The Most Powerful Overlord

Chapter 77: Who Says It’s Lost?

On the stage.

Fan Jingyu praised Chiba Chikafu while watching him: "Indeed! I have to commend you! So young, yet you possess such a calm demeanor and are adept at defense. It’s true, my aggressive attacks gradually fall at a disadvantage against your impeccable defense, but what do you know of my capabilities?"

Chiba Chikafu remained exceptionally composed, even when at a disadvantage, his face remained calm with his expression unmoved.

"Are you the disciple of Huaxia’s Chess Ghost?"

Suddenly, Chiba Chikafu blurted out a sentence.

Upon hearing this, Fan Jingyu was taken aback: "You... what do you mean?"

Chiba Chikafu looked up: "The chess technique you use is the Chess Ghost’s peculiar style; it looks like an offensive but is actually defensive, trapping the opponent with defensive moves!"

"Oh? You figured it out? But so what?"

Fan Jingyu replied coldly, confident that he was foolproof.

Chiba Chikafu shook his head and said, "You haven’t even reached the Chess Ghost’s level, how can you be my opponent!"

"What do you mean?"

Fan Jingyu thought of something, frowning slightly.

"I’m sorry, I arrived in Huaxia a week early and challenged the seven great Go masters of Huaxia, among them was the Chess Ghost. Unfortunately, he lost to me!"

Chiba Chikafu stated in a nonchalant manner.

"What?"

Fan Jingyu’s face changed dramatically, turning pale, beads of sweat rolling off his forehead, not daring to look directly at Chiba Chikafu.

"The Chess Ghost’s leftover tactics, yet you still use them! Didn’t you notice my chess style was familiar to you?"

Chiba Chikafu laughed.

Fan Jingyu’s gaze slowly fell on the chessboard, the situation having undergone a radical transformation this time.

Chiba Chikafu’s chess style is extremely calm, steady but mutable, seeking life in change, each move falls with caution, involving ten or even dozens of steps later, truly flawless.

The most crucial is Chiba Chikafu’s strategy seems defensive but is in fact offensive, a layered attack waiting for the final moment to kill the opponent completely.

It just happens to be the opposite of the Chess Ghost’s tactics, exactly a restraint.

"Crash..."

Understanding everything, Fan Jingyu’s forehead was dripping with bean-sized sweat, his body trembling continuously.

"What exactly happened on stage? Why hasn’t the Japanese made a move for a long time?"

"And the school heartthrob seems a bit off? Why is he sweating?"

"Yes, it seemed like he was about to win! Why does he look like this?"

Noticing Fan Jingyu’s abnormality, everyone was puzzled.

"Does the old principal have any questions?"

Others asked.

Jiang Xianxian shook his head: "I can’t see any clues either!"

"My turn!"

On stage, Chiba Chikafu laughed and placed a piece down.

"Pop!"

A sound rang like thunder in everyone’s hearts, in an instant, the chessboard underwent an earth-shaking change, the situation completely reversed.

Tens of hidden traps connected like currents, the black pieces split and slaughtered the white pieces, in moments the white pieces all became lambs to the slaughter.

A piece falls, the massacre formation!

"Thud!"

Fan Jingyu collapsed with a thud, his strength seemed drained, his face pale, bloodless, eyes empty, like a walking corpse.

Since his debut, the undefeated myth of a hundred victories ended here!

Unwilling!

Deep unwillingness!

But it’s no use, lost is lost!

"Lost! Didn’t expect Chiba Chikafu was setting a trap all along, inviting us into the jar!"

"Chiba Chikafu is really terrifying! Even Fan Jingyu is not his match!"

"This is definitely the battle that proves Chiba Chikafu’s Dao!"

Everyone finally saw what happened, Fan Jingyu was completely defeated!

In this battle, Chiba Chikafu won!

Jin City University’s students collectively fell silent!

Especially those in the finance department, their faces white, unconsciously casting their gaze to one person: Ye Qingtian.

Was he really guessing, or does he really understand chess?

Qin Lingyue couldn’t help but shiver, Ye Qingtian really guessed right.

Hou Tianlei lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Qingtian.

Chiba Chikafu stood up and cupped his hands: "Thank you for letting me win!"

Hokkaido University’s delegation resumed their initial arrogance, scanning the whole place.

Jiang Xianxian stood up and bowed: "We lost this match, and we accept it wholeheartedly!"

"Who says we lost?"

As Jiang Xianxian’s voice fell, a voice boomed like thunder across the ground, shocking everyone.

Following the source of the voice, everyone looked towards a person, it was Ye Qingtian.

"Ye Qingtian, are you crazy? It’s a foregone conclusion! Where haven’t we lost?"

"This isn’t the time for grandstanding! You’re embarrassing our school!"

"Lost and still going to be stepped on again, humiliated once more!"

...

Many people scolded him on the spot.

"It’s him!"

Jiang Xianxian was startled when he saw Ye Qingtian.

Fan Jingyu’s appearance made him overlook Ye Qingtian.

The utterly disheartened Fan Jingyu saw Ye Qingtian, was momentarily dazed, then focused all his attention on the chessboard.

But no matter how he looked, he couldn’t confirm they hadn’t lost!

"Heh, you say we haven’t lost? Then tell us where we haven’t lost?"

One of Hokkaido University’s representatives yelled coldly.

"Indeed, we haven’t lost!"

Suddenly, Chiba Chikafu’s voice echoed.

"What? We haven’t lost? He even figured it out?"

The whole room was stunned.

"Could he be creating a miracle again?"

Song Xuefei clenched her fists tightly, her face tense, her heart pounding, extremely nervous.

"But I only need two moves to win!"

After seriously observing the chessboard, Chiba Chikafu affirmed.

Ye Qingtian revealed a slight smile: "Alright then, let me give you a good lesson!"

Ye Qingtian got up and walked forward.

Everyone in the finance department was dumbfounded—

No one expected Ye Qingtian to really go up!

Qin Lingyue, Hou Tianlei, and the others were shocked: "Could he really understand chess? He actually saw we hadn’t lost!"

"Seeing it doesn’t help, they only need two more moves to win!"

Someone sighed.

The game continues.

Except Fan Jingyu was replaced by Ye Qingtian.

"Who are you?"

Chiba Chikafu cautiously asked.

"Never mind who I am, I ask you, do you know Asakawa Naonaka?"

Ye Qingtian smiled.

Chiba Chikafu, initially calm and unperturbed, had a drastic change in expression, angrily asking: "Who are you? How do you know him?"

Ye Qingtian did not directly answer his question, instead smiled and said: "In the Japanese Go world, there are seven major titles. Namely, Kisei, Meijin, Honinbo, Judan, Tengen, Oza, and Gosei. Nine years ago, an extraordinary genius emerged in the Tengen matches, winning three consecutive championships, even achieving ninety-nine straight victories, known as an undefeated myth. But that year, an unknown figure appeared, not only winning three consecutive Tengen championships, but also beating all opponents in the highest-level Kisei match!

Yet the Kisei title was not awarded to him, instead he disappeared because of it. Almost no one knows there’s such a past in the Go world!

Everyone only remembers a peerless genius, an undefeated peerless genius!"
