Chapter 129 - Breaking Ninth Young Master's Dream, Part One

Guan Jiu?

Gu Hai studied the white-robed scion before him, puzzled.

In any case, Gu Hai didn't underestimate Guan Jia. After all, someone who could make the Northern and Southern Weiqi Kings listen to him was certainly not an ordinary figure.

"How about this. I will also let Mister Gu see my weiqi skills conveniently by playing ten games first?" Guan Jiu asked, smiling.

Gu Hai nodded in acknowledgment, with a slightly confused look on his face.

Young Master Guan Qi's subordinates immediately jumped into the air, quickly catching ten endgames and placing them before Guan Jiu.

Guan Jiu swept a glance at the weiqi boards before waving his hands. Immediately after, many weiqi pieces were sucked into his hands.

Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok!...

Suddenly, ten white pieces were placed on the ten endgames.

Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok!...

The ten endgames all started to move.

At the sight of this, all the cultivators in the vicinity looked at Guan Jiu and marveled.

"Ten games? He is playing ten games at the same time?"

"Are you kidding me, ten games at the same time? How is he gonna solve them?"

"He looks absent-minded!"...

Everyone was looking at Guan Jiu in astonishment. Gu Hai, on the other hand, had his eyebrows twitching.

Because the places where Guan Jiu had placed the ten weiqi pieces were the same very positions that he had thought of in his mind.

Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok!...

Another ten weiqi pieces were thrown out before the endgames changed accordingly.

Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok!...

As the ten white pieces fell on the weiqi board for the tenth time...

"Solved, the first game is solved!"

"The second game is solved as well!"

"No, all ten games are solved!"...

Everyone exclaimed in astonishment. Immediately afterwards, the ten weiqi boards transformed into clouds that rose into the air, circling around the enormous floating island in the sky.

"Mister Gu, what do you think?" Guan Jiu asked, a smile on his lips.

Everyone in the vicinity looked at Guan Jiu, shocked. This Guan Jiu is a freak!

How can he solve these endgames which we have been unable to solve so quickly and effortlessly? So calmly! Ten games at the same time!?

This time, Ding Tong personally came to deliver the spirit stones to Guan Jiu.

"Young Master, these are the spirit stones you deserve. You played too magnificently!" Ding Tong came forward, marveling at the accomplishment.

Guan Jiu glanced at Ding Tong with a blackened face. Then, he turned his head around, ignoring Ding Tong completely.

Ding Tong's expression became stiff.

Guan Jiu's subordinate stepped forward right away. "Go away, don't disturb my Young Master!"

Ding Tong's face turned stiffer. Isn't this my Ding Long Clan?

"Patriarch Ding, please don't bother the Young Master!" the Southern Weiqi King pleaded.

"Patriarch Ding, please don't bother the Young Master!" the Northern Weiqi King also implored.

Ding Tong was rendered speechless. "...!"

The two weiqi kings, who could roam in the Thousand Islands Seas freely, were far more famous than Ding Tong. However, both were acting like members of Young Master Guan Jiu's entourage. Ding Tong felt depressed. He finally nodded, looking weirdly at everyone around.

"Mister Gu, what do you think?" Guan Jia asked again, smiling.

"Young Master Guan Jiu, you are extremely skillful!" Gu Hai nodded in acknowledgment.

"Mister Gu, you don't need to b.u.t.ter me up, you too can do the same, it's just that you were reluctant to do it, that's all! Do you want to try a 29x29 game?" Guan Jiu asked with a smile.

"Hmm?" Gu Hai's eyebrows twitched again.

"How many endgames are still there?" Guan Jiu asked.

"Reporting to Young Master, there are still 1,600 endgames remaining!" a subordinate respectfully reported.

"Bring a thousand of them here!" Guan Jiu ordered.

A thousand? Hearing this, everyone's eyes went wide in shock. Has Guan Jiu gone crazy?

"Yes!"

Suddenly, a thousand weiqi boards were pulled down, packing the area in all directions.

Ding Tong's eyes also went wide. What does this Guan Jiu want to do? Is he planning to solve a thousand games at the same time?

Gu Hai also looked at Guan Jiu, stupefied.

However, right then, Guan Jiu slowly took out a crystal stand. The crystal stand seemed to have a whirlpool on it. From the outside, it looked quite strange.

"Put them in!" Guan Jiu ordered.

"Yes!"

His subordinates quickly put a thousand endgames into the whirlpool of the crystal stand. The endgames that were put in the top soon came out from the bottom.

But the endgames didn't change at all. It seemed as if they had only gone through a pa.s.sage. However, the whirlpool inside the crystal stand slowly disappeared, transforming into a 29x29 endgame.

"This?" Gu Hai was taken aback.

"This weiqi stand of mine can lock these thousand endgames into an endgame. Take a look, these thousand endgames have merged most perfectly. Playing this game is equivalent to playing a thousand endgames!" Guan Jiu explained.

Gu Hai looked at the weiqi board there, intrigued.

The weiqi board had twenty lines, horizontally and vertically each in a criss-cross fas.h.i.+on. Many black and white pieces were already placed upon it. Moreover, a thousand endgames were circling around it, as if this weiqi stand had a forcefield that covered those thousand endgames.

"Mister Gu, please!" Guan Jiu invited Gu Hai. There was a smile on his lips.

A complex look showed up on Gu Hai's face as he nodded to Guan Jiu.

The two sat down, looking at the crystal weiqi stand before them.

"Mister Gu, I will move first!" Guan Jiu pursed his lips into a smile.

A puzzled Gu Hai looked at Guan Jiu, but Guan Jiu didn't tarry any further and grabbed a black piece, placing it slowly on the weiqi board.

Tok! Just as a piece was placed, all one thousand endgames in the vicinity started moving suddenly.

Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok!...

A thousand black pieces fell on each endgame. However, the white pieces didn't move at all, as if the endgame had changed.

Guan Jiu slightly smiled and grabbed a white piece before placing it on the crystal stand.

Tok!

Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok! Tok!...

Just like before, a thousand white pieces fell on the thousand endgames subsequently.

"This, Guan Jiu can replace the white side of the endgame and place it himself?"

"How is this possible?"...

All the cultivators in the vicinity looked at this strange scene, flabbergasted.

"From the three thousand endgames, I have only taken a thousand endgames, therefore, the game before you is just one-third of the 29x29 game! Also, there is no backlash from it. Mister Gu, your turn!" Guan Jiu stated with a smile.

Gu Hai nodded as he took a deep breath and carefully looked at the weiqi board.

This game was too mysterious. Looking at it, Gu Hai seemed like he had been enchanted.

The Southern and Northern Weiqi Kings were also staring at this game with wide eyes, they were also seemingly entranced by it.

Tok! Tok!

Gu Hai and Guan Jiu slowly made their moves. And with each move of theirs, the thousand endgames also moved!

Confused as the many cultivators in the vicinity were, they were still watching patiently.

"If that is true, then wouldn't that mean that a thousand endgames would be solved at the same time?" A complex look appeared on Ding Tong's face.

Tok! Gu Hai placed a piece. It was his twentieth move.

Gu Hai suddenly entered a trance-like state. A huge peony had suddenly appeared before him.

With a hum, Gu Hai felt his consciousness entering the peony flower.

BOOM!

Just as his conscious drilled into the peony flower, a loud bang sounded. Gu Hai looked about quickly. He seemed to be standing in a vast ocean, where the wind howled and rain poured down. A tsunami was cras.h.i.+ng straight towards Gu Hai.

"Dreamland?" Gu Hai's countenance changed.

BANG!

Gu Hai was suddenly sent flying by the tsunami.

"Ah~!" Gu Hai screamed in shock as he fell down from the sky.

Gu Hai landed on an island. He looked about in surprise. Everything seems so real, so strange!

"Mister Gu, how perceptive! The twentieth piece, on just the twentieth piece you have actually entered this world of consciousness!" a voice spoke out.

"Hmm?" Gu Hai turned around to look, only to see the white-robed Guan Jiu standing on the island.

"Where am I? Did my consciousness enter this place?" Gu Hai asked, surprised.

"It's the weiqi game you were just playing. If you close your eyes you can leave!" Guan Jiu answered, smiling at him.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly.

With a hum, Gu Hai awakened once more. He opened his eyes and looked about. I am still sitting in the Entertainment Valley of the Ding Long Clan? What is going on?

A smiling Guan Jiu, who was sitting opposite him across the crystal weiqi stand, looked at Gu Hai.

In contrast to the Young Master, Gu Hai had a most peculiar look on his face...
