“So it is Brother Qi; apologies for any disrespect.” Jun Mo Xie bowed slightly.
“The art of chess is originally merely a minor and insignificant talent. There is no harm using it for treating the soul. But if it’s used for a competition to show who is superior, it is rather unsuitable… Brother Mo moved everyone’s souls with a single tune; you’re a person of refined temperament. Could you go for a round with me? Winning or losing is unimportant; just doing your best would suffice.” Qi Wan Jie smiled and said.
All of these were conveyed from his one single sentence alone.
“That would be natural. Brother Qi is not wrong at all; I deeply feel the same. The art of chess is indeed the deepest form of study, but it is just merely an insignificant talent within a small square. Its name truly follows its merit.” Of course, Jun Mo Xie didn’t think this way. The art of chess was not some insignificant talent and was even capable of obtaining national glory in the present days…
But he had to continue the conversation like this. Because Jun Mo Xie felt pissed at the sight of this squinty-eyes before him!
“However, I am not very well versed in the skills of chess and only learnt it for a couple of months not long ago. But… since Brother Qi says that it’s merely some insignificant skills and tricks, then I shall entertain Brother Qi. After all, its just to treat the self and soul and not about winning or losing. I believe I am still capable of winning,” Young Master Jun said.
“Brother Mo sure is humorous… Since Brother Mo also agrees that the art of chess is an insignificant skills, then please don’t blame me for not showing any mercy.” A cold gleam appeared in Qi Wan Jie’s eyes, but he still maintained his poise as he said this in reply indifferently.
“Oh? Not showing any mercy? Brother Qi is a gentlemen, an honest person who doesn’t do anything in the dark. Just that I have a question in advance. If I blame you for not showing any mercy… Then will you show me any mercy?” Jun Mo Xie asked sarcastically.
“Is that so? Brother Qi’s words really make me upset. I originally thought that you were the supreme chess champion, so naturally you’d be above others in your behavior. Even if you can’t do things open and candidly, it wouldn’t be untrustworthy. But I did not imagine that what you’ve said just now was as if you were letting out a fart… Other people who let out a fart will only stink for a while, but you actually even swallowed it right back… I’m truly impressed ah… This sort of skill is truly number one in the world, as expected of the chess champion. You have a fully justified reputation ah, truly, knowing somebody by their reputation can’t compare to meeting them in person. I truly admire and am impressed, I can’t compare ah…”
Jun Mo Xie noticed that he had already successfully destroyed his frame of mind, so naturally he’d take the opportunity to continue dealing flows. The frame of mind was the most important in the art of chess; if the mental state was not stable, even the best national player can lose to a child who had just began playing chess… This was nothing too bizarre…
“Mo Jun Ye!” A look of anger appeared across Qi Wan Jie’s face. “Let’s wait and see who will be utterly defeated and destroyed!”
“Utterly defeated and destroyed? That sounds a little serious. I only have one thing to say; little brother, you’re not allowed to cry if you lose, ah!” Jun Mo Xie said in an extremely serious tone. “Although you are still young, but in this sort of occasion, if you cry because you lost, it’ll really not look good…”
Qi Wan Jie’s face was turning white, and he scoffed heavily. At this moment, one of his followers behind him had already prepared the chessboard and pieces. He stopped bothering with Jun Mo Xie and walked over to the chessboard.
Clearly he could no longer wait to torture this Free and Natural Physique in a game of chess!
Jun Mo Xie may look completely calm, but right now, he was a little nervous. He had only grazed the surface of chess when he was training; although his power of understanding was not too shabby and his abilities at the game were not weak, it was still far from professional players.
With Young Master Jun’s real standard, in the current world of chess, he was only slightly above average standards. There was no problem in dealing with most people, but it’d be difficult for him to obtain victory in competing with real experts of chess.
Because Jun Xie from the previous life also did not manage to complete all this in reality. He could only complete seventy percent of the training the old geezer had arranged…
The old geezer only has one wish—to create an ultimate legend in the world of assassins! Even if that legend decides to stop being an assassin someday, aside from putting down his weapons, he could go and become a doctoral advisor to any subject at any university…
Anyone who heard of this would understand that this was a completely insane and perverse and terrifying plan!
Even now, Jun Mo Xie got a headache recalling all of it!
But after coming to this other world, at the same time as Jun Mo Xie had this headache, he still had boundless gratitude for the cruel training back then… If not for the old geezer forcing him to learn all this with his life, he definitely wouldn’t be able to do so well. Even with the best cheating tool, the Hongjun Pagoda, it wouldn’t work. Without the basic foundations, he’d just be blind and confused with the most invincible martial art manuals…
Looking at Qi Wan Jie who had already settled down into his seat before the chessboard, Jun Mo Xie suddenly gave a peculiar grin. “Brother Qi, are you prepared? A game of chess is a refined activity of the intellectuals. You must be open handed in your acts. You are known as the chess champion of the current generation in the Misty Illusory Manor. If you unfortunately lose in the hands of a nobody like me, it’ll really be ugly ah… Hahaha… Your legendary reputation will all be going down the drain ah…”
“I don’t need you to worry about it!” Qi Wan Jie looked at him darkly. “I believe that my reputation is not easily threatened by any random cats or dogs!”
“Is that so? Brother Qi, you sure are confident ah… Back then, when I was outside playing chess with the Xuan Xuan Continent’s Chess Saint Hua Wu Cuo, Hua Wu Cuo once said a single line that I still remember clearly to this day ah…”
“What? You’ve played against Hua Wu Cuo? What did he say?” Qi Wan Jie’s expression turned serious, and a look of nervousness finally appeared on his calm and tranquil face.
Hua Wu Cuo, the Chess Saint of his own generation in the Xuan Xuan Continent, had gained his reputation as a youth, upholding it for over two hundred years and had never been defeated! If the Nine Nether First Young Master was the legend of Xuan Skills in the Xuan Xuan Continent, this person was the legend in the art of chess in the Xuan Xuan Continent!
At this point in time, Qi Wan Jie completely kept away all his belittlement, and his intention to fight began to rise. His gaze was fixed on Young Master Jun.
“Oh? I said that I once played against Hua Wu Cuo. Why did Brother Qi believe it so easily? What if I had intentionally used his name to oppress you?” Jun Mo Xie asked, narrowing his eyes.
