Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Of course, the club member also believed the principal's words, believing that with Teacher Yin's professional first-dan Go skills, he would definitely be able to understand the game between Chen Anxia and Touya Akira.

On the other side, the results of Chen Anxia and Touya Akira's guessing game were announced.

Based on the result of the coin toss, Akira Touya will play black and move first in this game.

Akira Toya knew the difference in skill between himself and Anxia Chen, so he never intended to win from the beginning.

As for Akira Touya, he challenged Anxia Chen even though he knew he would lose.

On the one hand, it was the atmosphere at the time that influenced him, and on the other hand, Akira Touya wanted to personally experience the chasm between himself and Chen Anxia.

However, Akira Toya would never know that the terrifying skill displayed by Chen Anxia in his game against Iwashima Otoko was actually that of Miki Soji, the Go master from another world.

The reason Chen Anxia agreed to the challenge from Touya Akira, who was not a player, was because Chen Anxia wanted to use Touya Akira to test his current true skill level.

The game has begun.

Akira Touya looked very serious and solemn. After exhaling a breath, he picked up a black Go stone and slowly raised it above the Go board.

The next moment, in everyone's eyes, a black streak of light descended from the sky and landed directly on the chessboard.

During this process, Akira Touya's Go spirit suddenly erupted and poured towards Chen Anxia.

In Chen Anxia's eyes, Touya Akira at this moment seemed to have transformed into a young lion with its fangs just beginning to show, roaring and threatening at him.

The club members watching the game, though unable to perceive it as directly as Chen Anxia, ​​all felt an indescribable sense of pressure at that moment.

This sense of oppression made them tense and unconsciously hold their breath.

They didn't know what had happened, but they had felt a similar sensation during the game between Kishimoto Kaoru and Mr. Yoon.

Just as everyone held their breath, Chen Anxia seemed completely unaffected, slowly reaching out to pick up a white chess piece, placing it on the board, and then dropping it directly.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, a delight to behold.

Snapped!

With a crisp, clear sound of a piece being placed, everyone saw Chen Anxia's move.

Because they saw it, everyone's faces showed astonishment and disbelief.

Even the principal, who didn't usually play Go, was stunned by Chen Anxia's move and unconsciously asked, "Is this a popular way to play recently?"

Upon hearing this, a member of the club, who looked completely bewildered, instinctively replied, "No, this isn't the latest trend."

"This illogical and incomprehensible move is like something a novice would make."

When Akira Touya saw Chen Anxia's move, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face showed shock and disbelief.

Not long ago, Akira Toya saw Yamazaki Sanjiro play the exact same illogical move during a game of Go with him.

That is, White's first move... a small knight's move to the corner!

Chapter 156 This game of Go will be recorded in the history of Go! (Second update, please subscribe)

The scene of the inter-school Go league competition.

At this moment, the competition is about to begin, and the contestants from each school are all in place, waiting for the competition to start.

Of course, the players and their instructors from each school also knew that the chess reporters would be recording and interviewing them at the competition venue.

For the original inhabitants of the world of "Hikaru no Go", they all know that Weiqi is the leading Go journal.

Therefore, being able to make a name for oneself in Go is definitely something to be proud of, and can even be considered an honor.

Therefore, these indigenous athletes are taking this competition even more seriously, wanting to give 120% of their strength and strive for an outstanding performance.

Even Kaga Tetsuo was the same.

In Kaga Tetsuo's view, it would be best to announce his return to the world of Go by playing in a Go tournament.

Players also attach great importance to this matter.

However, they weren't there because of the reputation of a group of chess players, but because of the group of chess reporters who came this time.

One of the reporters who came this time was also a player.

The player's name is Yasutaka Uemura.

That's right, it's Uemura Tairyu, who recently became a disciple of Wu Qingyuan.

After becoming a disciple of Wu Qingyuan, Uemura Tairyu naturally came into contact with the Go world of players.

Furthermore, in the world of "Hikaru no Go", Uemura Tairyu triggered a series of missions by chance, and after completing these missions, he obtained the identity of a Go intern reporter.

Therefore, after learning about this grand event for players, Yasutaka Uemura came to the venue as a Go intern reporter.

Of course, Uemura Yasutaka's purpose was not to collect journal material for Go.

Because Uemura Tairyu knew that Go players generally looked down on this level of competition.

Therefore, Uemura Yasutaka's real purpose was to broadcast this grand event for players to the Go community in real time.

Uemura Yasutaka is certain that this broadcast will bring him considerable popularity in the Go world.

The reason why Uemura Yasutaka did this was because Uemura Yasutaka's Go talent was mediocre, and he was already old. Even if he became a disciple of Go Seigen, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything.

According to Wu Qingyuan, if Uemura Tairyu is willing to work hard and spend time, he should be able to reach the mid-level professional level, but it will be very difficult to go any higher.

Uemura Tairyu himself knew this, but he didn't want to miss the upcoming golden age of Go, so he changed his mind and embarked on the path of Go journalist.

Coincidentally, this path has some similarities to Uemura Tairyu's previous profession, which makes him quite adept at it.

At this moment, Uemura Tairyu was talking with Teacher Yin and the referee dispatched by the Japanese Go Association, learning about some things.

Just then, the members who had come to call Teacher Yin to the Go club arrived, panting.

Upon seeing Teacher Yin, the club member disregarded everything else and went straight to Teacher Yin's side, saying, "Teacher Yin, the principal wants you to go back to the Go club."

Teacher Yin was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked with some confusion, "Principal? Why would the principal go to the Go club?"

The club member took a moment to catch his breath before saying, "Because Chen Anxia and Touya Akira are here."

"They are playing Go at the Go club, vying for the title of the best among the younger generation!"

These words gave Teacher Yin a sudden shock.

Not only Teacher Yin, but also Uemura Tairyu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but be startled when he heard Chen Anxia's name, and subconsciously asked, "Chen Anxia? You just said Chen Anxia?"

The member didn't recognize Uemura Tairyu, but still answered confidently, "It's Chen Anxia."

Seeing this, Uemura Tairyu couldn't contain himself any longer and looked at Teacher Yin, asking, "Teacher Yin, can I go to the Go club with you?"

"Of course." Without hesitation, Teacher Yin jogged towards the Go club.

Uemura Tairyu and the company member who came to deliver the news followed without hesitation and left the arena directly.

As for broadcasting, that was long forgotten by Yasutaka Uemura.

Shortly after Mr. Yin and Mr. Uemura Tairyu left, the arena began to stir.

Clearly, this news has caused quite a stir, both among the original inhabitants of the Hikaru no Go world and among the players.

However, they focus on different aspects.

The world of "Hikaru no Go" is focused on the game between Chen Anxia and Akira Touya.

What players are concerned about is why Yasutaka Uemura would abandon this grand player event and instead go to the place where two game NPCs are playing chess.

Could it be that the duel between these two game NPCs will be even more exciting than this player event?

Meanwhile, the staff of the inter-school Go league were also in an uproar.

"Where did all the reporters who were there for the chess game go? Are they no longer going to participate?"

“That was a game of Go between Chen Anxia and Akira Toya. If it were me, I would have done the same.”

"I have a feeling that this match between Chen Anxia and Touya Akira is very likely to take place in the game of Go."

"That's right. Chen Anxia is currently both a hot topic and a popular figure. Coupled with Akira Toya's own aura, he is fully capable of becoming a top player in the Go world."

"I'm so annoyed. If it weren't for maintaining order, I would have liked to go and watch the game too."

......

On the field, Kimihiro Tsutsui couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god, I really want to watch Chen Anxia and Akira Touya's match!"

"Given their talent, this game of theirs is very likely to be recorded in the history of Go, and will be mentioned by future generations when they grow up."

Kaga Tetsuo's emotions also began to fluctuate because of this news.

Upon hearing Tsutsui Kimihiro's words, Kaga Tetsuo solemnly replied, "That's true, so I'll finish the first round of the match as soon as possible and go watch the game!"

Upon hearing this, the player sitting opposite Kaga Tetsuo seemed to feel slighted by Kaga Tetsuo and said, "I'm afraid it won't be as you wish, because this time I will try my best to drag the match to the very end of the time limit."

Seeing this, Kaga Tetsuo opened his folding fan, using it to cover the lower half of his face. Looking at the opponent, a chill ran through his narrowed eyes as he said, "If you can do it, then give it a try..."

Sitting in the captain's seat, Ryoko Kurozuki watched this scene without saying a word, but looked at the player opposite Tetsuo Kaga, as if she had seen something, her gaze full of meaning.

Meanwhile, the match between Chen Anxia and Touya Akira continued.

After a few more moves of probing, Akira Toya finally confirmed that Chen Anxia was using the Dosaku style.

Akira Toya didn't know why Chen Anxia knew the Dosaku style, nor did he know if Chen Anxia was related to Yamazaki Sanjiro.

However, having already been defeated by the Dosaku style once, Touya Akira will not be as passive as he was the first time.

Even under the guidance of Touya Meijin, Touya Akira learned how to deal with the Dosaku-ryu style.

Akira Touya reached out and picked up a black Go stone, his eyes reflecting the Go board, his gaze focused on a certain point on the board.

The next moment, Akira Touya's eyes narrowed sharply as he channeled his aura into the black chess piece in his hand, transforming it into a bolt of black lightning that struck the chessboard.

Snapped!

Haiwang Private Middle School, Go Club.

At this moment, all the club members gathered around the chess table where Chen Anxia and Touya Akira were playing, watching their game.
