Chapter 91: Won by a Nose!

He went dizzy on sight. The chessboard was like a swirling vortex pulling his thoughts in.

However, he was not unfamiliar with it. He immediately took a deep breath and stayed calm.

Suddenly, he was in a different dimension. He was not looking at what the others were looking at. The chessboard had infinitely expanded, creating the Heaven and Earth dimension.

The dimension was too big. He did not know how to start as a chess player.

He felt like an ordinary man who had suddenly become president and had no idea how to run a country.

Bam!

Endless Insights were coming at him, almost overwhelming him. He almost forfeited.

Was this what they called ‘Forces of the World’?

He felt the large impact from it in this dimension.

He knew he would be a goner if he was not powerful enough!

As the Chess Fanatic, he was afraid yet excited. He stared at the chessboard. It seemed like he was looking for an opening.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. He had to nail it!

Finally, he decided on how to start the game. He placed his chess piece in the center of the board!

Tap!

The white chess piece landed as the chessboard glowed.

Li Nianfan smiled at the Chess Fanatic.

The way the Chess Fanatic held the chess pieces and looking at his moves, he seemed to be good at chess. He looked like he had a lot of practice, unlike the players before him who could not even hold a chess piece properly without shaking. The previous players did not know how to play, let alone how to start an opening.

However, his chess moves were aggressive. Li Nianfan thought it might be because this was their first game.

Li Nianfan smiled with a black piece in his hand and placed it on the board with an audible ‘tap’.

Star position on the top left corner!

The Chess Fanatic was surprised by that. He was going through the motions as he felt the change in tides. He felt like he was hallucinating—that he was a true chess player, using Heaven and Earth to play chess with the expert and manipulating the Forces of the World!

This God-complex feeling made him feel eerie.

Tap, tap, tap.

Li Nianfan and the Chess Fanatic kept making moves. The tapping sounds were loud and clear, sounding crisp from the yard.

Lin Mufeng and Sun Qiansan were a quiet audience.

They looked at the Chess Fanatic with envy in their eyes.

As the audience, they could feel the changes in his aura. They sensed the Insights surrounding the Chess Fanatic. It was like an Insights baptism ritual. How lucky!

Even fools could tell the expert was helping the Chess Fanatic!

Li Nianfan was indeed helping him.

Li Nianfan could tell he was at the beginner level from the start. His skills might be on the same level as Daji’s.

He could defeat him easily, but deep down, he did not want to.

The Chess Fanatic and Daji were different despite being at the same level. Daji was forced to learn from Li Nianfan and she was not so agile in chess. The Chess Fanatic already knew how to play chess. He was a fast learner, too.

Therefore, Li Nianfan would miss a few moves on purpose to help him revive from dead-end moves. He did not disappoint Li Nianfan either. He saw through it and was a fast learner. Li Nianfan had fun.

Half an hour later, the Chess Fanatic moved the final white chess piece and sighed softly. “Mr. Li, I lost.”

“Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It’s just a game, The most important thing is to have fun,” said Li Nianfan while smiling.

He was truly an expert. The Heaven and Earth dimension was used just for entertainment.

The Chess Fanatic got up and bowed at Li Nianfan. “Thanks for the advice, Mr. Li. I learned a lot. I would love to bow as your disciple in the future!”

“No, absolutely not!”

Li Nianfan hurriedly stood up and stopped him. He said exasperatingly, “You’re a cultivator. Chess is just my hobby. How could I take you in as my student?”

This old man was truly obsessed with chess. Li Nianfan could not believe he wanted him to be his teacher after just one chess game.

Although it would feel good to have a cultivator as your student, he was still a cultivator nonetheless. Plus, Li Nianfan did not know how old he was. He could not accept him as a student.

He thought of those novels in the past realm where the incredible bigshot characters were infatuated by the main character. They followed the main character to the ends of the earth. Although it seemed awesome in theory, it was unrealistic when it happened in real life. He felt weak.

The Chess Fanatic looked rejected. Sigh, maybe the expert did not want to accept him.

Of course, he did not deserve to be his student, right?

He felt nervous and asked, “Then, can I come over and play chess with you in the future, Mr. Li?”

Li Nianfan laughed and said, “Of course, you can. I was starting to worry that I’ll never be able to find a worthy opponent.”

“Thanks a lot.” The Chess Fanatic looked excited. Then, he felt slightly embarrassed. “But my chess skills aren’t up to par yet. You’ll have to go easy on me, Mr. Li…”

“No problem, chess skills isn’t something you can achieve overnight,” Li Nianfan said. “Speaking of chess, I remember this chess story.”

“May I know what story, Mr. Li?” The Chess Fanatic was listening attentively.

Lin Mufeng and Sun Qianshan were listening closely, too. They were excited.

Stories from the expert were always extraordinary.

Li Nianfan saw that they looked intrigued, so he continued, “Once, there was a guy. He was ordinary but he refused to let his fate be decided in the hands of others. So, he went exploring alone in the depths of the mountains and found God. He battled God by playing chess. In the end, he bet his life as his final chess piece!”

The original story was long and complex. He was too lazy to recite it so he gave them the recap version.

Regardless, Lin Mufeng and the others still got goosebumps from that!

Li Nianfan was telling a story. Unless they were fools, none of them would ever treat it as a mere story!

Maybe this story was a personal experience of the expert, just like ‘Journey to the West’.

‘Refused to let his fate be decided in the hands of others.’ Did that mean he refused to be a pawn?

He also found God and chess-battled God. He risked his life to transform himself from a pawn to a player. How awesome was that!

The most important part of that story was that the guy was just an ordinary man!

What type of Godly character could do that?! How mysterious and unpredictable!

“Then what?” The Chess Fanatic stood up and stared at Li Nianfan. He was so nervous, his voice trembled.

Li Nianfan slowly uttered each word, “Won by a nose!”
