Chapter 462: Self-Created Chess Gu

"Playing chess with Senior, I wonder what benefits I have." Long Xuan asked tentatively.

Since he couldn't hide no matter what, he decided to play this game of chess.

However, this old man wanted to pluck his wool, so how could he not ask for some benefits.

"Hehe, benefits? A top-grade Chess Worm can be considered as repaying your life-saving grace to Jiuge."

As Qi Luo You spoke, he patted a worm that looked very much like a chess piece in front of Long Xuan.

Seeing this strange-looking worm, Long Xuan's eyes brightened. Fearing that Qi Luo You would go back on his word, he hurriedly put away this Chess Worm.

He didn't expect that he would just say it casually, and this Qi Luo You would be so generous.

Chess Worms could be used to refine many chess-type Gu worms, and top-grade Chess Worms were the main worms for refining Chess Gu, which were extremely rare. He didn't expect Qi Luo You to give it to him so generously.

With the top-grade Chess Worm in hand, he was already considering whether to refine a Chess Gu for his next Gu worm.

He was truly quite interested in this kind of Gu worm that could share the fate of geniuses from all sides by playing chess.

The rules of playing chess in this world were different from his previous life. The biggest difference was the size of the chessboard and the number of chess pieces.

The rules of playing chess in this world were more similar to the ancient times of his previous life. The chessboard only had 17 lines, and filling it with chess pieces would only be 289 pieces. This was also the number of Qi Luo You's son Chess Gu.

And the rules of playing chess in his previous life were not only more perfect and fairer than this world, but the chessboard was also larger, with 19 lines, 361 pieces in total, 181 black pieces, and 180 white pieces.

He was very curious about what effect it would have if he used the rules of his previous life to refine the Chess Gu.

At least the number of son Chess Gu would be far more than the original Chess Gu. With more son Chess Gu, the strength would naturally far surpass the original Chess Gu.

If he exerted some more imagination, perhaps he could create another heaven-defying Gu worm. Long Xuan's interest grew stronger and stronger.

"Senior, please!"

Long Xuan's mouth curled up, and he slowly walked to the stone table and sat down.

Speaking of which, he could be considered a rare expert at playing chess in his previous life. In that era when the internet was developed, he could compete with experts from all over the world at any time, gathering the strengths of a hundred schools, and his chess strength naturally grew rapidly.

This was an advantage that this era did not have.

However, when he saw the chessboard carved on the stone table, Long Xuan frowned secretly.

Only then did he think that the chessboard in this world was 17 lines. He was used to the 19-line chessboard in his previous life. Suddenly changing to a small chessboard, he would inevitably be unaccustomed to it.

Under such circumstances, no matter how high his chess level was, how could he have a chance of winning?

Qi Luo You walked over with a smile and pushed the jar full of black chess pieces to him, smiling: "You are young, so we won't guess the first move. You go first."

Long Xuan took a deep breath. The winning rate of this game of chess was not high. At this moment, he had already prepared himself mentally to lose.

Of course, even if he could win this game of chess, he would deliberately lose. Without absolute strength, he dared not easily lose face for a Gu King.

Who knew what Qi Luo You's temperament was? If he didn't get what he wanted from him, he clearly wouldn't let it go.

Anyway, winning or losing this game of chess had no impact on him. Even if he lost, one of the son Chess Gu would share his fate, which would not constitute any negative impact on him. Since that was the case, why not let this old man win a game?

Wait until he carried forward the 19-line chess in this world, then come back to find this old man to find his place.

Long Xuan made a decision in his heart, took the black chess jar, and looked at the chess pieces inside.

The chess pieces in the jar were all Gu worms without accident, all son Chess Gu that looked exactly like chess pieces. If he couldn't faintly see small legs under each chess piece, he would really take these Gu worms as chess pieces.

Half of these chess pieces were glowing, and the light was bright and dark, with the brightest ones simply blinding.

It was not difficult to see that the more far-reaching the genius's achievements, the brighter the son Chess Gu connected to them.

And the smaller the genius's achievements, the dimmer the son Chess Gu connected to them.

And those chess pieces that didn't glow at all must be geniuses who hadn't been found yet.

After this game of chess ended, one of the non-glowing black pieces would glow, and in just a few decades, it would be blindingly bright and would become the brightest chess piece here.

Long Xuan stopped letting his imagination run wild, reached into the chess jar, grabbed the brightest chess piece, and placed it heavily on the bottom right corner of the chessboard.

"Well played!"

After Qi Luo You sat down, he reached into the white chess jar with a smile, also picked up the brightest white chess piece, and placed it heavily next to the black piece.

The white Chess Gu and the black Chess Gu were adjacent, and immediately they looked at each other, releasing intense sparks in their eyes, their fighting spirit soaring to the sky.

"Slap, slap, slap..."

Following the sound of one chess piece after another falling, the chessboard occasionally emitted the sound of pieces falling. The two fell pieces very quickly. Qi Luo You clearly didn't put this junior in his eyes, thinking of a quick battle, so he didn't think too long for every step.

Gu cultivators in this world only spent time on cultivation; how could they waste time studying the path of chess? Therefore, most Gu cultivators had a very poor level of chess.

Plus Long Xuan was so young, Qi Luo You naturally didn't think his chess level was very high, so he was much more casual in his moves. However, as he played, he found something wrong. He didn't know when he started to frown slightly, and the speed of falling pieces began to get slower and slower.

He found that this boy not only knew how to play chess, but his chess level was also extremely high. The chess moves were also ones that had never appeared in this world. Facing various evil and strange moves he had never seen before, he was under great pressure for a time, having to concentrate all his attention, locking his brows, and finally going all out. At this moment, he dared not have the slightest bit of carelessness.

Don't know when, people started to gather around the two.

At the city gate, it was a place where people gathered. At this time, seeing this chess expert Qi Luo You playing chess with someone, it would naturally attract countless onlookers.

Not long after, the two were surrounded tightly.

"What strange moves. This chess move is tricky and ruthless. It's my first time seeing it. I don't know who his master is."

"Who exactly is this boy? He can actually play with Qi Luo You to this extent. Rare."

"Hehe! It seems Qi Luo You has met his match. It's the first time I've seen him forced like this by a junior!"

Whispering sounds arose from the crowd.

Suddenly, a change occurred.

A black long dragon appeared above Long Xuan, and a white tiger appeared above Qi Luo You. A dragon and a tiger unfolded a fierce battle in the air.

And on the chessboard, Long Xuan's pieces were like a dragon, and Qi Luo You's pieces were like a tiger. The situation on the chessboard was very similar to the battle between the dragon and the tiger in the air.

Qi Luo You had a piece eaten, and the white tiger in the air suddenly had a tiger arm swallowed by the black dragon. Long Xuan had a piece eaten, and the black dragon in the air would also have a dragon horn patted off by the white tiger.

The battle between the dragon and the tiger was earth-shattering.

The crowd was terrified and hurriedly hid far away.

"It's actually Intent! The two playing chess actually produced Intent! Only when the chess level is high to a certain extent, and the chess game is wonderful to a certain extent, is it possible to produce Intent. The probability of Intent birth is extremely low, and even what I have seen is not much."

"I didn't expect this chess game could produce Intent. Intent is hard to find, extremely rare, but it is the best material for refining chess-type Gu worms."

"What a wonderful chess game. Chess games that can produce Intent are all eternal famous games. Quickly record this game of chess."

The appearance of Intent made the crowd exclaim, excitedly discussing with each other.

On the chessboard, the black pieces were still fiercely fighting with the white pieces. Long Xuan was fully focused, his eyes staring at the chess pieces on the chessboard, not disturbed by the movement of the outside world at all.

Don't know how long passed, he sighed lightly.

Although Qi Luo You was not familiar with his moves in the early stage and suffered a little loss, he finally reversed the situation bit by bit, slowly turning defeat into victory by relying on his unfathomable chess level.

At this time, a large piece of black pieces on the chessboard had been eaten, and most of the country had been firmly occupied by white pieces. This situation had no power to turn the tide.

Even the black dragon in the air was torn into two halves by the huge white tiger, eaten bit by bit. People who didn't know chess knew who won and who lost just by looking at the vision produced in the air.

Long Xuan threw the chess piece in his hand back into the chess jar and sighed in his heart.

After all, he was not familiar with the chessboard and suffered a big loss. Otherwise, even if he couldn't defeat Qi Luo You, he wouldn't have lost so miserably.

Long Xuan was not depressed because he lost a game of chess. This game of chess was expected, and he never intended to win. If Qi Luo You came to play the unfamiliar 19-line chessboard, the one who lost would probably be him.

"Hehe! You let me win! You let me win!"

Qi Luo You smiled and arched his hands toward Long Xuan, a look of hard-to-hide gravity flashing in his eyes.

This boy's chess level was not the highest among the opponents he had met, but the moves were unheard of. Playing chess with this boy was definitely the most tiring. A slight carelessness could lead to losing the whole game.

Just as Qi Luo You finished speaking, the last chess piece Long Xuan placed suddenly shone brightly, blindingly.

Clearly, the fate of this chess piece had been tightly linked with Long Xuan. The stronger Long Xuan was in the future, the stronger this chess piece would be.

Seeing the brightness of this chess piece, Qi Luo You was shocked. This chess piece was so bright in its initial state. How terrifying would this boy's future be? He had really caught a big fish this time.

"Senior! This game was lost by the junior. Next time, the junior will find his place. Goodbye!"

Long Xuan arched his hands toward Qi Luo You and immediately walked into the city, with no intention of talking anymore.

"Little friend, this old man is in the Saint Gu Academy. You can come to me to compete at any time."

Qi Luo You smiled and waved at Long Xuan's back, finally put away the chessboard, and left with Zhu Jiuge who was still in a coma.

The onlookers who hadn't seen enough shook their heads in disappointment and finally dispersed...

Entering the city, Long Xuan didn't look for the location of the Saint Gu Academy, immediately found an inn, and couldn't wait to start exerting his imagination about the Chess Gu.

Since he wanted to refine the Chess Gu, he naturally didn't intend to refine the original Chess Gu. He prepared to use the Go rules of his previous life to create a more terrifying Chess Gu.

Long Xuan sat at the table, took out paper and pen, and began to conceive the outline of the new Chess Gu. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 463 =====
