“This big idiot, this big idiot who thinks he is asking for trouble, makes me so angry, so angry!” Watching Yun Che being included in the assessment team, Mu Xiaolan was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"Xiao Lan, was he really brought back from the lower realm by the Lord of Bingyun Palace himself?" Mu Sushan walked over and asked with a frown.
“Yes, but…” Mu Xiaolan almost blurted out that it was not because of Yun Che’s great talent, but for other reasons, but fortunately she covered her mouth in time.
Mu Sushan was disappointed and shook his head: "It's rare for Palace Master Bingyun to bring back someone from the lower realm, but he made a mistake in choosing someone. Sigh."
Yun Che's name was added to the list of the first group to be assessed. Mu Fengshu glanced at Li Mingcheng and gently pushed him, "Go back and prepare for the assessment. Although no one in this team should be able to beat you, don't be careless. Han Feng, get ready to start."
"Yes, Palace Master." Ji Hanfeng responded respectfully.
After finishing her instructions, Mu Fengshu did not stay any longer and strode away, not even bothering to look at Yun Che again. It was estimated that as she turned around, she had basically forgotten the appearance of such a humble and "snobbish" little person like Yun Che.
Li Mingcheng walked back to the team. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he just happened to stand next to Yun Che. As soon as he stood still, he glanced at Yun Che and said with a smile: “Boy, I believe you have heard just now that the chief hall master of the Hanxue Palace is my aunt. I have to say that your idea of hugging my aunt’s thigh is very wise. After all, although Mu Bingyun is the master of the Ice Phoenix Palace, everyone knows that she may die one day. But unfortunately… a piece of trash like you is not qualified to flatter my aunt. Otherwise, how about you hug my thigh?”
As he spoke, Li Mingcheng tapped the ground with the tip of his right foot, and looked at Yun Che with his eyes that did not hide his scrutiny of the clown. “Don’t dream about this Hanxue Palace. But as for Luoxue Palace, you might still have a chance in another ten or eight years. If you can listen to me obediently and be my loyal lackey, then when I eat meat in Hanxue Palace, I might give you a few bones from time to time. Do you think I’m scolding you? No, no, no, I’m sincerely pitying you, because you’ve just arrived in the Snow Song Realm, and you’re about to become a big joke. If no one protects you, you’ll always be a joke... What do you think?”
“…” Yun Che crossed his arms across his chest, his eyes half open, without any reaction.
"What? Are you deaf?" Li Mingcheng sneered.
“Alas.” Yun Che let out a deep breath and whispered, “Idiot.”
“What… did you say!!” Li Mingcheng’s face changed drastically, and his facial features suddenly squeezed together. In front of Yun Che, a weakling whose profound strength was only at the middle stage of the Sovereign Profound Realm and who was eager to cling to Mu Fengshu’s thighs, he felt that he was simply an emperor who was high above him, who could look down on him and mock him at will, and could decide his fate at will, and it would be a matter of just moving his fingers to kill him. He even felt that he was a gift to him by taking the initiative to talk to him.
Moreover, considering his performance and intelligence of just now fawning on the powerful and forcing himself to participate in the assessment of the Snow Palace, it should be easy to recruit him as a lackey to be ordered around at will - after all, he will soon be a disciple of the Snow Palace and the nephew of the chief palace master. At the very least, he should be submissive and fearful.
But she never dreamed that Yun Che's response would be filled with disdainful insults!
Li Mingcheng was shivering all over, but this was the Snow Palace, so he couldn't lose his temper. Soon, his expression calmed down little by little, but his eyes were cold. He smiled softly and said, "Good...very good, you are really brave! After today...just wait..."
“…” Yun Che closed his eyes and ignored them. He kept repeating in his mind: Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, don’t cause trouble, huh…
After Mu Fengshu left, Ji Hanfeng, who was in charge of the group assessment, suddenly changed his expression from respectful to arrogant and fierce. He glanced around and said in a deep voice: "The mysterious formation for the second round of assessment has been prepared and can start at any time. But before that, I have something to remind you. There are currently 10,323 people in your group, but only 1,000 can pass the second round of assessment! As for the rest, you can only come back five years later."
On average, only one out of ten people can pass...and this is only the second round.
“Among the thousand people who entered the third round of assessment, only a hundred people can pass.” Ji Hanfeng stretched out his finger and said calmly, “That is to say, among all of you, only one person out of a hundred can finally enter the Frost Snow Palace. The Frost Snow Palace is not a place where just anyone can enter! Some of you may be called geniuses in other parts of the Snow Song Realm, or dominate some lower realms, but when you come here, you must re-evaluate yourselves. If you don’t want to lose too badly, then put away all your former pride... because here, it’s nothing but a joke!”
"Also, let me tell you another piece of good news." Ji Hanfeng took out a crystal bottle slowly and said, "In every year's assessment, the best performers usually receive rewards. After all, trash should be thrown out, and geniuses are entitled to preferential treatment. And this year's rewards, wow, can be said to be the best in nearly ten thousand years. Even I am salivating when I see them."
Ji Hanfeng took the jade bottle in his palm, his movements were quite careful, and he said in a slow tone: "Jade...Falling...Ice...Soul Pill!"
Wow——
As soon as the five words "Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill" came out, the mystics who had been holding their breath instantly let out uncontrollable exclamations. Yun Che looked up and found that everyone around him had bulging eyes, mouths wide open, and swallowing sounds coming from their throats from time to time. Even Li Mingcheng, who was standing next to him, had his eyes wide open, shining brightly, his hands clenched tightly, and he was shaking slightly with excitement.
Even Ji Hanfeng, who was holding the "Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill", had a burning look in his eyes that he tried hard to conceal.
Although Yun Che had heard of the name “Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill” for the first time, judging from the reactions of the people around him… there was no doubt that it was definitely a very good pill even in the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect. For these profound practitioners who were aiming for the Frost Snow Palace, it was even more of an enormous temptation and impact.
“Ah? Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill!?” Mu Xiaolan also exclaimed: “How come the assessment rewards of the Snow Palace this year are so exaggerated?”
"In about thirty months, it will be the Mysterious God Conference." Mu Sushan, who was standing next to Mu Xiaolan, obviously knew the inside story. He said meaningfully, "Anyone can see that this Mysterious God Conference is extremely unusual. The movements of the major king realms are also quite strange. In the God Realm, perhaps something big is about to happen. Therefore, the Great Realm King personally ordered that the resources of the sect should no longer be stingy, and all efforts should be made to cultivate disciples with superior talents. The fact that the Hanxue Palace uses the 'Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill' as the assessment reward this time should also be related to this."
“However,” Ji Hanfeng put away the jade bottle and turned his gaze to Li Mingcheng, his expression suddenly softened: “For our group, unless there is a major accident, this Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill will belong to Junior Brother Mingcheng.”
Countless envious and jealous eyes immediately turned to Li Mingcheng, and at the same time, their desires quickly dimmed... because they knew very well that Li Mingcheng was too outstanding in this group of assessment teams, and no one could compete with him. Although Ji Hanfeng's words were very straightforward, they were facts that everyone knew, and it was not an exaggeration.
Li Mingcheng was shocked and tried his best to suppress the joy and satisfaction on his face. He said quickly: "Brother Hanfeng, you are too kind. Except for a few clowns, those who can stand here are all extraordinary. The next assessment will definitely be a tough battle. This first place... Although I never underestimate myself, I dare not be complacent."
“Haha,” Ji Hanfeng nodded approvingly, “As expected of the chief hall master’s nephew, he is not only extremely talented, but also so humble. Junior Brother Mingcheng will surely add a touch of brilliance to the Hanxue Hall from today on.”
The reason why Ji Hanfeng praised Li Mingcheng so much was not only because his strength was the highest among the assessees, but the key reason, of course, was because he was the nephew of the chief hall master!
Ji Hanfeng's face immediately turned serious, and he waved his hand: "Okay! The second round of the assessment begins now. Those who want to enter the Snow Palace, cheer up!"
Clang!!
As Ji Hanfeng's voice fell, a huge mysterious formation was activated, and white mysterious light shone out from below. A mysterious formation that was a thousand feet wide appeared under the feet of all the assessors in this group, and some cold light shone on each assessor.
"The second level of the test is called 'Blizzard Realm'!" Ji Hanfeng said expressionlessly, "When the profound formation under your feet is activated, you will appear in a world of blizzards. It will be much colder than you imagined. The storm there will sweep you to all directions except the end point."
"And the destination is only three hundred miles ahead of you."
"All you have to do is to withstand the cold and the storm and reach the end. Once you touch the end, you will be taken out of the mysterious formation."
"The first one thousand people who are brought out of the mysterious formation will pass this assessment. As for the rest..." Ji Hanfeng sneered: "You can all get out."
As soon as Ji Hanfeng finished speaking, many people took a deep breath. At this time, a young profound practitioner standing in front suddenly said weakly: "But...but this is unfair...In that kind of environment, those who practice ice profound arts will have a great advantage. People from the Snow Song Realm almost all practice ice profound arts, while we profound practitioners from the lower realms rarely practice ice profound arts...This...this is too unfair to us."
"Fair?" Staring at the mysterious practitioner who was speaking, Ji Hanfeng walked over step by step. As he approached, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's collar. As his whole body flashed with blue light, a thick layer of ice instantly spread over the young mysterious practitioner's body.
Yun Che’s brows twitched suddenly… This person’s profound energy aura was clearly even greater than Mu Xiaolan’s!
"Ah..." The young mystic's pupils dilated and he groaned in fear. He subconsciously wanted to struggle, but his mystical power and movements were completely blocked. He couldn't move at all, and even his consciousness was quickly lost.
"Only the strong are qualified to talk about fairness." Ji Hanfeng narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically: "If you want fairness, you can go back to your lower world and ask for it from those rubbish living on humble planets. Here, you are not qualified!"
BANG!!
The young mystic was thrown to the ground fiercely by Ji Hanfeng. Ice crystals flew in the shattering. The mystics around him quickly retreated, and no one came to help him. Ji Hanfeng turned around and said coldly: "All the mystical skills of my Ice Phoenix Divine Sect are ice-related. People with ice-related mystical skills are more suitable. I have said everything I want to say about this level of assessment. Anyone who says another word of nonsense will get out!"
All the mystics were silent, no one dared to say a word. The young mystic who was thrown to the ground seemed to have been frightened and did not stand up for a long time.
"I'm going to send you to 'Blizzard Realm' now, enjoy it!"
Ji Hanfeng flicked his finger, and suddenly, the mysterious formation under their feet began to spin rapidly. Then a white light shot up into the sky, completely engulfing all the figures.
“Ah… How should I explain this to Master?” Mu Xiaolan looked worried.
