Chapter 1000: Chapter 1003: Phantom Hand

Zhang Runhao was very curious about Qin Tian winning against Sun Yuncai in mahjong.

Seeing this guy looking at him with an innocent face, Qin Tian laughed and asked Zhang Runhao back, ”Do you think I can beat Sun Yuncai at mahjong?”

”No way.”

Zhang Runhao said decisively, ”Mahjong is a highly skilled game, and I’ve never seen you play before. Suddenly playing against the Mahjong God and winning so much, how is that possible...”

Zhang Runhao pouted, ”So, Master, I think you must have been cheating.”

This was Zhang Runhao’s guess. However, he had been sitting next to Qin Tian the entire afternoon watching him play mahjong, and except for occasionally noticing Qin Tian’s speed in handling the tiles, he didn’t see anything unusual.

But handling mahjong tiles quickly doesn’t seem to have anything to do with cheating!

Zhang Runhao couldn’t figure it out, ”Master, come on, tell me, how did you crush Sun Yuncai?”

Qin Tian laughed loudly, ”Considering you’re my disciple, I’ll teach you this trick.”

”Speed, it’s purely speed.”

Qin Tian said, ”You might not have actually seen how I play mahjong. Haha, actually, every time I draw a tile, I look at the two or three tiles next to it and choose the one I want the most. Haha, tell me, who could beat me like this?”

”You look at two or three tiles? How, how is that possible...”

Hearing Qin Tian’s explanation, Zhang Runhao was stunned, ”That’s not possible, I didn’t see anything unusual about you.”

Qin Tian said, ”That’s why it’s a matter of speed.”

”My technique can almost be described as using the Phantom Hand method. When reaching for a tile, as soon as my palm touches it, I simultaneously glance at the tiles underneath or nearby, and instantly decide which one I need, then draw it back directly.”

”Of course, this whole process doesn’t take more than 1.5 seconds, so most people can’t see it. Not to mention, Sun Yuncai is so old, his eyesight is failing.”

After Qin Tian finished speaking, Zhang Runhao was silent, quietly watching him.

”Master, can you really do that?”

Zhang Runhao could hardly believe it because even young people like himself, with some martial arts background, couldn’t see through it!

”Haha, it’s called the Phantom Hand. Haha, I made up the name, but it’s quite fitting. You don’t believe it?”

Seeing Zhang Runhao dumbfounded, jaw-dropping, Qin Tian picked up chopsticks, looked at the dry pot on the table, pointed with the chopsticks at a piece of tripe in the pot, and said, ”Watch, I’ll pick up this piece of tripe and put it in your bowl!”

Whoosh!

As soon as Qin Tian finished speaking, he quickly reached out with the chopsticks towards the pot!

Zhang Runhao only saw Qin Tian extend his arm into the pot, and then he saw the piece of tripe that was originally in the pot suddenly disappeared without a trace!

It was directly in his bowl!

And the whole process, Zhang Runhao completely missed!

”Hiss!”

Seeing Qin Tian’s live performance, Zhang Runhao sharply sucked in a breath, ”Master, this... this... I have to learn this Phantom Hand, it’s amazing!”

”You can learn it, but with your current reaction and flexibility, you definitely can’t achieve this. You need to first practice your reaction and flexibility. Let’s start with this: practice catching falling leaves under a tree. As a leaf falls, use two fingers to catch it without letting any other part of your hand touch the leaf. Once you can do it flawlessly, I’ll teach you more advanced skills.”

This time, Qin Tian was seriously teaching Zhang Runhao. Catching leaves is indeed the most common method to train reaction speed.

However, after hearing this, Zhang Runhao didn’t take it seriously, ”That’s so simple? Master, I can do that right now.”

”Haha, don’t be too sure. Many things that seem simple are actually more complicated than you think,” Qin Tian laughed.

”I’m serious. If you don’t believe me, I can show you right here.”

Saying this, Zhang Runhao got excited, ”Anyway, we’ve finished eating, I’ll pay first, Master, wait for me. In a little while, we’ll go to the roadside to practice, and I’ll show you my reaction speed.”

Zhang Runhao, confident, stood up to settle the bill, and then with Qin Tian, moved to a quiet side of the road, standing under a large tree near a streetlamp.

At this moment, the evening breeze was blowing, occasionally causing leaves to fall from the tree.

Zhang Runhao confidently said to Qin Tian, ”Master, watch carefully. I’ll definitely catch the next falling leaf.”

Qin Tian smiled without saying a word.

Whoosh whoosh!

A gust of evening wind swept by, shaking the branches of the tree, and three leaves fell at once.

Zhang Runhao quickly focused, staring at the first leaf to fall, his right hand’s middle and index fingers ready. As the leaf was about to fall in front of him, he suddenly thrust out his right hand, fingers aimed precisely, caught up with the leaf in advance!

Unfortunately, he was so confident, but didn’t even manage to touch the leaf with two fingers before it landed on the ground!

”Hiss... how could this happen... how could this happen...”

Seeing his own failure, Zhang Runhao grinned awkwardly, glanced at Qin Tian, and scratched his head, ”Cough cough, Master, that was a bit unexpected. Let me try again, I’ll perform for you again.”

”Sure, keep going, you continue.”

Qin Tian smiled lightly.

Zhang Runhao could only awkwardly press his lips together and then gather his twelve points of strength, waiting for the next leaf to fall.

Again, a breeze blew, leaves fell in pieces...

This time, putting all his effort into performing well in front of Qin Tian, Zhang Runhao, still as proud as heaven, tried catching leaves over a dozen times but didn’t manage to catch a single one.

Now that was embarrassing.

Zhang Runhao turned to look at Qin Tian, bewildered.

”That’s not right, Master, I feel like the leaves are falling so slowly, why can’t I catch them?”

Zhang Runhao looked at Qin Tian puzzledly.

Qin Tian laughed, ”If you’re in a place without wind, then catching falling leaves from a large tree is still relatively easy.”

”However, this is a ginkgo tree, the leaves are small, they fall quickly, and there’s constant wind at night. To catch them, your eye power and reaction speed need to keep up. Hehe, Runhao, you should practice more in these environments. Once you’re good at it, I’ll teach you more advanced martial arts.”

Qin Tian, with his hands behind his back, really had the look of a master.

”Okay, I’ll start practicing this from now on.”

Just as Zhang Runhao said this, Qin Tian’s phone rang. It was Murong Fei calling.

Qin Tian answered the phone, only to hear Murong Fei on the other end with an urgent tone, her voice sounding different!
