Otherwise, Ogata Seiji would definitely have been shocked by Touya Meijin's words.
After a moment of silence, Ogata Seiji seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, do you know who the teacher of that child named Chen Anxia that you're concerned about is? Why have I never seen his chess theories before?"
Upon hearing this, Touya Meijin paused for a moment, then said, "I don't know who his teacher is."
"And I can't think of anyone who could be his teacher."
Touya Meijin's words startled Ogata Seiji, who looked on incredulously.
Because of Touya Meijin's words, he also doubted himself, believing that he could not become Chen Anxia's teacher.
This is simply incredible.
You should know that this is Touya Meijin!
If even Meijin Touya, a top player standing at the pinnacle of the contemporary Go world and hailed as the closest to the divine move, cannot become Chen Anxia's teacher, then...
Seeing Ogata Seiji's reaction, Touya Meijin naturally knew what his disciple was thinking.
However, instead of answering Ogata Seiji's question, Touya Meijin asked, "Seiji, who do you think will win between Chen Anxia and Iwashima in the finals?"
After hearing what Touya Meijin said, Ogata Seiji barely came to his senses.
After thinking it over carefully, Ogata Seiji replied, "Although I didn't watch all of Chen Anxia's semi-final games, I can roughly tell his skill level."
"In my opinion, although Chen Anxia's chess theory is terrifying, his chess strength is weaker than that of the player who played against Iwashima Otoko before."
"Therefore, the victory in the final should belong to Iwashima."
Meijin Touya neither nodded nor shook his head upon hearing this. Instead, he picked up a white stone and placed it on the board where the review had already ended. He said, "Iwashima's skill is very strong. He is stronger than Akira, and he is even comparable to a professional."
"Even so, I can still see through Iwashima's true skill level."
"But Chen Anxia is different..."
As he spoke, Touya Meijin turned his gaze to Ogata Seiji, his eyes revealing an unprecedented solemnity, and said, "Because even I can't see through Chen Anxia's true skill level."
Upon hearing this, Ogata Seiji's pupils constricted sharply, his face filled with disbelief. He couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Even you, Sensei, can't see through this? How... how is this possible!?"
Seeing this, Meijin Touya turned his gaze back to the game, saying, "Seiji, just look forward to it... look forward to the upcoming finals..."
As he spoke, a turbulent reflection seemed to appear deep within Touya Meijin's eyes.
This also reveals the inner turmoil within the master of Touya.
Meijin Touya was also looking forward to it, hoping that Chen Anxia, who could make that amazing move, would show him what kind of wonderful game he could play.
As for Ogata Seiji, he was still unable to recover from Touya Meijin's words for a long time.
In this situation, time gradually passed, and the final... finally arrived.
As the announcement from the Island Kingdom Go Association sounded, everyone gathered inside, including Hikaru Shindo, Akira Touya, and Shinsuke Ichiyanagi, were startled and turned their gazes toward the lounge.
Under their watchful eyes, Chen Anxia and Iwashima walked out of the lounge one after the other and headed towards the arena.
Throughout this process, the man from Iwashima still wore a fox-like smile, his narrowed fox-like eyes staring at Chen Anxia's back in front of him, revealing boundless malice.
Chen Anxia seemed to sense something, and goosebumps immediately rose on the back of his body.
However, a smile appeared on Chen Anxia's lips.
The next moment, a mission pop-up window that was invisible to others appeared in front of both Iwashima and Miki.
The pop-up window read, "Sole Mission: Help Chen Anxia win the final..."
......

When Yuko Miki saw the task, she was first taken aback, and then her face lit up with surprise.
Yuko Miki was originally worried about how to stop Iwashima from winning the championship if she hadn't received the relevant mission from Chen Anxia.
Yuko Miki never expected things to go so smoothly, and that they would actually develop in the direction she had envisioned.
In her heart, Yuko Miki murmured, 'Could it be that what I said had an effect?'
At the same time, Yuko Miki wanted to take on this task.
But just as Miki Yuko was about to accept the quest, she suddenly seemed to remember something and muttered to herself, "Since I was able to trigger this quest, then the fox brat, who is also a player, should be able to trigger it too, right..."
Muttering to herself, Yuko Miki glanced at the man from Iwashima, a look of interest on her face, and whispered, "What would you choose? That wicked little fox..."
Subsequently, Yuko Miki did not choose to accept the mission, but instead began to contact her father through the Truth Superbrain.
Because Miki Yuko knew that her father was in seclusion.
Therefore, regardless of whether Iwashima accepts the mission, Miki Yuko needs to prepare in advance in order to be prepared for any eventuality.
At the same time, when the man from Iwashima saw the mission pop-up in front of him, he paused in his tracks, his expression froze, and he was completely dumbfounded.
Iwashima never expected that he would trigger the unique mission again.
However, the content of this sole mission was unacceptable to Iwashima.
You should know that Yan Dao has already made a bold statement to Chen Anxia, saying he wants to see who the real clown is.
If Iwajima accepts this mission, it would be tantamount to Iwajima admitting that he is the clown, and it would be like Iwajima getting a resounding slap in the face.
The most ridiculous thing is that the man from the island was actually hitting himself.
To the man from Iwashima, this was utterly devastating, a complete violation of moral principles, and...
Iwashima couldn't help but open his personal panel, pull up his mission record, and look at the only mission he had ever accepted.
The sole requirement of this task is to win the national children's competition.
Now, another unique mission has appeared, the requirement of which is to help Chen Anxia win the final.
Seeing the two unique missions clashing, the man from the rock island was speechless and couldn't help but wonder if the Truth Superbrain was deliberately targeting him.
However, Iwashima also knew that although the two unique missions conflicted, they were indeed unique missions, only the subjects of the missions were different.
This also means that Iwashima has to choose between abandoning one of the two conflicting missions.
Without hesitation, the man from Iwashima abandoned the last and only mission.
Iwashima could never bring himself to contradict himself.
Just as Iwashima made his decision, he suddenly thought of Miki Yuko, his eyes narrowing slightly as he thought to himself, "Could it be that this is the method she mentioned for stopping me?"
As he thought about it, Iwashima became more and more certain.
Although Iwashima didn't know how Miki Yuko had triggered this quest, it must be said that the unique quest was very attractive to players.
As for dignity in the game...
Well, in the eyes of many players, when faced with enough profit, sorry, can the dignity in the game put food on the table?
Then, the man from the rocky island's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said softly, "You probably never would have guessed, but I've already accepted a unique mission, and one that creates a conflict..."
As he spoke, the man from Iwashima, who had paused, began to move again. Looking at Chen Anxia, who was already seated at the chessboard, he continued, "I'll show you who the real clown is..."
Chen Anxia seemed to sense something and turned to look.
Upon looking at him, Chen Anxia saw that the man from Iwashima was staring at her with malice.
In response, Chen Anxia smiled slightly at Iwashima and silently uttered a single word.
Iwajima understood the unspoken words Chen Anxia uttered. His smile froze instantly, his face turned incredibly ugly, and his anger burned fiercely within him.
Finally, the final round officially began.
The first activity was guessing who would go first.
During the guessing game, Yuko Miki began to confirm the status of this unique task.
At this point, Yuko Miki discovered that the only quest was still available.
This means that Iwashima did not accept this unique mission.
Seeing this, Yuko Miki no longer hesitated and accepted this unique task.
At the same moment, in the world where the player is located, Miki Soji receives a reminder from his daughter.
This reminder made Miki Sōji slightly frown, and he muttered softly, "That despicable person who uses Go-playing AI dares to call my precious daughter trash..."
"Very well, then let you truly experience the profound love an ordinary father has for his daughter..."
As he murmured to himself, the terrifying aura belonging to Miki Soji gradually solidified, but it did not erupt. It simply lingered around Miki Soji like dense, gathering dark clouds, announcing the coming storm.
The coin toss game has ended, and it has been confirmed that Chen Anxia will play black and move first.
Upon learning the result, Miki Soji did not hesitate at all. He reached out and picked up a black stone, placing it on the star point in the upper left corner of the board.
Simultaneously, Yuko Miki used her mind to place pieces on a virtual chessboard that only she could see.
At the same moment, a voice rang in Chen Anxia's mind again.
The voice told Chen Anxia where to place his piece, while also leaving the principles of chess in Chen Anxia's mind.
The chess principles left behind this time contain Miki Soji's insights into the principles of chess in the universe during this period.
Although Chen Anxia gained some insights into the principles of cosmic chess during this period, he certainly could not compare with Miki Soji, a top-tier chess player.
Gradually, Chen Anxia immersed himself in the new understanding of the principles of chess in the universe.
In a daze, Chen Anxia seemed to see a vast universe unfolding before his eyes.
After seeing Chen Anxia place a stone in the upper left corner star position, Iwashima immediately placed a stone in the upper right corner star position, which was calculated by the Go AI to have the highest winning probability.
The moment Iwashima made his move, the white piece he placed also appeared on the virtual chessboard in front of Miki Yuko.
Without hesitation, Yuko Miki told her father about this move.
Soon, Yuko Miki received her father's reply and placed a piece on the virtual chessboard in front of her with her mind.
At the same time, following the voice that echoed in his mind, Chen Anxia placed his piece...in the lower left corner of the star position.
After Chen Anxia made this move, many of the spectators couldn't help but pause in surprise, muttering, "This is... a double star formation!?"
