This is a common practice for the sect, but for independent practitioners, it is a real disadvantage.
Xiang Sheng sat on the futon, holding the white piece in his hand, his eyes becoming more and more thoughtful.
The description of Qi Guan in the Tianqing Pavilion files was ambiguous, and there were many signs of sects' intervention and tampering. She didn't believe a single word of it.
As soon as she sat on the cushion, she already understood the basic rules.
This chess game looks like the Go from the previous life, but the rules are much more complicated. Only cultivators with extremely fast calculation skills can play it. Ordinary people will probably suffer from heart failure and be unable to continue before they can finish a single game.
This first game was relatively easy to crack. She deduced it in her mind and came up with the answer, but...
Why does this chess game feel so familiar?
She frowned slightly, trying her best to recall, but she was in no hurry to make a move.
The simpler the chess game was, the easier it was to see the deeper meaning behind it. If she was impatient and tried her best to crack it first, it would be difficult to figure out the source of this familiar feeling when the game became more and more complicated.
Sitting next to Xiang Sheng was also a casual cultivator who looked quite young.
He stared at the incomprehensible chessboard for a long time, scratching his head and unable to make up his mind.
Sighing, he looked up and saw that most of the squares on the wall had pieces placed, and some even had several chess games solved. He couldn't help but feel anxious and frustrated.
After all, I am considered a strong man among the independent cultivators. Am I really so inferior to the disciples of the sect?
As he was thinking, he turned his head and saw that Xiang Sheng had not made a single move either. He felt comforted and finally calmed down and started to concentrate on thinking.
Bang!
Jiang Yi looked calm as he placed the last chess piece, and the game was immediately solved.
A flash of white light appeared on the chessboard, and a new chess game appeared.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, he had reached the fourth game.
The speed was quite fast, but Jiang Yi didn't care at all, as if everything was within his expectations and there was nothing to be proud of.
Everyone in the sect only knew that he had practiced for many years and was the best among his peers, but they didn't know that he was also good at deduction and liked to play chess.
In all the chess levels that have been passed, the number of people who ranked first was about fifty, and the highest record was only sixty-seven.
But he was confident that he could push the record to over 80.
The first and second levels were full of uncertainty, and he failed to win the championship. However, the third level was a pure test of ability.
He is undoubtedly the leader.
Thinking of this, he continued to make moves without even looking at the other rooms.
Little did he know that someone had already surpassed him by far.
Du Yuan stared at Xiang Hongyu's square room in horror, his mind in a mess and he could no longer concentrate on making his move.
"How could it be so fast?"
He was concentrating on playing chess, but when he casually glanced at Xiang Hongyu's room, he saw that he had already broken through to the ninth level, which was almost half faster than his senior brother!
"This person is abnormal! Is he related to the Lu family witch?"
Du Yuan's thoughts raced, but he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Dong Jinghuan was also surprised to see the number of games that Xiang Hongyu had cracked. He just took a look and then lowered his head to think about the game again.
For this day, he even gave up his cultivation and secluded himself to study chess for ten years.
"After clearing the 100th level, you can unlock the hidden fourth level!"
Dong Jinghuan felt secretly nervous. This was a secret he learned after obtaining the Four Extremes Formation Disk, and he didn't tell anyone.
However, even though he was fully prepared and had the Four Pole Formation to help him crack the chess game, he still wasn't completely confident.
"Xiang Hongyu" broke through so quickly, he must be planning to reach the fourth level.
Maybe, even if he couldn't break through the 100 levels, he could still achieve his wish with the help of this demon.
Dong Jinghuan's eyes flickered, and he quickly dismissed the idea.
Not to mention that the other party is an old devil with cunning behavior, he doesn't like to put the initiative in the hands of others.
Everything depends on yourself.
Dong Jinghuan continued to crack the expectation and pressed the array plate in his arms with his left hand. Now was not the time to use it.
Time passed by little by little, and before I knew it, three days had passed.
During these three days, Xiang Hongyu's speed of breaking through the game also slowed down. At the beginning, he could break a game in ten breaths, but now it takes half a day to break a game.
However, even so, the exaggerated "fifty innings" is enough to make people stunned.
Jiang Yi, who claimed that he would win the championship, only managed to deduce to the 33rd round, while Dong Jinghuan was only one sentence away and stopped at the 32nd round, which really surprised many people.
Further down, there are Bai Miaoyin, the first true disciple of Baihua Valley, Wei Lesheng, the first true disciple of Qianxing Palace, and Zhong Yongchang, the first true disciple of Guimu Valley, all stuck in the 29th game.
In addition to these geniuses, there is another person whose battle record also shocked many people.
That is Xiang Sheng.
Three days passed, and she was still sitting cross-legged on the mat, motionless, without dropping a single move.
