"What's there to hide?"

Guo Youwei leisurely picked up the tea beside him:

"Our Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall has always been above board and open. We do not hide things away nor hoard geniuses in fear of people knowing about them."

This time, everyone else was genuinely surprised.

"Is he really from the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall?"

"A Mentalist Awakening, how could it have been kept so quiet? Not even a hint of news leaked out?"

At this moment.

Zeng Zhan slapped his forehead: "I knew the odds of Qin Mu on the betting market were off, but when I saw that the largest fund behind it was from the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, I didn't investigate further. Never had I thought that he would be from your Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall!

Ling Qianxue's betting channel was naturally the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance.

Her capital was the largest, so even if Zeng Zhan had doubts, he wouldn't investigate thoroughly.

After all, it was an insider from the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance, not some outsider. If a real investigation were to happen, that would only bring internal unpleasantness.

But who would have thought?

The one who placed the most bets wasn't the power in possession of Genius?

Bai Qingyan stared at the screen. After a moment, even her expression became serious.

"Supervisor Guo is really good at hiding things!"

"Look at this young man, his psionic power is strong, and his operation of Flying Blades is skilled, too. Both Flying Blades can attack with full power."

"Apprentice Eighth Level, no! Definitely Ninth Level!"

"Compared to Addressing Bai Qiuye, he's only slightly inferior. Looking at how skilled he is, he might even have reserves of strength left ~"

"Good! Really well hidden!!!"

An Apprentice Ninth Level Mentalist capable of using two Flying Blades at full power—how could such a Genius be hidden?

It's simply outrageous!

In the eyes of the various powers in Jiangcheng, this was even more outrageous than the appearance of a Genius itself!

Which power didn't have some intelligence channels?

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

All the other powers except Wu Zhiming clasped their hands and said with meaning:

"The Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall indeed has some depth. Ten years without making a move and when they do, profit for ten years!

"Michi kaeri ni genius mentalist sono news mo hitotsu moranai to ieru no wa Sugoi!

Pfft!

Apprentice Ninth Level?

After hearing that, he was stunned for a while; then, immediately, he spat out a mouthful of tea.

"What's going on?"

"Could Supervisor Bai have made a mistake?

Qin Mu is Apprentice Ninth Level?

He didn't say that!!!

He really didn't say that!!!

Hmm~?

The expression on Bai Qingyan's face immediately turned chilly: "Is Supervisor Guo doubting the judgment of my Myriad Sword Pavilion?

"Are you still trying to hide him?

"The video is public, and you must have signed the contract. Who can poach him now?"

Speaking honestly,

She felt a bit disdainful of such behaviour.

Too pretentious!

That's ok, you can hide him, but why do you need to be so smug about it?

Excessive!

Guo Youwei felt so wronged.

Should I say that I only tested his Mentalist Rank a few days ago, and it was at the Third Level!

Only Third Level!

Not even one level higher!!

I even asked before coming; I really asked.

I asked if Qin Mu used two Flying Blades.

Yes!

Good heavens.

Could this kid have been referring to two Flying Blades, controlled at full power?

And about his rank. well, I didn't ask!

Damn it!

It's too over-the-top!

Seven days, one level a day?

Who could have predicted that?

What the hell, what kind of concept is this?

Hiss. Guo Youwei immediately gasped.

A Genius of that caliber probably would have rivaled the likes of Bai Ming and Wu Po Xing back in the day, wouldn't he?

Terrifying!

Is the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall really about to rise now?

Everyone looked at Guo Youwei, some in envy, some in jealousy, some with hatred!

Wu Zhiming had been thoroughly tricked.

In a ring battle, if someone brings out a Genius Mentalist, will you accept the challenge?

Looking at this young man's talent, he could be comparable to Bai Qiuye. His Awakening time is still uncertain yet he has been hidden for so long, so it's possible his Awakening was even later than Bai Qiuye.

In that case, surpassing Bai Qiuye in talent is also possible.

Damn it.

How could such a Genius end up in Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall?

Thinking of this.

Suddenly, Wu Zhiming's eyes flashed: "Zeng Zhan, didn't someone from your Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance place a heavy bet on Qin Mu? Don't you have any information?

Zeng Zhan shook his head:

"Are you kidding? If I had information, would I still be sitting here?"

"A genius mentalist, our Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance would sign him even with an sss contract ~"

As for the resources to develop Mentalists, the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance probably couldn't compare to Starbreaker and Myriad Sword Pavilion.

But in the terms of money.

The Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance will never retreat!

Mentalists are the most profitable of all Geniuses-one is worth ten, perhaps even more.

Signing other Geniuses might result in a loss, but signing a Mentalist, sorry, it is nothing but huge profit!

So who is it?

Who knew about this yet still hasn't signed him?

From the funding channel, it's the Ling family.

"Ling Qianxue?"

Zeng Zhan remembered and instantly opened the list of candidates, looking at Qin Mu's information: "Indeed! Ling Qianxue and Qin Mu are from the same school, and the bet was placed by the Ling family!

This time the Ling family really suffered a big loss.

I will ask later; I can't say much now.

Bai Qingyan saw Zeng Zhan not say anything and whispered, "It's understandable if it's inconvenient to speak."

"It is true that there was someone from Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance who knew of this Mentalist but failed to secure him!"

"Two possibilities."

"First, the young man isn't interested in the money."

Everyone opened Qin Mu's profile.

It's impossible. A young man from a lower class, single-parent family with a younger sister, monthly income below 5000, and dozens of overdue payment records alone.

Hiss~

Bai Qingyan secretly clicked her tongue: "Then it's the second possibility!

"A family in the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance knew about this Mentalist, but the Mentalist's talent at that time wasn't outstanding!"

"This is the only explanation."

Everyone continued nodding.

"Indeed, indeed, Supervisor Bai's reasoning is well-founded."

"And the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance didn't leak any news, but instead, directly placed a bet. Does this mean that this Mentalist's Awakening time was very recent?"

"Look!"

"There's a school assessment record!

"One week ago, graduation assessment, Martial Artist Apprentice Fifth Level! The next day, he participated in the Martial Examination, Martial Artist Apprentice Ninth Level!

As the words fell.

Everyone was in a state of shock, with their eyes wide open.

"Holy crap!?

"Awakened seven days ago? Now a Mentalist Apprentice Ninth Level? And with two Flying Blades at full power?"

"Hiss~ Is. is this possible?"

Everyone was perplexed.

Hoo. Bai Qingyan took a shallow breath, her body slightly trembling as she said: "My grandfather's progress when he first Awakened was probably just like this ~"

Bai Qingyan's grandfather.

Bai Ming!

Strongest Mentalist of the Dragon Star!

Everyone froze for two seconds, then quickly jumped to their feet, flipped open their communicators, and sprinted out.

Wu Zhiming did the same.

A genius of such proportion, even an outrageous price and breach of contract fines would be worth it!!

A Bai Ming again!

What kind of concept is that?

Even if he can't advance to Great Grandmaster, remaining at the Dominion Grandmaster Rank would still make him one of the leading experts on Dragon Star!!

Bai Qingyan cast a glance at Guo Youwei, her gaze softening somewhat:

"So, Supervisor Guo really didn't know about this young man's talent, did you?

Pfft!!

Guo Youwei almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Why did you have to say more!?

If you didn't say it, who would know?

Guo Youwei couldn't sit still either and immediately left his seat to video call the Hall Master next door.

Now they had to add more money!

They needed to add it quickly, otherwise, he might really be poached!

One hundred times the breach of contract fee!

3 billion credit points.

This money seems to be an astronomical figure, but one can't stop real powers from being able to afford it.

Now. The Martial Examination was still ongoing. Outsiders could not intervene for seven days. It would definitely be too late for a supplementary agreement; they could only stabilize Qin Mu now. Bai Qingyan didn't leave, but opened her communicator and messaged: "Notify Addressing Bai Qiuye to make sure to find Qin Mu and bring him into the Myriad Sword Pavilion. Let him name his conditions; we will pay all the breach of contract fees!"
