Chapter 25, the Freshman Trial, Begins!



"What do you mean by 'idiot'?"

"Shi Tiancai said you're an idiot, hahahaha."

"Get lost, you're the idiot. I'm just telling the truth. When I become powerful, I'll enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives."

A dizzying sensation followed, and in the blink of an eye, Tu Longjian appeared amidst a blanket of white snow.

She looked around and saw that Gan Xiuming and Fang Milu were no longer there, indicating that they had been separated after being teleported.

Snowflakes fell, and the icy chill touched her warm cheeks, causing Tu Longjian to shiver instinctively.

A north wind howled, the sky and earth were vast and boundless, and the snow stretched as far as the eye could see.

In the vast, isolated snowfield, the biting wind relentlessly seeped into my sleeves, and in no time, my eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with ice crystals.

In the distance, the snow-capped mountains undulate and reflect the dazzling light, like a giant silver python lurking nearby, watching intently.

This scene inevitably evokes a sense of loneliness.

The world is vast and boundless, and I am the only one who exists. I see the immensity of the world and the insignificance of my own body.

The hot breath Tu Longjian exhaled immediately froze in the air, and she shrank back in fear, only to find there was nowhere to hide.

Snowflakes drifted to every corner, leaving nowhere to hide.

Outside the trial mirror, Senior Brother Li stood up in surprise.

"This is the most difficult illusion in the secret realm... the Snow Drinking Realm, how unlucky is Junior Sister Chunxiang?"

Meanwhile, most of the other disciples were teleported to the Spring and Autumn Realm, and many of them were even frantically picking the spiritual herbs that were everywhere.

Only a very small number of unlucky children are transported to extremely rare and harsh environments. Unfortunately, Tu Longjian is one of them, which is due to her extremely unlucky fate.

Since he had nowhere to go, Tu Longjian simply sat down and meditated on the spot.

She transformed her spiritual energy into a dragon that circulated rapidly within her body, finally bringing some warmth.

However, the spiritual energy stored in his body was quickly used up.

Tu Longjian thought of the Dry Spirit Lamp, but that was obviously not an option. There were many people watching outside the mirror, and he absolutely could not expose this treasure!

Xiaoyi once said that her physique allowed her to cultivate any path, and elements were probably no exception.

This action can also be explained by the cover-up of the five spiritual roots.

So, Tu Longjian calmly began to form hand seals, attempting to absorb the ice and snow elements around him.

However, the result was not as expected. Although they successfully absorbed the ice and snow elements and felt a little better, they still could not bear the extreme cold of the world.

And the ice and snow elements were even running rampant in his body without any order.

Suddenly, a cold and arrogant voice came from behind.

"Frost enters the body, turning the body into a furnace, forging an icy heart, unperturbed by any change."

Tu Longjian raised his eyes and saw a woman standing in the distance, seemingly proud and aloof.

Despite the ravages of wind and frost, she remained proudly unmoved.

Her graceful figure was like a jade tree branch, and her face was beautiful. Her indifferent eyes looked over, seemingly puzzled.

She is Shi Zixue, a genius with an ice-elemental root.

Tu Longjian silently recited the incantation that Shi Zixue had transmitted to her.

As if guided, the ice and snow elements within her body obediently circulated, firmly protecting her dantian and meridians, and the stagnant spiritual energy became active.

Tu Longjian moved his stiff body and finally stood up again.

She never expected that Shi Zixue, whom she had never met before, would help her. Was she also a cold-faced but warm-hearted person?

But as soon as she got up, the woman turned around and left.

"Hey—Fellow Daoist Shi, wait a minute."

Tu Longjian wanted to call out to Shi Zixue, but saw that she didn't turn around and kept moving forward resolutely...

A small step has been taken.

Her spine seemed to stiffen, and she pulled her leg out with difficulty, taking another small step forward.

Watching Shi Zixue crawl slowly like a snail, Tu Longjian couldn't help but chuckle.

She quickly searched the modern space and found the skis placed in the corner.

Tu Longjian was relieved. Fortunately, although he rarely skied, he still kept the equipment he used when he went skiing in his walk-in closet.

Those skis were bought for her by her secretary; they were of excellent quality.

Tu Longjian took out the two pairs of skis and hid them diagonally under the snow.

There were people watching outside the trial mirror, and she didn't want them to discover that she, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator, already possessed a spatial magic treasure.

She took a step forward, landing right on the protruding corner of the ski, and cried out in apparent pain.

"Huh, what is this?"

Tu Longjian quickly cleared away the snow and retrieved his skis.

"By stepping on this, one might be able to walk quickly on the snow."

"Fellow Daoist Shi, wait for me..."

Shi Zixue was a little nervous and took a step to leave, transforming from a snail into a rapidly moving snail.

Tu Longjian deftly stepped onto his skis, lightly touched the ground with his ski poles, and swiftly glided towards Shi Zixue.

Shi Zixue looked back and saw Tu Longjian stepping on two planks, leaping into the air from the snow slope, performing a beautiful spin in the air, and rapidly sliding down towards her.

Her robes billowed in the wind, rustling softly, and her movements were agile and graceful, full of both strength and gentleness.

Her face wore an extremely bright and radiant smile, like the dazzling sun, dispelling the chill.

Shi Zixue's pupils dilated slightly, reflecting a warm, sun-like figure that grew larger and larger...

Bang--

Shi Zixue was tackled to the snow by Tu Longjian, who rushed over, and the snowflakes splashed all over the two of them.

Tu Longjian quickly got up, looking apologetic, and reached out to wipe the snow off Shi Zixue.

She hadn't skied in so long, and she got so excited that she couldn't stop.

"No." Shi Zixue, sparing with words, quickly refused her. Then, she raised her hand and swiftly made a hand seal, causing the snowflakes on both of them to instantly float up and drift back into the air.

"Such skillful technique. Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Shi." Tu Longjian's eyes crinkled with a smile.

She never hesitated to smile at beautiful women.

Seeing that Zixue subconsciously took a step back, seemingly afraid of her enthusiasm, she was considerate enough not to go any further, but simply stood there and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, what is that sixteen-character mantra?"

"Ahem, as everyone knows, I possess five spiritual roots, so occasionally mastering other elements shouldn't be considered anything special."

"However, even after absorbing ice and snow elements, my cold resistance is still not high. Therefore, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Shi for guidance."

Shi Zixue looked up and stared intently at her, her lips still tightly pressed together, but she transmitted her voice:

"No...you are rare, that's good."

"Light won't work, we need... a mnemonic."

She discovered Tu Longjian's hidden strength back then. You should know that to reach such a cultivation speed, even with excellent luck, one must put in extremely hard work.

Shi Zixue had some admiration for him at the time, so when she saw Tu Longjian trapped in the snow, she hesitated but still offered some guidance. It was just a pity that he couldn't escape.

She seemed to rarely communicate with anyone. After saying those few words, she appeared to have exhausted all her energy, lowered her head, and prepared to leave silently.

But Tu Longjian stopped her and handed her another pair of skis.

"Walking like this is too slow. Fellow Daoist Shi, use this. I'll teach you. It will be faster."

Shi Zixue's eyes shone brightly, and a hint of joy peeked through her calm voice:
