Ho Cheon-an’s complexion hardened.

‘What can I give you?’

Ho Cheon-an looked alternately at the thunder tablets in the hands of the Heavenly Demon Wi Ji-cheon and Wi Ji-cheon with a pained expression.

It’s an exchange condition for brain power.

‘It would be simple if I could at least give you enlightenment.’

Since Noejeong was a collection of martial principles, it would have been right to give him enlightenment, but unfortunately, Ho Cheon-an did not know about the enlightenment of Cheonma Wijicheon.

Cheonma Wijicheon.

Because the Heavenly Demon Wijicheon in the game was a being that could not be looked into with the [Mysterious Hocheonan].

‘Seuheup.’

At the time of playing the game, people who could not see through divine powers thought that their function was blocked as a courtesy to the legendary beings of martial arts, but Ho Cheon-an, who heard the whole truth from the reincarnation truck, saw the enlightenment of the Heavenly Demon with his own eyes. I thought maybe it was something I couldn’t see.

“Now, what should we do?”

Ho Cheon-an’s thoughts, which had drifted aside for a moment, came back to reality at Wi Ji-cheon’s urging.

A look of agony appeared on Ho Cheon-an’s face.

Martial arts? Elixir?

There was no way that the Heavenly Demon Wijicheon, the master of this Heavenly Demon Divine Religion, lacked martial arts and elixirs.

Or the location of spirits or monsters?

It was certainly valuable information, but it was not something that the Heavenly Demon would be interested in.

Cold sweat broke out on Ho Cheon-an’s face.

This is because we reviewed all the information accumulated by a person with 10 years of experience, but there was nothing that matched the value of Noejeong.

“You’re joking too much. Father.”

Wei Shu-lian, who saw cold sweat streaming down Hu Tian-an’s face, stepped forward.

“Is it possible that Ho Cheon-an, who is just a ronin, possesses a treasure comparable in value to the value of that thunderbolt?”

Wi Ji-cheon gave a simple reply to Wi Seo-ryeon’s protest.

“Then I guess I should have it.”

“…Didn’t they say that the Thunder Pavilion was left behind by the founder of Hocheonan?”

“That’s right. However, the reason why I am able to maintain the brain essence that has penetrated my body in such an intact form is because I have painstakingly extracted this energy over a long period of time. If this energy was extinguished just to heal the wound, there would be no reason to live wearing uncomfortable gloves.”

Wi Ji-cheon rolled the brain tablet between his fingers and continued speaking.

“It is my strength that is keeping this thunder tablet from exploding and collapsing right now. The moment I let go of this control, it will expand and explode at will, leaving nothing behind.”

Hearing the conversation between the two Heavenly Demons, Hu Cheon-an turned his head.

In fact, it couldn’t be said to be the correct answer, but there was a way to obtain brain tablets.

‘If you ask the Heavenly Demon what you want, you will receive it.’

Cheonma Wijicheon.

He is a person who keeps his promises.

If you give in to what the Heavenly Demon wants, you will definitely be able to get the Thunderbolt.

However, there was a very serious problem with this method.

The point was that Wijicheon was Cheonma.

‘You must never give the initiative to the Heavenly Demon!’

Ho Cheon-an looked at the thunder tablet rolling on the hands of the Heavenly Demon who was having a conversation.

The Heavenly Demon does not bend.

The moment you counter-present the price of that thunderbolt to Cheonma, the value of the thunderjeong will be calculated in Cheonma’s mind.

And once the value is set, it will never change.

Once you declare surrender and hand over the initiative, you are in a position where you have no choice but to be dragged along endlessly.

‘I have to somehow come up with an offer that will appeal to the Heavenly Demon.’

However, no matter how much I thought about it, I could not think of any items or information that could be traded with Noejeong.

Martial arts or elixir for warriors. Or why is another mechanism needed?

It was to become stronger.

Cheonma has already risen to the rank of the strongest in this world of martial arts.

The information that Hocheonan would give to Wijicheon, who had not only personal strength but also the enormous power of the Heavenly Demon Church, was of little use.

Ho Cheon-an looked at the two fighting demons with dead eyes.

“If just maintaining it is difficult, isn’t it a bad idea to pass it on?”

“It doesn’t matter. Just keep it in your body like this.”

Wi Ji-cheon absorbed the lightning that was rolling in his hand back into his body. As Ho Cheon-an looked at the neatly disappeared light, a thought suddenly passed through his mind.

Wi Ji-cheon raised his palm towards Wi Seo-ryeon, who was using large groups to buy time. Wei Seo-ryeon bit her lip at that gesture.

The reason the Heavenly Demon sent such a gesture meant that he would not allow any more time to be wasted.

“Yes, I think I gave enough time. What do you plan on giving me in return for brain power?”

Ultimatum.

In response to Wi Ji-cheon’s ultimatum, Ho Cheon-an looked up at Wi Ji-cheon.

Will this work?

Such thoughts lingered in Ho Cheon-an’s mind, but he soon tightened his eyes and opened his mouth.

“I will sell my talents.”

“Hoo.”

Wi Ji-cheon smiled, perhaps intrigued by Ho Cheon-an’s words.

“What talent are you selling?”

“I have a talent that I am proud of as being the best in the world.”

After hearing that, the black cat opened its eyes wide.

‘Senior… really?’

Ho Cheon-an gradually became more confident in his choice as the words came out of his mouth.

It was a conclusion derived from a misconception that it was like a sleight of hand in gambling after seeing the lightning disappear from Wi Ji-cheon’s hand, but the more I thought about it, the more it was a clever trick.

“It’s gambling.”

There was silence in Daejeon for a moment.

“Do you think it will be worth it?”

“Cheonma said that he put in a lot of effort to completely remove the thunderbolt. It must be said that Noejeong contains the hard work of the world’s greatest warrior.”

Ho Cheon-an calculated the period of time that Wi Ji-cheon had been harboring a thunderbolt.

6 months.

After leaving Jinbeop, I spent about two months in Sichuan Province, and the travel time from Sichuan Province to Yeonghui Mountain, and from Yeonghui Mountain to reach this Heavenly Demon God Bridge was about one month. And since he spent three months in Demonic Bridge, the period of time Wi Ji-cheon was in love with Thunder was about six months.

Hu Tian-an looked straight at Wei Ji-tian and said.

“I will buy it with the six months of effort of a warrior who discusses the best in the world, and the dexterity of six months of the best gambler in the world.”

Ho Cheon-an thought as he saw Wi Ji-cheon looking down at him without wavering.

Cheonma said that he extracted the brain essence after six months of effort.

However, was the reason why Cheonma worked hard for 6 months really to completely extract the brain essence?

Hu Tianan shook his head inwardly.

‘I was so preoccupied with the fact that I had extracted a thunderbolt that I forgot the essence of why I did such a thing.’

Cheonma is an answer to a question containing the principles of martial arts left behind by an unknown school of thought.

Ho Cheon-an decided that way.

‘That’s why it’s so favorable to me.’

Is there ever a moment when an unmanned person becomes as generous as when he or she achieves something?

That was the true nature of the kindness Wi Ji-cheon was showing right now.

Ho Cheon-an thought about it from Wi Ji-cheon’s perspective.

The accomplishment was definitely something to be happy about. But are we really happy?

Ho Cheon-an decided that it was not.

Even so, he was a Cheonma who was living a leisurely life with a strength that would have made him the second-best in the world. An opponent named Unknown appears to the Heavenly Demon, and after much effort, he solves the problem presented by the opponent named Unknown.

Of course you will feel a sense of accomplishment.

But at the same time, I felt a sense of emptiness and loss.

That was exactly where Hocheonan dug in.

‘Even Cheonma’s desire for martial arts must have cooled at this moment.’

Even though he is a Heavenly Demon with the power of breaking the sky, there is no change in the fact that he is a person who accepts reality and lives.

An unknown enemy met after a long wait and boredom. At this moment, after solving the problem left behind by Green Unknown, wouldn’t Cheonma have this thought?

After a long wait, I met my enemy and became stronger, so it will be a long time before I meet someone who could be my enemy again.

The feeling of desperation that one has no choice but to accept after a happy time has passed.

What if something comes along that can fill in that gap even a little bit?

I didn’t know if Wi Ji-cheon would be interested.

no.

‘There’s a very good chance you’ll be interested!’

I was half sure.

The reason was simple.

‘If even old people get enough of martial arts content, they will turn to technical works!’

Because I did too!

Wi Ji-cheon, who was looking at Ho Cheon-an’s gaze looking up at him with confidence, said one word.

“Bring the dice.”

“Honorable name!”

Even at the moment when the thunderbolt exploded and chaos ensued in Cheonmajeon, the guardian guard who had not appeared appeared, bowed down, and then disappeared.

“I have never particularly enjoyed gambling. I can’t say that throwing dice as a child was gambling, and all I did was watching other people play goal cards a few times.”

Wi Ji-cheon asked, resting his chin on the back of his hand.

“How would you sell your gambling skills to someone like that?”

“Anything.”

Ho Cheon-an strained his eyes, thinking that now was the turning point.

“No matter how unfavorable conditions the Heavenly Demon presents to me, I will overcome those conditions and inflict defeat.”

“Kk….Kkkkk…”

Wi Ji-cheon burst out laughing.

Since becoming the Heavenly Demon, has anyone ever discussed defeat?

There wasn’t.

Cheonma did not live only meeting warriors. But what about those who are talented in each field? Although there were some who took pride in their skills, they all just bowed down before the Heavenly Demon.

When Wi Ji-cheon remembered that fact, he became cheerful.

The boldness of Ho Cheon-an, who said that he would use his talent to overcome any hardships and adversities, was something that Wi Ji-cheon had never seen in his long life.

“Hahahaha….! Yeah, it’s fun. It’s really fun!”

While Cheonma burst out laughing, the receiving guard who had rescued the dice offered the dice to Wijicheon.

An ordinary six-sided die made of wood.

Such a dice floated in the air.

And the dice suddenly began to fall apart.

So la la la la rock!!

A dice that has become a sphere of perfect shape. A fire suddenly appeared on the surface of the dice.

Chijijijijiji!!

Starting with a single large dot as the surface was scratched, eyes numbered from 1 to 6 were drawn on the surface of the sphere.

The dice, which had been transformed into circular dice, moved in front of Ho Cheon-an’s eyes.

“Then prove that you are the best gambler in the world.”

Wei Ji-cheon smiled as he watched Ho Cheon-an accept the circular dice.

“If you can accurately pull out the eye you want with that dice, buy that talent.”

Black Cat and Wei Seo-ryeon stared at the dice that Ho Cheon-an was fiddling with. The two people, who had strengthened their eyesight, noticed that the dice rolling around in Hocheonan’s hand were cut into a perfectly circular shape.

‘Is this possible?’

Wei Seo-ryeon naturally had that thought. Is it possible to make the eye you want turn up with a perfectly circular die?

Wei Seo-ryeon didn’t know much about gambling.

But I was able to guess this one thing.

In the end, isn’t gambling skill perfected through practice? In that sense, the conditions presented by Wi Ji-cheon were extremely unfavorable to Ho Cheon-an.

No matter how difficult a skill is, it can be implemented little by little if you practice it repeatedly.

It may be extremely difficult to pull out the eye you want with a round die, but with enough practice, it might be possible.

however.

‘There is no such thing as circular dice in the first place.’

At this moment, for the first time, Ho Cheon-an was in a situation where he had to gouge out his eyes with a circular dice.

Is it possible to perfectly control a type of dice that is thrown for the first time in your life?

However, Ho Cheon-an moved without hesitation towards the statue in front of him.

container. container.

Wei Seo-ryeon and Black Cat swallowed their dry saliva as they looked at Ho Cheon-an flipping the dice on the table.

Even Black Cat, who had accompanied Hu Tianan all this time and had knowledge of numerous gambling techniques, was not sure whether he would be able to pull out the eye that Hu Tianan wanted in the current situation.

“I will pick 6.”

However, Ho Cheon-an calmly declared that the feelings of those two people were none of his business and rolled the dice.

Drurrr…!

A small sphere ran slowly over a large table prepared to place gifts offered to the Heavenly Demon.

The sphere, which was rolling at a speed that was neither fast nor slow, began to slow down little by little.

Wei Seo-ryeon and Black Cat swallowed dry saliva and noticed the slowing dice, and Wi Ji-cheon also kept his chin up, but followed the dice’s eyes with his eyes.

Eventually, the dice stopped.

“Ah…!”

Wei Seo-ryeon couldn’t hold back and let out an exclamation.

six!

six eyes.

This was because six dots could be seen rising on the top of the sphere so perfectly that no flaw could be found.

“Great.”

Wi Ji-cheon was also impressed.

Wi Ji-cheon painted the eyes of the dice himself.

Wi Ji-cheon knew that 6 was the number that could be drawn most reliably.

6 was a number that had no choice but to be located on the opposite side of 1.

The dot number 1 on the die is expressed as the largest dot among all the dots on the die.

Wi Ji-cheon burned the surface of the dice to represent the dots on the dice.

In other words, the number 1 on a die could be said to be the flattest part of a perfectly circular die.

Ho Cheon-an saw that point and chose 6.

Using the 1 eye of the dice, I pulled out the number 6 perfectly.

Dexterity to perfectly control a circular sphere.

The judgment ability to take advantage of even the slightest loophole.

And he even had the courage to carry out his actions and judgments without a single error in a situation where all the odds were at stake.

“Hehe, you must have the skills to discuss the best in the world.”

Wi Ji-cheon recognized Ho Cheon-an’s skills.

“….This is too much praise.”

“I will call you once a day for 6 months. I will offer you a fight and you will have to win every day as promised.”

Wi Ji-cheon said as he placed the brain tablet hidden inside his body on his hand.

“Then I will hand over this thunderbolt to you.”

“Good.”

Ho Cheon-an stared at the thunder tablet and nodded heavily.

Hocheonan and Wijicheon.

The six-month gambling match between Wi Ji-cheon and Ho Cheon-an has begun.
