The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

181: Chapter 181: Challenging Huangfu Heibai 181: Chapter 181: Challenging Huangfu Heibai Now, Su Changfeng’s advantage on the board is gradually expanding, while Sima Chenguang’s moves are starting to slow down, which implies that his situation is not very good, surprising everyone a bit.

Is this student Liu Chen really this strong?

No one had heard of such a figure before, could Liu Chen have deliberately hidden this person’s strength?

As the game approached its end, the winner was still not revealed, but anyone who understands Go could see what the final result would be.

Perhaps Huangfu Heibai was getting impatient; having not watched the entire process, he said to Sima Chenguang: “It’s been dragging on for so long, isn’t it about time now?”

This statement put considerable pressure on Sima Chenguang.

When Su Changfeng heard Huangfu Heibai say this, he muttered, “It is indeed almost time.”

Instantly, the offensive from the black pieces became unstoppable, and the white pieces quickly crumbled.

The outcome was clear, and Sima Chenguang’s face turned gray.

“Lost, actually really lost.”

“I didn’t expect it, that it would turn out like this in the end.”

“Impressive, I never thought there would be such a figure in Hai City.”

Hearing the crowd’s exclamations, Huangfu Heibai chuckled with pride, as it was his student who emerged; a lack of skill would have been odd.

“Liu Chen, it’s your turn now.” Huangfu Heibai said to Liu Chen.

Liu Chen turned his head, smiling as he looked at Huangfu Heibai: “Even if I go next, what meaning is there since your student has already lost?”

Hearing Liu Chen say this, Huangfu Heibai’s expression cooled as he retorted, “That’s impossible!

Sima Chenguang is a student I trained, he couldn’t possibly lose, are you planning to lie in front of everyone here?”

“Senior Huangfu, indeed your student has lost.”

“And it was a complete defeat.”

“I didn’t expect the president’s student to be this formidable!”

When Huangfu Heibai stepped up to the board, he saw the white pieces had lost thoroughly, while Sima Chenguang’s face was ashen.

Defeated!

Truly defeated!

“I’m very sorry, Master, I have let you down,” Sima Chenguang said in agony, even he did not expect that the person he had completely looked down on would possess such formidable strength.

Throughout the game, Sima Chenguang felt immense pressure, as if being pinned to the ground.

Huangfu Heibai gritted his teeth and coldly said, “I told you before, don’t underestimate the opponent.

It seems you didn’t take it to heart!”

In Huangfu Heibai’s eye, Sima Chenguang was indeed too careless, which is why he lost to Su Changfeng.

However, Sima Chenguang knew that even if he exerted 100% of his strength, he couldn’t compete with Su Changfeng.

“Senior Huangfu, would you be willing to enlighten me?” Su Changfeng suddenly said.

Su Changfeng’s words immediately stirred up the whole room, even Liu Chen’s face turned quite pale.

Having defeated Sima Chenguang, he dared to say such a thing, isn’t this clearly provoking Huangfu Heibai?

“Young man, do you know what you’re talking about?

Do you think you are qualified to be an opponent of Senior Huangfu Heibai?”

“You are incredibly lucky to defeat Senior Huangfu’s student, and you dare to be so arrogant?”

“Young man, be restrained or you’ll be utterly disgraced in a moment!”

The association members all glared at Su Changfeng in anger, very dissatisfied with his rudeness.

Liu Chen knew that Su Changfeng challenging Huangfu Heibai was certain death, and quickly said, “Hurry and apologize.”

Su Changfeng stared intently at Huangfu Heibai.

According to Gu Changsheng, this opportunity truly was rare, if missed, there might never be another chance in his life.

Even if defeated, so what?

If he didn’t challenge this once, how would he know his true limits?

Gu Changsheng, different from others, particularly appreciated Su Changfeng.

Young as he was, if he lacked even this bit of courage, he wouldn’t be a young person.

Young people should courageously forge ahead!

Huangfu Heibai indeed had a prominent reputation, but if one’s steps falter due to fear of reputations, isn’t that a sign of cowardice?

“Senior Huangfu, I hope you can give me this opportunity,” Su Changfeng said.

Huangfu Heibai’s face was full of coldness; for a long time, no young person had the courage to challenge him, truly courting death.

Sima Chenguang had failed shamefully; Huangfu Heibai had no intention of letting it be so, and now Su Changfeng was courting death, how could he not oblige?

“My student was careless and was beaten by you.

Do you really think you are invincible?

Fine, now I’ll let you, this arrogant fellow, know what it means to have others beyond and greater peaks beyond,” Huangfu Heibai said.

Each member of the association looked contemptuously at Su Changfeng, all believing that Su Changfeng was courting death.

Now having offended Huangfu Heibai, given Huangfu Heibai’s influence in the realm of Chinese Go, Su Changfeng should not expect to achieve anything great in the future.

In today’s world, mere effort does not guarantee reward, nor does outstanding ability guarantee success.

Behind every success lies bizarre and multifarious factors.

Take Sima Chenguang for example, his level of Go among the younger generation is indeed quite high, but throughout all of China, there definitely are those with higher skill levels, yet their reputation cannot compare to Sima Chenguang’s simply because those people are not students of Huangfu Heibai.

Background and connections are applicable in every field; no one can change it.

However, those people do not realize that in Su Changfeng’s eyes, Go is merely a hobby; he has no intention of achieving anything notable in the field of Go, nor does he plan to pave his path to success through Go.

Su Changfeng made the first move with the black pieces.

Huangfu Heibai was indeed a master of his generation, his move speed was exceptionally fast, yet every step was incredibly exquisite.

Midway through the game, the board leaned in favor of Huangfu Heibai.

Now the outcome seemed decided; those observing looked at Su Changfeng with strong disdain, calling him a fool for challenging Huangfu Heibai—wasn’t this courting death?

“How much longer can you struggle?” Huangfu Heibai asked.

Su Changfeng remained calm and did not respond.

Although the situations in Go can change extensively, everyone has their own playing habits.

Su Changfeng had memorized nearly all of Huangfu Heibai’s famous games; now he thought of those games, intending to anticipate Huangfu Heibai’s next move by finding some clues, so even if he was to lose, at least he wouldn’t lose too ugly.
