Chapter 92: The Flying Knife Has No Handle, Controls Its Edge
"Brother Ni, why are you here?"
It was almost evening when Rui Zhao saw Ni Jue in the dojo and couldn't help but let out a small exclamation.
"What? You don't welcome me over here!"
Facing her junior sister, Ni Jue made a small joke.
"Ah! No, no!" The girl shook her head quickly: "I just thought that top masters like you must be very busy..."
Who would have thought that Li Wangyuan at the side spoke up at this moment:
"Oh my! What a top master! He is only good in the Meijin and Tianyuan tournaments. The rest of the time he is like a puddle of mud, just swinging his hands!
"And Rui Zhao, didn't I tell you last time? You two are not even one generation apart, so you are equals. Don't use honorifics!"
"Oh, okay, Mr. Li!"
Rui Zhao quickly agreed. Then the kitten-like girl looked at Ni Jue cautiously and asked tentatively:
"Then... Senior Brother Ni, shall I call you this from now on?"
"Um...N-No problem."
Ni Jue suddenly understood why so many people outside the circle were willing to watch their junior sister's live broadcast...
Who doesn’t want to have a daughter or sister like this!
Ni Jue, who had originally hoped that her future child would be a boy, suddenly became shaken.
What's wrong with girls? Girls can play Go too!
Even more considerate than that brat!
"Alright, alright! Lao Li, stop talking about irrelevant things and get to the point!"
Yu Qingguang on the side interrupted.
"Then, Rui Zhao will be handed over to you two for the next week! Oh, Lao Lei and I can't stand it for the past half month..."
Yu Qingguang was just joking, but the girl suddenly panicked after hearing his words:
"Uh, yeah, sorry! >People<
"Teacher Yu, Teacher Lei, I have been too willful recently and have caused you so much trouble..."
"Uh, Rui Zhao, you don't have to interrupt me when I say something wrong in the future..." Yu Qingguang added with a stern face.
Li Wangyuan was speechless for a moment:
"Ha! You two just left me all alone, you're really lazy!"
Yu Qingguang counterattacked on the spot: "Huh?! From what you said, Lao Li...can we still sit in on the class?!
"Old Lei! Are you interested in the unique flying knife secrets of the contemporary celebrity Tian Yuan?"
Lei Jingming smiled and said, "Yes! Then I have to listen to this lesson, and then I will teach my son!"
Li Wangyuan was so speechless after being bullied by these two old guys that he could only wave his hands repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, okay! You two can just go home and stay home! I don't need you two old losers here!
"Oh, that's right! You have to be there whenever we need a sparring partner!"
...
...
After "driving away" Yu and Lei, only three people from Li Wangyuan's class were left in the classroom.
Ni Jue glanced at his master and seeing his affirmative nod, he took the lead in starting the conversation.
"Rui Zhao... In this 'City Cup', you really want to beat Bai Yinhua, right?"
"Yes!" The girl's voice did not waver at all. "I find it hard to forgive his intentional resignation! This is simply an insult to the efforts of all chess players who aspire to become professional players!"
Ni Jue nodded: "But, to be honest... although your chess skills have obviously improved during this period, the chances of beating a strong 7th dan who was almost promoted to 8th dan are still too slim."
Rui Zhao lowered his eyes slightly: "This... I know that too.
"But even though the probability of success is very low, I will definitely regret it if I don't try hard!"
This girl... is really ambitious!
Ni Jue's affection for his junior sister grew even stronger.
"Well. Actually... like you, I don't really like what Bai Yinhua did. Unfortunately, I can't teach him a lesson...
"So, I want to help you."
"Help me?" Rui Zhao's eyes lit up: "Brother Ni, can you play more chess with me?"
"Well, that's more than that."
Ni Jue paused and replied:
"I don't know if Master has told you that I have studied Go over the years and have figured out some tricks.
"I want to teach you these tricks now. Although you will still be at a disadvantage when facing Bai Yinhua, you should be able to fight at least..."
Although Ni Jue's words were not very clear, Rui Zhao's eyes immediately flashed with surprise.
Although she practiced Go hard these days, she also learned a lot about the world of Go with her three teachers in the short time gaps.
As a famous Tianyuan and top master, Ni Jue was also the only disciple of Li Wangyuan for a long time, so he was one of the key candidates for introduction. Therefore, Rui Zhao was quite familiar with all aspects of Ni Jue.
And now that Ni Jue said that there was a "trick" that could allow her to fight against a seventh-level master, Rui Zhao immediately understood what this "trick" was.
"Brother Ni, this won't do!"
The girl quickly shook her head like a rattle.
"This is the flying knife you worked so hard on and spent a lot of time and energy researching. How can you just teach it to me like this?"
"What? You don't like it?" Ni Jue raised his eyebrows.
"No! Of course I don't look down on you!"
Rui Zhao explained in a panic.
"But, but this is your trump card, Senior Brother Ni! Your defense of the title depends on it!
"Even Teacher Yu said that you, Senior Brother Ni, are so weak that you have lost thirteen games to Senior Brother Sun Yi. Without these research results, you will lose the two titles of [Celebrity] and [Tianyuan] in a minute! How can you give them away so easily?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the classroom fell silent instantly.
The awkward atmosphere quietly dissipated.
Ni Jue narrowed his eyes and thought about it. Hmm, although it seems that I haven't defeated Sun Yi for a long time...
But they have already lost thirteen games in a row?!
Is that so outrageous?!
Ni Jue felt a sense of unreality for a moment.
Because he focused on research, he lost more than he won when playing against other top male chess players in the country.
But the one who lost more than ten games in a row is really Sun Yi, and there is no other branch.
But, it’s not really his fault.
The reason...actually sounds a bit outrageous.
The reason why Ni Jue lost so many times to Sun Yi in a row is essentially because Sun Yi is indeed the weakest one among the top five in the domestic ranking.
Yes, it’s because Sun Yi is the weakest, so Ni Jue lost the most to him.
Sun Yixian performed poorly in the Masters Tournaments in recent years and this year's Tianyuan Tournament and failed to become a challenger.
He was also eliminated early in last year's Tianyuan Tournament and also failed to meet Ni Jue.
As for other competitions, Ni Jue didn't have a strong desire to win at all, so he naturally played badly every time he encountered an opponent. As a result, he kept losing to the point where he suffered thirteen consecutive defeats, which was an outrageous situation.
Players like Lin Ruixin, Dai Ran, and Xiong Siyi, although they have consistently suppressed Ni Jue in their match results, they have all faced Ni Jue head-on in the Celebrity Tournament or Tianyuan Tournament in the past two years. Naturally, they had to face Ni Jue's flying knives. How could they have such an exaggerated winning streak?
As for Lei Qi, his sudden increase in strength mainly happened in the second half of last year.
Although he has defeated Ni Jue four times in the past year, that’s it for now.
Moreover, it seems that Xiao Lei will soon have to undergo surgery.
However, if you want to know why Sun Yi, who is relatively the weakest, won the newly created title of [Chess Fairy] two years ago and has defended the title ever since...
All I can say is that some auspicious signs really have to be believed.
After a storm in Ni Jue's mind, he couldn't help but look at Li Wangyuan.
Li Wangyuan quickly spread his hands to show that he had not heard of this.
Ni Jue turned his gaze back to his junior sister: "Uh...Did Yu Jiuduan really say that?"
Rui Zhao was stunned, and finally realized that some things couldn't be said so directly, and hurriedly tried to take the blame himself:
"Ah! No, no! I, I remembered it wrongly! This, this is what I thought in my heart, sorry for offending you... Senior Brother Ni, please don't blame Teacher Yu..."
"It's okay. I'm not that petty."
Ni Jue looked normal on the surface, but at the same time, he made the decision that he would kill Sun Yi the next time he met him - no matter how unimportant the game was.
"...Also, tell Yu Jiudan to urge Sun Yi to challenge me as soon as possible. I am optimistic that Sun Yixian will become the next [Celebrity] or [Tianyuan]!"
Seeing that Ni Jue didn't seem to hold any grudge and instead encouraged Sun Yi greatly, Rui Zhao was obviously relieved and a smile appeared on his face again.
"Okay! I'll definitely pass it on!"
Ok……
Yu Jiuduan is right!
This kid is so out of line... If I were to teach him this with my limited knowledge, it would be no surprise if it were to be exposed at any time!
But... we still have to teach!
Ni Jue sighed softly, and then added:
"...But you have to learn the tricks I have figured out!"
"Brother, there's really no need!" Rui Zhao still insisted.
Ni Jue raised his eyebrows and said deliberately:
"Huh? You just said you would try your best to defeat Bai Yinhua, but now I've put the method in front of you and you're scared?"
"I'm not afraid!" Rui Zhao answered without hesitation: "I do want to defeat Bai Yinhua! It's just... I don't think it's right to let Senior Brother Ni teach me such an important thing..."
"What's wrong with this? Just because you've learned this little bit from me, will you turn around and tell your Senior Brother Sun about it?"
"Of course not! I won't tell anyone!"
"That's it! Don't waste time!"
Ni Jue said without allowing any argument:
"And don't feel any psychological pressure. Chairman Shang has promised me benefits for this matter, and I want to take them! Just thank Chairman Shang later."
"Is that so?" Rui Zhao's tone finally wavered when he said this, and curiosity gradually emerged in his eyes.
"Of course!"
Ni Jue did not hesitate.
“That’s right, you really have to promise me that after learning these things, you won’t spread them around.
"Also, apart from Bai Yinhua's chess game, you can't use it anywhere else. Can you agree to that?"
Seeing that Ni Jue had said so much, Rui Zhao finally gave up and answered happily in a low voice:
"Sure! Well, thank you, brother!"
"This is right!"
Ni Jue nodded and then got straight to the point.
“But before I start teaching, there is one thing I need to make clear to you.
“What I am about to tell you is not easy to learn.
"As the saying goes, 'a flying knife has no handle, it controls its edge by itself'. Throwing a flying knife is a test for both parties at the same time.
“Once you don’t study a change as well as the other party, you are likely to end up hurting yourself.
“Although you can save a lot of effort with my previous research as a foundation, it is definitely not easy to master my flying knives in a short period of time.
"Are you ready?"
"Ok!"
The girl's answer was simple and confident!
