Crossing the Sword

Ye Shisan lost the first written test. But he did not feel any pressure or negative emotions. Now he is more confident than ever before in the next competition. Because he knows that he lost the first game because he did not expect Susano to be proficient in magic gambling. He will never make the same mistake again!

When the Black Emperor saw the result, he immediately instructed the Spiritual Officer to announce the answer. The Spiritual Officer took the order and announced: "The first round, the Mahjong competition, the winner is Susano. Now we will start the second written test, counting beans, the competition begins now!"

As a spectator, Xue Jia was obviously a little worried for Ye Shisan: "Shisan has already lost a game. The situation is not optimistic now."

Ling Fei, who was sitting next to him, showed a confident smile and analyzed: "We can't just look at the surface of things. Although Ye Shisan just lost a game. But look at his expression now, how can he look like he has lost a game? Although the situation is not optimistic, he is very optimistic. I believe he must have reasons to be optimistic. Let's wait and see."

This competition is about counting beans. As the name suggests, the rules are that two guards assist, one pours a large plate of beans onto the table. The other takes a bowl and before the beans are all poured out, puts the bowl on the still jumping beans, then clears all the beans outside the bowl, and the two people bet on the number of beans. Of course, not all the beans. When the bowl is opened, the beans will be divided into groups of four, and the two people will bet on the remainder of the last group, from one to four, four choices.

The difficulty of this round is that the beans will jump when the bowl is put down, which requires not only extremely good eyesight, but also the calculation ability required is higher than the first round of mahjong. Because at the moment the bowl is put down, the bowl will block the sight of the two people. In this moment, it is very likely that two jumping beans will collide with each other, and one will be knocked out of the bowl. There is also a chance that the beans outside will jump into the bowl. Any lack of calculation ability will be the key to victory or defeat.

Two guards came up, holding a bean plate and a bowl respectively, and stood on both sides of the table. After the Lingguan announced the start, the one with the bean plate immediately began to pour beans onto the table. His movements were not very fast, but he was able to maintain a steady speed and control the rhythm very well. This shows that this guard also has a certain level of attainment in martial arts, but it is also understandable that a guard who can be by the side of the Black Emperor, how could he be mediocre?

The two of them stared at the beans closely, but Susano showed a sneer on his face. Just as Ye Shisan expected, the illusion appeared again. The beans in his eyes did not change much. The beans were still beans, but every bean's jump appeared in slow motion, and left a series of afterimages. In this way, Ye Shisan's judgment would be greatly affected.

Ye Shisan had guessed that he would have this move, but he didn't expect it to be more sophisticated than the last time. However, he was well prepared and naturally had a way to deal with it. He quickly made a few seals with his hands: "Xuanbing awakens the mind, removes obstacles and breaks illusions." Then he made the Sun Wheel Seal with his hands and stopped: "Awaken the mind Xuanchen!" Then he immediately changed to the Fearless Seal: "Xuanchen protects the body, Baixie is not invaded!"

A gram of ice beads rose from Ye Shisan's fingertips, exploded above his head, and formed a transparent mysterious ice shield to protect himself. With this ice shield, even if Susano's illusion was twice as strong, it would not affect him at all!

Ye Shisan looked at Susano provocatively, put his hands back on the table, and returned his gaze to the jumping beans, continuing to pay attention to them.

When the Black Emperor saw this scene, his eyes turned cold and he said to himself, "Humph, Awakening Mysterious Dust? This is clearly Gonggong's unique secret technique. It seems that Ye Shisan has a special relationship with Gonggong. Humph, if that's the case, I can't let you go! Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for having to get involved with Gonggong and falling into my hands."

But of course no one else heard these words. As one of the strongest men in the world, the Black Emperor had countless ways to do this. In fact, he did not show his unfriendly look. Under normal circumstances, Ye Shisan would naturally find it. But at this moment, Ye Shisan put all his energy on the beans, so he naturally missed the opportunity to realize the danger.

At this time, Susanoo knew that the illusion could no longer affect Ye Shisan, so he changed his mind and concentrated all his energy on the beans, intending to fight Ye Shisan with his real skills.

When two-thirds of the beans had been poured out, the guard holding the bowl finally started to move, and put the bowl down at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, Ye Shisan suddenly tapped the table with his right index finger. He tapped so lightly that, except for the two guards, no one further away could hear any sound.

However, this gentle sound was like a thunderclap in Susano's ears, which made his head buzz and almost dizzy. When he woke up, the bowl was already on the table.

Ye Shisan used a very orthodox sonic attack, which he improved based on the principle of the lion's roar. He saw that the sonic attack of the lion's roar was very unique and refreshing. However, the only drawback was that the throat-breaking roar was really unmannerly. So he put in a lot of thought and improved it to be more casual. Although it is not as powerful as the original lion's roar, it makes up for this deficiency in flexibility. You can attack at will with your hands and feet. You can do range attacks, or imitate the sound into a line to target a certain person. When he killed Yin Shou and his wife, he used this method to sheath his sword.

The guard holding the plate stopped pouring the beans, and the other quickly cleared the beans outside the bowl, leaving only a bowl and the beans in it on the table. After the guards stepped back, the spiritual officer announced that the two could be taken into custody.

Ye Shisan was beginning to regret it now. His divine eyes could completely ignore the obstruction of the bowl and directly see the number of beans in it. But at the beginning of the competition, he still unconsciously followed the calculation. This habit was formed when he was practicing gambling, and he still kept it until now. Once a habit is formed, it is not so easy to change it.

As Susano was affected by Ye Shisan's sound waves just now, he missed the last and most accurate time to judge. He could only rely on his previous memory to infer. He said with some melancholy: "It's three..." After a moment of confusion, he quickly changed his words: "No, it's two. I'm sure, it's two."

Ye Shisan sneered, "You can't even tell the difference between two and three. How stupid are you?" He paused and announced his answer, "There are fifty-two beans in the bowl, so the correct answer should be four!"
