[Previously]

[Actually, there's no team that would take me.]

There's still one more option.

As your brother,

I'm truly happy that you're signed onto a team.

From today onwards,

you're officially the member of Team Fangyuan.

When can I compete officially?

[Ever heard of the Rising Star Tournament?]

[Rising Star Speech-giving Ceremony]

[Professional 3-Dan, Yu Liang]

[It's been years. You've been trying to surpass each other.]

[Three Squirrels Cup China Go Rising Star Championship]

[You finally meet head to head.]

[Yu Liang, Shi Guang]

He's catching up.

Yu Liang has abandoned the tournament.

He and I are absolutely irreconcilable.

[Meijin Tournament fourth match ended due to Yu Xiao Yang's health problem]

Heart attack?

Don't tell me it's fate?

I have a friend who

would like to play Go with you.

Why can't he show his face?

[Many players compete online now.]

[Knowing the identity of the players]

doesn't really matter.

[Chu Ying has always been my teacher.]

I promise you,

if I lose to Chu Ying,

I'll retire.

I'm a man of my word.

[Hikaru no Go]

Xiao Guang.

Xiao Guang.

Xiao Guang, wake up!

Xiao Guang!

Wake up!

You're going to be late, Xiao Guang!

You won't make it to the tournament against Yu Xiao Yang.

Wake up now!

It's 4.30am.

You kidding me?

No.

It's almost the day of the tournament.

We haven't reviewed Yu Xiao Yang's Tengen Semifinals game record.

There's also Yingchun Cup, Kunlun Cup...

Xiao Guang,

can we play Go in the Mystery Go Room?

I'd really like to compete against Yu Xiao Yang in that room.

You crazy? There's neither computer nor internet in there.

Okay, then.

It's my first time seeing you this anxious.

You fought hard and got this chance for me.

I don't want to waste a single moment.

If playing Go could soothe your nerves,

then, I'll just sacrifice my sleep.

Jingyang Cup, watch out!

Yu Xiao Yang's on White.

[The 30th Round: The Divine Move]

[Wei Da. An online haven for Go enthusiasts]

Dad,

are you going to compete in the online Go tournament?

I heard,

there are many outstanding challengers online.

I'm just checking it out out of curiosity.

Let me register for you.

[Successfully registered]

[No.1 Champion, Chu Ying]

[Chu Ying, Dan：Champion, Record：272 matches 272 wins 0 defeat, Opponent：Akira]

You seem to be paying close attention to the player called Chu Ying.

I've been searching for him.

But, until now, I still don't know his identity.

The highest form of retreat is finding serenity amidst chaos.

This person might just

be living amongst us.

Well, well, well.

Master Yu,

isn't this a merry place?

-Hello, Mr Sang. -Hello.

Mr Sang Yuan,

what brought you here?

You're sick. Who wouldn't come to see you?

Then, I think that person would lose his position in the world of Go.

-Take a seat, Mr Sang. -Okay.

The user ID and the password are written separately.

I've also done the player verification for you.

Your ID will be displayed in the matches.

So, you'll be able to know who is who.

Off you go.

Such a sensible child.

I'll get back to practice.

Bye, Mr Sang.

Take care.

You don't

look too good.

Can you be discharged within the next few days?

The doctor said

to give it another week.

What about the next match?

You might as well

apply for a deferral.

No need.

I'm old.

You can't always compete in such condition, can you?

Did Fang Xu

not care for your health?

He is your student after all.

He should, given your relationship.

This won't do.

Even if

he applied for a deferral, I won't agree to it.

Okay.

Then, I'm just a nosy outsider.

But, I still need to remind you.

You disowned Fang Xu as your disciple.

It's only natural that

he bears grudges against you.

And,

how long have you been defending this title?

This time,

he's sinking his teeth into taking the title from you.

Just watch out.

Senior, must you compete in such a time,

forgetting about the master-disciple sentiment you once shared?

I know what you mean.

But these are the tournament rules.

Teacher is absolutely right for disowning you as his disciple.

You're an ingrate!

If anything happens to teacher during the match,

then, you will be blamed!

Don't think you'll frighten me with those words.

I have not thought of such horrible things!

Besides, none of you cared for teacher

like I did!

Then, apply for a deferral now!

Why are you out here? Shouldn't you be practising?

I was asked to get the bracket for the Rising Star Tournament by the institute.

I had to be out.

Then, get the bracket and return quickly.

-I created game records a whole day. -Careful!

You can't let anything happen to you!

I'm more likely to die of a heart attack being scared by you!

What's the worst thing that a bicycle can do to me?

Just be more careful.

Okay. Don't worry.

You'll understand this game after playing with me.

Ciao.

I'm just worried that you'll end up like Xiao Bai Long,

encountering mishap because of me.

Mr Yu.

Hello, Mrs Yu.

Dr Liang,

can you do me a favour?

Please refuse all my visitors tomorrow.

Mr Yu, you mean...

I'm competing in an important match tomorrow.

I do not wish to be distracted.

Mrs Yu,

are you just going to let him be?

I've gotten used to it.

I can do that.

But, to be safe,

I'll need to run a check.

Okay. Things are looking good.

But, don't tire yourself out with that match tomorrow.

Give it a few days and I'll get you discharged.

-Thank you very much. -Okay.

I'll continue with my rounds. Rest well.

Thank you, doctor.

It's best that you don't visit tomorrow.

Also, please tell Xiao Liang

to not visit me tomorrow.

Xiao Liang is having practice tomorrow.

There's no need to tell him. He won't come.

That's great.

What kind of major match is that?

Aren't you and Fang Xu still...

I know what to do.

Go home early and rest.

You need to rest. Don't keep at it till late night.

I know that.

You don't need to come visit me tomorrow.

I know. You better remember.

[Random match, Switch Opponent]

Xiao Guang.

Xiao Guang.

The red veins in your eyes are starting to show.

Yeah?

I'm fine.

I'll press my luck and

keep you company to the end.

We'll only end the match

when you're calm.

We'll only sleep

when you're no longer anxious. Okay?

Forget it.

-Let's not practice anymore. -What? No. I just downed my drink.

No matter how many game records we review,

no matter how many rounds we play, it'd be useless.

I don't know why,

the nearer we are to the match, the more anxious I become.

Since the first time we met, I knew

Yu Xiao Yang and I

are after the same thing.

It's to find the Divine Move.

In the last match,

I felt it.

We could interact.

I knew what he wanted to say.

Forget about it.

Forget about it.

We'll find out tomorrow,

how close we could get to that realm.

Chu Ying,

do you still remember what you taught me the last time?

-Sword-dance? -Do you remember? Yeah.

You taught me this when I was nervous,

and it's quite useful.

It's way better than

that nonsense "absorb the aura of heaven and earth" you taught me.

Nonsense?

You don't know

how much time I spend cracking my head

just to surprise you and I'm going bald. Look.

Cover that up with your hat.

See if this is correct.

Back again.

This is mad-dancing.

Then, show me once more. Quick.

Please get up, dear Master Chu.

-Watch carefully. -Okay.

One step out.

One step out.

It's a little confined in here.

It's alright.

Now, move your gaze with the sword.

Gaze.

You've turned too much. Whatever.

Xiao Guang,

why don't we play online Go at home with Hong He's computer?

Hong He is extremely smart,

and you want to use his computer?

He'd smell

any of your trace.

That's true.

We better leave the house early today.

The place is a little far from here.

I'm worried that we'll be late.

Is the cyber cafe you frequent far from here?

It's not the one that I frequent.

Didn't you wish to go to the Mystery Go Room?

We're going to the Mystery Go Room?

But, there's neither Internet nor computers

at Mystery Go Room.

Just come with me already.

[Misery Glow Cyber Cafe]

Misery Glow Cyber Cafe?

Read it faster.

Misery Glow...

Mystery...

Close, right?

I'm sorry. This is the best that I can do.

This is the closest that I could find.

Xiao Guang,

thank you.

I'm satisfied.

That's good to know.

Why are you crying?

You've been a cry baby lately.

You're always doing things that would make me a cry baby.

There, there.

You know,

money

is what we have.

There's enough time too.

You need to compete seriously against Yu Xiao Yang.

Give your best.

Fight for the opportunity to find the Divine Move.

Okay?

You can cry now.

No, I won't.

Why isn't he online yet?

Our Internet isn't yet connected.

Can't you see that it's still connecting?

Is this Internet dependable?

Is the computer overheating?

You're the one who's overheating.

Don't be nervous.

It's online.

[Wei Da, fun in Go]

I'm so forgetful. Which ingredient should I add first?

Oh, onions.

[Can Can calling]

Hello, Can Can?

Right, what time is movie after the dinner?

Don't worry about it.

I'm already making dinner.

Rain or shine, I'll wait for you.

Bye.

[Wei Da News Special notice: Chu Ying is online]

Grandpa is back on Go!

[Following: Chu Ying is online Current status: Available...]

Who is he playing against?

Look.

Many people sent you messages privately. Look.

"Chu Ying, please take me in as your disciple."

Hey, look at this one.

"Name the price. I'd like to have a go with you.".

This is utter nonsense.

"Chu Ying, marry me".

I don't care about these.

I just want to play against him.

Stay calm.

I believe in you.

Look, it's been so long

and you still have the highest win rate.

No one has surpassed you.

Yu Xiao Yang has said it.

If he loses to you,

he'll pull out of the world of Go.

It wouldn't be possible for him to beat you.

Don't tell me he's for real.

He's online.

Yu Xiao Yang is online.

Is this him?

[9-Dan player, Yu Xiao Yang is online]

[Officially-verified, Yu Xiao Yang, 9-Dan player and world champion]

Yes, it's him.

Let's start.

[Awaiting Yu Xiao Yang to accept challenge]

[Chu Ying: Start now?]

Let's start.

[Yu Xiao Yang: Let's do it.]

-Hello? -[Mr Fang.]

[Chu Ying is online again.]

[He's playing against Yu Xiao Yang.]

There are many online players with the name "Yu Xiao Yang".

Who knows whether it's the real deal.

[He's a verified player.]

[Right, Mr Fang,]

[do you think we should ride on this wave]

[and heat up the topic of Yu Xiao Yang and Chu Ying again?]

No.

Ignore it.

Yu Liang,

Mr Yu is playing against someone online.

Do you want to come see?

Sure. Let me finish these game records first.

Alright.

Who's Mr Yu playing against?

The competitor's nickname is

Chu Ying.

Who's this Chu Ying?

Are you for real? You don't know Chu Ying?

Chu Ying is playing against Dad.

What's wrong with you? You should've told us earlier.

They're already into the 7th or 8th move.

Hello, Hong He? I'd like to bet some more.

I'll bet on Yu Xiao Yang.

I think, he's the greatest

Go player in the entire world.

[Then, I'll bet on Chu Ying.]

[If I lose,]

-[I'll swallow one whole burger.] -Look!

Chu Ying's not even connecting his pieces

and already started to attack.

He's so bold!

-These are gods of Go! -Yeah! Mad skills!

This move is just brilliant.

My word!

[Xiao Xiao, Chu Ying and Yu Xiao Yang are competing on Wei Da. Tune in now.]

Do you have a computer by chance?

-Yeah. -Can I use it?

Sure, but your hair would only be done in half an hour.

-Oh, not an issue. -Okay. It's over there.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

[X-Xuanfa Saloon]

You scared me to death!

Please take it away!

I'm sorry.

Is this really Yu Xiao Yang?

You know about Go too?

A little.

[Wu Di, your idol is in a match with Yu Xiao Yang!]

[Message sent]

Mr Yu put such an elegant pause to this step!

You play Go?

I consider myself half a professional Go player.

Five-seven, Atari.

Two-four, invasion.

Mr Yu, left the corner to you

and chose to do an Atsumi.

Yu Xiao Yang,

it's all about a balanced territory, huh?

We won't have time for lunch.

This will be a tough battle.

I'll be with you.

He's threatening me.

No way.

I'll show you

who's the strong one and who's the weak one.

You thought you've gained control of the game,

hence, begin attacking.

That would only strengthen my Atsumi

to its fullest.

I'd like to know

who's this person behind the screen.

It's actually you...

Both of you are the ones playing,

but, I'm the one with chills down my spine.

The atmosphere is so heavy.

Connect.

This step

is quite aggressive.

It's like

wanting to tell you something.

It's still fine.

He's just serious.

Nine-fourteen.

Bend.

He's not only wanting to show me

how serious he is.

I can tell that you're a strong match

from the move you've just made.

But, I think,

it's too extreme.

I've been waiting for this game

for a long time.

Who are you?

I'm Chu Ying.

Why are you

playing against me in places where people can't see you?

How is it possible for

such a highly-skilled player

to not want to be known?

Because,

I don't need anyone to know.

If I win,

please tell me your identity.

I can't.

Not even with

the promise of me

pulling out of the world of Go if I lose?

Since you're that disrespectful,

then, I won't show any mercy.

You alright?

Yeah. Sorry.

Mum.

Mum?

Where did you put the video camera?

What's up?

Where's the video camera?

I've got to record a game.

Your exam's around the corner and you're going on the Internet?

Please find it for me.

Okay, okay. I'll get to it.

I'm here to deliver the Go board.

Who here is in charge?

Our teacher is not in. Just place it in that class.

What's this you're looking at?

Yu Xiao Yang's competing online too?

[The Way of Go]

Mr Yu's used another Elephant's Move

to seal in Chu Ying's pieces.

It looks like

it won't be easy for White to get ahead.

Yeah.

To me, it looks like

he's using the guise of threatening the White

to surround nothing.

You know how to play Go too?

I'm so-so.

I've played against a few of the players from your club.

If you're interested, you're welcomed to watch together.

Chu Ying,

why is Black's territory expanding?

Don't panic.

This round will just end up in an all-or-nothing move at the endgame.

Like always,

he plays it safe.

But now,

this isn't the best choice.

He thought wrong.

How can you still be this calm?

Are you that confident in winning

in the second-half of the match?

Did you make these moves on purpose?

There is no order in every move you made.

But, each of the move

contains endless possibilities for change.

Isn't this the fun of playing Go?

To know oneself's strength,

then fully implement it.

That's the true basics to winning a match.

Then, is it meaningful for you

to compete this way?

I've been watching your matches for eight years.

You have a profound style of playing

that emphasizes on being balanced.

Your forte is in pre-emptive moves and kung fu Go.

But now,

you're still the same.

There's nothing wrong with it.

I agree.

But,

you've been in shackles for too long.

You're afraid.

You're afraid of breakthrough.

You're worried that change

would take away the champion title that you've been defending.

Nonsense!

I don't care about the title.

Then, why go through such struggle?

I...

I just can't be complacent.

Every match

represents the multifarious rhythms of how all living things on earth work.

Every trick and style

has endless variations.

They should be freed

like how we also ought to be.

You just wanted to tell me these?

Who are you, exactly?

Yu.

Scrub my back for me.

It's almost done, bro.

Twelve-nine.

Nice!

White's move

has broken the potential in the centre,

and it's weakened Black's overall strength.

Mr Yu hasn't made any bad move.

But, this circumstance has unknowingly

made him evenly-matched with his opponent.

No.

My dad's starting to be at a disadvantage.

The difference is too insignificant.

I can't even calculate it.

Who will win?

There's a narrow difference between you and Yu Xiao Yang right now.

It's only a slight difference.

You...

Sixteen-eight.

I think both of us

can tell the results of this match.

You'll lose by a quarter of the pieces.

The attack and defence paths before the endgame

are different.

And, every endgame's value has to be determined

while doing it in the right order.

And, there's only one

correct path.

I've lost.

Encountering each of your focused move

brings me far more joy

than fear.

Having played against you in such good spirits

brings me satisfaction.

But...

But,

the Divine Move didn't appear.

Sure enough.

We're after

the same thing.

Since it didn't even appear

in such a major match like ours,

then, I believe

it doesn't exist.

After a match,

it's natural to be happy over a victory,

but there's no need to cry over defeat.

I've learnt my lesson.

I've been looking for the Divine Move

for thousands of years.

I had thought finding it

would bring meaning to my existence.

But now, I suddenly realised

I found something more important.

You won.

You won against Yu Xiao Yang.

We won against him.

Yeah, yeah.

Which is the Divine Move?

Tell me, quick.

You didn't find it?

It didn't appear even in the match with Yu Xiao Yang?

Then, where can we find it?

Perhaps, I no longer

need to find it.

Stop joking.

I know your only wish is to find the Divine Move.

What does the Divine Move

even look like?

I still haven't helped you find it.

He won.

Grandpa won against 9-Dan Yu Xiao Yang.

Grandpa won against 9-Dan Yu Xiao Yang.

Oh, my gosh.

I'm lucky enough to have watched this match.

I'm just...

It'd be worth it even if I died.

When will I

have such good skills?

You know a lot about Go.

You should be quite professional.

Why didn't you go for grading?

Although I'm good,

I don't like it.

Then, why are you half a professional player?

Because, I'll never acquire such skill.

Since you're half a professional player,

consider this treatment free.

Thank you.

I have a friend

who's a real professional player.

I have a bunch of friends who are professional players.

Who would have thought,

this Chu Ying could defeat 9-Dan Yu Xiao Yang?

Chu Ying is exceptional.

His judgment and calculation is outstanding.

Besides the ability to see through the opponent's motive,

he can also calculate

the moves that are the best for him.

You know Chu Ying?

One year ago,

I played against him.

After that match,

he disappeared from the online world.

Disappeared for a year?

Then, he played against your dad once he reappeared?

Was this set up?

Could it be him?

Yes, yes, yes!

I finally understood

why there's not a tinge of regret.

I'd be contented even at the thought of

playing Go with you forever

without finding the Divine Move.

Do you want to have some fun

before the next match?

What's wrong?

Xiao Guang?

I need to go do a game review.

Xiao Guang.

What's wrong?

Is there any move that you don't understand?

Shi Guang,

what are you doing in there?

Have you seen the match of the century between Grandpa and Yu Xiao Yang?

I know now!

Isn't there a Wedge cut here?

Normally, one would think

Black should mend the connection here, right?

That's what the Black did.

But, if he didn't mend the connection here,

but placed a piece on this top corner,

then, White could only block.

After being blocked, Black would return and mend the connection.

Meaning he would have won by half a piece.

Do you understand what I mean?

In other words, if Yu Xiao Yang had placed a piece here...

I would have lost.

You would have lost.

I noticed this move.

It wasn't you.

Neither was it Yu Xiao Yang.

It was me!

I tell you, something didn't feel right after we exited the cyber cafe.

I knew there must be a problem here.

This is awesome!

You could have lost, Chu Ying!

You could have lost!

Tell me,

you didn't notice this move.

Neither did Yu Xiao Yang.

But I, Shi Guang, noticed it.

It looks like

my improvement during this period

has been tremendous.

Let me tell you.

Besides being happy this time,

I also felt

an extremely special feeling,

like I can read your mind,

as well as Yu Xiao Yang's mind.

It felt that your every move

were written in my heart.

As if this match

was held for me.

But, this has gone...

You're right.

This match

was held for you.

Oh, no!

Didn't Yu Xiao Yang promise to retire if he loses?

Let's go to him!

Oh my goodness!

Finally, I understand.

Winners do not strive.

Only by letting go of the thirst for victory,

one can see...

Chu Ying, let's go!

The Divine Move.
