Chapter 461: Heaven-Defying Chess Gu

A fierce battle had just taken place here. Long Xuan was afraid of attracting someone, so he didn't stay, cleaned up the spoils of war left on the battlefield, and left quickly.

Hua An's storage ring was clearly of a high level and was not blown to pieces. It went without saying what Hua An's family background was. Long Xuan found many good things inside, which could be considered making a small fortune again.

Half a month later, within the Xuanyuan Empire, a huge city appeared in Long Xuan's line of sight.

He took out the map and looked at it, muttering: "Is this the famous Saint Gu City?"

"The Saint Gu Academy is located in Saint Gu City. After a month of rushing, I have finally arrived."

Long Xuan revealed a slight smile. Just as he was about to enter the city, he saw an old man with white hair and a beard suddenly appear in front of him, looking kind and benevolent.

The old man first looked at Zhu Jiuge on his back, then looked at him, sized him up a few times, and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Little friend, I am her master. Hand her over to me! Thank you for your care along the way." The old man stroked his beard and smiled.

Seeing that Zhu Jiuge on his back had no reaction, Long Xuan carried her to the old man.

Although Zhu Jiuge could not move, her consciousness was still there, and she could hear what people outside were saying.

Since she had no obvious reaction, then presumably this old man was indeed her master.

"Senior, I wonder if there is any possibility for Zhu Jiuge's injuries to be completely healed!" Long Xuan said after handing Zhu Jiuge to the old man.

"No problem. As long as the divine might left by the divine artifact in her body is eliminated, there are a hundred ways to heal her injuries."

The old man stuffed a pill into Zhu Jiuge's small mouth, handed her to a beautiful woman behind him, and stopped caring.

Long Xuan couldn't help but be stunned. Such thorny injuries were so simple? Just feed her a pill?

"This old man's surname is Qi, named Qi Luo You. I like playing chess most in my life. This old man sees that you are pleasing to the eye. Would you like to play a game of chess with me?"

As the old man spoke, before Long Xuan agreed, he waved his sleeve, and a stone table and a pair of stone chairs appeared between the two. A chessboard was carved on the stone table, and a box for chess pieces also appeared in the center of the stone table.

Seeing this scene, how could Long Xuan not understand? His opinion didn't matter at all. No matter what, he had to play this game of chess today; he couldn't refuse.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Where did this strange old man come from? How could he force others to play chess with him?

Qi Luo You? This name sounded familiar. Long Xuan's heart suddenly moved.

Although he was ill-informed, he had heard of the batch of top-tier powerhouses with the greatest fame in Central Earth.

This Qi Luo You was famous throughout the Gu World. Looking at the entire Western Region, his combat power was enough to rank in the top ten.

Qi Luo You had a very heaven-defying Gu worm. This Gu worm was called the Chess Gu, and its material count exceeded ten million.

The Chess Gu was a mother-and-son Gu. The son Gu looked exactly like chess pieces. Black pieces were male, and white pieces were female.

People who possessed the Chess Gu liked to use the Chess Gu to play against geniuses from all sides most. As long as they won a game against a genius, that genius's fate could be bound to one of the chess pieces.

The higher the future achievements of this genius, the stronger that son Chess Gu would be.

But this ability was only effective on the weak and ineffective on the strong, and the number of chess pieces was limited. Once a chess piece bound someone's fate, it could never be changed in a lifetime.

This meant that people who possessed the Chess Gu could not find peak Gu Kings to play chess to take shortcuts; they could only search the world for geniuses who had not yet grown up and share their fate through playing chess.

This tested the ability of the Chess Gu possessor to judge people. He had to have a discerning eye to discover geniuses who could become talented in the future in the vast sea of people. Otherwise, once this genius could not become a peak Gu King in the future, or especially liked to court death leading to an early death, then one of the son Chess Gu would be completely wasted.

Therefore, the strength of the Chess Gu was completely related to the host's ability to judge people. If all the chess pieces were bound to the fate of a monster genius, and all the monsters grew up, then the Chess Gu possessor would be invincible in the world.

If most of the people playing chess with the Chess Gu possessor were mediocre, then the Chess Gu would be pitifully weak, weak to the point of having no lower limit.

In this world, no one dared to pat their chest and guarantee that someone could definitely become a powerhouse, let alone guarantee that a genius would not die early.

The chess pieces were limited. Qi Luo You dared not gamble other people's fate with limited quotas, so he mixed into the Saint Gu Academy, became a mentor, and accepted disciples widely.

Rather than searching the world for geniuses he didn't understand, it was clearly more reliable to teach geniuses he had cultivated himself.

He chose geniuses first by character, then by talent. He didn't want any who liked to court death. Slowly, he recruited a batch of geniuses who brought the word "cautious" to the extreme. Under his personal teaching, every disciple around him was especially cautious.

This group of geniuses had a high survival rate, plus he threw resources at them regardless of the consequences. This batch of geniuses eventually grew up without accident.

It was said that 108 of the disciples he accepted had become Gu Kings. After becoming famous, they were scattered all over the world, and each person's combat power was not to be underestimated.

Under such circumstances, how strong the combat power of Qi Luo You's Chess Gu was could be imagined.

Not to mention his other Gu worms, the Chess Gu alone had at least 108 son Chess Gu that were already top-grade Gu worms with powerful combat power.

Even if others were geniuses, having ten or so top-grade Gu worms was the limit. And this person carried 108 top-grade Gu worms with a single Chess Gu. Who could beat him?

With so many top-grade Gu worms, Qi Luo You was invincible. With a pile of top-grade Gu worms in hand, he easily ranked among the top ten powerhouses in the Western Region, and his limelight was unmatched for a time.

And Qi Luo You's recently accepted disciple was Zhu Jiuge. With the Misfortune Gu, Zhu Jiuge found it difficult to die even if she wanted to, and she would definitely become a genius in the future. By accepting this disciple, Qi Luo You was guaranteed to get another top-grade Gu worm chess piece.

At this moment, Long Xuan had to sigh. This Qi Luo You's judgment of people was truly accurate. How could he see at a glance that he would definitely be able to become talented in the future and insist on pulling him to play chess? This vision was truly vicious. No wonder he could create so many top-grade son Chess Gu.

This Chess Gu could be considered to have met a wise master. In his hands, the Chess Gu would have infinite possibilities in the future.

At this moment, hearing Qi Luo You's words, the beautiful woman behind him was shocked. Qi Luo You only placed bets on his own disciples and rarely played chess with outsiders.

The chess pieces were limited. Qi Luo You was reluctant to waste even one. Therefore, every time he found an outsider genius to play chess, he only made a move when he had full confidence. What kind of ability did this boy have to make Qi Luo You think so highly of his future?

"Master! We have plenty of time. For the sake of safety, should we examine him for a period of time? Although he is already at the late Spirit Sea Stage at a young age and has extraordinary talent, what if he especially likes to court death?"

The woman frowned slightly and immediately transmitted her voice with her soul.

Qi Luo You shook his head and replied with a smile through soul transmission: "No need. What kind of monster is someone who can easily kill Hua An? Looking at the entire Gu World, not many geniuses can compare with him."

"And a genius who is a monster to this extent, who clearly could be famous throughout the Gu World, I have never heard of his rumors. This boy is like appearing out of thin air, and there is not a trace of him in the world."

"This can only explain one thing, and that is that he is especially low-key, views fame and wealth as dirt, and is as steady as an old dog."

"Geniuses who can be as cautious as him are truly rare, and their survival rate must be extremely high."

"I am very optimistic about his future! This top-grade chess piece is guaranteed to be obtained. Perhaps he can become the brightest chess piece on my chessboard!"

Qi Luo You's mouth curled up, and he said very confidently. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 462 =====
