I Have a Compass for Opportunity

Bu Moying didn’t understand much about Arrays, assuming it was just an integration of a normal chess game and an array, he calmly said to Liou Yuan, "Sitting at the table now is my Qingxiao Sect’s best inner disciple in terms of Array talent, my junior Zheng Lifeng."

"He previously went to the back mountain valley, observed the array you repaired, Mr. Liou, and praised you highly. He said he must visit you no matter what."

"Coincidentally, he encountered this senior’s chess setup and decided to sit down."

"It’s a pity I don’t understand this method, otherwise I would also like to earn those thousand Star Stones."

Bu Moying was joking; he clearly didn’t grasp the difficulty of the chess game, thinking that since his junior could solve it, it couldn’t be too hard.

Thus, he started urging Liou Yuan: "Mr. Liou’s accomplishments far surpass those of my junior, why not step forward and give it a try?"

Liou Yuan first looked at the chess game Zheng Lifeng had solved, where the board subtly contained only a Peak of Qi Cultivation Array, called ’Water Curtain Celestial Splendor’.

As long as one understood the setup of this ’Water Curtain Celestial Splendor’, it’s not difficult to solve.

The difficulty lay in the next three Arrays.

The second Array, the contest between black and white pieces was even fiercer, black played one Array, white played another, any mistake could lead to being overwhelmed by the opponent.

The third Array further contained a major Array hidden within the black and white pieces. On the surface, there were two Arrays, the hidden great Array was maneuvered by the black and white pieces.

The fourth Array, openly two Arrays, secretly connected with two more Arrays.

The complexity was more than a hundred times greater than the first chess game.

"This money is not easy to earn." The more Liou Yuan looked, the deeper his frown became, as for the last chess game, he could only grasp a bit of it.

Trying to break it is indeed too difficult.

"What, even Mr. Liou has no confidence in solving these four chess games?" Bu Moying looked at the frowning Liou Yuan, subtly sensing something was off.

Before he could think it over.

"Senior, this junior admits defeat." The disciple of Qingxiao Sect named Zheng Lifeng was defeated at the second chess game and stood up with a bitter smile, respectfully saluting the man.

Insiders look at the subtle aspects, outsiders watch the spectacle.

Others only thought this chess game was difficult, only those who understood Arrays knew how profound the Array mastery needed to set up this chess game was.

As such, Zheng Lifeng addressed the man as senior.

The man didn’t pay the slightest attention to Zheng Lifeng, casually tossed a bag of Star Stones to him, and continued sipping his tea with half-closed eyes, seemingly too lazy to spare him more than a glance.

Zheng Lifeng gave a wry smile, pocketed the Star Stones, and stepped aside.

Zheng Lifeng was already somewhat known in Qingbao County, where no Cultivator specializing in Arrays didn’t recognize him.

Seeing even Zheng Lifeng admit defeat and leave, naturally, no onlookers dared to step forward, all deeming themselves inferior to Zheng Lifeng.

Bu Moying was indifferent, he was merely there to watch the fun, immediately pulling Zheng Lifeng to introduce him to Liou Yuan: "This is my ineffective junior Zheng Lifeng."

Then he introduced Liou Yuan to Zheng Lifeng: "This is the Mr. Liou who repaired the Star Shining Celestial Array."

Zheng Lifeng’s eyes lit up. He had originally come to visit Liou Yuan, upon hearing Bu Moying mention Liou Yuan’s name, he hurriedly saluted politely, "Mr. Liou,"

Zheng Lifeng had seen the Arrays repaired by the Qingxiao Sect, growing increasingly astonished the more he looked.

The method of repairing the Array was utterly unprecedented to him, with many areas he could not comprehend, hoping Liou Yuan could enlighten him.

He was firmly convinced that Liou Yuan’s Array Cultivation surpassed his own by countless times, hence he sincerely called him ’master’.

"In the presence of this senior, I don’t dare call myself a master." Liou Yuan waved his hands repeatedly.

The real master was still sitting behind the table, and his skills amounted to nothing before him. If he let people hear it, wouldn’t it be a joke?

The three of them didn’t bother to conceal their conversation, so naturally, that man heard it too. Liou Yuan noticed his eyes merely swept over him without any response.

Zheng Lifeng, having failed to solve the chess game, was initially downcast, but upon seeing Liou Yuan, his spirits lifted, echoing the words of Bu Moying.

"Why doesn’t Master Liou step forward and try to solve this chess game?"

Zheng Lifeng still addressed Liou Yuan as Master, hearing that made Liou Yuan shake his head repeatedly, though secretly he felt some competitive spirit arise.

"It’s just a chess game, after all, and since I have nothing else to do, I might as well try this master’s methods." Liou Yuan squinted and smiled.

This time, he didn’t refuse their suggestion, elegantly sitting at the other end of the table.

Zheng Lifeng and Bu Moying exchanged a smile, standing to the left and right of Liou Yuan, watching with great interest.

Liou Yuan was about to touch the first chess board, his hand reaching out to grab a piece.

The middle-aged man waved his long sleeves, and the board had one less layout, pointing towards the second board, he said indifferently, "Start with the second match."

"Then according to the senior." Liou Yuan acted as if he didn’t mind.

He had just understood the second chess match behind Zheng Lifeng.

When the white piece was placed, he casually picked up a white piece, landing it at the center of the two confronting Arrays.

Splat! The sound of the piece resonated crisply on the board.

The situation which had been evenly matched instantly reversed.

If it were two Arrays fighting, at this moment the Array represented by the white pieces clearly had overwhelmed the black pieces, gaining momentum like a rainbow.

Zheng Lifeng watched with staring eyes, murmuring repeatedly, "So that’s how it is! So that’s how it is!"

"Senior, is this method of mine correct?" Liou Yuan smiled as he looked at the man in front of him, meeting his warm and honest eyes.

"The third match!" The man remained composed without responding, pointing to the third chess match.
