Before Ji Hanfeng could finish his words, the test formation suddenly flashed with a mysterious light, and a ball of white light broke away from the formation and slowly fell. After it touched the ground, the white light disappeared, revealing Yun Che's figure.
The other profound practitioners who left the assessment profound formation were either ejected or thrown out fiercely, and they were in a mess when they landed on the ground. However, Yun Che was sent out very gently by the profound light, and he was standing steadily when he landed on the ground.
Because the others were driven out of the Ice Profound Realm after “death”, but Yun Che gave up on his own initiative while still alive.
Yun Che immediately felt his body and felt no pain or injury. He could not even feel any consumption of his profound energy. However, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere around him seemed to be wrong. He quickly opened his eyes and looked around.
In front, Mu Xiaolan was still far away, but her lips were wide open, and beside her was Mu Sushan with a deep and strange look in his eyes. On the side, a group of mystics were neatly lined up, and Ji Hanfeng stood in front of them. When he saw Ji Hanfeng, he also saw Li Mingcheng standing at the front of the team.
Every one of these people was stunned, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Yun Che did not “die” in the Ice Profound Realm, so his mind was not confused at all. After he was stunned for a moment, the surrounding formation, atmosphere, and the expressions of everyone made him immediately realize what had happened.
What’s going on… Is there something wrong with the assessment?
That shouldn't be the case! The only possibility is...
I'm the last one out! ?
Clang!!
The fluctuation of mysterious power came from behind along with a very loud noise. The mysterious light of the test mysterious formation was retracted in an instant. The entire mysterious formation disappeared after a short rotation. The area within the range of the mysterious formation was empty, without a single figure.
The final assessment of the Hanxue Palace truly ended at this moment.
The first place in the final assessment, that is, the last person to leave the Ice Profound Realm, was Yun Che! !
Seeing Yun Che appear in the white light and the examination profound formation disappearing with him, everyone's brain froze and they stared in amazement for a long time, not daring to believe their eyes at all.
Li Mingcheng's results were extremely impressive, and if he won first place, no one would be surprised. But Yun Che, his profound strength was clearly only at the fifth level of the Sovereign Profound Realm, let alone stepping into the Divine Way, even in the Sovereign Profound Realm, he was only at the middle stage. Moreover, he was a profound practitioner from the lower realms, and was still far weaker than the profound practitioners of the Divine Realm at the same level. With his profound strength and background, it would be extremely difficult for him to enter the Falling Snow Palace, let alone the Cold Snow Palace.
The fact that he could participate in the assessment of the Snow Palace was just a "special case" given by the chief palace master with a mocking and even slightly humiliating attitude. He accepted it without hesitation, which was just a joke in the eyes of everyone. But such a "joke" actually surpassed Li Mingcheng and all of them in the final trial! !
“Yun Che, you… you you you you you…” This huge gap made Mu Xiaolan’s mind unable to wrap around for a moment: “You… actually… number one… ah…”
Yun Che looked at Mu Sushan. At this point, how could he not understand that he had been tricked by the steward of the Snow Palace? And the meaningful look from the latter was clearly an admission of his loyalty.
In the Ice Profound Realm, he briefly wondered whether "a quarter of an hour" was a little too short.
I didn’t expect it to be…too long!!
It seems that he must have noticed something from his words and deeds, as well as from the Blizzard Realm Assessment, so he "tricked" him, and there was no trace at all. With his cunningness, he didn't even notice anything unusual.
How could someone who holds a high position in the divine world be an ordinary person?
However, on the other hand, this result also told Yun Che that he had greatly underestimated his current strength. When he first entered the Sovereign Profound Realm, he was able to kill Xuanyuan Wentian, whose profound strength had already entered the Divine Way. Now, his profound strength has reached the middle stage of the Sovereign Profound Realm. Perhaps, the Divine Way profound practitioner that he can match with his full strength is at a level far higher than what he had always expected!
But in this case, it is completely impossible for him to keep a low profile.
“Alas,” Yun Che sighed, and silently said to himself in his heart: “A person like me is like the sun in the dark night. No matter how hard and how deliberately I try, I will never be able to cover up the overly bright brilliance.”
Yun Che turned around, faced the stunned crowd, and said to Ji Hanfeng: “So, I should be qualified to become a disciple of the Snow Palace, right?”
"Not only that," before Ji Hanfeng responded, Mu Sushan said with a smile: "You are the last one to leave the Ice Profound Realm, and you have undoubtedly become the most outstanding new disciple in this group. Not only are you qualified to become a formal disciple of the Snow Palace, you will also receive a 'Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill' as a reward. With your current cultivation, if you can completely refine this Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill with the help of others, you will definitely be reborn and make rapid progress from now on, hehe."
"etc!!"
A hurried voice suddenly sounded, and Li Mingcheng stepped out from the team with a gloomy face, and shouted: "The Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill cannot be given to him! Anyone can see that the result of this assessment is not normal at all! This kid named Yun Che... is clearly cheating!"
He entered the Snow Palace so late, and it was at Mu Fengshu's instruction that he won the "Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill" specially given for this year's assessment. For today, he endured for several years and prepared for several years. The "Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill" is within reach, how can he allow it to fall into the hands of others... and a waste who doesn't know how to respect him in his eyes.
“I cheated? Where’s the proof?” Yun Che said helplessly. Now that things had come to this, it was impossible for him to keep a low profile. He could only be forced to go with this result.
“Proof? Ha!” Li Mingcheng sneered and walked towards Yun Che step by step: “Does this matter need proof? Anyone with eyes that are not blind can see that you are definitely cheating! Each of the Frost Direwolves in the Ice Profound Realm is a Divine Origin Realm level one profound beast, and they are extremely aggressive. Even I have to be extra careful when dealing with them. And you, a waste with a profound strength of only the middle stage of the Sovereign Profound Realm, can only be killed instantly in front of the Frost Direwolves. How could you possibly stay in the Ice Profound Realm for more than that long!”
“Junior Brother Mingcheng is right.” Ji Hanfeng said, his eyes fixed on Yun Che: “I believe that not only Junior Brother Mingcheng, but everyone present here will not believe this result. Yun Che, you are so bold. The trial of my Hanxue Palace is designed to select the best disciples for the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect. How dare you cheat in such a sacred and majestic place! You are just a lowly person from the lower realm, what do you think my Ice Phoenix Divine Sect is!!”
“Ji Hanfeng!”
The words “lower realm pariah” angered Yun Che a little. He called him by his name without any hesitation, “Before the assessment, you said that there was still a possibility of cheating in the Blizzard Realm assessment, but no one could cheat in the Ice Profound Realm trial. You said this yourself! What grounds do you have to question my cheating now?”
"Yes! Why? You said Yun Che cheated, at least show me the evidence!" Mu Xiaolan rushed over and stood beside Yun Che, saying with great momentum. In fact... she felt very insecure, very insecure. Because even she was sure... Yun Che must have cheated!
Otherwise, with his profound strength, how could he possibly last so long in the Ice Profound Realm!
However, Yun Che was brought by Mu Bingyun, so she could only stand by him. And she absolutely could not admit this! Although she didn't know what method Yun Che used, cheating in the assessment of the Snow Palace was a huge scandal. Once it was confirmed, she didn't care about the consequences for Yun Che, but it would most likely affect Mu Bingyun. She couldn't let this happen no matter what.
“It’s very simple to confirm whether Yun Che cheated.” Li Mingcheng said confidently, “In the test just now, Yun Che stayed in the Ice Profound Realm for a whole quarter of an hour! I, Li Mingcheng, don’t think I have the ability to achieve such a result, but Yun Che did it. So, if he didn’t cheat, his strength must be far above mine.”
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding profound practitioners burst into laughter. Li Mingcheng was at the third level of the Divine Origin Realm, and even at the late stage. Moreover, considering his talent, he was definitely able to rival a fourth level Divine Origin Realm opponent. And Yun Che, a person from the lower realm who had not even entered the Divine Path, was a joke in this assessment. He was not even qualified to be compared with Li Mingcheng, so how could he be above him?
“Well then,” Li Mingcheng raised his arm towards Yun Che, his eyes full of amusement and contempt, “Whether you cheated or not, we’ll know once we fight. Yun Che, since you said you didn’t cheat, then let’s have a fight. Oh, you don’t have to beat me at all, as long as you can survive five moves without being defeated by me, I, Li Mingcheng, will admit that you didn’t cheat. But, if you can’t even survive five moves by someone like me whose performance is not as good as yours, then…”
“Hahahaha, Junior Brother Mingcheng, what a good suggestion!” Ji Hanfeng laughed. The surrounding Xuan practitioners also cast glances of either pity or gloating at Yun Che. They all thought that Li Mingcheng was overly proud of him by proposing the “Five Moves”… or maybe he was just trying to play a trick on him.
“Yun Che, did you hear me?” Ji Hanfeng said in a commanding tone, “If you want to prove that you didn’t cheat, then fight with Li Mingcheng to prove your innocence! If you really have the ability to hold out in the Profound Ice Realm for that long, it should be easy for you to deal with Li Mingcheng’s mere five moves.”
“No!” Mu Xiaolan pulled Yun Che’s sleeve and said sternly, “Yun Che was exempted from the first test because of the ‘special permission’ personally granted by the chief hall master. In the tests of the ‘Blizzard Realm’ and the ‘Ice Profound Realm’, Yun Che and other examinees followed the same process and entered the same test formation. You have no evidence and only made guesses. What right do you have to say that he cheated! Yun Che was brought here from the lower realm by my master himself. He has such strength. Why should he be subjected to your groundless doubts!”
“Also, Ji Hanfeng, don’t forget,” Mu Xiaolan’s voice rose a few degrees again: “The assessments of the Frost Snow Palace are all completed by the Mysterious Array. You are only a supervisor and recorder, and you have no right to interfere with the assessment process and results. The assessment results have been determined the moment the Mysterious Array disappears. You have no right to ask Yun Che to prove that he did not cheat.”
"..." Ji Hanfeng was speechless for a moment. Because Mu Xiaolan was right, he was just a supervisor and recorder. The process and results of the assessment were all carried out and determined by the Xuanzhen. As a disciple of the Hanxue Palace, he had no right to interfere.
Li Mingcheng stepped forward and said righteously, “Yun Che’s cheating is not just a matter of the test results. It concerns the fairness, strictness and reputation of the Frost Snow Palace and even the entire Ice Phoenix Divine Sect! If…”
“Humph! You said it so high-soundingly, but in fact, it’s just for the Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill!” Mu Xiaolan pierced through Li Mingcheng’s mind and urged him, “Ji Hanfeng, the assessment has been over for so long, why don’t you announce the result immediately and send the Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill to Yun Che! This is what you should do!”
Mu Xiaolan felt like she was on fire. She just wanted to finish the matter here immediately, then drag Yun Che to find Mu Bingyun, and then think of a solution for the future. She absolutely... absolutely could not let the cheating be confirmed on the spot.
"Xiao Lan is right. Ji Hanfeng does not have the right to interfere with the assessment process and results. Naturally, he also does not have the right to ask Yun Che and Li Mingcheng to fight to prove his innocence."
A calm voice came from behind, and it was Mu Sushan who was speaking. Hearing that Mu Sushan was helping her out, Mu Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to give him a grateful look, Mu Sushan's next words almost made her jump:
"But I do."
