Returning from the Immortal World

chapter-82
Jia Ruidao skillfully shuffled the cards. Then, he sent 3 dark cards to Tang Xiu and himself. Putting the remaining cards to the side, he continued explaining.
“After the dealer finishes dealing the cards, he will place it on the table in front of him. I have once heard that a Gambling Master shot at a card with his hand in the remaining cards pile lightning fast and took the card he needed. But his original card was left in the card’s pile. However, the gambler who could do this was definitely someone who has reached the God Gambler’s level. Such as the casinos in Las Vegas, there exists such God Gamblers.”
Suddenly, Jia Ruidao patted his forehead and spoke in a distressed tone, “Uh, I forgot the key point, that is, memorizing and calculating the cards. You must keep observe the dealer’s hands frequently. Follow his rhythm and remember them, figure out and calculate the card’s position, especially when the cards are cut, you must accurately point it out.”
Tang Xiu touched his three cards as per Jia Ruidao’s explanation. When he saw the card numbers, he suddenly frowned. As he saw that Jia Ruidao had just put the card stack down, he shot a card out lightning fast, and completely exchanged the cards in an instant.
“Was it replaced with a smaller card?”Tang Xiu secretly sighed.
He finally realized that not only must he look carefully at Jia Ruidao shuffling the cards, but he also had to memorize the cards’ face and position. Jia Ruidao seemed to have yet to realize that Tang Xiu had swapped his card, as he took another card and swapped it once again immediately.
“4 of Spades, 5 of Hearts, 6 of Hearts, a straight?” Tang Xiu opened the card, “And you?”
Jia Ruidao said with a smile, “Your luck is good, I…”
Whilst he was talking, his hand moved extremely fast to sweep the card stack in front of him. But almost in an instant, Tang Xiu promptly acted and accurately grabbed his wrist. Since it was Jia Ruidao’s playing hand, he failed to swap his card.
“You can never play the ‘fast hand’ in front of me.”
Jia Ruidao’s expression froze, he was dumbfounded. He glanced at Tang Xiu’s hand with a disbelieving expression. His mouth twitched as he revealed a bitter smile, “Holy Lord, it’s already unbelievable that your eyes can be that quick, but even your hands are fast to such a degree! I have very fast hands due to my talent and through decades of practice, but you…”Tang Xiu lightly replied, “I’m a martial artist. I have always been vigilant and alert toward my surroundings. My fists and palms are lightning fast. Unless the person is faster than me, I will easily find it if he were to cheat in front of me.”
Jia Ruidao was overjoyed, “Amazing! Brother Tang, I really have never thought that you were a martial artist. After teaching you and seeing you learn the skills today, I can finally feel at ease. Truthfully speaking, it’s a big loss for the gambling world since you don’t want to be a professional gambler. I can vouch that had you have the will to train in gambling techniques, it would only take you 3 to 5 years to be the most renowned Gambling Grandmaster.”
The Gambling Grandmaster?
Tang Xiu secretly turned supercilious inside. Had he had nothing to do, he could have fully given his all to become a Gambling Grandmaster. But, let alone having not the slightest interest in gambling, what he really wanted was to cultivate and enhance his strength, and then return back to the top in the Immortal World. He was racing against time and couldn’t afford to waste it.
