High school was still focused on studies, and Gu Shaoyun was not a talkative person. Other than Huang Zhitao, who occasionally talked to him, no one else talked to him. The two of them only talked about studies.
As for Fang Yifan, he had spent a lot of effort chasing after his goddess. However, after he moved in, he realized that Huang Zhitao and Gu Shaoyun had the best relationship. Not only did they go to school, after school, do morning exercises, eat, and occasionally do homework together. He could only quietly bury this memory of his youth.
Coupled with the fact that the reason for moving was exposed, his parents gave him a mixed doubles game and completely extinguished his anger.
Gu Shaoyun could not interfere in other people's affairs.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. The midterms were getting closer and closer, and the professional Go competition was even earlier. This was the most important match for Gu Shaoyun this year, and it was also the key to whether he could step into the professional chess world.
That day, Gu Shaoyun did not go to the classroom. Instead, he went to the office to ask for leave.
"Professional Go tournament?" Li Meng looked at the application with a strange expression.""You want to be a professional Go player? What rank are you at now?"
"Amateur 5-dan!" Gu Shaoyun explained. Last time, he had reached Level 5 in one go.
"Amateur 5-dan?" Li Meng couldn't help but feel surprised. Of course, she also knew that this was the most special child in the class. He had no parents and his sister wasn't by his side. Gu Jia had already communicated with the form teacher. It would be strange if she did not know."Gu Shaoyun, what are you thinking? They were already in their third year of high school, yet they were still competing! If you have any difficulties in life, I can lend you some first.”
"It's different this time. It's not just for money. This is professional Go!" "After passing the exam, you'll become a professional Go player," Gu Shaoyun explained. Stepping into the professional chess world. The professional Go tournament was the college entrance examination for the Go field.”
"Does that mean that you don't have to take the college entrance examination after taking this?”Teacher Li Meng obviously didn't know how to play Go.
"Almost!" "I can participate in the National League and the World League after the exam!" Gu Shaoyun nodded. A professional Go player is equivalent to a Chinese athlete. The early stages of a professional Go player are first-class athletes. We can apply to a university through the Go Association.”
Teacher Li Meng knocked her head." I see. Becoming a professional Go player seems like a good path."”
"That's right!" "It's just a different choice," Gu Shaoyun said seriously."Besides, I'm confident that I'll be able to get into a professional Go player."”
"Alright then! It's a week!" "So long?" Li Meng muttered.”
"There are twelve consecutive rounds in the fixed segment!" "Every year, more than 5,000 people compete for 20 spots," explained Gu Shaoyun. Therefore, it was more difficult. The cycle was also relatively long. It could be found on the official website of the Chinese Go Association.”
"Five thousand people fighting for twenty spots?”"This ratio is no less than the university entrance examination." Li Meng looked worried. Are you confident?"
"It's only about a week!" "I won't give up even if you don't let me go!" Gu Shaoyun laughed.”
Teacher Li Meng nodded and opened the official website of the China Go Association. She did see the explanation about the professional Go competition, and the time was right."Alright, since you're prepared to participate, I'll naturally support you. Then I hope you can step into the professional chess world soon.”
"Alright, thank you, teacher. Also, keep it a secret!”Gu Shaoyun said lightly.
"You child, other people can't wait for the whole world to know that they've won an award. How great would it be if you became a professional Go player?”Teacher Li Meng couldn't understand it either. Gu Shaoyun used to take many days off to participate in countless competitions. He even disappeared during the winter and summer vacations. He never participated in supplementary classes, but he kept a very low profile and never caused any trouble in school.
"It's the third year of high school. It's better to keep this news to a minimum so that people won't be swayed! If it caused a commotion, it would affect everyone.”"I'm leaving then!" Gu Shaoyun smiled.”
"Hey!" "Qiao Yingzi has been taking mornings off recently, did you know?" Li Meng asked.”
Gu Shaoyun shook her head," I don't know. I haven't paid much attention to it."”
This was also the most common way for teachers to understand the situation. They would find a good child to ask and act as the teacher's eyes and ears.
"Oh, then I'll ask someone else. You go do your work!" Teacher Li Meng watched Gu Shaoyun leave with a strange expression.""Professional Go players? This child! If he could get into a professional Go player, that would be a good path.”
The school life was as usual. The only person who noticed Gu Shaoyun's disappearance was Huang Zhitao.
Huang Zhitao sent a message to Gu Shaoyun,[Where did you go?]”
Gu Shaoyun replied quickly,[I took a week off from the Go competition.] Is there anything?"
"I'm fine! Good luck in the competition!" Huang Zhitao also sent a cute emoji.
"Thank you, I will definitely win!”Gu Shaoyun felt warm inside. Tao Zi was actually quite loving.
The competition was held at the Xia Country's Go Association. The Xia Capital venue took up a large area, and hundreds of people were competing at the same time. These were all amateur fifth or sixth dan experts, but there were only 20 places each year. Gu Shaoyun had already booked a hotel for a week. Students from various dojos had come to attend the event, so he bumped into an acquaintance when he arrived at the Qiyuan.
"Gu Shaoyun!" Shi Guang had already seen him early in the morning, greeting his friends in the training hall.
"Flowing Time!" "You're also setting a date this year?" Gu Shaoyun laughed.”
"Of course!" "I'll definitely be able to set a date this year!" Shi Guang said confidently.”
"I'm looking forward to it!" Gu Shaoyun smiled and greeted his teacher and the others before entering.
"You have to hope you don't run into him!" The teacher smiled helplessly.”
"Why?" Shi Guang was puzzled.
"Are you stupid? Even Yu Liang can't beat him. He was just going through the motions!”"Brother, I hope we don't run into him." Hong He said helplessly.”
Gu Shaoyun's chess skills had already reached the level of a master. His first opponent was a little girl who cried at the beginning of the match.
"I've already booked it for three years. If I don't book it, I'll be finished!”
Gu Shaoyun calmly placed his pieces without saying a word. He slaughtered everyone on the board, killing them brutally.
"Why are you like this!" "You used underhanded tricks when I wasn't paying attention," the girl said angrily.”
Gu Shaoyun didn't let it go. He raised his hand and called for the referee.
"Gu Shaoyun wins in the middle!"
There were nine rounds in a row, and Gu Shaoyun was unstoppable.
"Gu Shaoyun wins in the middle!"
There was another uproar on the field. Gu Shaoyun was the first to leave the field, and his opponent was the most favored Yue Zhi.”
"Let's improve together!" Gu Shaoyun stood up and left. Fang Xu was already waiting outside the arena. Yu Liang had also arrived. Naturally, he was here to invite Gu Shaoyun to join the battle team and participate in the round-a-team tournament.
"How is it? Have you considered it?" "I've already prepared the materials," Fang Xu said with a smile.”
Previously, Fang Xu had sent him an invitation through Yu Liang to join his team and start the competition.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother, but I'm destined to walk alone!”Gu Shaoyun wasn't interested in participating in the team competition with others.""I have three goals: the Rookie Competition, the Masters Competition, and the Big Dipper Cup World Competition!”
These three were all step-by-step competitions. The rookie competition was also the competition for the newcomers. It was a battle between young people who had just entered the first stage. The champion would be awarded the title of " Rookie King."
The Masters Tournament was the national Go competition in China. The champion would be given the title of " celebrity."
Needless to say, the Big Dipper Cup World Competition was the Champions League that had dominated Korea for many years. The player who won the world championship would be awarded the title of " Chess Saint."
Fang Xu seemed to have expected this outcome."Alright, but I have another piece of news to tell you today. Teacher Yu is preparing to participate in the new beginner's competition and prepare to play the next round with you.”
Yu Xiaoyang had not participated in the rookie competition for many years. Because of this, Gu Shaoyun had undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people and would soon become a new legend in the Go world.
"I'm looking forward to this battle!" Gu Shaoyun gave a slight greeting and turned to leave the arena. He was now a professional Go player. The next step was to challenge the professional Go world.
Yu Liang smiled and said,"You didn't have enough fun, did you? How many more rounds?"”
"Alright, let's go!"
"Let's go!" Yu Liang's hands had been itching for a fight during this period of time. His chess skills had improved very quickly.
Gu Shaoyun only returned home late at night.
