Seeing Jiang Chen win made Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi sick to their stomachs.
The Third Prince, on the other hand, was stunned.
’No way. Jiang Chen won?’
He couldn’t believe that Jiang Chen had won.
If he had been dealt Jiang Chen’s hand, he would have folded long ago.
He never expected Jiang Chen to see it through to the end and actually win.
A quick calculation showed that he had won at least a billion.
You could say it was a single hand that decided everything.
"Jiang the Military Advisor is truly a prodigy. Not only is he highly skilled, but he also has incredible luck at cards."
Huo Wu, standing behind him, saw everything and was filled with admiration for Jiang Chen.
From then on, Jiang Chen was a true dark horse at the table. He won four consecutive rounds in short order, and the chips in front of him piled up like a mountain. His winnings totaled no less than three or four billion.
In the end, both Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi had lost a considerable amount.
Even the three Martial Cultivators had lost so much they were on the verge of tears before finally leaving the table.
’What is going on? How is this kid’s luck so good?’
’This shouldn’t be happening.’
Wen Shixuan had been winning a little earlier, but faced with Jiang Chen’s overwhelming momentum, he had actually started to lose.
Not only did he lose everything he had won back, but he also lost a good portion of his own principal.
Only Wen Shixi was still managing to break even.
However, the few times he went up against Jiang Chen, he also lost miserably.
Table Seven had already gone through several groups of Martial Cultivators, each one leaving in tears.
Because of this, Table Seven caused a sensation throughout the entire gambling house.
"Did you hear? A dark horse showed up at Table Seven and has won a ton of money."
"Even the two princes from the Fire Sparrow Kingdom lost to him, and badly at that."
"Damn, let’s go see who this master is."
The crowd swarmed around Table Seven, surrounding it several layers deep.
They could only watch as Jiang Chen kept on winning.
Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi had lost so much they were growing restless.
Wen Shixuan stood up, about to leave.
Jiang Chen said coolly, "Crown Prince, you’re not just going to run away, are you?"
"You two were the ones who said you wanted me to play with you. Now that I am, you’re just leaving on your own. How boring."
Jiang Chen did a quick mental calculation. He had won nearly ten billion.
He had struck it rich.
He had finally found a chance to make a huge fortune.
Wen Shixuan’s face was ashen. He had already lost over two billion.
Even for someone as wealthy as him, he was starting to feel the strain.
He shot Jiang Chen a sinister look.
"Kid, you’re good."
"But don’t you go anywhere. I’ll be back in a bit to continue playing with you."
With that, he actually stood up and left.
Wen Shixi had also lost around a billion, and that was with his good luck.
But now, he too rose to his feet indignantly.
He gave Jiang Chen a look filled with killing intent.
"Jiang Chen, don’t be in a hurry. I’ll be right back too."
Jiang Chen continued to play at the table, taking advantage of his hot streak to rake in piles of money.
Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi left the table and found a secluded spot. Neither of them looked pleased.
Wen Shixuan said, "Second Brother, I never thought that kid Jiang Chen’s luck would be so good that we’d both lose to him."
"I wanted to teach him a lesson, but instead, we fell into his trap. I’ve already lost over two billion. If I keep losing, I’ll be a pauper. What should we do?"
Wen Shixi gritted his teeth. "Crown Prince, neither of us can beat that kid. Why don’t we ask Lord Ling Yun to come out and help us win against him?"
Hearing Wen Shixi’s words, Wen Shixuan was instantly overjoyed.
"I almost forgot you mentioned him! Lord Ling Yun is right here in the gambling house. He’s known as the Gambling King. If we can really get him to step in, I’m sure he’ll make Jiang Chen lose everything."
Without another word, the two of them immediately went to find the Gambling King, Ling Yun.
In a luxurious room in the gambling house, an old man with graying hair was reclining on a comfortable chaise lounge.
Several maids were waiting on him.
At the same time, the old man was listening to someone beside him say, "My lord, there’s a kid at Table Seven whose luck is simply unbeatable. He’s already won close to twenty billion."
"Now, no one dares to play against him."
The old man was taken aback. "Is that so?"
"Is that kid’s luck really so incredible?"
The attendant replied, "It is. We have the Holy Light, so it’s impossible for him to cheat. Therefore, I’m certain that the kid’s luck is simply invincible. He hasn’t lost once."
The old man frowned. "It seems I’ll have to meet him myself. Winning so much money in my establishment... how can I let him just walk away?"
Just then, an attendant reported, "My lord, the Crown Prince and Second Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom are outside seeking an audience."
The old man waved his hand dismissively. "I’m not seeing them. Tell them to leave."
But the attendant said, "They say it’s an urgent matter."
The old man finally nodded. "Fine, let them in. I’m curious to see what ’urgent matter’ they have."
Soon, Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi walked in.
As soon as they entered, they both cupped their fists in salute and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Ling Yun."
The old man, Ling Yun, glanced at them coolly and asked, "What is it?"
Although the two before him were princes of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, the old man didn’t necessarily feel obligated to show them any courtesy.
Wen Shixuan said hurriedly, "Lord Ling Yun, we’d like to ask you to step in and help us win against someone."
"We will reward you handsomely once it’s done."
Unexpectedly, Ling Yun was quite cold and said disdainfully, "You think it’s that easy to get me to act? Tell me, what will you reward me with? If you can’t offer something that tempts me, you’d best just leave quietly."
Wen Shixuan and Wen Shixi exchanged a look. They both knew the old man before them was a master of the Martial Arts Sect Seventh Heaven, and extremely powerful.
To convince him, they would indeed need to offer an extraordinary treasure.
An idea sparked in Wen Shixuan’s mind. He immediately promised, "Lord Ling Yun, surely you know of Mr. Changmao, the Vice President of the Alchemy Master Guild?"
Ling Yun’s interest was piqued, and he was somewhat surprised. "That’s right. That Chang Mao is one of the best among Third-Grade Alchemists. I know him."
"So what if I do?"
Seeing this, Wen Shixuan knew he had a chance. Since Ling Yun knew Chang Mao, he said, "Well, Mr. Changmao happens to be my master."
"If you are willing to help, I can get a Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill from my master for you—and a Gold Quality one at that."
He had dropped a bombshell.
He was confident the offer would move him.
He knew that Ling Yun’s Cultivation was at the Martial Arts Peak of the Seventh Heaven. He wanted to break through to the Martial Arts Sect Eighth Heaven, and he happened to be missing an elixir to help him do so.
And only his master, Mr. Changmao, could refine a Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill.
However, Chang Mao was a very proud man. For an ordinary person to obtain an elixir from him was next to impossible.
Hearing this, Ling Yun’s expression turned serious.
He naturally needed a Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill to break through in his Cultivation, but without a special connection, getting one of Chang Mao’s elixirs was incredibly difficult.
He was also extremely eager to get his hands on a Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill.
Most importantly, Chang Mao could refine Gold Quality Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pills.
As long as he obtained one Gold Quality Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill, he could smoothly break through to the Martial Arts Sect Eighth Heaven.
He grew excited. "For real? Can you really get a Third-Grade Foundation Strengthening Pill? I need a Gold Quality one. Anything less than Gold Quality is useless to me."
Wen Shixuan smiled. "But of course. Chang Mao is my master. Getting an elixir from him is as simple as asking."
"As long as you help me this time, everything is on the table."
Ling Yun was immediately delighted.
"Good! In that case, I’ll help you this time."
"I am known as the Gambling King. In all my years at the tables, I have never known defeat."
