So the chess academy sent a teacher to play against Mu Mu to test his chess skills and talent.

The teacher was a dignified ninth-level chess player, but he only managed to get in the middle of the game and lost to Mu Mu.

The teacher was dissatisfied and thought he lost because of his carelessness.

So he made an appointment with Mu Mu to play Juban chess, but he only played six games and lost Juban chess with a six-game losing streak.

For a time, the reputation of wood spread throughout Nanliang.

Memory fragment five:

Mu Mu, who was famous for a while, was admitted to the Nanliang Chess Academy and became a student. He was even named "Zhang Dao" by the dean.

Zhang Dao studied hard in the chess academy.

A year later, Zhang Daocheng was among the top ten in the hospital.

Three years later, Zhang Dao became the number one student in the college.

It took another ten years for Zhang Dao to become the youngest fifth-level chess player in the history of Nanliang.

Memory fragment four:

Zhang Dao was expelled from the Nanliang Chess Academy because he participated in gambling and violated the rules of the Nanliang Chess Academy.

So Zhang Dao left Nanliang and began to travel around the world.

After decades of traveling, Zhang Dao's chess skills have improved further.

He came to Qixia Temple, the holy place for chess players, played chess to meet friends, and invited the chess monks in the temple to fight.

None of the monks in the temple were rivals of Zhang Dao, and this incident alarmed all the Buddhas of the Hunkun Holy Sect.

Then the Buddha appeared and played against Zhang Dao hundreds of times, but Zhang Dao could not win even one game.

Memory fragment five:

In order to further improve his chess skills, Zhang Dao became a disciple of the Buddha, and because of this, he became a disciple of the Hunkun Holy Sect.

However, because Zhang Dao was obsessed with chess and neglected to practice, even if he had great resources, he could only reach the realm of the Immortal King and could not make any further progress.

And because Zhang Daozhi was not involved in worldly affairs, the city was not deep and he did not know much about the ways of the world.

Memory fragment six:

Master Zhang Dao passed away.

In order to comply with his master's last wish, Zhang Dao left the Shengzong and traveled down the mountain.

Memory fragment seven:

Zhang Dao received a letter from his friend Shi Guizhen and decided to go to the Arctic Dao Fruit Conference...

…

After a long time.

Ning Fan absorbed all Zhang Dao's memory fragments.

Although most of these memory fragments were damaged, they still gave Ning Fan a general understanding of Zhang Dao.

This Hunkun disciple Zhang Dao seems to be an out-and-out chess fanatic who doesn't care much about spiritual practice; but he doesn't seem to be a chess player with a noble character, because this person was once expelled from Nanliang for gambling.

Chess Academy.

"Is this the character I play..."

"Zhang Dao's strength is mediocre, but his chess skills are indeed quite powerful. If compared with Master Luan Gu's chess skills, he can probably beat Master Luan Gu..."

Ning Fan had received the memory inheritance from Emperor Luan Gu, which included Emperor Luan Gu's chess skills.

Luan Gu Emperor's chess skills were considered to be among the best among cultivators; but compared to Zhang Dao, a chess cultivator who was obsessed with chess skills, he was still a little weaker.

After all, Emperor Luan Gu only regarded chess as a hobby, but Zhang Dao regarded it as a lifelong pursuit. There is no comparison between the two.

While Ning Fan was receiving Zhang Dao's memory, Duowen's old demon body dispersed and turned into a wisp of demon light, flying back into the fragments of the artifact.

The reason is that he is now just a broken voice and cannot break away from the fragments of the artifact to maintain his demonic appearance for a long time.

Ning Fan didn't bother to delve into whether this reason was true or false. Because next, there were more important things than this matter that required Ning Fan to make a decision.

【Trigger event.】

[Unfinished event: Decide the route.]

The Holy Son's Thunder Book, which was collected by Ning Fan into the sea of ​​consciousness, suddenly contained new information.

Just as he was wondering how to deal with this information, he saw Shi Gandang coming to ask for instructions respectfully holding a roll of nautical charts.

"Senior, I would like to inform you that going forward, there are three routes leading to the Arctic Dao Fruit Conference. I don't know which route senior wants to take? Please give me your instructions."

Using the nautical chart, Shi Gandang marked the three routes and informed Ning Fan of their advantages and disadvantages one by one.

The first route passes through the nine fairy countries. It is less dangerous but takes a long time. It takes three years to reach the Arctic Dao Fruit Conference.

The second route passes through four fairy kingdoms and has many dangers. The biggest danger is that it needs to pass by the Sea Banshee's Nest, but it only takes two years.

The third route has no landing place and needs to cross the sea area where Canghai Dragon Palace is located. It is extremely dangerous, but it takes very short time, only six months.

When it came to the route, Ning Fan did not make a random decision and seriously considered the matter.

At the same time, a branch of fate appeared in the book of thunder.

[The branch of destiny appears: Choose route one, you can get points, ten to fifty stars, extra reward, Nine Kingdoms Immortal Power; Choose route two, you can get points five to twenty stars, extra reward, Ama Bone Sword; Choose route three

, you can get points from two to ten stars, and an additional reward is a Cang Beast Dao Fruit.】

"Oh? Is there an extra reward for making a choice this time?" Ning Fan said in surprise.

After chatting with Duo Wen, Ning Fan already knew in advance that the selection of certain special events in the trial would come with additional rewards. He just didn't expect that just the choice of route would actually trigger additional rewards.

It seems that the choice of route is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Duowen, if it were you, how would you choose a route?" Ning Fan asked casually.

After a while, a well-informed answer came from the artifact fragments Ning Fan carried, as if he had gone through some deep thinking.

"I choose the second option!" Duo Wen.

"What's the reason?" Ning Fan.

"At first glance, the first route seems the safest and has the highest score, but its disadvantage is that it takes the longest time. I remember that some Ziwei Holy Sons have also triggered similar tasks, and they chose the safest and most time-consuming route.

As a result, many of them arrived at the destination too late and missed many events, so the final score was not high... As for the Nine Kingdoms Immortal Power rewarded by the first route, it is a good thing. If you accept it, you can

The mana has skyrocketed for hundreds of calamities, but it will slightly affect the foundation..."

"I don't want things that affect the foundation." Ning Fan replied.

"Ahem, cough, cough, you kid, when considering a route, do you only consider whether the additional rewards are generous?" Duo Wen was speechless. He accidentally said what he was thinking, but he was surprised that the words were too rude, and immediately changed his tone.

, he apologized and said with a smile, "I made a mistake, I made a mistake. What the Immortal said makes sense. We can't have things that affect our foundation, so we won't choose the first route! Don't choose it!"

Seeing that Ning Fan didn't seem to care about his gaffe, Duo Wen breathed a sigh of relief and then analyzed, "The third route is a bit too urgent. This choice has a low score, and it is almost a dead end.

Situation. What is the existence of the Canghai Dragon Palace? It is the overlord of Nichenhai - the lair of the Cang beasts!"

"A drop of seawater from Nichen Sea can weigh as much as a mountain. There is a beast in the sea named Cang. Anyone who tries to take away the seawater from Nichen will be attacked by Cang. Even the trivial matter of taking seawater will offend the Cang beast. This shows how powerful these Cang beasts are.

Overbearing and tyrannical. If you choose the third route, you will definitely get a Cang Beast Dao Fruit as a reward. You pass by someone else's lair and you also carry a Cang Beast Dao Fruit with you. Tsk tsk tsk... I'm afraid you don't want to attract Cang Beast Dao Fruit.

The entire beast clan was furious. Immortal Emperor Ziwei set up this choice, probably to let those greedy people understand that some things are destined to be greedy, but they should be taken without life. Of course, putting aside everything else, the Cang Beast Dao Fruit itself

But a good thing, even if it is of the lowest quality, can increase your mana by more than two hundred calamities for you, and at the same time, it can also greatly increase your qi and blood, and it does not have side effects like the Nine Kingdoms Immortal Power..."

"From this point of view, Cang Beast Daoguo is really good." Ning Fan seemed to be interested in moving.

"This kid... really only cares about whether the additional rewards are valuable, right..." Duo Wen complained endlessly. This time, he had a better memory and did not slip away what he was thinking.

"The reason why I chose the second route is that I used the elimination method to eliminate the two worst choices and came to the safest answer." Duowen gave the final conclusion.

"You haven't said what's so precious about the Haenyeo Bone Sword." Ning Fan reminded.

"The Haenyeo Bone Sword is very good. It is an extremely powerful innate high-grade magic weapon. With your cultivation level, it is easy to kill the Immortal Emperor with one strike with this sword." Duo Wen.

"Kill the Immortal Emperor with one sword? It would be better to use the Cang Beast Dao Fruit..." Ning Fan naturally has no shortage of magic weapons of this level.

As a result, he is somewhat inclined to choose the third route.

"Uh, Immortal, you really want to choose the third route, right? It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Although the Holy Son's trial will not really lead to death, if you die during the trial, it will be considered the end of the trial.

"How can such an important route selection be a trivial matter..." Duo Wen was very anxious and quickly advised him.

At this moment, another voice joined the discussion.

"Brother Ning, trust your intuition! I also think that the third route is the best!" The voice of the ant master sounded.

"Holy, saint's words! How can there be a saint speaking in you!" Duo Wen was shocked. With his ability, he couldn't tell that this was a saint speaking.

Even though the ant master is just a remnant of the saint's soul, he is still...a real saint!

"Huh? Can you hear her voice?" Ning Fan was surprised, then understood.

It’s been said that this demonic creature is a six-eared macaque. He can hear the voice of the ant master, perhaps because of the six-eared macaque’s innate magical power.
