Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 305 - Toughest Match Ever

Yang Wei was sweating profusely as he had to take up a long time to ponder his next move.

'Crap… this Zhu Wenqian really knows how to act dumb.' Yang Wei cursed in his heart silently.

Every move Zhu Wenqian made was like a sword piercing through his heart.

It was extremely difficult to block her attack and her defense was even more impeccable.

"Come on Yang Wei, you're taking so long every time it's your turn to go." Zhu Wenqian complained as she urged him to make a move already.

"I'm thinking alright." Yang Wei replied as he wrinkled his brows.

.

'If I move my knight there then she can easily use her rook to take out my pawn…' Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly.

Yang Wei retrieved a handkerchief out as he wiped his sweat off.

Meanwhile, Zhu Wenqian held a smug expression at Yang Wei.

"Yang Wei, aren't you always so intelligent? How come you play like a woman?" Zhu Wenqian teased.

"At this rate, 6 hours will go by and we'll still be in the first match." She added.

Yang Wei twitched his mouth.

"You don't have to act so arrogantly, Zhu Wenqian." Yang Wei said as he decided to move his rook instead of his knight piece.

"Hahaha, I knew you would move that piece!" Zhu Wenqian suddenly laughed aloud as she moved one of her knight pieces.

Yang Wei instantly turned pale when he realized he had no playable move left to do.

In other words, he was checkmate by Zhu Wenqian who had just learned about the game rules today.

"H-How did I miss that?" Yang Wei stuttered in disbelief.

He couldn't believe how he would have missed this part of the information where he would be checkmate.

As a veteran chess player, Yang Wei found it difficult to lose to an amateur player.

Meanwhile, Zhu Wenqian began laughing as she crawled toward Yang Wei and poked at his chin with her finger.

"Aiyah Yang Wei, you are way too predictable in your moves." Zhu Wenqian teased as she touched the knight piece on Yang Wei's side.

"It was so easy to understand your logic so I purposely created a huge storm around your right side while secretly hiding the real attack on the left side of the chessboard." She added.

Yang Wei wrinkled his brows as he heaved a defeated sigh. He had been thoroughly defeated by Zhu Wenqian.

"I have underestimated your capability…" Yang Wei mumbled softly.

Zhu Wenqian curled her lips upward as she loved it when Yang Wei suffered defeat.

"Your expression is so cute right now- much better than your solemn and formal speech." Zhu Wenqian said as she returned back to her seat.

Since they have decided on a best out of 3 matches, then she would still need to win one more chess match to beat Yang Wei.

Sometime later, Yang Wei finished setting up the chessboard once again for another match.

This time though, Yang Wei had a profound look on his face, almost like he was detached from everything else except for the chessboard in front of him.

"Why so serious, Yang Wei?" Zhu Wenqian raised an eyebrow and asked.

And she continued, "We are just doing a friendly chess game and nothing else."

Yang Wei ignored her words as he made his first move.

Zhu Wenqian realized he was extremely serious about this and laughed inwardly.

'Aiyah, so Yang Wei can't handle a defeat huh…' Zhu Wenqian grinned wickedly as she copied Yang Wei's move and moved her pawn to face his pawn.

It didn't even take a second before Yang Wei started moving his bishop.

Bishop is the chess piece that could only move diagonally, and not many would use it at the beginning of the game.

Yang Wei was determined to use a new strategy- one that would checkmate her within 5 turns.

Thus, he was focused on the chessboard and ignored Zhu Wenqian's every word.

This was his toughest match ever so he was unwilling to be distracted at all.

Meanwhile, Zhu Wenqian shrugged her shoulders as she continued to play in a casual manner.

Unlike Yang Wei, she doesn't really care about the chess game and is just playing to waste time.

Sometime later, Zhu Wenqian moved her rook to take away one of Yang Wei's rook pieces.

"Are you even trying at this rate?" Zhu Wenqian asked.

"You have sacrificed so many chess pieces for no reason." She added.

Yang Wei grinned evilly as he shook his head.

"Heh, of course, I'm trying my very best." Yang Wei said as he lifted his queen up.

Afterward, he moved the chess piece and placed it down on the chessboard with a profound aura.

"Checkmate, Zhu Wenqian!" Yang Wei said in joy.

Zhu Wenqian made a fake gasp as she shouted half-heartedly, "Oh my heavens, there's no way that could have happened."

Her reaction shocked Yang Wei as he wondered what's wrong with her.

"Huh? I checkmate you and you're still acting like that?" Yang Wei raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Zhu Wenqian stopped her sarcastic remark and glanced at Yang Wei in amusement.

"Did you really think I couldn't tell what strategy you were trying to do?" Zhu Wenqian laughed as she reset the chessboard.

"I was feeling bad to see you trying so hard to win when you have no chance at all. So I decided to be nice and let you win this one."

Zhu Wenqian then saw the darkened expression of Yang Wei when he realized he was being played like a fool.

His so-called new strategy was instantly detected by Zhu Wenqian the moment she saw him move his chess piece.

However, instead of exposing him, Zhu Wenqian decided to play along and let Yang Wei enjoy one fake victory from her.

Yang Wei wrinkled his brows as he clenched his fist tightly.

"Don't bully me just because you are more intelligent in chess, Zhu Wenqian. I don't need a freebie to win against you."
