Next came the personal performance time for Xue An.
Five segments, six segments, seven segments...
Under the astonished gaze of everyone present,
Xue An advanced through segment eight with overwhelming momentum and arrived directly in front of segment nine, which represented the highest achievement in the art of Go.
The news spread.
The entire Tian Zhao Star Domain was shaken by it.
The crowd that had come for the spectacle squeezed the open space before the segment nine evaluations so tightly that water couldn't seep through.
People whispered to each other, with much speculation.
From time to time, they would look at Xue An standing before the evaluation point with complex expressions.
It could be said that with the achievements Xue An had obtained by now, he had already slapped numerous faces.
Because from ancient times to the present, no Go master had ever managed to pass eight segments in such a short period of time.
