Chapter 29: The Universe in Chess

  Five days later at noon:

  On the steep cliff on the west side of Pán Tiān Fēng, a figure was suspended above it. The scorching sunlight shone down on the young man's body, his clothes had long been tattered and worn out. His face was slightly pale, and he didn't know how many times his whole body had been drenched in sweat.

  "Haha, it's just that layer of cloud and mist, once you climb over it, you'll definitely be at the summit!"

  Chu Yan felt a thrill in his heart as he gazed at the clouds that were within arm's reach, and his heart was filled with great joy.

  "Oh oh oh~"

  The big black chicken flapped its black wings and spun around its spherical body, excitedly chirping in Chu Yan's ear.

  "I say, Black Girl, why are you yelling day and night? You... that's a second-tier top-grade demon insect, Sword Head Centipede! Ah, you're such a prodigal child!"

  Chu Yan looked at the big black chicken mouth with a long, sword-like head in the centipede's mouth and his heart bled again.

  Looking at this chicken is infuriating, Chu Yan swung his already sore arm again and climbed upwards.

  "Haha, finally broke through the clouds... what... whoa!"

  Finally passing through the clouds, Chu Yan thought he had already reached the summit, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but curse.

  Looking up again, the peak is still invisible, and the rock has a sense of collapse.

  The big black chicken flew away with its head held high, flapping its black wings effortlessly upwards, looking at its complacent appearance, Chu Yan cursed in his heart: "One day when I'm in a good mood, I'll eat roasted chicken!"

  The top of Pan Tian Peak.

  Under the ancient tree, half of the chess game has passed.

  Yan Tian Long descended and laughed loudly: "Eldest Master Brother, your great momentum has already passed, today I will surely take this round!"

  The handsome young man's face was slightly smiling, and he said faintly: "Junior brother, your chess moves were too aggressive at the beginning, now it seems like you have the upper hand, but actually you've already run out of steam. People are like chess, and chess is also a reflection of people!"

  Yan Tian Long pondered slightly and said: "Senior brother, are you saying that Chu Yan's strength is now insufficient? Where should he be now?"

  "But it's true, this child has overestimated his abilities in the previous stage and has exhausted his physical and mental strength. Now he is still a million miles away from the clouds."

  The handsome young man smiled and said that because of the previous matter, he had lost face, but after analyzing it later, he made a guess today to regain his face in front of his younger brother.

  "So that's how it is, brother has keen insight..."

  It made sense to Long Hua as he listened to Tian Yan's words, and he nodded in agreement. Just then:

  "Report, Master Uncle, Chu Yan he..."

  "This time you don't need to say it, Master Palm has already calculated that the little guy is still a thousand miles away from the cloud layer!"

  Yan Tian Long cut off the newcomer's words, his voice leaving no room for doubt.

  The handsome young man didn't say a word this time, but instead gave a confident and faint smile.

  That disciple's face was extremely strange:

  "Reporting to Master Shifu, Chorh-Gon has passed through the clouds!"

  "What?"

  "Chuyan has passed through the clouds!"

  “……”

  Shuǐ Tiān Yǔ's arm, holding the folding fan, froze in mid-air, a smile on his face suddenly solidified. He felt a burning sensation and couldn't help but blurt out a curse: "Damn it!" He slapped himself in the mouth again!

  Seven days later at dusk:

  Under the sunset, a figure stood on the precipice, his clothes were tattered and worn out, with scratches all over, his hair was disheveled, and his face had a layer of fine white frost, which was the dried sweat salt left behind.

  A strong glint in the eyes of the youth, pale and dry lips tightly pursed.

  "Oh oh oh~"

  A large black chicken flew back and forth beside Chu Yan, with a six-legged green frog the size of a palm in its beak, chirping excitedly.

  Third-Order Low-Level Demon Beast: Six-Legged Wood Frog

  "Good-for-nothing son! Good-for-nothing son!"

  Chu Yan silently cursed a few more sentences in his heart, but these days he had seen such things many times and was almost numb to them. Looking at the even rounder belly of the big black chicken, Chu Yan secretly planned that when he returned, he would definitely catch some more laborers and make this guy catch a few more demon beasts.

  "Hey girl, can you calm down a bit? You're not tired at all?"

  The big black chicken proudly nodded its head. Chu Yan burst into a loud scolding: "You dead guy, go back and I'll turn you into roasted chicken!"

  The big black chicken paid no attention to it, spread its wings and flew upwards again, looking for the next target.

  Chu Yan let out a cold snort, raised his head and looked over, his face revealing a hint of manic joy.

  "That's the summit, absolutely no mistake! Haha!"

  ……

  The top of Pan Tian Peak.

  The twilight is yellow and dim, the last ray of sunset is about to disappear between heaven and earth.

  Under the ancient tree, this game of chess has reached its final stage.

  Yan Tian Long's face was twisted in distress, this child really didn't know where to put it for the best! In the end, he gritted his teeth and threw it in one direction.

  "Junior brother, you lose!"

  A faint word from the heavenly king, a single move has already decided the fate of the world.

  "The master's chess skills far surpass those of his younger brother!"

  Yan Tian Long said with some regret, "I had a good situation but lost it, and I'm not quite willing to accept it. Suddenly, his eyes turned, and he said: 'Brother, how much longer will it take for this child to reach the peak?'"

  Looking at Yan Tianlong's sly smile, Shui Tianyu knew that he had misjudged the guy earlier and was now ridiculing himself.

  "Tomorrow, at noon it will be ready!"

  "What? Brother Shifu, you're not joking, are you? Is this kid even more talented than Tong Ming?"

  Yintian Long's face was incredulous after hearing Shuǐ Tiān Yǔ's words.

  Wishing all mothers in the world a happy Mother's Day!
