Not A Cultivator 36 The Size of a Go Board Is Only 19x19!

As a scholar, he was one of the trusted and kindest veteran scholars among his generation. If someone they knew that Kong Ling Jue was a fraud, it will definitely turn the entire Xiang Lan Nation upside down.

Meanwhile, Feng Ao Xiu was smiling in his heart. Looks like studying the array formation the last three years wasn't all for nought. It works perfectly on a musical performance, but he couldn't use it on Go. There is no array formation to win at Go. If he faces someone good at Go, He'll definitely lose. What to do!?

Although He Min knew got the gist of what is happening, he still wants to inquire more information. Slowly, he approached from Feng Ao Xiu, "Brother Fei, I didn't know you were that good at array formation?"

Feng Ao Xiu laughs and did not respond.

He Min asked again. "You're not actually a beggar aren't you?"

"Brother Fei, could it be that you..."

Feng Ao Xiu drops a cold sweat.

[Could he have found out that I'm Feng Ao Xiu?]

"You are searching the spirit stones for your array formation!"

"Ah... Yes! Yes! You're right!", that gives him a shock. He thought the jewellery store employee found out everything.

"And, you are dressing like a beggar is also a requirement for the array formation?"

"That's right!", Feng Ao Xiu nodded. "It's time for the Go match! Let's go!"

He Min nodded and follows Feng Ao Xiu. However, his thought was in a jumble.

[It's not for the array formation! Then what is it for!?]

He Min has read Feng Ao Xiu's face clearly. Once again, he found a lie from the face in front of him. However, it did not diminish his curiosity. Instead, he becomes more suspicious,

[Whatever it is, I will find out!]

The host shouts, "Let the game begin!"

There's 8 Go board on the stage. Each with a Go arrangement problem. If one can solve the arrangement, he will go to the next stage. A lot of participants were moving around, seeking the easiest Go arrangement. However, It's futile, all of them were very hard.

Mo Tie Yang asked, "Bu Liang, It seems the problem is harder this year."

Bu Liang nodded, "Yes! I deliberately made it so! I intend to increase the quality of the Go Player."

The purpose of the Scholar Association Four Arts Contest was to recruit commoner into scholars. If someone among them was good, then the Scholar Association will invite someone to be a scholar.

Mo Tie Yang also nodded, "Yes, It's good that you raise the difficulty bar. But remember that Feng Ao Xiu's Number One Fan is mine. I'm going to make him my disciple!"

Kong Ling Jue shook his head. You can't recruit him because he's Feng Ao Xiu.

Now that he thinks about it, they should have stopped the participant from withdrawing in the earlier contest. However, its too late, Feng Ao Xiu was the only participant in the music category. Looks like there will be no new scholar in the music category.

A young man was standing in front of the Go board and said, "Master Bu Liang, I have the answer for the third problem, row 17, column 8."

"Wrong!"

The host followed, "Aaaah... It's too bad! I'm sorry, but you're eliminated!"

Feng Ao Xiu shook his head. The system was too fierce. One wrong answer and you got eliminated right away.

Time passed, lots of people started answering.

"First problem, row 2, column 11."

"Wrong!"

"Eighth problem, row 10, column 7."

"Wrong!"

The participants got eliminated one after another.

The host shouts, "Five minutes left!"

The rest of the participants became panic.

[This is too hard! We got no much time left! The eliminated already answer every possible answer we could think of.]

They began to answer the less possible answer.

"Fifth problem, row 4, column 14."

"Wrong!"

"Seventh problem, row 12, column 12."

"There's already a stone in that position! Wrong!"

"Second problem, row 4, column 20."

"The size of a Go board is only 19x19! Wrong!"

"Ninth problem, row 15, column 3."

"We don't have a ninth problem! Wrong!"

"Tenth problem, row -10, column 22."

"F*ck you! You're just here to make trouble! Get out of here, before I kill you!"

In the end, only Feng Ao Xiu and He Min remained on the stage, the others were eliminated.

The host shouts, "Ten seconds left!"

Feng Ao Xiu only stares at the eight Go boards while shaking his head. While He Min was relaxed, as he already received the answer from his master Kong Ling Jue. Still, he's watching Feng Ao Xiu closely.

The host shouts, "Time's up!!"

[Is this it!? It ends!? No next stage either?]

Bu Liang asked, "Why did you two not answer?"

Feng Ao Xiu said, "I can't solve any of it."

He Min shook his head.

Bu Liang nodded, "Congratulations! The two of you have advanced to the next stage!"

Feng Ao Xiu let out a sigh from depression.

[I really can't think of a good answer. They're all very hard, it's only right that I get eliminate... Wait! What!?]

Bu Liang explains, "Both of you are correct. You couldn't solve them because they're impossible to be solved! Only fools would answer at an unsolvable problem."

The crowd grew frenzy again. So, it's like that! These two must be a genius. Especially Feng Ao Xiu's Number One Fan, not only did he dominate the music category, but he also advances in the Go category.

He Min was shocked! He did not believe that this young man was also good at solving Go problems. This young man was not just a non-ordinary person, but also a genius!

The host said, "Since only the two of you are left. There will only be one Go match. May the best man win!"

The two sat on the stage. Feng Ao Xiu used the black stones, so he made the first move. He placed his first stone in the lower left.

He Min immediately places his beside Feng Ao Xiu's. "Brother Fei, I did not know you were so good at Go."

Feng Ao Xiu expanded his territory with a horse move. Feng Ao Xiu laughs, "Brother Fei too! You also realize they can't be solved. You must be really good at Go!"

He Min followed by expanding to the other side. "It's not much."

The game continues. In the hundredth move, He Min has the upper hand. It's almost certain that he will win.

However, He Min couldn't help but worry.

[How could I have won again such an expert? He was smart enough to know the eight unsolvable problems, but why is he losing? Could this be a trap?]

Feng Ao Xiu felt depressed. Fei Bao Xing, the jewellery store employee was much stronger than him. He quickly made a weird move, he placed his stone near the centre. He hopes that this move could confuse his opponent.

"It's a bad move!"

"Why would he put it there?"

"Looks like Feng Ao Xiu's Number One Fan is not that good at Go."

However, this move successfully weakened He Min.

[What move is this? Why did he place a stone there? It doesn't make any sense! It must be a trap!]

He Min felt the pressure and decided to fortify his defences.

Feng Ao Xiu also became confused.

[Why didn't he attack? He should be able to win if he kept the attack?]

Eventually, Feng Ao Xiu was the one who made an offence. Meanwhile, He Min did not dare to attack and focus on his defence. He kept defending several times until he made a mistake. In the end, he put the stone in the wrong position.

The juries and crowds shook their head.

"Ahh... Fei Bao Xing is doing good, but he makes a mistake at a critical time like this."

"What are you doing? How could you make such a childish mistake?"

When there is an opportunity, this Second Young Master will surely take it.

Feng Ao Xiu took the opportunity, he slowly trapped He Min's stone. He Min tried to save his stone, but it's futile. The stone was trapped, there's nothing more he can do.

The match ended with Feng Ao Xiu's winning by two points.

"Amazing! He turns it around!"

"That move that I thought was bad is actually a divine move!"

"Feng Ao Xiu's Number One Fan is awesome!"

All the juries and the audience give Feng Ao Xiu a standing ovation. However, one person did not, that is Kong Ling Jue.

[Did anyone notice!? Feng Ao Xiu is cheating!]
