Chapter 307: The Exquisite Chess Game

Elder Mo led Su Ming through two stone doors covered in restrictive arrays, arriving at a meditation room located at the very top of the Spiritual Hub Hall.

There was no underfloor heating here, making the temperature much lower than outside. The walls were all made of bluish-grey basalt, and aside from a star chart and a Go board placed on a low table, there was nothing else.

"Sit."

Elder Mo wasted no words, sitting directly on one side of the Go board. With a wave of his large sleeve, the scattered black and white stones on the board seemed to come alive, returning to their positions on their own.

Su Ming sat down as instructed, his gaze falling on the board. This was not ordinary Go. The board had nineteen intersecting lines in each direction, each line faintly glowing with spiritual light. The intersections were not solid points but slightly depressed holes, like miniature formation cores.

"This is the 'Ingenious Go' board." Elder Mo picked up a black stone. "It does not test combat, only demonstrates formation principles. For this game, I will set up the 'Trapped Dragon Formation.' You break it."

*Click.*

The black stone landed, and a murderous aura instantly rose from the board.

Su Ming felt his vision blur. The board seemed to transform into a towering cage, countless black chains materializing out of thin air, twisting and tightening toward his position.

"Master?" Su Ming called out in his Consciousness Sea."Don't look at me, that old man is testing your fundamentals." Lin Yu's voice sounded lazily. "The black stones on this board are nodes of murderous aura, the white stones are spiritual energy hubs. What you need to do is not capture his stones, but let your own energy survive within his encirclement."

Su Ming took a deep breath and picked up a white stone.

The moment his fingertip touched the stone, the cool sensation instantly calmed his heated mind.

*Click.*

The white stone landed, driving a wedge into the gap where the black chains were about to close.

Elder Mo's expression remained unchanged as he immediately placed a second stone.
