Due to the alternating vision rule, observing every other square, the fourth leap within the chessboard vision is actually the eighth position in a straight line.

That is, the next square beyond the limit of Jiang Wang’s regulatory vision as the chess master.

At this moment, within Jiang Wang’s regulatory vision, two teams of stone-man cavalry stood guard at the seventh position ahead.

Stone helmets, stone armor, stone horses.

The moment Jiang Wang saw them, they simultaneously “discovered” Jiang Wang and his party.

They uniformly raised their lances, forming two neat ranks.

Clatter, clatter, clatter.

The stone horses pounded the ground, instantly transitioning from stillness to motion, charging forward!

Qinghuo Yuanchen was about to step forward with his saber when a figure shot out with a speed he couldn’t hope to match.

Jiang Wang, like a shooting star, collided head-on with the two teams of stone-man cavalry.

His speed was much greater. The stone-man cavalry had only advanced two riders when he reached their front.

The longsword swept across his eyes, a horizontal cut!

The Sword of the Disgraced Scholar!

The imagined sound of collision didn’t occur. Like a knife through tofu, there was no resistance.

Jiang Wang stepped forward, already entering the “living point” ahead.

Clatter, clatter.

Behind him, the stone-man cavalry fell to the ground one after another, shattering into a pile of rubble.

One sword broke ten riders!

Having experienced fighting side-by-side in the Wuzhi Grotto, Qinghuo Yuanchen and the others were no longer surprised by his strength.

They just silently hurried towards the “living point,” filled with gratitude for latching onto such a powerful presence.

The “living point” itself didn’t seem to have anything special about it. Only after it was “seen” would it appear as a white block on the Royal Charter, different from the surrounding chess positions.

When Qinghuo Yuanchen and the others arrived, Jiang Wang had already circled the “living point” alone, clearing all dangers. Only a pile of rubble remained, telling of their former existence. It was impossible to discern what kind of stone-man soldiers they had been.

The group squeezed into the “living point,” and Jiang Wang designated two chess pawns as guards, then ordered everyone to rest in place.

Because of the importance of the rules, he constantly kept track of the time.

As expected, the night of the Life-and-Death Chess arrived soon after.

During the night, everyone’s “regulatory vision” was ineffective. Except for the “living point” they were in, they couldn’t see anything outside.

But on the Royal Charter, all the white blocks representing the living points lit up.

The locations of the “living points” appeared randomly and were shuffled every day. Planning a route based on memorizing the “living point” locations was impossible.

During the day of the Life-and-Death Chess, the locations of “living points” explored by oneself would be displayed on one’s own Royal Charter, but not the “living points” explored by others.

Only when night fell would the locations of all occupied “living points” be displayed at once. And only the “living points” were displayed.

The night of the Life-and-Death Chess was the time for all participants to review and plan for the next day.

Participants could use the locations of these occupied “living points,” combined with what they saw on the Royal Charter during the day, to determine the positions of their opponents.

The correct way to advance in the Life-and-Death Chess game was to control a “living point” and use it as a base to move forward and find the next “living point.” If one felt that they couldn’t find the next “living point” before nightfall, they would likely have to retreat and return to the previous “living point.”

Situations where those who held an advantage were unwilling to retreat, insisted on exploring further, but failed to find a new “living point” and lost the opportunity to return, thus being eliminated or erased, were common.

The choice between advancing and retreating was also a crucial part of the Life-and-Death Chess, testing judgment and wisdom.

Jiang Wang silently completed his basic daily cultivation before taking out the Royal Charter and unfolding it in front of him.

As the team leader designated by the clan chief Qinghuo Gaochi, Qinghuo Yuanchen studied it with him by his side.

They had only entered the Life-and-Death Chess game for the first time this afternoon, while the first batch of people to enter the Life-and-Death Chess game had already experienced two days and nights, and it was now the second night.

“Today, we had very little time and only advanced thirty positions. It’s not bad,” Jiang Wang summarized.

The fastest tribe, Jihuo, advanced one hundred and eighty positions on the first day. Judging from this speed, Jiang Wang’s advance of thirty positions in less than half an hour seemed fast enough. But this was based on the fact that they were at the bottom of all competitors, without any interference.

The Jihuo tribe’s speed on the first day was fought for among all ninety-nine tribal teams and was much more solid.

It showed how strong Jiang Wuxie’s trump card was. Jiang Wang estimated that the warriors of the Jihuo tribe had been trained by him to be as nimble as his own limbs, using the power of military formations to control extraordinary power.

But this was also the reason why he was targeted on the second day. He was tacitly “sent” in front of Lei Zhangan by all parties, and Lei Zhangan personally took action, knocking him down from the leading group.

“Combining the locations during the day, the Chi Lei tribe should be at this ‘living point’.”

Jiang Wang pointed to a position on the Royal Charter: “From this point of view, the Chi Lei tribe has advanced a total of three hundred and twelve positions as of today.”

“When we departed from the grotto, the Chi Lei tribe had already reached three hundred and seventy positions. This is a retreat rather than an advance,” Qinghuo Yuanchen said, looking at the Royal Charter, a little gloating.

“I saw at dusk that the Chi Lei tribe had already reached more than four hundred positions and was very close to the next ‘living point’,” Jiang Wang said, pointing to another living point: “Either they were ‘pulled’ back by someone, or they couldn’t take that ‘living point’ and had to retreat.”

“The Chi Lei tribe is currently in first place, so it’s normal to be targeted,” Qinghuo Yuanchen said: “Moreover, more tribes will target them tomorrow.”

Because most people’s attention was still on the Jihuo tribe today, it was only when the Jihuo tribe was suddenly knocked down that it was the Chi Lei tribe’s turn, who had come from behind.

“However, I think…” Qinghuo Yuanchen changed the subject and suggested: “We should first pay attention to the tribal teams closest to us. The Chi Lei tribe is too far away, and it’s not our turn to care.”

Jiang Wang looked at him, slightly stern: “If you don’t care about being number one, you can’t become number one. Do you think the Chi Lei tribe is far away? Unattainable? Then we shouldn’t have come on this trip. What am I doing here if I’m not striving for number one?”

“Understood,” Qinghuo Yuanchen lowered his head.

He had his own ideas but still respected Jiang Wang’s command.

Jiang Wang only said it once and let it go, carefully looking at the Royal Charter, analyzing the information, and concluding: “The Chi Lei tribe’s leading advantage has narrowed. The positions of the Zhiwen tribe, the Yuantu tribe, and the Tiemu tribe are ambiguous. There will most likely be action tomorrow.”

Currently, he only knew that the chess master of the Yuantu tribe, the number one earth tribe, was Fang Chong. The chess masters of the Zhiwen tribe and the Tiemu tribe didn’t match his memory. He estimated that he would only be able to recognize them after meeting them.

Qinghuo Yuanchen said: “It seems that the Chi Lei tribe will be pulled down, which will give us more time.”

If Lei Zhangan was so easy to deal with, that would certainly be a good thing.

Jiang Wang remained noncommittal, only looking at the Royal Charter again, then casually rolled it up and put it away.

“Do you know why Qinghuo Gaochi asked you to come to the Life-and-Death Chess with me?” he asked.

Qinghuo Yuanchen thought for a moment and said: “Perhaps because I’m willing to risk my life.”

Jiang Wang shook his head: “He intends for you to be his successor. He knows that with me here, the Qinghuo tribe’s ranking won’t be bad. So he’s giving you this merit so that you have the qualifications to be convincing.”

Qinghuo Yuanchen was stunned: “I never thought about it.”

Jiang Wang looked at him and said: “Actually, I don’t think you would be a qualified leader because you don’t unite your comrades.”

Qinghuo Yuanchen didn’t speak. He knew Jiang Wang was referring to Qinghuo Qiming.

The night in the Life-and-Death Chess game was very long.
