Chapter 25 Endless Chess Game
Su Chen remained silent and made another move.
As he focused on the game, Su Chen realized that chess wasn't as difficult as it seemed.
In just a short amount of time, Su Chen had already learned some tricks.
The old man looked at Su Chen with surprise.
This young man seemed to have a strong learning ability.
He smiled faintly.
"But you still have a long way to go!"
The old man made a move and Su Chen realized that he had lost again.
However, this time Su Chen managed to hold on until the 15th round.
Compared to not being able to last ten rounds before, this was a great improvement.
Su Chen spoke up, "Let's play again."
The old man smiled but didn't say anything. He simply waved his hand and reset the chessboard.
Su Chen had no choice but to continue playing.
Meanwhile, outside the secret realm, Chen Yuwei was filled with anxiety.
She had searched the entire valley, but there was no sign of Su Chen.
It seemed that Su Chen had indeed entered a secret realm.
All Chen Yuwei could pray for was that the level of the secret realm Su Chen entered wasn't too high.
Otherwise, there would be no way to rescue him.
While Chen Yuwei was anxiously searching, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the valley.
Liu Lingyu arrived, and the surrounding spiritual energy became gentle and soothing.
"Where is Su Chen?"
As soon as she heard the news, Su Yue immediately informed Liu Lingyu.
Liu Lingyu hurried over.
She couldn't let the father of her unborn child disappear before the child was even born.
"Lingyu Junior Sister, Su Chen might have entered a secret realm," Chen Yuwei said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Lingyu's face immediately changed color.
If it was a high-level secret realm, Su Chen wouldn't be able to come out with his current strength.
She asked, "Strange, why would Su Chen come here?"
Chen Yuwei felt guilty and pondered for a moment before speaking, "Lingyu Junior Sister, it's my fault. I forgot about the existence of the secret realm. I practice here every day."
"So, I asked Su Chen to come here to find me, and as a result, he got trapped in the secret realm."
After speaking, Chen Yuwei glanced at Liu Lingyu with a hint of timidity in her eyes.
After all, it was her mistake.
"I'll go find the Sect Master!"
Liu Lingyu didn't blame Chen Yuwei. Instead, she spoke up.
"Sister Yuwei, please take care of Su Yue for now. I'll find the Sect Master and rescue Su Chen as quickly as possible."
After speaking, Liu Lingyu flew away.
Chen Yuwei couldn't stop her.
The Sect Master was in seclusion outside the mountain gate, close to the domain of demons.
Even if she rushed back as quickly as possible, it would still take ten days.
And for such a small matter, was it worth it?
While Chen Yuwei was contemplating, she suddenly felt a pair of small hands on her own.
She looked down and saw Su Yue looking at her.
Su Yue couldn't speak fluently yet, but she mumbled "daddy" in a blurry voice.
Then, her big eyes looked at Chen Yuwei with worry.
Chen Yuwei suddenly felt a sense of guilt.
Why did Senior Sister and Junior Sister have such deep feelings for Su Chen, a seed cultivator?
Could it be that she had too much bias against seed cultivators?
...
"Young man, your chess skills are becoming more and more exquisite."
"Your chess skills are sharp, but you need to incorporate some rules into your strategy."
Su Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
This old man's chess strategy is completely random, yet he has the audacity to demand strategy from himself.
Su Chen has lost count of how many games of chess he has played.
And in all these games, he has never won a single one.
This old man must be deliberately trying to trap him!
Su Chen is filled with dissatisfaction, but he is helpless.
In the current environment, he doesn't know what kind of spell has been cast on him.
Su Chen can't do anything other than play chess.
He can't even activate his own zodiac sign.
The old man makes a move.
"Young man, you've lost again."
Su Chen looks at the chessboard, his black pieces are basically surrounded.
Although there are only a few pieces on the board, Su Chen, who is already familiar with the game, understands that if the game continues, he will lose.
Su Chen forces a bitter smile.
"Shall we continue?"
The old man waves his hand.
"Forget it, let's call it a night."
The old man says, resetting the chessboard.
"You've managed to hold on until the 20th round today, not bad. Keep up the effort tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow?"
Su Chen almost bursts out cursing.
When the old man said "let's call it a night," Su Chen thought the torture was over.
Who would have thought that this old man would want to play chess with him again tomorrow?!
Su Chen calms his emotions and calmly asks, "How long have we been playing chess?"
In this space, there is no distinction between day and night, so Su Chen cannot judge the passage of time.
The old man pouts.
"It's been about five hours!"
"The time here is the same as outside. You don't have to worry about that."
The old man says, preparing to leave.
Su Chen looks at the old man with resentment. This old man must be a bit crazy.
Who in their right mind would play chess for five hours?
The old man doesn't say anything else, but takes small steps and disappears from Su Chen's sight.
Su Chen realizes that the old man is gone and suddenly realizes a serious problem.
"Hey, old man, release my seal!"
"I can't just sit here and wait for you to come back!"
There is no response around him.
Su Chen's face is filled with despair as he looks at the chessboard in front of him. He realizes that he can still play chess.
Needless to say, that old man is never coming back.
Su Chen decides to look at the chessboard and makes a move.
From the old man's attitude, it seems that if he can win against the old man, there might be a chance to get out.
Since he can't do anything else right now, he might as well study the chess strategy!
Maybe he can really win against this old man!
...
At this moment, in a valley in the Demon Realm.
A stunningly beautiful woman is meditating and cultivating.
She is wearing a light chiffon blouse, with a figure that is extremely impressive. What surprises people the most is her face. Anyone who sees it, no matter how strong their willpower, will surely be enchanted by her face.
The woman furrows her brows. Since coming to this Demon Realm to cultivate, her injuries seem to have not healed. However, the rate at which her injuries worsen has slowed down significantly.
It seems that only in this Demon Realm can the deterioration of her wounds be greatly reduced.
Only here can she possibly find a way to heal her wounds.
She sighs softly, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness.
She wonders how the injuries of the female disciples in the sect are doing.
If it weren't for the great war with the demon race ten years ago, how could she have ended up in such a situation?!
