Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

Chen Anxia had a premonition that this complete sublimation of his own chess theory might reach an unknown level beyond the top.

Secondly, for Chen Anxia, ​​there is no such thing as a bottleneck in chess. As long as he accumulates enough foundation, his chess skills will naturally improve.

This also means that as long as Chen Anxia continues to exploit players, he will eventually reach the top and stand at the pinnacle of chess.

Chen Anxia knew that day was not far off.

The challenge for players continues.

Although Shidan Toneri lost the match, the players' enthusiasm for challenging Chen Anxia only grew stronger.

Because Chen Anxia was able to defeat a 10-dan player, it means that Chen Anxia's Go skills have reached at least the top-tier level.

The vast majority of players simply don't have the opportunity to play against top-tier players.

This is precisely why many players consider it an honor to play against Chen Anxia, ​​and even use it as something to boast about.

Of course, some players also want to hone their chess skills and broaden their horizons by playing against top-tier players.

Among them, the most fanatical should be the players who are top-notch chess players.

They also gained the most benefits from playing against Chen Anxia.

They might even find a breakthrough opportunity in their match against Chen Anxia.

This is exactly the situation Chen Anxia wanted to see.

In Chen Anxia's eyes, these players were like fat sheep, ready to be fleeced at will.

I wonder what players would think if they knew that what they considered experience packs was being used against them.

Amidst these continuous challenges, yet another title holder has emerged.

The appearance of this title holder naturally caused a great stir among the players.

The player recognized the title holder as the holder of the Throne title—the Rock Isle Throne.

Iwashima Oza's skill level is comparable to that of Judan Toneri, both being at the top-tier level.

Although the principles of Go for the Iwashima King are different from those of the 10-dan Toneri, they are the same in the hands of Chen Anxia, ​​who possesses a variety of top-level Go principles.

Ultimately, after a fierce battle, the Throne of Rock was defeated.

Although players were prepared for this, they were still shocked.

After the Throne of Rock Island, the remaining title holders seemed to have agreed to take turns challenging Chen Anxia.

The first to appear was Yamazaki Honinbo, who held the three major titles of Honinbo, Meijin, and Gosei.

After Yamazaki Honinbo, Kisei Miki Sōji appeared.

Finally, it's time for Tengen Dosai's appearance.

Previously, players had speculated whether Tengen Dozai would make an appearance.

After all, Tengen Dosai is one of the two strongest Go players in the contemporary world of Truth, and his Go skills and reputation are among the best of the contemporary title holders.

Whether such a Tianyuan Daozai will appear and play against Chen Anxia is truly an unknown.

But as it turned out, Tengen Dosai really did appear.

Naturally, the appearance of Tengen Dozai immediately caused a major upheaval among players.

Moreover, the earthquake also affected areas outside the Go community, attracting many enthusiasts to come and watch the game.

As for the result of the match...

Time flies, and before we know it, it's Sunday again.

On this day, Chen Anxia did not go to the Zishui Go Club as usual, but went to the venue of the Chess Saint Cup.

Today is the day the Chess Saint Cup is held.

On this day, Shintaro Ichiyanagi, the winner of the Kisei Cup challenge, will play against Meijin Touya, the holder of the Kisei title.

......

Chapter 202 The End of Hikaru no Go, A New World Begins! (End of Hikaru no Go Volume!)

"World Mission: Stand atop the pinnacle of chess, overlooking all those who play it!"

"Mission requirements: Win any six of the seven major titles: Kisei, Meijin, Honinbo, Oza, Tengen, Gosei, and Judan."

“当前进度：棋圣（50%）、名人（50%）、本因坊（50%）、王座（50%）、碁圣（50%）、十段（50%）...”

"Tianyuan (50%)".

Looking at the system panel that only he could see, Chen Anxia's expression was somewhat emotional.

That's right, Chen Anxia defeated all the title challengers from the Realm of Truth.

Among them, the one who impressed Chen Anxia the most was Tianyuan Daozai, the holder of the Tianyuan title.

The game against Tengen Dosai was definitely the most difficult game Chen Anxia had ever played. It was a fierce battle, and even after the game entered the middle stage, Chen Anxia once wanted to sacrifice a piece and resign.

Because Tengen Dosai's moves are so stable that they leave one feeling hopeless and powerless.

Finally, Chen Anxia used the "Sleeping Dragon Ascending to Heaven" technique of the Daoist School as an opportunity to create the Great Avalanche Pattern, one of the three most difficult patterns to solve in the world.

On the avalanche stage, Chen Anxia and Tengen Dozai engaged in an unimaginably fierce battle.

If it weren't for Chen Anxia's supercomputing talent, he certainly wouldn't have been able to keep the fight against Tengen Dozai on the Great Avalanche Formation.

That's right, it's about staying in a stalemate, rather than winning a decisive battle over a massive avalanche.

As for the outcome of the avalanche, Chen Anxia emerged victorious.

It was through this battle that Chen Anxia seized the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

The reason why Chen Anxia was able to win the Great Avalanche Battle was that at the most crucial moment, Chen Anxia successfully merged the No. 1 and No. 2 fusion chess principles again and completely transformed them into his own chess principles.

"Free and ever-changing flow"—that's the name Chen Anxia gave to this entirely new chess theory that belongs to him.

The reason for this name is that in this ever-changing style, Chen Anxia's playing style and principles are unpredictable and difficult to fathom.

This style and philosophy encompass the stability of Tengen Dosai, the freedom and unpredictability of Dosaku-ryu, the overall control of Rokugo no Go, the strategic vision of Judan Toneri, the aggressive power of Iwashima Oza, and the unpredictability of the universe's philosophy.

At this moment, Chen Anxia had already arrived at the audience area of ​​the Chess Saint Cup.

Not only Chen Anxia, ​​but also many well-known figures and professional players in the Go world gathered here, clearly not wanting to miss the game between Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Meijin Touya.

Among these people, Chen Anxia spotted the figures of Kuwamoto Honinbo and Zama Oza.

While Chen Anxia saw the original Kuwamoto Inobou and the Zama Throne, many others also noticed Chen Anxia's presence.

This included Hikaru Shindo and Sai Fujiwara, as well as Yoshitaka Waya and Tetsuo Kaga.

Because the Chess Saint Cup had already begun, and their seats were quite far apart, they held their tempers and didn't go looking for Chen Anxia.

At this point, they had no idea what remarkable feats Chen Anxia had accomplished in the past two weeks.

At the same time, they couldn't imagine what level Chen Anxia's chess skills had reached.

The game between Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Meijin Touya took place in the Yugen Room, while Chen Anxia and the others in the audience area saw a live broadcast.

The live broadcast was conducted on a huge standing Go board on the stage. Whenever Shintaro Ichiyanagi or Meijin Touya made a move, someone would pass on the location of the move.

Then, the two professional 9-dan players standing in front of the chessboard reproduced the game and provided commentary.

Of course, these two professional 9-dan players are only first-class players. Their skill level and vision prevent them from fully understanding the deeper meaning behind Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Meijin Touya's moves. They can only understand a part of it.

However, most of the audience members were Go enthusiasts, and their Go skills and perspectives were limited.

For them, understanding even a portion of it is enough.

The game of chess began under these circumstances.

In the audience area, Chen Anxia watched Shintaro Ichiyanagi make his moves, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.

Because Chen Anxia saw the shadow of the universe's chess principles in Ichiyanagi Shintaro's moves.

However, Shintaro Ichiyanagi did not grasp the essence of the universe's chess principles, nor could he fully integrate them into his own chess principles, which resulted in Shintaro Ichiyanagi's chess being somewhat ambiguous.

Although Shintaro Ichiyanagi managed to reach the top level with this, it was still not enough to compete with Meijin Touya, who was already firmly established at the top.

Having read this far, Chen Anxia already knew the outcome.

As Chen Anxia had predicted, Meijin Touya successfully defended his title.

The Chess Saint Tournament is a long event, and many people have already left before the tournament even begins.

Chen Anxia waited until the very end, until the end of the Chess Saint Tournament, and until Meijin Touya walked out of the Yugen-maru.

Seeing Touya Meijin emerge from the veil of darkness, Chen Anxia stood up without hesitation and said, "Touya Meijin, I have come as promised. Do you dare to challenge me to a duel?"

Chen Anxia's words were like a tidal wave, immediately causing chaos in the audience area.

In the eyes of most people, Chen Anxia's words seemed too arrogant and presumptuous.

However, in Touya Meijin's eyes, he saw Chen Anxia's absolute confidence and sensed the terrifying chess aura emanating from Chen Anxia that was comparable to, or even suppressed, his own.

Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Touya Meijin's eyes. Feeling the boiling blood and fighting spirit within him, he immediately accepted Chen Anxia's challenge.

The reason for the challenge is that Meijin Touya has just finished a long Kisei tournament, so he needs time to adjust his condition and return to his peak.

Soon, news of Chen Anxia's challenge to Meijin Touya spread, immediately causing a stir in the Go world. All the players who knew about the news began to discuss it heatedly.

While awaiting the day of the duel, two major events occurred in the Go world: Chen Anxia defeated both Zama Oza and Kuwamoto Honinbo.

Furthermore, after Chen Anxia defeated Kuwamoto Honinbo, Kuwamoto Honinbo himself stated that Chen Anxia was already a top-tier player.

This fact has undoubtedly caused another shock in the Go world.

Meanwhile, people are increasingly looking forward to the match between Chen Anxia and Meijin Touya.

Finally, the day of Chen Anxia's duel with Touya Meijin arrived.

In the secluded room of the Go Academy in Japan, Chen Anxia and Meijin Touya sat on opposite sides of the Go table, beginning a game destined to be recorded in the Go world.

This game of chess also proclaimed to the world the existence of the free-flowing and ever-changing style.

As for the outcome of the game...

In a secluded spot, Chen Anxia's expression was somewhat complicated. She took a deep breath and said, "Confirmed to travel to the next world..."
