Tianyuan battle.The last round of Shinto Hikaru VS Kurata Atsushi.

Shinto Hikari, who is only young, actually forced into the final round of the title battle as a third-dan.The significance of this battle to Japanese Go is actually extensive and far-reaching.People often compare this tournament with Ryo Toya's attack on Honinbo. Although Atsushi Kurata and Kuwamoto Inbo are not on the same level in terms of chess strength, it is undeniable that the new wave of Japanese Go has risen strongly.From now on, the chess world will be dominated by these young people.

Although there is still a full hour before the start of the game, there are already many chess players waiting in the game viewing room.This game can be said to have attracted much attention. The young chess players sat in front of the chessboard, either replaying, analyzing, or predicting.The same young genius, Atsushi Kurata is known for being good at surprise attacks. Since the six games, he has been startling every step of the way.But Shinto Hikaru was not affected in any way, except for the rapid chess in the sixth game without warning, the rest were indifferent and calm, and the sudden appearance of the ultimate move was as light as light.Sandanwa's age can no longer explain the strength of Shindo Hikaru.

"Shinto, he is no longer the same person as before..." After the replay, He Gu sighed.The best friend of his youth had unknowingly surpassed them, out of reach.

"Shinto is so different from usual," Ochi said.

"Do you still remember the game between Shinto and Gao Yongxia?" Honda recalled, "At that time, Shinto felt that he had to win... Although there is nothing wrong with being strong, I always feel that he played very depressed and anxious... "

"There is also Twelve and a Half Eyes who lost to Taya last time." Ah Fu said, "but it is completely different now."

"Tell me, why is Shinto suddenly so disregarding his determination to win or lose?" the Men's Association sharply asked.

All the young chess players were speechless for a moment.Later, it was Yijiao who broke the silence.

"I don't know if it's right to say that..." Ikuno said slowly, "But I think it's because——Shinto came out."

Amidst the discussion, Ta Yaliang sat quietly at the front of the observation room, staring at a game of chess on the board.A cup of green tea was on hand, already cold.

"Taya Ryo, what are you looking at?"

Liang looked up.It is Kuwamoto Inbo.This former opponent was staring at the game on the chessboard with burning eyes.

"I'm watching the second game I played with Shinto." Ryo said softly.Ogata sat next to him.

"Oh?" Kuwahara squinted his eyes, looked at every move on the chessboard, and felt a chill in his heart.He is no stranger to this kind of powerful and profound aura that rushes towards his face.He once caught it on Shinto Hikaru, but since that glimpse, it has disappeared without a trace.

"Why did you play this game at this time?" Kuwahara intuitively felt something deep.

"To seek an answer." Liang said word by word.He said it through gritted teeth.

The door of the observation room was pushed open again, and a brilliant golden light flashed across.

"You all arrived so early!" The whirlwind-like hearty voice.

Bright stood up abruptly.

┄…┄…┄…┄…┄*

As soon as Hikaru opened the door, he met Liang's eyes at the same moment.Straight past the light, he looked at Zuo Wei behind him, his green eyes shone with extraordinary brilliance, a little bit of surprise, but he couldn't hide his stubbornness, so solemn and enthusiastic!

However, that gaze became colder than the tip of a needle the moment it was cast towards the light!

Light's heart suddenly went cold.

—he knows!

Hikari subconsciously turned his face away, feeling his heart beating heavily.

The light is clear, he can't hide.For the promise that afternoon, he owed an explanation to Ryo Taya.

A bit of chill uncontrollably spread from Guang's chest.Just like in the summer vacation many years ago, in the three-handed match of the middle school team competition, he made that immature move on his own initiative.

why?Today's Hikari Shindo has aspired to the top of Tianyuan, and he is no longer that ignorant kid who was so excited that he overturned the chessboard!

He shouldn't be afraid...he has no reason to be afraid!

┄…┄…┄…┄…┄*

From the moment Zuowei appeared, Kuwahara's eyes were firmly locked on him.Yes, it was the familiar, ephemeral aura of a king that was as fleeting as a shock, which was displayed by this young man in palace attire.

Ogata Seiji also stood up, but saw Yuriko who was following behind Sakai.Yu Lizi looked at him with the same indifferent and alert gaze as before.All Ogata Seiji's words were blocked back in his throat by that expression.

He never knew that a single expression of his sister was enough to make him speechless, and for a moment he had the illusion that all the competition on the chessboard was meaningless.

"I've invited you to play games many times." Liang's voice was hoarse and trembling, as if trying to restrain his excitement, "Why did you refuse?"

Someone in the observation room had already noticed the unusual atmosphere among the few people, and they all looked over.Everyone's eyes fell on Zuo Wei.

Zuo Wei smiled slightly: "Because, I look forward to face-to-face with you, Xiao Liang!"

A simple sentence reveals an irresistible profundity and majesty like ice and snow.Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and the observation room was silent for a moment.

who is he?Why is the light inseparable from him, as if he is a thousand times more important than the upcoming chess game?Why did you show such awe-inspiring expression?

"...Shinto," until Ikaku broke the silence, "won't you introduce us?"

Only then did Hikaru wake up like a dream, showing a proud and energetic smile: "This is Satoshi Fujiwara, my teacher—"

"That's—sai!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.No, it is far from being "surprised", it is like a stone stirring up thousands of waves, and it is like a fire ignited between the electric light and the flint——

"Sai?!"

"Fujiwara Sakai?"

"Shinto's teacher?!"

……

Sai's sudden appearance was like thunder.He Gu couldn't even stand the secret, so he jumped up and punched Guang in the chest hard: "Wow, you boy, don't tell us such important news!"

Guang hurriedly took a few steps back, and sneered: "I, didn't I say that..."

"Your chess game is already eye-catching, do you want to occupy the entire "Go Weekly" page now?!" He Gu yelled loudly, and met Zuo Wei's smiling eyes again, and a sudden surge of joy in his heart With embarrassment and awe, "I'm sorry...I, I am zelda...sai...no, teacher..."

"I know." Zuo Wei couldn't help covering his lips and laughing out of He Gu's mouth gaping, "He Gu, call me Zuo Wei."

Where did Hegu dare to call Sai's name directly, his whole face flushed even more at this time, and he was even more nervous than when he was with Mr. Morishita.

"Sai?!"

Several high-level chess players walked into the game room one after another, Morishita, Ichiyanagi, Serizawa... They heard the sound of the explosion in the room from a distance. Needless to say, the appearance of Sai also made them stand still. On the spot——the handsome man who laughed at Yan Yan in front of him, but in just two decades, turned out to be Sai with a unique skill? !

All the young chess players came forward in a swarm and swallowed up Guang and Zuowei.Yuriko was stunned by the situation in front of her, and kept tugging on Sakui's sleeve nervously, as if she was afraid that he would be suffocated by the crowd.Naturally, everyone didn't dare to "make trouble" in front of Zuo Wei, so they had to point their fingers at Guang, who had always been familiar with them.

After answering many questions reluctantly, Hikaru began to regret—why did he announce Zuowei's identity without thinking more about it?

Sai showed up, came to see Mitsumi's game - everyone was talking, everyone was discussing, every corner of the game room was packed, and the hallway was full of hurried footsteps at all times .Hikari even saw Furuse's flashing lights.He felt that he was about to collapse, and began to wonder whether he should drag Zuo Wei to escape from this terrifying observation room...

However, among all the people, only one person stood at a distance like aloof.

That is Taya Ryo.

Light has been watching brightly.He actually hoped that Taya Ryo would come forward with a yell like Kazuya, or respectfully lead Saoi to the front position like Ikaku.However, Ta Yaliang didn't look at them any more, just sat there, looking down at the chess game on the board, almost indifferently.Hikaru felt a fluster for no reason—how did he know that Sai belonged to Sai?And why didn't he come forward and ask?

Taya, just wait... I will definitely tell you the truth.

"Guang, go to Youxuan Room to prepare." His hands were tightened, and he met Shang Zuowei's gentle and expectant eyes.Only then did he return to normal thinking.He reluctantly let go of Zuo Wei's hand.This was the first time they separated after Zuo Wei came back.

"You are not allowed to leave again..." There was infinite nostalgia in the big amber eyes. Needless to say, it made people feel the deep bond between the two.

Zuo Wei smiled softly: "I'll wait for your review, Guang."

"I'll be here too." Yuriko said sincerely, "So Shindo, you can go to the competition with confidence."

Only then nodded in relief.He walked out of the observation room, took out the folding fan from his backpack, clenched it firmly, and walked towards Youxuan Room.

Zuo Wei, without you, I wouldn't be able to play chess.

You are the origin, opponent, and goal of my chess.

You are the miracle of my life, you give me dreams and beliefs, you are the ultimate meaning of my chess.

Zuowei, please watch my game carefully!
