318: Mentors' competition for talent

Chapter 318: Mentors Snatching People

Wu Xian curiously approached, and Liu Zihan noticed him immediately.

After all, the attention from the Sea God on Wu Xian was too dazzling; it was hard not to notice him.

“Godfather, you’ve come out of seclusion?” Liu Zihan exclaimed, joyfully stepping forward. “That True God from the Mysterious Abyss wants to invite you to join his Divine Realm system, and I’m almost driven crazy by him.”

Wu Xian nodded and smiled, observing the dim, eerie glow above with interest.

Liu Zihan immediately explained that Wu Xian was the original Scroll Master for [Investigative Department Judge – Lu Zhidao].

And so, with a hum, the eerie glow projected onto Liu Zihan immediately shifted to Wu Xian.

The azure divine light and the dim, eerie glow intertwined, the two divine lights clearly competing in secret. Their light effects surged against each other, further maximizing the special effects around Wu Xian and drawing countless contestants to stop and watch.

“Holy crap, Divine Attention! And it’s the attention of two True Gods!”

“This, this, this… is this even reasonable?”

“Who is that guy? What the hell did he do to deserve that?”

“Keep your voice down, buddy. I’ve been following him all the way from the second floor. This guy is incredibly fierce.”

“Didn’t they say that only those above the twentieth floor could possibly get Divine Attention?”

“An excellent scroll naturally gets attention earlier, just like good students in a class. After a quick quiz, the teacher generally knows what’s what.”

“That’s true, but isn’t this too early?”

“Wuwu, I can’t accept this!”

“I think I have an impression. This person is the Vice President of the Underworld Club.”

“A Scroll Master, no wonder.”

“Tsk tsk, do Scroll Masters even come to the Hero Tower for fun these days?”

“Anyway, I’ve encountered quite a few Scroll Masters along the way, and they’re all pretty strong.”

The crowd of onlookers discussed animatedly. Wu Xian curiously looked at the two Divine Attentions above his head. Before he could even speak, the two True Gods had already transitioned from mentor selection to the snatching-people phase.

Tooth of the Azure Sea: “Old ghost, isn’t it obvious he’s one of ours from the Endless Sea? Why are you joining in the fun?”

Abyssal Demon Lord: “Who says he can only be yours? Hello, young friend. I am the Abyssal Demon Lord. I heard that Undead System scroll is your work? Interested in developing in my Eerie Domain?”

“…” Tooth of the Azure Sea, “Go, go, go. Open your eyes and see that Ocean-type True Dragon next to the young friend. Aren’t you ashamed?”

“Haha,” Abyssal Demon Lord: “Why don’t you first look at that Undead System gold scroll next to the little girl?”

Tooth of the Azure Sea’s gaze shifted, and he naturally saw the extraordinary nature of [Investigative Department Judge]. “It’s indeed not bad, but I still think this Ocean-type True Dragon is more outstanding. The young friend is clearly more suited to develop in my Endless Sea.”

“Tsk~ I didn’t expect the young friend to be a versatile talent proficient in two types,” Abyssal Demon Lord also saw the extraordinary nature of the Dragon Lord. “How about this, let the young fellow choose for himself.”

Tooth of the Azure Sea agreed, “Young friend, please make your choice.”

Wu Xian’s expression was strange. Were both True Gods so self-important?

He had been refusing them all along; so, Tooth of the Azure Sea hadn’t listened at all, had he?

“I’m sorry, Junior currently has no plans in that regard.”

Wu Xian politely declined, ignoring the attention of the two True Gods, and began to cut through the monsters in this Mysterious Abyss-themed copy area, preparing to gather some death-type divine shaping factors for research.

Seeing Wu Xian refuse, Abyssal Demon Lord was clearly a bit bewildered.

“This… means he’s not choosing either?” Abyssal Demon Lord, “Young friend, are you worried about offending one of us? Don’t worry, Old Sea and I are brothers who’ve been through life and death together. Just choose with confidence.”

But Wu Xian remained unmoved, burying himself in fighting monsters, completely disregarding their Divine Attention.

“Hmm?!” Abyssal Demon Lord was perplexed.

“The young fellow has been hesitating all along,” Tooth of the Azure Sea analyzed, “Perhaps he feels the current situation is changing too much and wants to observe a bit longer?”

Abyssal Demon Lord: “So young, yet he thinks so far ahead. I like him even more.”

“Old ghost, I’m serious with you. I want this person. You should know how much an Ocean-type True Dragon means to me.” Tooth of the Azure Sea changed his joking tone, suddenly becoming serious.

“Of course, I know that,” Abyssal Demon Lord couldn’t help but feel conflicted, “But that Judge is really too suitable to help me. You also know how busy I am over there right now. With the Judge’s approach, it can lighten a lot of my workload.”

Tooth of the Azure Sea was silent for a moment, “Meaning there’s nothing more to say?”

“Let’s each rely on our own abilities,” Abyssal Demon Lord said helplessly, “If it really doesn’t work, we’ll just take the divine scroll and not the person, each getting what we want.”

“That’s not a bad idea.” Tooth of the Azure Sea agreed.

At this moment, a fierce Undead gold scroll wielding a large iron hammer sprang out beside Wu Xian below. Dark, illusory seawater raged, turning the Eerie Domain monsters in the Eerie Domain copy upside down.

The two True Gods instantly noticed the aura of the Fish Gill General.

Both divine lights clearly paused for a moment.

Abyssal Demon Lord: “The concept for this Undead scroll is brilliant~! It would be a pity if he didn’t come to my side.”

Tooth of the Azure Sea: “Don’t be silly~ This is clearly my Ocean-type path. An Ocean-type Undead scroll, what a Genius concept!”

At this moment, the two True Gods were clearly shocked by the Fish Gill General.

The concept of combining Undead System and Ocean-type scrolls was not strange; the key was that the two could combine so ingeniously, with such harmonious overall Law 脈絡, and such high quality in terms of grade and prestige.

To put it plainly, the operation of one plus one was very common. In their various other worlds, there were many monsters with dimensional Fusion, and even monsters with three-type or four-type Fusion.

But an operation like one plus one is greater than two was very rare.

And the foundation was so good.

“So, the question is, how should this scroll be divided?” Tooth of the Azure Sea.

Abyssal Demon Lord: “Naturally, it’s more suitable to come to my side. This scroll is clearly still primarily Undead System.”

Tooth of the Azure Sea: “It’s clearly primarily my Ocean-type, alright?”

Abyssal Demon Lord: “Where do you get Undead creatures in your Endless Sea?”

Tooth of the Azure Sea: “Where do you get fish creatures in your Eerie Domain?”

“Heh~” Abyssal Demon Lord: “My Eerie Domain actually has quite a few flower, bird, fish, and insect-type Undead creatures, and quite a lot of them too.”

Tooth of the Azure Sea: “…”

Wu Xian was busy grinding monsters and rushing through floors, secretly chuckling in his heart.

That’s right, he did it on purpose.

After all, the Fish Gill General wasn’t really suitable for this Mysterious Abyss-themed copy area.

The moment the two divine lights met, he thought of the Fish Gill General, this special existence, and wanted to see how the two True Gods would evaluate him.

Facts proved that the Fish Gill General’s charm was indeed undeniable.

Listening to the two True Gods bicker by his ear felt quite interesting.

Anyway, low-level speed-farming wasn’t difficult or particularly meaningful; it was purely for entertainment.

It was rare to be able to talk to a few True Gods; perhaps he could take the opportunity to inquire about something.

“How about inviting the Emperor Spirit of the Void from the Elf Realm as well?”

Wu Xian’s eyes flickered. These first Three True Gods had simultaneously attained godhood, clearly forming a group. He would just arrange a gathering for them.

At this moment, the two True Gods were still closely watching Wu Xian’s subsequent performance.

With the double divine light attached to him, Wu Xian undoubtedly became the most dazzling person on the entire field.
