Chapter Thirty-Five: Victory

  "Should I make the first move?" Kong Li asked tentatively. The black-faced young man's chess skills were really not worthy of praise. During the game, his moves were disorderly and lacked any discernible pattern, like a child who had just learned to play chess. Kong Li couldn't help but look down on him a bit.

  Zhū Zǐ nodded: "We should respect the elderly and love the young!"

  His shamelessness has reached a new level, and it's a kind of state that earns him contempt from the crowd.

  Kong let go of his hand and picked up a black chess piece, quickly placing it in the center of the chessboard. Zhu Ziming followed closely behind, placing his black chess piece next to Kong's white one. This continued back and forth, with Zhu responding to each of Kong's moves.

  This time, the moves that Kong had thought of in his heart turned out to be completely ineffective. It was all because this black-faced young master played chess too shamelessly. Every time his pieces were about to take effect, the opponent's pieces would always press over and occupy the space next to them, leaving no room for his own situation to unfold.

  The more he went down, the more frightening it became. It seemed that this little brother was learning to play chess in every step, and every step was seeing through his own next move. There were even big beads of sweat on Kong's forehead.

  Good kid, really clever! Kong Li praised, but his heart was even more excited, it's been a long time since he met such an interesting and skilled chess player.

  No longer dared to underestimate Zhu Ziming, Kong Li's eyebrows were slightly furrowed together, his mind was preoccupied with the chessboard and he didn't even raise his head to take a glance.

  I'm going to go, old man, can't you not be so troublesome? Exhausted from being on guard, Zhu Ziming felt more and more drained as he went along, but thinking of his own academy, he gritted his teeth!

  The two of them plunged into the chessboard, as if between heaven and earth only this chessboard remained, these two people obsessed with the game.

  Everyone's eyes were wide with amazement, watching them go back and forth, fighting a hard battle that was difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat. It was truly magnificent, and they couldn't bear to blink their eyes. But in their hearts, they were even more astonished - how did this kid suddenly become like a different person? His chess skills had improved so quickly!

  They didn't believe that Zhu Ziming's first loss was intentional, perhaps he really hadn't played chess for a long time and just wanted to get a feel for it. They didn't expect that when Zhu Ziming found his rhythm, he would be so formidable, able to rival the great Kong Shengren.

  Yan Yiming gazed quietly at the chessboard, sighing in his heart. Brother Zhu was indeed formidable. Just a moment ago, he had even started to worry, which was truly unnecessary. What in this world could stop him?

  What kind of person is this big brother, Kong sister sized up Zhu Ziming, she was born, still the first time to see someone who can make grandfather so serious about playing chess.

  After a fierce battle, Kong Li finally found Zhu Ziming's weakness and won with one move. Zhu Ziming lost again.

  "Whoa!" Zhu Ziming took a deep breath, this old man was really formidable, he had only revealed a small weakness, yet he had been caught by him, resulting in his complete collapse.

  "Also, I'd like to ask you, little brother, how did you come up with this wonderful move?"

  "This is called the 'pressing tactic', it was taught by my teacher."

  Kong Li smiled and nodded: "To think of such a clever move, your teacher must be a Go saint."

  Saint... was just a university professor, Zhu Ziming said discontentedly: "Come on!"

  Do you want to come again? Kong Li was stunned for a moment, this kid had some perseverance, nodded: "Good!"

  Everyone's interest has not yet been exhausted, and they are still staring at the chessboard with great enthusiasm. Such an excellent and intricate chessboard is really hard to come by, and it's necessary to study it carefully. People no longer dare to look down on Zhu Ziming, but instead have a few points of admiration for him.

  He is bold and daring, with extraordinary knowledge, truly a rare talent. If he were to be won over, the master (young master) would surely be delighted. I wonder which family's young nobleman he is.

  A new round has begun, and this time Zhu Ziming has changed his tactics. Every time Kong Li makes a move, Zhu Ziming will use two or even three pieces to entangle him, making it impossible for Kong Li to implement his strategy, and the situation is unbearable.

  After a fierce battle, Kong Li finally broke through the layers of siege and killed his way out, emerging victorious once again.

  It was an extraordinary game of chess, but this young man's methods were too shameless, and everyone secretly laughed at him, which made Mr. Kong miserable.

  "This is called entanglement tactics, come again!"

  .......

  "This is called pursuit and pressure tactics, come again!"

  .......

  One round after another, and each round took longer than the last. Kong Li glanced out of the window and saw that it was almost dawn... At this moment, Kong Li felt physically and mentally exhausted, his eyelids were about to droop, while his little granddaughter had already fallen asleep on the small table beside him.

  Although Zhu Ziming was also very tired, he was much stronger than Kong Li. Youth is capital!

  In the midst of his defeat, he realized that this young man learned chess faster than anyone else, and his skills grew gradually with each game, making it increasingly difficult for him to win, losing to him was only a matter of time.

  "This is called curing loneliness and stretching, come again!"

  .......

  Still want to play another game..... Kong Li wanted to cry but had no tears, if it continues like this, his old life will be lost soon. This kid's chess skills have improved so quickly, losing... is only a matter of time. He waved his hand: "No more, I admit defeat."

  Admit defeat? The crowd was stunned, this dark-faced young man had actually won. Although Mr. Kong had not lost on the chessboard, his heart had already conceded. This dark-faced young man was simply too formidable, his chess skills were getting higher and higher with each move. Even Confucius himself was just a mortal, how could he withstand such an attack like a raging storm?

  However, Kong Li was also giving himself an excuse.

  Did I win? Zhu Ziming was also stunned: "No way, Mr. Kong, I still have a move - Tian Nu San Hua hasn't been used yet!"

  And! Still what's Tian Nu scattering flowers! "I'm done for..." Kong Li heard these words, and suddenly fell onto the chessboard, fainting...

  It wasn't that he fainted, but rather his elderly body couldn't withstand such a late night and fell asleep from exhaustion.

  The heavenly maiden scattered flowers, and everyone sighed in unison. Seeing Kong Li asleep, they all left one by one. After all, they had already been eliminated, so there was no point in staying any longer.

  This third pass, with this black-faced young man's extraordinary mind, will not be a big problem, it's just a matter of time.

  Although it's an unfulfilled wish, I can still see this unparalleled chess game, which is also not a waste of this trip. Everyone has a clear conscience and some self-mockery, and they are actually so foolish to underestimate someone.

  "Swallow brother, I'll sleep first too......" Zhu Ziming also fell asleep on the table, occasionally snoring, really exhausted.
