120: Chapter 12: No resentment, simple weakness.

Ye Wushang also looked deeply at Zhou Bai, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

"Hmph, this kid, hiding such a strong ability, he really doesn't consider us as one of his own at all!"

Wang Tianba looked at Zhou Bai in the distance and said coldly.

"Classmate Zhou Bai didn't know before that his Thunder Power could purify the violent qi and blood energy within the beast cores. He only discovered it after going out with me to hunt fierce beasts and absorb their core energy!"

At this moment, Chu Lingyan spoke up, her tone extremely calm.

"That's still his fault, insisting on going to the Ancient God Secret Realm so late, wasting so much time!"

Wang Tianba said coldly.

"Tianba, enough. Zhou Bai is also one of our Xia Country's prodigies. He must have his own considerations for doing this!"

Ye Wushang said lightly, stopping Wang Tianba.

Chu Lingyan looked at the people before her, a hint of detachment appearing in her eyes.

Although they were all prodigies, each had their own pride, and would absolutely not bow their head to anyone, nor would they feel they were in the wrong...

"Alright, let's go ask Zhou Bai to help purify the violent qi and blood energy within us first!"

At this time, Gu Yu also spoke, eager to purify the violent qi and blood energy and then enhance his own strength.

Without hesitation, everyone immediately walked towards Zhou Bai in the distance.

"Zhou Bai, help us purify the violent qi and blood energy!"

Upon reaching Zhou Bai's side, Wang Tianba hurriedly said to him, his tone extremely urgent.

"Yes, Classmate Zhou Bai, the World Martial Arts Tournament is still ongoing. Quickly help us purify it so we can enhance our strength as soon as possible to better deal with the tournament!"

Liu Yu, beside Wang Tianba, also spoke up.

"Five sixth-tier fierce beast cores per person, go queue up!"

Zhou Bai didn't even look at them as he said indifferently.

"Zhou Bai, what do you mean? We have to pay beast cores and still queue up?"

Hearing Zhou Bai's words, Wang Tianba's face turned extremely ugly, as if he'd been struck by lightning.

He stared fiercely at Zhou Bai, the qi and blood energy in his body surging, emitting a powerful oppressive aura.

"Classmate Zhou Bai, I know you hold resentment in your heart, but the World Martial Arts Tournament is of great importance. Don't let your emotions get the better of you; consider the bigger picture!"

Mu Qinghuang frowned slightly, then said to Zhou Bai.

Mu Qinghuang hadn't expected things to develop to this point. Zhou Bai was clearly one of Xia Country's prodigies, a member of their World Martial Arts Tournament team, yet now things had become so unpleasant.

"I have no resentment. It's just that everyone has to queue. Letting you go first now would be unfair to those currently in line!"

Zhou Bai slowly raised his head, looking calmly at Mu Qinghuang and the others.

Seeing Zhou Bai's calm, emotionless gaze, a deep wave of turmoil rose in Mu Qinghuang's heart.

Zhou Bai truly held no resentment at all; he was simply treating them calmly as people who needed their violent qi and blood energy pacified.

The surrounding Wang Tianba and others also had a change in expression. Zhou Bai was too arrogant...

"Let's go, we'll queue up."

After a long silence, Ye Wushang said to his teammates beside him.

The group gave Zhou Bai a deep look, then went to the back of the line to queue.

Xu Xiu watched the conflict between Zhou Bai and Ye Wushang's group, wanting to speak but holding back, ultimately remaining silent.

"Forget it, things have come to this; it's no longer something I can influence."

Xu Xiu didn't dwell on it further and continued helping Zhou Bai maintain order.

Zhou Bai, meanwhile, remained completely unaffected, continuing to collect beast cores and help the various ability users purify the violent qi and blood energy within their bodies.

"Wow, is the conflict between Xia Country's Thunder Kid and those other Xia Country contestants this intense? They even have to queue and pay beast cores for this kind of thing..."

"Hahaha, serves them right. Those Xia Country contestants are all so arrogant, looking down on the Thunder Kid..."

"Xia Country's prospects for this World Martial Arts Tournament are looking bleak, having such a powerful contestant at odds with them..."

"Sigh, originally Xia Country had such a great situation, what a pity..."

The other ability users around, seeing the conflict between Zhou Bai and the other contestants, all whispered among themselves.

In the distance, Aaron Helens, who was also purifying violent qi and blood energy for many ability users, watched the scene with a strange expression.

Clearly, the conflict between Zhou Bai and Ye Wushang's group was beyond his expectations.

The other M Country contestants around Aaron Helens were also slightly taken aback.

"People from Xia Country are indeed too arrogant. At a time like this, they still quibble over such matters. How could they possibly stand against us like this!"

They said.

"Aaron, maybe we can think of a way to turn that Thunder Kid to our side!"

At this moment, Eva Green, who had just come outside to help Aaron purify the qi and blood energy, had a flash of interest in her eyes, then said.

"Don't waste time on that. Those from Xia Country can't be turned. Even though they fight fiercely among themselves, at times like this, they won't betray their country!!"

Aaron said slowly.

"Better to focus on earning beast cores and then strive to break through to the sixth rank!"

Hearing Aaron's words, Eva dismissed her own idea, but looked thoughtfully at Zhou Bai, lost in contemplation.

"Xia Country's Thunder Kid actually has such a method as well. Xia Country's luck is truly astonishing!"

Atop the palace of the Sakura Country in the Xuanhuang Fortress, Yamashita Tetsuya looked at Zhou Bai purifying the violent qi and blood energy in the distance, his eyes filled with astonishment.

The other Sakura Country World Martial Arts Tournament contestants around him also had a faint, envious glint in their eyes.

This ability was practically heaven-defying within the Ancient God Secret Realm. It could wash away that violent qi and blood energy, allowing their country's contestants to improve their strength at an even more rapid pace.

It was a foundational ability that could truly decide everything.

Aaron Helens had previously said he could help them purify as well, but the number of sixth-tier fierce beast cores required was too high—a full 100 cores. This staggering number completely dashed their hopes.

However, they could understand. After all, the World Martial Arts Tournament was still ongoing. Aaron Helens didn't want to boost the strength of his competitors, which was reasonable.

"By the way, wasn't there intelligence before saying this guy is quite fond of women?"

After a while, Yamashita Tetsuya seemed to remember something and asked the team members around him.

"Yes, Yamashita-san. That Zhou Bai even refused recruitment from their top Xia Country universities for the sake of a woman!"

A team member beside him quickly replied.

"Fond of women, huh? I never expected this guy to have such a simple weakness!"

Yamashita Tetsuya became thoughtful.

Then, Yamashita Tetsuya shifted his gaze to the pure and stunningly beautiful Hashimoto Kana beside him.
