Towering waves surged skyward, and grave expressions appeared on every examinee's face.
"Rumble!"
Amid a series of thunderous booms, a colossal wave three zhang high approached the crowd, then finally crashed down upon them head-on.
Gu Yang's eyes widened. He suddenly discovered that everyone around him had vanished, leaving him alone to face this enormous wave.
Sure enough, there was no taking shortcuts.
Seeing this, Gu Yang immediately understood. The trial would not give them a chance to borrow another's strength. To pass, they could only rely on themselves.
"Splash!"
The wave crashed down heavily. Gu Yang immediately stepped forward to meet it.
When facing such a raging torrent, one absolutely could not stand still like a fool and wait.

And Gu Yang had undoubtedly chosen the first option!
Power surged throughout his body. Gu Yang raised his arm high, then brought it down with crushing force.
Like a divine axe splitting open heaven and earth, cleaving chaos apart and remaking the world.
"Break!" His shout rang out as his palm, carrying a fierce gust of force, sliced through the water.

Before his eyes, an even taller wave came rushing in.
"Break!"
Gu Yang was fiercely unstoppable as he stepped forward once more.
"Splash, splash, splash~"
Time passed slowly. One wave followed
