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 yed 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 identally 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 couldpare 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 ying the ck and took the lead i n cing 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 ced 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 cing the chess piece became slower and slower. In the eyes of others, he was


    indeed just putting up ast-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."
