Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Do unto Others as They Do unto You (2nd update)

”Chess Madman?”

”Yes! The reason for such a nickname is because this guy’s style of playing chess is like that of a real madman, charging wildly and erratically, with an extremely frenzied approach to the game, and his killer moves are terrifying! He’s especially good at dealing with those chess players who have a stable and solid style.”

Having said this, the chess player looked at Xue An with a mischievous smile, ”Isn’t he good at playing a solid and steady game? Now that he’s up against the Chess Madman, I bet he’ll be so frustrated he won’t even be able to cry!”

Sure enough.

Just as this person had said.

This man, who appeared to be honest and simple, transformed into someone else entirely when he held the chess pieces in his hand, his eyes instantly becoming manic, his expression as ferocious and terrifying as a madman’s.

With one move, he directly targeted the center of Xue An’s board.

Such an arrogantly aggressive opening caused a low murmur of surprise to sweep through the crowd.

Even those who did not recognize the big man could now tell what type of chess player he was, and thus, they had no hope for Xue An’s game.

But just when everyone thought Xue An had surely lost this game.

Xue An looked up and gave the big man across from him a chilling smile, ”I really like your style!”

With that, Xue An made his move without any hesitation.

His move was not just a straightforward thrust into his opponent’s center; it was a strike right at the opponent’s forehead.

This move, even more arrogant than the big man’s, left the entire audience in shock.

”Am I seeing things? Wasn’t he just known for his solid play? How did he suddenly change his style?” someone exclaimed.

The Chess Madman was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, and a fiery anger ignited within him.

No one had ever dared to play chess with him like this; to him, it was a great insult.

Consequently, he gave a ferocious laugh and moved his pieces with lightning speed, unleashing an extremely fierce offensive.

His aggression was enough to alarm the spectators.

But soon.

All the onlookers were dumbstruck.

For as fierce and frantic as the Chess Madman’s attack was.

Xue An was even more ferocious and even more frenzied.

His almost reckless way of playing made many people feel bewildered.

Was this person, who had just now been too cautious to even probe, and who now seemed like a demon just freed from hell, really the same player?

The Chess Madman’s complexion gradually turned pale.

For he found that everything he prided himself on became dull and lackluster in the face of Xue An.

Whether it was his offensive or his strategy, Xue An was steadily crushing him.

This disparity, seemingly not significant at first, filled the Chess Madman with utter despair, for no matter what he tried or how hard he struggled, he couldn’t close the gap by even a fraction.

Finally.

After an incense stick’s duration.

The game suddenly paused, and then Xue An shook his head and said indifferently, ”It seems your playing style is still not crazy enough!”

After speaking, Xue An made his move.

This piece landed right in the middle of the big man’s gameplay, like a sharp blade piercing directly into his flank.

Instantly, the white pieces belonging to the Chess Madman began to vanish crazily, while Xue An’s black pieces spread out and occupied the entire board.

”You’ve lost,” Xue An said calmly.

The big man’s face was ashen, and he stared blankly for a while before suddenly opening his mouth to spew a large mouthful of fresh blood, then collapsed, unconscious.

Naturally, physicians were on standby during this chess competition.

Because a contentious game of chess could often consume all of a chess player’s energy, even depleting all of their Divine Sense, and if they were not rescued in time, their Divine Sense would shatter, and their soul would be destroyed.

So when this Chess Madman collapsed, physicians quickly carried him away for emergency treatment.

At this, the entire crowd fell silent.

To have defeated the Chess Madman so thoroughly as to make him vomit blood, just how high was Xue An’s level of chess?

Many people looked at Xue An with disbelief.

Because they suddenly realized a terrifying fact.

That was, although the competition had only gone through two rounds, Xue An had already switched his style twice, and both times they were the styles that his opponents were best at.

Could it be... he was doing this on purpose?

Some people had just started to entertain this thought when they felt a chill and then forcefully dismissed it.

Because if it were true, that would be too terrifying.

This time, Xue An was the first to finish his match in the second round.

After finishing, he began to survey the other players’ games.

He saw Gong Changyue locked in a fierce battle with an old man. It looked challenging, but the game seemed winnable for Gong Changyue.

As for Zhuge Xuanqing, she had also encountered a strong opponent. A fierce skirmish had unfolded between them. Although the overall situation indicated that Zhuge Xuanqing would definitely win, her opponent’s relentless defiance was causing her significant trouble.

While Xue An was observing all this,

Jing Tianrui’s game also came to an end. His opponent had some good skills, but was ultimately defeated.

After securing his victory, Jing Tianrui turned his head to glance at Zhuge Xuanqing’s match. Seeing that she was still struggling, a smug expression spread across his face, thinking he had likely secured the lead this time.

But when he looked around the room, he saw Xue An sitting atop a high platform, watching him with a smirk.

He couldn’t help but be stunned.

What happened?

Had his game finished already?

But why was he still sitting there? Did that mean... he had won again?

Waves of shock surged through Jing Tianrui’s heart.

At that moment, Xue An stretched out his hand, making a throat-slitting gesture at Jing Tianrui, and then his lips slightly moved as he softly uttered two words.

”Wait for it!”

A dead silence fell over the entire venue.

Everyone was stunned by Xue An’s actions.

Jing Tianrui’s eyelids twitched wildly, his eyes burning with fury.

No one had ever dared to show such disrespect towards him.

I must utterly crush this guy!

Jing Tianrui roared inwardly.

A murderous intent also emerged in Xue An’s eyes.

Xue An was naturally aware that Jing Tianrui had just tried to target him.

But that wasn’t the main reason.

The main reason was that, through Jing Tianrui’s recent game, Xue An had sensed a certain aura.

This aura gradually brought out a cold murderous intent in Xue An’s heart.

At this moment,

The second round of the competition gradually came to an end.

After eliminating half the players, only thirty chess masters remained on the platforms, making it look empty.

Zhuge Xuanqing naturally advanced smoothly.

And Gong Changyue, who was initially not favored by the crowd, had won two consecutive games and advanced to the third round as well.

The tournament had reached a critical moment.

Another draw for the matches began.

But when the players revealed their lots, Gong Changyue, who had been full of joy, shuddered, and the happiness on his face froze.

Because his opponent this time was Di Yuanlong!
