Su Xinghe and Murong Fu continued their match. Murong Fu sacrificed a large cluster of black stones, only to gain a subtle, encircling position against the white stones. Sure enough, after dozens of moves, a massive dragon of Su Xinghe’s was trapped in the center, destined to be slaughtered by Murong Fu’s black stones.
Su Xinghe shook his head as he studied the board, muttering to himself, "So that is it. The Zhenlong Go Formation requires one to give first in order to gain later. I have racked my brain over this formation for over a decade, yet I failed to see something so simple. It is true: without understanding how to give, how can there be gain? Decades passed like a single day, all like a dream, a bubble, a shadow..."
"Heh, this brat Murong Fu actually has some real talent," Ding Chunqiu remarked, having witnessed the breaking of the formation, unable to help but look at Murong Fu with newfound respect.
