Chapter 1005: Chapter 390: Eternal Wall “Then let me!” Lu Luanti volunteered, her eyes burning bright: “I beat my father at chess when I was little. When I was six, my father’s group was no match for me.” Jian Cangfeng and Chu Xisheng both glanced at her and then looked away in unison. Lu Luanti’s chess skills might be unrivaled in Rumeng Manor, but how much truth there is to that is questionable. Their gaze roamed over Ji Qianqian and Zhoou Liangchen. However, both shook their heads vigorously; Zhoou Liangchen was a martial arts fanatic, and Ji Qianqian’s life was filled with either cultivation or investigations, never touching chess. At this moment, Chu Yunyun smiled gently: “I’ll do it!” Jian Cangfeng looked over at the sound; he heard the assertiveness and indisputability in Chu Yunyun’s words. Jian Cangfeng immediately nodded: “Good! Then let Junior Sister Chu be the commander.” Lu Luanti instantly pouted in grievance. Her chess skills were really excellent; why didn’t these two believe her? However, Lu Luanti had no intention of competing with Chu Yunyun for the commander’s role. If the face she saw in Chu Xisheng’s dream were true. Then the identity of Little Sister Chu beside her might very well be that of the present age’s Military God, who restored the Ice Absolute Two States and swept through thirty thousand miles undefeated! No matter how confident Lu Luanti was, she dared not claim that her chess skills could steadily surpass hers. Chu Yunyun was already assigning roles to everyone: “Senior Brother Jian is the Left Minister, Lu Luanti and Chu Xisheng are the Rooks, Zhoou Liangchen and Ji Qianqian are the Cannons.” The five of them nodded slightly at these words. Chu Yunyun’s arrangement was reasonable. Only Zhoou Liangchen was not adept at long-range attacks, but he had the Lifebound Spirit Pet, Little Xuanwu. This one’s Xuanming Divine Light could freeze someone to death from a great distance! Jian Cangfeng was also very satisfied; he didn’t like facing opponents head-on and staying behind using the ‘Pingtian’ and ‘Measuring Heaven’ swords suited him perfectly. At this time, Divine Turtle Wanderer waved his sleeve again: “The lot has been drawn; you may choose your positions, take and replace!” The two chessboards behind him instantly manifested thirty-six illusory figures. Commander, Rook, Knight, Cannon, Minister, Guard, Pawn, General, Soldier, etc., each with different appearances and costumes. Choosing positions was quite simple, as long as they stood at the appropriate places, these illusory figures would disappear. Sword Qi Xiao Xin Cang Hai Stone fixed his firm eyes on the standing positions of Chu Xisheng and others. First, he looked at Chu Yunyun, wondering, is this mysterious expert this woman? He then shook his head; standing in the commander’s position may not necessarily mean she is the strongest among them. In this chess game, aside from playing, the commander’s role is not very significant. Theoretically, placing that mysterious expert in the positions of Rook, Knight, or Cannon would be more effective. He then swept his gaze over the other two women but still couldn’t determine. No matter, as long as he confronted this woman directly, he would surely be able to test her true identity. “In this battle, I shall be the General; choose as you wish, except for the five pawn positions and the two guards, you can choose one among the Rook, Knight, Cannon, or Minister!” The group behind him exchanged glances. A man with thick eyebrows cupped his fist and asked, “Dare I ask Brother Cang, how are your chess skills?” Cang Hai Stone’s gaze immediately turned slightly cold. These people were not his subordinates but companions temporarily assigned by the Chan Sect. Before entering the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace, he hadn’t met any of them. The thick-browed man’s name was ‘Gold and Silver Hand’ Lie Shenmei, and he was once listed on the Earthly List, staying there for some time twenty years ago, among the strongest of them all. Cang Hai Stone suppressed his displeasure with a light snort: “Chess is a minor art; I studied it for three days in the past and could challenge a court chess master. However, you and the others must obey the chess rules to knock Chu Xisheng and his fellows off the board, or I will certainly take your lives afterward!” His words were laced with a frosty edge, filled with kill intent, causing the five led by Lie Shenmei to change their expressions drastically. Cang Hai Stone then flashed to the General’s position on the black side, gazing at Chu Xisheng and the others opposite: “Let’s begin!” Cang Hai Stone’s injuries had not yet healed. Chapters first released on novᴇlfire.net Yet he was fully confident in using his chess skills to force that mysterious expert into a desperate situation, with the aid of Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, to duel that mysterious expert!
