Monk?_2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defiant, the Carefree Monk was certainly not willing to concede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to defeat Luo Changfeng in the realm of Go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to grind Luo Changfeng under his feet with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to show Luo Changfeng what true skill in Go really meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, wanting that was one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reality was that he was consistently on the losing end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, having the chance to continue sparring with Luo Changfeng over a few rounds of Go,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>such an opportunity was not something the Carefree Monk could easily let slip by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, I’ll take the black stones, and you take the white.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see, who will come out the ultimate winner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, don’t even consider taking it easy on me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During this time, my skill in Go has improved greatly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’re distracted by other thoughts when facing me,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“you might just end up losing to me, the Carefree Monk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want you to come up with all sorts of messy excuses when that happens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, from this moment on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Play seriously, take it seriously, consider me your lifelong rival.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he opened the Go box,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Carefree Monk naturally threw out a tough boast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Luo Changfeng had already grown accustomed to such behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen this several times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time, when the Carefree Monk faced him in a game of Go, he would always have such an outburst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng wondered if that served any purpose at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could speaking harshly suddenly improve one’s Go skills?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured, I will certainly play properly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just hope you don’t lose too quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Luo Changfeng’s words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Go match began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To many, the Go board seems only so large,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the stones appear to be just a fixed number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of these seem so effortless and simple at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, it is not quite so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many say that Go is like life itself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and they are not wrong in saying so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Go, every single move has countless variations,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>requiring deep thought before each step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one step is amiss,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it could very likely lead to an utter collapse of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Go, life is likewise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slips by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a blink, some ten minutes have passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the first two or three minutes when the opponents were laying out their strategies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>smiles would occasionally appear on the Carefree Monk’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to be lost in fantasy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>imagining what he would say after defeating Luo Changfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he tease with something like, “Little Luo, you’re not up to par,” or something of the sort?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or should he comfort Luo Changfeng with kind words?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it’s always been Luo Changfeng who has won at Go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing Luo Changfeng for so long, the Carefree Monk hadn’t just failed to win, he had never even been in a winning position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, if he were to win this time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng would certainly be somewhat disheartened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, it wouldn’t be out of the question for him to offer comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as time ticked away,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and as the match approached four or five minutes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the usual smile on the Carefree Monk’s face gradually disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tinge of worry slowly crawled across his visage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game seemed to be getting tenser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the monk, who was originally laying out his moves leisurely, gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the clock reached seven or eight minutes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the anxiety on the Carefree Monk’s face had gradually morphed into anxiousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time moved on to the present,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the anxiety on the Carefree Monk’s face became very intense, even visibly obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This game, what should we say about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shall we continue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Luo Changfeng placed another critically important white stone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he looked up and smiled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the Carefree Monk in front of him, he said quietly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, aside from a somewhat helpless sigh, the Carefree Monk seemed at a loss for what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes, it had been only ten minutes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the two had already finished a game of Go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result of the match, naturally, ended in a crushing defeat for the Carefree Monk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go again, I refuse to believe this,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was a bit careless in the last game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, I will bring out all my strength,” he declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, the Carefree Monk began to clean up the pieces on the board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed by,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>twenty minutes into their second match,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the game of Go once again came to an end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you say about this game?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng watched the Carefree Monk with a smirk, curious to see what excuses he could come up with this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was inattentive,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, I was playing carelessly,” he admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although, I did bring out all my strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But still, I missed that one critical move.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Continue, the third game, I shall undoubtedly be the final winner,” he claimed stubbornly while shaking the ragged fan in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A critical move, you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng raised an eyebrow and then sighed, “Alright, we’ll say you just missed one move.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the third match between Luo Changfeng and the Carefree Monk commenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this third game differed from the second,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as the time it took did not increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it was even quicker than the second game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approximately, just fifteen minutes had passed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and the third game of Go was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about this game, how will you put it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the small courtyard, beneath the Stone Pavilion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng looked at the Carefree Monk with great interest and quietly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This round, this round…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his mouth, the Carefree Monk seemed unable to come up with any excuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh well…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After shaking his head, the Carefree Monk gradually came to terms with the gap between himself and Luo Changfeng: “Now, in the game of Go, your skills are indeed much greater than mine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Carefree Monk silently shook his ragged fan and spoke in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, he started to pick up the black and white pieces from the stone table by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Go, the loser cleans up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Carefree Monk was indeed playing by the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, were he not so obedient,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng wouldn’t have played so many games with the Carefree Monk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, shall we continue?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng leisurely picked up the freshly poured cup of tea from the stone table,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>bringing it to his lips and taking a small sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moistening his throat, he then quietly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the Carefree Monk did not insist on arguing further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply shook his head,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>appearing quite resigned as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three games are enough,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if we continue playing, the outcome will still be a loss, what’s the point?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng silently nodded his head,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>seemingly in agreement with the Carefree Monk’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after finishing with the pieces, the Carefree Monk looked at Luo Changfeng once more: “I just remembered, there’s something I might need your help with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On hearing this, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but be slightly startled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then he revealed a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was caught off guard, too late to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that the Carefree Monk would switch tactics,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>from initially making his request right from the start to now bringing up his true intention at the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Changfeng sighed and said, “Let’s hear it then, what is it this time that you want my help with?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Carefree Monk smirked in a slightly sleazy manner, then spoke in a low voice: “A Formation Disk, I need a more advanced one that can hold at least a hundred formations, the more the better.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1324,"2026-06-03T12:44:24.419Z","2026-06-03T12:44:24.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","7899ff3b1f85d2039e9324c02b63b2fa9947c31c885b96d0fa34dbc80dad81f3","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-549","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-547",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
