Chapter 256

Samuel's words caused an uproar among the crowd. Even Wang Mao's face was deathly pale.

Defeating Ouyang Xiujie meant that he should know when to stop. If he said this now, wasn't he

provoking Shangguan Heibai?

"Young man, how can you say such disrespectful words? Can anyone be a rival of Senior

Shangguan?"

"It was a fluke that you won against Senior Shangguan's disciple. How dare you be so arrogant?"

"Young man, behave yourself, or you'll lose face as well."

All the members of the association looked at Samuel indignantly, dissatisfied with his disrespect.

Wang Mao knew that Samuel was courting death if he played with Shangguan Heibai. He quickly said,"

Quick, apologize."

Samuel looked at Shangguan Heibai with his torchlike eyes. In the words of Tian Changsheng, this was

indeed a rare opportunity. If he missed it, he would never meet it again in his life. Even if he lost, so

what? If he didn't challenge himself, how could he know the limit of strength?

Tian Changsheng was different from the others, his face full of admiration as he looked at Samuel.

Youngster, if he didn't even have this bit of boldness,

then what kind of youngster was he called? Only when you understood the difficulty would you be

called a youngster.

Shangguan Heibai was indeed famous, but he dared not challenge him just because of his fame.

Wasn't that a coward?

"Senior Shangguan, I hope you can give me this opportunity," Samuel said.

Shangguan Heibai had a cold look on his face. For so many years, no young man had dared to

challenge him. He was really courting death.

Ouyang Xiujie had lost face. Shangguan Heibai did not intend to leave the matter at that. Now Samuel

was courting death, there was no way he would let him off the hook.

"My disciple accidentally lost to you, so you really think of yourself as an expert. Alright, I'll teach this

arrogant young man a lesson," Shangguan Heibai said.

Everyone in the association looked at Samuel with disdain. They did not think high of his looking for

death at all.

Now that he had offended Shangguan Heibai, with his influence in China, it would be difficult for him to

make a name for himself in the future.

In this society, hard work doesn't mean one will be rewarded, and not everyone will stand out because

of one's strength. Every achievement had its own uses.

Take Ouyang Xiujie for example. His strength was indeed outstanding among the young, but in the

whole country, not no one could compare with him. Why were those people less famous than Ouyang

Xiujie? Because their master was not Shangguan Heibai.

The back door was applicable to various fields, and no one could change it.

However, they did not know that Samuel's interest in G o was just his hobby. He had never thought of

making a name for himself in chess. He did not even think of using Go to make a name for himself.

Samuel remained playing the black and took the lead i n placing his piece.

Shangguan Heibai was worthy of his title as a master. His moves were swift and each of them was

exquisite. Once a chess piece was placed in the middle of the board, Shangguan Heibai and had

already gained the upper hand.

The winner and loser seemed to have been split.

Those members of the association looked at Samuel with even more contempt. "He was a fool, who

doesn't know what's good for him. How can he only regret it when his head is broken and his blood is

bleeding? Challenging Shangguan Heibai? Isn't he doomed to lose face?"

"How much longer will you be able to struggle?"

Shangguan Heibai said coolly.

Samuel's face was sullen and he did not speak.

Although the chess path was full of changes, every expert had their own habits. Samuel could almost

remember all of Shangguan Heibai's famous pieces of chess. At this moment, he was trying to recall

and guess Shangguan Heibai's future from those pieces of chess. Once there was a clue, Samuel

would lose as well, but at least he would not lose too badly.

Samuel's speed of placing the chess piece became slower and slower. In the eyes of others, he was

indeed just putting up a last-ditch struggle to buy time.

"You're doomed to lose. Surrender, please. Don't waste your time."

"Shangguan's time is precious. You really don't know what's good for you." "President, your apprentice

has a bad moral standing."
