Chapter 830: 7. The Academy Pointing at the Chess Game, Breaking the Sword Move in the Moonlit Night (2 in 1)
Even in the nine thousand years of Great Shang, he had many names and incarnations, leaving behind many mythical chess games, chess manuals, and endgames.
How could this old man defeat him?
They were on completely different levels.
After one round, the dean of Tingxue Academy was already drenched in sweat…
The old man felt like he was playing Go for the first time.
The method that he was so proud of was actually incomparably clumsy in front of this youth.
The ingenious hand that he had once been secretly proud of was like a reckless beast that thought he was right. It charged left and right in the inescapable net woven by the young man’s pure white chess pieces, but it could not get out.
What was even more ridiculous was that the old man actually felt as if the young man in front of him was “guiding” him.
The flaw that he had accidentally discovered was merely a flaw that the youth had deliberately revealed. It was to make him think and improve, or to test his level, chess style, and character.
The old man grabbed two black pieces and placed them on the chessboard, indicating that he admitted defeat. Then, he smiled bitterly and said,”Why did little mister come to my Tingxue Academy?”
“Learn,” Xia Ji said.
“What do you want to ask, Young Sir?” The old man said sincerely. If Sir has any requests, please feel free to say it…
Today, just this guidance has truly benefited this old man endlessly.
If Mister is willing, this old man doesn’t mind the eyes of the world and can take you as my master.”
Xia Ji shook his head and replied, ” No need. “”Is there a place for enlightenment in this world?”
” Empowerment is an overnight journey, ” the old man said. ” If one’s cultivation and state of mind are not up to speed, many problems will arise in the future. ”
After saying this, he suddenly laughed at himself, as if he was mocking himself for looking at this youth with an ordinary gaze.
He paused for a moment to sort out his thoughts before saying, ” Most of the places of enlightenment are left behind from ancient times. They are often in the Fiendish Lands and are not known by others…
If they encountered these areas,
Except for some people who dreamed of soaring into the sky, who thought that they were the main characters and would definitely be different from others, they would take the risk to directly perform enlightenment.
As for the other people with powerful backgrounds, they would not treat it as an opportunity. Instead, they would carefully try to move it back into their forces. If they could not move it back, most of them would directly destroy it or ignore it.
The reason was simple. No one knew what the enlightenment methods in these places were.
The fiendish land is treacherous and dangerous. If he were to be taught an evil technique, he might directly become a lunatic.”
Xia Ji listened quietly and felt that this enlightenment was indeed different from his previous life. However, the reason why it was safe in his previous life was that the place of enlightenment was in the aristocratic families. If he suddenly saw a place like the ” youngling dragon pool ” in the wilderness, no one would dare to enter it directly.
“I think Little Mister only wishes to improve quickly, and not to be obsessed with the enlightenment itself.”
In that case, I have a solution.”
He stroked his long beard and said softly, “”Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array.”
Then, he continued,”You just need to place the eight formation flags of this spirit gathering formation in the direction of the eight trigrams and place them where the spiritual energy is still acceptable.”
Then, the cultivator would sit in the center of the formation and cultivate. If the method was appropriate, they could advance by leaps and bounds.
And I happen to have a set of formation flags for the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Formation.”
“Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Array?”
Xia Ji had indeed never heard of this thing. Although it existed in theory, it was true that the Great Shang did not have it after nearly ten million years.
At that time, the Great Shang only had Xuan formations…
Thinking about it, this might be the Heavenly Dao eliminating these in the river of time in order to reduce the variables.
Ouyang Mu was experienced and knowledgeable. He continued to speak with confidence,”Other than formation flags, there are also medicinal pills.
However, the pill contained pill poison. Unless it was used to break through a major realm, it could not be used at other times.
Of course, there are also some demons that have a special devouring technique. For example, they can devour their enemies and directly increase their strength.”
The old man spoke a lot more before he stopped and suddenly said, “”What identity does little mister intend to use to enter my Tingxue Academy?”
“Ordinary students.”
“Understood.”
Ouyang Mu nodded. ” From now on, the young gentleman is already a student of the Academy. ”
“What about the assessment?” Xia Jiqi asked.
“Didn’t you notice, sir?” Ouyang Mu smiled bitterly.
The chess pieces, the chessboard, and even the pavilion itself all contain some strange spiritual influence…
If one’s temperament was not good or not strong enough, even if one’s chess skills were superb, they would frequently miss here.
The bigger the flaw in one’s heart, the harder it was for one to concentrate here…
This is the test. Three days later, all the students who want to enter my Tingxue Academy will have to come to these pavilions to play chess. However, most of them will not be able to last even a few moves…Therefore, the assessment will be very fast.”
Xia Ji didn’t feel the impact at all, but he still said, “”No wonder I felt a little distracted earlier…”
Ouyang Mu was speechless.
You were distracted, but you still played the “guiding chess” to me when you had a backup plan?
No, you’re comforting me.
This old man, I…
The two of them chatted for a while more. Ouyang Mu felt that it was not strange at all for him to call him “Little Mister”. This young man was really something.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Xia Ji chose to leave.
Ouyang Mu also understood the meaning of ” flattering him to death ” and understood that this young man did not care about the title of ” sending him off “. He did not personally send him off but watched Xia Ji’s figure leave.
