The entire second floor of the Immortal's Abode was dead silent.

More than a dozen pairs of eyes were nailed like spikes onto the cyan token on the gambling table and the young man in grey clothing.

The Azure Cloud Token!

For the vast majority of cultivators in Tianfeng City, this item only existed in legends. It represented not just a chance to enter the Azure Cloud Sect, but also a grand highway leading to a higher level of the cultivation world!

Now, this legendary token was actually being used as a bet.

And on the other side of the bet was merely one thousand Spirit Stones.

Although one thousand Spirit Stones was a huge sum for many, it was a joke compared to the Azure Cloud Token!

Everyone felt that Liang Feng had gone mad, and this grey-clothed kid who had appeared out of nowhere had also gone mad.

"Good! Good! Good!"

The Steward Wang, who had been smiling all along, now had much of his smile retracted. He took a deep look at Chen Chen, then at Liang Feng, whose eyes were bloodshot, and said "good" three times.

"Since Young Master Liang and this... honored guest have agreed to this wager, then our Immortal's Abode will bear witness."

He walked to the center of the gambling table and personally picked up the white jade dice cup.

"The rules of the wager are simple. I will shake the dice, and both honored guests can bet as they please. Whoever has the higher number wins."

Steward Wang's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"To ensure fairness, both of you can use your divine sense to probe at any time while I shake the dice. Our Immortal's Abode will never resort to any tricks."

His words silenced the restless crowd around them.

The reputation of the Immortal's Abode was well-known in Tianfeng City. Since Steward Wang himself was participating, it was impossible for any cheating to occur in this wager.

Liang Feng stared intently at the dice cup in Steward Wang's hand, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

He panted, his chest rising and falling violently. Clearly, he was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.

He had lost too much, and for too long.

This Azure Cloud Token was his last hope to turn things around, and his last shred of dignity.

He absolutely could not lose again!

"Kid, it's not too late to regret it now!" Liang Feng turned his head and glared fiercely at Chen Chen. "As long as you kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and hand over your thousand Spirit Stone chips, I can spare your life today!"

He was trying to use this method to cover up his own nervousness and fear.

Chen Chen didn't even lift an eyelid, merely uttering two words indifferently.

"Noisy."

"You!" Liang Feng was so angry he almost spat out blood.

When had he, the dignified young master of the Liang Family, ever endured such humiliation?

"Steward Wang! Stop the damn nonsense and shake it! Today, I'm going to make him lose until he doesn't even have his pants left!" Liang Feng roared.

"Alright."

Steward Wang nodded, his arm moved, and the dice cup in his hand began to make a crisp "clatter" sound.

His movements were neither fast nor slow, but carried a unique rhythm.

The three dice, made from demonic beast bones, tumbled, bounced, and collided within the dice cup.

For a moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

The two Third Level of Qi Condensation guards behind Liang Feng had extremely solemn expressions, their hands already on the hilts of their swords.

They knew that if their young master truly lost this Azure Cloud Token, the Family Head would skin them alive.

Liang Feng pushed his divine sense to its limit, shrouding the dice cup tightly, trying to capture any slight change in the dice within.

However, there seemed to be a strange power within the dice cup that blocked his probing, making it impossible for him to see the numbers inside.

He could only hear the increasingly rapid "clatter" sound, like a heavy hammer striking his heart, blow by blow.

Compared to his tension, Chen Chen appeared excessively calm.

He didn't even release his divine sense.

He simply stood there quietly, like an outsider.

But from a perspective others couldn't see, deep within his eyes, a strange blood-red hue and a faint glow were intertwining and flashing.

Eye of Asura, activate!

The moment the divine ability was activated, the white jade dice cup, which Steward Wang was shaking so dazzlingly, instantly became transparent in his eyes!

The trajectory of the three tumbling dice, the angles of their collisions, and the final numbers they landed on...

Everything was presented in his mind with utmost clarity.

"Four, five, six, fifteen points."

A definite number surfaced in Chen Chen's heart.

He could even see that if Steward Wang's wrist had twitched even slightly more, one of the dice would have rolled over, changing the score to fourteen.

This feeling is quite marvelous.

It's like... I've gained control over everything.

BANG!

Steward Wang's hand slammed heavily onto the gambling table, clamping down on the dice cup.

The rattling sound came to an abrupt halt.

You could hear a pin drop on the entire second floor.

"Place your bets," Steward Wang said in a deep voice.

"I'm betting it all!" Liang Feng almost shouted. He shoved the Azure Cloud Token forward fiercely and roared, "I bet big!"

His eyes were glazed over from gambling, and he wasn't considering any consequences.

In his mind, he'd already lost over a dozen rounds. According to luck, it was time for a big win!

This is the most pathetic logic of a gambler.

Everyone's gaze turned to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen maintained his indifferent expression and casually pushed the pile of Spirit Stones, worth a thousand, in front of him.

"I'll follow you."

He also bet big.

Everyone was stunned.

Follow him? What did that mean?

Did he also bet big? Wouldn't that be a tie?

Liang Feng was also taken aback, then burst into wild laughter. "Hahahaha! Kid, are you f*cking stupid? You bet big too? You want to tie with this Young Master? Let me tell you, no way! In Immortal's Abode, ties mean the house wins everything!"

He thought Chen Chen didn't understand the rules and was trying to find a loophole.

Steward Wang also frowned and reminded him, "Esteemed guest, if both of you bet big, or both bet small, then according to the rules, both of you lose. The stakes will belong to Immortal's Abode."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen finally looked up and glanced at Liang Feng. His gaze was as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Who said I bet big?"

He extended a finger and gently nudged his pile of chips towards the "small" area.

The chips landed on "small."

"I bet small."
