Chapter 315: Chapter 108 Ancient Relics_2

"Hmph, no need to worry, you naturally won this wager, the elixir will be given to you in a while, and I will also remove the barrier from the cave for you. However, we agreed to the best of three, and this third game of chess must still be played. Just now I did not exert my full strength, but this time I will use some external forces, determined to let you experience the mystery of the Immortal Law and the infinity of Shen Jizi. Come, after this third game is completed, whether you win or lose, I’ll let you pass."

Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

So he just wants to save face, that’s fine, it’s no big deal to play another game of chess with him. If it’s really not going well, I can even let him win a few moves to avoid the Immortal getting truly angry.

But he also worried that if he let him win too obviously, it would be embarrassing since his own chess skill entirely relies on AI support. If he does not follow the AI’s strategy, he might end up playing terrible moves, and if the opponent notices that he is intentionally losing, he might get even angrier.

Despite the headache he felt, Xiao Jie’s tone remained calm; he could tell that Shen Jizi, although arrogant and impolite, was definitely someone concerned with appearances, so he had to maintain his persona.

"I wouldn’t dare to disobey, Immortal, please."

"You first, this time it’s your turn to play the black pieces."

Xiao Jie thought to himself if you can’t win playing first with the black pieces, playing second with the white will be even worse. Well, if you’re seeking your own demise, I’ll indulge you.

He then played a piece according to the AI’s strategy.

Shen Jizi, however, did not hurry to make his move but instead stood erect, pointing his finger like a sword towards his forehead and chest, touching each once.

Immortal Law—It Transformation Freedom Heart!

In an instant, his eyes emitted two white beams.

Xiao Jie was startled—what is this?

He saw Shen Jizi’s eyes clear of the white light, revealing pupils black as ink, deep and unfathomable like the vast starry sky speckled with stars, like inscrutable black holes.

His whole demeanor changed completely.

Immediately, he played his piece.

The AI responded with its move right away.

Back and forth went their pieces, each playing faster and faster. Xiao Jie was somewhat surprised; wasn’t this person taking ages to make a move just a while ago? How come his speed has exploded all of a sudden?

Fortunately, the winning rate was still on his side. According to the victory rate given by the AI, he was at a significant advantage, and it was still rising.

It seemed no different from the last game.

Smack! Shen Jizi made his move, but suddenly the AI in the computer stopped.

Huh? What’s going on? Xiao Jie tapped the computer monitor, hoping it wasn’t bugged.

Under normal circumstances, the AI calculates at lightning speed; it made immediate moves in the previous two games. Why had it frozen this time?

Was there a malfunction?

Xiao Jie was worried but had no solution; he could only wait anxiously.

Thankfully, the AI had not truly frozen. After a full two to three minutes, smack, it finally made a move.

Just so long as it could make a move.

Smack! Shen Jizi instantly replied, but the AI froze again.

Xiao Jie had an inkling that something was not right; it felt like the AI and Shen Jizi had switched their roles in attack and defense.

He tried his best to scrutinize the chessboard only to see the black and white pieces entangled in an intense battle; with his skill level, he was unable to discern the state of the game.

However, the AI’s struggle with the speed of play clearly indicated that the opponent had the upper hand.

The AI took a full five minutes to make a move, and the victory rate plummeted from 87.2% to 63.5% in an instant.

Shen Jizi made another move.

This time it took the AI a full seven minutes to respond, and the winning percentage further decreased to 56.4%.

Several pieces later, the victory rate had tumbled to 36.7%.

Even Xiao Jie could see that something was terribly wrong; a major group of pieces, a "dragon," was on the verge of being slain on the board.

What the hell is happening?

Smack! The AI made another move, and the winning rate climbed by 3%.

A look of admiration flashed across Shen Jizi’s face, "Young friend, your chess skill is indeed remarkable. No one has been able to match me once I use ’It Transformation Freedom Heart’. Your profound skill in chess even helped you to momentarily turn the tide, which is truly admirable. If fate allows, you should visit me in Gu Yun State someday. We will drink and be merry, and bond over a game of chess."

Xiao Jie felt relieved hearing this; it seemed that his opponent had thoroughly enjoyed this win.

But to be able to defeat even the AI, this person was truly proficient.

"The Immortal’s chess skill is peerless, truly unmatchable. I have never lost a game before, but now—"

"Hahaha, my young friend, don’t belittle yourself. Among mortals, your chess is transcendent. Yet I am no ordinary person, and one should not measure me by the standards of regular humans.

I just used a technique of Immortal Law, otherwise, it would still be difficult to defeat you."

"Immortal Law?"

"Yes, this Immortal Law is a technique that I meticulously developed called ’It Transformation Freedom Heart,’ which can perceive all things, exhaust the extremities of principles and mathematics. You see, there is a fixed pattern to everything. As long as one’s computational power is sufficient, one can instantly obtain the outcomes of all changes in the universe, thus peering into the Heavenly Secret, observing the Mystic Universe, and even predicting the future."
