Ding ding...
With the clear sound of the metal dice landing on the forging table, it slowly stopped after a few rolls.
"Three!"
Feng Wuyu did not speak, picking up the dice to roll again, and it landed on a two.
Rolling again, it was still a two.
Xia Yi said nothing and took out a soul guide communicator, opening the calculator function: 322322 ÷ 7 = 46046.
He waved the communicator in front of Feng Wuyu with a helpless expression, "Sorry, it's exactly divisible by seven. You haven't won once in a whole year."
Feng Wuyu was stunned. Could his luck really be this bad?
"Just consider it as giving you a piece of metal for free," Feng Wuyu said nonchalantly, picking up the dice to roll again.
One, four, six.
146146 ÷ 7 = 20878.
This time, Feng Wuyu stood frozen for a long time.
"How could my luck be so bad?"
He couldn't believe it. He picked up the dice again.
532532 ÷ 7 = 76076.
This time, Feng Wuyu was completely stunned.
"This is impossible?"
Could it really be that he and Xia Yi had no master-apprentice bond?
Still not believing in his bad luck, Feng Wuyu picked up the dice again.
631631 ÷ 7 = 90233.
"Impossible! How can my luck be so bad? I don't believe this. You must be cheating with the dice!" Feng Wuyu glared at Xia Yi with an angry expression.
Once was fine, but four times in a row? He hadn't won once!
Luck couldn't be this bad.
"You saw me make the dice, didn't you? It's all destiny. I've said it before, we don't have a master-apprentice bond," Xia Yi said with a straight face, trying to suppress his laughter.
"Bullshit destiny! You must have done something to the dice without me knowing!" Feng Wuyu swore loudly, angrily ripping a small piece of metal from the edge of the forging table and hammering it into a die.
Xia Yi didn't say anything, quietly watching from the side.
"This time, I'll use my own dice. I don't believe this!" Feng Wuyu quickly crafted a new die, throwing three numbers: 2, 4, and 6.
246246 ÷ 7 = 35178.
Seeing the remainder was again zero, Feng Wuyu couldn't calm down.
"Could it really be destiny?" Feng Wuyu looked at Xia Yi, then at his own dice, and threw it again.
"Forget it. You can keep playing. I have something else to do. If you win, just record a video and come find me to claim your prize," Xia Yi shook his head and, with a loud bang, punched the window, leaping out of it.
Not believing his bad luck, Feng Wuyu threw the dice again, using his communicator to calculate.
He didn't even care about stopping Xia Yi now.
All he wanted was to throw a lucky number that wasn't divisible by seven.
Meanwhile, in the Sea God Pavilion, Long Yeyue, Yun Ming, and Ya Li were also, like Feng Wuyu, holding dice in one hand and a soul guide communicator in the other.
They each threw the dice four or five times, and every time, the result was the same.
The remainder was always zero.
It wasn't until Xia Yi returned to the student dormitory that Ya Li was the first to realize something.
"I think I've found a pattern. Any six-digit number where the first three digits are the same as the last three digits is always divisible by seven," Ya Li said, dumbfounded.
Yun Ming and Long Yeyue initially didn't believe it, but after some verification, they were all stunned.
"I knew it! Xia Yi isn't some good guy. He must have been a gambler before, using tricks he learned from gamblers to mock us Shrek Academy's righteous people!" Long Yeyue gritted his teeth, saying, "Our Shrek Academy is just too righteous, which is why we didn't know such despicable tricks."
Yun Ming and Ya Li nodded in agreement. Xia Yi might appear elegant, but in many cases, his words and actions carried a certain streetwise, rogue nature.
Such a person, they thought, hadn't avoided shady deeds like gambling and deceit.
When someone like that played tricks with the "honest and kind" Shrek Academy, it was no surprise that Shrek Academy lost.
When Ya Li sent this discovery to Feng Wuyu, his anger immediately flared up.
"Xia Yi!" Feng Wuyu roared, and his thunderous shout could even be heard by Xia Yi, who had already returned to the student dormitory.
"You've done it again?" Gu Yue looked at Xia Yi, bewildered. The roar was powerful and filled with energy, coming from someone at least at the Super Douluo level.
"I feel like my sins are mounting," Xia Yi murmured, "It's one thing to bully others, but tricking a bunch of fools, I feel like I'll be struck by lightning."
Fortunately, he had escaped quickly. Otherwise, if Feng Wuyu had caught him, he'd definitely become his punching bag.
Could Feng Wuyu not be angry?
From the beginning, he had fallen into what he thought was a well-crafted trap by Xia Yi.
Xia Yi had deliberately acted as if he was willing to sacrifice his principles for rare metals, deliberately saying things like not letting Feng Wuyu cheat, all to lull him into a false sense of security.
Xia Yi wasn't afraid of him cheating at all.
He could cheat all he wanted.
In the end, he'd just be giving Xia Yi rare metals for free.
"You're good at math." Reflecting on Xia Yi's words, Feng Wuyu suddenly felt his face burning with embarrassment.
He wanted to confront Xia Yi, but when he thought about how he had embarrassed himself, he shook his head.
Now wasn't the time to find Xia Yi; it would just make him a laughingstock.
At this time, after hearing what happened, Gu Yue was speechless and slightly amused, unsure of what to say.
From Xia Yi's perspective, Feng Wuyu really looked foolish.
How could he be tricked like that?
But Gu Yue pondered that if she had been in Feng Wuyu's shoes at the start, she probably wouldn't have been any different.
She too would have thought she'd gained a huge advantage.
So, she would've played along with Xia Yi's game.
The difference between her and Feng Wuyu was the timing at which they realized something was wrong.
Gu Yue thought she would have figured out the trick after the third round of playing.
"This kind of game can't be played too much. Even though it's a willing exchange, it's easy to get fooled," Xia Yi said with a chuckle.
"You deserve to be fooled," Gu Yue replied with a wry smile.
"People from Shrek Academy must think Xia Yi has been involved in gambling or something. It's no wonder Blazing Dragon Douluo got tricked," Gu Yue mused, her gaze becoming a bit distant as she looked at Xia Yi's smug smile.
Others might not know, but she knew well.
Xia Yi had never been involved in those things.
There was no well-crafted trap.
It was just a simple trick Xia Yi came up with on the spot.
Moreover, Xia Yi not only figured out how to break the game in a short time, but he also accurately predicted when Shrek Academy would realize it.
Xia Yi had just returned to the student dormitory when Feng Wuyu yelled in fury.
It couldn't be a coincidence.
"If we ever face an opponent like Xia Yi again, we can't use any underhanded tactics. We need to act quickly, decisively, and without hesitation. Never think about gaining an advantage at his expense," Gu Yue had learned a valuable lesson from Xia Yi.
Feng Wuyu was a perfect example. He thought he had gained a huge advantage from Xia Yi.
But in the end, he was left enraged and alone, humiliated.
"By the way, how did your trial of melting the three metals go?" Gu Yue suddenly asked, remembering that Xia Yi had gone to the Forging Association mainly to try melting the three metals.
"My soul power wasn't enough, so it failed," Xia Yi sighed.
"Soul power wasn't enough? So you've already mastered the technique for melting the three metals?" Gu Yue was thrilled.
"Something like that," Xia Yi nodded. If his soul power had been enough, he believed he could have succeeded in melting the three metals.
"Don't worry about soul power; just take your time. Don't rush or you'll ruin your foundation," Gu Yue said excitedly.
The alloy of three metals! Xia Yi had only become a level five forgemaster less than a year ago!
Such a breakthrough speed was unprecedented, and just thinking about it made Gu Yue excited.
"I'll listen to you," Xia Yi smiled. Of course, he knew this, but when it was time to flatter Gu Yue, he did so—after all, she was his wife.
"That's better. Let's go train," Gu Yue said happily, taking Xia Yi's hand and leading him to Shrek Academy's exclusive training room.
Shrek Academy's exclusive training rooms were created for soul masters of different attributes.
One hundred contribution points for one hour.
For regular students, getting in once a month was already quite good.
As for Xia Yi, if he wanted, he could spend every day in there.
Contribution points were nothing for him.
The defective products he sold were incredibly popular at Shrek Academy.
He didn't even want to sell the God-silver metal to Shrek Academy, or else he'd have an unlimited supply of contribution points.
Xia Yi and Gu Yue booked a spiritual attribute training room. Since they were training together, they had to pay double the contribution points.
Xia Yi was upset, so he booked two rooms, both overnight—one for him and Gu Yue, and one for his mecha.
Seeing Xia Yi occupy a training room with a mecha, the staff gritted their teeth but couldn't do anything.
After all, both rooms were Xia Yi's.
Xia Yi had the right to dispose of them.
It must be said that Shrek Academy's training rooms were quite good.
Because of Leng Yaozhu, Xia Yi and Gu Yue had trained in the main tower of the Spirit Pagoda.
To be honest, the training rooms there were slightly better than Shrek Academy's.
But for Xia Yi, both rooms were fine.
At present, Xia Yi mainly focused on training spiritual attributes and ice attributes.
He was working on Fox Mind Techniques and Absolute Zero.
Once they entered the spiritual attribute training room, Xia Yi immediately felt powerful mental pressure on him. Under this pressure, his mental power instantly became more active.
Sensing the fluctuation in Xia Yi's mental energy, Gu Yue said with a hint of jealousy, "At your current rate of mental power growth, by the time you reach the fourth ring, your mental power will definitely enter the spiritual abyss realm."
Gu Yue was the expert in spiritual power. To cultivate her spiritual energy, she had done many things. The last time she took five-thousand-year-old Spirit Nourishing Vine from Xia Yi, it was to boost her spiritual power.
But even then, her mental growth was still similar to Xia Yi's.
Currently, Gu Yue's soul power was at level 38, and she was very close to the 40th level.
She had a good chance of entering the spiritual abyss realm when she reached the fourth ring.
But that was with the help of many rare resources.
As for Xia Yi, he basically hadn't used any rare resources.
Even if he had consumed a lot of rare resources, such as the spirit wine, it mainly helped him evolve the ice attribute fox tail, not his cultivation or mental energy.
As for his cultivation, Xia Yi didn't dare to boast too much, though he could refine resentment into soul power.
But when it came to mental energy, Xia Yi could confidently say that his spiritual power had been developed through normal cultivation.
Now, Xia Yi's soul power had broken through level 34. He didn't want to level up too quickly and took time to refine each level.
He had done the same when he was at East Sea Academy.
If he had used every means to increase his soul power, he would probably already be at Soul Emperor rank by now.
Today, he came to the training room with Gu Yue to further refine his soul power and work on his mental power.
