Dragon Beard Root

Inside the sixth formation, the shade reduced the dim sunlight into fragments, which landed on the chessboard.

Mists spread inside the formation and made it look dreamy. Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows. After losing tens of turns as soon as the third round started, he had been in a disadvantageous spot. The young fellow dared not fight for the center spot on the board nor did he have the guts to form a dragon on the board. He pondered for a long time about every move.

He knew he could not defeat Xu Junqing anymore in this chess game.

All of a sudden, he recalled what the red-clothed lady said about how this formation would not be about a formation but would examine one's heart.

"Examine one's heart… If that's the case, why are we playing chess?" The voice echoed in his head and eventually became the only sound in his head.
