"Moonlight Seishi, Chairman Moonlight, is also the chairman of your shogi world and shogi alliance. He is a 9-dan shogi player, an A-rank shogi player, and a five-term 'Meijin' title holder. He is a living legend who truly stands at the top of the shogi world, succeeding the 'Eternal Meijin' title!"
Yaksha Shinko Ten used every single compliment he knew in his life.
There was no attempt to hide the praise for the Moonlight Saint.
Moonlight Saint World sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Yaksha God, if you keep praising me like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the excitement and agitation. One shudder and my heart will stop beating."
"Ah~! President Moonlight! Shut up! That's so mean, you can't joke like that!"
A girl dressed in the same black office lady uniform as Akira Ikeda, looking like a secretary or a bodyguard, hurriedly came over to help Seiseki Tsukiko up, complaining.
"It's alright," Moonlight Saint said nonchalantly.
Yasha-gami Hiroten chuckled and teased, "Oga, even if you grab your president's arm, you still can't shut him up."
"Hate!"
Ms. Oga, who was being teased, stomped her foot, but showed no intention of letting go. She kept her eyes fixed on Seisei Gekko, not allowing him to make any more jokes about her heart.
Luo Chen also wanted to laugh, thinking that these "big shots" seemed quite interesting. He didn't expect that the jokes between the old people could be so funny.
Of course, the term "old man" is no joke.
Yaksha Shinto is at least 70 years old now, and Moonlight Saint World is no less, at least 50+.
"Young friend Luo Chen, you are very good."
At some point, Moonlight Seishi, supported by Miss Oga, arrived in front of Luo Chen, smiled, and said, "Defeating that kid, Kamiya, is unbelievable. I thought the glory of shogi in this era would only be limited to Bayi and his team, but now it seems that one more should be added."
Luo Chen replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you for the compliment, President."
"It's nothing. Actually, sometimes I really wish you younger generations were born a few years earlier, so that I could be kicked off that so-called pedestal sooner," Moonlight Saint World teased.
Luo Chen's lips twitched, and he retorted jokingly, "President, does it have to be a kick? Can't you just push? I think that's more polite."
"No, no, no! That definitely won't work!"
Moonlight Saint waved his hands repeatedly, exaggerating, "If it's a kick, it will only hit the feet and legs, at most the buttocks. If it's a push, whether it's the chest or the back, it will affect the heart. I have a heart condition, and before I die, I want to admire the magnificent scenery from high to low. I don't want to be pushed to death by you guys. How tragic..."
"President!!!"
Ms. Oga is stomping her feet angrily again, protesting unhappily, "You can't make jokes like that anymore!"
"Hi~! Kawaii Oga."
Moonlight Saint chuckled softly, putting away his humor, and patted Luo Chen on the shoulder, saying, "Anyway, if there's anything you don't understand, just come to me. Before you kick me, there are still eight mountains waiting for you to climb over."
0 ··Requesting flowers····· ···
Luo Chen knew that the other party was referring to the other eight A-level players (not the eight A9s, because Shan Dao Fa Jin was nominally only an 8-dan, but was already an A-level player).
Suddenly, an idea struck Luo Chen, and he asked with interest, "They are mountains, so what is the chairman?"
"me."
Moonlight Saint smiled, his expression enigmatic, "Probably the sky."
"Tsk tsk, as expected of you, Moonlight. You keep saying you don't want others to praise you to death, but in reality, you're the one who praises yourself the most!"
Yaksha Shinko smacked his lips in disdain.
Moonlight Saint ignored the old man's teasing and continued speaking to Luo Chen, "It seems you have something else you want to ask, why don't you ask it all at once?"
Luo Chen asked in surprise, "President, you can see?"
..... .. ...
"Pfft! Cough cough." Moonlight Saint suddenly coughed violently.
"President~!" Ms. Oga was extremely worried.
"It's alright, I was just covering up my embarrassment." Moonlight Saint raised one hand to indicate that he was fine.
"Haha!" Yaksha Shinko Hiroten laughed heartily, feeling extremely pleased to see his old friend make such a fool of himself.
Luo Chen smiled and stopped talking nonsense. He asked a serious question: "In the president's opinion, which of the other eight mountains is stronger or weaker?"
"Huh? This one?"
Moonlight Saint nodded, indicating his agreement with the question, then shook his head with an even more serious expression than Luo Chen, replying, "I don't know."
Luo Chen: "???"
"Hahaha!"
Yaksha Shinko Hiroten couldn't help but burst into laughter again, mocking in a lewd manner: "Old fox!"
Moonlight Saint Shi covered his forehead and explained, "I'm not trying to keep you in suspense, but anyone who reaches the ninth-level A-rank has their own strengths and weaknesses. No matter who plays against whom, there is always a chance of winning or losing. If we were to forcibly determine who is superior, even a god couldn't do it."
Luo Chen stroked his chin and nodded gently. In fact, he had guessed this before, but now that Moonlight Saint had said it, he was completely certain.
Among the nine A-rank chess players, apart from Moonlight Saint, there is indeed no real distinction between who is superior and who is inferior.
Okay, he's finished asking his questions.
Luo Chen tilted his head and looked at Yaksha God Hongtian, saying, "Senior Yaksha God, you've always wanted me to visit the Yaksha God family. Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Of course!"
Yaksha Shinkoten straightened his expression, but he didn't express his opinion on the matter himself. He gently nudged his old friend's shoulder.
Moonlight Saint nodded slowly, and said solemnly, "Please let me speak."
Chapter 161 Experiencing the "Sky"!
"what?"
"Make Tianyi my apprentice?"
When he uttered this exclamation, Luo Chen was already sitting in the room, and there were only Luo Chen, Yaksha Shen Hongtian, and Moonlight Saint in the room.
Yaksha God Hongtian lowered his head awkwardly, leaving his old friend to handle everything on his own.
Since Moonlight Saint had accepted this task, he would naturally help to the end, and said sincerely, "It is like this, I hope that young friend Luo Chen can give it a good consideration."
“But I already have love.” Luo Chen frowned, and before Moonlight Saint World could reply, he quickly added, “Besides, President Moonlight, Senior Yaksha God, even if I don’t accept Tianyi as my disciple, isn’t it the same if Tianyi is in the JS Research Institute?”
"They're completely different, by a huge margin. The growth rate of a Shogi player who truly has a master is entirely different from that of a Shogi player without a master," Moonlight Saint World said with a wry smile.
"Even so, with the abilities of Senior Yaksha and Guild Master Yueguan, finding a 9A-level shogi player who is even stronger than me is a piece of cake, isn't it?" Luo Chen said.
"It's still different."
Moonlight Saint still shook his head and said apologetically, "Indeed, what young friend Luo Chen said is a feasible path, but for Tianyi, that group of elderly chess star people really don't suit her taste."
"Sigh~ Our Tianyi has a rather eccentric temperament. You should know a little about that, young friend Luo Chen, after spending some time in the JS Research Institute." Yaksha Shen Hongtian nodded apologetically in agreement.
eccentric?
Luo Chen touched the tip of his nose.
That's not quite it. At most, she's just a bit arrogant and has a strong sense of self-esteem.
The female protagonists in crossover anime are often like this. Although Tianyi is not the female protagonist, if she grows up in the future, who else could she be?
"exactly."
Moonlight Saint nodded and said, "Therefore, if you want to find a disciple for Tianyi, you can only find a younger boy. Such a boy can understand her better and get along with her better."
However, Tianyi always admired the strong and looked down on the weak. She even once said that no one who was not the strongest in the shogi world deserved to be called her master.
So, at first, Yasha and I focused our attention on two people: Shen Guo and Jiu Tou Long. But the former seemed a bit too strange, and Yasha was worried that Tianyi would be corrupted by him. As for the latter…
Forgive my bluntness, but she is ultimately too gentle, or to put it bluntly, too weak. Yaksha God does not want Ten'i to grow up to be like that, since Ten'i is very likely to inherit the Yaksha God family in the future.
Fortunately, at this moment, young friend Luo Chen, you appeared. The Yaksha God and I quickly identified you as the perfect target!
Yaksha God Hongtian glanced at Moonlight Saint World with gratitude, though a hint of pride also lingered in his heart.
The only person who could command such respect from the president of the Shogi Federation and elicit such pleas for mercy from him was probably Yasha Shin Hiroten!
Who cares about the rest! Whether it's Shinomiya Kagami or the cabinet ministers, even if the prime minister comes, it won't make a difference!
Luo Chen clenched his fist, rested his chin on his hand, and frowned in deep thought.
Moonlight Saint immediately gave Yaksha God Hongtian a slight gesture of raising his chin.
Yaksha God Hongtian understood and quickly said, "By the way, young friend Luo Chen, there is one more thing I want to tell you secretly while Tianyi is not here."
"Please speak," Luo Chen said.
Yasha Shinko said in a low voice, "I heard from Ikeda that when Ten'i was taking a shower alone in the bathroom, he mentioned that he also wanted to become your apprentice..."
“Senior Yaksha Goddess,” Luo Chen interrupted with amusement, “knowing Tianyi as I do, she would never say such a thing.”
"I really said it!"
Yaksha Shinto emphasized.
However, upon meeting Luo Chen's even more resolute and unwavering gaze, Bengbu touched the tip of his nose, stopped, and awkwardly admitted...
"Fine, the original words were: Baka Luochen, Baka Baka, what's so good about Hina Tsuru? I'm no worse than her! I could also become your disciple, but why do you never give me a second glance? Baka Baka Baka~!"
Luo Chen: "..."
Sure, this speaking style suits my slightly arrogant personality perfectly!
