advancing formation halted as if gripped by an invisible hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The countless threads of light she had woven trembled...then began to unravel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What?\" Her smile faded for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Shentian blinked and Elder Mo’s jaw went slack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single, simple move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it sat at the exact center of the board, cutting through every pathway, severing every connection, turning the entire chaotic battlefield into a dead, silent zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Mountain Crasher finally set his teacup down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your formations are clever,\" he said calmly. \"But you mistake complexity for control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lightly tapped the

defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long moment, no one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Mo’s roar finally tore through the night as he flipped the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirt board spun into the air, its formation lights flickering wildly before dimming out completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This chess set must’ve been tampered with!\" he fumed, face flushed red with humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no way a muscle-headed brute like you keeps winning so overwhelmingly three time in a row!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Shentian coughed awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...He does have a point.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Lu crossed her arms beneath her ample chest, eyes

Elder Mountain Crasher, who remained seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Elder Mountain Crasher stood up and struck a dramatic pose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His naked upper body full of bulging powerful muscle shine under the moon light as he turned sideways, one arm raised, the other flexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who says we’re just muscle brutes?\" he scoffed as his chest expanded and his biceps bulged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You don’t understand,\" he continued, voice suddenly filled with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My muscles... are not ordinary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flexed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>POP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vein throbbed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They think,\" he declared \"...they observe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another flex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...they adapt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Mo stared at him, face still red from rage... but now slowly turning into something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You’ve gone insane.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"INSANE?!\" Elder Mountain Crasher barked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly stomped forward—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>THUD!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the deck trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My left pectoral alone can calculate three moves ahead!\" he shouted, slapping his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SMACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My right arm specializes in defense formations!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flexed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...while my back muscles—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around abruptly and twisted his torso in an unnecessarily dramatic fashion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"—handle

dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing is just for decoration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he hooked a thumb over his shoulder proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"THE REAL GENIUS IS BACK HERE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"\"THAT’S BULLSHIT!!!\"\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three elders shouted at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a short distance away on another deck,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Lianhua watched the chaotic group of elders quarreling with bright, curious eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Seems like they’re having
