Chapter 458
: Heaven-Defying Chess Gu
A fierce battle had just taken place here, and Long Xuan was afraid of attracting someone, so he did not stay here. He cleaned up the spoils left on the battlefield and left quickly.
Hua An's storage ring was obviously of a very high level and was not blown to pieces. Needless to say, Hua An's wealth was enormous. Long Xuan found a lot of good things in it and made a small fortune.
Half a month later, a huge city appeared in Long Xuan's sight within the territory of Xuanyuan Empire.
He took out the map and looked at it, muttering, "Is this the famous Holy Gu City?"
"The Holy Gu Academy is located in the Holy Gu City. After a month of traveling, we finally arrived."
Long Xuan smiled slightly and was about to enter the city when he saw a white-haired old man suddenly appear in front of him, looking kind and gentle.
The old man first looked at Zhu Jiuge behind him, then looked at him. After looking him up and down for a few times, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Young man, I am her master, please leave her to me! Thank you for your care along the way." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Seeing that Zhu Jiuge behind him did not react, Long Xuan carried her to the old man.
Although Zhu Jiuge was unable to move, he was still conscious and could hear people talking outside.
Since she had no obvious reaction, it must be that this old man was her master.
"Senior, I wonder if Zhu Jiuge's injury can be completely cured!" Long Xuan said after handing Zhu Jiuge to the old man.
"It doesn't matter. As long as we eliminate the divine power left in her body by the artifact, there are a hundred ways to heal her injuries."
The old man stuffed a pill into Zhu Jiuge's little mouth, then handed her to a beautiful woman behind him and left her alone.
Long Xuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Such a difficult injury was so simple? Just feed a pill and it would be fine?
"My last name is Qi Luoyou, and I love playing chess the most. I see that you have a good chemistry with me. Would you like to play a game of chess with me?"
As the old man spoke, he waved his sleeves before Long Xuan agreed, and a stone table and a pair of stone chairs appeared between the two of them. A chessboard was carved on the stone table, and a box for chess pieces also appeared in the center of the stone table.
Seeing this scene, Long Xuan understood that his opinion was not important at all. No matter what, he had to make the decision for today's game and could not refuse.
He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Where did this weird old man come from? How could he force others to play chess with him?
Qi Luoyou? This name sounded familiar, and Long Xuan's heart suddenly moved.
Although he was not well-informed, he had heard of the most famous and powerful people in Middle-earth.
This Qi Luoyou is well-known throughout the Gu world. Looking at the entire Western Region, his fighting power is enough to rank among the top ten.
Qi Luoyou has a very powerful poisonous insect, which is called Qi Gu, and the amount of its materials exceeds tens of millions.
Chess Gu is a kind of male and female Gu. The male Gu looks exactly like the chess pieces, with the black chess pieces being male and the white chess pieces being female.
People who possess chess Gu like to use it to play chess against geniuses from all sides. As long as they win a game against a genius, the fate of the genius can be bound to one of the chess pieces.
The higher the future achievements of this genius, the stronger the chess Gu will be.
However, this ability is only effective against the weak, not the strong, and the number of chess pieces is limited. Once a chess piece is bound to a person's fate, it cannot be changed for a lifetime.
This means that people who possess chess Gu cannot take shortcuts by looking for top Gu Kings to play chess with, but can only search the world for geniuses who have not yet grown up and share their fate by playing chess.
This tests the chess Gu owner's ability to judge people. He must have a keen eye to identify pearls and find a genius who can become a talent in the vast sea of people. Otherwise, if this genius cannot become the top Gu King in the future, or is particularly fond of seeking death and dies midway, then one of the chess Gu will be completely useless.
Therefore, the strength of the chess Gu is completely related to the host's ability to judge people. If all chess pieces are bound to the fate of a monstrous genius, and all the monsters grow up, then the owner of the chess Gu will be invincible.
If most of the people who play chess with the chess Gu owner are mediocre, then the chess Gu will be pitifully weak, and it can be so weak that there is no lower limit.
No one in this world dares to guarantee that someone can become a strong person, and there is no way to guarantee that a genius will not die prematurely.
There are limited chess pieces, and Qi Luoyou doesn't dare to use the limited number of places to gamble on the fate of others, so he sneaks into the Sheng Gu Academy, becomes a mentor, and recruits many disciples.
Rather than searching the world for geniuses you don’t understand, it’s obviously much more reliable to train a genius yourself.
When selecting geniuses, he first looked at their character and then their talent. Those who liked to seek death were not accepted. Gradually, he recruited a group of geniuses who took the word "cowardly" to the extreme. Under his teaching and example, every apprentice around him was particularly cowardly.
This group of geniuses had a high survival rate, and coupled with his reckless investment of resources, it was no surprise that these geniuses eventually grew up.
It is said that one hundred and eight of his disciples have become Gu Kings. After becoming famous, they are scattered all over the world, and each of them has extraordinary fighting power.
In this case, one can imagine how strong the combat power of Qi Luoyou's chess Gu is.
Not to mention his other poisonous insects, just his chess poisons, among which at least one hundred and eight chess poisons are already top-grade poisonous insects with powerful combat power.
Even if others are very talented, they can only have more than ten top-grade poisonous insects at most. But this person carries 108 top-grade poisonous insects in just one chess Gu. Who can beat him?
With so many top-quality poisonous insects, Qi Luoyou is invincible. With a bunch of top-quality poisonous insects in his hands, he easily became one of the top ten strongest people in the Western Regions and became the most famous person at that time.
The disciple that Qi Luoyou accepted most recently is Zhu Jiuge. Zhu Jiuge has the doom Gu, so it is difficult for him to die, and his future will be bright. By accepting this disciple, Qi Luoyou will definitely get another top-quality Gu worm chess piece.
At this time, Long Xuan couldn't help but sigh that Qi Luoyou was really good at judging people. How could he see at a glance that he would be a talent in the future and insisted on asking him to play chess? His vision was really sharp. No wonder he created so many top-quality chess pieces.
This chess Gu has met a wise master. In his hands, the chess Gu will have infinite possibilities in the future.
Hearing Qi Luoyou's words, the beautiful woman behind him was shocked. Qi Luoyou only bet on his own apprentice and seldom played chess with geniuses outside.
There are limited chess pieces, and Qi Luoyou is reluctant to waste even one. Therefore, every time he looks for a genius from outside to play chess, he makes his move only when he is absolutely sure. How capable is this guy that Qi Luoyou is so optimistic about his future.
"Master! We have plenty of time. To be on the safe side, should we observe him for a while? Although he is already in the late stage of the Spiritual Sea at a young age and has great talent, what if he likes to commit suicide?"
The woman frowned slightly and immediately sent a soul message.
Qi Luoyou shook his head and replied with a smile through soul transmission: "No need, the person who can easily kill Hua An must be a monster. Looking at the entire Gu world, there are not many geniuses who can match him."
"A genius of this magnitude could be famous throughout the Gu world, but I have never heard of him. It's like he appeared out of thin air, and there is no trace of him in the world."
"This can only mean one thing, that he is extremely low-key, regards fame and fortune as dirt, and is as steady as an old dog."
"It's rare to find a genius who can survive to his level. His survival rate must be extremely high."
"I'm very optimistic about his future! This top-quality chess piece is a must-have. Maybe he can become the brightest piece on my chessboard!"
Qi Luoyou raised his lips and said confidently. (End of this chapter)
