The Human Emperor (200-400)

C393: The Furious Xu Qiqin!

"Thank you, gongzi!"

As happy as that recruit was, he didn't forget to bow respectfully to thank Wang Chong before delightfully making his way out. He had thought that he didn't stand a chance in this examination, so he was pleasantly surprised when he actually passed.

"Good luck!" Without turning around, Wang Chong waved him off.

From the game with that recruit, he discovered the other party's unyielding spirit and ability to outperform himself in desperate times.

Even though he was on the verge of losing, he still held on persistently, far longer than Wang Chong had expected him to.

This was also the reason why he could confidently ask Xu Qiqin how many moves she had used in the game against him.

A moment later, the second successful examinee emerged.

"Congratulations, you have passed the examination!" Wang Chong smiled at a recruit from Longwei Training Camp as he relayed the good news.

"Thank you, gongzi! Thank you very much!" The recruit quickly bowed in gratitude.

"What is with your judgement? Even a person like him can clear the examination? He doesn't even know how to play Go! That fellow doesn't even know the basic rules of the game!"

It was one thing for the first examinee, but seeing that Wang Chong cleared even such a person, Xu Qiqin could no longer hold back her rage anymore.

She couldn't help but feel that Wang Chong was intentionally provoking her.

She had crossed hands with that examinee earlier, and there were many occasions where he seemed to be ignorant of the rules of the game and she had to remind him of them. The silly chuckle that the latter made every time after making a mistake just seemed to rub her the wrong way.

It was one thing for the others to pass the examination, but if Wang Chong couldn't come up with a valid reason for his victory, she would never let this slide.

This was going too far!

"He might have made quite a few mistakes throughout the game, but do you think that he is really ignorant of the rules? Lin Changting, recite the rules of Go to him!" Wang Chong said with a wave of his hands.

Lin Changting gazed at Wang Chong in astonishment.

It hadn't been long since he had started learning Go, so it wasn't entirely wrong for Xu Qiqin to say that he didn't know how to play the game. However, what eft him truly astonished was how confident Wang Chong was that he knew the rules of Go and could recite it.

"Y-yes, gongzi!" As surprised as Lin Changting was, he quickly recited the rules. A bunch of Go jargon came out of his mouth fluently without much thought.

Hearing the other party recite the huge chunk of rules that consisted of over a thousand words, astonishment flashed across Xu Qiqin's eyes. She had played against that fellow, and the feeling the other party gave her was that he was a fool.

But this whole long bunch of rules, not even skilled players of Go would necessarily be able to recite it. Yet, the fool before her eyes actually managed to recite them fluently!

This left her eyes widening in shock.

The difference in his performance before and his actions now was simply too great; it was as if they were two different people!

She couldn't imagine how the same person could be so different before her and Wang Chong.

Furthermore, how did Wang Chong manage to see through him?
