Although they had guessed what Yun Che might be going to say, when he actually said it, all the elders and palace masters were still stunned. However, the disciples of the Divine Hall and Ice Phoenix Palace had various mentalities. Some sneered, while others showed excited expressions of watching the fun.
More people looked at him like a fool.
Yun Che suddenly broke through, and after he led away all the ice spirits, the last drop of water from the Tianchi Lake in the Xuan Array fell. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. When the last drop of water from the Tianchi Lake fell, there were three thousand ice spirits around Yun Che, and Mu Hanyi had none.
However, no one would submit to this result, because no one would connect "Yun Che" with "personal disciple", not even Yun Che himself.
This result was just a simple, unexpected, and even somewhat inexplicable accident!
In anyone's eyes, it was just a pure accident!
Although Yun Che defeated the Divine Origin Realm with the Sovereign Profound Realm, and was brought here by Mu Bingyun himself, which made him a little famous, he was not even as good as the mud under the colorful clouds in front of the proud son of heaven, Mu Hanyi. He had only truly broken through to the Divine Origin Realm today, and except for Mu Bingyun and Mu Xiaolan's protection, he was so excited that no one else was too lazy to take a second look at the process of his breakthrough.
One of them came from the lower realm and had only been in the Snow Song Realm for more than three months. Today, he finally stepped onto the starting point of the Divine Path. The other one was born into the Snow Song Royal Family and had a noble status. He had a talent that was rare in a thousand years. He was already in the middle stage of the Divine Tribulation Realm before he was thirty years old. Today, he gave his all without reservation, which once again amazed all the elders and palace masters.
Therefore, although Yun Che suddenly led away all the ice spirits, which shocked everyone, and although he did win over Mu Hanyi and Mu Feixue in the end, everyone's first reaction, or even their only reaction, was just the word "unexpected". No one could transfer the title of "personal disciple" from Mu Hanyi to Yun Che because of this.
The first level of the Divine Origin Realm, in terms of profound strength alone, is at the very bottom of the Snow Palace... and the concept of "personal disciple" is completely different from two different planes.
However, they did not expect that Yun Che would actually have the guts and nerve to raise an objection... and in a questioning tone. Facing Yun Che's resounding question, their first reaction was shock, and their second reaction was... a little funny, well, and a little embarrassing.
Of course, the one who found it funniest was definitely Mu Yunzhi.
"Hahahaha," Mu Yunzhi laughed, and then said with a joking look on his face: "So, should we announce that you have won, and then make you the sect master's personal disciple?"
“Isn’t it?” Yun Che asked back.
Yun Che had never thought about becoming the sect master's personal disciple before, and he thought that it would never be his turn. But this opportunity fell on his head without him noticing. After listening to Mu Bingyun's voice transmission, his heart was filled with excitement.
What he desired most was profound strength! Now, there were only twenty-seven months, a little over two years, left until the Xuanshen Conference! Although he had unexpectedly achieved amazing results by practicing in a self-mutilating way under impulse, it was still a foolish dream to reach the Divine Tribulation Realm before the Xuanshen Conference.
But, if I could become the Ice Phoenix Sect Master's personal disciple...
You can get personal guidance and instruction from the Ice Phoenix Sect Master! You can obtain the Ice Phoenix divine blood, and practice the highest level of profound skills in the Snow Song Realm... Most importantly, you can enjoy the Snow Song Realm's top resources and conveniences that far exceed the current ones!
If this is the case, perhaps it would really be possible to reach the Divine Tribulation Realm that one has only dreamed of before the Xuanshen Conference!
Therefore, the opportunity to "become a direct disciple" suddenly came, just like a ray of dawn that suddenly shone in the darkness, violently turning into the strongest desire in Yun Che's heart.
“Oh, this is ridiculous.” Mu Yunzhi felt that Yun Che in front of him was extremely ridiculous: “Mu Hanyi is the most outstanding disciple of this generation of my Divine Sect. He has also proved today that he is qualified to become the Sect Master’s personal disciple. And you, you are…”
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt Mu Bingyun's gaze. She paused and immediately changed her words: "Humph, how can you compare with Han Yi? The fact that you were able to attract so many ice spirits was just an accident caused by a breakthrough. Did you attract them with your strength? Don't you have any idea in your mind? You actually have the nerve to jump out, aren't you afraid of embarrassing you and your master?"
Mu Yunzhi's words caused all the disciples to laugh secretly, and most of the elders and palace masters also smiled and shook their heads. Mu Huanzhi frowned and said nothing. Mu Sushan suddenly said, "That being said, in terms of the result, Yun Che is indeed the winner. In this regard, Yun Che should indeed be given an explanation."
As expected, when Mu Sushan said this, Mu Yunzhi instantly got furious: "Explanation? What explanation? I'll say it again, he attracted the Ice Spirit only because he happened to break through! Not blaming him for almost disrupting the outcome is already a great honor to him, what else do I need to explain to him? Could it be that according to this so-called outcome, he should replace Han Yi and become the sect master's personal disciple?"
"Wouldn't that bring shame to our entire sect?"
After hearing Mu Yunzhi's words and thinking about Yun Che's background and profound strength, everyone felt a chill in their hearts... If Yun Che really became the sect master's personal disciple, it would definitely be the biggest joke in the history of the Snow Song Realm.
Of course, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen. Yun Che's "struggle" at this moment is already a joke.
"No need to say more." Great Elder Mu Huanzhi seemed to have made a decision: "The rules are set by the sect master himself, and the disciples selected are also the sect master's personal disciples, so what should be done, of course, must be decided by the sect master himself."
Mu Yunzhi also reacted and quickly bowed his head and said, "Yunzhi was too excited just now and said something wrong. I will definitely listen to the Sect Master's decision."
She was very sure in her heart... Would the Sect Master give up Mu Hanyi and choose a strange Yun Che as his personal disciple? She would never believe it even if she was beaten to death.
“Huanzhi,” the Snow Song Realm King, who was looking down at the Tianchi Lake, finally spoke. Her voice instantly turned the entire Tianchi Lake cold and silent. “You should have a plan in mind for what to do. Tell me now.”
The gaze of the Snow Song Realm King seemed to be able to pierce through one’s heart and even soul. Mu Huanzhi had long been accustomed to this and quickly leaned forward and said, “Yes, Sect Master.”
“Although it was quite unexpected, Su Shan was right. As far as the result was concerned, Yun Che did win, and it was reasonable for Yun Che to have some doubts. However, Yun Zhi was also right. The sect master used ice spirits to decide on his personal disciples in order to comprehensively test talent, physique, and the ability to control the law of ice. But Yun Che suddenly led away all the ice spirits, which had nothing to do with these. It should have been just because he had a breakthrough.”
“So, Huanzhi has a humble opinion.” Mu Huanzhi raised his head slightly: “Add another test for Han Yi and Yun Che.”
“……”Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
"How about adding a test?" said the Snow Song Realm King.
Mu Huanzhi said solemnly: "Although it is an additional test, it is a matter of great importance to the sect master's personal disciples, so it must naturally include a comprehensive assessment of talent, physique, and the Law of Ice. Now that the disciples have entered the Heavenly Lake for a long time, this additional test should not take up too much time. Therefore, Huanzhi proposes that Han Yi and Yun Che compete in diving into the Heavenly Nether Frost Lake, and the winner will be judged by the depth of the dive!"
As soon as Mu Huanzhi's suggestion came out, everyone's eyes lit up. The deeper you dive into the water of the Heavenly Dark Cold Lake, the colder it gets, and the increase in the coldness is extremely high. Even for disciples of the Temple, being able to dive to six or seven hundred feet is basically the limit, and at such a depth, you dare not stay even for a little while, otherwise you will be buried in the lake forever.
In the history of the Snow Song Realm, the person who dived the deepest was naturally the current Snow Song Realm King. It was rumored that she had reached a depth of two thousand feet... The cold air there was so heavy that even the strong men in the God Realm could not imagine it at all. I'm afraid that the legendary Nine Nether Cold Prison was no more than that. But, that was still not the bottom of the Heavenly Lake!
How deep is the bottom of Tianchi Lake, and what is hidden there? No one in the 900,000-year history of the Snow Song Realm has ever known.
If you want to dive deeper, strong profound strength is one thing, and the body's affinity with cold air and control of the law of ice are also extremely important. Moreover, this form of additional test can quickly determine the result.
Everyone could see that this additional test was just to deal with Yun Che's objection... After all, in terms of the result, it was a reasonable objection. When it came to the Law of Ice, how could Yun Che be compared to Mu Hanyi? In this additional test, they knew with their toes that Mu Hanyi would definitely win.
As for Yun Che, let alone sneaking in... even touching the water of Tianchi Lake was a big problem. After all, he had stayed at the edge of the lake obediently for the past three hours, not daring to take even a single step into it.
After all... no matter what, it is impossible for Yun Che to become the sect master's personal disciple!
“The elder’s suggestion is a good one!” Mu Yunzhi quickly agreed, nodding his head heavily: “This additional test is not only fair, but also gives Yun Che a sufficient explanation. If he can defeat my disciple Han Yi at the level of laws, then I naturally have nothing to say.”
"Master, what do you think of Huanzhi's proposal?" Mu Huanzhi asked cautiously.
“Very good.” The Snow Song Realm King nodded slightly behind the mist and said concisely: “Then let it be.”
After receiving the Sect Master's approval, Mu Huanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mu Hanyi, "Hanyi, you have been trying your best to attract the Ice Spirit for three hours, so you must have suffered some damage. Do you need to rest for a while?"
Even a fool could tell that Mu Huanzhi's words were just "courtesy". Mu Hanyi bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Great Elder. I am in great shape now. I will follow the arrangements of the Sect Master and the Great Elder... I just have a few objections."
"Oh?" Mu Huanzhi smiled: "Any objections?"
Mu Hanyi said, “To go deep into the waters of the Heavenly Lake, physical fitness and attainments in laws are certainly important, but profound strength cultivation is also extremely important. When the sect master selects his own disciples, he does not value cultivation, but rather physical fitness and attainments in laws. As for cultivation, this disciple is much better than Junior Brother Yun Che, so this additional test is not fair to Junior Brother Yun Che.”
Mu Huanzhi was not surprised, but laughed: "Then what do you think should be fair?"
“I would like to make a bold suggestion. Junior Brother Yun Che only needs to dive 20% of my depth. Even if Junior Brother Yun Che wins, I will be convinced of my defeat and have no objection.”
Mu Hanyi's words were extremely solemn and frank.
“Hahahaha,” Mu Huanzhi laughed loudly, “It’s really great that you said this.”
The elders and the Palace Master all nodded deeply, with praise on their faces. The surrounding disciples even looked at Mu Hanyi with admiration and respect. Mu Yunzhi also laughed: "With such a broad mind and bearing, you are worthy of being my Mu Yunzhi's good disciple! Okay, then I will follow Hanyi's wishes. Yun Che, did you hear that? You only need to reach 20% of my disciple Hanyi's level to win. And it was Hanyi who took the initiative to say this. What else do you have to say now?"
Let alone 20%, even if it was 10% or half, Mu Yunzhi would not feel the slightest bit uneasy. Instead, she was a little worried about Yun Che. With his cultivation level, would he not even dare to go down... That would be too boring. At least she could have more fun by struggling a little.
Mu Bingyun didn’t say anything, her eyes were fixed on Yun Che.
“In that case… Yun Che, do you have anything else to say? If there are no other objections, we can begin.” Mu Huanzhi said with a smile.
Yun Che did not move, his face remained as stiff as usual. He stared at Mu Huanzhi and uttered three words in an extremely stiff voice: “I — refuse!”
In the assessment of the Snow Palace, he was clearly ranked first, yet he was forced to prove himself.
Today, the result clearly showed that he had completely defeated Mu Hanyi... but an additional test was needed!
Why!!
Why do I have to endure this kind of extreme discrimination and injustice time and time again after arriving in the Snow Song Realm?
