Chapter 585: Celestial Chess (2/2)

Even if you wish to consoleinto the noise, Hong shi+ said, ”Alright, regardless of how it is, given that Zhang shi+ has memorized the contents of more than twenty thousand books, as can be proven by the shattering of the Book of Emptied River, I hereby announce that he has cleared the test Is there anyone with any objections?”

”None at all”

The crowd hurriedly shook their heads

You ! The other party read twenty thousand books and even crippled the Book of Emptied River Even if ere to have objections, would you listen to them?

”Un, since that's the case, let's ence!”

Hong shi+ turned to look at the re participants

”Even with the support of a teacher, the path of cultivation is ultimately individual Other than hard work and talent, ence Even when studying the same cultivation technique or battle technique, different students will interpret it differently and thus, the extent of benefit they could derive from it would differ as well One can easily become a master teacher with talent, but to wish to beco solely on that, I can tell you it's nigh ience is crucial to walking further as a ence is indeed important to a ence? Will they be given a cultivation technique to analyze?

”But analyzing a cultivation technique would make the test biased toward so levels of compatibility with a specific cultivation technique, and besides, talent and wisdom also counts in it as well It doesn't seeence and test it as itself!”

The croas puzzled

Intelligence is of utmost importance to a master teacher, everyone present here could make the association However, such a quality couldn't be quantified easily, and given such, how could comparisons be hing knowledge, how can youto coence would surely find it easier to coned with his constitution as compared to a person whose constitution is incompatible with the technique

”Hehe, I understand your concerns, and I've thought a lot about this issue as well”

Noticing everyone's worry, Hong shi+ chuckled, and with a wave of his hand, the fog veiling another corner of the round stage scattered, revealing a seeazebo was a white-robed old ray chessboard was placed on a stone table in front of him Black and white stones intersected one another atop the chessboard, as though yin and yang assailing one another-a chess formation

The old htest vitality that could be felt from him With a look, it was clear that he was a puppet

”This is Celestial Chess Its rules are coa its own school Back then, when I was touring around the world, I chanced upon it in some ruins I don't knoho created it, and there weren't any explanations regarding the rules either Intrigued, I spentto decipher it, but even so, I only ed to comprehend around forty to fifty percent of it”

Waving his hand once azebo shi+azebo was projected on it It was entirely foreign to everyone present here Even those who had immersed themselves in chess in the past were unable to draw on their experiences to decipher this

”A chess foriven that no one knows the rules hoill the participants be assessed?”

”I've no idea as well!”

There werethe croere learned in the Way of Chess, but seeing the profound formation projected on the wall, they realized it was entirely different from what they had learned before, and this left them dumbfounded

”In Celestial Chess, the heavens and earth are the chessboard, and the stars are the stones It is intricately aligned with the essence of the world One won't be able to co the forazebo, there are some words left behind by the previous owner of the chessboard

”Through these words, one is able to decipher the rules of the gae the puppet in the gazebo If one were tothe stone down on the board This test has nothing to do with talent, cultivation, or anything at all, it is purely a ence will be able to decipher more of the rules and ence will have limited comprehension of the rules and find the number of moves they can make limited as well To pass this test, you'll have toshi+ explained

”This To actually use chess to gauge one's intelligence, a!”

”The heaven and earth as the chessboard, and the stars as the stones, how doh this chess, one would indeed be able to isolate intelligence from other external factors It is truly a fair test!”

Hearing the rules, everyone nodded their heads in agree on one's intelligence Soht find themselves outmatched by a child who had barely learned it for a few days, albeit rarely This didn't necessarily eable than the adult, justtop chess players: 'Chances are null if one fails to reach the top by twenty!'

Without sufficient intelligence and talent, it would be nigh impossible for one to reach the top It's cruel, but such is the world

Given that this Celestial Chess operated by entirely different rules coames in the Master Teacher Continent, and one was to co the limited words written on the pillars, it was indeed the best way to quantify one's intelligence

As expected of a 5-star master teacher, his means were indeed exceptional

”All iven an incense's time to read and decipher the words on the pillars before starting theor is unable to put down his piece, that would be the end of the test”

Hong shi+ waved his hands and said, ”Alright, now that I've finished explaining the rules, let's begin the test!”

”Yes!”

The participants nodded their heads

”Since there is only one chess board, we can only go one by one Thus, let's decide the sequence”

Hong shi+ glanced at the crowd

In the first test, Zhang Xuan was the first to take the test, and he destroyed the Ghost Domain Illusory City, thus no one was eliminated In the second test, due to the Otherworldly Deh the test, only the three men who fled in the midst were eliminated And in the third test, seventeen people were eliminated

After the three tests, of the fifty-six initial participants, only twenty were eli thirty-six

”Why don't I go first?”

Zhang Xuan stepped forward

Given that there were thirty-six people in total and given that just the preparation time in itself was one incense's time, by the time everyone was done, the sun would have already set Since that was the case, he et it over and done with so that he could rest

”Cough cough” Seeing Zhang Xuan walk over, Hong shi+ nearly choked on his saliva ”You? Don't even try!”

I ao first after you wrecked the previous three tests!
