"Is that so? That's great!" Erina Nakiri's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she quickly agreed.
She wouldn't have dared to say such a thing without Fang Yan's prompting. After all, inheritance is very important to some people, and it would be bad if Fang Yan misunderstood her after she spoke up.
Therefore, even though Alice repeatedly expressed her desire to learn cultivation, she was stopped by him.
She didn't mention these things to Fang Yan.
If Fang Yan rejects her, she can understand his feelings, but she will also feel disappointed.
This is bad for the relationship between the two, so Erina Nakiri is more focused on improving her own strength in order to protect her family.
"Hmm!" Fang Yan nodded slightly, without saying much. Let the Wudang techniques spread; he wouldn't lose out anyway.
Even if that old guy from the distillery comes to ask me for cultivation techniques, I can give him some.
At first, Fang Yan needed to keep a low profile, but now he's different. He has the strength, and that's why he's so confident.
The main reason is the Sword of Excalibur, which gives Fang Yan a lot of confidence!
"Alright, you can sleep a little longer, I'm going out for a bit!" Fang Yan then added, "I'll also buy some breakfast on my way back. Mai-senpai, you should be up soon too."
"Ugh!" Erina Nakiri looked at Fang Yan with resentment. Her daily routine was quite normal before, but it had never been normal since she started sleeping early and waking up early. She was exhausted to the point of fainting every day.
No, I have to kick him to Mai Sakurajima's side tonight, otherwise I'm doomed sooner or later!

"Hey, what are you two still doing here?!" Fang Yan looked at Kogoro Mouri and Conan with a speechless expression.
After delivering breakfast to Erina Nakiri and Mai Sakurajima, Fang Yan arrived at the Thunder God Sword. To his surprise, the two Grim Reapers seemed to have been standing there all night.
"Damn it, that Phantom Thief Kid is a liar!" Kogoro Mouri said angrily. "He clearly said in his notice that he would come at dawn this morning, but he didn't show up. He's a complete bastard!"
"Uh!!" Fang Yan looked at Kogoro Mouri speechlessly, then at Conan with his deadpan expression. It seemed that this deduction was made by Kogoro Mouri, not by the washing machine.
He strongly suspected that Conan had wanted to leave long ago, but was held back by Kogoro Mouri.
Sure enough, Kogoro Mouri probably already knows Conan's true identity, but he just hasn't said it. Otherwise, what adult would let a child stay up all night here?
However, this had nothing to do with Fang Yan, and he wasn't particularly familiar with this group of people.
I just crave Yukiko Kudo and Eri Kisaki!
"Was there anything wrong with this sword last night?" Fang Yan asked Conan.
"Heh, someone tried to pull out the sword yesterday, but failed in the end and went back in a huff!" Conan rolled his eyes.
In his view, it was all an act, and he was supposed to play along while pretending not to see it—a truly difficult feeling!
"Is that so?" Fang Yan placed his hand on the Thunder God Sword and easily pulled it out, then helplessly put it back in. It seemed that the thing inside the Thunder God Sword had given up on taking over his body.
He could draw the Thunder God Sword without any resistance, so perhaps he should also investigate the Wind God Sword.
Just as Fang Yan was about to leave, Toyama Ginjiro hurriedly came over and whispered in Fang Yan's ear, "Mr. Fang Yan, something terrible has happened!"
"Oh? What is it?" Fang Yan raised an eyebrow and, at Toyama Ginjiro's signal, distanced himself from the others.
Although he wasn't interested in being used as a tool, Fang Yan wouldn't mind taking action if something piqued his interest.
After all, he needs to make a living too, doesn't he? Well, those points are what Fang Yan needs to earn a living!
"Have you heard of Kiyotaki Kosuke?" Toyama Ginjiro asked.
"Who is this?!" Fang Yan was a little confused. The name Kiyotaki Kosuke seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it at all.
He should be a public figure, but he just doesn't pay attention to it, which is perfectly normal.
"Kiyotaki Kosuke is a titan in the world of shogi, and one of the few 9-dan players currently! He has taught many famous disciples, including the youngest Ryuo Kuzuryuu Yaichi and Naniwa Shirayuki Hime Sora Ginko! He is a prominent figure in our Kansai region!" Toyama Ginjiro explained carefully.
"So it was him!" Fang Yan's face showed a look of understanding. It wasn't that Fang Yan remembered Kiyotaki Kosuke, but mainly because his two disciples were too famous.
Isn't this one of the characters from the Dragon King's prison?
And Sora Ginko is the famous Ginko, but the latest plot of the novel seems to be that "Ginko is finally settled".
Fang Yan still vividly remembered Kong Yinzi, especially the picture of her stepping on someone in black stockings.
I never imagined that this world even had food for the Dragon King in prison.
However, this is not incomprehensible, since before the spiritual energy revival, this was originally a slice-of-life world of crossover anime!
Is it strange to have empty silver coins?
"What happened to them?" Fang Yan asked curiously.
He also became interested in this matter.
“Death Shogi!” Ginjiro Toyama’s expression also turned serious. “Actually, during this period, there have been other people in the shogi world who have been challenged by Death Shogi. Everyone who lost has died in the end!”
"Is it an agreement between people?" Fang Yan raised an eyebrow and asked with some doubt.
“No!” Ginjiro Toyama shook his head slightly: “To be precise, the opponent is shogi! Death shogi appears in front of the challenger, and those players can only choose to accept the challenge. The other side of the death shogi is played by the shogi itself. If it loses to the opponent, it will silently lose its life.”
Our people, even those of Nozhao, have dissected these dead people and found no abnormal lungs!
They were the kind of people who died without illness or disaster.
Because several famous shogi players had died previously, Kiyotaki Kosuke learned of this and wanted to personally play against the "Death Shogi" player, defeating him so that he would stop attacking other players!
"He is indeed a good person!" Fang Yan nodded upon hearing this.
Fang Yan respected this kind of behavior—knowing there was danger but still participating, even at the cost of one's life.
"So he's dead?" Fang Yan then asked Toyama Ginjiro.

Chapter 164
“Yes!” Toyama Ginjiro said with a wry smile, “Kiyotaki Kosuke truly deserves to be one of the world’s top shogi players. After a fierce battle of six hours, he was finally defeated and died. Before that, no one had ever been able to play against a death shogi for more than two hours!”
However, this incident has created a climate of fear within the shogi world, with some even giving up the game altogether for fear of being found by the "death shogi" phenomenon!
"Then they still don't love shogi enough!" Fang Yan said with a light laugh.
Kiyotaki Kosuke's affairs are none of my business, but such a person can definitely be considered great. He is not only fighting for himself, but also for shogi.
He foresaw the enormous impact the "death shogi" phenomenon would have on the shogi world if it continued to develop. It could lead to the deaths of all shogi players, and then no one would dare to learn shogi anymore.
The saying "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening" meant much more than just that for Kiyotaki Kosuke; it also meant fighting for the game of shogi, which he loved.
"After all, it's a matter of life and death!" Ginjiro Toyama said seriously. "If the same thing happened to me, I would probably face death too!"
"Perhaps!" Fang Yan nodded slightly. "I've taken on this task. So, how should I declare war on Death Chess?"
"You know how to play shogi?" Toyama Ginjiro was first delighted, then asked curiously.
"No way!" Fang Yan shook his head. "Why would I bother learning something so troublesome?"
Isn't playing games more fun? Isn't spending time with girls more fun? Why bother studying shogi?
At least he had no interest in shogi.
Before gaining immense power, Fang Yan's usual hobbies were mostly playing basketball, working out, playing games, watching anime, and practicing kendo as a form of self-defense. Otherwise, he didn't really have any special interests.
"Then why are you still going to play chess?" Ginjiro Toyama looked at Fang Yan with surprise. (daba)
"I'm quite curious how he plans to deal with me! So what if I lose? As long as I'm stronger than him, what can he do to me?" Fang Yan said with a light laugh.
According to his guess, this must be a ghost, or a shogi piece that has come to life and is causing trouble.
Well, there is a certain possibility that shogi pieces could become sentient, but the possibility is so small that even Fang Yan couldn't help but want to deny it.
However, it is very likely that a special monster resides in the game of shogi, and the players have to face something similar to AlphaGo, which is quite difficult for them.
"Um, are you sure you're stronger than him?" Ginjiro Toyama asked quickly.
Although they had great confidence in Fang Yan's abilities, what if he unexpectedly stumbled?
"No one's testing me in Death Chess, has they?" Fang Yan chuckled and said, "So how am I supposed to challenge Death Chess now?"
"I don't know either, but Kiyotaki Kosuke's family should know. If you don't mind, we can go and take a look first. Perhaps you can see something from the corpse!" Toyama Ginjiro subtly reminded Fang Yan to be careful.
"Sure!" Fang Yan did not refuse. He was not arrogant enough to be invincible, and it would be good to understand the situation.
......................................................................................................
Led by Ginjiro Toyama, Fang Yan quickly arrived at Kosuke Kiyotaki's house. At that moment, Kosuke Kiyotaki's body was laid out in the house. Beside him, a pretty older sister with brown hair was sobbing in front of Kosuke Kiyotaki's body.
Beside her stood a man and a woman, roughly the same age as Fang Yan, watching everything with gloomy faces; clearly, they were not in a good mood.
These two are Sora Ginko and Kuzuryu Yaichi!
As disciples, they knew why their master had died: Death Shogi! A terrifying existence!
The master sacrificed himself for all the chess players, but they were not happy, not just because the master lost and died!
What he did, even at the cost of his life, ultimately failed.
Death Chess, still no loss!
At this moment, both Kuzuryuu Yaichi and Sora Ginko had made a decision: to strive to improve themselves and then challenge Death Shogi, even if the final outcome was death!
"Excuse me!" After leading Fang Yan into the room, Toyama Ginjiro introduced him to the group, saying, "This is Mr. Fang Yan, a special advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department, who specializes in resolving such issues!"
His words caused Kiyotaki Keika, Sora Ginko, and Kuzuryu Yaichi to look at him with suspicion. Special advisor, the one who solves strange incidents?
But why is he so young?
Of course, they wouldn't question it without reason. After all, even a grassroots dragon king like Kuzuryuu Yaichi had appeared, so it wasn't hard to understand why a "master" of similar age to them would emerge.
This is someone personally brought by Ginjiro Toyama. It's impossible that the Metropolitan Police Department was fooled by him, right?
