Chapter 173: 157 Shocking Kill Formation Part 1



He understood in a flash.

This… Senior Li had been guiding him just now!

He looked over the game of Go once again.

The black pieces flowed freely, evolving to their extremes; many of the constraints he had on his path of chess were unlocked at this moment.

The white pieces, on the other hand, showed no intention of combat but seemed laid back and casual, as if randomly placed on the board.

However, he could see that Senior Li was using the white pieces to guide him! Was this the might of a Chess Grandmaster with supreme cultivation level? Normally, teaching prayers would always require various breakdowns and such.

But Senior Li simply used a game of Go.

And allowed him to understand the supreme mysteries of the path of chess.

What was most astonishing was that from beginning to end, Senior Li had only been guiding; all of the evolutions, all of the realizations, were all his own.

If Jiang Li was originally just a tiny seed, then now Li Fan was guiding him to grow into a towering tree.

Heaven!

Such a realm… beyond imagination!

Unable to help himself, he stood up and gave Li Fan a deep bow, saying,

“Thank you, sir, for your great kindness. In this life, I do not know how 1 could possibly repay you!”

He was filled with immense gratitude.

“It was a simple effort, no need for thanks,”

Li Fan said with a smile.

Jiang Li’s heart surged with emotion, and a bold idea flashed through his mind, making his heart thump; albeit hesitating for an instant, he gritted his teeth and spoke up,

“Senior… Disciple, disciple wishes to…”

“Disciple wishes to take you as my master!”

He said, kneeling on the ground once more!

In his eyes was a mix of trepidation and nervousness.

He knew his request was far too presumptuous.

Such supreme beings only acted upon destiny; being too demanding often led to the opposite of the desired outcome.

Moreover, having already been granted such a favor, having advanced a ‘Thousand Li’ in a day on his path of chess, grasping profound mysteries… and yet he still dared hope to take Senior Li as his master. Truly, he was too greedy! But he couldn’t suppress the longing in his heart.

This was a supreme opportunity.

If he could follow Senior Li and learn from him, he truly could witness the endless vistas of the path of chess.

The more breakthroughs he made, the more he realized how insignificant he was, the more he wanted to explore the vastest of worlds.

Seeing this, Fire Spirit and Mu Qianning also revealed complex expressions.

Indeed, no matter who it was, or what the situation, Senior Li had the ability to command respect!

The surrounding disciples all looked towards Li Fan.

Would the teacher accept him?

Upon seeing this, Li Fan also paused.

To take him as a disciple?

He thought for a moment. This Jiang Li, in terms of talent in the path of chess… was actually passable!

And also, he had been worrying about finding disciples to take on!

Furthermore, based on what Fire Spirit and others had told him, Jiang Li’s character was commendable, not a wicked person.

How could he not accept a disciple who presented himself so willingly?

However, Li Fan suddenly thought.

This Jiang Li… had no small entanglements, having defected from the reborn one!

Li Fan… did not wish to get involved in the affairs of cultivators.

Because he knew, as a mere mortal, he was someone who could not afford to provoke trouble!

Thinking this, he hesitated slightly.

“We can discuss this matter later. You go now and settle the matters of the wager with them,”

Li Fan said immediately.

If he could return safely and still desired to become a disciple, then of course he could be accepted.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Li was momentarily taken aback.

But, he quickly understood.

Senior… had not outright rejected him!

But instead… had given him a task?

After settling this matter, might he still have a chance?

With this thought, he was ecstatic!

Wonderful!

He promptly bowed deeply to Li Fan and said,

“Senior, rest assured, Jiang Li will give his all!”

Only by defeating Chen Xuanbei could he have the chance to become a disciple.

At this moment, he was very excited!

“Alright, off you go,”

Li Fan said immediately.

Fire Spirit and the others were also exceedingly joyful; now that Jiang Li had received Li Fan’s guidance, he would surely be able to contend with Chen Xuanbei!

They immediately bade farewell and turned to leave.

“Oh, and by the way,”

At this moment, Li Fan suddenly spoke again,

“On the seventy-first move, you actually could have evolved a killing move by changing the Horizontal Nine to Vertical Ten.”

“However, this move would activate all your pieces, transforming them into a lethal formation, quite merciless; if not necessary, there is no need to use it,” He reminded.

After all, he rather hoped that Jiang Li could win.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li replayed the game in his mind and was immediately stunned.

“So… so my game of Go… would have turned into a terrifying killing formation?!”

He once again felt the profound unfathomability of Senior Li.

A casual remark held the supreme variations of the path of chess.

“Jiang Li will remember it well,”

He said gravely!

Without delay, they all left.

As they walked away from the small village, Jiang Li couldn’t help but stop, turn around, and bow once more toward the village!

“Jiang Li… Is this man really that terrifying?”

Even Wu Dade expressed his doubts!

He truly couldn’t feel it at all!

It seemed like a very amiable man, almost looking to be about Jiang Li’s age. Could he really be so frightening?

Hearing this, Jiang Li had a complicated look as he glanced at him and said,
