Chapter 489: Element Fusion - Breaking the Game

Spirit chess is a puzzle game for the Silver Moon Clan to cultivate the next generation.

However, the difficulty of the chess game is extremely high and cannot be fully understood. Even the old scholars of the Silver Moon Clan are still studying the rules of spirit chess.

Even for this reason, a school of spirit chess studies has been derived.

Through the content of the mural, Feng Qi learned that spirit chess actually appeared in the Silver Snake Clan before the Silver Moon Clan.

For the Silver Snake Clan.

The concept of the chessboard symbolizes the big world in the setting. The chess pieces are composed of 360 natural elements, symbolizing the 360 ​​element law lines that construct the world. The criss-crossing lines on the chessboard imply that everything is running within the framework.

And the rules of spirit chess are the rules of the world.

In essence, the spirit chessboard is a microcosm of the world, and like the world, it is affected by rules such as element fusion and element restraint.

The chess player is the user of the rules and cannot make decisions that transcend the rules.

For example, in the element game, the chess player cannot condense a chess piece holding a gun to shoot the opponent's element chess piece.

The core idea of ​​​​spiritual chess is to follow the rules of the world and grasp the rules in the disorder to condense into order.

Under the rules, the chess player is flexible.

In order to win the game, in addition to having a strong understanding of the elements, you must also have a strong psychological quality and need to engage in multi-angle psychological games with your opponent.

As the commander who controls the army of elements, one wrong step may lead to the defeat of the entire army.

Therefore, spiritual chess can also play a certain role in cultivating military talents.

Promoting spiritual chess within the human race is something Feng Qi has always wanted to do.

He thinks that spiritual chess is also suitable for humans, and can cultivate the new generation of humans' understanding of elements, and can also cultivate their overall view.

But there is a problem that has never been solved, which has limited the promotion of spiritual chess.

The gameplay of spiritual chess is essentially a threshold.

Grabbing elements and condensing them into pieces is a very easy thing in the eyes of the members of the Silver Moon Clan, but most humans are not able to do it.

Even those outstanding students who have entered the top 100 universities still have a weak control over elements.

The human race has not yet reached this stage in the mastery and cognition of elements.

Only the new generation of students who study magic are qualified to play spirit chess.

Feng Qi once thought of creating a simulation board to solve this problem.

But the spirit chess board is drawn in accordance with the rules of heaven and earth, and the simulation board cannot be perfectly reproduced.

The spirit chess board is also affected by the area where it is located.

For example, if the location of the spirit chess board is at the seaside, the water element chess piece will get a certain strength increase during the game.

Therefore, the environment is also one of the factors that need to be considered in the spirit chess game.

The use of the simulation board will make the students' cognition of elements vague and unclear.

There is a clear difference in element cognition between virtual and real.

For this reason, Feng Qi chose to further develop knowledge in the field of elements while waiting for Mu Yu, trying to create a universal and uncomplicated version of element cognition.

This was also one of the main tasks he gave to the Dawn Academy at that time.

The Dawn Academy did not disappoint him and successfully compiled three popular science books on element cognition and control.

Starting from this timeline, the new version of the element cognition textbook has begun to be popularized in Xingcheng in advance.

The promotion of spirit chess will also be carried out on this sacrifice line.

While thinking about his own thoughts, Feng Qi cast his eyes on Lei Ting, who was standing in front of the Ultimate Machine and playing chess.

After watching him play more than ten games, Lei Ting had obviously mastered the rules of spiritual chess.

Feeling itchy, he took the initiative to volunteer to participate in the spiritual chess game.

Perhaps Lei Ting has a strong talent and experience in leading troops to fight.

But his control of elements is not satisfactory.

In the first game of spiritual chess, Lei Ting condensed the thunder element chess pieces throughout the whole process, formed a thunder element army in the way he is best at, and deployed troops to set up three offensives to play against the chess in the Ultimate Machine.

But the exact same chess pieces were easily restrained. In the first round, Lei Ting only lasted more than ten minutes before he began to collapse completely. In the end, the lightning on the chessboard dissipated, and Lei Ting ended in a miserable defeat.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Lei Ting quickly started the second round of the game.

In this game, Lei Ting no longer insisted on condensing the thunder element chess pieces, and began to participate in the game according to the principle of elemental restraint.

But the end result was still that he was defeated after not persisting for long.

In the constant failure, Lei Ting's growth was also very significant.

The one playing against Lei Ting was not AI, but the Silver Snake Clan priest who set up the chess game.

To win, one must defeat the wisdom of the Silver Snake Clan priest.

But compared to the Silver Snake Clan priest, Lei Ting has an obvious advantage, he can do it again and again.

This means that as long as Lei Ting can find the mistake in the previous move, he can continue to move towards victory, similar to the time backtracking of Feng Qi.

Finding that Lei Ting is constantly replaying the chess game, Feng Qi, who was watching from the side, suddenly felt that victory was in sight.

But the idea was beautiful, but the reality slapped him in the face.

Soon Feng Qi found that Lei Ting's strategy did not work.

The process was completely similar to the previous one, but at the critical moment, the move of the ultimate machine actually changed.

This caused the victory that was close to collapse again.

Looking at the chess pieces belonging to Lei Ting on the chessboard being swallowed up on a large scale, Feng Qi felt helpless.

If Lin Ran was here at this time, he might really be able to break the game.

Lin Ran has been in contact with spiritual chess for just a few months, and his spiritual chess attainments have surpassed Yin Ling, who taught him the rules of spiritual chess.

But now it is completely impossible to contact Lin Ran.

Not to mention that he didn't have a communication device, and even if he did, it would be impossible to do it.

The area where he was located was densely populated, and the signal had to pass through countless fields before it could be transmitted to Star City. The existing communication devices could not do this.

He could only hope that Lei Ting could grow quickly in failure and complete the breakthrough.

Lei Ting's game is still going on.

This process is really long.

In about twenty minutes, Lei Ting will restart the game.

Feng Qi watched with full attention, learning the experience of deploying troops through Lei Ting's game.

On his shoulder, Xiao You had already dozed off with his head tilted.

Tai Hang at his feet was lying on the ground, not interested in Lingqi at all.

Po Jia, on the other hand, was also learning the game skills of Lingqi. From his expression and eyes, it can be seen that he is also very interested in Lingqi.

Time passed.

Hungry Xiao You woke up from his sleep, yawned and started to shout "hungry".

There was no way, Feng Qi could only light a fire on the spot, and then take out the ingredients from Xiao You's portable space to start making food.

After eating and drinking, he looked up and saw Lei Ting still playing Lingqi with full concentration.

"Do you want to change my turn?"

Facing Feng Qi's question, Lei Ting said without turning his head:

"No, I have found the skills and I am about to win. Wait a little longer."

This wait lasted for thirteen days.

On the thirteenth day after arriving at the Silver Snake Ruins, Feng Qi woke up from his rest.

When he opened his eyes and looked up, he saw Lei Ting with two dark circles under his eyes and a pale face, like a soldier who had stayed up all night in an Internet cafe. His hands were shaking while playing chess, and he seemed to be unable to condense the elements.

If this continued, he had no doubt that Lei Ting would die suddenly.

The damned competitive spirit drove Lei Ting unwilling to admit defeat.

Feng Qi stood up at this time. He decided to let Lei Ting take a good rest for a few days and continue fighting after he recovered.

If he really couldn't crack it, forget it.

He had roughly memorized the direction of this domain from Star City.

In the future timeline, if conditions permit, he would bring Lin Ran here and let Lin Ran try to break the game.

Coming to Lei Ting's side, Feng Qi looked at the chessboard.

The four corners of the chessboard were covered by fire, sea, forest, and lightning, and Lei Ting's chess piece was in the center of the encirclement, and his situation was precarious.

This game was almost in a dead end.

Just as Feng Qi expected, when Lei Ting's wood element chess piece fell, a strong elemental fluctuation was generated above the spiritual chessboard. A fire element chess piece fell, instantly forming a prairie fire, eating up one-third of Lei Ting's chess pieces.

The chain reaction was not over.

The moment the situation was lost, the siege formed by the other three corners of the chessboard started.

The chessboard continued to spread the spiritual fluctuations, and Lei Ting's chess pieces were swallowed up one by one.

Faced with the defeat, Lei Ting decisively reached out and slapped the chessboard, and restarted the game before he was completely defeated.

It was like the old man in the park who couldn't stand losing and flipped the chessboard.

The elements on the restarted chessboard collapsed, the chessboard restarted, and the criss-crossing rule lines were clearly arranged.

"Take a break."

Feng Qi put his hand on Lei Ting's shoulder.

Faced with the admonition, Lei Ting raised his head and said with a haggard look:

"Don't panic, I'm about to win. The broken machine can only make a few moves. I have completely figured it out. I will kill it in the next game."

Seeing Lei Ting with dark circles under his eyes still talking hard, Feng Qi almost laughed out loud.

Lei Ting is not only tough in words, but also tough in actions.

After losing for more than ten days, he still refused to admit defeat and wanted to continue playing chess.

Feng Qi felt that Lei Ting's personality was completely related to his growth environment.

According to Lei Ting's description, before he became the Thunder King, his father was the Thunder King, and he became the new Thunder King as an heir.

Unlike those strong people who rose from humble beginnings.

Lei Ting has enjoyed the most favorable growth environment since he was a child, and his family has also focused on cultivating his self-esteem and self-confidence as a king.

In the Thunder Clan, he has always been the one who says what he means.

Although he has joined the team he formed, this personality of Lei Ting has never been smoothed out.

This is reflected in normal times.

But he didn't expect Lei Ting's self-esteem to be so strong.

Even though his body was shaking and he obviously couldn't hold on any longer, he still gritted his teeth and refused to admit defeat.

This kind of character can indeed help people overcome despair and usher in hope at certain times, but more often than not, he is like an iron-headed kid who is bound to suffer losses.

Just like when facing the Blood Soul Clan.

From the conversation between Lei Ting and the members of the Blood Soul Clan, it can be seen that Lei Ting obviously knew that he was on the weak side and wanted to exchange his interests for peace.

But after being rejected, he still took the initiative to choose to go to war.

Perhaps the ending cannot be changed, but Lei Ting's choice undoubtedly accelerated the demise of the Lei Ting Clan.

"Forget it, let's take a day off and come back."

As he said this, Feng Qi pulled Lei Ting away, and after being pulled up by him, Lei Ting suddenly closed his eyes as if a sleep switch had been triggered.

Looking at Lei Ting, whose breathing rhythm was gradually stabilizing, Feng Qi couldn't help shaking his head.

In terms of military talent, Lei Ting is indeed excellent, but he is still too naive in his character.

In comparison, I am much more mature at the age of 17.

At this time, the voice of the Demon Knife sounded in his mind:

"I have checked Lei Ting's physical condition. It is not a problem for his race to reach a natural lifespan of 1,000 years. So his 200 years old, from your human perspective, is not even 20 years old."

"You can't compare it that way. At least he has experienced 200 years of growth, right?"

"You are wrong. The character of the mind has nothing to do with age, but only with the environment..."

After a brief discussion with the Demon Knife about the issue of age and character, Feng Qi cast his eyes on the chessboard.

Next, he planned to try to break the game again.

He waved his hand to condense a dark element chess piece, and he landed it in the center of the chessboard. Suddenly, black fog spread all around.

The Ultimate Machine's move speed was extremely fast. As soon as he made a move, a fire element chess piece was pressed on the top of the dark element chess piece...

Similar to Lei Ting's situation, Feng Qi was also experiencing continuous failures during the game.

But his understanding of spiritual chess was gradually improved during the game.

Two days later, Lei Ting woke up from his coma, first had a big meal, and then walked slowly to the chessboard with his hands behind his back.

Looking at Feng Qi who was playing chess, Lei Ting could still hold back at first, but soon began to point fingers.

Lei Ting did not have the virtue of watching chess without saying a word.

Feng Qi sometimes listened to Lei Ting's suggestions, but most of them would be ignored.

At this time, Lei Ting would appear very irritable, and could not help but slap his thigh angrily, while cursing, and kicking Taihang by the way.

On the third day, Feng Qi chose to give way to Lei Ting and let him continue the game.

This time, Feng Qi gave Lei Ting ten days.

If he could not break the game, he would leave.

The most important thing about this sacrifice line is the challenge of ascending to the godhood. The Ultimate Machine can completely wait for the next sacrifice line to find a way to break the game.

Hearing that there were only ten days left, Lei Ting seemed to be particularly serious about the next game.

Perhaps because of the adequate rest, Lei Ting's chess skills have improved significantly.

The elemental traps he laid several times almost reversed the situation.

Day 9.

When Feng Qi was about to give up, he heard the sound of Lei Ting slapping his thigh excitedly.

Feng Qi, who was feeding Xiao You, immediately turned his head curiously and looked at Lei Ting and the chessboard in front of him.

I saw a silver light on the spiritual chessboard, and the elemental chess pieces representing the ultimate machine quickly connected and swept the chessboard in two directions.

In just this move, Lei Ting's chess pieces on the chessboard were devoured by nearly half.

Facing the defeat, Lei Ting was not frustrated, but shouted with a smile on his face:

"Finally, I have waited for the opportunity, die!"

As he said, Lei Ting stretched out his hand and condensed a light element chess piece, which fell in the center of the chessboard. Suddenly, the chess pieces belonging to Lei Ting on the chessboard merged with each other, and finally gathered into a colorful chess piece.

Fusion was generated, and the chessboard exuded violent element fluctuations.

The colorful chess pieces swept away the chess pieces dropped by the Ultimate Machine with overwhelming force.

The disadvantage in the early stage was completely reversed after Lei Ting survived to the end and generated colorful chess pieces.

This is the terrible thing about element fusion.

The difficulty of completing the fusion of seven attributes is comparable to completing the connection of five pieces in Gobang, which is almost a sure win. The bursting power of elements is simply not something that ordinary element chess pieces can resist.

The victory is already determined.

Next, when the Ultimate Machine drops new chess pieces, they will be swallowed by the colorful chess pieces.

When Lei Ting spread his chess pieces all over the chessboard, it was equivalent to occupying the whole world, and the spirit chessboard collapsed.

At the same time, the eyes of the Ultimate Machine suddenly lit up red.

Trembling, the Ultimate Machine ignored gravity and floated in the air.

Hearing Lei Ting's triumphant laughter in his ears, Feng Qi couldn't help but grin.

After more than 20 days of hard work, he finally ushered in a satisfactory result.

Brothers, go to bed early. Staying up late will really make you bald. Listen to my advice.
