Chapter 468
Entering the 9th Floor of the Demon Suppression Tower
In the crowd, Qi Luoyou looked at the chess game with a very serious expression, and his hands hidden under his sleeves kept shaking.
With his keen eyesight, it was not difficult for him to see the ins and outs of these Go rules. In his opinion, these Go rules were much better than the traditional 17-line Go.
He asked himself, next he would definitely play 19-route chess with others, which has more variations and tests more wisdom, and he would never touch the simpler 17-route chess again in his life.
Compared with 19-line chess, 17-line chess is simply a child's game.
The popularity of the 19-Route Chess method in this world has become inevitable, the 17-Route Chess method will be eliminated in the long river of history, and the Gu practitioners who practice one of the ways of chess will be collectively strengthened today.
He couldn't help but be alarmed. The appearance of chess before had already strengthened the Gu cultivator who was practicing chess.
It has only been a short time, but his chess skills have actually improved again. Where on earth do so many evildoers come from? He thought in shock.
……
As time passed, the game finally came to an end.
Xiong Zhan's fingers trembled, and the chess piece in his hand fell weakly and landed heavily in the chess pot.
He actually lost. Even when his opponent gave him nine pieces, he actually lost. His eyes were full of disbelief.
He was a pretty good chess player, but his opponent kept using strange moves that he had never seen before. The chess-playing style of this chess Gu seemed to be not from this world, and it was extremely unfamiliar to him.
The unfamiliar chess moves and the unknown rules of the game caused him to suffer a great loss. In the end, he made a fatal mistake accidentally. He fell behind step by step. Slowly, his big dragon was slaughtered by his opponent, and he lost the whole game.
"Haha! Thank you for letting me win! Thank you for letting me win! Please welcome the next victim, it will still be Jiuzi! Who will be tortured?"
Long Xuan shouted to the crowd with an arrogant look on his face.
He had never expected that the chess bug could win even after giving his opponent nine pieces.
Since that was the case, he became arrogant and prepared to use provocation to force more people to come and play chess with him.
His provocation really worked. The crowd below was immediately enraged. An old man at the back immediately shouted, "Let me play nine moves! Haha! Let me play nine moves. No one has ever played against me like this before. It's really new."
Long Xuan looked towards the old man. When he saw the appearance of his opponent clearly, he was immediately shocked and couldn't help but groan in his heart.
Oh my god, the person who came was actually Qi Luoyou. Letting Qi Luoyou have nine pieces is just courting death. This game is definitely lost. He silently mourned for the chess bug in his heart.
……
A day passed quickly, and the chess worm was determined to make nine moves, and finally ended up with two wins and two losses, playing from morning to night.
With the booming business in his store, it would not take long for him to close down. It would not be delayed for even a day. However, the chess bug wasted a lot of time playing chess.
Playing Go is a game that wastes a lot of time, especially since the chessboard has become larger and there are more chess pieces on the board. It will undoubtedly take more time to play a game. It is normal to spend several hours on a game of Go.
Under such circumstances, the Coffee Gu Store insisted on delaying its closing until the evening. The group of Gu practitioners who were chased out of the door by him were still not satisfied and kept looking back reluctantly.
The way to play Nineteen-Route Go is really exciting and fun. They watched it for a whole day and felt very thrilled. The new Go rules have completely conquered them and made them obsessed to the point where they can't help themselves. They are addicted.
After they left, they immediately made a 19-way chessboard and sat in various places in the city to play chess against each other, completely forgetting about going home and the passage of time.
Their game once again attracted the attention of passers-by on the street. Seeing the different chessboards, many passers-by were surprised and stopped to watch. For a while, exclamations were heard everywhere. The new Go rules were spreading in all directions at an astonishing speed on this day.
What no one knew was that after Qi Luoyou returned to the Chess Academy, the dean of the branch immediately made the astonishing decision to abolish the seventeen-line chess game, ordering all students to play the more difficult nineteen-line chess game in the future, and that the refining of chess Gu must also be based on the nineteen-line chess game rules. Not surprisingly, such a decision caused quite a stir in the academy.
At this time, Long Xuan ignored the sensation that the 19th Road Chess game was gradually causing in the city. After closing and locking the shop, he immediately walked towards the Holy Gu Academy with the black card in his pocket.
Having already had the experience of entering the Holy Gu Academy, it didn't take long for him to arrive at the tall black tower. He looked up with shock in his eyes that was difficult to conceal.
He clenched his fists, suppressed his fear of what was under the tower, and walked into the tower without hesitation.
He had a hunch that as long as he practiced in this tower, he would be able to break through to the peak of the spiritual sea in no time.
However, when he reached the door, he was stopped by two black-clothed gatekeepers at the Gu King level. He was greatly shocked and secretly sighed that the Holy Gu Academy was really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The Gu Kings, who were rarely seen outside, were guarding the gate here, and there were two of them.
It is not difficult to guess that these two people must be asking for the black card from him. The Nine-story Demon-Suppressing Tower is a holy place for cultivation. Not everyone can enter it casually.
Before the two of them could ask, Long Xuan took the initiative to hand over his black card.
The black-clothed Gu King took the black card in his hand, examined it carefully, looked up at Long Xuan, and said playfully:
"It turned out to be Xiong Zhan's black card. It seems that he knew that you wouldn't be able to stay in the Nine-story Demon Suppression Tower for long, otherwise he would never give you the black card with three chances left."
Hearing this, Long Xuan frowned slightly. What did this mean? Could it be that the time for practicing in the Nine-story Demon Suppression Tower would be very short? Could it be that he was being tricked?
He frowned and asked, "He estimated that I wouldn't be able to cultivate in the Nine-story Demon Suppression Tower for long. What does that mean?"
"Haha!" Another black-clothed Gu King chuckled and said, "It's very simple. In order to prevent students from sending all their relatives to the Nine-story Demon Suppression Tower for training, the academy stipulates that each student can only bind one black card."
"Black cards are real-name cards, and you can't apply for more than one at a time. You're only allowed to apply for a second card if you lose it."
"In this way, although the geniuses of the Holy Gu Academy can lend the black cards to their relatives, by doing so they will also lose the opportunity to practice in the Black Tower."
"Of course, most Gu cultivators will not lend their black cards to others easily, unless the person who borrows the black card cannot last long in the Nine-Layer Demon Suppression Tower. Only then will they be generous."
Hearing this, Long Xuan suddenly realized that he had indeed been tricked by Xiong Zhan. He thought that he would not be able to stay in the Demon Tower for long, so he generously gave the black card to himself.
But wasn't he underestimating himself a bit? He had never understood himself, yet he dared to assert that he wouldn't be able to hold out for long in the Nine-story Demon Suppression Tower? He really didn't know the real thing! He would have to pay the price for his short-sightedness.
“Excuse me for asking, but how long do you think you can last in the Nine-story Demon Suppression Tower?” The black-clothed Gu King looked at Long Xuan jokingly.
Long Xuan stretched out a finger.
"Is it just one hour? That's too short!" The Gu King laughed, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
Long Xuan shook his head and said pretentiously: "Wrong, I mean to practice all the time!"
After saying this, he put away the black card whose number had changed from three to two, and walked towards the nine-story Demon Suppressing Tower.
He was not joking when he said this, he had already made up his mind to go into seclusion in this Feng Shui treasure land and would never come out again until he reached the peak of Gu King.
Since Xiong Zhan dares to look down on me, I will just let him wait outside.
Hearing this, the two black-clothed Gu Kings couldn't help but twitch their lips. They could actually keep practicing. They were really good at bragging. (End of this chapter)
