You're right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furukawa Masahiro was completely unable to pay attention to Horikawa Kaori's chatter beside him at this moment; he gathered his focus and stared intently at the game on the giant screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In the image, Furukawa Saio's face was pale, her eyes shifting uncertainly, clearly still struggling to think of a way to break the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And Xia Xia Xia Mujun opposite her appeared exceptionally calm, his eyes as deep as an ancient well, waiting for his opponent's next move without a ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Furukawa Saio, after long thinking, finally pick up a piece and place it on the board cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She had originally hoped that this move would at least make Xia Xia Xia Mujun stop and think for a moment, so she could use the time he spent thinking to continue deducing the subsequent moves and relieve the time pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, the moment her fingertips left the piece, the Shogi clock had been pressed for less than a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Click—\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xia Xia Xia Mujun had already picked up his own piece and placed it on the board without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The crisp sound of the Shogi clock being pressed again sounded particularly harsh in the quiet arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fine beads of sweat seeped out on Furukawa Saio's forehead, and she stared at the move Xia Xia Xia Mujun had just made in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She really couldn't understand, does this person not need to think at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why can he respond instantly every time?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Could it be that the Shogi paths she had practiced hard for many years under Dragon King Grandfather were so easily seen through, and even so easily cracked?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The continuous second-responses, plus the impending defeat, made Furukawa Saio feel unprecedented pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Her breathing gradually became rapid, and she even began to doubt her own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just then, on the giant screen, the match between Xia Xia Xia Mujun and Furukawa Saio was suddenly switched by the director to other contestants.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Furukawa Masahiro, witnessing this scene, was so anxious that he stood up directly from his seat:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Why did it cut away so quickly?
