Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Page 110

Is this a coincidence?

'If it's not a coincidence, then where did these guys come from, and why did they challenge Chen Anxia to a duel?'

Kaoru Kishimoto murmured to himself.

At the same time, Kaga Tetsuo couldn't help but look at the player in front of him, who was exuding the aura of Go.

Kaga Tetsuo's opponent in this round is also one of them, exuding the aura of Go, and is surging towards Kaga Tetsuo.

At this moment, Kaga Tetsuo finally understood the meaning of what Kurozuki Ryoko had said.

Kaga Tetsuo never expected that reality would be so shocking.

As a disciple of Shigeo Morishita, Tetsuo Kaga was naturally very familiar with the affairs of the Go world.

Therefore, what Kishimoto Kaoru could think of, Kaga Tetsuo could also think of.

It was precisely because he could think of it that it was even more difficult for Kaga Tetsuo to accept.

Kaga Tetsuo couldn't help but mutter to himself.

'Thirty-three moves of Go mastery, thirty-three players at the academy student level...'

'How could a competition of this caliber, the inter-university Go league, possibly have so many players at the college student level? There must be some mistake here...'

Then, Kaga Tetsuo's brows furrowed slightly again, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at Kurozuki Ryoko, who remained calm and composed, showing no sign of surprise. He thought to himself, 'Strange, how did Kurozuki know this beforehand...?'

'Since Black Moon was able to know this fact in advance, does she also know where these thirty-three academy-level contestants came from?'

Unaware of Kaga Tetsuo's thoughts, Kurozuki Ryoko was completely absorbed in the game of Go.

Even Kaga Tetsuo's opponents were all at the Insei level, so it goes without saying that Kurozuki Ryoko, as the captain, would face even more formidable opponents.

However, Ryoko Kurozuki's opponent did not unleash his own Go-style aura.

The reason for this is that Ryoko Kurozuki's chess moves make him feel fear, powerlessness, heaviness, and oppression.

And as the game progressed, this fear, powerlessness, heaviness, and oppression became increasingly apparent.

At this moment, Kurozuki Ryoko's opponent was already drenched in cold sweat. Although he wanted to make a move, he found that his hand holding the piece had become incredibly heavy.

He knew why.

Subconsciously, he looked at Ryoko Kurozuki, and this was the first time he had seriously looked at her.

Upon closer inspection, he seemed to discover something. His pupils contracted sharply, his hand holding the chess piece trembled violently, and the piece slipped from his grasp uncontrollably.

However, he was completely oblivious to this, and instead looked at Ryoko Kurozuki in fear, his voice trembling as he stammered, "You are...you are..."

Seeing this, Ryoko Kurozuki slowly put her hand to her lips and gently shushed him.

The shushing sound seemed to have a magical power, instantly silencing him.

Then, a somewhat weak but relieved voice rang out, "I lost..."

After winning the game, Ryoko Kurozuki left the arena and headed towards the Go club she had previously inquired about, muttering, "Chen Anxia...I'm here!"

......

Adjust the outline.

I'm adjusting the outline today, so there won't be any updates. This outline adjustment will speed up the progress of Hikaru no Go. The next world is Prince of Tennis, and the world after that is Detective Conan.

The Prince of Tennis is a transitional world, a fast-paced world, and its length will not be as long as Hikaru no Go. The mission rewards in the Prince of Tennis world are very important for the later shonen manga and the protagonist's power improvement. Most importantly, the Prince of Tennis world view will only be taken up to the National Tournament and will not be incorporated into the New Prince of Tennis world view.

Chapter 165 The Storm Rises Again: A Challenge from the Profession!

Go club at Haiwang Private Middle School.

When Kurozuki Ryoko arrived, Chen Anxia and Touya Akira's match was not yet over.

Because Chen Anxia and Touya Akira's game was surrounded by spectators, there was no space for Kurozuki Ryoko to squeeze in.

Therefore, Ryoko Kurozuki did not watch the game between Chen Anxia and Akira Toya, but waited for the game to end in an open space to the side.

To be honest, Ryoko Kurozuki wasn't particularly interested in the match between Chen Anxia and Akira Toya.

Although Chen Anxia provided a solution to the legendary triple ko, in Kurozuki Ryoko's opinion, the one who truly provided the solution was the Go master, Miki Soji.

As for Akira Touya, although he played a game of truth and was hailed as the number one young player in the Go world.

However, in Ryoko Kurozuki's eyes, Akira Toya was ultimately just a game NPC, and his chess skills were not good enough to interest Ryoko Kurozuki.

Even in Ryoko Kurozuki's view, although Akira Touya's Go skills were higher than hers and he had already reached the professional level, he was not unbeatable.

Because of her own skill level, Ryoko Kurozuki has already stepped into the professional level.

Therefore, even if there is a gap in skill between Ryoko Kurozuki and Akira Touya, the difference wouldn't be too significant.

Under these circumstances, as long as Ryoko Kurozuki plays steadily in the early stages, even if she is at a disadvantage in the early stages, she may be able to turn the tide and win in the final stages.

After all, Ryoko Kurozuki inherited the principles of Go from Dosai Tengen.

Tengen Dosai's endgame skills are widely recognized as the best in the world, allowing Kurotsuki Ryoko to fight against opponents of higher ranks and defeat stronger opponents despite being weaker.

However, Ryoko Kurozuki had no idea what the game she had missed meant or what it contained.

Without keeping Kurozuki Ryoko waiting any longer, Chen Anxia and Touya Akira's game ended about ten minutes later.

Kurozuki Ryoko heard Akira Touya's voice as he conceded defeat, but due to the distance, she couldn't hear it clearly and couldn't tell whether it was Akira Touya or Chen Anxia who conceded defeat.

Subconsciously, Ryoko Kurozuki assumed that Chen Anxia had abandoned his pawn and conceded defeat.

Because Ryoko Kurozuki had watched the game between Chen Anxia and Tetsuo Kaga two weeks ago.

Therefore, Kurozuki Ryoko was aware of Chen Anxia's skill level, knowing that Chen Anxia's skill was definitely no greater than Touya Akira's, and even inferior to her own.

Although Chen Anxia's chess skills may improve over these two weeks.

But how much chess skill can one improve in two weeks?

This mindset gave Ryoko Kurozuki great confidence in completing the mission.

Ryoko Kurozuki believed that as long as she applied the principles of Go from Michiya Tengen, there was a high probability that she could force Chen Anxia to resign in the middle game.

Ryoko Kurozuki also wanted Chen Anxia to concede in the middle game, only in this way could she guarantee that she could get back before the start of the second round of the competition.

After all, the inter-school Go league is a series of tasks, and Ryoko Kurozuki is determined to succeed in this one.

Without hesitation, Ryoko Kurozuki walked towards the crowd.

During this process, Ryoko Kurozuki was puzzled, not understanding why the atmosphere around her was still so quiet and oppressive after the game ended, and why the spectators around the game were so silent.

However, Kurozuki Ryoko didn't think much of it. After getting closer, she said directly, "Chen Anxia, ​​as agreed, let's play a game of chess!"

Ryoko Kurozuki's words broke the silence and drew everyone's attention to her.

Although those present could not accurately perceive Chen Anxia's chess skills, even Teacher Yin was not able to.

However, it is an undeniable fact that Chen Anxia defeated Toya Akira, and this alone is enough to give us a glimpse into Chen Anxia's chess skills.

Therefore, they were puzzled, wondering who would challenge Chen Anxia right after he defeated Touya Akira. Could it be a professional Go player?

But there aren't any professional Go players at the private Neptune High School...

As everyone was thinking, their eyes all focused on Ryoko Kurozuki.

Upon seeing Ryoko Kurozuki clearly, everyone was taken aback, and then began to whisper among themselves.

"Who is he?"

"This man is quite handsome, but I wonder how good he is at chess. He actually dared to challenge Chen Anxia."

"Isn't he wearing the uniform of Neptune Private Middle School? How did he get in?"

“I recognize his school uniform. If I remember correctly, it should be the uniform of Yase Junior High School.”

"So, he must be a player participating in the inter-school Go league."

"No way, a player participating in the inter-school Go league actually dares to challenge Chen Anxia?"

Does Yase Junior High School have a Go club?

......

Akira Touya would recognize Ryoko Kurozuki because he was present when she challenged him to a duel.

Although Akira Touya didn't know where Ryoko Kurozuki's confidence came from in challenging Anxia Chen, he had already sensed the recent upheavals in the Go world.

Therefore, Akira Touya will not underestimate anyone.

After calming himself down, Akira Touya voluntarily stepped aside.

Ryoko Kurozuki then walked through the crowd and sat down directly in Akira Touya's seat.

As for Chen Anxia, ​​he was already tidying up the chess game.

Chen Anxia would naturally remember Ryoko Kurozuki, and there were some things that needed to be verified through Ryoko Kurozuki.

After tidying up the chessboard, Chen Anxia picked up a few chess pieces from the chess box and held them out to Kurozuki Ryoko.

Although Chen Anxia did not respond to Kurozuki Ryoko with words, he responded to her with actions.

Seeing this, Ryoko Kurozuki did not hesitate and directly picked up two chess pieces from the chess box and placed them on the chessboard.

Chen Anxia has four pieces in his hand, and this result means that Kurozuki Ryoko will play black and move first.

Without hesitation, Ryoko Kurozuki picked up a chess piece and placed it on the star position in the upper left corner.

Snapped!

With a crisp, clear sound of a piece being placed, the game between Kurozuki Ryoko and Chen Anxia began.

Meanwhile, at Hikaru Shindo's home.

Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara are dominating the world of online Go.

Although the opponents Hikaru Shindo has been matched with recently have not been very strong and none of them have reached the professional level.

However, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. After a period of continuous play, Fujiwara no Sai's Shusaku style has begun to evolve, constantly incorporating modern joseki and moves.

Hikaru Shindo felt this most deeply.

Hikaru Shindo firmly believed that Honinbo Shusaku, who had never lost a game with black, would soon return to this world.
