After all of us are reborn, who plays Go?

Chapter 6 6. Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a famous teacher! If you don't mind, I am willing to be your teacher!"

Looking at Zhan Lang, who was arrogant at first and respectful later, Wang Yaozu didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wang Yaozu had lived through three dynasties and had seen many shameless people, but this was the first time he had seen someone so shameless at such a young age.

This kid can make things happen.

To be honest, Wang Yaozu still has some appreciation for Zhan Lang's talent.

After all, the talent that Zhan Lang showed in the past two days was indeed amazing.

But the problem is that Zhan Lang is too old. The chess players Wang Yaozu knows started learning at the age of nine at the latest.

Zhan Lang is already fourteen years old this year. At this age, others would have achieved great results, but he is basically a blank slate.

Another thing is that Zhan Lang obviously has no intention of studying Go. He doesn't want to learn, and Wang Yaozu can't force him.

After all, he only started learning at the age of fourteen. No matter how talented Zhan Lang is, Wang Yaozu feels that Zhan Lang's highest achievement in his life will only be his level.

My level now is not worth mentioning.

It doesn't help, it's not of much use.

Maybe it would be more useful for people to honestly take the college entrance examination and get a job, so don't mislead young people.

Of course, if Zhan Lang in front of him was only four years old, Wang Yaozu would even go with a fruit basket to beg him to be his teacher.

But unfortunately, he was fourteen years old.

But since they have been delivered to my doorstep, I will let one sheep go or drive two sheep away.

"Okay, I'll teach you, but don't tell anyone that you're my apprentice."

Wang Yaozu felt that Zhan Lang was probably just in a momentary mood and might not be able to learn for a few days. He hoped that by the time he learned only a quasi-learning skill, it would be embarrassing enough for him to have a grandson.

"Okay, thank you, master."

Zhan Lang seemed to have not heard what was said next and just climbed up the pole.

As a man who was almost thirty years old, Zhan Lang knew very well that the most valuable quality of a person in this society was shamelessness.

Wang Yaozu seemed not to hear what was said, but Wang Xiaoer beside him immediately put his arm around Zhan Lang's shoulders and grinned, "In that case, Brother Lang and I are brothers in the same sect."

Hearing this, Zhan Lang said with a serious face: "No, theoretically I am the old man's disciple, and you are his grandson, so you have to call me uncle.

How about this, we will talk about our own things from now on, I will call you brother and you will call me uncle."

Looking at Zhan Lang who looked serious, Wang Xiaoer was confused: "Ah? My generation status has been lowered?"

I found myself an uncle?

Looking at his grandson who wasn't very smart, Wang Yaozu couldn't help but shook his head. How did this guy get into high school?
"Okay, let me teach you the basics of Go first."

"Master, I would like to ask a few questions before we begin!"

Looking at Wang Yaozu taking out the chessboard, Zhan Lang immediately raised his hand like a primary school student.

I finally found an expert, and I have several questions that need urgent answers.

"You said."

"Who is the most powerful Go player in the world right now?"

Hearing this, Wang Yaozu's face darkened, and the hand holding the chessboard seemed to tremble slightly, but it recovered very quickly and could not be noticed at all if you didn't pay attention.

After sighing lightly, Wang Yaozu began to speak: "Although I don't want to admit it, the world's top masters are basically concentrated in Japan.

Apart from that, no other country has top players." "And coincidentally, this year, the seven titles representing the highest level of Go skills in Japan are held by seven people.

The chess sage Ihideaki Isumi, the ten-dan bamboo Katsuya, the celebrity Lin Xiaofeng, Honinbo Zhao Chikun, Tianyuan Taaya Masao, Throne Takemiya Shohei, and the sage Sanye Kenichi. "

"Fujii Hideaki is older. Although he still has a title, his strength is no longer as good as that of the youngsters. It is more of a symbolic role."

"The other players have won and lost against each other. Although there are occasional restraints in their playing styles, most of the time they are on par with each other. It's hard to say who is definitely better than whom."

"In addition to these people, there are a large number of strong 9th dan players in Japan who are still strong and in their prime, such as Shoda. Some of them are not necessarily inferior to the top players."

"As for who is the best in the world, up to now, there has not been anyone with such dominance."

Top chess players are all proud. If they want to be the best in the world, they have to basically defeat everyone and have at least a small, or even a large, advantage over almost anyone.

“What about China?”

"The most famous one is Chen Long, the current leader. The one who has the potential to replace him is Fang Yuan. In the past two years, they have won and lost against each other, but Fang Yuan has the upper hand.

Two years ago, Fang Yuan defeated a 9th dan in Japan and was hailed as a rising star. "

Wang Yaozu couldn't help but sigh when he said this. Although the new generation of Chinese chess players are trying hard to catch up, the situation is much better than it was 20 years ago when he had difficulty winning against ordinary Japanese professionals.

But the gap remains huge.

Although China's top players have defeated some Japanese 9th-dan players, their best results were only defeating mid- and lower-level 9th-dan players.

There is still a long way to go before becoming a top-notch chess player, not to mention that there are many top-notch chess players in Japan.

The gap between Chinese and Japanese Go is as huge as heaven and earth.

"Are these two also Chinese professional 9th ​​dan?"

"No, there is no such thing as professional Go in China."

Wang Yaozu couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this. In China, Go has not formed a systematic professional system like in Japan. At most, there are only provincial teams, national teams and sports teams.

To some extent, the lack of a systematic system is one of the gaps between China and Japan at this stage.

Zhan Lang finally asked the most crucial question at this time: "Can we improve to the level of these top-notch chess players who give up four pieces within a year?"

What is certain is that there is definitely a big gap between the top chess players of this era and the top chess players of later generations.

If even the top four players of this era can't pass, then the novice mission of the system will be impossible to complete.

"One year? How simple do you think Go is? With your talent, if you study with me completely without any work, you can reach this level in two or three years?"

Wang Yaozu looked at Zhan Lang as if he were a fool. Letting his four sons defeat a top-notch master would be considered a top amateur in Japan, almost at the professional level.

If you can reach this level in one year, I will immediately worship you and take you as my teacher!

This is no longer a genius, this is a monster!
"Very difficult?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Wang Yaozu made a conclusion without even thinking: there are geniuses in this world, but there are definitely no monsters.

Hearing this, Zhan Lang stopped arguing with his teacher and lowered his expectations a bit: "What if we win the championship of this youth competition?"

Hearing this, Wang Yaozu looked Zhan Lang up and down, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"It's possible, but it requires some special methods."
