Chapter 339 Level Nine Master of Go
The order was music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, so the second round was chess!
Kristen couldn’t believe it. Leones, a mere martial artist, had unexpected skills in playing the piano. But in the realm of chess and cards, how high could his achievements be?
Playing musical instruments was just a matter of being familiar with one’s hands.
While playing chess and cards was the true test of intelligence!
Kristen was extremely talented and incredibly intelligent. No matter what the competition was, he must be better in terms of intelligence than someone who practiced martial arts. Especially when it comes to his achievements in Go, he reached level nine when he was just fifteen years old and could compete with top national players without falling behind.
If it came to chess, Kristen wouldn’t even know how to lose!
Of course, if the opponent chose chess, Kristen also had some knowledge and was competent enough to handle those games.
“What kind of chess do you want to play?” Leones asked calmly, letting him choose.
“Are you sure you want to let me choose?” Kristen raised an eyebrow, a slight smile on her lips. “I’m
a level nine chess player! If I choose Go, will you dare to challenge me?”
“Alright! Let’s play a game of Go then!” Leones agreed without hesitation.
Immediately, Kristen was taken aback and repeated, “Didn’t you hear me? I’m a level nine Go player! Are you sure you want to play Go with me?”
“We’re playing your strongest game,” Leones said calmly, “so that there’s no room for excuses if you lose later.”
“You!” Kristen was so infuriated that he felt like he might spit blood. Did he think his level nine in Go was just for show?
“Don’t underestimate me. What’s your level in Go?” Seeing Leones‘ composure, Kristen couldn’t help but feel a bit worried. What if the other party was also a level nine player?!
Even though the likelihood of that was extremely low!
“Me!?” Leones shook his head. “I don’t have a rank.”
“No rank?” Kristen was surprised again. “No rank, and you dare to play against me? Are you crazy?”
Leones smiled calmly and said, “Who says you can’t play Go without a rank? Today, this player is going to defeat you!”
Upon hearing this, a wry smile tugged at the corners of Kristen’s mouth. “Don’t daydream!”
If a level nine in Go were to lose to a beginner, they might as well commit suicide.
Leones smiled and said nothing.
Even though he didn’t have a rank, he did have a master!
His 87th master was once a generation’s chess master, winning the International Chess Saint Championship for twelve consecutive years. If it weren’t for his imprisonment, he might have continued his winning streak.
His self–created Center Control formation was like a dragnet that no one can break and no one can defeat.

Later, to inherit the Center Control, a small country in the East sent a beautiful chess player to use a beauty trick to get close to the chess master.
Truly, even heroes could fall before a beautiful woman. The former chess master fell into the embrace of this beauty and even left his homeland to be with her in the East, forgetting his own country.
When all the chess moves were learned by the Easterners, the beautiful chess player suddenly turned hostile and kicked him out.
The chess master, who thought he had found a kindred spirit but was deceived, became furious. and lost control. He killed the beloved female chess player with his own hands.
After multiple negotiations between the two countries, he was finally extradited back to his homeland and imprisoned in Zerino Prison.
Once the chess master entered prison and was free from the distractions of women, his chess skills soared. He even managed to decipher the Center Control he had created, naming one crucial move the Hand of God, capable of breaking any endgame in the world.
The chess master felt that there were no worthy successors, but luckily, he met Leones and decided to share all of his knowledge, including the Center Control, the method to decipher it, and the secrets of the Hand of God move.
Although Leones had limited knowledge of Go and no rank, from the moment he left prison, he was considered the living chess master, unmatched by anyone.
Seeing that Leones was obstinate and dared to challenge him in Go, Kristen decided not to say anything more.
He thought to himself, “Since you’re underestimating me, I’ll defeat you decisively on the chessboard!”
“Prepare a Go board!” Leones instructed.
Soon, the butler brought the Go board and the pieces.
The two sat facing each other.
In an instant, they attracted the attention of everyone present, and countless eyes were fixed on
them.
“Who do
you think will win this time?”
“Needless to say, Mr. Kristen Jernigan must win! He is a level nine master! You don’t think that someone without a rank can beat a level nine master, right?”
“The piano skills that Mr. Bloom showed just now are amazing! Before he played, none of us could have imagined that Mr. Bloom would win in the end!”
“Each has their own specialty! We certainly acknowledge Mr. Bloom’s piano skills. But being skilled in one area doesn’t necessarily translate to being good at another, especially when Mr. Bloom himself admitted to having no rank, indicating that he’s not proficient in Go!”
For a moment, as the two began their game, after some discussion, most people didn’t have high hopes for Leones this time, believing it should be Kristen’s turn to win.
“Is Your Majesty without a rank?” Chad, standing behind Leones, could only silently pray for a miracle to happen.
“It’s alright,” Darius said optimistically, “Even if he loses this game, he can still win the next one in the calligraphy competition!”

After all, Darius had personally witnessed Leones‘ calligraphy skills, and there was no doubt that he would excel in that competition.
However, when Kristen heard this, he couldn’t help but think to himself. “Comparing calligraphy with me? And expect to win? It’s absolutely ridiculous!”
From Kristen’s point of view, his calligraphy was as solid as his position in this chess game, and he was almost certain to win.
He had been reading and writing since childhood, and having good handwriting was the most basic skill. His ability to top the high school list was closely related to his excellent penmanship. “Hmph, next, whether it’s Go or calligraphy, I’m going to make you suffer a crushing defeat!”
Kristen was filled with determination, determined to prove his strength in the three upcoming
matches.
“Considering you’re a level nine player, I’ll give you a 12–stone handicap!” Leones, holding the white stones, suddenly spoke.
For beginners, it was common to give a 36–stone handicap.
And seeing that his opponent was indeed a level nine player, Leones didn’t want to be overly confident. So, he decided to give Kristen a 12–stone handicap to balance out the significant difference in their abilities, avoiding any accusations of taking advantage of the situation.
