Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

"Really? Proyu is a professional 7-dan Go player?"

"It's true, this news was spread by Yu Zhengyan's disciple, and Yu Zhengyan himself has admitted it."

"My God, if Proyu really is a professional 7-dan Go player, then how strong must Sai be to defeat Proyu?"

......

America.

When Ada (formerly known as Ada) learned that Proyu was Yoo Jung-yeon, a professional 7-dan Go player from South Korea, she was momentarily stunned.

Ada's friend Aaron was also stunned upon hearing the news, and couldn't help but ask, "To make a professional 7-dan player resign in the middle game, does that mean Sai is a top-tier professional 9-dan player?"

Ida snapped out of her daze after hearing Aaron's words.

However, Ida did not answer Aaron's question.

Because Ida didn't know the answer either. To be more precise, this question was clearly beyond the scope of what amateur players like Ida and Aaron were capable of.

Then, Ada asked, "Aaron, do you still think Sai is GG?"

Previously, Aaron was convinced that Sai was GG.

But after Sai demonstrated such terrifying chess skills, will Aaron still believe it?

Ada was very curious about this, which is why she asked the question.

After hearing Ida's question, Aaron fell silent for a moment, clearly no longer convinced.

Then Aaron replied, "I don't know."

"But in my opinion, this possibility is still very high."

"Because compared to Sai, who can defeat a professional 7-dan player, GG is much more mysterious, so mysterious that he is unfathomable."

"So, anything is possible with GG."

Ida nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Ida agrees with Aaron's opinion on GG.

Then Ada logged into the online Go platform, opened her following list, and found GG's name.

Looking at the dim name on the computer screen, Ada couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, GG hasn't been online since Sai appeared."

"If Sai isn't GG, then what was GG doing during this time?"

Kyushu.

Lu Li became interested in online Go after the GG incident.

Naturally, Lu Li noticed the recently rising star Sai and watched the entire match between Sai and Proyu.

However, Lu Li had only just been promoted to professional first dan, and his skill level was too immature compared to Sai and Proyu. He simply couldn't understand the game between Sai and Proyu.

Even so, Lu Li could still sense the power of Sai and Proyu.

This power was so great that Lu Li couldn't even muster the will to resist.

Therefore, after the game ended, Lu Li showed the game record to Huang Yuetian, hoping to get Huang Yuetian's guidance.

Huang Yuetian didn't pay much attention at first, but as Lu Li reviewed the situation, Huang Yuetian's expression gradually became serious.

Furthermore, Huang Yuetian seemed to have discovered something, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face.

Time passed slowly, and after the review was over, before Lu Li could even speak, Huang Yuetian let out a heavy sigh and said, "In this game, Sai demonstrated the skill of a top-tier player."

"However, I feel that Sai is holding back and hasn't used her full strength."

"No, it should be that Proyu simply cannot make Sai use her full strength."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li couldn't help but tremble.

According to Huang Yuetian, the strength of a top-tier player is not Sai's limit. So, could Sai's limit be... the strength of a top-tier player?

Ignoring Lu Li's reaction, Huang Yuetian continued, "The most incredible thing is the chess principle shown by the black player."

"If I didn't know that Honinbo Shusaku was no longer alive, I probably would have thought that Sai was Honinbo Shusaku himself."

"And this is Honinbo Shusaku, who has mastered modern opening moves and techniques..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li's mind was shaken once again.

Although Lu Li is not from Japan, he knows Honinbo Shusaku very well and is aware of how terrifying Honinbo Shusaku is.

After calming himself down, Lu Li couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, there's a viewpoint in the online Go community that Sai is GG. What do you think?"

Huang Yuetian was taken aback upon hearing this.

To be honest, Huang Yuetian hadn't really thought about it that way.

Afterwards, Huang Yuetian fell into deep thought and began to ponder the question.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Yuetian said, "Sai shouldn't be GG."

“I felt pressured and stressed when facing Sai’s moves.”

"But I don't feel that way when facing GG's moves."

"Although GG's playing style is varied, his skill level is far from Sai's."

"Of course, GG might be hiding his true abilities, but no matter how much GG tries to hide them, I should be able to see through some tricks, unless GG has already reached that unknown level of chess god."

Lu Li did not expect Huang Yuetian to say such a thing.

It should be noted that Huang Yuetian's chess skills have reached the level of a top player. Looking at the current Go world, there is only one and a half rivals.

Touya Meijin counts as one, and Kuwabara Honinbo counts as half.

But now, Huang Yuetian actually felt a sense of oppression and pressure from Sai's moves, which means...

Thinking about it, Lu Li couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, if you were to play against Sai, what would the outcome be?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuetian immediately replied, "If I were to play against Sai right now, I would be 100% confident of defeating him."

"Because Sai is still learning modern opening patterns and moves, and has not yet fully integrated modern opening patterns and moves into Shusaku's style."

"But if Sai completely integrates modern opening patterns and moves into Shusaku's style, then I cannot predict how the game will turn out."

On the other hand, in the Go world of the island nation.

The Go Association of the island nation.

Yoshitaka Wagaya stared blankly out the window, muttering softly, "Is Sai really a deadbeat? Is he Chen Anxia...?"

At Ogata Seiji's home.

Ogata Seiji stared at the computer screen in front of him, watching the game between Sai and Proyu, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that Sai is the kid who played against Akira using the Shusaku style?"

Kuwahara Inbo's home.

After playing against GG, Ryoma Kuwahara became interested in Go.

Although I'm not very interested, it's always good to have some interest.

At this moment, Kuwabara Ryoma was playing Go against Kuwabara Honinbo's disciple, while Kuwabara Honinbo watched this scene with satisfaction.

Then, Honinbo Shusaku turned his gaze to the game on the board before him, his expression grave, and murmured, "Sai, what exactly is your relationship with Honinbo Shusaku...?"

Most people only know Honinbo Shusaku by name, but they don't know that Honinbo Shusaku's real name is... Kuwabara Torajiro!

Chapter 171 The Turmoil Caused by Chen Anxia! (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

The outcome of the inter-school Go league is not important to Chen Anxia, ​​nor does he care about it.

So after playing against Ryoko Kurozuki, Chen Anxia left the private Kyoukai Middle School.

As for the challenges from other players, Chen Anxia had already made arrangements. The time was not today, and the location was not at the private Haiwang Middle School.

The subsequent inter-school Go league caused quite a stir as more and more people recognized Ryoko Kurozuki's identity.

Although Ryoko Kurozuki's Go style has not yet fully solidified and she has not yet truly entered the professional arena.

However, with the added advantage of Tengen Dosai's Go principles, Kurozuki Ryoko already possesses strength comparable to a professional first-dan Go player.

This level of skill is undoubtedly among the best of the participating students.

Of course, the reason why Ryoko Kurozuki caused such a stir was not only because of her own skill level, but also mainly because other players did not want to face the principles of Tengen Dosai.

For them, Tengen Dosai's principles of Go were so solid that they were tormented, powerless, and even despairing.

It was amidst this turmoil that the inter-school Go league came to an end.

Because of the hype generated earlier, many players are paying attention to this inter-school Go league.

Therefore, after the inter-school Go league ended, some players became curious about the process and results of the league.

Amid the players' curiosity, those who participated in the inter-school Go league also began to reveal details about the league online.

Among them, Ryoko Kurozuki was mentioned most frequently and had the highest popularity in related topics.

This is something that players would consider perfectly reasonable.

After all, behind Ryoko Kurozuki stands Tengen Dosai, who stands at the pinnacle of Go.

As for the results of the inter-school Go league, Ryoko Kurozuki's school, Hase Junior High School, won the final championship.

Players were only curious about the rewards for the consecutive missions that Kurozuki Ryoko received, and did not question the outcome.

However, since Ryoko Kurozuki herself did not come forward to answer the questions, no matter how curious the players were, they could not find out the rewards for the consecutive quests that Ryoko Kurozuki had obtained.

However, although Ryoko Kurozuki herself did not come forward to answer questions, other players who participated in the inter-school Go league revealed the rewards they received for completing the tasks.

Among the rewards they revealed were the universal currency of the "Hikaru no Go" game, "Hikaru no Go Points," and various items...

As time passed and players' curiosity cooled, the popularity of topics related to Ryoko Kurozuki and the inter-school Go league continued to decline.

Under these circumstances, a sudden and unexpected upheaval occurred.

The source of this turmoil is Chen Anxia.

The cause of this uproar was that some players posted pictures of the opportunity missions they had received online.

After this player posted it, other players quickly replied in the comments.
