Chapter 297 Calculating Every Step
Two white dragons hovered in the sky, emanating a suppressed power that made people feel extremely dangerous.
On the other hand, Qi Ling's face also became extremely stiff. He was startled when Ye Ru's smile appeared on his face, and then his gaze suddenly turned away.
There, two black dragon chess formations gradually took shape.
“I have three…”
As the faint laughter subsided, Ye Ru held a black piece in his hand and slammed it down. In an instant, two dragon roars suddenly spread outwards from there, transforming into two soaring dragons that appeared directly opposite the chess spirit.
"This is... he actually managed to revive three large dragons... No wonder Ye Ru wasn't panicked at all; it turns out he was confident. Ye Ru has three dragons, while that chess spirit only has two. No matter what, he can't possibly beat Ye Ru."
Chen Tianjian looked at the rapidly changing battle situation, a smile appearing on his lips, and then slowly said.
"Well, this time it's Chess Spirit's turn to go first. If he can awaken that other mountain and river, he might be able to beat Ye Ru. But Chess Spirit is still two moves short. I think Ye Ru will definitely not let him succeed."
Zhao Mingcheng stroked his beard, looking thoughtfully at the game. The longer the two played, the more he could feel the subtlety of the game. If Ye Ru hadn't reminded him, he would never have discovered the second and third large groups of stones.
"Master Hikaru, you're probably going to lose."
Ye Ru smiled slightly and said.
"Let's see. Even if we lose, we have to finish the game. Subduing the enemy without fighting isn't very appealing in the world of chess."
The chess spirit shook his head, held a white piece, and gently placed it upwards.
As the white pieces were placed, the number of black pieces in the area where Ye Ru was located decreased significantly.
"Then the student will not stand on ceremony."
Ye Ru took a deep breath and then placed a piece. Instantly, the three black dragons roared three times and slammed towards the two white dragons where the chess spirit was located.
Wherever the black dragon passed, the sound of air exploding echoed, as if it were real.
boom!
The white dragon, carrying an overwhelming momentum, crashed towards the other white dragon like two meteorites.
Under their watchful eyes, the black dragon and the white dragon suddenly collided, and a burst of energy erupted in all directions.
"Who's winning?"
Chen Tianjian rubbed his eyes, looking at the unusually unsettling energy, and said.
"I don't know. I probably won't win this time either. Don't forget, at the beginning, Black was at a disadvantage. Although Ye Ru managed to win one game, overall, White still has the advantage."
Zhao Mingcheng said in a deep voice, "It is clear that although Ye Ru is in a precarious situation, he is still in a precarious one, like an egg in a collapsed nest."
"He's qualified enough for me to change the rules."
Mr. Xiu's brows relaxed, which relieved Chen Tianjian and Zhao Mingcheng. With the former's help, they no longer needed to worry about what would happen to Ye Ru after his defeat.
In the arena, the black dragon and the white dragon clashed, and the black dragon swallowed up all of the white dragon's dozen or so pieces, while the white dragon vanished into nothingness.
"Hikaru no Go, look..."
Ye Ru wanted to resolve the game as soon as possible, but there were still more than two hundred pieces involved.
"You did well."
At this moment, an old man with a full head of red hair appeared behind Ye Ru, and an old man also appeared opposite him.
The two old men behind Ye Ru were dressed in red robes, with red beards and red hair, and exuded an extremely intense aura.
"This is?"
Chen Tianjian's eyes widened.
"This chessboard should belong to these two old men, and they might be semi-saints from some era..."
Zhao Mingcheng's gaze was somewhat solemn as he said, "With these two appearing, perhaps this battle of chess will come to an end."
"And you two gentlemen are..."
Ye Ru looked at the old man behind him and asked in confusion.
"Zhurong..."
The old man named Zhurong smiled slightly and said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru swallowed hard, then said in disbelief:
"Is it... Zhu Rong, the god of fire?"
Although he spoke of it aloud, he was secretly guessing the identity of the other old man:
"If this old man is Zhurong, the god of fire, then the other one must be Gonggong, the god of water?"
"You do have some knowledge, much better than those scholars who faint at the sight of me."
As expected, after stroking his beard and finishing his speech, Zhu Rong turned to the old man in blue and said, "Gonggong, we've been playing this game of chess for a hundred years, and neither of us can win. Why don't you take the chess spirit as your main character, and I'll take this young man as mine, and we play another game?"
"I couldn't ask for more, but if the Chess Spirit agrees, which young man agrees?"
Gonggong said with great interest.
"Mr. Zhu, this..."
"Stop talking nonsense and do me this favor. This chessboard is a chessboard with the power to connect with the heavens and the earth. And this piece of chess is called 'One Step, Three Calculations.' If I win, I will give you 'One Step, Three Calculations,' and I will also give you my natal fire seed, so that you can become a descendant of my fire god Zhurong."
The fire god Zhurong waved his hand and said with an impatient expression.
Ye Ru gave a wry smile. He wasn't worried about that, but rather whether Zhu Rong would use his body to possess someone else's.
"Don't worry, I only want to win this game. Relax, I only need to control your body, not your soul."
Zhu Rong said in a deep voice, as if he knew what Ye Ru was thinking.
"Then please, sir."
Ye Ru sighed, and then said.
“Old man Gonggong, let’s begin.”
Zhu Rong directed Ye Ru to begin placing his pieces, while Chen Tianjian and the other two outside were stunned by this turn of events.
They never expected things to turn out this way; first the Chess Spirit, then the Water God and the Fire God both appeared.
"These two are the gods of fire and water? Aren't they just legends that appear in the strange book 'Classic of Mountains and Seas'...?"
Chen Tianjian's face showed shock as he spoke.
"Yes... I didn't expect it to actually exist. Perhaps what's recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas isn't all fake..."
Zhao Mingcheng swallowed hard, suddenly feeling a bit scared. If the strange people and beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were real, then where did they all go? Why are there only four major races now: demons, monsters, humans, and dragons?
"It really was a move calculated three times over. It seems I guessed right. I just never expected that such an opportunity would fall into the hands of such a young man. It's fate."
Mr. Xiu gave a wry smile. He had painstakingly studied this chess manual for so many years, but not only had he not discovered any special features, he had also wasted a lot of time.
As everyone waited, the God of Fire and the God of Water continued their game, gradually filling the chessboard with pieces. Each move the two gods made took a great deal of time to consider, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed...
