I Have A Bunch Of Saint Apprentices

0Previously, Shen Jun was still wondering what was wrong with the Spatial Master. Why did he set the difficulty of the second level so high?    

    

The refresh of memories every seven days was simply a sham.    

    

But now, he understood.    

    

It was because the Spatial Master himself was also a stinky chess piece!    

    

If he didn't refresh his memories like this, it would probably take less than three months before no one would be left in the second level.    

    

With that in mind, Shen Jun immediately relaxed a little.    

    

After ending his game, he gathered the disciples again.    

    

"Come, come, come. Master will explain the rules and play of Go to you."    

    

"Do you see the nine overlapping points on the chessboard? This is the Nine Stars of Go..."    

    

Immediately after, Shen Jun told his disciples about the general rules of Go, the winning and losing algorithms, and some of the rules he remembered to start the game.    

    

As for the others who were trapped here, although their eyes were about to turn red, none of them dared to take a step forward.    

    

They still remembered the fate of that person just now.    

    

The expert at the intermediate stage of the Half Emperor was beaten to death with just one strike. He was still lying on the wall and not moving.    

    

They knew very well what they could and could not afford to offend.    

    

It took Shen Jun two hours to explain the complicated rules of Go to the disciples.    

    

While recalling the complicated chessboard, he also recalled the knowledge his Master had imparted to him.    

    

Everyone was lost in thought.    

    

Of course, there were also a few who were more intelligent and had already completely understood it.    

    

The first one to come to their senses was Xie Qilan. "This simple black and white chessboard, plus the 19 chess pieces, can actually evolve into a vivid war."    

    

"That's right." Lee Qinglian also agreed, "This black and white chess piece represents the Yin and Yang of the Eight Trigrams. This Go seems to have simple rules, but it is actually incomparably profound."    

    

"I didn't understand the rules just now, but when I saw Master and the Master of Space playing chess on the chessboard, I was stunned to see a bloody aura!"    

    

"How is this a game of chess? It's clearly a game of strategy. One piece occupies one place, and in the end, it evolves into a battle between two armies. It's simply magical."    

    

Hearing the disciples' heartfelt sighs of admiration, Shen Jun was not only proud of himself.    

    

What a joke. Go was a national treasure that had been passed down for thousands of years on the land of China.    

    

Profound?    

    

Of course!    

    

It was currently around noon, and only half of the day had passed.    

    

The 14 disciples who had just reunited had already used up all their chances to play chess today.    

    

The seven people that Shen Jun had brought in had not even started playing.    

    

After explaining the basic concepts of Go and the rules, he asked Xie Qilan to try it on the chair.    

    

As the pillar of light rose, the chessboard appeared once again.    

    

“Qi Lan, do as I say. Just be my assistant.” Shen Jun stood beside the chair and placed one hand on Xie Qi Lan's shoulder. “Including you, I can play seven rounds with this guy today.”    

    

“I don't believe that I can't win even one round!”    

    

Shen Jun's method was quite innovative.    

    

After all, everyone could see the chessboard, and the chess player himself would not be affected.    

    

Since that was the case, he would use his disciples' chances.    

    

He was just borrowing someone else's hand to place the pieces. The real chess player was Shen Jun.    

    

This time, Shen Jun was still the black player.    

    

Shen Jun's word landed on the upper right star.    

    

The other party also landed on the corner star.    

    

The game of Go was about the golden horn and silver edge grass belly.    

    

In layman's terms, it meant that the four corners of the chessboard were the most important, the edge was secondary, and the center was the belly.    

    

This was also in line with the strategy of the military.    

    

First, they would occupy the surrounding natural defenses. After they had a firm foothold, they would attack the empty belly.    

    

After learning the lesson from last time, Shen Jun did not take the reckless approach this time.    

    

Instead, he steadily took one step at a time.    

    

First, he used three consecutive stars to open up the space on the right side of the chessboard. He made more defenses and stabilized his foundation.    

    

Then, he expanded cautiously.    

    

However, this time, the opponent had changed from his usual calm and steady play style. Just as he was about to stabilize his footing, he began to attack Shen Jun aggressively.    

    

This sudden change caused Shen Jun to frown.    

    

Originally, he had thought that this space only had a fixed chess program and would only follow a certain set of rules.    

    

But now, it seemed that it was not as simple as he had imagined.    

    

This was a bit troublesome.    

    

The only thing that Shen Jun knew about Go was the two winter and summer holidays he had spent in the teenage palace during his junior high school days.    

    

With his amateur strength and the rules of refreshing his memory every seven days, it was definitely not an easy task to crack this space.    

    

Moreover, Go was a game that required a large amount of actual combat experience to improve its level. To improve in a short period of time was no different from talking nonsense.    

    

With his mind in a mess, Shen Jun’s chess style naturally became chaotic.    

    

In addition to the opponent’s frequent attacks, Shen Jun quickly exposed his weaknesses and was slaughtered by a small part of the opponent’s territory.    

    

A small mistake was a thousand miles away.    

    

In this second round, Shen Jun was also defeated helplessly.    

    

Seemingly seeing the change in Shen Jun’s mental state, Xie Qi Lan also comforted him softly, “Master, don’t be anxious. We still have more than a year’s time. I believe that you will definitely be able to bring everyone out of this.”    

    

“Alright, Master, I understand.” Shen Jun took a deep breath and adjusted his anxious mental state.    

    

"Qinglian, it's your turn. Come and play chess with me!"    

    

"Alright!"    

    

In the next half a day, Shen Jun's remaining disciples also came to the chessboard one after another.    

    

Of course, the one who truly played chess was still Shen Jun.    

    

Including the time when he personally played, Shen Jun had played eight games with the Spatial Lord today.    

    

Although it was eight wins and eight losses, Shen Jun did not have no gains.    

    

At the very least, his understanding of the Spatial Lord had deepened a little.    

    

And in the close-range observation, the disciples present had a deeper understanding of Go.    

    

As the second day arrived, everyone also obtained a chance to challenge again.    

    

The others who were trapped here took the lead to sit up and challenge.    

    

They had all seen the few games that Shen Jun played with the Spatial Lord yesterday.    

    

With the cultivators' extraordinary memory, memorizing two or three pieces was naturally not a problem.    

    

In addition, they had been trapped for so long, so how could they endure it? All of them rushed up to try.    

    

However, how could the Dao of Go be comprehended just by watching a few games?    

    

Naturally, the thirty or so people who were trapped were completely wiped out again.    

    

When those unlucky fellows sat up from the chairs, their expressions were as ugly as if someone had died at home.    

    

This was nothing strange.    

    

If they failed the challenge today, their memories would be refreshed again tomorrow.    

    

It was not easy for him to come out with a little hope, but it was all gone just like that.    

    

It would be strange if he was not upset.    

    

Shen Jun, who had been watching the entire time, could not help but frown slightly.    

    

The strength of this Spatial Master seemed to have... improved a little?    

    

Was it an illusion?    

    

No matter what, he could not waste this opportunity to challenge every day.    

    

After the first disciple sat on the challenge chair, Shen Jun began his own game.    

    

After experiencing it personally, Shen Jun finally confirmed it.    

    

It was not an illusion!    

    

This fellow's chess skills had indeed become stronger!
