The National Children's Go Competition is over, and everyone has dispersed.
Ta Yaliang, who originally wanted to play chess with Chen Anxia, gave up the idea after seeing the game between Chen Anxia and Iwajima Man and the conversation between his father and Chen Anxia.
Because Ta Yaliang knew that there was an insurmountable gap between his current chess power and Chen Anxia's.
This means that if I insist on challenging Chen Anxia now, it will be like trying to shake a tree, and it will appear that I am overestimating my capabilities.
Therefore, Ta Yaliang could only hide the desire in his heart.
At the same time, Ta Yaliang also swore in his heart that he would work hard to catch up with Chen Anxia's back, hoping that one day he could walk side by side with Chen Anxia and compete with Chen Anxia at the top.
Takaya Ryo was like this, and Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, who was even weaker than Taya Ryo in chess, naturally gave up the idea of playing against Chen Anxia now.
Through Chen Anxia's "real" chess skills in the finals, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi deeply realized the gap between himself and Chen Anxia.
Because of this gap in chess strength, Shinsuke Ichiyanagi could feel a strong sense of oppression coming from him as if he were facing his own father when facing Chen Anxia.
This sense of oppression is like a shackle, restraining Ichiyanagi Shinsuke and preventing him from having the courage to play against Chen Anxia.
Night fell quietly after the National Children's Go Competition ended.
Although the night seemed peaceful, there were many waves hidden in the darkness.
Chen Anxia's home.
At this time, Chen Anxia was reviewing the game with Iwajima Oo and digesting the chess theory insights from Miki Aoshi.
In the process, Chen Anxia unknowingly opened an unknown eternal door and stepped onto a road made of bright stars.
The moment he set foot on this Avenue of Stars, Chen Anxia had a clear understanding in his heart, knowing that this Avenue of Stars was the chess avenue leading to the chess theory of the universe.
It's just that this Avenue of Stars is incomplete. If you look forward, you will find that the road ahead is cut off...
No, the road ahead has not yet been opened.
Not only Chen Anxia, Miki Soshi in the player world is also doing the same thing, reviewing the chess game, digesting the inspiration given by Chen Anxia, and digesting his own understanding of the chess theory of the universe.
Enter Hikaru Fuji's home.
As soon as Shindo Hikaru came home, he proposed to his parents the idea of buying a computer to play online Go.
Regarding this, Shindo Hikaru's parents hesitated and did not agree immediately.
Because online Go has just emerged and is not yet popular.
Although Shindo Hikari's parents know something about Go, they don't know much about online Go.
Even Shindo Hikari's parents didn't know much about computers and the Internet and were unfamiliar with them.
But this is normal. After all, in the era when the "Soul of Chess" anime started, computers and the Internet had not yet spread to every household, and even Internet cafes had only emerged a few years ago.
Late at night, Shindo Hikaru still did not fall asleep, but was playing coaching chess with Fujiwara Sawei.
The clear and translucent sound of falling was very clear in the silent night.
However, Shindo Hikaru and Fujiwara Sawei, who were immersed in the world of Go, did not notice that the door of the room was opened a crack at some point.
Outside the door, Shindo Hikaru's parents looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but look at each other, seeming to have made a decision.
Not only Shindo Hikari, but also Taya Ryo, Ichiyanagi Shinsuke, Sha Qingharu, Waya Yoshigao and Nase Asumi could not sleep, and were using their own methods to refine their chess skills.
Even Taya Mingmei, Ogata Seiji, Ichiyanagi Shintaro and Shazuka Takeru didn't fall asleep. They were reviewing the chess game between Chen Anxia and Iwajima Oo, trying to get a closer look at Chen Anxia's future.
Not only that, there is a bigger storm brewing in the Go world.
The night fades quietly, and the day comes as promised.
A new week has arrived.
On this day, Sakamoto Kei got up early. After dressing up and having breakfast, he set off to the private Neptune Elementary School to go to work.
When passing by the newsstand, Sakamoto Hui bought a Go journal.
This is Sakamoto Hui's habit. He buys a Go journal every Monday morning and uses the Go journal to learn about recent events in the Go world.
Soon, Sakamoto Kei arrived at the private Neptune Elementary School and started to get busy.
It wasn't until things were almost done that Sakamoto Hui made a cup of tea, then took out the Go journal he bought this morning, sat comfortably on the armchair and started reading.
After flipping through the Go journal, Sakamoto Hui saw a bold title on the first page that read, "Who is Chen Anxia!?"
After seeing this title, Sakamoto Hui couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
The name Chen Anxia was naturally very familiar to Hui Sakamoto, but Hui Sakamoto didn't know why he saw Chen Anxia's name in the Go journal.
'Could it be that this Chen Anxia is not the Chen Anxia I know? '
Puzzled, Sakamoto Hui couldn't help but start looking for answers from Go journals.
Soon, Sakamoto Kei stood up in shock and knocked over the tea cup placed in front of the table.
However, Sakamoto Hui didn't notice it at all. He just looked at the Go journal in his hand with a shocked expression, and said with disbelief on his face, "How could Master Taya say such a thing to him!?"
Inside the Zishui Go Club.
Ichikawa Harumi turned on the radio after work, tuned to a special Go channel, and started listening to Go-related information.
During this process, Ichikawa Harumi suddenly heard a slightly urgent voice coming from the radio, "Now insert a piece of information."
"According to reliable sources, yesterday Tayan people..."
This sudden interruption of information made Ichikawa Harumi stop what she was doing unknowingly, with a look of shock and disbelief on her face, and she murmured, "Teacher, he actually...that child...that child." ..."
Yeze Middle School.
During break time, in the Go club.
Ryoko Kuroyuki is playing fast chess with Tetsuo Kaga.
Tsutsui Kimihiro on the side was looking through the Go journal he bought in the morning.
The next moment, Ryoko Kuroyuki and Tetsuo Kaga, who were playing chess, heard Tsutsui Kimihiro's exclamation, "How can that Tayan master know that!?"
It seemed that he was so shocked that Tsutsui Kimihiro did not say all he said.
The curiosity of Ryoko Kuroyuki and Tetsuo Kaga was aroused, and they couldn't help but abandon the chess game, walked to Tsutsui Kimihiro, and looked at the Go journal in his hand.
Soon, Kurozuki Ryoko and Kaga Tetsuo knew why Tsutsui Kimihiro had such a reaction.
At the same time, Ryoko Kuroyuki and Tetsuo Kaga also saw the photo of Chen Anxia when he won the championship in the Go journal.
Because Kuroyuki Ryoko had known Chen Anxia's name for a long time and because of her status as a player, she didn't react much to this information.
Tetsuo Kaga looked at Chen Anxia's photo and murmured, "So your name is Chen Anxia..."
On the other side, everyone who was watching TV and watching the morning Go news also knew about this.
Moreover, they all heard the host ask such a question.
"Chen Anxia's appearance...does it mean the arrival of a new era?"
...
