The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 378: Jade Rabbit's hidden ability

Looking towards the man who fainted after coughing blood, Jian Shen would be lying if he said he wasn't feeling nervous. After all, that dao ring which had just been destroyed and didn't even leave any proof behind that it ever existed was what he needed to create next.

And just imagining the same thing happening to him was enough to make anyone take a step back and think if they really want to experience the same.

"What scared?"

Not replying since he was seriously thinking about whether or not he should try this, Jian Shen looked towards Xiaxue, "What is the best state for me to be in when I enter the City of Beginning?"

Considering for a split second, Xiaxue smiled and said, "Like everything else in the world, it depends on who you are and what you want."

"In this case, how many Daos do you want to comprehend inside the City of Beginning, and how confident are you in comprehending them without losing control of your Dao RIngs."

Smiling wryly since even though he considered himself talented Jian Shen didn't dare boast about being good at something which he never did, the sword cultivator decided to at least experience what it felt like to comprehend a Dao Law and understand how to maintain a dao ring which was made of multiple dao laws.

After all, even though he didn't know what waited for him inside the City of Beginning, Jian Shen had heard that inside the city was a once in a lifetime opportunity which would give everyone who obtained it the chance to gain a strong foundation on literally every dao law they might want to comprehend.

"I'm going to try it."

Smiling proudly, Xiaxue said, "Good decision. Entering that place without knowing how it feels like to comprehend a dao and integrate them into dao rings would be a complete waste. Now come with me, you should always either hit big or die trying."

Saying so, Xiaxue took Jian Shen through a few doors and brought him to the most luxurious part of the casino.

Looking towards the huge tables arranged on the artificial lake's shore, Jian Shen could almost smell the wealth leaking from those who sat around them.

"This is where the really wealthy ones play."

Smiling wryly as this place was a double-edged sword where he would win more than he invested or lose everything while trying, Jian Shen was about to pick a random seat and sit when he suddenly felt a weird feeling.

Starting from his middle dantian, some weird energy entered his eyes which caused them to burn.

Bearing with the pain Jian Shen was about to try and find the cause of it when he noticed what the hell was happening. He still didn't know why he was feeling like this, but with his eyes burning Jian Shen was right now capable of looking through the bowls which were placed on the betting tables!

To be more accurate, it was through the arrays that were keeping the contents inside it which Jian Shen's eyes were allowing him to see through.

The round bowls themselves were made of ordinary materials which anyone with even some understanding over cultivation could look inside of.

Trying his best to not show any expression on his face, Jian Shen quickly tried to find out what the reason behind him suddenly obtaining this special ability was. After all, being able to ignore the power of arrays and look through them wasn't as simple and useless as it sounded.

Sure for right now it would only be good enough for some petty gambling. But if Jian Shen managed to understand how to use this power properly, he was sure that he'd be able to use it to find the core/eye of any array and destroy them.

Due to this, while telling Xiaxue that he would like to look for a while before he began, Jian Shen found out that it was the spirit of the beast he considered the most useless and fused with one of his split soul purely due to feeling that it was a formality.

The Jade Rabbit's spirit was what was helping Jian Shen see through the array which not even strong cultivators like Xiaxue could do without a good understanding of arrays.

Stimulating the Jade Rabbit spirit a little more, Jian Shen sighed in relief at how he could use this ability even without having to replace the Heavenly Dragon's spirit with it. Be it because these arrays were too weak to require the Jade Rabbit spirit to show its full strength, or some other reason, Jian Shen spent around five minutes looking at every bowl before they were opened and was now fully confident in using this newly discovered ability.

"If you are trying to find a pattern, you might as well give up. Look there, the one who places the chips inside the bowls does it somewhere else and only gives the spatial ring containing them to the dealer. Due to this, no one can be sure regarding which bowl contains what."

"Since no one knows what contains what, how can the players be sure they aren't being cheated and the 'jackpot' bowl is the..? Never mind."

Not needing to answer the question since one round was completely finished after which all of the unpicked bowls were opened by the dealer, Jian Shen picked a table which had nine people already around it and took a seat.
