Divine fortune teller and traditional Chinese medicine doctor

When Li Mu said he would give the table owner a 10-stroke handicap, the crowd erupted in excitement once again.

However, there are not many people now speaking out to ridicule and question Li Mu.

Who dares to laugh at a master who just achieved a 147 break?

However, some people felt that Li Mu was being too arrogant, saying he would give the table owner ten strokes.

After all, the players who can guard the table here are all top snooker players hired by the boss at high salaries.

The owner of this challenge table is a retired professional player who reportedly once reached the top five in a city-level snooker championship.

Li Mu's tit-for-tat retort naturally made the middle-aged stage owner feel very embarrassed. Wasn't this a public humiliation?

"Sir, I admit you do have some skill. But to become so arrogant just because you got lucky and made a 147 break is a bit too much, isn't it?"

The stage owner twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with anger as he asked.

"Hmph, let's see how arrogant you are! Come on, you tee off first, then you hit ten shots in a row, whether you score or not, I'll let you hit ten shots in a row."

Li Mu snorted and raised his hand toward the pool table.

Clearly, he wasn't joking; he meant to give them ten bars.

"Third Brother, this old man is too arrogant! Let's take him down!"

The host of the third challenge platform couldn't stand it anymore and shouted directly at the middle-aged, obese host.

"That's right! Third Brother, this old man is purely here to challenge us! We must defeat him and save face for us!"

The young stage owner, who had just been humiliated by Li Mu, shouted indignantly.

"Boss, they've given you a ten-stroke handicap, aren't you afraid to hit it?"

"Yes! The old man is almost 70 years old. If you can't even hit a ten-pointer when I give you a handicap, how will you manage to play table tennis in the future?"

"Let's get going! If we can't beat them after a ten-stroke handicap, it'll be too embarrassing!"

……

Some onlookers, eager for drama, started to provoke and stir up trouble.

They were worried that the host wouldn't dare to accept the challenge, and the exciting storyline wouldn't unfold.

The middle-aged table tennis owner could no longer tolerate this. He rolled up his sleeves, glared at Li Mu, and said, "Fine! I don't need you to give me a ten-stroke handicap. I'll clear the table in one stroke! I'll show you what professional level is! Who tees off first isn't up to you either. We'll either have a game of ball control or draw lots!"

"Okay, let's keep it simple and draw lots!"

Li Mu nodded.

So, the beautiful referee took out a lottery box, and the two drew lots. As a result, Li Mu kicked off first.

Snapped!

Just like before, the white cue ball, once hit, directly shattered the pile of red balls.

However, this time, no balls went into the pocket.

"Holy crap! Is this how you break up a snooker game using the black 8?"

"What's going on? Does this old man even know how to play?"

……

Some people in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't rush, that's how that old man teed off, then cleared the table in one shot, 147!"

"That's right, but this time, the old man was a bit unlucky; he didn't pocket the red ball, giving his opponent an opportunity!"

……

Someone immediately spoke up to explain.

"Hmph, trying to get lucky with that trick? Too bad, you're not so lucky this time! Old man, now I'll show you what a professional is!"

Seeing that Li Mu hadn't potted a single red ball at the start of the game, the table owner sneered smugly.

The current situation on the table is very favorable for him; he can play many red balls, and given his skill level, he should be able to clear the table in one shot without any surprises.

As the host spoke, he immediately aimed at a red ball near the middle pocket and began to hit it.

Snapped!

However, the red ball was hit but didn't go in!

It just bumped against the edge of the bag and bounced back.

Immediately, the scene erupted in uproar.

It would be difficult for an amateur player not to pot that red ball!

The table owner was also dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at the red ball and then at the cue stick in his hand.

He himself couldn't believe that he hadn't scored.

He felt that he must have been humiliated by the old man, which made him agitated and caused his movements to become distorted.

The worst thing you can do in billiards is to be emotionally unstable and impatient, otherwise you are likely to underperform.

Little did he know that Li Mu had secretly used a teleportation technique to subtly alter the red ball's trajectory!

"It's okay, it's okay, you can keep playing! I said I'd give you a ten-point advantage!"

Li Mu sat in a chair, drinking water as he spoke to the bewildered stage manager.

"Hmph, my hand slipped just now! Let's try again!"

Faced with Li Mu's humiliation, the stage master was completely enraged. He didn't care about anything else; what he wanted to do most now was to defeat this arrogant old man!

So he continued to strike the ball.

Snapped!

However, to his surprise, he missed the second shot!

clap clap clap!

He refused to believe it and took eight more shots in a row, but he didn't make a single one!

When he missed his tenth shot, he was on the verge of a breakdown.

"What kind of professional level is this?! It's even more amateur than an amateur!"

"Yeah, how can such a rookie be allowed to run the station? It's unbelievable!"

"This host must have lost his mind, otherwise he couldn't be this bad."

……

This middle-aged host became the laughingstock of the entire audience.

No one knew that, under Li Mu's secret manipulation using teleportation techniques, let alone ten strokes, even if he hit a hundred, he wouldn't be able to score a single point.

After the stage host dejectedly stepped down, Li Mu made his move.

clap clap clap!

He cleared the table with a clean and decisive shot, and once again achieved a break of 147!

"Wow! That's awesome! Another 147 break!"

"Holy crap! That's amazing! Absolutely amazing!"

"Yes, if a single 147 break is a matter of luck, but two in a row, that's pure skill!"

"Two consecutive 147 breaks—even the world champion Rocket couldn't do that!"

"This old man is the legendary reclusive master from the martial arts world!"

……

Li Mu's extraordinary performance drew gasps of amazement from the onlookers.

Ding!

Amidst everyone's envious gazes, Li Mu received another 20,000 yuan reward.

"Waiter, I want to continue the challenge!"

After receiving the reward, Li Mu spoke to the waiter.

Since there's no limit to the number of challenges here, why not pick up the money if you have it?

Besides, there's another platform owner who said he'd make him lose one hand, and he hasn't been taught a lesson yet!

"Hey! Sir, football legend! Please, have mercy and stop challenging us! We're just a small business, we can't afford your disruption!"

At this moment, a lobby manager in a suit squeezed through the crowd and said to Li Mu with a pleading expression.

Li Mu blinked, thinking that it was best to stop now, since the manager had already begged for mercy, and continuing the challenge would likely offend people.

He was already quite content to have earned 40,000 so easily.

"Alright, tell those station managers not to look down on the elderly! They need to learn to respect them!"

Li Mu gave up on continuing the challenge and deliberately spoke loudly to the manager, also wanting the three stage owners to hear him.

"Okay, okay! Thank you for your kindness!"

The manager quickly clasped his hands together and nodded in response.

"Sir, please wait a moment!"

Just a few steps after Li Mu walked out of the billiard hall, a voice came from behind him.

He turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a tall, pretty young girl walking towards him.

"What do you want?" Li Mu asked.

"Sir, we are from the Qianlong City Billiards Association. My name is Xu Hui, and I am the vice president of the association. Her name is Lü Xiaomeng, and she is a member of our association."

The middle-aged man walked up to Li Mu and introduced him with a smile.

Li Mu sized up the other party while secretly circulating his Guiyuan spiritual energy to perform divination.

The upper and lower trigrams are both Qian, which represents heaven. The Qian trigram refers to people, usually those in government agencies, and also represents integrity.

At the same time, Qian represents heaven, and heaven is round and earth is square. The image of Qian hexagram usually refers to round or spherical objects, such as billiards.

After interpreting the divination, Li Mu was able to confirm that the other party was not lying and was indeed a member of the billiards association.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Li Mu asked, his hands behind his back.

In fact, he could basically figure out from the divination results what they wanted from him.
