Crossing the Sword

Another guard came forward and took away the bowl, and began to count the number of beans in groups of four with a wooden stick. At this time, Susano's heart immediately sank, because when the bowl was opened, he knew that he had lost. The number of beans was exactly the same as Ye Shisan said, fifty-two!

Ye Shisan's knock just now not only attacked Susanoo with sound waves, but also shook the two beans that were originally on the surface into the bowl.

In the second round, Ye Shisan successfully won back a game. The guards took away the beans and bowls and replaced them with two dice cups, each with six dice, and sent them to the two. There were no clear rules for this round. Ye Shisan glanced at it casually and asked Susano, "What do you think?"

Susano said firmly, "Be smaller!"

Compare to smaller! Susano actually asked to compare to smaller! His decision shocked many people present. It was already difficult to shake all the dice to one point. But Ye Shisan was able to be ingenious and shake out a "pillar supporting the sky", which was something that many gamblers had never even thought of. And Susano knew Ye Shisan's ability, but he still wanted to compare to smaller dice with him. Was he crazy?

But Ye Shisan became concerned when he heard his choice. Susano knew that he could shake out a Pillar of Heaven, but he still insisted on beating him. Although it was much more difficult to shake out a Pillar of Heaven with six dice than with three dice, Susano didn't need to take the risk. Since he really chose this, it meant that he was sure to win against Ye Shisan's Pillar of Heaven!

"Is he also sure that he can use six dice to shake out the Pillar of Heaven, or does he have another way to win?" Although Ye Shisan was puzzled, he still answered very straightforwardly: "Do you want to challenge my Pillar of Heaven? Okay, I want to see why you are so sure, please!"

"You will know soon." Susano said arrogantly, picked up the dice cup, and with a "swish!", he put all six dice into the dice cup. He stared at Ye Shisan and began to shake it.

Ye Shisan did not delay, he picked up the dice cup with his right hand, tapped the table with his left hand, and shook all six dice flying. He swept the dice cup with his right hand and collected all six dice. His performance was much cooler than Susano's, and some of the onlookers couldn't help but cheer.

Most of the people who came this time wanted to see Ye Shisan's style, so they put the dice in the third game as the finale. But they didn't expect the first two games to be so exciting, and they could be described as thrilling. In their opinion, the two were no longer gambling, because gambling in the hands of Zhang Tianya and Susano had been completely turned into an art. Yes, it was an art, an art with victory and defeat!

Rolling the dice is the simplest of the three games. And this simplest one is also the one that requires the most skills. Whether you can turn the ordinary into the magical is the highest realm of gambling. Everyone held their breath, and their focused expressions were not any less than the two people competing on the field. They all wanted to see what means Susano would use to deal with Ye Shisan's pillar of support this time.

There are only two people in the dice cup, and the sound of the dice shaking can also help the two people better control the dice. Because shaking the dice requires not only the control of the hand feeling, but also the use of ears to analyze the points of the dice. The two aspects complement each other to achieve the best effect.

After shaking for a while, Susano's movements suddenly increased slightly, and the sound of the dice colliding became a little louder than before. It was this slightly louder volume that completely covered up the sound of Ye Shisan's dice.

Ye Shisan's mind moved, and he immediately understood Susano's trick. His right hand, which was shaking the dice, immediately let go of the dice cup, leaving only his index and middle fingers on the dice cup. With a slight shake of his fingers, the dice cup also rolled up and down, no longer shaking left and right like before, but rolling up and down.

Susano frowned, because he could no longer grasp the changes in the dice in Ye Shisan's dice cup. The sound from Ye Shisan's dice cup was different from the normal dice shaking, and became chaotic. He had practiced how to listen to the normal left and right shaking in the past, where had he seen this kind of up and down shaking?

But he also knew that now was not the time to get stuck in a rut, so he simply gave up and continued listening. After all, this round was not about listening to the dice, but about who got the smaller number. No matter how many tricks he played in the middle, it was useless, the final number determined everything!

"Snap!" Ye Shisan shook the dice first, put the dice cup on the table, smiled and nodded to the audience around him, appearing very confident.

Susano was not happy with Ye Shisan's behavior of stealing the limelight, and he snorted coldly and put the dice cup on the table. He said proudly: "What's the point of all those tricks? The final number is the key to victory or defeat. Don't you want to know why I challenge your pillar of support? I call this 'cutting the grass and eradicating the roots', you watch carefully."

Susano said as he took away the dice cup, revealing a number of points that was very similar to Ye Shisan's "One Pillar to the Sky", where the dice also fell together, with the top number being one. However, there was also a big difference, because his "Cut the Grass and Roots" only had five dice falling together, and the remaining one was broken into many small pieces scattered around.

Feeling the surprised eyes around him, Susano said proudly: "This round must be decided by the winner. If both of you have one point, we should look at the number below." As he said this, he took the first dice off the top and put it aside, revealing that the dice below also had one point. After taking away four dice in a row, the fifth one was revealed. He said with a humble attitude: "I have five points, even if you also have one point, you still have one more point than me. So, you lose."

Ye Shisan was stunned and said, "No way, this is possible? The dice are broken, does this still count?"

Susano immediately retorted: "We agreed to compete in gambling skills, so of course this counts." After that, he turned to the Black Emperor, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please understand."

The Black Emperor nodded calmly and said, "If we're comparing gambling skills, we should use arithmetic. Ye Shisan, it's your turn."

At this time, even Ling Fei was a little nervous. He had heard that it was a competition for juniors, and although he had guessed that Susano must have something to hold, he still had full confidence in Ye Shisan. But seeing Ye Shisan's surprised expression just now, he immediately changed his mind, and then listened to the words of the Black Emperor. He could only shake his head and think: "Fortunately, there are still two more competitions, there is still a chance."

Ye Shisan suddenly laughed at this time, and his laughter made Susano feel a little uneasy. He said calmly: "Well, I'm going to open it. But you guessed wrong before, I didn't shake the pillar, but..." Then he took away the dice cup, revealing a pile of powder inside, and said: "Fly to ashes and annihilate!"

A gust of breeze blew by, dispersing the powder without a trace, and it was completely reduced to ashes.
