Chapter 119: Tang Feng Returns in Triumph, Exchanging for New Skills (Part 1/2)

During their flight, a flight attendant recognized Tang Feng.

She was very happy!

Not only did she ask for an autograph, but she also wanted to take a photo with Tang Feng.

Tang Feng fulfilled each request.

The Go players from the Go Institute, seeing this scene, were green with envy!

However, they fully acknowledged Tang Feng’s treatment.

After all, Tang Feng was the fierce competitor who defeated Li Hao to win the championship at the Seven-Star Cup Go Championship!

Tang Feng winning the championship in his first international competition could be described as a meteoric rise to fame!

If Tang Feng can continue to win championships in future international competitions, it would indeed mean the Go world has entered the era of Tang Feng!

The days of Li Hao’s dominance in the Go world were gone!

Su Xiaoli, seeing Tang Feng so popular, felt especially happy.

She hoped Tang Feng could continue to excel!

She was willing to be the woman behind him!

“Tang Feng, you really didn’t disappoint me. Your Go skills are top-notch. Even Li Hao at his peak wouldn’t be your match. But don’t get complacent, because Li Hao will study your gameplay and might find a way to counter it,” Ma Qihua warned him.

“I know,” Tang Feng nodded, “He has always been in an unbeatable state. Such a state prevented him from improving himself. My emergence now can exactly ignite his fighting spirit.”

“Li Hao’s strength is still very strong. The strength he has shown even surpasses my own peak. I thought that within ten years, no one in China’s Go circle could contend with him, but then Professor Qiu Gang recommended you to me! It seems I owe him a meal after we get back,” Ma Qihua laughed.

This trip to Korea, although the performance of the four Go players from the Go Institute varied, Tang Feng’s championship was enough to make him proud.

Of course, it would have been better if the players could have swept the top three places.

“Director Ma, when is the next competition?” Tang Feng asked.

“Do you mean domestically or internationally?” Ma Qihua asked.

“Internationally. I won’t be participating in domestic Go competitions. I really don’t have that much time,” Tang Feng replied.

“If it’s an international competition, you’ll have to wait four months. The Xialan Cup Go Championship will be held in Jing District in four months,” Ma Qihua answered.

“Please remind me when the time comes,” Tang Feng said.

“Don’t worry! But if you have time on weekdays, you can come to the Go Institute to guide the other players,” Ma Qihua suggested.

“No problem!” Tang Feng agreed readily.

When the plane landed, Tang Feng and the others walked out of the airport.

At the airport exit, hundreds of Go fans had been waiting for a long time.

Dozens of media reporters were also eagerly waiting!

Everyone wanted to see the Go players from the Go Institute at the first opportunity, to be able to publish news on their own media platforms.

When Ma Qihua and the others came out, everyone’s gaze fell on Tang Feng!

The fans handed over wildflowers and various gifts to Tang Feng!

For a moment, Tang Feng couldn’t hold so many.

Su Xiaoli and others quickly helped.

Ma Qihua and the other players, seeing such a scene, were naturally filled with envy.

They also wanted to enjoy such treatment! Unfortunately, their skills were not as good, and they could only watch Tang Feng steal the spotlight!

At this moment, how they wished they were Tang Feng!

Then, these flowers and applause would all belong to them!

The media also blocked Tang Feng, bombarding him with questions.

Photographers were continuously taking photos.

Because he was prepared in advance, Tang Feng’s responses were impeccable.

When it was about time, Tang Feng and the others boarded the bus.

“Tang Feng, are you going back to the Go Institute or to school?” Ma Qihua asked.

“Back to school. These past few days in Korea, maybe because of the change in living environment, both Xiaoli and I didn’t sleep well. We’ll eat something and then go back to the dormitory to rest,” Tang Feng replied.

“I was thinking of celebrating for you, but since that’s the case, let’s do it another day,” Ma Qihua said.

“Alright! I’ll treat everyone to a meal next time!” Tang Feng laughed.

Soon, the bus stopped at the south gate of the school.

Tang Feng and Su Xiaoli said goodbye to Ma Qihua and the others, then got off the bus.

“Xiaoli, what do you want to eat?” Tang Feng asked.

“I had an apple and a bread on the plane, so I’m not very hungry. I just want to sleep now,” Su Xiaoli answered.

“How about I cuddle you to sleep?” Tang Feng half-jokingly asked.

“In your dreams!” Su Xiaoli gave him a look and said, “I just want to go back to the dormitory and sleep.”

“Do you have classes tomorrow morning?” Tang Feng asked.

“I think so. Why?” Su Xiaoli asked.

“I was thinking of taking you shopping. I got four hundred thousand US dollars this time, and I want to buy gifts for you and my family,” Tang Feng replied.

“Didn’t you just buy me something a few days ago? If you want to buy, just get something for Uncle Tang and the others,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“No way!” Tang Feng shook his head, “You’ve been with me for so long, I definitely have to show my appreciation. If you’re not free tomorrow morning, we can go in the afternoon.”

“I’ll see what class I have in the morning. If it’s not important, I’ll go with you,” Su Xiaoli agreed.

“Okay,” Tang Feng nodded.

Then, Tang Feng escorted Su Xiaoli to the front of her apartment.

And then he returned to his own dormitory.

“Xiaoli!” Ning Xiao and the others were studying. Hearing the door open, their gaze immediately shifted.

Su Xiaoli greeted them and then lay straight down on the bed.

“Have you eaten?” Guan Qian asked.

“I had a little on the plane,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“Xiaoli, we saw on TV that your Tang Feng won the championship! He’s too amazing! Even that Li Hao from Korea wasn’t his match!” Yu Li couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Honestly, I didn’t expect his Go skills to be so high. I was worried the whole time we were away for the competition. Luckily, he won the championship, or I wouldn’t know how to comfort him,” Su Xiaoli responded.

“He’s now a rising star in China’s Go circle! We were all so excited watching the news tonight, even though we don’t usually follow Go,” Ning Xiao said.

“Was there a prize for the competition?” Guan Qian asked.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoli nodded, “The championship prize was four hundred thousand US dollars.”

“My goodness! Four hundred thousand US dollars, which is almost three hundred twenty million in our currency! That’s another villa in hand!” Ning Xiao and the others’ eyes were filled with envy.
