The number of people in the room kept increasing.

After a big commotion in the public chat box, numerous people came into the room to view the game!

"What?"

"Changhe 9-dan really lost? He resigned in the midgame?"

"It was just a lucky win, right?"

"Which professional player could this be?"

"I don't know him at all!"

"This YE's playing style seems a little strange. Could it be a Go pro from Japan or Korea trying to provoke us? I've never seen any of our Chinese pros use such a playing style!"

"Let's watch another round."

"Are they going to play again?"

Wu Changhe often played online Go and would also play games with some of the domestic players or even foreign pros. It wasn't like these online Go players had never seen Changhe 9-dan lose before. Even at his peak some 20 years ago, it was impossible for him to never lose a match. There were too many factors affecting the outcome of a Go game. Things like skill, state of mind, luck, and even the air quality and temperature of the venue could decide the victor. But rarely had anyone seen Changhe 9-dan lose so badly!

In the room.

Wu Changhe said: "Another game!"

YE: "Sure."

...

In the courtyard house.

Wu Changhe's angry voice sounded, "I won't believe this!"

Li Qinqin entered the room. "What's the matter?"

"Nothing!" Wu Changhe grunted.

Li Qinqin knew that her husband must have lost a game of Go, so she sat down curiously beside him and looked at the computer screen. "YE? Which master is this?"

The second game began.

Wu Changhe took black and went first this time.

"Make your move!" Wu Changhe placed his stone and muttered to himself, "I'll get serious with you this time!"

His opponent placed a stone.

Wu Changhe moved again.

Li Qinqin could tell that her husband had really become serious this time as he thought very long for each move that he made. But seeing how his opponent named YE continued his next sequence of moves, Li Qinqin's expression slightly changed as well. First, the opponent played very quickly like he did not require much time to consider his moves. Second, his strategy was a little odd. Although the majority of his moves followed a traditional sense of play, some of them were very strange moves. But what was even stranger was that YE's moves, which would not be considered the best moves by most people, had actually ended up making a very nice shape 1 on the Go board that no one could have expected!

Who was he?

Li Qinqin was very surprised!

Wu Changhe's expression became darker as he played on!

When YE made a diagonal move in an unexceptional position on the board, Wu Changhe finally realized who he was. Li Qinqin wore an expression of shock as well!

This move was way too familiar!

Other people might not know it, but they were really familiar with it!

This diagonal move was not made that cleverly and was not even considered a standard move. From the looks of the opening strategy and the framework 2 in the smaller division of the board, this was not the best move to make. However, Wu Changhe and Li Qinqin had witnessed someone make this same move just yesterday, and he had relied on this diagonal move as a foundation to instantly reverse things and completely destroy Wu Changhe!

Li Qinqin gasped, "It's Little Zhang!"

Wu Changhe cursed angrily, "That young bastard! So it's him!"

They finally found out who it was!

They finally realized who it was!

In the entire Go world, no one would play that way other than him!

Li Qinqin didn't know how to react. "Didn't you refuse to play him? Didn't you tell him not to come? Look now, he came looking for you instead. This Little Zhang's temper is really interesting." Li Qinqin couldn't help but laugh. The more she laughed, the more she couldn't stop. This was the first time she had witnessed and heard of a future son-in-law getting into this sort of feud with his future father-in-law after his first visit. This Little Zhang was indeed just like the rumors said. He really was not a normal person!

Wu Changhe shouted, "I'll fight him!"

Clink!

He bumped 3 with a stone!

YE nonchalantly placed another stone down!

Wu Changhe said angrily, "That move again? He's trying that move again? Shameless! Shameless to the extreme!"

He was forced to make an attack!

However, YE counterattacked!

When Wu Changhe saw this, he nearly went crazy. "Damn, this young bastard is too devious!"

The house was filled with the sounds of Wu Changhe's cursing!

"Despicable!"

"Shameless!"

"Don't you dare!"

Half an hour later, the outcome was decided.

Even after adding the compensation, YE still beat Wu Changhe by over seven points!

With that, the crowd viewing the match broke into chaos!

"Holy shit!"

"Which god could this YE be!"

"Isn't this too fucking awesome?"

"He was taken totally apart, alright?"

"Where did this amazing person pop out from?"

"Those moves by YE were just so classic!"

Immediately, the public chat box in the Online Go Server was flooded with comments!

"Come quickly!"

"Something big has happened here!"

"Changhe 9-dan was utterly demolished!"

"What?"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Quickly come and see!"

Meanwhile.

YE sent a private message.

Only Wu Changhe and he could see this private message.

"Uncle, were you being serious this time?"

Wu Changhe nearly fainted from anger. "Alright, kid! You're great! You're just great!"

"Now will you take back what you said about me having a questionable character?"

Wu Changhe quickly hunt and pecked: "No! You definitely have big issues with your character"

"But I beat you."

"Did you really think I played seriously? Hahahaha, ridiculous! You are too laughable! I only used 60% of my strength to play against you just now!"

"What a coincidence. I only used 50%."

"I used 40%!"

"I used 30%!"

"I used 20%!"

The two of them got into an argument again!

Li Qinqin tugged at him and said with a smile, "That's enough, Changhe. What's the point of boasting like that? A loss is a loss. Previously, you even said that you could beat Little Zhang with your eyes closed. But you're getting smacked in the face by him now, aren't you? Come on, both you and Little Zhang, just what sorts of tempers do you two have?"

Wu Changhe stared at her. "Go away. Don't bother me!"

Then he sent a message to Zhang Ye. "Rascal, don't get too cocky. If you're so skilled, let's play another game. Do you dare? Ah? Will you accept?"

"I'm waiting!"

"Alright, wait right here! Just wait!"

Wu Changhe stayed in the room and online. Then he stood up and looked for his cell phone. He cursed as he was looking for it, "I'm so pissed off! I'm so pissed off! I'll teach him to act cocky! Watch how I'm going to teach him a lesson!" When he found his cell phone, he picked it up and browsed through his contacts. He found his disciples and called them immediately.

Li Qinqin was stunned. "What are you doing?"

Wu Changhe ignored his wife. The call connected.

"Hello, where are you?"

"Teacher, I'm at the Go Academy."

"Come to my house right now!"

"Huh? We're practicing. You want us to go over now?"

"I want you to come over right now! I want to see you here within 10 minutes! Are your fellow disciples around?"

"They're all here."

"Call them over as well! I don't believe it!"

"Teacher, what happened?"

"Why're you still talking! Come quickly!"

"OK, we'll be there soon!"

Dumbfounded, Li Qinqin asked, "What are you doing, Changhe?"

Wu Changhe said coldly, "I want to make teach that rascal a lesson and teach him what 'there is always someone better out there' means!" Then he returned to the computer and he typed out to Zhang Ye with a sneer: "Wait ten minutes for me!"

YE: "OK."

Li Qinqin rolled her eyes. "This is cheating!"

Wu Changhe objected, "What do you mean by cheating? I'm giving a lesson to the youth! I'll teach that kid what Go is all about!"

Li Qinqin said in a speechless manner, "Those disciples of yours are all ranked within the world's top 30. Do you enjoy getting them here to take on an amateur like Little Zhang?"

Wu Changhe roared with laughter. "Yes! A lot!"

Li Qinqin couldn't think of anything to say.
