Chapter 659: You Are Down on Your Luck

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Young Xiao Wu focused his ears and listened carefully as the dealer picked up the dice cup and started shaking it. Anyone attentive could see Young Xiao Wu’s ear trembling slightly.

Young Xiao Wu’s training didn’t go to waste. He listened very carefully and could pinpoint the number on the dice whenever it hit the interior of the dice cup. Young Xiao Wu let out a smile. He knew the game was in the bag.

However, his smile froze before long.

Another sound mingled with the sound of the dice. It was a very sharp whistle, so sharp that it hurt his ears. It collided with the sound of the dice and engulfed it.

He could hear almost nothing except the high frequency after a while. It seemed adamant on piercing through Young Xiao Wu’s eardrums! He wanted to stuff both his ears with his fingers to stop it from entering!

The whistle was from Ling Yun using the Mystical Dragon Howl. He was now at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Eight. The sound from the Mystical Dragon Howl could even be considered the elementary stages of Astral Sonar.

Astral Sonar was an incredible skill. It had no form and could penetrate anything. If the cultivator’s realm was high enough, he could potentially kill a lower realm cultivator with just his voice.

Ling Yun was mercifully and only used the Astral Sonar to interfere with Young Xiao Wu’s hearing.

Young Xiao Wu was on the receiving end of Ling Yun’s attack while everyone was jesting at the pea-brained Ling Yun. It was a miracle that his eardrums didn’t burst.

The dealer stopped shaking the dice cup and placed it on the table right when Young Xiao Wu finally decided to stuff his finger into his ears.

The next step was to bet if the total of the dice was big or small.

Ling Yun looking around with a grin on his face. Young Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was still unable to get rid of the needle-like pain in his ears. He didn’t even hear the dealer asking him to place his bet.

Ling Yun knew instantly that the points on the three dice were three, four, and six through his divine sense. It was thirteen, which was considered big. He placed his left hand gently on the table and waited for Young Xiao Wu to place his bet.

What chuck-a-luck? Ling Yun could see everything, even if he only used his Yin-Yang Eye.

However, Young Xiao Wu could have made a wild guess and placed his bet on big. He had a fifty-fifty chance of winning. This chance plummeted to zero once Ling Yun placed his bet.

Not only could Ling Yun break the marble coffee table with a slam of his hand, but he could also change the dice on the table with the slight vibrations from his hand. It would be big when he wanted it to be big and small when he wanted it to be small. It was all too easy for him.

Young Xiao Wu had lost the battle even before it began.

“Sir, please place your bet...”

“Sir, please place your bet...”

“Sir, please place your bet...”

The dealer pressed Young Xiao Wu numerous times, but he was sitting there stupidly, motionless. His face was ghastly, and his forehead was full of sweat. His thin body had also started to shiver.

He was scared and anxious.

Nobody’s words could reach him. His ears seemed to be deaf all of a sudden.

“What happened to Xiao Wu? Why isn’t he placing his bet, and why is he so quiet?”

The flirtatious woman noticed something wrong with Xiao Wu. It was silent when the dealer was shaking the dice cup. Xiao Wu would definitely win, why wasn’t he moving?

Ling Yun smirked at Xiao Wu. “I’ll give you a chance since you were here for a challenge. Place your bet first so that people won’t say I’m bullying you...” Ling Yun offered generously.

There was only one result in the dice cup. A person’s hand couldn’t touch the board again once it had left. The gambling masters would place their bets first once they ascertained the result through the sound of the dice, and they were usually guaranteed a win. That was because the other party usually wouldn’t follow suit. It wouldn’t be called a face-off then.

Xiao Wu couldn’t hear what Ling Yun said either. He only realized that everyone had been waiting for him to place his bet for a long time when someone patted him on his shoulder.

Xiao Wu knew the rules of the casino like the back of his hand. The time between the shaking of the dice cup and the bet couldn’t be too long. He deduced that Ling Yun was asking him to go first from his expression. However, he could only trust his luck now.

To gambling masters, training was so that they didn’t have to rely on luck. Its sole purpose was to practice and increase the odds to the maximum. Young Xiao Wu could now only rely on the one thing he didn’t want. It wasn’t hard to figure out what he was going through now.

Ling Yun didn’t bother with him, turning his attention to the flirtatious woman. “Beautiful, look, he doesn’t dare to place his bet...”

The other gambling masters were all dumbstruck.

“Xiao Wu, what happened to you? Say something!” The Flirtatious woman patted his shoulder urgently.

Young Xiao Wu’s hearing slowly came back to him. The sound of people speaking was the same as mosquitoes buzzing around now. “The sound was too loud just now. I-I didn’t hear anything!” he declared.

Everyone’s hands went to their ears immediately, protecting them from Young Xiao Wu’s shout.

That was human. One would subconsciously think that everyone was the same as them. Since Xiao Wu couldn’t hear, he raised his voice to the volume he could hear, which was equivalent to him shouting.

“F*ck, are you mad!” A person was angered by Young Xiao Wu’s shout.

Loud? When?

There was only the sound of the dice shaking in the dice cup just now!

The other four witty gambling masters knew by now that there was a plot against Xiao Wu. Unfortunately, they didn’t know what really happened and could only exchange bewildered glances.

Ling Yun smiled. “Everyone’s the same. I didn’t hear anything... I didn’t even look at the dice cup. Chuck-a-luck is purely based on luck, isn’t it? Everyone has a fifty-fifty chance. Place your bet now, I can’t wait...”

Ling Yun obtained an unfair advantage and wanted to see the results.

Young Xiao Wu had taken too long, so he could only place his bet. He couldn’t possibly lose his master’s face, even if he were to lose money at the table.

Young Xiao Wu hesitated. He was betting on his luck — two hundred million yuan on small. Unfortunately, he was down on his luck.

“You’re betting on small? Well, since you’re betting on small, I can only bet on big...

“Isn’t gambling based on luck? Why did you need to hesitate for so long... How dare you disturb Green Dragon’s turf when you only have that much kick in you...”

Ling Yun jeered at him and threw his two hundred million worth of chips onto the table.

Nervous eyes were all on the dice cup, waiting for the moment when the dealer revealed the unshakable truth. Was it big or small? Who won?

“Three, four, six. Thirteen points. Big!” The dealer announced the results in a shaky voice!

Thunderous cheers and applause! The spirits of everyone from the Green Dragon Sect were uplifted. Gong Hongguang closed his eyes and thanked his ancestors for blessing him. He would have fainted in happiness if it wasn’t for his brothers supporting his back.

Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng smiled at each other. They knew this would happen from the start. “Abing, what are you worried about? You have to quickly get used to this type of situation. This is normal when you follow Big Brother Yun...” Tang Meng told the nervous Abing.

Tang Meng seemed to have completely forgotten how he acted when Ling Yun was at the stone gambling event.

Ling Yun won big. He smiled happily and stood, scooping up the four hundred million in chips from the table. He stacked them on top of the four remaining chips he had. The sound was crisp. “Sorry, you seem to be down on your luck...” he told Young Xiao Wu.

“Beautiful, look, I also have eight hundred million yuan now. This two hundred million yuan was such an easy win!” Ling Yun turned towards the flirtatious woman, who wore an ugly expression now.

“I told you to get some more chips just now, but you didn’t believe me. You have to go get more chips now!”

The crisp sound of stacking chips on top of each other was so sweet! Such a nice slap on the face for the five gambling masters!

Young Xiao Wu was struck by lightning. His face became strangely pale after his huge shock and utter defeat. His hearing, however, was almost recovered. He could now hear what Ling Yun said clearly.

Young Xiao Wu grabbed the sides of the table, shaking as he stood up. He looked at Ling Yun for a long while. “I admit defeat!” he announced grudgingly
