After hesitating a moment, he walked towards the control room at the back of the competition hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the control room, Long Aotian and Long Jing sat together, accompanied by more than a dozen high-level guards tasked with maintaining order and preparing to handle any emergencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard hurriedly walked in, approached Long Aotian, and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, Long Hang, the vice dean’s match with Yang Xiao is somewhat peculiar. Something seems off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Peculiar? How so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long Hang is drenched in sweat as if in great pain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Aotian replied calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’ve been playing for quite a while, that’s normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not normal; Yang Xiao remains steady with no abnormal reactions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible, right? Long Hang is in the Reach Nether Realm. How high can Yang Xiao’s realm be?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, why don’t you take a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Aotian hesitated before saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Jing, hearing their exchange, immediately added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trio exited the room into the competition hall, where quite a few people had already decided the outcome. After confirmation and registration by the staff, some stood around Yang Xiao and Long Hang, observing closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Long Aotian’s group arrived, there were already twenty or thirty spectators surrounding Yang Xiao and Long Hang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao and Long Hang were enveloped in a spiritual power killing aura, maintaining a two-meter radius that no one could breach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their chess match had shifted, with Yang Xiao’s black pieces occupying the major areas, although closer inspection showed he seemed to leave room; the white pieces could find a chance for reversal with effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Long Hang never gave up but persistently held on, racking his brain for strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every move Yang Xiao made felt like an invisible spiritual longsword piercing into Long Hang’s Divine Sense Sea, causing him suffering and agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao dropped a black piece, and Long Hang felt an invisible longsword stabbing into his brain, causing intense pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beads of sweat fell, yet Long Hang ignored them; amidst panic, he found a loophole in Yang Xiao’s setup and hurriedly placed a white piece to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he counterattacked, Long Hang felt slightly relieved, the pain less intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yang Xiao quickly placed a black piece as if a sword plunged into his body. Long Hang’s head throbbed with pain, causing his body to tremble slightly and his face to pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding people noticed Long Hang was thoroughly suppressed by Yang Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why doesn’t Long Hang concede?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He seems to be in agony; conceding and quitting the match would be best.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Concede? Why? Yang Xiao’s setup is flawed, and we’re not at the final decision stage. Long Hang still has a chance to reverse the game.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, Yang Xiao’s black pieces seem filled with flaws, offering Long Hang a chance for victory reversal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Aotian and Long Jing squeezed into the crowd, glancing at Yang Xiao and Long Kui, and were astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hang was clearly at a critical point of exhaustion, while Yang Xiao appeared calm and composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Jing relaxed, initially worried for Yang Xiao’s safety, but now that no danger was evident, she needn’t fret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Jing said to Long Aotian:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long Hang won’t last; let him surrender. If this continues, Long Hang could be seriously injured, even facing life-threatening peril.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Aotian hesitated briefly, responding bitterly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long Hang should be aware himself. We shouldn’t decide for him; he’s the vice dean with Reach Nether Realm cultivation, higher than us. Perhaps he has a hidden ace?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him choose whether to concede the match himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Jing urgently replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the situation is dangerous, Long Hang already ensnared in Yang Xiao’s setup, unable to extricate himself. If we don’t intervene, he won’t realize it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Long Aotian wasn’t versed in chess, he understood the danger Long Hang faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone keen would see their expressions and judge their states.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, Long Aotian harbored a slim hope, driven by his disdain for Yang Xiao, longing for a miracle where Long Hang might succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long Jing, I’m the host for this tournament; you’re merely my assistant. Follow my arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Jing waved her hand, unwilling to engage with Long Aotian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the duo placed ten more moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Long Hang’s face was ashen, sweat poured, soaking his clothes completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Yang Xiao’s forehead glistened with large beads of sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closer to the decisive moment, Yang Xiao grew cautious, having previously left too many openings for Long Hang, necessitating vigilance to avoid gifting him the chance for reversal with missteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, while intentionally revealing flaws to appear weaker, Yang Xiao faced intense spiritual pressure, immune to Long Hang’s attacks but vulnerable to his own power’s backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Aotian pointed at Yang Xiao and whispered to Long Jing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, Yang Xiao isn’t in a good spot either, he’s anxious too. Long Hang’s chances aren’t gone, hold steady.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, another dozen participants joined, many sharing Long Aotian’s views.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiao glanced at the board, acknowledging they had reached the late stage, crucial steps defining the outcome. Having let slip victory points earlier, retreat was no longer an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black piece landed, encircling a small group of white pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hang felt tense, akin to a sword entering his brain, struggling with unbearable pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Striving to stabilize his mind, he barely managed a move, hoping Yang Xiao would evade key spots in his subsequent moves, preserving a slim chance forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another black piece dropped unhesitatingly, blocking the white piece’s critical spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hang felt his heart tremble, his mind aching immensely, and his fury overwhelmed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thud!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood spurted from Long Hang’s mouth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body tilted, collapsing onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>",1093,"2026-06-06T16:55:25.275Z",1,"novelbin.me","4e1d1b480c2c9d55dd99425e7fa6e36c578ef716e1599e05c2eab7e36fdfae47","super-gene-hunting-ground-chapter-1208","super-gene-hunting-ground-chapter-1206",1219,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-gene-hunting-ground-cover.jpg"]
