Chapter Index

    *** ***

    Second-class library inside the Cheonma Report.

    The black cat muttered as he pulled out a book of secrets.

    “found.”

    On the scale lifted by the black cat, the words ‘Gwiuncheoljo’ were clearly displayed.

    “Would you like to do it at that level?”

    The black cat nodded without any emotion to the guide, who was conscious of the black cat and raised his voice excessively.

    The black cat was immediately led to the reading room.

    The reading room was a space where one could learn or memorize the selected class.

    Black Cat used the brain power ball recommended by Ho Cheon-an and put the secret of the evil iron bird in his head.

    Heukmyo, who had first absorbed the first half of the story in three sessions, thought while pressing his temples to relieve the throbbing pain in his head due to exhaustion of concentration.

    ‘Now I have collected seven martial arts books out of the ten martial arts books my senior told me to collect.’

    The black cat thought, remembering the contents of the Ghost Cloud that had just entered his mind.

    It’s a very ambiguous martial arts skill.

    Although fishing methods originally focus on entrapping a person’s arms or body, this tiger’s iron bird was too aggressive.

    It is true that those who do not use weapons can stretch out their hands and feet without fear of amputation, as they can wear strong energy in their hands from the transcendental stage, but even if they wear strong energy, it does not mean that there is no damage to the body.

    In his head, Black Cat recalled the six martial arts he had learned so far.

    ‘The combination with the Wolryeong pitcher recommended by my senior is good, but then the management of the pitch is too difficult.’

    After thinking about this for a moment, the black cat shook off his thoughts.

    “Well, there must be a reason why my senior recommended it.”

    Heukmyo did not doubt Hocheonan as long as it was a coincidence. Don’t you know the Hwari Cave at the bottom of the river? Don’t you know a mysterious place like Hyeoncheonja’s secret cave? Don’t you know exactly which martial artist is buried in which mountain?

    There was so much that was shown to me that it was foolish to doubt it.

    Of course, it was true that I was curious about the source of such information.

    Black Cat recalled what happened at Yeonghwi Mountain.

    ‘It seems like the senior regained his memories in that room…’

    Ho Cheon-an’s actions were clearly those of someone who had regained his memories. However, out of curiosity, Black Cat did not want to dig into Hocheonan’s past history.

    Just by looking at the scenery unfolding in the hidden battle, Hocheonan’s tragic childhood was depicted.

    ‘I’ll tell you someday.’

    Life in the Demon School continued without any major crises, but that didn’t mean it was easy.

    Ho Tian-an continued to gamble with Wei Ji-cheon every day, and at the same time, he was sparring with Wei Seo-lian once a week.

    Is it just that?

    In order to spar with Wei Seo-ryeon, it was necessary to steadily become stronger.

    Although he was complaining about how progress was stagnating, he only grumbled with his mouth and was diligently going to Vigo and continuing his training.

    Although Ho Cheon-an is doing well, the daily life of Magyo that Ho Cheon-an continues is not easy at all.

    ‘If you receive a thunderbolt, will you go to the top?’

    Heukmyo was overcome with a strange feeling as he imagined Hocheonan reaching the state of flower scenery. We made a promise to each other to work hard and reach the state of harmony, but at that time, I didn’t think that promise would actually become a reality…

    After about 5 months, that promise becomes a reality.

    “I should try not to fall behind either.”

    After muttering that, the black cat strained his eyes and began to put the latter half of the story in his head.

    And when the black cat is developing itself like that.

    “Are you here?”

    Ho Cheon-an was visiting an underground gambling hall.

    *** ***

    It is difficult for martial arts experts to enjoy gambling.

    There is no law prohibiting warriors from gambling, but martial artists of high status can only enjoy brief entertainment through gambling.

    Hocheonan Lee, a supreme expert.

    There was a time when I robbed the gamblers of Yeongyangru in order to receive a request from a private recruiter.

    At this time, the justification of moving to drive out the evil sects from the underworld of Sichuan Province justified my actions, but in fact, if you look at the behavior of a transcendental expert robbing gamblers, it was just like a martial arts expert doing a bad thing at a gambling table.

    In the end, martial arts masters can only accept gambling for entertainment, but are destined to be excluded from real gambling.

    This was the reason why none of the characters in the world of martial arts were successful at gambling.

    In the end, the characters in the world of martial arts are martial arts people, and if you are a martial arts person, you are often ostracized at the gambling table, so how can someone who is successful at gambling come out?

    It was difficult for a martial artist to enjoy and learn gambling like this.

    That’s why he caught Wi Ji-cheon off guard.

    Since martial arts appeared in a gambling game where martial arts should have been excluded, he lost his mind and lost.

    He won because Wi Ji-cheon’s sleight-of-hand technique was simple, but he could not respond to the martial arts gambling technique itself at all, so it was necessary to find a countermeasure.

    I went to Wei Seo-ryeon and asked.

    “Where did you learn such gambling skills?”

    “Ah, you mean the technique your father demonstrated? I learned it from the devil’s gambler.”

    Are there such gamblers in the Demonic Cult?

    It was the first time I heard this story, even though I was a person in the world of martial arts.

    “If you’re thinking of going, I’ll hire a guide.”

    “Please.”

    The guide appointed by Wei Seo-ryeon was not a guard but a gambler.

    “It is called transfer.”

    “Nice to meet you.”

    Apparently, this person was a gambler who taught Wi Seo-ryeon and Wi Ji-cheon. His cheeks were chubby, probably because he had been tormented by Wi Ji-cheon and Wi Seo-ryeon for the past two weeks.

    “Are you also interested in gambling that involves martial arts?”

    I nodded silently.

    However, the person named Jeon Ip smiled friendly, as if he thought he was increasing his comrades.

    “Haha, it must be like heaven for people like you. There, you will be able to enjoy gambling to your heart’s content without any restrictions.”

    The underground gambling hall arrived under the guidance of such a transfer.

    Jeon Ip looked at me and said with a triumphant smile.

    “Welcome to Anmokhoe and Dansuhoe.”

    I gaped at the view of the gambling hall.

    Shhh shish shish!

    “Hahaha! Take it! My Wind God Ryu!”

    Shashashashak!

    “Will you be able to see through my tricks?”

    This thought occurred to me as I was watching the martial arts experts who were excluded from the gambling scene gather together and engage in gambling that only martial arts experts can do.

    How serious are these people about gambling?

    Looking at the technology that came and went, it was not something that could be completed in a day or two.

    Those who sincerely practice martial arts gambling skills that can only be used in underground gambling halls. Those who do not hesitate to sweat and put their heads on the line for the thrill that can only be enjoyed here.

    I couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration for that passion.

    however.

    “Eight! Receive it!”

    Scream!

    While I was exclaiming, I couldn’t help but be shocked when I saw the currency they were exchanging.

    No episode!

    The moment I saw their conversation, I realized what kind of place this was.

    A place where gambling takes place, not with money.

    Underground gambling hall!

    The moment I realized that I was standing in an underground gambling hall, even Hocheonan couldn’t help but be shocked.

    Where is this place?

    It is the Church of the Heavenly Demon.

    It is not the Heavenly Demon Shinmun, the Heavenly Demon God School, or the Heavenly Demon God Alliance, but the Heavenly Demon Religion.

    In the Heavenly Demon Church, the idea of reverence and martial arts was a doctrine.

    In other words, this meant that martial arts was considered sacred in this demonic religion.

    In such a devil’s religion, you gamble with no luck?

    It’s an unholy thing, but it can happen. Because anyone can dream of making a fortune. Those who have a desire to acquire a large amount of money through one gamble instead of steady work can engage in gambling among themselves.

    In such a demonic cult, they create a martial arts gambling technique that mixes martial arts and gambling?

    It’s blasphemous, but it could happen. This is because warriors who like gambling can create gambling techniques that can be used among warriors to enjoy themselves.

    however.

    What kind of people would they be if they committed those two acts of disrespect at the same time?

    Now, in this underground gambling hall, those two taboos were being violated at the same time.

    Now, in this demonic cult where worship and martial ideology is prevalent, these people are gambling with no side by using a combination of martial arts and martial arts techniques because it is not enough.

    After understanding that fact, people who seemed like passionate gamblers who were sincere about gambling began to look different.

    These aren’t completely crazy people!

    “Hehe, how do you feel? It looks like you’re so moved that you can’t speak!”

    I don’t know why, but a shy guy approached me, rubbing under his nose with his finger.

    Now that I think about it, this guy is the most dangerous guy.

    This guy who broke all the taboos is teaching the Heavenly Demon and Little Heavenly Demon, the masters of this Heavenly Demon Religion.

    I should have known from when the person’s name was All In.

    Without realizing it, I took a step back and increased the distance between me and the previous person.

    “Why are you doing that?”

    “Oh, no…”

    I felt like I wanted to run away from this den of crazy people right now, but I thought about my original purpose and barely suppressed my steps backwards.

    Jeon Ip, who looked at me quizzically for a moment, didn’t seem to think it was a big deal and led me inside the underground gambling hall.

    “As you can see, in this underground gambling hall, even if you show off your martial arts skills, no one says anything. However, using martial arts is only within the board. It is strictly prohibited to use light or martial arts directly on an opponent.”

    In a way, it seemed like a natural statement, so I nodded without resistance.

    If it were possible to directly attack an opponent with Qigong, then what was going on in this underground gambling hall would not have been gambling, but fighting.

    “I know it’s rude, but may I ask you a question? Please do not misunderstand that due to the nature of this underground gambling hall where martial arts can be used, a match can only be played if people of similar skill level fight together.”

    “It’s the best.”

    “Ho, indeed…his prayers were unusual.”

    Now that I see it, in each edition, people of similar level are hanging out together. The ones you see the most are, of course, top-notch experts. The number of peak masters also seemed to be similar to that of first-class masters.

    As I went further into the gambling hall, the prayer in the air became heavier.

    “Um.”

    I had an intuition that the five warriors in front of me were the best. The three people who were watching the two people gambling also looked in my direction, as if they felt my prayers.

    “Transfer, interest?”

    “Hehe, you are the first person to visit the underground gambling hall today.”

    “…ho.”

    The three people looked at me with interest.

    “There is one more special thing.”

    At its peak, it is a truly enviable high rank in this Demonic Cult. It also meant that if they were discovered to be attending an underground gambling hall, their reputation would suffer greatly.

    However, since they are killing themselves in this dangerous underground gambling hall, I have no choice but to call them a different species.

    “This person visited here today for the purpose of learning martial arts gambling techniques. Is there anyone who can join us?”

    The three people exchanged glances, and then one person stepped forward.

    “Yes, new partners are always welcome. Do you want to do it?”

    “Of course.”

    “Hehe, don’t be upset if you lose too much of Mupyeon. Basically, you learn by losing.”

    My opponent provoked me, but I just ignored it and sat down.

    “Common sense or not. I am Sakhwi.”

    “Hocheonan.”

    I thought about this as I watched them take out the sakhui, cup, and dice.

    I was literally defeated by the martial arts gambling techniques of Heavenly Demon Wi Ji-cheon.

    Why did I suffer so helplessly?

    Because it was truly unfamiliar.

    I had never even thought that my warrior instincts would be stimulated at the gambling table, but I couldn’t come to my senses because a Heavenly Demon of a much higher level than me was attacking my warrior instincts.

    So I had to get used to it.

    I had to get used to the situation where my instincts as a warrior were brought to the table.

    I had to get used to how to respond to martial arts gambling techniques.

    It was clear that the martial arts gambling techniques that that Sak-hwi would use would be different from those used by Wi Ji-cheon.

    However, the point is that it stimulates the warrior’s instincts and takes advantage of the gaps.

    In that case, you could develop a basic tolerance for martial arts gambling just by dealing with those who practice martial arts gambling here.

    If Wijicheon grows, shouldn’t I grow too?

    “Then I will go.”

    “Please come.”

    The moment he felt the energy being concentrated in Sakhui’s grasp, Sakhui’s cup began to move.

    Underground gambling hall.

    The first confrontation with a master who uses real martial arts gambling techniques has begun.
