Six members of the Nanzhou team successfully entered the finals, and they were still the team with the most members entering the finals. Those who did not enter the finals were Long Du, Deng Lele, Shi Nian, and Yi Wei. Although they were eliminated, no one was sad. They were very open-minded and felt that being able to enter the semi-finals was enough. After the semi-finals, the four of them happily went to visit Kyoto.

The remaining six people, except Lin Yuxi, closed the door of their rooms to study. The top 20 could be admitted to Beihua University, and the tuition for four years would be free. Since they had already made it to the finals, they had to work harder.

Lin Yuxi's practice consumed a lot of spiritual energy, so she went to sleep immediately after finishing the practice to restore her spiritual energy. It was already ten o'clock when she woke up the next day. While it was still early, Lin Yuxi continued to sleep for a while.

The final required everyone to arrive at the Beihua University Gymnasium at 4 pm. The venue was full of people, including the previously eliminated players, teachers and students from Beihua University, some high school students from Kyoto, and many reporters.

The competition time is from 3:30 pm to 9 pm, a total of five and a half hours. Everyone is wondering what the competition is about in such a long time.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone came in one after another, and they were surprised to see that there were more than a dozen competition venues set up in the gymnasium.

The venue is equipped with competition venues for calligraphy, Go, Chinese painting, traditional musical instruments, chess, paper cutting, dance, etc., and each venue has a camera.

After entering the venue, the contestants looked at everything in front of them. They looked at each other. Aren’t we here to participate in the high school knowledge competition? What are these? What are they for? Did we go to the wrong venue? But when they saw more than a dozen banners of the National High School Knowledge League hanging in the venue, they knew they were right.

Lin Yuxi also thought at first that she had come to the wrong place, but then she thought, Beihua always likes to surprise people.

Following the guidance of the volunteers, the students participating in the finals sat in their seats.

At 15:30 sharp, the lights in the entire gymnasium came on.

Hosts Li Xiang and Xu Ling walked onto the stage.

"Welcome everyone to the finals of the National High School Knowledge League. I am the host, Li Xiang."

"I'm the host Xu Ling."

"Good afternoon, everyone in the audience here and watching on TV."

"Good afternoon." The audience clapped excitedly.

"When everyone entered the venue, they saw that we had set up many competition venues, which shows that our finals are not just a simple test."

"Saw."

"Yes, Beihua University focuses on the all-round development of students' moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor qualities, so we hope to see everyone's performance in the finals. Before reading the rules of the competition, let us introduce the 40 students participating in the finals again."

"First up is Lin Yuxi, the student with the highest points before the finals."

The camera panned to Lin Yuxi, who stood up and bowed politely.

"Come on, Sister Lin."

"Sister Lin, I love you."

"The second place is Qian Shu, who ranked second in points before the finals."

"..."

"Congratulations again to the 40 students who have entered the finals. Now, Ms. An Ning from Peking University, the organizer of the National High School Knowledge Contest, will introduce the rules of the finals to you."

"This final focuses on the all-round development of students, and examines students' levels in calligraphy, paper cutting, traditional musical instruments, Go, chess, Chinese painting and other aspects. Judges and volunteers will introduce the rules to everyone at each venue. After passing each item and getting a green card from the judges, 50 points will be added."

"Every student must participate in at least one and at most two. However, please pay attention. There are 600 questions waiting for you to answer. Each correct answer will earn you one point. Students who get full marks will get 300 points. Students who do not get full marks but are the first place will get 200 points. The second place student will get 180 points, and so on..."

"Oh, so you mean to finish 5 questions and two supplementary bonus items within 600 hours, right? In other words, you don't have to do the supplementary bonus items."

"You have to take one to do 600 questions."

"You only get 1 point for completing a question, but if you pass the auxiliary bonus items, you can get 100 points. The temptation on both sides is so great."

The audience discussed quietly on the spot.

“Finally, I hope all students can enjoy these five hours and achieve satisfactory results.”

Applause broke out in the venue.

Not only the audience on site, but also the number of people watching the live broadcast has reached the number of people in the annual Spring Festival Gala. Even the click rate has been rising. Everyone is paying attention to this final.

40 students walked towards the competition site, all thinking about what they would choose first. Lin Yuxi looked at these projects and couldn't help but hold her forehead. She had been through so many reincarnations and knew a little bit of every skill. She fell into deep thought, what should she choose?

After taking a look at all the competition events, Lin Yuxi chose a Go arena where no one was present.

"Sister Lin, why don't you do the test? You'll definitely get first place if you do the test."

"Didn't you understand the rules of the competition? You have to choose at least two auxiliary items, and you can only do the test regardless of whether you pass or fail one of them."

"Oooo."

"Sister Lin knows how to play Go?"

"I do not know."

"I do not know either."

"I have not seen."

"Hey, the rules of the competition don't say you have to win to pass, it's just that the judges have to give you a green card."

Lin Yuxi's grandparents and the entire family were at home cheering for Lin Yuxi.

"Come on, Yuxi."

"Come on, second sister."

"Come on, auntie."

The person in charge of the Go competition was Ji Zhun, the president of the Beihua University Go Club. Ji Zhun was also the champion of the 2016 National Go Championship. When he saw someone coming, the stone in his heart finally fell. He was really afraid that no one would choose Go.

"Wait, why does this guy look so familiar?"

"I checked, this person is Ji Zhun, the champion of the last National Go Tournament."

"Oh oh oh, I remember, it's him, I watched this game last time."

"Is Beihua University serious? They have invited the national champion."

"Fuck, Sister Lin is in danger."

"Sister Lin is still laughing now. Does she know who her opponent is?"

"Sister Lin, turn around quickly and don't come."

"Sister Lin is in danger."

Lin Yuxi knew who Ji Zhun was, but since she was here, she was naturally confident of defeating Ji Zhun. After all, he was Zefeng, known as the chess god by the people of Lingguo in Piaomiao Continent, and he created his own chess style, 'Zefeng chess'. The cultural background of Piaomiao Continent is exactly the same as that of Earth, and the same is true for Go, except that the names are different. In Piaomiao Continent, Go is called pursuit chess, and the name is as the name suggests. There is a saying circulating in Piaomiao Continent that no matter how bad the game is, in Zefeng's hands, it will turn defeat into victory.

"Hello, classmate. My name is Ji Zhun." Ji Zhun stood up and greeted Lin Yuxi.

Lin Yuxi responded with a smile: "Hello, my name is Lin Yuxi."

"The chessboard prepared by Beihua University is an ordinary 19-way chessboard, mainly because everyone is more familiar with the 19-way chessboard.

Lin Yuxi was sitting opposite Ji Zhun.

First, let’s guess what goes first. Lin Yuxi plays black chess and Ji Zhun plays white chess.

Ji Zhun made a 'please' gesture.

Lin Yuxi nodded and put it in the upper right corner to show politeness.

Ji Zhun is a person who takes Go very seriously. He will not look down on Lin Yuxi just because she is a high school student, but will give it his all.

"How is it? Does anyone know how to play Go?"

"If anyone knows, please help explain."

“Some people understand, but not very well.”

"You have mastered the art of nonsense literature."

"Both of them have very weird moves."

Jury seat.

"Teacher Cheng, do you think Ji Zhun will let this student off?"

"Qinghe, you know your senior brother Ji's temper." The old man who was called teacher was Cheng Qi, the president of the Chinese Go Association. He had won nine consecutive international Go championships and was also Ji Zhun's master.

Mu Qinghe smiled and said, "Yes, I still remember how I was defeated by Senior Brother Ji Zhun when I first joined the Go Club. I hope this classmate's mental quality can catch up with mine."

"Hahaha." Cheng Qi touched his non-existent beard.

Ji Zhun is Cheng Qi's most valued disciple, and is also a player who is expected to compete with Kim Jong-kyung from the neighboring country of Simida for the International Go Championship. What Cheng Qi admires most about Ji Zhun is his seriousness and obsession with Go, and the fact that he will do his best no matter who he faces.

At the beginning, Lin Yuxi played very steadily, making Ji Zhun mistakenly believe that Lin Yuxi could play Go but was not very good at it. Then, she gradually lured Ji Zhun into a complicated battle situation and began to change the offensive. There was a murderous aura in her moves.

When in Ling State, Ze Feng's chess skills were even more murderous, because she was not only the best chess player in the world, but also the Prime Minister of Ling State. Although she was a scholar, some people compared her writing style to a sword, killing people without being seen.

Go in Piaomiao Continent is more difficult than modern Go on Earth, because Piaomiao Continent has always attached great importance to cultural development. Therefore, Lin Yuxi can accurately see every move made by Ji Zhun and then attack with precision.

Cheng Qi saw the situation on the chessboard and frowned: "This little student's offensive is very fierce."

"What do you mean?" Mu Qinghe asked.

Cheng Qi didn't point it out: "Look at the chess."

Ji Zhun felt the murderous aura from Lin Yuxi and realized that he might have misjudged the strength of the person in front of him, so he became extremely alert.

Lin Yuxi seemed to be back in Lingguo when she was playing chess with like-minded friends, and was completely immersed in the game with Ji Zhun.

The further it went on, the more Ji Zhun felt an inexplicable pressure on his head. It was only March, but a big drop of sweat fell on his forehead.

"Teacher, why do I feel like Senior Brother Ji Zhun is at a disadvantage?"

Cheng Qi glanced at the student who was talking and uttered three words: "Interesting."

Twenty minutes later, the situation on the chessboard was clear at a glance, and Ji Zhun pressed the chess clock on his right hand to end the game.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"It seems, it seems that Sister Lin won."

"It's not like that, Sister Lin just won."

“Even though I can’t understand it, I can tell who’s winning and who’s losing by looking at their expressions.”

"Is it true that the one who has more pieces on the board wins?"

"uncertain."

"Oh my god, Sister Lin won the national championship."

"What? How did you win?"

"Sister Lin beat Ji Zhun by one and a half points."

There is a heated discussion going on in the barrage.

The audience and judges who knew Go were dumbfounded. They knew Ji Zhun's level. He was a professional 9th ​​dan and was known as the first person in the country to win the Go championship. Yet, he was defeated by a high school student.

The moment Ji Zhun pressed the bell, Lin Yuxi came to her senses. She had been too immersed in the chess game. Looking at Ji Zhun's pale face, Lin Yuxi thought, no, a high school student like me would not be able to undermine Ji Zhun's self-confidence, right? He will win glory for the country in the future.

Just as Lin Yuxi was about to speak, Ji Zhun stood up first, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, classmate, you won and passed the test."

"Thank you." Lin Yuxi also stretched out her hand and half-shaked with Ji Zhun. She was worried about undermining Ji Zhun's self-confidence, but then she changed her mind and thought that the champion's ability to withstand stress must be much stronger than that of ordinary people. Ji Zhun should not care if he won a game.
