Master Xiao Gen’s words had left Li Shuo somewhat flustered, and he held the Go piece in his hand, reluctant to place it down for a long time.
"What’s the matter? Can’t even make a move now? Is this the composure of a professional Go player?"
Master Xiao Gen said sternly, "When Mount Tai collapses before one’s eyes without causing a change in expression—haven’t you heard of this ancient saying from Hua Country? Didn’t your master teach you that?"
"Clack..."
Li Shuo remembered his master’s dying instruction, which was to ensure, by any means necessary, that the Go of Kimchi Country stood on its own!
The words his master had shouted with his last breath, were probably now impossible to realize!
Therefore, Li Shuo was momentarily lost, unsure of what path to take next, what fate awaited the Go of Kimchi Country?
His mind in disarray, his grip faltered, and a Go piece slipped from his hand, bounced twice on the board, and fell to the floor!
"Damn it! What’s going on? Giving up before the game even starts? Is this Li Shuo an imposter or what?"
"Did Master Xiao Gen learn some kind of secret technique? To directly control a person’s mind, making him concede?"
"This game is probably the strangest one in nearly a hundred years."
Whether it was the audience on the scene or the netizens online, everyone found it incredibly unbelievable!
This was a professional player of international renown; how could he just concede at such a critical moment!
"Li Shuo!"
Master Xiao Gen hadn’t expected that just a few words from him would be too much for his opponent’s mental state to bear.
How old are you! Can’t you withstand this much?
"Ah?"
Li Shuo looked up bewilderingly at the spectators, and when he saw their surprised expressions, he looked down at his empty hands and suddenly realized something.
"I!!! Puh!!!"
He suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, feeling darkness gradually engulfing his vision.
"Li Shuo!"
Master Xiao Gen, covered in the blood spatter, set aside all else and hurried forward to check on him.
Having a Go player vomit blood during a match wasn’t unheard of, but afterwards, the other player was often labeled as sinister and ruthless. Find exclusive stories on Freewebnovel
He certainly did not want his lifetime of reputation to be tarnished by Li Shuo!
"Stop the competition!"
Chairman Liu was taken aback, what on earth, how could he suddenly vomit blood???
What did Masters Xiao Gen say to infuriate Li Shuo to this extent?
As the organizer, he wished to win this match, but he didn’t want to see anyone harmed in the process!
Therefore, Chairman Liu called for the medical team while starting to clear the crowd.
Today’s match could no longer continue!
"Han... Han Qi!"
Li Shuo, lying in his arms, grasped his shoulder tightly and shouted, "You must win! Even if just once! You must win! The future of our Kimchi Country’s Go depends on you now!!!"
"Puh!"
After saying this, another mouthful of fresh blood spewed forth.
The medical team members quickly started administering oxygen and performing cardiac resuscitation.
"Damn, this guy is really intense, he’s even vomiting blood!"
"Yeah, I’m beginning to doubt if he’s really a professional Go player. Doesn’t he maintain his composure and discipline on a daily basis?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the match isn’t over yet, and here we have a life at risk."
The live broadcast had not been turned off, and the online audience was somewhat taken aback. After all, they had only heard rumors about players vomiting blood, and witnessing it live was far more shocking!
"Chairman Liu, how do you think we should handle this?"
Master Xiao Gen asked nonchalantly as he approached Chairman Liu.
"Sigh, no one wants to see this kind of thing happen."
Chairman Liu felt a great weariness in his mind and shook his head, saying, "Kimchi Country’s Li Shuo certainly needs hospitalization, but since the match has already started there’s no reason to stop it. How about we call a ceasefire for one day, and tomorrow let someone from Kimchi Country replace him to continue the match?"
"Okay."
Master Xiao Gen had no objections and nodded to his disciples before returning to rest.
In his view, even if he was on good terms with Li Shuo in private, it couldn’t compare to the future of the go community in the Cherry Blossom Country.
"President Liu, I’ll be leaving first," said Song Yun as he stepped forward to greet.
President Liu nodded and said, "The match has been moved to tomorrow morning at ten, be on time!"
"Definitely."
After Song Yun left the venue, he found that the audience hadn’t left at all; they were all gathered outside, waiting for the latest news.
"Song Yun is coming out!"
"Song Yun! Can you tell us who your teacher is? Why did you play your first move at the center of the board?"
"Song Yun, Song Yun! Aren’t you the richest man in Magic Capital? How come you are also so skilled at playing go? Can you tell us how you manage your time?"
It wasn’t just the audience; a lot of reporters surged forward as well.
Luckily, there were many security guards outside, who formed a human wall to keep these people at bay.
"Sorry, I have something at home and need to leave first."
After saying this, Song Yun slipped away—too scary!
If so many people crowded around him, even if he were incredibly capable, he wouldn’t be able to resist!

It’s not like he could beat someone up just because they wanted to get close and ask a couple of questions and have them end up in the hospital!
He ran to the parking lot and had just started his car when he saw a bodyguard blocking his way.
"Beep beep beep!"
Song Yun honked a few times.
The bodyguard still did as he pleased, tapping on the hood to signal Song Yun to get out of the car.
"What can I do for you?" asked Song Yun as he rolled down the window.
"Mr. Song, my master requests your presence," said the bodyguard with a cold face. "I hope Mr. Song will seize this opportunity, otherwise, even if I have to tie you up, I’ll need to take you back!"
What the fuck???
Damn it, why do you sound so cocky when you speak!
Song Yun didn’t believe it. Broad daylight, a clear sky, did you really have the guts?
"Not going!"
"Then don’t blame me!"
The bodyguard lay down directly in front of the hood and defiantly shouted, "If Mr. Song wants to leave, he’ll have to drive over me!"
"???"
Damn it!
You bastard. One second you sound all tough, like you’re the Terminator, and the next second you’re scamming like a street hustler!
Do I usually have such a good temper that people think I’m so easy to push around?
"Get out of the way!"
Song Yun impatiently slapped the steering wheel and yelled, "I don’t care who you work for, get out of my way now, or don’t blame me for taking this higher up!"
"That’s your prerogative! My task is to take you there!"
The bodyguard stubbornly shouted back, "And what are you afraid of?"
"Afraid?"
Song Yun laughed in response, "I just can’t be bothered with your issues! Since you came specifically for me, it must have something to do with my abilities, right? If it were a normal request, I’m sure your boss wouldn’t have sent someone like you to fetch me. Let me guess, does your family have a grudge against the Bai Family?"
"..."
Seeing the bodyguard’s silence, Song Yun knew his identity.
Sigh, they’re all tough nuts to crack!
They didn’t dare go to the Bai Family and ask the old man directly, so they come to squeeze me, the soft persimmon!
"Please, Mr. Song, don’t make this difficult for me!"
