In the end, Rocky just simply drew an area in his Magic Spiritual Space and engraved a big chessboard on the ground, trying to imitate it.
Upon finishing the simulation, he finally found something noteworthy. The chess pieces on the chessboard formed a moving path, and as he moved along this path, he would eventually reach an advantageous position. Although he wasn’t able to fully understand the principle behind the move, there was something with all the games that he had played with the Lorenzo. Rocky noticed that there was actually a kind of moving path that was hidden inside. It looked unpredictable and somewhat messy, but the end results were surprisingly the same.
“If Miss Hannah didn’t point it out to me, I wouldn’t have figured it so soon,” Rocky said to himself. He was fully aware that Hannah had helped him a lot this time.
Without wasting any time, he immediately entered the Scarlet Heaven Jade and summoned Lorenzo.
“Sir, I’ve already comprehended the footwork that was hidden in your chess game. However, I’m not sure what kind of footwork this is. How can it give people a feeling that you are securing an invincible position?” Rocky asked, still a bit confused about the underlying principle.
“It is called the Demonic Chess Footwork. It is created by the ever-changing skills that are exhibited in the game. It can gain the upper hand in every aspect, so naturally, it can be invincible,” Lorenzo briefly explained as he heard that Rocky had already made great progress.
“Hmm. But how can I integrate this footwork into real battle? I’m having quite a hard time imagining how it could work all the time,” Rocky asked with furrowed brows.
“Listen. Although there are many changes in the footwork, there is only one goal and purpose, and that is the enemy's general. Therefore, as long as you can think about how to bring the other party’s general down, you will be able to perform it according to the situation that you are in. Of course, it still depends whether you are really talented in this aspect. If you're not, you can still display the ordinary power of this footwork at the least, but if you do possess an outstanding talent, this footwork can stimulate your potential and help you deal with your opponent in a single blow!” Lorenzo explained in detail.
“I see. Thank you for your instruction, sir!” Upon hearing what Lorenzo had said, Rocky learned that in order to make the most out of the Demonic Chess Footwork, it would solely depend on him.
“Well, it’s time for me to leave. But before that, how about another game? Although I’m just a remnant of my original soul, my addiction to chess won’t change,” Lorenzo said with a faint smile.
“No problem, sir. But may I ask something? Why are you called the demon king? I read it on your tablet. You don’t seem like the type of person who should be given that title,” Rocky asked out of curiosity.
“Well, it’s a long story, but everything is in the past now. But if ever you have the chance to go to the Di Clan one day, maybe you’ll know the answer. Besides, I’ve left a cultivation cave in that place, which holds my lifetime collection. From now on, they’re all yours,” Lorenzo declared.
“Thank you, sir!” Rocky didn’t expect that he would be gaining a lot of things by just playing a game of chess with Lorenzo. Although he had to really rack his mind up, his hard work wasn’t in vain.
“So, shall we start?” Lorenzo asked with a gentle smile.
Rocky nodded and made the first move to start the game. However, when they were still in the middle of playing, Lorenzo’s broken soul gradually became almost transparent.
A moment later, it finally turned into a spiritual light that flew into Rocky’s body. At the same time, the stone tablet of Lorenzo was broken into pieces.
