After Fraser called out the number, his eyes remained fixed on Leo. When he saw the number on the ground and the leaves, his eyes squinted involuntarily.
Leo sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. His hands rested on his knees, with all five fingers moving simultaneously to perform a divination technique.
“This guy… is he using King’s Sacred Hexagram?” Fraser muttered under his breath. He felt increasingly uneasy and hoped that Leo would hurry up.
There was also an element of cleverness involved – he used Fraser’s reported number to narrow down possibilities before performing his own calculations through divining technique.
Fraser regretted not having asked Leo about weight first because now it seemed too late.
“Look! The leaves on the ground!” A sharp-eyed villager shouted out first.
Everyone quickly looked towards where he pointed – they saw six leaves shaking as if there were vibration motors installed underneath them!
At this moment, there was not even a slight breeze, and even if there was, it was blocked by layers of people. Therefore, the movement of the leaves couldn’t have been caused by the wind.
Leo, who had been squinting his eyes, opened them wide and shook his head as he watched the trembling leaves on the ground.
Leo stopped moving his hands, and the six leaves on the ground stopped trembling as well.
Leo took the chalk again and wrote a 100 after the number 11. He placed another leaf on top of the number 100.
Activating his Spiritual Power, Leo moved his hands again, using the divination method of King’s Sacred Hexagrams to make a divination.
Soon, the leaves on the ground started trembling again.
However, this time, only one leaf trembled-the one placed on the number 100.
Leo understood in his heart. He stood up from the ground, then loudly announced a number, “50 kilograms!”
Upon hearing this number, the crowd was initially stunned, but then burst into laughter.
“50 kilograms! This is just a small tree, not a towering one. How could the leaves weigh 50 kilograms? Is this young man crazy?”
“He’s pretending to be a fortune-teller. Even a five or six-year-old child would know that the leaves definitely don’t weigh 50 kilograms!”
“If the pile of leaves weighs 50 kilograms, I’ll eat them all! Can’t he guess a more sensible number? He’s just exaggerating!”
After Leo announced the weight, not only did the villagers start discussing it, but even Antonio couldn’t help but doubt if Leo had lost his mind.
On the other hand, Leo had the expression of a victor on his face, making people suspect that he suddenly went mad.
Fraser’s previous frustration vanished completely. It seemed that he had worried too much before. The King’s Sacred Holy Hexagrams were nothing more than a show.
Fraser withdrew his gaze from Leo and instructed Bentley to arrange for the villagers to bag the leaves and weigh them.
With the combined efforts of three or four villagers, the leaves were quickly collected and filled an entire sack.
Although it looked large, everyone knew that the leaves weren’t heavy. The sack probably weighed around 5 kilograms.
Seeing the sack of leaves, Fraser was in a good mood. The next part of the plot was basically determined.
The sack was put on the scale, and Leo would lose this round. Then, Fraser would plan to negotiate with him, either to kneel in front of the White family ancestral temple and declare himself a fraud or reveal the information in the White family’s ancient geomancy book.
As long as he obtained the complete ancient geomancy book of the White family, his cultivation would undoubtedly reach a new level. By then, he would have a place not only in White Orchid Village but even in the entire state.
At this moment, a villager who supported Fraser shouted, “What’s the point of this? Just by estimating with your hands, you know it’s absolutely impossible for it to weigh 50 kilograms. Just admit defeat!”
Leo ignored this statement, his face smiling as he looked at Fraser.
Fraser waved his hand and said, “Put it on the scale!”
The villager who had been in charge of the leaves before received the command. When he tried to lift the sack, he couldn’t even raise it.
The villager showed a puzzled expression and changed from lifting to hugging the sack, but even with all his strength, he could only lift it a little.
“Useless! Two people lift it together!”
Bentley held a deep contempt in his heart for the villager who lifted the sack. He thought to himself, “All talk and no action, just a meathead who looks impressive but is useless.”
Another villager stepped forward, gripping the four corners of the sack along with the previous villager, one on each side. They exerted their strength simultaneously, but on the first attempt, they couldn’t lift it at all.
The two villagers exchanged surprised glances, unable to comprehend how a sack of leaves could be so heavy.
They exchanged another look, took a deep breath, and lifted the sack together. Finally, they placed it on the platform scale.
It was clear to see that the scale’s pointer rose due to the weight.
Fraser wasn’t blind; he realized that the sack was abnormally heavy, and his heart skipped a beat.
Once the sack was on the scale, the villager responsible for weighing it began adding weights.
First, they added a 5-kilogram weight, but it didn’t push the pointer down.
They added a 10-kilogram weight, but it still had no effect.
The villager exclaimed in surprise. Based on his experience, he removed the 5-kilogram and 10-kilogram weights, directly replacing them with a 50-kilogram weight.
The pointer on the scale slowly descended and stopped in the middle, indicating that the weight of the leaves in the sack was precisely 50 kilograms.
The villager announced the result, and it was like dropping a bombshell. The onlooking villagers couldn’t believe their eyes and ears.
“How is this possible? Unless the entire sack is made of iron, there’s no way it could weigh 50 kilograms!”
“Could the scale be broken?”
“That’s impossible. This scale is from the Elderly Oasis Center, known for its fairness and accuracy!”
“No wonder they struggled so much when lifting it earlier. It’s truly miraculous.”
