"This lad really has made progress in cultivating his apex heart."
Watching Qin Hao's impassive, utterly fearless expression, Sea Ancestor and Stone Ancestor nodded inwardly, the gratification on their faces deepening.
Before Qin Hao had set out for the Northern Yan Dynasty's Imperial City, the two Ancestors had guided him in the sword heart realm.
As Qin Hao had explained it, his original heart... was the peak, the limit!
At the time, Sea Ancestor and Stone Ancestor had thought it impossible. Maintaining an apex heart was far easier said than done. Most warriors had original hearts rooted in defiance, slaughter, kindness, or the like.
An apex heart was simply too difficult!
Now, it seemed Qin Hao had clearly succeeded.
Otherwise, he would not have faced Venerable Martial Venerables without the slightest fear.
Only an unwavering mind and indestructible will could allow someone to charge fearlessly ahead!
"Sea Ancestor, Stone Ancestor, Hall Master, Great Elder!"
Qin Hao turned and cupped his hands slightly toward Sea Ancestor, Stone Ancestor, Bai Ze, and Mu Changfeng. Then he swept a cold glance toward Lei Yunkui and said gravely:
"After we entered the Nether Demon World, we were pursued by the Purple Profound Crab Monster, an Ancient Ferocious Beast. Lei Zhen ambushed me for his own selfish ends. If Senior Brother Zhuge hadn't helped me, the Purple Profound Crab Monster would have completely surrounded me, and I would have died on the spot!"
Qin Hao spoke slowly, recounting what had happened.
In fact, Zhuge Hong had already reported these events.
But hearing Qin Hao recount them again, Sea Ancestor and Stone Ancestor immediately nodded solemnly.
"Lei Zhen deserved to die!"
"Such a despicable person was unworthy of being a Myriad Phenomena Hall Disciple."
Sea Ancestor and Stone Ancestor made their positions clear on the spot.
