There were strong and weak personal disciples as well. For example, the second and third rate disciples of each peak had their own strengths and weaknesses. Ye Shuihan was obviously weaker than Sea Sand and Zhan Ye.
However, the fact that they were ranked as personal disciples proved that their talents and potential weren't too far apart.
Perhaps Ye Shuihan's failure was due to his cultivation level.
After all, he was eighth level emperor realm, a level behind Sea Sand and Zhan Ye.
Zhong Anze was ninth level emperor realm, yet he'd been stopped by a tenth level cultivator. It wasn't embarrassing even if Ye Shuihan didn't succeed.
"Aren't you nervous that Ye Shuihan has failed?"
Eastern Sky looked at Qin Hao.
"Isn't that normal?"
Qin Hao replied with a smile. Had he really failed?
As the son of Emperor Dragon Abyss and the crown prince of the Luoshui Empire, Ye Shuihan was far more capable than this.
Hum!
A deafening roar erupted.
Just when everyone thought that Ye Shuihan had failed the challenge, they saw a black vortex appear in the huge waves that were crashing down. It spun crazily, and the huge waves suddenly turned into a water storm. They were stirred up and crazily rushed towards the center of the vortex.
The vortex was like a black hole that could devour everything. It gradually absorbed the majestic waves until all thirty-six waves were sucked into it.
Then, a figure appeared on the tenth stone step. He wore long blue robes, his black hair fluttering in the wind, and was surrounded by an azure light. He looked like the emperor of a kingdom of water.
It was Ye Shuihan!
He'd refined all thirty-six giant waves and absorbed all of their might.
He'd succeeded as well!
"Is it a surprise that I'm doing it for everyone's enjoyment?"
Ye Shuihan turned around and smiled frivolously at the disciples of the seven peaks below. He lifted his foot and crossed the eleventh step, standing on the level of the platform. Once again, he stood shoulder to shoulder with the other three.
Boom!
The Seven Peaks disciples' minds shook. Ye Shuihan was eighth level emperor realm, but he'd broken through the Divine Soldier's pressure that even Zhong Anze hadn't been able to. They'd all thought that he'd failed.
But in the end … his personal disciple's talent was indeed very strong!
Within Mizar Hall's group, Zhong Anze's eyes narrowed slightly, but his state of mind quickly returned to normal.
If he were to give it his all, he would be able to cross the eleventh step and stand on the platform.
But that wouldn't make the Divine Soldier recognize him as his master. It would be meaningless. Why bother?
Therefore, he did not feel that it was unfair. He could also do what Ye Shuihan did.
That being said, Ye Shuihan was still a level lower than him. They were both eighth level emperor realm cultivators, but Ge Xiu had only reached the sixth level. Now that Ye Shuihan was standing on the stage, it was enough to prove his talent.
"It is indeed quite normal."
Eastern Sky smiled. Qin Hao seemed to have a very good understanding of Ye Shuihan. He already knew that Ye Shuihan would not stop at the tenth step.
But after that, it would be considered a real challenge. He would gain the recognition of the Divine Soldier and become the master of the Divine Soldier.
This was an extraordinarily difficult task.
Qin Hao also withdrew his smile and put on a solemn expression. He looked at the four figures on the platform with some worry.
It wasn't surprising that Sea Sand, Zhan Ye, and Ye Shuihan had stepped onto the platform, but it would be very difficult to make the Divine Soldier submit!
"Do your best. Don't say I didn't warn you. If you hold back, you will miss out on the opportunity to obtain the Divine Soldier."
The Profound Heaven Immortal Lord sternly warned the four.
The four nodded in unison. They knew what to do the moment they stood on the platform.
At this moment, over a thousand gazes were fixed on the platform. After crossing the twelfth step, someone finally stood in front of the Divine Soldier.
No one knew if Sea Sand and the others would be recognized and return with the greatest artifact of the Divine Palace.
If they could obtain the Divine Soldier, it would not only symbolize Mizar Hall's glory, it would also be a great improvement for them.
With an Emperor weapon in hand, how many Emperor weapons were there in the world?
There were very few blacksmiths in the outside world, and the number of almighty artifact emperors could be counted on one hand.
If Sea Sand and the others returned to the outside world with the peerless emperor weapon forged by Xuantian Peak, who would dare to compete with Emperor Yuan?
The disciples of the Seven Peaks fantasized, and they became quite excited. It was as if they were about to obtain the Divine Soldier.
On the platform, after the Profound Heaven Immortal Lord finished speaking, he retreated to the side, completely giving up the platform for the four to fight to their heart's content.
At this time, the aura of Zhan Ye and the others rose to the extreme. Bright golden light shone, and the surging vitality was mixed with incomparably powerful soul power.
Sea Sand even transformed into the original form of a golden ape, a demonic beast. His huge body stepped on the platform, and his aura was incomparably violent.
Whether they could obtain the Divine Soldier or not would depend on this attack.
Buzz!
It was still Zhan Ye who made the first move. Among the raging golden light, there were wisps of platinum color. Terrifying saber intent spread out, and his tyrannical will swept through the world, filled with domineering killing intent.
All the disciples could clearly feel the terrifying saber might in Zhan Ye's will. It was as if a martial artist holding a domineering saber appeared in everyone's mind, as if he could destroy everyone's soul.
"So strong."
Ge Xiu clenched his fists. After returning from the Illusory Palace, he hadn't had the chance to ask Zhan Ye for advice.
From this scene, the other party's killing saber intent was even more violent. This terrifying will could directly destroy the opponent's soul.
It turned out that unknowingly, Zhan Ye's ability had already reached such a level. He had comprehended the laws and was half a step into the Thearch Realm.
"I've embarrassed the Qin family."
Qin Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. The people around Qin Hao were each stronger than the other.
Back then, on the Broken Dragon Cliff, Qin Hao still needed his protection.
Now, even the people around him had surpassed Qin Yun by a lot. He was gradually unable to keep up.
Hearing this, Ah Ke held Qin Yun's hand tightly and smiled slightly.
Qin Yun wasn't the only one who couldn't keep up. Wasn't she also left behind?
Thinking back to the scene of fighting with Qin Hao in the wasteland, Ah Ke missed it.
At that time, she could still exchange a few moves with Qin Hao. But now, she might not even be able to block a single move.
After all, Zhan Ye was so strong that he was half a step into the Thearch Realm. It was just that she didn't know how much stronger Qin Hao was compared to Zhan Ye. This made Ah Ke look forward to his performance.
As for challenging the Divine Soldier Platform, there was no need for her to compete with Qin Yun!
Buzz!
On the platform, the raging saber intent soared again. It was incomparably domineering. It was as if Zhan Ye's entire body had turned into a blazing white saber light as he approached the Divine Soldier step by step. That earth-shattering saber intent also shrouded the Divine Soldier Treasure Chest. It was as if his will had already penetrated it, wanting to crush the Divine Soldier's spirit and conquer it.
And in Zhan Ye's consciousness, everything around him had disappeared. It was as if he was in a vast and boundless world. In this world, a peerless divine saber stood upright in the sky, exuding a peerless saber might that wanted to slash the heavens.
Above the divine saber, endless saber intent filled the air like a tidal wave. Strands of saber light shot out and slashed towards Zhan Ye, incomparably ferocious.
"Nine Heavens Consecutive Slash!"
Zhan Ye roared. His saber soul appeared and was held in his palm. He stepped into the sky and flew across the sky like a saber god, rushing towards the endless sea of saber light in the void. His momentum was unstoppable.
