C852 Chess
In his previous life, he was a Martial Emperor Expert and had some knowledge of the art of chess. That was because in the Tianwu Continent, there was a terrifying expert who had mixed martial skills with the art of chess, using the world as a chess board, and had set up an array to kill countless experts.
When Lu Chen had just become a Martial Emperor in his previous life, he had met a disciple who came to challenge him.
"Are you sure you know something?" The middle-aged man was just speaking casually, but he didn't expect Lu Chen to be adept at chess. He couldn't help but size up the former again.
"I dare not lie to senior." Lu Chen nodded and said.
"That's good."
His board had been placed here for many years, and the art of chess was a path that belonged to a small crowd. Looking at the entire Dagan Academic Palace, perhaps there were many people who knew how to play, but to say that they understood chess a little, that was extremely rare, but Lu Chen's words did not seem to be fake, causing the middle-aged man to feel a surge of anticipation.
"Fourth Uncle."
Gu Yiyi raised her delicate eyebrows. This Fourth Uncle was obsessed with chess, and his chess skills were at an unspeakable level. How could Lu Chen be his opponent?
"Don't worry. I will show mercy to your friend and just pass the time to each other." The middle-aged man understood and said with a smile.
"You have to be careful."
"I, Fourth Uncle, am not a simple chess player." Gu Yiyi leaned forward and warned Lu Chen softly.
"Understood."
Lu Chen nodded, but he didn't think much of it. Was this Gu Yiyi's elder's chess skills even close to the chess game he had encountered in his previous life? That was a combination of martial dao and supreme chess.
Moments later, the two of them sat cross-legged at the chess table while Gu Yiyi obediently stood beside them.
"Little brother, you go first."
The middle-aged man gestured for Lu Chen to fall first. In his opinion, Lu Chen knew a bit about chess, so how could he compare to him? If Lu Chen was the first to take action, it would be a bit too much for Lu Chen.
"Since senior has relented, then I shall not be courteous anymore." Lu Chen smiled and then flicked his finger. Hei Zi landed steadily and attacked in an orderly fashion. There was nothing special about him.
Seeing that, the middle-aged man smiled, and Bai Zi followed closely behind.
The speed at which the two of them landed was not slow. Within a short period of time, the originally empty board had already revealed a black-and-white camp. On the surface, it looked calm, but in reality, it was surging.
"Little brother's chess is pretty good, but it's a pity that it's still lacking in quality." Sweeping his eyes across the chessboard, the middle-aged man laughed, and then the white light fell down again, as if it were ten thousand dragons looking at the eye, causing the originally tense scene to immediately change. The white light densely linked together into a great situation, and Hei Zi was in an incomparably dangerous situation, as if he was at the risk of being completely annihilated.
"Senior, your chess skills are superb. I am impressed, but at this moment, I might not lose." Lu Chen shook his head. Even though he was afraid that Hei Zi was going to be completely wiped out, he was still not worried at all. This was because there were strong and weak sides. The strong side might not win, but the weak side might not lose.
"Oh? I do want to see what kind of methods little brother has. " Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled. He did not take Lu Chen's words seriously. The current situation was very clear; no matter how Hei Zi struggled, he would lose before he had to take ten steps.
The young man was somewhat impulsive and refused to admit defeat.
Gu Yiyi's face was filled with confusion. Although she did not understand chess, under the influence of Fourth Uncle's shaggy eyes, she knew a little about chess. No matter how she looked at it, Lu Chen's game of chess was already defeated.
"It's my turn to fall."
Lu Chen smiled. Without any hesitation, he put down a black chess piece.
"This is …"
The middle-aged man's eyes turned cold when he saw the position the black game was in. It was not because the move was done in an exquisite manner, but because with the fall of this step, the already defeated black game on Lu Chen's side became even more fragmented. According to him, there was no need to take ten steps, only another five steps and the final outcome of the game would be decided.
"Little brother, this is not a good game, why don't you think about it?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Senior, thank you for your reminder. There is no need to think too much into this." Lu Chen shook his head and laughed.
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite." The middle-aged man sighed in his heart. The young man was still too impulsive. This wasn't the way to play chess.
As the middle-aged man, Bai Zi, descended once again, the originally defeated Hei Zi's side was quickly torn apart, unable to hold on any longer.
"It's about time."
Lu Chen took a deep breath and immediately put down a black piece. He didn't even have the slightest intention to think about it. His relaxed appearance seemed to be completely without any pattern.
"Little brother …"
Just as the middle-aged man was about to open his mouth to speak, he inadvertently glanced at the scene on the chess board and was suddenly speechless. Just as the middle-aged man was about to speak, he inadvertently glanced at the scene on the chess board and was suddenly speechless.
The middle-aged man frowned, and a trace of rare seriousness appeared on his face.
"It seems to be completely random, but in reality, it is constantly showing weakness. In the end, it will lure a strong enemy into a trap. What a good second of chess." After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man sighed in amazement. For someone like him, the very first thing he did was to come up with something related to this game.
"Whap."
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a bright light. After pondering for a moment, he put down Bai Zi. He did not intend to let Lu Chen's chess piece come to life.
Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly and Hei Zi immediately followed.
"Da Da …"
The two of them fell faster and faster, and in the end they directly turned into afterimages. The originally defeated Hei Zi looked like he had come back to life, not only did he not get destroyed, he even became more lively, suppressing Bai Zi so much that he retreated.
If Blackie hadn't shown weakness earlier, it might have been very difficult for him to create such a situation. Because he fell into the trap, even if Bai Zi had noticed ahead of time and retreated, he would have still paid a huge price.
The smile on the middle-aged man gradually disappeared. He felt a huge wave in his heart. He originally thought that Lu Chen's chess skills were ordinary, but now he knew that he had completely underestimated him.
As the chess piece continued to fall, Bai Zi's advantage disappeared, and he was even forced into a corner, in the next second he was in danger of being destroyed.
On the other hand, Lu Chen maintained his calm demeanor the whole time without any hesitation. It was as if he knew every step ahead of time.
On the chessboard, the two teams were engaged in a constant battle. Even the black-and-white chess pieces with their canines barreling in the air could be felt, giving off a terrifying aura as they faced each other.
"You win."
When the last black piece fell, the middle-aged man let go of the chess piece and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Who would have thought that he would lose to a junior today?
"Thank you, senior."
Lu Chen said humbly. His victory was not because of his amazing chess skills, but because the middle-aged man had underestimated his opponent. Otherwise, if he was a bit careful, he would not be able to lure the enemy into the game.
