Chapter 368 - The Four Sacred Arts of Confucianism the Nameless Chess Saint

After seeing Jia Renjie off, Jiang Hao's System Panel was quickly graced with two new skills!

Calligraphy Level 1 (0/1): A skill of elegance, where mastery means each word embodies a world, each stroke encompasses the universe!

Chess Level 1 (0/1): A skill of elegance, where mastery allows one to use the multitude as chess pieces, playing a game with the very heavens!

The descriptions of these skills were undeniably potent!

Jiang Hao took them seriously and promptly upgraded both skills to Level 4.

Having fully mastered the quartet of skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Jiang Hao exuded an air of scholarly grace without even realizing it.

He truly became the epitome of a cultured and genteel gentleman, as fragrant and precious as jade.

Yet, while upgrading these four skills simultaneously wasn't overly burdensome for him at present, he knew that as he progressed, it would become increasingly challenging.

Sensing an interconnection among the four skills, Jiang Hao's thoughts stirred, and he decided to attempt their fusion.

With a hint of nervousness, he spoke up.

“System, use skill points to fuse the skills of the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting!”

“Affirmative, host!”

“Ding... 400 skill points consumed. Congratulations on the successful synthesis of skills. You have acquired the Confucian Four Saints Technique!”

He would have to wait until tomorrow.

But for chess, there seemed to be online software available!

With that thought, Jiang Hao quickly pulled out his phone and downloaded a Go app!

That night, numerous Go enthusiasts were brought to tears by an anonymous player!

Some speculated he was a professional, there to stir up the waters.

Others claimed he was a chess prodigy, a living Chess Saint!

Yet, the professionals dismissed these claims, attributing the anonymous player's success to the inferior skills of his opponents.

It was the hyperbole of the masses that gave rise to the legend of this unnamed Chess Saint.

And so, the matter was soon forgotten.

Jiang Hao cycled through several Go apps, but none could offer him a hint of challenge.

Disappointed, he ceased his search.

Yet, he didn't let this go to his head, refraining from any boastful claims of invincibility.

Still, he knew that with his current level of play, there were few in the world who could match him at chess.

The night passed without further incident.
