widely.

After eating a hearty lunch, the two resumed gambling. Lord Feng Ying chewed his lips with a nervous look on his face.

‘Why did I do that?’

Great Lord Feng Ying looked at Hu Tian-an with resentful eyes. As if he was fascinated by the sight of Ho Cheon-an smiling calmly and exuding strong confidence, he ordered Pung Yeong-dae to gather together the direct lineages who had memorized Dang Do-gyeong.

Anyway, the direct lineages who had lost their memorization were lingering in front of Gajujeon, so some or all of them gathered together, but that was it, but I couldn’t help but feel resentful of Ho Cheon-an.

Watching the week-long lecture from the sidelines, Grand Master Feng Ying was able to fully realize that Ho Cheon-an was not just a person who was good at gambling. From methods to theories that summarize the underlying principles. He had no choice but to admit that Ho Cheon-an, whom he called a ronin, was a great expert in gambling.

‘What was I thinking when I listened to the ronin’s request…! ‘I was too impatient.’

Thinking that there was some kind of secret plan in place, they gathered together the party’s direct officials with the feeling of grasping at straws, but even after hearing the news, Ho Cheon-an simply smiled and said hello, saying, ‘Thank you for granting me an unreasonable request.’

It was Dang Gwang-ryeol’s turn to hold the glass.

Lord Feng Ying felt gloomy. Dang Do-gyeong followed the dice well despite Dang Gwang-ryeol’s speed and speed control. While Dang Gwang-ryeol’s dice hit rate was 50 to 60 percent, Dang Do-kyung’s dice hit rate was 70 to 80 percent. Since Dang Gwang-ryeol’s memorization album was already half empty, the winner of this turn could be decided depending on how many memorization Dang Do-gyeong had.

however.

“This is my second glass.”

“Wrong.”

“This is the first glass.”

“No.”

“This is my second glass.”

Suddenly, Tang Dao-gyeong failed to see the dice three times in a row.

What a surprise.

Lord Feng Ying looked at Pan, unable to come to his senses due to the sudden turn of events. Dang Do-kyung’s face looked peaceful at first glance, but his forehead was already full of sweat.

‘when…?’

The flow passed to Dang Gwang-ryeol.

“The southeast wind has arrived.”

“What did you say?”

“Ah, I ended up talking to myself without thinking.”

In order not to interfere with the fight between the two, Ho Tian-an stepped back from a distance and called for Feng Yeong-daeju together.

“From now on, it’s a real game, so let the two of you focus.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol thought.

‘It’s the southeast wind…’

Although he couldn’t figure out exactly what Ho Cheon-an’s words meant, Dang Gwang-ryeol also sensed that the trend had changed.

‘It’s starting to come together.’

Dang Gwang-ryeol learned new things every day for a week. Every day, I learned new ways to plan with my head, follow with my eyes, and deceive with my hands.

Although his skills were great, he was still immature when it came to using them in actual combat.

In anything, you must have a minimum level of experience, and Dang Gwang-ryeol’s experience was gradually being filled at the gambling table with Dang Do-gyeong.

One by one, the gears that were spinning in vain begin to fall into place. Technology, theory, dexterity… the background is excellent, but things that were creaking and discordant rotate smoothly once the lubricant of experience is sprinkled on them.

Finally, ‘Gambler Dang Gwang-ryeol’, created by Ho Cheon-an’s mouth and hands and Dang Gwang-ryeol’s sweat and effort, began to return to its full form.

Dang Gwang-ryeol held the glass and defended it eight times, and was caught twice by the dice.

And while Tang Do-gyeong was holding the glass, he won six out of ten rounds.

‘It’s shaking.’

Tang Dao-gyeong continued to make changes to his techniques. Tang Tao-gyeong also feels it intuitively. If you do not successfully defend yourself while holding the glass, you are bound to lose.

‘Hehe, Do-kyung, you don’t have enough theories.’

Dang Gwang-ryeol looked at Dang Do-gyeong and remembered Ho Cheon-an’s words.

[At first, the head of the family thought that all he needed to do was improve his dexterity. However, even if you learn life-saving techniques without knowing when to use them, what good is it if you cannot identify opportunities to save your life?]

Tang Dao-gyeong learned Ho Cheon-an’s gambling by only following Ho Cheon-an’s hand techniques. Since then, he has supplemented his sense of gambling through practical experience with his direct lineages in the Tang family, but his wild sense alone was not able to overcome the systematic theory embedded in Tang Gwang-ryeol’s head.

‘If I were stubborn, I would have walked in Do-kyung’s shadow for the rest of my life.’

He held a grudge against Ho Cheon-an, thinking he had ruthlessly laid off the chestnuts just to assert his authority as a teacher, but Dang Gwang-ryeol acknowledged that Ho Cheon-an’s judgment was right as the war dragged on.

Dang Do-gyeong was several times superior to Dang Gwang-ryeol in his wild judgment about the flow of gambling.

As soon as he sensed that the tide was over, the sight of him throwing away his advantage and finding a way out in order to loosen the tightening noose was enough to make Dang Gwang-ryeol feel a chill on the back of his neck.

What if I had just gambled on my senses? Dang Gwang-ryeol did not have the confidence to attack Dang Do-gyeong, a young and energetic tiger. If I had suppressed Tang Dao Jing with my body instead of using a well-woven, loose net, I would have definitely missed it.

Half an hour passed.

Dang Do-gyeong and Dang Gwang-ryeol were still exchanging insults.

However, victory and defeat began to become clear. All of the numerous memorizations of Dang Do-gyeong were placed on Dang Gwang-ryeol, and there were seven memorizations left for Dang Do-gyeong.

Dang Gwang-ryeol is holding the glass.

Tang Do-gyeong suddenly closed his eyes. And I didn’t open my eyes until the glass stopped drinking. Dang Gwang-ryeol and Pung Yeong-daeju, who were watching, could not hide their tension.

This was because all seven memorizations were held in Tang Do-gyeong’s hands.

Originally, the number of memorizations to be memorized was free, but the two people only memorized one memorization, as if there was a rule that they had to memorize one memorization at a time. The result of the bet was the result, but today’s match was truly a match that determined the superiority of the two.

“Are you planning on competing?”

“Yes. The head of the family has better gambling skills than me.”

Tang Dao-gyeong tried to break through Tang Gwang-ryeol’s net by doing everything he could. When Dang Gwang-ryeol caught the cup, he tried to induce Dang Gwang-ryeol to get agitated by repeatedly placing large and small bets on heavenly luck. When he himself grabbed the cup, all the techniques he knew were basic. He even copied the techniques used by Dang Gwang-ryeol and used them on the spot. Eana.

Even though we tried every means possible, in the end we were unable to break through the net set by Tang Gwang-ryeol. With the net seemingly impenetrable, Dang Do-gyeong had no choice but to acknowledge Dang Gwang-ryeol’s superiority.

“But I can’t give up like this, so I have no choice but to try my luck.”

As Tang Do-gyeong’s eyes began to examine the three cups, Tang Gwang-ryeol also closed his eyes. I felt like I couldn’t handle the tension and would give Dang Do-kyung a clue as to which cup contained the dice.

It’s truly a game of luck. Even though he says he has a high chance of winning, the chance of Tang Do-kyung winning is also as high as one-third.

Dang Do-gyeong said that he had lost, but Dang Gwang-ryeol realized that this game was actually a close match. Dang Do-gyeong’s struggle did not tear the net, but he came close to tearing it.

‘If luck favors Do-kyung…’

Then, Dang Gwang-ryeol did not have the confidence to continue the current trend. What if a tiger that was barely trapped in a net tears the net and escapes? Dang Gwang-ryeol felt as if the two words of defeat were just around the corner.

Tang Guangryeol, Feng Yeongdao, and Ho Cheonan also paid attention to Tang Daojing’s choice. Luck is also a part of gambling. Can Tang Dao-gyeong really achieve good luck and set the stage for a reversal?

Since no one can predict luck, everyone in the party held their breath waiting for the leader’s choice.

Dang Do-gyeong’s final choice to tear open the net laid by Dang Gwang-ryeol.

widely.

Tang Gwang-ryeol spoke without opening his eyes.

“If you got it, open it.”

Tang Do-gyeong also opened the glass without saying a word. And then he quietly opened his mouth.

“I lost.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol opened his eyes. What Dang Do-gyeong chose was the first cup. There were no dice in that first glass. Dang Gwang-ryeol soothed his pounding heart and breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not let go of his tension.

“Isn’t there still one memorization album left in your arms?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

As expected, the head of the family. Have you even looked through the memorization book that was not released? Tang Do-gyeong thought about this and took out a large memorization book.

Tang Do-gyeong’s memorization book contained several memorizations. Among them, there was one that caught Dang Gwang-ryeol’s eye.

“Isn’t that the tuition fee?”

“Yes.”

Tang Dao-gyeong smiled and stroked Tu Qiao Fei.

“This was given to me by Ryeo. When I told him I was practicing cancer techniques again, he closed his eyes tightly and held it out to me. How could a brother reject such a child’s heart?”

“…I see.”

“This is what my father gave me. This is what my uncle gave me, and this is what Doyeon gave me. How can these items be put on the gambling table?”

“Hehe. Hehehe…”

Dang Gwang-ryeol closed his eyes from the overwhelming shame. How is Dang Do-gyeong’s attitude compared to himself, who even passed over the memorization of the head of the house, which he should not do as the head of the house. Ho Cheon-an was right.

“I was really addicted to the poison called gambling.”

Gwangryeol tried to shake off the rising shame and moved his hands.

A memorization album was placed in front of Tang Do-gyeong.

“This is..?”

“I give it to you. These are not exclusive memorization techniques for the head of the family, but they are advanced memorization techniques that you can fully practice.”

“How could a loser in gambling receive something like this?”

“No, no. This is a gift and apology from Dang Gwang-ryeol, the head of the Sacheon Dang family, to Dang Do-gyeong, the collateral of the Dang family.”

Dang Gwang-ryeol patted Dang Do-gyeong on the shoulder.

“According to the regulations, Do-kyung, you are still a minor. However, if the family runs only based on regulations, then why is there a need for there to be a head of the family? If you were someone who learned the art of memorization, I should have taught you how to memorize it, but I thought you were special and couldn’t pay attention to your difficulties.”

“Matriarch…!”

“I should apologize to you for having an ugly head of the family, causing you hardship and causing discord with your immediate family.”

“No. Lord! Just the thought of the matriarch is enough to impress me!”

Dang Do-gyeong looked like he was holding his hand with tears in his eyes, and Dang Gwang-ryeol repeatedly patted Dang Do-gyeong on the shoulder.

“We will reduce it for you!”

Lord Pung Yeong congratulated Tang Gwang-ryeol in an exalted tone. Great Lord Feng Ying was the person who had been through the hardships of a week with Tang Guang-ryeol, so now Great Lord Feng Ying’s heart was overflowing with joy.

“Thank you..! Great Lord Pungyeong also had a hard time!”

“Hahahaha! How can we deserve the hard work of the head of the family!”

Dang Gwang-ryeol looked at Ho Cheon-an, who was standing beyond Feng Ying Daeju.

Looking at Ho Cheon-an’s smile, Tang Gwang-ryeol was overcome with complicated feelings. It is true that I was hit hard by Ho Cheon-an, and even now, when I recall the memory of that day, my forehead naturally aches.

Ho Cheon-an’s lecture was truly enough to be called a culmination of gambling. Dang Gwang-ryeol felt this fact keenly after listening to the lecture for a week. It was true that the commission fee was quite a lot, but it was a lecture that would cost even that money.

However, hitting Takbam was too much, so I couldn’t help but want to return at least one hit.

However, after experiencing today’s battle, my thoughts changed again. If I hadn’t let go of everything after being hit by Takbam, if I hadn’t been prepared to absorb everything in Hocheonan and repay Takbam, would I have been able to win against Tang Do-gyeong today?

The victory itself was overwhelming, but the watershed moment of victory was truly a narrow one. If I hadn’t had a strong drive to avenge that humiliation, would I really have been able to achieve victory?

‘Yes, I admit it. ‘Your judgment was all right.’

“ reduction. The head of the family.”

“Thank you, teacher. If it weren’t for the teacher, I wouldn’t have had the skills to beat Do-kyung in this short period of time. And he must have lived his whole life without knowing that this person was just a frog in a well.”

Tang Gwang-ryeol decided in his heart to recognize Ho Cheon-an as his benefactor. The same was true as Dang Gwang-ryeol as an individual and as Dang Gwang-ryeol, the head of the Dang family.

Tang Dao-gyeong’s unhesitating disclosure of his esoteric skills for the ‘Dang Family Mengho Am Dragon Fighting Technique’ was enough to make him a benefactor of the entire Tang family, and as an individual, he cured Tang Gwang-ryeol’s small thoughts and gambling addiction, making him a benefactor among benefactors. It could be said.

‘But..! I have to repay Takbam!’

Even though he knew that it was not something he would do to his benefactor, Dang Gwang-ryeol could not ignore the urge to hit Takbam, rising from deep inside his heart.

It didn’t matter if I got hit by dozens of blows. Just one! Let’s give back just one!

I was just about to open my mouth after making that decision.

Hocheonan’s mouth opened.
