326: I was fooled.

Chaos Chess Spirit's hair and beard bristled, and he pointed at the chessboard, completely flustered.

Seeing his wide-eyed expression, Water Without Heart looked slightly surprised. She wasn't skilled in chess and didn't know how exquisite Chu Feng's moves on the board were.

Anyway, she couldn't understand it.

But she could tell that Chaos Chess Spirit's state was not right.

This Chess Spirit, who had been single-mindedly focused on playing chess before, was now experiencing extremely strong emotional fluctuations.

His anger had turned into astonishment, surprise, and even a bit of daze. He just stared blankly at Chu Feng playing chess, completely losing his previous arrogant demeanor.

"Don't make noise."

Hearing the Chess Spirit's surprised and stammering voice, Chu Feng's calm voice rang out.

His fingers still moved like the wind, placing pieces like stars, landing on various positions on the chessboard. At this moment, the chessboard was like a landscape painting, instantly forming a highly rhythmic composition.

"..."

The Chess Spirit, reprimanded by Chu Feng, immediately lowered his head and stared intently at the chess game, no longer speaking. This obedient demeanor was much like that of a student earnestly seeking knowledge.

As he watched, he swayed his head, occasionally muttering, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is."

"Right, how could this old man not have thought of playing it this way?"

"..."

He continued to mutter, but he seemed to have taken Chu Feng's reprimand to heart, daring only to speak in a low voice, as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

Clack...

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chu Feng placed the last black piece on the chessboard.

As this black piece fell, all the white pieces on the chessboard were surrounded by the black pieces, completely sealed off. Even Water Without Heart, who didn't understand chess much, knew that the white side had lost the entire game when she saw this scene.

"Husband... this chess game is?"

She was confused and didn't understand Chu Feng's intention.

Chu Feng glanced at the chess game on the board: "It's just a childish and clumsy game."

"This Chess Spirit is conceited, thinking his chess skills are unrivaled. He played against himself and created an endgame where white pieces were destined to win. He played for so long, but couldn't break it."

Water Without Heart understood his unspoken meaning and suddenly realized, "Husband, you broke this chess game?"

Chu Feng nodded, but did not speak.

On the other hand, Chaos Chess Spirit bowed to Chu Feng at this moment: "Your Excellency's chess skills are exquisite. Chess Spirit is convinced."

He had played against himself in Chaos Space for tens of millions of years, deducing countless times how to break the peerless endgame he had set up, but he had never found a solution.

He never expected that this person, upon arriving, would just overturn his chessboard, and then casually re-enact the game, breaking his endgame with a chess strategy he had never even conceived of.

Looking back now, Chaos Chess Spirit had not the slightest bit of anger towards Chu Feng for overturning his chessboard.

It was overturned well!

It was beautifully overturned!

If he had really continued to play according to his previous moves, it would still have been a dead end.

Only by starting over was the right path.

Hearing Chaos Chess Spirit's admiring voice, Chu Feng didn't mind: "The skill is too bad, it has little to do with chess artistry. Anyone with hands can do it."

Although he spoke a bit excessively, it was the truth.

With the chess Dao experience he gained from his unsealed Chess Saint identity, Chaos Chess Spirit was nothing but a terrible chess player in his eyes, and this was never meant as a taunt.

Chaos Chess Spirit: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then calmly said, "You broke the chess game, everything you say is right."

"Your Excellency is here for the Great Dao Chess Game?"

"That's right, but with your chess skills, don't bother setting up any Great Dao Chess Game. Just give me the chess game reward directly. I'm in a hurry."

Facing the drastically changed Chaos Chess Spirit, Chu Feng raised his hand and rubbed his fingers at him.

Chaos Chess Spirit waved his hand upon hearing this: "That won't do. This Great Dao Chess Game was not laid out by this old man; this old man is merely a presiding Spirit."

"Moreover, Your Excellency, do not assume that because your chess skills are exquisite, you can treat the Great Dao Chess Game as something already in your grasp. The Great Dao Chess Game is not the same as ordinary chess; the game is personally evolved by the Chaos Great Dao, and the rules are extremely complex. It is not so easy to win in the Great Dao Chess Game and obtain the chaos pearl to seek the Dao."

His own endgame had been broken, and he was now truly convinced by Chu Feng. His tone was much gentler than before, and he told Chu Feng the inside story in great detail.

Chu Feng frowned. Isn't it just Five-in-a-Row?

He's making it sound so mysterious.

He casually said, "Since you can't make the decision, then directly open the Great Dao Chess Game early."

"You can do that, right?"

Chaos Chess Spirit's face showed difficulty: "I can indeed open the Great Dao Chess Game early."

"But... the date for the game's opening has already been announced to the entire Supreme Realm, forming a world rule."

"Breaking the world rule is unfair to those who have obtained a spot in the chess game."

Chu Feng calmly glanced at him: "Fairness is for the weak, and rules are meant to be broken."

"I am not discussing this with you."

Not to mention he was in a hurry.

In the Supreme Realm, almost all those who could obtain a spot in the chess game were Heavenly Mandate Protagonists.

They were all his enemies, so how could he care about their feelings?

Chaos Chess Spirit looked at Chu Feng's calm face, seemingly sensing his authority. After a moment of thought, he couldn't help but say, "This old man can open the Great Dao Chess Game early."

"However, Your Excellency must teach me how to play chess."

Chu Feng was a bit speechless when he heard Chaos Chess Spirit's condition. This Chess Spirit was truly a chess fanatic.

He said without hesitation, "Haven't I already taught you?"

"Taught? When?"

Chaos Chess Spirit was stunned for a moment, looking at the broken endgame on the chessboard Chu Feng was pointing to. After a brief pause, he suddenly understood.

This broken endgame wasn't just about breaking the game; this person had played it from beginning to end right in front of him. The underlying thought processes and chess skills, if carefully pondered, would surely yield great insights.

Saying he had taught him was perfectly accurate.

His expression was solemn, his facial features on his dark face converging as he bowed to Chu Feng and said, "Thank you, Master."

"This old man will now open the Great Dao Chess Game."

He agreed just like that?

Water Without Heart, watching from the side as the eccentric Chaos Chess Spirit knelt down at light speed and showed such respect to Chu Feng, felt a shock in her heart.

How much time had passed?

Though she didn't know why, she always had a feeling that the other party had been tricked into a disadvantage.

She gazed at Chaos Chess Spirit and found that after he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate at all.

His figure flickered, and a chaotic diagram full of Void Realm currents appeared behind him. His entire being exuded an inexplicable power.

He raised a finger and pointed.

Suddenly, the entire Chaos Space rumbled and trembled madly.

If one were to observe this Chaos Space from the outside, they would find that it was gradually evolving, becoming a massive chessboard comparable to the Supreme Realm.

On the chessboard, countless lines flickered, crisscrossing.

At the same time.

Throughout the entire Supreme Realm, all beings above the Heavenly God level sensed it.

The Great Dao Chess Game!

Opening a hundred years early!
