So, from his current perspective,
the strength of these people surrounding him was truly mediocre.
The overall strength of the War God Hall was mediocre as well.
Of course, that was normal. Although the War God Hall had the Ancient Battle Emperor, the king of one-on-one combat, its other subordinates specialized more in Battle Arrays and Combined Attack Techniques. Combined Attack Techniques had a relatively low entry threshold; they were easy to learn but difficult to master. As for those who truly dared to walk the path of invincibility alongside the Ancient Battle Emperor, where only one of them could stand... not a single one had appeared to this day.
That was also why the Ancient Battle Emperor had no disciples.
Most of the Ancient Nine Emperors had no disciples or direct successors.
It was not because they did not want to find someone to inherit their legacies.
Nor was it because they were too proud.
It was simply because someone truly capable of inheriting their legacies had yet to appear.
Those who had appeared so far
looked fairly decent.
But a real test revealed the truth.
None of them met even the minimum requirements for inheritance.
For example, the Ancient Battle Emperor's inheritance required his disciple to possess a heart that constantly sought progress and fought with courage. They had to love battle and immerse themselves in it, yet they could not lose their rationality because of battle, nor could they fight merely for the sake of fighting. One could say his requirements were even stranger than the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor's. At least the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor only required his disciple to repeatedly defeat their inner demons and overcome themselves, thereby attaining invincibility of will and mastering their inner demons. But the Battle Emperor's logic was entirely
