When it came to teaching disciples, Hong of the Limit Martial Hall stood unrivaled worldwide. He had the greatest number of Councilor-level powerhouses under his command, and his guards, such as Iceberg and Enchanting, were all immensely powerful. Other than him, there was Thor of the Thunderclap Martial Hall.

Therefore, when competing with these two Speakers to take on Zhou Hao as a disciple, these Councilors had no advantage whatsoever.

"Why hasn't the First Speaker come?" Ice Snow Emperor Hammerson asked with a somewhat gloomy expression. Compared to the other Speakers, his advantage was undoubtedly the weakest. Zhou Hao was Chinese, so his first choice would certainly be either the strongest teacher or one with the same skin color as himself. Hammerson had no advantage in either regard.

But Zhou Hao's performance had simply been too monstrous. The American government had repeatedly begged him to make Zhou Hao his disciple.

So even though he knew his chances were extremely slim, the Ice Snow Emperor had still come.

Thor smiled. "If the First Speaker came, none of you would stand a chance at all."

Upon hearing this—

The group of Councilors fell silent. They knew Thor was telling the truth. With Hong's strength and forceful nature, if he came, he would definitely take Zhou Hao as his disciple.

The title of the world's strongest was incredibly attractive to geniuses like them.

Moreover, the Limit Martial Hall possessed the most cultivation resources and treasures in the world. Things like the Ancient Civilization Gravity Room, Trial Tower, and Challenge Room had all been obtained by Hong from ruins during the Great Nirvana.

As long as they were not fools, geniuses would choose Hong as their teacher. Even the core heir geniuses of the major HR Alliance conglomerates would make the same choice.

Ice Snow Emperor caught another meaning in Thor's words. "So the First Speaker does not intend to come?"

Thor ignored Hammerson and headed straight for the training camp gates.

At that moment, many students gathered at the gates were excited and thrilled.

Hong and Thor, the world's first- and second-strongest powerhouses, were idols to every student. Being able to see their idols in person—if there had not been so many Councilor-level powerhouses present, they would have long since erupted into a frenzy.

Zhou Ying'er beside Zhou Hao was equally excited.

"Xiao Hao, Th-Thor is coming toward us!!" Seeing Thor's gaze shift toward them, Zhou Ying'er became so nervous that sweat seeped into the palm clutching Xiao Hao's hand.

Zhou Hao rolled his eyes speechlessly. He could not understand Zhou Ying'er's reaction. He was just a Planetary Level Warrior. What was there to get excited about?

Thor did not walk quickly, yet in just a few seconds, he crossed a distance of over a hundred meters and stopped before Zhou Hao and Zhou Ying'er. A gentle smile appeared on his mixed Chinese-Indian face. "Zhou Hao, are you willing to become my disciple?"

Councilors such as Jia Yi, Isadora, and the Ice Snow Emperor could only watch helplessly.

Thor said they would each rely on their own abilities to compete for Zhou Hao, but they all knew their chances had already become very small—unless Zhou Hao refused.

But that possibility...

"You can't teach me." Zhou Hao's words caught everyone by surprise.

Not only were Jia Yi and the other Councilors stunned, even Thor froze in place. The training camp students around them widened their eyes in disbelief. No matter how hard they tried, they could not imagine that Zhou Hao would not only refuse to become Thor's disciple, but would also say something so arrogant.

Thor was the world's second-strongest powerhouse, and it was said that even his physical genetic strength surpassed Hong's.

How could such a person possibly be unable to teach a four-year-old child?

Every student felt Zhou Hao had gone mad.

But Zhou Hao soon spoke again. "You can teach my sister."

Thor immediately laughed.

"Your sister's talent is average, and her current strength is somewhat low. She cannot become my disciple yet. But if you become my disciple, I can accept your sister as a registered disciple." He looked at Zhou Hao. This was the best condition he could offer.

Zhou Ying'er's eyes dimmed, and she pressed her lips together. Still, she knew her own limits and did not feel overly disappointed.

After all, not to mention her—even across the entire world, the number of geniuses who could become Thor's disciples could be counted on one hand.

Zhou Hao shook his head. "I won't take you as my teacher."

Seeing Zhou Hao so resolute, Thor could not help recalling what Hong had said earlier. A genius like Zhou Hao must have received an inheritance from Ancient Civilization Relics.

Although he vaguely guessed that this was probably the reason, he could not help asking, "Why?"

Zhou Hao's childish voice rang out. "It's not convenient to say here. Take me to the Wilderness Zone."

"Fine." Thor immediately grabbed Zhou Hao by the shoulder and shot into the sky.

After the two left—

The training camp students exploded into uproar.

"Isn't Zhou Hao way too arrogant? He actually doesn't even think Thor is good enough?"

"I think Zhou Hao is telling the truth. Thor's Trial Tower level is only the fifth floor, about the same as Zhou Hao's. The only difference between them is their physical genetic constitution."

"The accomplished can be teachers. No matter what, Thor has the strength and qualifications to teach Zhou Hao. In the end, Zhou Hao is still too young. He has a little talent and already doesn't know his place!"

The students were filled with indignation. Thor was their idol, and Zhou Hao's refusal to become Thor's disciple was, in their eyes, undoubtedly an insult to Thor. Naturally, most of them could not accept it.

Councilors such as Jia Yi and the Ice Snow Emperor were all speechless.

They too felt that Zhou Hao was a little too arrogant, but when they considered his age, they felt somewhat relieved.

"I wonder why Zhou Hao refused Thor?"

"Just wait and see."

In the Wilderness Zone outside Hongning Base City.

Two figures landed on the rooftop of an abandoned high-rise building.

Thor smiled amiably. "Little fellow, can you tell me the reason now?"

Zhou Hao still shook his head.

Thor frowned, but then his pupils suddenly widened.

The four-year-old Zhou Hao standing before him suddenly erupted with powerful Mental Power. Its purity and intensity had already surpassed that of a High-level War God.

"You... you..." Thor felt as if his brain could no longer process this. A four-year-old child was actually a Mental Power Master invincible among War Gods?

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it, even if beaten to death.

Whoosh.

Zhou Hao abruptly retreated, arriving at the other side of the rooftop.

"Thor, fight me. If you can defeat me, I'll take you as my teacher!" Zhou Hao's childish voice carried over.

Thor was completely speechless. "Zhou Hao, I don't want to bully a four-year-old child. I admit that you have truly shocked me. At only four years old, your Mental Power has reached such a level. Your strength already surpasses that of the vast majority of Earth's powerhouses, but you are still not my opponent..."

His words came to an abrupt stop.

He stared solemnly at the curved blades gradually appearing around Zhou Hao.

With his eyesight, he quickly realized that there were actually 1,008 blades. To control so many blades so steadily, even East, Earth's number one Mental Power Master from India, could not do it!!

Zhou Hao's expression remained calm as his immense Mental Power acted upon every curved blade of the Advanced Heaven-Piercing Shuttle, causing the blades to rapidly converge.

The reason he had chosen to expose his strength before Thor

Was entirely because the Sign-in System had rarely issued a special sign-in mission: Defeat Thor and obtain the "First Tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex." Time limit: one hour.

Zhou Hao had been thrilled at the time.

The Nine Tribulations Secret Codex was a supreme genetic cultivation technique left behind by King of Gods Zuo Shank Ke. This technique even defied the laws governing the universe. Therefore, even though he knew he was no match for Thor, he still chose to do this!
