"Ming Xiu, are you having a fever?" Tian Zhenzhen touched Ming Xiu's head and asked in puzzlement.
Ming Xiu pushed Tian Zhenzhen's hand away. "Of course not."
"Then why did you want to hire that Zhou Wen as your coach? Shouldn't you defeat him and make a name for yourself at Sunset College? "Tian Zhenzhen said.
"I've already sparred with a student he taught," Ming Xiu said.
"Shouldn't your opponent be him? Why did you fight a student he taught? What was the outcome? "Tian Zhenzhen asked three questions in a row.
"It was a draw. I didn't win despite using all my strength. That person's saber techniques are just too powerful," Ming Xiu said excitedly.
Tian Zhenzhen and the students from Bright Prospects College were alarmed. Ming Xiu was such a powerful person, but he had only managed to tie with a student taught by Zhou Wen. This was unbelievable. From their point of view, Ming Xiu should be an invincible existence. How could he only tie with a student taught by Zhou Wen? Then, how strong was Zhou Wen?
Ming Xiu continued, "That student only attended three of Zhou Wen's private lessons. According to him, two to three months ago, his strength wasn't enough to take ten strikes from me."
"What?" Tian Zhenzhen and company felt their brains go haywire.
To be able to fight Ming Xiu to a draw after just three private lessons, this sounded like a fairy tale to them.
"Ming Xiu, is what you said true?" Tian Zhenzhen couldn't believe it.
"There's no mistake. A person like Feng Qiuyan wouldn't lie at a glance. Furthermore, Zhou Wen is ranked last among his tutor's four students. He's the weakest, "Ming Xiu added.
"Is this the famous Sunset College? What kind of monsters are they!? "Tian Zhenzhen and company were dumbfounded.
In their eyes, the invincible study god Ming Xiu didn't seem that outstanding in Sunset College.
However, Ming Xiu was very excited. "I thought it would be a boring trip, but I never expected to come to the right place. Sunset College is indeed Sunset College. There are too many powerful students here. This feeling is great."
In Wang Mingyuan's laboratory, only Zhou Wen and Zhong Ziya were there. The two of them faced each other as they played cards. As for Zhou Wen, there were already several pieces of paper stuck to his face.
Zhou Wen had originally come to ask Wang Mingyuan some questions regarding cultivation, but Wang Mingyuan hadn't returned from Dragon's Well. Therefore, Zhong Ziya suggested that the two of them play cards since they were bored.
Zhou Wen originally rejected it. Gaming was better than playing cards.
However, Zhong Ziya said that if Zhou Wen could beat him at cards, he would give him an Epic movement technique crystal.
Although Zhou Wen didn't know how to play cards, he felt that when it came to two people, it was 30% skill and 70% luck. Even if his skill wasn't good, he would definitely win as long as his luck was good enough.
However, he never expected that Zhong Ziya would play Reverse with him. Once he made the wrong move, he would lose. The three slips of paper on Zhou Wen's face were all because he had made the wrong move.
Zhou Wen had seen Zhong Ziya and company play before, so he had a rough idea of how to play. However, watching was one thing, and playing it himself was another. It was easy for such cards to go astray and make the wrong move.
Zhong Ziya played a real card, while Zhou Wen played a Reverse. For example, if Zhou Wen played a 7, Zhong Ziya would need to play an 8 or above to beat him. However, Zhou Wen couldn't play a 9. Instead, he had to play a card smaller than an 8 to be considered a higher card than Zhong Ziya's 8.
This was a very special way of playing. It was Zhou Wen's first time playing, and he played Reverse the moment he started. As Zhong Ziya played cards, he spoke to him, making it easy for Zhou Wen to habitually play cards in a normal manner. He had lost three times because of this. It wasn't because his cards were bad.
As Zhong Ziya played cards, he said with a smile, "Junior, it's not that easy to play Reverse. When Jiang Yan first taught me and Hui Haifeng how to play, the two of us had quite a number of paper slips stuck to us. Just treat it as paying more tuition fees."
"I already know how to play. Again," Zhou Wen said.
"You can play as many rounds as you want," Zhong Ziya said with a smile.
The habits of human thought weren't that easy to change. After living for more than ten years, he had always played Reverse. It was very easy for him to be led astray when he was suddenly asked to play Reverse.
Back then, Zhong Ziya had spent quite a bit of time to fully adapt to this way of thinking. It definitely wouldn't be easy for Zhou Wen to adapt immediately.
Furthermore, Zhong Ziya had been deliberately talking to Zhou Wen, distracting him from thinking about the topic. It was easier for him to make mistakes.
Back when Zhong Ziya first learned to play cards, he didn't dare speak to Jiang Yan. Once he was distracted, he would make mistakes.
After a long time, he could play cards while chatting with Jiang Yan and company. Hui Haifeng's situation was similar to his. The only person who could chat with them without making any mistakes was Wang Mingyuan.
Zhong Ziya didn't know if Wang Mingyuan had played such cards before or if there was some other reason. In any case, he had never seen Wang Mingyuan make any mistakes when playing cards.
As for Jiang Yan, who had suggested playing cards this way, Zhong Ziya hadn't seen him make any mistakes. However, he was the one who suggested it, so he must have played it for a long time in the past. It wasn't strange.
Zhong Ziya originally imagined that Zhou Wen would definitely need some time to adapt or that he wouldn't talk to him. He would focus on playing cards and slowly think. That way, he could avoid making mistakes.
However, Zhou Wen didn't do that. He continued chatting and playing cards with him. The speed at which he played cards was also normal. He didn't deliberately slow down to think.
However, from the fourth round onwards, Zhou Wen didn't make any mistakes. Although Zhou Wen still lost in the end, it was because his cards weren't good and he didn't have any skill in playing them.
He got used to it so quickly? Zhong Ziya found it unbelievable as he continued fighting with Zhou Wen a few more times. Soon, he realized that Zhou Wen had really gotten used to it. No matter how he spoke to Zhou Wen, he couldn't make Zhou Wen make any mistakes no matter how much he tried to distract him.
This fellow's talent in this aspect might be better than mine and Hui Haifeng's. Zhong Ziya was slightly surprised.
"I'm not playing anymore. It's really boring." Seeing that Zhou Wen didn't make any mistakes and that his card skills seemed to be getting better, Zhong Ziya was really afraid that he would fail miserably. "Let's play another two rounds.
If you lose, I don't want your crystal. "Zhou Wen had just started playing and found it interesting, so he naturally wasn't willing to let Zhong Ziya off.
Zhong Ziya had no choice but to agree to play another two rounds.
When Wang Mingyuan came out of Dragon's Well, Zhong Ziya and Zhou Wen had quite a number of slips of paper stuck to their faces. It surprised Wang Mingyuan slightly.
According to what he knew, this was Zhou Wen's first time playing Reverse. To be able to exchange blows with Zhong Ziya, it seemed like he had good talent in this aspect.
