Song Yun didn’t feel much psychological pressure. In his opinion, this group of so-called masters probably couldn’t even beat the weakest national player he remembered.
Not to mention he was the fusion of the memories of ten national players.
"Please!"
Han Qi said in his broken Chinese.
Song Yun wasn’t polite either. Since the other party had underestimated him and let him play first, he might as well make it quick.
"Play at Tengen???"
"Damn! Does this person even know how to play chess? Who would just go and play there from the start!"
"Could this person be someone Chairman Liu brought in to embarrass us? Damn it! It’s over, starting from today, the Hua Country Go community will enter many years of darkness!"
Not only were the people at the venue shocked, but even the Go enthusiasts watching the live broadcast online were frantically posting comments.
"This young kid got onto such a big stage so young, could it be Chairman Liu’s behind-the-scenes manipulation?"
"He’s lost! You should know that playing at Tengen is the most useless move. It looks very domineering, but just taking the central point from the start is pointless, that move is wasted!"
"Sigh, it looks like I will have to boast less from now on. If we really get defeated by Kimchi Country, I will never play chess again!"
"This..."
Han Qi was also startled by Song Yun’s move and skeptically asked, "Mr. Song, did you make a mistake?"
"No, continue please."
If it wasn’t a mistake, then it was simply a show of contempt!
Han Qi felt that Chairman Liu was humiliating him!
And he sent someone who didn’t understand Go at all to hand him the victory!
Such a win was truly without honor!
What he wanted was an exhilarating battle, to end by offering a fake smile and saying a phrase like, "Thanks for letting me win!"
Not for someone to just hand over the score to him as if... they were shooing away a dog!
At that moment, Han Qi felt that the Go sovereign country, represented by Chairman Liu, didn’t deserve its reputation at all!
Since you want me to win, then don’t blame me for slapping your face hard!
"Here it comes! Han Qi’s most classic and deadliest game is coming!"
"It is said that few can decipher his gameplay, even the person who was ranked seventh internationally in Go nearly lost!"
"Sigh, why did this young man have to meddle in matters he shouldn’t have! Now look what’s happened; Hua Country’s millennia-old reputation is ruined in an instant!"
Facing the tempest around the central point, Song Yun was not disturbed at this moment.
In his view, playing against Han Qi was like beating up a child.
Oh no, more like a baby.
Once he exerted his strength, the opponent wouldn’t stand a chance.
"How can he still be so calm while playing!"
"Has he been scared stiff? I’m really impressed, Chairman Liu should step down and yield his position! His age is showing, and his brain isn’t working well anymore!"
"Wait... why does it seem like the situation on the board is becoming one-sided?"
In front of everyone’s eyes, Han Qi felt as if there was a fierce tiger with glaring eyes standing on the chessboard, roaring at him non-stop!
And the Tengen where Song Yun initially played had finally had a decisive impact!
Song Yun casually slapped a chess piece onto the board, and instantly, the whole board came to life!
The situation that was heavily in Han Qi’s favor was reversed in an instant!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Han Qi stood up, then bent over the board to look closely.
After going through the moves over and over again in his mind, he sat down on the ground, helpless.
"I’ve lost..."
He didn’t resign by placing a stone, but directly and honorably declared defeat!
No sooner had he spoken than Han Qi felt something was amiss; he quickly covered his mouth and then absentmindedly grabbed a handful of stones and threw them on the board.
"The match between Hua Country and Kimchi Country, two to one, Hua Country wins!"
Chairman Liu shouted excitedly.
I’ll show you bastards for underestimating Song Yun, hmph!
But who wouldn’t let their guard down upon seeing the first move at tengen...
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
Remembering how he was soundly defeated by Song Yun on the online platform, Chairman Liu also felt a bit guilty.
Thank goodness Song Yun is from Hua Country, thank goodness he agreed to participate in the competition!
Thank you, Go Chess ancestor!
"Heh, you see what I said? Once you underestimate Hua Country, they’re bound to give you a big surprise."
Master Yu Xiaogen said to his disciple, "This young man is quite interesting; I can actually see a hint of a grandmaster in him."
Yamada was shocked upon hearing such high praise from his teacher.
Could it be that this young man is truly a celestial being sent by Hua Country to rescue their Go world?
So young and he’s already reached the threshold of a grandmaster; if nothing unexpected happens, Hua Country is likely to add to its glory with this new grandmaster!
At this thought, Yamada shivered.
They had just been suppressed by a grandmaster from Hua Country, and as soon as he passed away, another one appeared!
This couldn’t help but arouse envy and jealousy in others!
At the same time, Yamada greatly admired his own master for his farsightedness—a rarity indeed!
All the voices in the Cherry Blossom Country that were opposed to Master Yu Xiaogen vanished at this moment!
"The next match will be us against Kimchi Country. Their morale has been greatly reduced, so if we can’t win this time, all of you might as well take your own lives!"
After Master Yu Xiaogen said this, he heard Chairman Liu announcing the next match.
This Chairman Liu clearly had no intention of giving the Kimchi Country team a break!
Moreover, he chose the most shameless rotation battle!
If Kimchi Country had won just now, they might have been able to carry the momentum to strike at the Cherry Blossom Country, but they lost!
When Master Yu Xiaogen sat opposite Li Shuo, the look on Li Shuo’s face was as unsightly as it could be!
From Li Shuo’s point of view, the Cherry Blossom Country might be the ultimate winner!
And Kimchi Country would become the venting point of Hua Country’s Go community!
For the next few decades, they won’t get to develop their Go world in peace!
"Master Yu Xiaogen, what a calculation!"
Li Shuo said expressionlessly.
"Hehe, same as before, your heart is in turmoil, and each move you make is chaotic too."
Master Yu Xiaogen said with a smile, "This time, the opportunity is ours. If there’s a chance in the future... Oh no, after this incident, Go in the Cherry Blossom Country will quieten down, since Hua Country is about to gain a new grandmaster."
"What???"
Li Shuo’s eyes widened, holding a stone in his hand and cried out in disbelief, "A new grandmaster? Where did you hear such news!"
"Isn’t he standing right in front of you?"
Master Yu Xiaogen pointed at Song Yun and said, "This young man is simply extraordinary. I dare to assert that within three years, he will surely become Hua Country’s new grandmaster. By that time, the Cherry Blossom Country will cease its confrontations with Hua Country, and as for you Kimchi Country, good luck to you!"
Li Shuo couldn’t dare to argue against Master Yu Xiaogen’s words, for Master Yu Xiaogen never misjudged.
So, the days ahead for Kimchi Country would not just be sorrowful, but dark!
