The Rookie Competition was also known as the New Beginner Competition.
As a highly anticipated rookie competition, it was held for rookies, so it wasn't too far away from the fixed segment competition.
Yu Liang was considered the best among the players of the same age group. No one could compete with Gu Shaoyun, and Gu Shaoyun had swept all the way without any opponents. Only Yu Xiaoyang was left.
You Xuan Chess Room, the holy land of Chinese Go.
Many people gathered in the viewing room to watch. Fang Xu, Yu Liang, Flowing Time, and the Four Great Chess Saints were all present. Sang Yuan, Lin Li, Zhao Bingfeng, and Yu Xiaoyang were all looking forward to this battle.
On the screen, the key points of the match had already appeared, along with the live broadcast and interpretation of the teacher.
Everyone's anxious eyes fell on Gu Shaoyun. They even stood up one after another, which was a little scary.
Gu Shaoyun did not say a word and slowly walked into the You Xuan Chess Room. Yu Xiaoyang had not arrived yet, so he sat there with his eyes closed and waited. Yu Xiaoyang arrived after a short wait.
After greeting everyone, he also entered the You Xuan Chess Room.
The so-called new beginner stage competition was a match between players who had just entered the beginner stage. It used a round-robin system, and those with a high winning rate had a chance of advancing to the second stage.
Usually, there would be a high-level senior to guide the game. For example, Yu Liang's guide was played by another Chess Saint, Zhao Bingfeng. Yu Xiaoyang hadn't participated in the game for many years. This time, she made an exception to take part in the game because of Gu Shaoyun's chess skills.
In the chess room of Youxuan, Gu Shaoyun played against Xiaoyang.
"Teacher Yu!" Gu Shaoyun naturally stood up and bowed. Yu Xiaoyang also bowed slightly.""The accomplished are the masters. After a thousand years, the Great Unity of Heaven and Earth Style has reappeared in the human world. I also want to experience it. I've seen all of your matches, and the only answer I can come up with is that you're at ease.”
"No one in the younger generation is your opponent, so I'll be your opponent. I can only find the legendary Hand of God when I fight against the best Go players. You've given me hope.”
Gu Shaoyun smiled." I want to find it too. Hand of God." Therefore, he hoped that this time, they would not meet each other's eyes and fight fairly!”
"Not close to your eyes?" The people outside were all shocked. Wang Zhong snorted and said,"He's too arrogant. He's challenging the world champion, Teacher Yu, and he's not even close to me?”
The commentator said,"Gu Shaoyun is indeed worthy of being the number one person in the younger generation. He's bold." At Teacher Yu's level, Gu Shaoyun was under a lot of pressure to play against him. He dared not to look at him. This young man was very arrogant!”
Yu Xiaoyang also smiled." You and I are different in age, after all. There's no rush. You win this round first. You'll naturally have a chance." I'm also looking forward to a full-on battle. Let me see your true ability. Guess first!"
Gu Shaoyun was no longer stubborn. He would have a fair fight in the following matches.
The Venerable One (Upper Hand) held white and let the black chess piece go first. This was also the usual rule of a duel between a high-level and a low-level.
Guaixian, a Go term. It was a method used in Go matches to decide who would go first. The order of guessing first was: first, the high-level person would hold a number of white pieces and not show them to others for the time being (when both parties were of the same level, the older person would hold the pieces). A low-level player who showed one black piece meant that the white piece was an odd number, and two black pieces meant that the white piece was an even number. If they guessed correctly, they would hold black, and if they guessed correctly, they would hold white.
"Guess first! Yu Xiaoyang took the black chess piece first. There was no suspense in this game!”The commentator also sighed," If Gu Shaoyun still needs to use his Unity of Heaven and Earth Style and the Heaven Falling Origin Style, then the gap is too big!" Gu Shaoyun still had no advantage even if he stuck fifteen eyes on it.”
Yu Xiaoyang landed on the upper left star position, and Gu Shaoyun landed on the Heavenly Yuan without hesitation.
"It really is Tian Yuan!" "Gu Shaoyun is still bold!" Lin Li praised.”
"You're trying to please the crowd!" Zhao Bingfeng didn't think so.”
"I don't think so!" Sang Yuan held his bracelet and looked at the screen with interest."This is getting more and more interesting! As expected, it was the same style as before. They began to attack!”
"So fast!" Everyone stared intently at the screen, not even daring to breathe loudly. Other than a few Chess Saints who could still speak occasionally, everyone else was watching carefully.
"Pa!" Gu Shaoyun's move was very fast, and Yu Xiaoyang soon felt the pressure. Yes, pressure. Gu Shaoyun seemed to be able to predict his every move.
Every time he placed a piece, it was as if it was knocking on his heart. This time, he also used all his abilities to start a fight.
"Gu Shaoyun's Unity of Heaven and Earth Style is indeed his style. Using offense to replace defense, a large-scale attack.”The commentator also sighed,"It's rare to see such a style of chess in the world." Go was a competition of strategy. It was not uncommon to see all kinds of traps, but setting up a trap and setting up a trap seemed meaningless to Gu Shaoyun. Attack, attack, attack!"
"This is the Unifying Heaven and Earth Style!" "It's so satisfying to be able to look down on the world according to the Heavenly Yuan and swallow mountains and rivers!" Sang Yuan sighed.”
"What's the current situation?" Shi Guang asked softly.”
"Very anxious!" Chu Ying said," Xiao Yun is using offense to defend. His Heaven and Earth Unity Style is too fierce. Yu Xiaoyang is setting up layers of traps to lure him into a complicated battle. It was a great taboo to go deep alone. It would depend on whether Xiaoyun could counter every move. In this kind of battle between experts, it was completely impossible to see the victor!”
"However, Yu Xiaoyang has probably underestimated Gu Shaoyun by sticking fifteen eyes on him! In this situation, even if I were to put up fifteen eyes, I would lose without a doubt.”
The battle was indeed tense. Gu Shaoyun liked this kind of pressure. His attacks were unstoppable, and the more he fought, the braver he became. No matter how Yu Xiaoyang's ever-changing moves were, he could sweep them all away in one move. Yu Xiaoyang also slowly realized that those were useless, so he no longer hid and started to attack.
After breaking through those corners, what was left was the calculation of computing power. The killing intent that came and went sent chills down everyone's spine.
"Too anxious! This is killing until the sky turns dark!" Hong He swallowed his saliva." How long will we kill?”
The strength of a world champion was indeed not to be underestimated. Gu Shaoyun brought out his true strength. The Unifying Heaven and Earth Style had already entered the Dao, reaching the peak of perfection. When attacking the enemy, one must rescue them, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring.
Yu Xiaoyang also displayed his many years of experience in the chess world. He advanced layer by layer and kept getting anxious, but he was still forced into a corner.
"That's amazing!" "How's the situation now?" Shi Guang gritted her teeth.”
"Gu Shaoyun is not far from victory!”"Amazing!" Chu Ying exclaimed. This kind of chess was completely using offense to defend. His offense was too sharp! Even if it was me, I might not be able to block it!”
"There's an abyss in front of us, and pursuers behind us…We're charging left and right, struggling bitterly!”Yu Xiaoyang fell into deep thought. This game had started in the morning and had already lasted until the afternoon. No one had reminded him, but in fact, Yu Xiaoyang had already exceeded the time limit.
"I lost!"
"Whoosh!" As soon as he said that, there was an uproar in the Go room outside.
"Teacher Yu actually…lost?"
"Thank you!" Gu Shaoyun gave a slight greeting," If I didn't look at you, I wouldn't have won so easily.”
"After all, this is a guiding game. The Great Unity of Heaven and Earth is indeed amazing!”"I'm looking forward to your performance in the celebrity battle." Yu Xiaoyang asked. At that time, we'll have a showdown!"
"Good!"
The Masters Tournament was the largest, highest-level traditional professional tournament in China, with the largest number of professional players participating and the longest duration. It was also the national Go competition in Xia country.
If he could win the Masters, Gu Shaoyun would be qualified to participate in the World Competition. Of course, that was next year.
"Congratulations, Gu Shaoyun. This year's Rookie King had been born!”Gu Shaoyun had won the title of Rookie King and also won the prize money. The rookie competition was a three-stage competition, so the prize money was naturally very generous. It was 100,000 Xia dollars.
Gu Shaoyun had taken down another city. Including the 80,000 yuan he had previously, he now had 180,000 yuan in savings.
