Invincible Martial King

"Besides, I've never heard of this method before. What kind of chess is this?" The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask as he recalled the undulating chessboard from before.    

"It can't be considered a chess game, it's just a small trick to make a move forward." Lu Chen smiled and continued, "If it wasn't for senior not putting in the effort, I might not have had a chance in this game."    

"Speaking of which, it was junior who took the trick."    

"You're pretty modest." Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed. He looked at Lu Chen with a satisfied expression. Although this brat was quite polite and humble to win, he could still be considered a good disciple.    

"Fourth Uncle, you really lost?" Only then did Gu Yiyi react. She widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief. Her playing skills were not just for show, but Lu Chen actually beat him?    

"We've really lost the first round." The middle-aged man nodded and said to Lu Chen, "Come on, let's play a few more rounds."    

"This time, I won't hold back."    

"Then please advise me, Senior."    

Time flew by, four to four hours passed in the blink of an eye.    

The middle-aged man held the white chess piece in his hands, hesitating. In the past, he was always so relaxed and straightforward when playing chess, but now he had to think twice every time he played chess. Even Gu Yiyi, who was watching the fight from the side, was getting impatient.    

Lu Chen, on the other hand, was not the least bit anxious. Whoever suddenly lost three rounds in a row would become cautious.    

"Da!"    

As the chess piece landed, Lu Chen glanced at the board and could not help but ask: "Are you sure about this?"    

"Is there a problem?" Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned as he took a closer look. He admitted that he had no problems, so he said with relief, "I'll come down."    

"Then, I won't be courteous." Lu Chen laughed, and then the black object fell down again, and in that moment the situation changed, the stalemate was instantly broken, and Bai Zi's array was destroyed.    

"Eh …."    

The corner of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched as he felt a sense of powerless despair!    

"Puchi."    

Upon seeing this, Gu Yiyi couldn't help but laugh out loud. She was originally very good-looking, but when she laughed, it was as if a hundred flowers bloomed, causing the room to become extremely bright.    

"Fourth Uncle, you lost again."    

Blue veins popped out on the middle-aged man's forehead as he heard Gu Yiyi's voice. He said unhurriedly, "You brat, you're really a monster. How could you defeat me four times in a row?"    

"I'm not playing anymore."    

"If we keep playing, I'm afraid we'll lose."    

"Thank you, senior."    

Lu Chen smiled. It wasn't that the middle-aged man's chess skills weren't good; on the contrary, the former was very good. However, his chess skills were developed during his battle with the Devil's successor.    

"It's useless even if you don't want to. Boy, you're simply a freak." The middle-aged man said snappily.    

"Thank you for your praise, senior."    

"You …"    

The middle-aged man smirked. He felt like beating Lu Chen up a little, but he wasn't someone who couldn't afford to lose. He waved his hand and said, "You are awesome. Let's fight again in the future."    

"I'm a bit tired today, let Yi Yi see the guests out."    

"Elder..."    

Lu Chen was speechless. Didn't I just win a few rounds from you? Was this really necessary?    

Seeing how flustered and exasperated Fourth Uncle was, Gu Yiyi covered her mouth and snickered. However, she still whispered to Lu Chen, "It's getting late. You should go back to the academy."    

"That's true."    

"Then I won't disturb you any further." Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded with a smile and prepared to leave.    

"That kid, when you have time next time, come over and play chess with me."    

Behind him, came the sound of a middle-aged man's dry cough. Lu Chen smiled and replied, "Next time, when you have time, come over and spar with me again."    

"You just didn't know how to let me, Fourth Uncle, win."    

Outside the door, Gu Yiyi stared at Lu Chen and asked curiously, "But then again, why are your chess skills so great?"    

"I was instructed by a master chess player, so I know a bit about chess." Lu Chen casually found an excuse and made it up.    

"So that's how it is."    

Gu Yiyi nodded and did not doubt Lu Chen's words. Fourth Uncle's chess skills were obvious to all, but even so, he still lost to Lu Chen several times in a row. If no one taught Lu Chen his chess skills, she would not believe it.    

"Going out of the valley is our Dagan Academic Palace. It's about time for you to go back." Gu Yiyi's white jade-like hands pointed towards the nearby exit as she reminded him.    

"Alright, then I'll be leaving first." Lu Chen nodded and prepared to leave.    

"About that …"    

"If you're free, come and play chess with me, Fourth Uncle." Gu Yiyi stammered.    

"No problem."    

"In addition, thank you for today's matter. I, Lu Chen, will not hesitate to go through fire and water if I need anything in the future." Lu Chen said seriously while looking at Gu Yiyi.    

"I already said it, it's just to repay the favor you helped me with last time." Gu Yiyi harrumphed and said. Besides, who wants you to go through fire and water?    

"After what happened last time, you already repaid me with that Rank 6 Demonic Beast Core. This time, I still owe you a favor."    

Lu Chen smiled and then turned into a rainbow light and disappeared into the horizon.    

"He's gone?"    

After Lu Chen left, another figure appeared beside Gu Yiyi. It was the middle-aged man.    

"Yes." Gu Yiyi retracted her gaze and nodded.    

"He's quite an interesting boy, but you have to remember that it's best to keep some distance from him." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still reminded him in a low voice.    

"Why?" Gu Yiyi frowned and asked in puzzlement.    

"Because even I can't see through him. He's not simple at all."    

"That chess skill seems to show signs of combining martial arts. This kid has an astonishing secret on him, and I can feel an unusual aura from him." The middle-aged man's gaze was profound, and his voice was filled with a hint of solemnity.    

"But …"    

"No buts, you have to know your identity. Plus, you have to go back to your home and not be in the same world as this brat. Just be an ordinary friend."    

Before Gu Yiyi could say anything, the middle-aged man shook his head and interrupted her.    

"Fourth Uncle, I know." Gu Yiyi pursed her lips, a trace of disappointment flashing across her eyes.    

Lu Chen did not know that after he left, the conversation between Gu Yiyi and the middle-aged man, had directly returned to the Dagan Academic Palace after he left the valley.    

Although Gu Yiyi had helped him today, Yuwen Family and the Qing Clan had sent out their King Stage Expert s to deal with him. This made Lu Chen feel a suffocating pressure, so he couldn't wait to increase his own strength.    

It was a good thing that he had collected all the materials needed to refine the Energetic Super Body Pill, so he had to make the most of his time to refine pills and increase his strength as soon as possible.    

Only strength was the strongest confidence. Even if he could defeat a half-step King, he wouldn't be able to fight back against the true King.    

Facing the powerlessness of a real King Stage Expert, Lu Chen realized more and more that whether it was the Dagan Academic Palace or that imperial city, it was unknown just how many terrifying Senior Expert there were. If he wanted to truly protect himself, he had to increase his strength as fast as possible.
