Chapter 273: Chapter 202 Your Emperor is Back!_3

"That’s Ke Bao, 9th rank, right there!"

"Who could possibly need to ’teach’ him in a match?"

"Unless he’s playing first against the top AI of our time, no one could possibly manage to ’teach’ Ke Bao, 9th rank, could they?"

"As his opponent, he knew all too well the strength of this Eight-time World Champion."

"Although sometimes his moves are quite abstract."

"But when they’re not abstract, they’re incredibly strong."

"Teach Ke Bao, 9th rank? Are you serious?"

Xiao Shen’s tone was full of doubt.

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe it; it was just that the statement was preposterous.

"That’s the online Go Emperor, and it’s not just Ke Bao, 9th rank, who’s in trouble. Li Xuan, the 9th rank, is probably about to deliver some dishes next, tsk tsk tsk."

Shen Lang Ninth Rank didn’t find it absurd at all.

In fact, he even went on to say more.

This exaggerated way of describing it as delivering dishes confused Xiao Shen even more.

Li Xuan, the 9th rank, also a world champion, might be a little weaker than him and Ke Bao, 9th rank, but he’s certainly a player on the same level.

Is he going to deliver dishes in his next match?

And...

The online Go Emperor?

Their opponent is just someone who plays Go online?!

Has the world gone mad, or has he?

At this moment, Xiao Shen always felt like Shen Lang Ninth Rank wasn’t speaking Korean; otherwise, why could he understand yet not fully grasp it?

With complex emotions, he mulled it over.

He quickly followed Shen Lang Ninth Rank to the lobby.

There, everyone was excitedly gathered around a large screen, each holding a Go board and reviewing the game being displayed on the screen.

The buzz was as if they were watching a contest for the top Go player.

He hadn’t had a chance to watch the game.

Before he knew it, Shen Lang Ninth Rank pulled him into another room.

Upon entering, he saw all familiar faces, all Ninth Rank players from Hua Country.

They looked up at the sound.

When they saw it was Xiao Shen entering, their eyes visibly lit up.

"Quick, quick, quick! Xiao Shen!"

"Come and share your thoughts."

Shi Liang, ninth rank, didn’t hesitate to hook Shen Zhenxu’s neck and dragged him over to stand by the live broadcast of the game.

Shen Zhenxu, completely bewildered, steadied his mind.

He seriously looked at the game before him.

On the board, black and white intertwined, creating a complex pattern, but beneath this seemingly calm surface, an irreversible storm was quietly taking shape.

The black pieces, like stars in the night sky, revealed their profound strategic intent from the start, step by step, secure and solid.

As the game deepened, the black force gradually revealed an overwhelming advantage.

The master of the black pieces cleverly used the ancient wisdom of "gold corner, silver side, grass belly," building strong fortresses in the four corners early on, like an eagle overlooking the land, its vision broad, controlling the initiative in the game. The white pieces, though fighting hard to find a breakthrough in the center, were constantly restrained, and each move seemed extraordinarily difficult, like a trapped beast still fighting.

What particularly grabbed attention were the black pieces’ series of exquisite maneuvres in the middle game, nearly every move precisely targeting white’s vital points, not only severing white’s connections but also cleverly eroding white’s potential space, turning its thickness into nothingness.

The shape of the black pieces was like flowing ink, both nimble and solid, with each stone seemingly coming to life, echoing each other, forming an impermeable net, pushing the white pieces little by little into a desperate situation.

As the game progressed, the white pieces’ living space was ruthlessly compressed, with a few lone stones struggling to survive against walls on all sides.

The black pieces, like a general orchestrating from behind the scenes, had already completed the encirclement of the white pieces without a sound. On the board, the advantage of the black pieces was not merely a simple territorial lead but a strategic level of complete suppression, each move exuding an aura of calm domination.

Xiao Shen, quickly grasping the situation, looked up at the eager eyes around him and couldn’t help swallowing involuntarily.

Recalling everything he had seen and heard along the way.

He began to speak slowly, with a tinge of disbelief, "This white... it’s not Ke Bao, 9th rank, is it?"

Although he couldn’t believe that Ke Bao, 9th rank, would play like this.

Everything he encountered on the way forced him to think so.

"Yes."

"With your strength, can you see any way to counterattack?"

Shi Liang, ninth rank, asked earnestly.

If anyone present had the strongest strength, it was definitely Shen Zhenxu who had just come in, his skill no less than that of Ke Bao, 9th rank, on the scene.

With regard to Shi Liang, ninth rank’s expectation.

Shen Zhenxu couldn’t help but fall silent.

Emmm... how to put it?

At this moment, it’s not about counterattacking for the white pieces; it’s about barely surviving without losing too many pieces.

The black pieces’ initiative had been maximized in this game, and what Shen Zhenxu saw was a one-sided battle.

He felt that his skills were definitely not good enough to help the white pieces counterattack.

Just watching such a tragic situation made him sympathize with Ke Bao, 9th rank.

Facing such a game, the pressure must be too great.

Even if an AI were to take over right now, it’s unlikely that it could gain any advantage from the black pieces.

At this moment...

The black pieces had completely triumphed!

"Maybe... let’s try an AI?"

Shen Zhenxu gave this helpless suggestion.

He really had no other option.

Just looking at the plight of the white pieces was making him feel breathless.

Though Ke Bao, 9th rank, hadn’t played any bad moves, the whole game was being manipulated by the commanding moves of his opponent.

"The Go Emperor usually plays three games against real people every day. Ke Bao, 9th rank, took the first one, Li Xuan, the 9th rank, is up for the second, are you interested in the third?"
