"He can't even win the first round, how did he reach the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"He was the last casual cultivator to reach the shore in the second level. His cultivation and aptitude were mediocre. He was able to enter the third level purely out of luck. It's normal that he couldn't solve the problem."
On the third day of the chess game, many independent practitioners gave up on cracking it and became spectators.
Seeing that Xiang Sheng, who was at the bottom, had not won a single game and was still persisting, some people mocked him, while others marveled at him, and there was a mixture of ease and contempt in their conversation.
Only Shu Gaoming felt something was wrong.
After seeing Xiang Sheng at the end of the second level, he had finally come to his senses after being shocked at first.
"Xiang Sheng..."
He looked into the distance at the room where Xiang Sheng was.
This woman has always been Xiang Hongyu's attendant. She has a clean background and is just a mortal with low qualifications, so he has never doubted her.
However, the facts are before us, and looking back at Xiang Sheng's various actions——
The witch Lu became famous in her first battle. She was also in Xuanwang City and deceived her by pretending to be seriously injured and dying. When the witch Lu appeared in Fangcunji, she happened to be missing and did not come back with Xiang Hongyu.
After that, it was the Four Extremes Secret Realm.
All the traces fit together so perfectly that he couldn't help but believe it.
Xiang Sheng is the evil woman of the Lu family!
This woman was able to humiliate Fengyue Sect several times in just one year and still escape unscathed. How could she be so mentally resilient? How could she not even be able to crack the first chess game?
Shu Gaoming turned his gaze and glanced at "Xiang Hongyu" who was far ahead, and then took a deep look at Dong Jinghuan who had solved most of the situation, with a slight smile on his face.
This is really getting more and more interesting.
Xiang Sheng looked at the chessboard quietly, his body motionless, like a wooden sculpture, but his thoughts changed very quickly.
She had seen the deeper meaning behind the chess game two days ago.
The reason why it is familiar is that after simplifying the rules of the chess game, it happens to be the simplest forbidden pattern.
This pattern sounds simple, but in fact it is very winding. If she had not seen it and memorized it thousands of times on the wall of the secret room at the bottom of the cliff, on the golden paper that recorded the breath-concealing technique, and on the "Deceiving Heaven" formation plate, she would not have felt familiar with it.
If we record the order of moves in each game of chess corresponding to the human body, we can compile a formula.
Thinking of this, Xiang Sheng suddenly became enlightened and his mind was shocked.
This is the method of practicing prohibition!
The third level appears to be a test of mental calculation, but in fact it is secretly imparting the orthodoxy?
That demon cultivator has a close connection with Siji City. Could it be that he has already mastered the restrictions?
No, that's not right.
Xiang Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at the square room of "Xiang Hongyu". If he had learned the restrictions long ago, he should be able to see through the chess game at a glance and would not have to spend time calculating.
Putting aside all distractions, Xiang Sheng took out a jade slip and recorded the formula for the first game of chess. Then he finally picked up a word and placed it on the chessboard.
Many casual cultivators who saw Xiang Sheng's movements were unconcerned. One young cultivator even laughed and said, "He spent three days thinking about this first step. I don't think he will be able to solve the first game even after this stage is over."
As soon as these words fell, someone exclaimed in surprise: "He broke through!"
"What?!"
All the wandering cultivators looked over immediately, and indeed saw a faint "two" appearing next to Xiang Sheng's chessboard.
Seeing this, the young cultivator who had just scoffed at him couldn't hold back his expression. He snorted coldly, "What's so strange about this? Fellow Daoists here, everyone has gotten through more than ten rounds before getting stuck. Look, he's stopped again. This pause might last another three to five days."
After the young monk finished speaking, Xiang Sheng had just finished engraving the second restriction spell before he moved again.
She made her move extremely quickly, almost without having to think. In just three or five breaths, the chessboard flashed white light again, revealing a faint "three".
“It’s so fast!”
There were exclamations and shrill laughter from the wandering cultivators. While they were laughing, they would look at the young cultivator from time to time.
The young cultivator's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but shout, "So what if he can break through ten rounds? He's just average. If he has the guts, he can compete with the sect's true disciples!"
As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately followed up, "Fellow Daoist, if he truly surpasses the sect's true disciple, what will you do?"
The young monk was embarrassed and could only sneer and point at the chessboard, saying, "If he can really break through more than thirty games, I will eat all the chess pieces!"
"good!"
"It's a deal!"
"You can't regret it."
As soon as the bet was made, more people came to watch the fun, and even many disciples from the sect joined in and joined in the cheers.
"The younger generation in the Dongzhou cultivation world is truly getting worse with each generation."
Shu Gaoming looked at the excitement, sighed softly, turned around and said with a smile: "Fortunately, we still have Junior Brother Xiang in our sect. He has reached the 50th game at such a young age, and the 51st game is in sight. His future is really promising. Senior Brother Jiang, what do you think?"
Jiang Yi didn't even raise his head, as if he didn't hear these words at all, but he tightened his two fingers holding the chess piece and suddenly made a move.
As soon as the piece was moved, the chessboard was instantly covered with white light. After the light faded, a new situation appeared, and the number on the chessboard showed "thirty-four".
However, Jiang Yi was not happy at all. He did not fully understand the previous game.
"Amazing! Senior Brother Jiang is really amazing!"
Shu Gaoming immediately clapped his hands and praised loudly.
Jiang Yi suddenly turned to look at Shu Gaoming, his eyes as cold as lightning, and his tone was cold: "If you say another word, after the competition, it will be your death."
Shu Gaoming spread his hands and sighed softly, "Senior Brother Jiang is quite arrogant. I won't say anything."
Shu Gaoming was not only cruel and ruthless, but also famous for his sarcastic remarks. Jiang Yi scolded him and was too lazy to pay any more attention to him. He continued to concentrate on cracking the code, but his state was inevitably affected and his speed was much slower than before.
