Tonight, for some people, is destined to be sleepless.
Arrive as promised the next day.
On this day, Shindo Hikaru got up early, and after having breakfast, he and Fujiwara Sawe headed towards the Island Kingdom Chess Academy.
This time, Shindo Hikaru is not going to participate in the competition, but to watch Chen Anxia's game.
In addition, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi and Kiyoharu Sha, who also lost the game yesterday, also got up early and headed towards the Island Kingdom Chess Academy after being guided by their fathers and tossing and turning all night.
As for Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Ken Shazuka, because they were curious about Chen Anxia and even more curious about the game between Chen Anxia and Iwajima Oo, they followed their sons towards the Island Kingdom Chess Academy.
Because this time neither Shintaro Ichiyanagi nor Ken Shatsuka made any pretense.
So as soon as they entered the island country chess academy, Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Ken Shatsuka were recognized by some staff.
Later, Ogata Seiji came upon hearing the news and personally received Shintaro Ichiyanagi and Ken Shazuka.
Because Ichiyanagi Shinsuke and She Qingharu didn't like the atmosphere of adult conversation, they each found excuses to leave.
In this regard, Ichiyanagi Shintaro and Shezuka Ken did not stop them and allowed them to leave.
In the Island Chess Academy, the number of people who chose to come to watch chess today was smaller than yesterday, but there were still many.
Suddenly, the originally quiet and solemn Island Chess Academy became bustling with people and seemed very lively.
As for today's contestants, since there are only 32 people, the Island Chess Academy has specially prepared a lounge.
Before the game starts, contestants can choose to recharge in the quiet lounge to wait for the upcoming sixth round.
Of course, compared to a noisy environment, these contestants who are about to compete would prefer to choose such a quiet environment to adjust their state.
The same goes for Chen Anxia, who is sitting in a corner of the lounge with his eyes closed to relax.
Miki Yuko and Iwajima Oo were also in the lounge, each sitting in the corner, waiting for the game to start.
During this process, Iwajima Man couldn't help but look at Miki Yuko several times.
Iwajima Man discovered that Miki Yuko seemed to have been paying attention to Chen Anxia who was resting in the corner with her eyes closed.
This discovery made the Yanjima man narrow his eyes slightly and began to secretly look at Chen Anxia.
Iwashima Man knows that Chen Anxia is not a player.
But Iwajima Man didn't know that there was anything about Chen Anxia, a game NPC, that deserved Yuko Miki's attention.
Is it the looks...or the chess skills set in the game?
Later, Iwashima Man remembered a detail from yesterday, and couldn't help but secretly thought, "Yesterday I heard that a person named Liang came to participate in the competition, and said that he was the first person of the younger generation. Could it be him? ?”
Thinking about it, Iwashima Man's face couldn't help but reveal that fox-like smile again, and the smile was full of malice.
For Iwashima Man, it is very satisfying to defeat these geniuses, even if these geniuses are just game NPCs.
Not only are these geniuses, Iwajima Man has even made plans to wreak havoc on the Go world of the "Soul of Go" game in the future and cause a bloody storm in the Go world of the "Soul of Go" game.
Just thinking about that scene, Iwajima Man couldn't help but get excited.
Time gradually passed, and finally, the radio in the island country chess academy rang.
"The sixth round of competition will start in 15 minutes. All contestants are asked to go to the designated competition table to prepare!"
The contestants in the lounge, including Chen Anxia, Miki Yuko and Iwajima Man, did not hesitate and walked directly towards their competition table the moment they heard the announcement.
At the same time, the island country chess academy, which was originally bustling with people, regained a quiet and serious atmosphere because of the sound of the broadcast.
Everyone fell silent in unison and looked towards the direction of the lounge.
Shindo Hikaru, Fujiwara Sawei, Ichiyanagi Shinsuke, She Kiyoharu and others are no exception.
As they watched, one contestant after another walked out of the lounge.
For these contestants, the attention focused on them is not only an honor, but also a kind of pressure.
This honor and this pressure made many contestants feel emotional before the competition even started.
The sixth round, that is, the 32-to-16 game began.
Because in this round of competition, Chen Anxia, Miki Yuko and Iwajima Man did not meet.
Therefore, there was no surprise, and all three of them successfully advanced.
Not only in this round, but in the subsequent seventh round where 16 went into 8, and the eighth round when 8 went into 4, the three of them still did not meet, and they still won with a big advantage and advanced.
At this point, the top four of this National Children's Go Competition... were born.
After the birth of the semi-finals, the next step is the 4-in-2 semi-finals in the ninth round.
Regarding the upcoming semi-finals, both Shindo Hikaru and Fujiwara Sawei believe that with Chen Anxia's chess skills, he will undoubtedly continue to win and win very easily.
For people such as Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, Seiharu Shasha, as well as Shintaro Ichiyanagi, Ken Shatsuka, and Seiji Ogata who have never seen Chen Anxia's "real" chess power, they only know that the real fight between dragons and tigers is about to begin.
Finally, as everyone was waiting, the semi-finals began.
Chen Anxia and others who entered the semi-finals also walked out of the lounge one after another when the announcement sounded.
Among them, Chen Anxia noticed something was wrong after scoring 8 out of 16.
Because Chen Anxia discovered that Shinsuke Ichiyanagi was not among the contestants competing today.
Chen Anxia knows that this fact shows that Shinsuke Ichiyanagi lost in the fifth round yesterday.
The person who beats Shinsuke Ichiyanagi is undoubtedly among today's contestants.
It's just that Chen Anxia can't imagine. I don't know who else in this age group can defeat Shinsuke Ichiyanagi besides Shindo Hikaru and Taya Ryo.
After realizing this, Chen Anxia's heart became extremely solemn.
But at the same time, desire and fighting spirit also emerged in Chen Anxia's heart.
Chen Anxia wanted to fight against such a powerful enemy, and longed to enjoy the thrill of fighting with all his strength in the chess game.
On the other side, Watsuya Yoshigao looked at the Iwashima man who was walking slowly. He thought of yesterday's game of chess again in his mind. His mind was still a little trembling. He couldn't help but said, "If nothing happens, he will be the champion." .”
On the side, Asumi Nase knew who Yoshitaka Watsuya was talking about and did not agree. Instead, she looked at Chen Anxia at No. 129 and said, "No, if it's him, he might be able to fight him."
He Gu Yigao couldn't help but look at Chen Anxia after hearing this.
Watsuya Yoshitaka naturally recognized Chen Anxia, a contestant who impressed him so much, but Watsuya Yoshitaka didn't know why Nase Asumi thought so.
Then, He Jian and Gu Yigao asked in confusion, "Why?"
Hearing this, Asumi Nase recalled in her mind the scene of that day when the three pillars of the world were divided into four parts, and she said directly, "Because his name is...Chen Anxia!"
