The second round of the betting game begins.
First, Guan Yue and Little Red Girl play rock-paper-scissors to determine the order of picking the fifty Vermilion Jade pieces, which are randomly thrown by the host and numbered from one to fifty. The game proceeds in five rounds, with each player picking one piece per round. After five rounds, they will add up the numbers on their Vermilion Jade pieces and compare the totals; the higher total wins.
In the first round, Guan Yue wins the rock-paper-scissors. However, Little Red Fish immediately unleashes an intense fiery aura that disrupts the surrounding air completely. Seeing this, Guan Yue realizes that she has not practiced enough. She never considered using various Willpowers to influence a certain space.
The host begins throwing the Vermilion Jade pieces. Since they are uniformly manufactured with only a very small number on them, it is difficult to see during the throwing process. Additionally, due to Little Red Fish's interference and the host's rapid throwing speed, Guan Yue finds it quite challenging.
"Fight fire with fire," Gao Yuxin exclaims urgently. Guan Yue has the same idea. She quickly employs her Fire Elemental Will to counteract Little Red Fish's influence. However, it still cannot negate Little Red Fish's effect. As the host is about to throw all fifty Vermilion Jade pieces, Guan Yue has no choice but to grab one piece at random. Upon looking at it, she sees the number twelve. She places this Vermilion Jade piece on the table according to the competition rules.
Next, Little Red Fish picks her Vermilion Jade piece while Guan Yue attempts to obstruct and interfere. At this moment, Guan Yue realizes the difficulty of this competition. While trying to hinder her opponent, she also needs to observe the numbers on the Vermilion Jade pieces; for those with higher numbers, she must find ways to prevent her opponent from obtaining them. It truly requires multitasking.
As the host starts throwing the Vermilion Jade pieces, Guan Yue immediately senses golden waves of light emanating from Little Red Fish's body. When Guan Yue tries to use her Fire Elemental Will to influence her, it is completely cleared away by Little Red Fish's light waves. Little Red Fish cleanly picks up a piece with the number forty.
After two consecutive losses, Guan Yue is astonished to realize that Little Red Fish is similar to Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui; in terms of single Willpower, she cannot compete against them.
In the second round, Little Red Fish wins rock-paper-scissors and goes first to pick a Vermilion Jade piece.
For Little Red Fish's defensive measures this time, Guan Yue responds by using Water and Metal Willpowers. She uses Water's Will to ablate Fire Elemental Will and employs Metal Willpower to dominate the space between them, completely driving away Little Red Fish's influence.
At this moment, Little Red Fish's expression changes; she did not expect that after just one round, Guan Yue would come up with a countermeasure against her. This Guan Tian is truly formidable.
She quickly regroups and uses heat recovery techniques. For all fire-using Disciples, heat recovery is a fundamental skill. Just like Guan Yue can use Nine Pulse Will to recover Nine Types of Will.
However, Little Red Fish's rapid heat recovery creates turbulence that disrupts Guan Yue's line of sight. She can now preliminarily confirm that Guan Yue possesses some form of perception ability because as long as he has a moment to observe, he can obtain the correct number. Meanwhile, Little Red Fish can only determine the number when she sees it directly. The gap between them is astonishing.
Little Red Fish knows that in terms of ability alone, Guan Yue is more suited to be a Gambling Queen. But Little Red Fish is also someone who never admits defeat—perhaps even more so than Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui.
If she can defeat Guan Yue, it will give her a greater sense of accomplishment!
She is determined.
Once her resolve is set, her fire-based Willpower begins to exert itself fully; an overwhelming heat spreads between Guan Yue and Little Red Fish, along with a Mental Attack that starts targeting Guan Yue's mind and heart.
Guan Yue understood that since there were no restrictions set for the gambling competition, Little Red Fish's actions were not considered a violation. Each could rely on their own abilities, as long as she did not use weapons, any other actions were permissible.
Of course, this also provided an opportunity for Guan Yue.
Thus, Guan Yue sat at the gambling table and activated her Composite Domain!
Once Guan Yue unleashed her Composite Domain, the senior students immediately sensed something unusual. Both Fang Bulian and Lu Ziang, two Great Powers of the Eternal Realm, felt the anomaly from Guan Yue.
In particular, Lu Ziang had a newfound respect for Guan Yue! The reason he agreed to participate in organizing this gambling competition was related to a mission he was currently undertaking—searching for the Mother of Heaven and Earth.
The search for the Mother of Heaven and Earth was one of the biggest secrets among the Southern Source Empire, Vast Empire, and Dawson Empire. Almost all the experts and Great Powers from the Three Kingdoms were involved. Many potential disciples with exceptional combat power were also drawn into it. This included students like Lu Ziang, who belonged to both the Wonderland and the Eternal Realm. At this level, guidance from their masters was minimal. They primarily relied on external experiences to enhance their cultivation.
The search for treasures was an important part of their external training. Therefore, when someone invited them, these students would wholeheartedly participate. Especially for something as significant as searching for the Mother of Heaven and Earth, they were even more eager to join.
The Mother of Heaven and Earth was originally a very distant legend.
According to legend, in ancient times, the Vast Empire, Dawson Empire, and Southern Source Empire were once a single dynasty—a very weak one. However, suddenly a remarkable figure named Xiao Wujie emerged. He rose to power, sweeping across the land, defeating all experts within thirty years and forcing both Southern Source and Dawson to declare independence, becoming new nations.
He was invincible in battle and became an immortal legend. Then he left the dynasty for greater realms. Later, he perished in a peak confrontation along with his opponent.
At that time, he possessed the Mother of Heaven and Earth! He once stated: whoever possesses the Mother of Heaven and Earth will be the ruler of the Southern Source Empire, Dawson Empire, and Vast Empire.
The Mother of Heaven and Earth consists of ten parts known as the Ten Children of Earth, which is one more than the nine sons of the dragon. They are: Golden Child, Wood Child, Water Child, Fire Child, Child of Earth, Wind Child, Thunder Child, Son of Sun, Shadow Child, and Child of the Earth.
Two years ago, one of these children, the Shadow Child, first appeared in the Dawson Empire, shocking all disciples in the Three Kingdoms. Subsequently, the Golden Child appeared in the Vast Empire, and recently, the Wood Child was discovered in the Southern Source Empire.
This truly drew significant attention from all disciples in the Three Kingdoms.
Thus, they began a full-scale search for the Children of Heaven and Earth.
Lu Ziang felt proud to be invited to participate in this endeavor. He needed assistance, especially from those who were particularly sensitive to their surroundings or possessed special abilities to help him find the Children of Earth. Now he had developed an interest in Guan Yue. He vaguely sensed that she might have some form of perceptive ability.
This conclusion came after he consistently tracked her actions with unwavering focus. Of course, there was no need for him to publicize this; however, he had already recognized her abilities in his heart. Considering her past success in uncovering an Origin Tool and a celestial beast during a previous event called Gambling on Stones, he believed even more firmly that she was a fortunate disciple who should participate in this treasure hunt! Despite her cultivation being quite low!
The competition between Guan Yue and Little Red Fish continued. After completing her setup for the Composite Domain, Little Red Fish completely lost her advantage. When she unleashed her singular Fire Elemental Will with full force, her massive mental attack and overwhelming heat seemed to vanish without a trace as if they had sunk into oblivion.
Little Red Fish suddenly turned pale. She looked at Guan Yue in shock, not understanding what had happened that caused her attack, which exceeded Guan Yue's limits, to completely vanish. When she looked at Guan Yue again, it was as if she were looking at a monster. Her gaze exchanged a glance with Fire Red Girl, Hu Hui, but even Hu Hui couldn't figure out how Guan Yue had accomplished this.
Lu Ziang, as a Disciple of the Eternal Realm, had already noticed the problem. He could clearly sense that Little Red Fish had launched a fierce Mental Attack and Fire Elemental Will Attack against Guan Yue just now, but it had not achieved its purpose. Guan Yue seemed to have used some method to render Little Red Fish's attack ineffective! Now, Lu Ziang regarded Guan Yue with even more respect.
He silently resolved to make sure that this kid, Guan Yue, participated and helped him out.
Because now Guan Yue's Composite Domain had completely covered Little Red Fish, and Little Red Fish's actual Combat Power was not stronger than Guan Yue's. Therefore, Guan Yue had complete control over Little Red Fish. The outcome was predictable: Guan Yue won. Guan Yue captured forty-six points while Little Red Fish only captured thirty-two points.
In the third round of rock-paper-scissors, Guan Yue won.
Since Guan Yue did not cancel the Composite Domain, he also had absolute control over the situation in the third round. He captured forty-three points while Little Red Fish casually managed to capture thirty-six points due to good luck.
After three rounds, Guan Yue had a total of one hundred one points while Little Red Fish had one hundred eight points. Little Red Fish was still in the lead. At this point, Guan Yue decided to use Mental Cage on Little Red Fish to see what other tricks she could use to counter him.
In the fourth round of rock-paper-scissors, Guan Yue won.
When Guan Yue captured Vermilion Jade, he first attacked Little Red Fish. Now when Guan Yue used Mental Cage, it was very different from when he used it before. After all, Guan Yue was now a Guardian Realm Practitioner with hundreds of thousands of drops of Essence and had practiced various powerful martial arts and techniques. Therefore, when he implemented Mental Cage on Little Red Fish, her expression changed noticeably and rapidly. She believed that Guan Yue was being ruthless.
She truly could not understand how a Disciple at the Peak of the Human Realm could unleash such a powerful Mental Attack. As the Mental Cage gradually intensified, Little Red Fish finally couldn't sit still; her face flushed red and her body trembled in confusion. A bright red flower gradually opened above her head like a beautiful bud, exuding an enchanting fragrance. As this beautiful flower bloomed, a powerful suppression directed towards Guan Yue pressed down upon him.
What is this? How can it have such a strong suppressive effect?
