Chapter 33 Finalized

Zhu Dayong looked at Li Jie in disbelief. In a daze, he even wondered if he had heard wrongly.

That was the Samsung Cup, one of the top Go tournaments in the world. Although the organizers did not prohibit amateur players from signing up, this clause was just a gimmick to a certain extent.

The gap between amateur chess players and professional chess players is like a huge chasm. 99% of amateur chess players cannot beat professional chess players.

wrong!!

Suddenly, Zhu Dayong remembered that the young man in front of him was no ordinary young man.

There is no doubt that the opponent is already at the level of a professional chess player.

If it were him, there might be something to play for!

If everything goes well and the opponents he encounters are not strong, this kid may be able to pass the pre-selection and enter the main competition.

"Can."

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Dayong gave an affirmative answer, which would only affect his qualifications for the qualifying round.

Even if 'Duke' fails to make it to the main draw, it doesn't matter. After all, no one would blame a teenage boy.

Furthermore, if he really passes the pre-selection, he will not only benefit from it, but the Yijianghu Dojo will also gain fame.

"Thank you, teacher."

Li Jie bowed slightly. He was very happy to have achieved his goal on the first day he entered the dojo. This thank you was also quite sincere.

While talking, the two of them had passed through the last door and arrived at the Go teaching room.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Zhu Dayong clapped his hands, and the teenagers who were immersed in playing chess all turned their attention to the entrance.

"Dear students, let me introduce to you. This is Duke, our new student. Everyone welcomes him with a round of applause!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of sparse applause in the classroom.

The academic system of Yijianghu Dojo is similar to the student system of R Guoqi Academy. Students will be divided into several classes, and each class is divided into Group A and Group B.

However, the students in Group A/B are not fixed, but are determined based on weekly internal round-robin competitions. The top five in Group B will be promoted to Group A, and the bottom five in Group A will fall into Group B.

Generally speaking, newly admitted students start from Group B, and there is almost no precedent for being directly promoted to Group A.

Therefore, the students looked very surprised.

Zhu Dayong naturally noticed the confusion in the students' eyes, but he had no intention of explaining. After the introduction, he took Li Jie and left the classroom.

As soon as he left, the quiet classroom suddenly became noisy.

"Hong He, you entered school early. Have you met the man named Duke before? He should be a new student, right?"

"Probably, anyway, I have never seen him before, and I have never heard of Duke among the previous students."

"That's not right. Since he is new, why did he enter Group A directly? He should go to Group B."

"Oh, you ask me, who should I ask? How about you ask the great teacher?"

"Haha, you really know how to joke. That's the Lion King. I wouldn't dare."

"I don't dare. Then if you talk about a hammer, you won't be able to guarantee that someone is as good as me."

"Haha, just say so. Anyway, I think it's a bit unfair. Why?"

At this time, most of the exchanges in the classroom were similar to those of these two teenagers. Which one of them did not advance from Group B to Group A one game after another?

As a result, that kid immediately entered Group A as soon as he arrived, what a bully!

After leaving the classroom, Zhu Dayong naturally couldn't hear the students' complaints, but even if he heard them, he wouldn't care.

He had no intention of letting Li Jie enter Group A, and he practiced chess day and night like other students.

Because it is only a means of training ordinary students and is not suitable for 'geniuses'. With Li Jie's talent and chess ability, it is a complete waste to put him in a group for a round-robin competition.

Moreover, the disparity in strength between the two sides is so great that it cannot be used as training at all.

In addition, Zhu Dayong was also afraid that those students would be hit by "Duke".

Since yesterday afternoon, Zhu Dayong began to think about how to train Li Jie. After thinking about it all night, he finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

Each teacher in the dojo took turns playing chess with Li Jie, and the whole process was simulated based on professional competition standards.

This is the correct way to train!

After a while, Zhu Dayong took Li Jie to an office on the east side of the second floor. There was a door number for the general manager's office on the door. Zhu Dayong knocked gently.

"Please come in."

A slightly older voice came from inside the door.

Zhu Dayong pushed open the door and walked in with Li Jie. Li Jie looked around. This was a typical boss's office. Directly opposite the door was a mahogany office filled with folders and desks.

At the end is a bookshelf filled with books.

Of course, as the office of the owner of a Go dojo, a chess board is indispensable. There is a set of huanghuali sofas by the window, and a set of exquisite jade chess boards in the middle.

An old man wearing a Tang suit was sitting at the desk, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. The old man was about fifty or sixty years old, and his hair on his temples was already gray.

But the old man's face is very rosy, and he looks like a health expert. If you ignore the hair on his head, others will believe him even if he is in his forties.

"Dayong, is this the genius boy you mentioned?"

At this time, the old man had put down the documents in his hands, pushed up his glasses, and looked at the young man behind Zhu Dayong with great interest.

"Yes, teacher, this is Duke." Zhu Dayong said, pushing Li Jie: "Duke, this is the boss of our dojo, and also my teacher, Mr. He."

Li Jie had experienced many similar scenes, and he already knew how to "pretend" to deal with them. He took a step forward, smiled slightly, and said hello.

"Hello, Mr. He."

"How about you, kid."

Mr. He nodded with a smile, and then asked a few more questions, including how old he was, how long he had been learning chess, where he lived, and so on.

A few minutes later, Zhu Dayong saw the teacher finish asking the question and opened his mouth at the right time.

"By the way, teacher, I remember that our dojo still has one spot left in this year's Samsung Cup qualifiers, right?"

The old man took off his glasses, wiped them, nodded and said: "There is another one, why, do you want to participate in the qualifiers?"

"no."

Zhu Dayong smiled and waved his hand. Now he only thinks about cultivating a few more good talents for Chinese Go. He has no intention of participating in the world competition. He pointed at Li Jie beside him and said.

"This kid wants to go."

"he?"

Hearing this answer, Mr. He was obviously stunned, hesitated for a moment, and asked.

"you sure?"

Zhu Dayong said solemnly: "Well, with this kid's strength, he is fully qualified to participate in the qualifiers. If he performs well, it is not impossible to even enter the main draw."

Mr. He thought for a moment and nodded. He believed in his disciple's judgment. The reason why he confirmed whether Zhu Dayong was wrong before was mainly because he was afraid that the child would be hit when he participated in the main competition.

After all, the competition field is like a battlefield, and others will not let you off the hook at a young age. A child will eventually be a little reluctant to face those professional chess players who are full of firepower.

It would be a pity if this child was so shocked that his future career was affected.

"Since you said so, let's give the spot to this child. It just so happens that the list hasn't been submitted yet. I'll have someone add it later."
