The Thirty-Two Line-Pair World Go Puzzle.
This Go puzzle was extremely complicated. Back at the Ten Thousand Sages Convention, Gu Hai’s Go skills had reached the level of the Thirty-Two Line-Pair World Go Puzzle—but that was just barely. Unlike other forms of cultivation, the Go Dao required opponents. Since a person’s potential was limitless, the Go Dao required strong opponents to temper one’s Go skills.
Gu Hai had chosen Old Mister Guan Qi as his opponent.
Furthermore, Old Mister Guan Qi’s Go puzzles progressed sequentially from the Twenty-Eight to the Twenty-Nine, the Thirty, the Thirty-One, and the Thirty-Two. This allowed Gu Hai to face opponents of varying Go skills.
Now that he had the Thirty-Two Line-Pair World Go Puzzle itself, his Go skills could improve further.
The complete Thirty-Two was indeed profound and vast. Gu Hai studied the Go puzzle, simulating the match, and immediately became immersed in it.
The four hundred Go soul clones in Gu Hai’s forehead space studied the Go puzzle, slowly making some progress. Suddenly, four of the Go boards they sat on merged.
Clack!
Those four Go boards merged into a large Go board. The four Go soul clones sitting on them likewise merged into one. That Go board immediately became denser.
Clack! Clack! Clack!
Boom!
Other Go boards started merging in sets of four at an increasingly faster pace. In just seven days, all the Go boards had merged into one hundred large Go boards. The Go soul clones had merged as well, leaving only one hundred.
Another five days passed with Gu Hai staring at the Go puzzle.
Gu Hai suddenly looked at a spot on the thirty-two line-pair Go board. “This position should not be like that?”
Buzz!
Gu Hai trembled, suddenly coming to his senses.
“Old Mister Guan Qi made a mistake? No, no, he is not wrong, but my change is not wrong, either. His move follows his style; my move follows mine. Previously, I did learn from his Go puzzles, but I did not lose my style. I have my own path. The Thirty-Two? This can only be used as a reference. He is only my opponent, not someone to imitate!” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.
Clack!
The instant Gu Hai figured it out, one of the large Go boards in his forehead space suddenly shrank, eliminating some unnecessary parts and slowly forming a Go board with nineteen line pairs.
Although the Go board was smaller, it became even more complicated.
Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!
One after another, the one hundred Go boards shrank quickly as Gu Hai gained enlightenment. The one hundred large Go boards became one hundred small Go boards in just five days.
The one hundred Go soul clones also exuded hazy, white energy.
Gu Hai’s Go skills had improved again as he digested the Thirty-Two Line-Pair World Go Puzzle. Although his Go Dao deviated from Old Mister Guan Qi’s, his skills had indeed firmly reached the level of the Thirty-Two.
“The Seventh Cycle? Haha! The Cycle Saber Technique can continuously improve. Unfortunately, my…
