The waves, now split in two, continued to crash forward with undiminished force, but they parted to let Qi Ling and Bo Saixi pass through the middle before continuing their astonishing advance, crashing heavily onto the sea surface.
Bo Saixi's face was filled with nothing but shock, because she never expected that Qi Ling would possess a true divine artifact, and one of such high rank that it might even surpass the Sea God Trident.
"How did you come to possess such a divine artifact? Why didn't you use it before?" Bo Saixi asked in surprise.
"Huh? You mean this?" Qi Ling casually raised the Xuanyuan Sword and said, "I haven't had a chance to use it either. It seems that apart from you, no one here can force me to use my true strength."
Bo Saixi was speechless for a moment. Indeed, apart from this battle, it seemed there was no other time when Qi Ling would need to use this sword. Facing the power of the Sea God, it could break through it in one blow. The power of this sword was unimaginable.
Although he had seen Qi Ling take out this sword and give it to Ning Rongrong, Ning Rongrong had never drawn it at that time, so Bo Saixi never imagined that this sword would be so terrifying.
It wasn't that Qi Ling didn't want to use the Xuanyuan Sword, but rather that he often forgot to use it; in short, he found it inconvenient to use.
Even so, this does not prevent the Xuanyuan Sword from being a king's sword, possessing an absolute advantage even when facing the power of the Sea God.
The majestic aura of the Divine Dragon Emperor perfectly complements the characteristics of the Xuanyuan Sword itself; the combined power of the two is truly astonishing.
Faced with Qi Ling wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, Bo Saixi had no choice but to halt her attack. Even if she continued fighting, she wouldn't stand a chance unless she could pull out the Sea God Trident, which would give her the right to fight Qi Ling.
Unfortunately, even though Bo Saixi was the guardian of the Sea God Godhood, she was never qualified to use the Sea God Trident.
Seeing Bo Saixi slowly release the Chain of the Sea God, Qi Ling asked with a smile, "What? Not fighting anymore? If you feel it's unfair, I can put away the Xuanyuan Sword and fight you too."
"No, there's no need. It's pointless now," Bo Saixi said slowly. "I lost this match, Qi Ling. You've passed all the tests, and I've gotten the answer I wanted to prove."
Qi Ling asked doubtfully, "What are you trying to prove? Do you really think I would submit to the power of the Sea God? That's underestimating me."
Bo Saixi then laughed and said, "Of course not, I knew from the beginning that you would make this choice."
After that, Bo Saixi said nothing more, but turned and flew towards Sea God Island. Qi Ling did not get the answer she wanted, so she had no choice but to follow her back to Sea God Island.
Beneath Sea God Mountain, Tang San and the others remained immersed in the towering waves, unable to extricate themselves. Although Sea God Island was unharmed due to the protection of the Sea God, simply facing such a being was enough to shock them.
After Bo Saixi and Qi Ling slowly descended back to Sea God Island, everyone couldn't help but wonder: who was the final victor in this battle?
" Brother Qi, who won?" Xiao Wu was the first to rush up to Qi Ling and ask Qi Ling curiously.
Qi Ling was about to speak, Bo Saixi suddenly coughed and said, " Qi Ling, come with me."
Qi Ling smiled, ruffled Xiao Wu's hair, and then left with Bo Saixi. The Dragon Maiden followed behind with a smile. Before leaving, she turned back to Tang San and the others and said, "All of you, disperse! Prepare to face your trial."
Upon arriving at the Sea God Hall, Bo Saixi said to the Dragon Maiden and Qi Ling, "Now that Qi Ling is ready, Dragon Maiden, when do you plan to go to Dragon God Island?"
Upon hearing the name Dragon God Island, Qi Ling couldn't help but feel hopeful. Could she finally begin to undergo the Dragon God Trial?
"We'll be there soon," the Dragon Maiden laughed. " Xi Xi, thank you so much for your help! You really are my best friend!"
Bo Saixi replied helplessly, "It's nothing. I had my reasons for doing this."
"Oh, right, Xi Xi, there's one more thing," the Dragon Maiden said. "Before I leave, I need to borrow a few more people from you."
"Borrow someone? Borrow what kind of person?" Bo Saixi asked doubtfully. "Is there someone on Sea God Island who can provide you with assistance?"
"No, I don't need to borrow people from Sea God Island, but rather those who are currently undergoing the trials," the Dragon Maiden laughed. "Entering Dragon God Island isn't easy, so of course I need to bring more people."
Qi Ling asked in surprise, " Dragon Maiden, from what you're saying, Dragon God Island is still a place where you can gain benefits?"
"That's natural, and more importantly, if you want to participate in the Dragon God Trial, you'll need the help of others; otherwise, it won't be possible," the Dragon Maiden said. "There are many requirements for these people, and two of them must be met."
Qi Ling asked, "What are the requirements?"
"First, one must possess the qualities of a dragon. Those who have previously obtained Dragon Ring can be considered to meet this requirement," the Dragon Maiden said.
"Then comes the second and most important rule: all these people, except for you, must be women, and preferably, they should all be people who harbor feelings of love for you!"
Qi Ling could understand the first point, since it was Dragon God Island and it was understandable that those who entered had a connection with dragons.
But what the heck is this second one? It's absolutely shocking! They want to find people who admire Qi Ling —Qi Ling are they planning to create a support group for Qi Ling on the island?
" Dragon Maiden, you're not joking, are you?" Qi Ling was stunned for a long time before slowly saying, "Do you... do you know what this means?"
"Of course I know! Oh, Master, this is a golden opportunity!" the Dragon Maiden said. "Alright, Master, you should hurry up and go. As for who to look for, I'm sure you already know the answer, right?"
Afterwards, the Dragon Maiden pushed Qi Ling out of the Sea God Hall Sea God Hall, while she remained inside, talking to Bo Saixi about other things.
Completely bewildered, Qi Ling rejoined the group. Seeing his strange expression, Xiao Wu Qi Ling the others asked, " Brother Qi, what's wrong?"
"Ah, it's nothing," Qi Ling said. "Actually, there is something like this."
Then, Qi Ling told everyone what the Dragon Maiden had said about Dragon God Island. Of course, he was too embarrassed to tell everyone the conditions the Dragon Maiden had mentioned, as that would seem inappropriate no matter how you looked at it.
"Therefore, I need a few of you to come with me: Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Rongrong, and Tianyi," Qi Ling said. "As for the rest of you, you and Xiao San will continue with the Sea God Trial."
