Chapter 97: One Step Ahead

Longguo chess has a long history and has been passed down from the old times to the present. It integrates many old-time cultures such as military art and divination.

The seemingly simple chessboard contains extremely complex changes.

Xu Xuan has also been exposed to Longguo chess, and his chess skills can only be considered average, but he is not afraid at all.

When he was practicing the great astrolabe technique, he had already memorized all the chess records by heart.

The changes in chess moves are only the most basic and simple part of the big astrolabe technique.

With the foundation, he has no fear at all. Even if he can't play, he can still perform it on the spot.

The two of them laid out their chess pieces.

Xu Xuan holds the red one and Li Xingchen holds the black one.

According to the rules, the red chess moves first, but Xu Xuan was not polite and directly used the classic move to take the lead.

"Two cannons equal five."

This kind of start is either a novice or an experienced player.

Li Xingchen looked at Xu Xuan, as if he wanted to see something in Xu Xuan's eyes. Xu Xuan also kept looking at him with a smile, without any other emotion.

Li Xingchen had no choice but to protect the soldiers.

"Did you pass the tower?" Li Xingchen asked casually.

The two were playing chess and chatting.

"Passed by luck." Xu Xuan smiled.

"Not bad." Li Xingchen nodded subconsciously, then realized it and said in surprise: "What did you say?"

"I passed by luck. Is there any problem, senior?"

"Did you really pass?" Li Xingchen was shocked.

You must know that Xu Xuan was still in the Silver Moon realm when he entered. Those disciples had acceptable qualifications, but it was impossible for them to fight against the feudal lord.

How did this kid pass?

"Hey." Xu Xuan smiled, "Sorry, general, I'll eat your car."

Li Xingchen glared.

This young man, damn!

He originally wanted to distract Xu Xuan's attention by chatting and test Xu Xuan's chess skills along the way, but he accidentally lost his mind and lost a good chess piece.

After being devoured, Li Xingchen could only pretend to be calm and asked: "How did you pass? When I was at the peak of the Tianhe realm, I invited three teammates who cooperated very well to compete, and finally managed to pass by using loopholes in the rules."

"Keep it secret."

Xu Xuan shook his head.

How can you tell outsiders about cheating?

Reproduction and deduction, superposition and self-destruction.

As long as he lacks any means, he will not be able to defeat the feudal dark elf. It can only be said that the loopholes in the rules help him win half the battle.

Li Xingchen's view of Xu Xuan instantly changed in his heart.

No matter how Xu Xuan passes the level, it proves that Xu Xuan has abilities far beyond ordinary people.

No wonder this kid not only gained the attention of King Dinghai, but also made Lin Suying take the initiative to get close to him.

He heard that Xu Xuan played a key role in the defense battle of Dinghai King City. At first he didn't believe it, but now he believes it.

"You are the first person in history to break through the Tower of Delusion in the Sun Realm. I really admire you this time." Li Xingchen gave a thumbs up.

Xu Xuan smiled again and put the horse forward in his hand, "The second horse retreated four, and the general is here again."

Li Xingchen: "???"

You kid, do you know what it means to be human and worldly?

The old man has shamelessly flattered you, can you make a small move?

His mentality began to become chaotic. Even though he was superb at chess, the disadvantage was difficult to make up for when he lost a rook first.

What's more, Xu Xuan made every move impeccably, not giving him any chance.

He didn't know at all that Xu Xuan used the astrolabe technique to deduce countless outcomes for every move he made.

Without forcibly redeeming the pieces, it was impossible for him to capture Xu Xuan's pieces in vain.

"How to win?"

Li Xingchen stopped chatting with Xu Xuan.

If he really loses to a junior, he will have no place to save his face.

He looked at the chessboard with stars twinkling in his eyes.

At this moment, in his eyes, all the chess pieces seemed to come alive, and the paths of each chess piece turned into dotted lines, intertwined.

There were more and more intertwined threads, and the aura in his body began to surge uncontrollably.

At this moment, a voice came from the side.

"Li Xingchen, do you have no shame?"

"You are really good at playing chess with a junior and using the star deduction technique."

The person who spoke was none other than King Qianjun of the Xiong Kingdom.

Li Xingchen's old face turned red, "Watching the chess without saying a word, do you understand? Besides, if the chess players are deducing the moves, can that be considered cheating?"

"Despicable."

Kove cursed. He lost to Li Xingchen before just because this guy couldn't beat him and so he used deduction skills.

This old guy is not doing his job properly.

If a man of over two hundred years old learns deductions and divination, it will be of no use in fighting. In the end, he can only be clever at playing chess.

Li Xingchen curled his lips and said, "Xu Xuan didn't say anything, so you're talking nonsense."

He looked at Xu Xuan with a smile: "We are all playing chess based on our ability. You should have no objection, right?"

"No comment at all."

Xu Xuan nodded, still with a faint smile and not caring.

When Cove saw this, he sighed repeatedly: "You are a shameless old man. You dare not tell the truth by threatening others because of your high level. Xu Xuan must have even scolded your old mother in his heart."

Xu Xuan: "???"

He really has no objection!

Looking at Li Xingchen's laborious deduction, he knew that he was going to win this game.

The chess moves are endlessly varied.

Than deduction.

Then it depends on who lives longer.

The deduction of divination consumes energy and energy, and the secrets consume life. How can he lose to a bad old man?

The two sat opposite each other.

Each move takes a long time.

Li Xingchen's expression became more and more solemn. He had already used the Star Deduction Method, but why couldn't he find any flaws in Xu Xuan's chess moves?

Is this kid so young, but his chess skills are so strong that they are unpredictable?

Even Kov saw something wrong.

Normally, as long as Li Xingchen deduces, he will lose after a few moves.

But Xu Xuan still played steadily and did not show any flaws. Old Li was sweating. If he continued, he might lose.

"Am I going to lose?"

Li Xingchen also saw the situation on the chessboard.

There were fewer and fewer deduced chess moves, indicating that the game was about to come to an end. Xu Xuan's chess pieces began to close the game, and a lore was faintly formed.

Li Xingchen's heart was completely confused, and even the Star Deduction Method was unable to operate.

Boom!

The chess piece in Xu Xuan's hand fell.

It seemed to fall into Li Xingchen's heart.

"Knight two retreat four, cannon five level four!"

"Knight after cannon!"

"Lord!"

"I lost!"

Li Xingchen stared at the chessboard in a daze. He didn't expect that he would actually lose to a junior, and lose so thoroughly.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Xuan never gave him any flaws in his moves.

Xu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. After several hours of deduction of a game of chess, his head was a little confused. Fortunately, he was a little better and won the final victory.

I didn't expect that breaking into a tower could get extra benefits.

Any conditions for becoming a king.

This time, I made a lot of money!
