Chapter 471

In the crowd, Qi Luo You looked at this game with an extremely solemn expression, his hands hidden under his sleeves trembling non-stop.

With his vision, it was naturally not difficult to see the doorway of these Go rules. In his view, these Go rules were much, much better than the traditional seventeen-route chess.

He asked himself that he would definitely play nineteen-route chess with others in the future, which had more changes and tested wisdom more. He would never touch the simpler seventeen-route chess again in his life.

Compared with nineteen-route chess, seventeen-route chess is simply a child's game.

The popularity of nineteen-route chess in this world has become inevitable. Seventeen-route chess will be eliminated in the long river of history. Gu cultivators who cultivate the path of chess will be collectively strengthened today.

He had to be shocked. The appearance of Chinese chess before had already strengthened the Gu cultivators who cultivated the path of chess.

How long has it been, and the path of chess has been strengthened again? Where did this world get so many monsters? He thought in shock.

As time passed, this game finally ended.

Xiong Zhan's fingers trembled, and the chess piece in his hand fell powerlessly, dropping heavily into the chess jar.

He actually lost. Under the situation where the opponent gave a nine-stone handicap, he actually lost. His eyes were full of disbelief.

His level of chess was not bad, but the opponent's strange moves were endless, all of which he had never seen before. The way this Chess Gu played chess seemed not to come from this world, making him feel extremely unfamiliar.

Unfamiliar chess paths, coupled with unfamiliar game rules, made him suffer a big loss. In the end, he accidentally made a fatal mistake. One step wrong, every step behind. Slowly, his big dragon was slaughtered by the opponent, and he lost the whole game.

"Hehe! I accept the win! I accept the win! Please invite the next victim, still a nine-stone handicap! Who wants to be abused!"

Long Xuan had an arrogant face and shouted at the crowd.

That the Chess Gu could win even after giving the opponent a nine-stone handicap was something he had never expected.

Since that was the case, he became arrogant and prepared to use provocation to force more people to come and play chess with the Chess Gu.

His provocation really worked. The crowd below was immediately indignant, and an old man in the back shouted loudly: "I'll come! Hehe! Giving me a nine-stone handicap, no one has ever played with me like this. It's quite novel."

Long Xuan looked at this old man. When he saw the appearance of this opponent, he was immediately startled and could not help but complain in his heart.

Good fellow, the person who came was actually Qi Luo You. Giving Qi Luo You a nine-stone handicap, isn't this looking for death? This game is definitely lost. He silently mourned for the Chess Gu in his heart.

One day passed in a flash. The Chess Gu insisted on seeking death by giving a nine-stone handicap, and finally ended with two wins and two losses, playing from morning until night.

Originally, with the popularity of his shop's business, it wouldn't take long to close, and it would be impossible to drag it on for a day. However, the Chess Gu delayed a lot of time playing chess.

Originally, playing Go is an extremely time-wasting game, especially since he enlarged the chessboard, making the pieces on the chessboard more numerous. Playing a game of chess undoubtedly requires more time. It is normal for a game of Go to take several hours.

Under these circumstances, the Coffee Gu Specialty Store was dragged until evening before closing. The group of Gu cultivators he kicked out were still unsatisfied, reluctant to leave, looking back every three steps.

The way of playing nineteen-route chess is truly wonderful and interesting. They felt stimulated after watching it for a day. The new Go rules have completely conquered them, making them obsessed to the point of being unable to extricate themselves. They are addicted.

After they left, they immediately made nineteen-route chessboards and sat down everywhere in the city to play against each other, completely forgetting to go home and forgetting the passage of time.

And their games once again attracted the attention of other passersby on the street. Seeing the completely different chessboards, a large number of passersby showed surprise and stopped to watch one after another. For a time, exclamations arose one after another. The new Go rules are spreading in all directions at an astonishing speed on this day.

And what everyone didn't know was that after Qi Luo You returned to the Chess Academy, this branch dean of the Chess Academy immediately made the astonishing decision to abolish seventeen-route chess, ordering all students to play the more difficult nineteen-route chess in the future, and the refining of Chess Gu must also be based on the rules of nineteen-route chess. This decision, unsurprisingly, caused quite a sensation in the academy.

At this time, Long Xuan ignored the sensation that nineteen-route chess was gradually causing in the city. After closing the shop and locking it, he immediately carried the black card and walked toward the Saint Gu Academy.

Having had the experience of entering the Saint Gu Academy, it didn't take long for him to come to the tall black tower. Looking up, his eyes carried undisguised shock.

He tightened his fists, suppressed the fear of the things under the tower, and without hesitation, stepped into the tower.

He had a premonition that as long as he cultivated in this tower, his breakthrough to the peak of the Spirit Sea would be just around the corner.

However, when he walked to the entrance, he was blocked by two guards in black at the Gu King realm. He was greatly shocked in his heart, secretly sighing that the Saint Gu Academy was truly full of hidden talents. The Gu Kings that were rarely seen outside were actually guarding the door here, and there were two of them.

It is not difficult to guess that these two people must be asking him for the black card. The Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower is a holy land for cultivation; how could just anyone enter it casually?

Before the two could ask, Long Xuan took the initiative to hand over his black card.

The black-clad Gu King took the black card in his hand, checked it carefully, looked up at Long Xuan, and said playfully, "It's actually Xiong Zhan's black card. It seems he determined that you wouldn't be able to stay in the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower for long, otherwise he would never have given you a black card that still has three opportunities."

Hearing this, Long Xuan frowned slightly. What does this sentence mean? Could it be that the time for entering the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower to cultivate once is very short? Could it be that he was set up?

He frowned and asked, "He determined that I wouldn't be able to cultivate in the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower for long. What does this mean?"

"Hehe!" The other black-clad Gu King chuckled, "It's very simple. To prevent students from sending all their relatives to the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower to cultivate, the academy stipulates that each student can only bind one black card."

"The black card is real-name registered and cannot be processed in multiple copies at the same time. Only if it is lost is it allowed to process a second one."

"In this way, although the geniuses of the Saint Gu Academy can lend the black card to their relatives, doing so will also cause them to lose the opportunity to cultivate in the black tower."

"Most Gu cultivators, of course, will not easily lend the black card to others, unless the person who borrows the black card cannot persist in the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower for a long time. Only then will they be generous."

Hearing this, Long Xuan suddenly realized. It seems that he was indeed set up by that Xiong Zhan. He thought that he wouldn't be able to stay in the Demon Tower for long, which is why he generously gave the black card to him.

But didn't he underestimate him a bit too much? He had never understood him, yet he dared to assert that he wouldn't be able to persist in the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower for long? He really had eyes but didn't recognize Mount Tai! He would pay the price for his short-sightedness.

"May I ask, how long do you think you can persist in the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower?" The black-clad Gu King looked at Long Xuan jokingly.

Long Xuan stretched out a finger.

"Is it an hour? That's really too short!" The Gu King laughed, his face carrying a faint mocking meaning.

Long Xuan shook his head and said arrogantly, "Wrong, I mean to cultivate forever!"

After speaking, he put away the black card whose number had changed from three to two and stepped into the Nine-Layer Demon-Suppressing Tower.

He was not joking when he said this. He had already made up his mind to go into seclusion in this geomantic treasure land and would never come out again until he broke through to the peak of the Gu King realm.

Since Xiong Zhan dared to underestimate him, let him wait outside forever.

Hearing this, the corners of the two black-clad Gu Kings' mouths couldn't help but twitch. To be able to cultivate forever, he could really brag. (End of chapter)
