160: Chapter 16 This is Prejudice, City of Angels

"His combat power is truly terrifying, and his promotion speed is extremely fast!"

"Yeah, I also watched his battle footage. He single-handedly tore through the M Country's team. His combat power is truly in a league of its own..."

The elders from the Sparkle Sanctuary and the Kunlun Sanctuary nodded, acknowledging Zhou Bai's formidable strength.

"However, he is, after all, a graduate from a vocational college, and his mind is full of thoughts about 'branching out and spreading leaves' (procreating). I feel these are major demerits. If our Four Great Sanctuaries were to recruit such a prodigy, I'm afraid our reputation would be affected!"

Elder Zhao Kong of the Profound Heaven Sanctuary pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Indeed, and with such a rapid promotion speed, who knows if he used some method that drains his potential? His awakening ceremony initially only showed a common double S-grade talent. For him to become this strong now is definitely suspicious!"

Elder Lin Gu of the Kunlun Sanctuary yawned and then said.

"Elder Lin Gu, that's a bit rash. Perhaps this young man truly possesses exceptionally powerful talent, and there was just an error in the detection? It's not like detection errors have never happened before!"

"Moreover, it's also possible his talent is of a growth type and was already very powerful, just slowly maturing..."

Elder Li Shu from the Sparkle Sanctuary nearby frowned upon hearing Lin Gu's words.

"Heh, since you think so highly of him, why doesn't your Sparkle Sanctuary take him in!"

Lin Gu chuckled, his gaze fixed intently on Li Shu.

"If he's willing to join, of course I would accept him!"

Li Shu said plainly, completely ignoring Lin Gu's mocking expression.

"Are you serious? This Zhou Bai, though he appears talented and strong, truly seems a bit off. If they hadn't failed to detect any traces of a cult on him, I'd have thought he was a cult follower!"

Lin Gu frowned slightly and continued.

"Lin Gu, Zhou Bai performed so outstandingly in the World Martial Tournament, winning so much benefit for our Xia Country. Even if you don't think highly of him, there's no need to speak like this, is there?"

Seeing Lin Gu's words becoming increasingly excessive, Li Shu finally couldn't hold back and said in a deep voice.

"Is there a problem with me stating my true thoughts?"

Lin Gu said indifferently.

"This is prejudice!"

Li Shu frowned and said.

"Call it prejudice if you want!"

Lin Gu spread his hands, completely unconcerned with Li Shu's words.

"Alright, alright, there's no need to ruin the friendship between our great sanctuaries over a mere vocational college graduate!"

Zhao Kong nearby hurriedly stopped the two's argument.

The two snorted coldly, said no more, and continued looking at the information of those top prodigies on the screen.

Not only were there contestants from the World Martial Tournament, but among the many universities there were other promising seedlings, and within some top families, there were also exceptionally talented and powerful prodigy martial artists.

"I think this Ling Family's Ling Xiao is pretty good. Although still a freshman, with a top-tier SS-grade Dark talent, plus an S-grade Gravity talent..."

At this moment, Lin Gu saw Ling Xiao's information above and his eyes lit up.

"Then Ling Xiao can be yours, Ye Wushang will belong to our Sparkle Sanctuary!"

Li Shu said plainly.

"Impossible. We can't decide about Ye Wushang. We agreed we'd present him with conditions and let him choose. He's the only SSS-grade talent from the World Martial Tournament, and from the Ye family. How could he just be given to you!"

Lin Gu said coldly...

"Then this Mu Qinghuang, our Sparkle Sanctuary wants her!"

Li Shu continued.

Lin Gu looked at the information on the screen, thought for a moment, and then said, "I have no objection!"

After Lin Gu agreed, Li Shu looked at Zhao Kong beside him.

"Fine, I'll take that Qin Hao!"

Zhao Kong then said.

The three of them nodded, confirming their first recruitment choice.

Next, the few of them continued looking at the information on the screen. Although Ye Wushang was excellent and they all wanted him, there was only one Ye Wushang, and they still needed other alternatives...

...

Profound Yellow Fortress, Secret Realm Exit.

The contestants of the World Martial Tournament were all gathered at the exit, waiting for it to open.

Zhou Bai, Mu Qinghuang, and the others stood behind Mentor Ouyang Hong, their eyes fixed on a vortex ahead.

The vortex was slowly swirling, seemingly connected to an unknown realm.

"Zhou Bai, I remember you. The humiliation from this World Martial Tournament, I will definitely get it back!"

After the exit opened, M Country's Eva Green suddenly came before Zhou Bai, her gaze fixed intently on him as she spoke, her tone extremely resolute.

However, there seemed to be a faint, elusive strangeness in the depths of her eyes, and a flush appeared on her face that had never been there before.

After speaking, Eva Green quickly turned and left, exiting through the portal and leaving the Ancient God Secret Realm.

"Hmph, that little girl, eliminated effortlessly by White God, yet still talking about getting back humiliation. Utterly shameless boasting!"

Zhou Bai didn't speak; Xu Xiu beside him opened his mouth, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Their M Country's Aaron Helens was dealt with. Her? She'd need another ten thousand years of training..."

"Don't underestimate her. I heard this Eva Green has already been accepted as a core member by M Country's City of Angels. Her future is limitless!"

At this moment, Ye Wushang nearby spoke slowly, his gaze somewhat grave as he watched the departing Eva Green.

"City of Angels? That person actually joined the City of Angels, and as a core member?"

Hearing Ye Wushang's words, Xu Xiu's expression changed slightly.

The City of Angels is M Country's top-tier supernatural organization, possessing multiple god-level supernaturals and wields immense influence across Blue Star.

Among the many top-tier forces in various countries on Blue Star, it is indisputably ranked number one.

"No wonder she's so arrogant!"

Xu Xiu couldn't help but exclaim.

The other Xia Country contestants around also wore strange expressions. The City of Angels was actually recruiting disciples, and had directly accepted Eva Green as a core disciple.

This was completely unprecedented...

"This Eva Green only has a common SS-grade Light talent. Even Aaron Helens didn't directly become an ordinary member of the City of Angels. How does this Eva Green qualify to directly become a core member..."

Ling Xiao, not far away, also said in shock.

"Could it be that this Eva Green also has more than one talent?"

Zhou Bai thought to himself.

During their battle, Zhou Bai used his divine sense to probe and discovered that besides the Light Element, Eva Green possessed another exceptionally obscure power.

Initially, Zhou Bai thought it might be a treasure she carried or a secret technique she practiced.

But now it seemed this Eva Green was also likely a dual-talent, and her other talent was probably not simple.
