Chapter 320: Where Are the Dice?

Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Where Are the Dice?

The five people in the box, except for Shi Hao, were all dumbfounded.

What did they see?

When the dice cup was lifted, there was only one intact red die left, along with a pile of dice fragments that had turned to powder.

Hiss!

The red die was Shi Hao’s, and although it had rolled the lowest value of "one", he had won this gambling duel.

——Shi Quan’s dice were gone, how could they compare?

Shi Quan could not accept it. He had clearly protected his three dice very well, so where were his dice now?

Turned into powder?

That’s not right, the amount here could at most be from two dice, not five!

So, his three dice disappeared out of thin air?

How is that possible?

No one touched them with their hands, so why did they disappear?

Spatial Spirit Tool?

That’s even less likely, with a cup separating them, who could collect objects through a barrier?

He himself couldn’t do it, and he could even assert that not even the Self-Observation masters, let alone the Founding King Court powerhouses, could accomplish it.

If Shi Hao could do it, then he would be even more formidable than the Founding King Court almighty.

In that case, losing to such a supreme powerhouse, he definitely wouldn’t be wronged.

For a moment, Shi Quan was plunged into a bewildered state.

"We won!" Han Dong clenched his fist tightly, letting out a low roar, venting the tension within his heart.

After all, the opponent was Shi Quan, the "perfect in every aspect" from the Shi Family!

Shi Shaofeng’s face was full of disbelief. They had even invited Shi Quan himself and still couldn’t beat Shi Hao?

Wait, does he have to run naked around the city now?

No!

Although he had lost face a few days ago, it was only limited to a small gambling house, but now he would have to run naked through the entire city — he wouldn’t be able to show his face at the doorstep ever again.

He looked at Shi Quan with an accusing gaze. It was this guy who insisted on showing off, staking himself as well, and what was the result?

Of course, he definitely didn’t dare to say it out loud, and besides, Shi Quan had also staked a hand, presumably even more anxious than himself.

No matter, he would just watch patiently.

Shi Hao stretched out his hand and took back the Liuren Tiger Bone; it was the ferocious beast Liuren Tiger’s bone from Self-Observation. If boiled into a medicinal paste, it would have excellent effects on recovering from injuries.

"You, it’s time for your naked run," he pointed at Shi Shaofeng, then turned to Shi Quan, "Are you going to cut off your own hand, or shall I help you?"

Shi Quan finally came back to his senses. He held out his right hand: "I’m stretching out my hand, do you dare to chop—"

Thump!

The word was not even fully uttered when a flash of cold light appeared, and Shi Hao had already taken out Ninefold Mountain, chopping down towards Shi Quan’s right wrist.

This strike was incredibly fast. Although Shi Quan was from the Five Islands and possessed a certain level of power to fight above his level, he had not anticipated that Shi Hao would attack, nor had he expected Shi Hao’s strength to be even greater than his own!

As a result, when the chop came down, he truly had no reaction at all.

It wasn’t until his severed hand fell to the ground and pain surged through him that Shi Quan realized his hand had been chopped off.

"You—" he pointed at Shi Hao furiously, his hair standing on end as if exploding towards the sky, his face flushed red with extreme anger.

Han Dong had not expected Shi Hao to act so decisively and directly, with such astonishing aggression.

He really liked this style, but the person across from him was Shi Quan!

The consequences were too severe.

But Shi Hao acted too quickly; there was no time even to give a word of warning.

At this point, all he could say was, "Shi Quan, aren’t you going to hurry up and take your hand back? If you’re lucky, it might still successfully reattach!"

Reminded by this, Shi Quan hurriedly suppressed his rage. For such a severed hand, the quicker the reattachment, the better. The less time wasted, the better the recovery would be after reattaching it.

However, no matter what, the hand would never regain its original flexibility.

He was filled with hatred.

He was a prodigy of the Shi Family, and such a severe blow would certainly impact the limits of his potential future achievements, including the limit of his combat power.

He couldn’t possibly swallow this affront, but for now, he should reattach his severed hand first.

Thump, he directly shattered a window to leave, even saving the time it would take to walk through the main gate.

Shi Hao didn’t stop him and instead leisurely turned his gaze to Shi Shaofeng.

"I’m stripping! I’m stripping!" Caught by Shi Hao’s gaze, Shi Shaofeng felt a chill pervading his whole body and hurriedly began to strip, not wanting to have his wrist chopped off by Shi Hao.

After all, this guy would chop off Shi Quan’s hand without a second thought, let alone his own.

Seeing Shi Shaofeng’s resentful look, the corner of Shi Hao’s mouth twitched slightly as if he was a ruffian forcing a young maiden.

Han Dong was oblivious to subtlety as he laughed, "Strip faster, it’s not as if we haven’t seen it all before. What’s there to be shy about?"

Shi Shaofeng felt the ultimate humiliation. Just a few days ago, he had been stripped to his underwear, and now he was forced to strip completely bare and streak across the city. How could he bear this?

But thinking of Shi Quan’s fate, he decisively sped up the process.

Streaking was better than having a hand chopped off.

He stripped bare and then, with the determination of a man facing death, dashed out with bold strides.

"Boss, I just thought of a phrase, ’hanged and left dangling,’" Han Dong laughed heartily.

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "Are you sure he’s cut out for dangling?"

Recalling Shi Shaofeng’s particularly small ’assets’, which required close inspection to even notice, Han Dong burst into belly laughter, "Indeed, he can’t quite manage to dangle."

"Let’s go," Shi Hao walked ahead.

"Yes," Han Dong followed closely, having made up his mind to follow in Shi Hao’s footsteps for the rest of his life.

...

News of the two young masters of the Shi Family—one with a severed hand and the other streaking through the city—was too explosive to be contained and instantly spread throughout the whole city.

Everyone was talking about it, animated and excited.

It was impossible to ignore, for what status did the Shi Family hold?

One of the four great noble houses, they were like emperors, could command someone to live or die, lofty and beyond reach.

But now?

It was as if they had fallen from the clouds into the mud overnight, and people suddenly realized that members of the Shi Family were not so different from them after all; they, too, could get hurt, and their ’assets’ down there weren’t any larger—in fact, they were pitifully small.

Even though it was the third generation of the Shi Family that was injured and humiliated, any challenge to such a massive entity as the Shi Family was unacceptable. A storm was brewing.

Shi Family.

Shi Taiyan was playing chess, but not with an opponent; he was playing against himself.

Every move required long deliberation, and the pieces were placed very slowly.

Playing chess against oneself is actually the hardest kind; the "opponent’s" intentions are completely understood, making it exceedingly difficult for either side to win.

This was a practice of Heart Cultivation Technique, related to the Cultivation Technique he was practicing.

"Young Master Yan, the Head of the Family wishes for you to take action and behead the madman," a servant stood by, speaking respectfully.

Shi Taiyan, without lifting his head, said, "Other than Han Feihuo, there’s someone in the Han Family who can injure Shi Quan?"

"This person is named Shi Hao; reportedly, he’s a descendant of an old friend of Han Liren," the servant replied.

Finally, Shi Taiyan set down the chess piece and said, "Very well, then I shall make a move."
