Chapter 116 - Charanko's Wavering Thoughts
“Phew, it’s my turn to be the dealer.”
King heaved a sigh of relief and tried to forget Bang’s action.
“No, I’ll continue to be the dealer.” Bang shook his head, smiling.
King frowned. “The rules clearly state that everyone takes turns to be the dealer.”
“That’s right. The rules clearly state that everyone takes turns to be the dealer. However, I admit defeat in the game where you were the dealer.” Bang grinned.
“You admit defeat?” King was stunned. It makes sense; if Bang surrendered on King’s turn, his next turn started immediately.
“Master, if you admit defeat, you still have to accept punishment according to the rules.” Charanko was also surprised that his master had admitted defeat. However, as the referee, he had to remind Bang to accept the punishment.
“Of course.” Bang smiled and took off two more socks.
What the hell?!
King was dumbfounded. This old bastard was actually wearing three pairs of socks. No, look at his bulging feet. God knows how many pairs of socks he wore. This old man came prepared!
Uh, hehe

Charanko watched his master with a wry smile. He pretended to not see it.
“Let us continue!” Bang continued to roll the dice.
Bang grabbed the shaker, returning the five dice inside. Light flashed in his eyes as he shook the shaker vigorously, even throwing it in the air. The crisp sound of dice colliding filled the dojo.
Bam!
Bang slammed the shaker again on the floor and took steps back.
“King, please guess.”
King had already given up on relying on his skills to predict the numbers.
“Fifteen!” He insisted on calling out the number fifteen.
Charanko immediately stepped forward and gently opened the cylinder, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.
The five dice lined up neatly on the floor, but one dice in the middle was tilted on its corner, leaning on the other dice like a coin standing on its sides. According to the rules, a dice in this position would not be counted. Thus, only four dice counted into the total.
Calculate!
Master was definitely scheming against King. He had deliberately slanted the dice to trick King’s perception. As expected of a master, his wisdom knows no bounds!
Uh, wait a moment. The remaining four numbers added up to

The numbers on the remaining dice were two, three, five, and six. In total, they were

Fifteen points!
King won again!
Charanko looked at the die on the floor in a shocked daze. King had seen through his master’s machinations and correctly guessed their numbers. This is truly a battle between experts of wits and skills!


Eh, I guessed it right again?
King stared at Bang with doubt. Is this old man throwing the game?
Bang frowned. King saw right through his trick. It seemed that King’s hearing was extremely sensitive; I need to test it further!
There are many forms of games in the dojo tradition—and naturally, Bang knew the trick to all of them.
“Master
.” Charanko awkwardly reminded his master to do the punishment.
“I got it.” Bang calmly took off two more socks.
“I admit defeat again.” He smiled and continued to take off two socks. Obviously, he was not giving King any chance to roll the dice.
King saw that there were still socks on Bang’s feet. This is beyond ridiculous. This old man was completely shameless.
Charanko turned his red face away from his master’s shameless behavior. He really could not watch anymore.
If Bang had any shame for his actions, he wasn’t showing it. He picked up the shaker and shook it. Once again, he slammed it on the floor and stepped back, smiling at King.
Continue to take the attack! King!
King had no choice but to casually say, “Fifteen!”
“Fifteen again?” Charanko looked at King in surprise.
King sneered, “Well, it’s about luck. It doesn’t matter which number it is.”
“Luck?” Bing carefully observed King. King had said luck as a shield every single time.
Charanko was stunned when he opened the shaker. One of the five dice had been obliterated—crushed into a powder.
It was another trick!
His heart was filled with amazement. King had accurately judged the movement of the dice with his superhuman hearing. And his master had destroyed precisely one dice through the shaking movement in an effort to disrupt King.
A master’s every move was full of meaning. Every step they took was a fierce battle, with no room for error.
King was also very surprised by Bang’s technique. This old man had a skill!
He would probably lose this game. It was impossible to rely on luck continuously against this kind of dice expert.
Charanko took a deep breath and forced down the excitement in his heart. He began to count the number of the dice. Two, three, four, six, added up

Fifteen points!
He turned to look at King in surprise. The title of the strongest man was not a joke. King could see through all his master’s tricks!
“The winner is
 King!”
“Eh? Wait a minute, I won again?” King looked at the remaining four dice on the floor in shock. “My luck
 No one else
.”
“Luck, it’s luck again. Are you really going to hide behind that excuse for 10,000 years!?” Bang’s face twitched. “Cut the crap; let’s continue!”
He pulled out his four socks and skipped King’s turn. He pushed the broken dice away, threw in a new one, and shook the shaker violently.
Blam!
He slammed the shaker to the floor again.
“King, it’s your turn.”
King felt embarrassed this time. He already guessed “15” thrice. Won’t the old man Bang change the number of the dice?
He frowned, not giving out a number for a while. Alas, he’s going to die.
Bang secretly smiled. King, I don’t think you can accurately determine the number on the dice this time; because I don’t even know myself. If I want to hide it from you, I have to hide it from myself first.
Charanko’s curiosity was piqued when he saw King went into deep thought. What trick did master use this time that King had such difficulty answering?
“Eighteen!”
I’m going to die, die, die
the word DIE consisted of the letter D, which is the 4th letter, I which is the 9th, and E which is the 5th. The total is 18!
King made up a forced reason for the number he picked.
After saying his guess, his thoughts drifted away. It didn’t matter even if he lost and had to take off a piece of clothing. He also had a lot of clothes on him, so there wouldn’t be a naked situation.
“Open!” Charanko opened the cylinder, and a few small stones rolled out.
He was stunned. Despicable. His master was too despicable. He even mixed stones into the cylinder when nobody was paying attention. The sound of the stones interfered with the dice, causing King to make a mistaken judgment.
He looked at Bang with astonishment. As expected of his master, Bang didn’t even flinch or blush after using such a despicable method!
Hey, wait a minute.
He trembled slightly when he counted the dice. Two, three, three, four, six. Together, it was
 eighteen. My God, it was eighteen. King was completely right!
Charanko looked at the calm and composed King in shock. King was clearly confident that he had everything under his control. Not even his master could surpass King.
The strongest man was indeed worthy of his reputation! His superhuman hearing was far beyond the rest of the world. Compared to King, I still have a long way to go.
