For some reason, there was a brief silence in the live stream.
Then, the volcano erupted.
Because they would recognize the chess player who was playing against Chen Anxia.
That player is the holder of the 10-dan title... 10-dan Toneri!

"Oh my god, am I dreaming? It's actually Judan Toneri?"
"Although I had long anticipated this day would come, I still found it hard to accept when it actually arrived."
"Now, even a top-tier Go player like Ten-Dan Toneri is personally challenging Chen Anxia?"
"Now that Shidan Toneri has entered the arena, Chen Anxia's undefeated myth should finally come to an end this time."
"It's hard to say, after all, Chen Anxia hasn't lost a single game so far."
"Yesterday, Chen Anxia was pushed to the brink of defeat by Maejima 9-dan in their game."
"Although Chen Anxia ultimately won by a narrow margin of half a point thanks to his unorthodox chess principles, the skill he displayed in that game was roughly equivalent to that of a former 9-dan player, placing him at the level of a first-rate player."
"Therefore, unless Chen Anxia continues to hold back his strength in his game against Maejima 9-dan, the winner of this game will definitely be 10-dan Toneri!"
"Yes, although both first-class and super first-class belong to the professional ninth dan, the gap between the two is like a chasm that is difficult to cross."
......
In Uemura Tairyu's live stream, a scene resembling a volcanic eruption was unfolding, with players sending out a barrage of comments to express their shock and awe.
Meanwhile, in the world of Go players, the appearance of 10-dan player Toneri has stirred up an unimaginable and terrifying storm.
Almost all the players who heard the news flocked to Yasutaka Uemura's live stream, not wanting to miss this potentially spectacular match.
Among them, Sheren Zhun watched through the live broadcast room as his father solemnly played chess with Chen Anxia, and his feelings were very complicated.
Just a week ago, I was sitting in that seat. Who would have thought that just a week later, my father would be sitting in that seat?
The impact this had on Shiren Jun was unimaginable to outsiders.
Amidst this unimaginable shock, what troubled Toru most was his uncertainty about whether his father would win.
Indeed, in Sheren Zhun's heart, although he was willing to believe in his father and wanted to be convinced that his father could defeat Chen Anxia.
However, the image that Chen Anxia left in Sheren Zhun's mind was too unfathomable.
This made it impossible for Sheren Zhun to determine whether Chen Anxia had used his full strength previously.
The game of chess began under these circumstances.
Based on the result of the coin toss, this game will be played by Shidan Shiren, who will play black and move first.
In this game, Shidan Toshihiro held nothing back, using all his strength from the very beginning, which meant employing his opening strategy known as "the best in the world for the first fifty moves".
Chen Anxia, who was playing against Judan Sheren, already had a premonition that Judan Sheren's skill level was not simple.
However, Chen Anxia never expected that the Go skills of the 10-dan player would be so extraordinary.
Even the posture and movement of placing a piece on the board exerted an unimaginable sense of pressure on Chen Anxia.
This sense of pressure, and the need to surpass any player Chen Anxia had ever encountered before, including Maejima 9-dan, who played against him yesterday.
Chen Anxia knew that the Tenth-Rank Sheren who could bring him such a strong sense of pressure was probably the strongest player he had ever encountered.
Not daring to be careless in the slightest, Chen Anxia also used all his strength from the very beginning, unleashing his second major fusion chess principle.
During his game against Yu Zhengyan, Chen Anxia developed a fusion chess theory that integrates the principles of cosmic chess and the six harmonies of chess.
After that, Chen Anxia further incorporated the chess principles from the 10-dan player, namely the overall strategic view of the first 50 moves, into this integrated chess principle, taking it to a higher level.
Here, we will temporarily call this integrated chess principle No. 1.
In addition to this No. 1 Fusion Chess Theory, Chen Anxia also developed No. 2 Fusion Chess Theory.
This second fusion of chess principles actually took shape as early as when playing against Akira Toya, which is a fusion of Tengen Dosai's chess principles and Dosaku style.
Later, during his matches against professional high-ranking players, Chen Anxia not only further refined the second integrated chess theory, but also incorporated the chess theory of 2-dan player Sheren into it.
At this moment, Chen Anxia was employing the No. 2 fusion strategy, which is the unpredictable nature of the Dosaku style, the strategic vision of the first fifty moves of Judan Toshihito, and the stable endgame skills of Tengen Dosai.
Moreover, while applying the No. 2 Fusion Chess Theory, Chen Anxia's supercomputing ability was also operating at full speed, predicting the future of the game while continuously refining the No. 2 Fusion Chess Theory.
The game of chess continues.
Without a doubt, the brilliance of this game has exceeded the expectations of most players in the live stream.
At the beginning of the game, there were still a lot of bullet comments scrolling in the live broadcast room.
But by this point, only a few scattered comments were appearing in the live stream.
Furthermore, most of these scattered comments were sent by people who had just entered the live stream and were unaware of the situation.
Before we knew it, the game had entered the middle stage, a crucial juncture.
Because after that, once you get through the middle and late stages of the game, you'll reach the final stage.
Based on the skill Chen Anxia displayed in this game, everyone knows that Chen Anxia has definitely reached a level comparable to that of a top-tier player.
Therefore, everyone believed that Chen Anxia's endgame skills were definitely second to none in the world.
Judan Toneri himself knew this, and without the slightest hesitation, shortly after the game entered the middle stage, he activated all the hidden moves he had previously laid, intending to use them to win the game.
Chen Anxia also activated all the hidden plans and foreshadowing he had laid, leading to an unimaginable war with Shi Duan Sheren.
To the spectators, the game between Chen Anxia and the 10th Dan Sheren resembled a war between natural disasters.
The erupting volcano of black stones and the towering waves of white stones were constantly colliding, exuding a chilling, terrifying, and dreadful power.
This imposing presence caused the spectators to unconsciously hold their breath and concentrate, their eyes fixed on the board, not wanting to miss a single moment.
finally...
Looking at the game before him, the tenth-dan player had a complex expression, seemingly relieved yet also feeling dejected and unwilling.
Then, the Tenth Master looked at Chen Anxia and said, "I lost."
The moment Shidan Sheren announced the number of people, all the players in the live stream fell silent.
Then, a terrible earthquake struck the Go world, a world of players.
After Shi Dan Sheren conceded defeat, Chen Anxia's expression froze for a moment.
Chen Anxia was stunned not because of Shi Duan Sheren's surrender, but because after Shi Duan Sheren surrendered, a pop-up window that only he could see appeared in front of his eyes.
The pop-up window prominently displayed the message: "World Mission: Stand at the pinnacle of chess, overlooking all those who play chess!"
Current progress: 10 stages (50%)...
Seeing this, Chen Anxia couldn't help but murmur subconsciously, "What exactly is going on?"
.......
Chapter 201 Hidden Mode, The Finale Begins! (First Update, Please Subscribe!)
Although Shidan Sheren was the strongest player Chen Anxia had encountered, Chen Anxia never expected that simply defeating Shidan Sheren would complete 50% of the progress of one of the world missions: obtaining the Shidan title.
While Chen Anxia was still in shock and confusion, a system message suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Given that the host defeated the holder of the 10th rank title in the Realm of Truth, the hidden mode of the world mission has been triggered."
"In other words, the host can complete the world mission by defeating the title holders of the Reality World and the Hikaru no Go World, instead of having to participate in the title battle."
Through this system information, Chen Anxia learned that the world the player was in was called the Realm of Truth, and that the player challenging him was the holder of the tenth-level title in the player world.
Of course, Chen Anxia also understood why he had completed 50% of the task to obtain the 10th Dan title after defeating Shidan Sheren.
Moreover, Chen Anxia also gained a clear understanding of his current chess skills.
Although Chen Anxia could not know the exact strength of Shidan Sheren, since Shidan Sheren was able to hold the 10th dan title, his strength should at least reach the level of a top-tier player.
This means that Chen Anxia, who was able to defeat a 10-dan player, has also reached the top level of Go skill.
If this news gets out, it will definitely cause a major earthquake in the Go world.
It's worth noting that Chen Anxia has only been in the world of "Hikaru no Go" for about a month.
In just over a month, Chen Anxia went from a complete Go novice to a top-tier player at the top of the pyramid. How could this not be shocking and unbelievable?
After clearing his thoughts, Chen Anxia's eyes narrowed slightly.
Now, Chen Anxia has discovered a shortcut to quickly complete the world mission: defeat the title holders of both worlds.
Knowing this is one thing, but how to use this shortcut to complete the world mission is still highly uncertain.
Most importantly, Chen Anxia was unsure whether the other title holders in the Realm of Truth would challenge him, nor was he certain whether he could defeat them.
Therefore, these two points alone make this shortcut full of uncertainty.
However, these are not things that Chen Anxia needs to consider right now.
Because Chen Anxia's current focus is still on improving his chess skills.
For the vast majority of chess players, top-tier chess skills are already an unattainable pinnacle.
However, for Chen Anxia, top-notch chess skills were simply not enough to help him complete the world mission.
It's worth noting that Touya Meijin, hailed as the closest to a god-like move in the modern era, possessed top-tier Go skills.
This also means that if Chen Anxia wants to complete the world mission, he must improve his chess skills to the top level.
As for how to become a top player, it may be extremely difficult or even hopeless for other players, but for Chen Anxia, it is very simple.
There are two reasons for this.
Firstly, Chen Anxia is not lacking in top-notch chess theory.
Whether it's Tengen Dosai's Go theory, Go Seigen's Six Harmonies Go, or the Cosmic Go Theory and the Dosho School, they are all top-tier Go theories.
Not to mention Chen Anxia also has two major integrated chess principles.
Furthermore, Chen Anxia is also attempting to further integrate these two fundamental principles of chess, ultimately elevating them into his own unique chess theory.
