“Oh?” Seeing Yun Che, Ji Hanfeng was also stunned for a moment.
"This kid...what's going on? He came out so soon?" Li Mingcheng looked like he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"It's indeed abnormal." Ji Hanfeng glanced at Li Mingcheng's reaction and thought: "Junior Brother Mingcheng, you seem to be quite concerned about this kid. Could it be that the person you just mentioned is him?"
"Yes, it was indeed him. It's a pity that Senior Brother Han Feng laughed at him." Li Mingcheng spread his hands.
“Hahahaha,” Ji Hanfeng laughed. “That’s really interesting. Could it be that he got angry because he tried to curry favor with you but failed, and that made you unhappy?”
“Senior Brother Hanfeng may not believe it if I tell you this,” Li Mingcheng sneered, “This kid is much more ‘capable’ than we thought, probably because he relied on Mu Bingyun’s influence. Humph, forget it, he is just a useless clown after all, and he is not worthy of Senior Brother Hanfeng and I wasting our breath. After the assessment is completed, I can easily kill him if I want.”
"It's better to be a little more cautious." Although he said "cautious", Ji Hanfeng's tone was full of contempt: "After all, it was brought back from the lower realm by the Ice Phoenix Palace Master."
"Hey, Senior Brother Han Feng, you are joking." Li Mingcheng sneered disdainfully: "It is true that he was brought back by Mu Bingyun, but I don't think that a dignified Ice Phoenix Palace Master would go out of her way to protect a piece of trash who has not even entered the divine way and has a problem with his brain. The reason why she brought back such a piece of trash, I guess..." Li Mingcheng's voice suddenly dropped to the lowest: "This kid does have a pretty face that can seduce women. Mu Bingyun knew that she didn't have many days to live, so she thought of bringing a pretty face back to have fun."
“Hahahahahahaha…” Ji Hanfeng laughed wildly: “Junior Brother Mingcheng really sees things clearly. If the Chief Hall Master heard this, he would definitely be happy. Hahahaha.”
"Hey, now I'm particularly curious about how he got into the top thousand."
"Who cares?" Ji Hanfeng curled his lips. "There is no restriction on the use of profound instruments or props in the second level assessment. There are countless ways to cheat. It doesn't matter if you pass it. Besides, you are just the last one. Just think of it as an extra fun. Junior Brother Mingcheng, the next and final level of the assessment is the highlight. You must go all out. After all, the Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill is a sacred medicine that even your senior brother and I can't ask for. If you can refine it perfectly, it will not only increase your profound strength in a short period of time, but also deeply temper your blood and marrow, which will be of great benefit to your future practice of the Ice Phoenix Conferred God Canon."
"Of course." Li Mingcheng looked determined to win. He lowered his voice again and said, "Aunt made me wait until this year to take the test because of this 'Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill'. With this group of people, they are not qualified to snatch it from me."
On the other side, Mu Sushan’s eyes locked onto Yun Che the moment he appeared, and he whispered thoughtfully, “It seems that it is not as simple as it seems.”
“Hey? Senior Su Shan, what did you say?” Mu Xiaolan looked up and asked.
“The Yun Che you brought has passed the second round of the assessment.” Mu Sushan said, “Passing the second round of the assessment of the Frost Snow Palace with a power that is not in the divine way… It seems that this has never happened in the history of the Snow Song Realm.”
“Ah? You said Yun Che… passed the assessment?” Mu Xiaolan was stunned when she heard this. She almost thought there was something wrong with her ears. She subconsciously raised her head and saw Yun Che standing outside the profound formation. Her lips suddenly opened wide.
At this time, with the last flash of white light, the thousandth Xuan practitioner who passed the assessment left the Xuan formation. Instantly, the light of the assessment Xuan formation completely dissipated, revealing more than nine thousand figures in the formation. Most of them slumped to the ground with gloomy faces.
The closure of the Blizzard Realm also meant that they had failed the assessment this time. If they wanted to take the assessment again, they would have to wait at least five years.
"The second round of the assessment is over. Let's congratulate those who passed the assessment." Ji Hanfeng stepped forward and said slowly, then glanced at the formation: "As for you, humph, you can leave now. Practice well and come back in five years!"
After he finished speaking, he grasped with his hand, and another mysterious formation appeared at the same location, instantly teleporting all those who failed the test outside the Hanxue Palace.
“Yun Che…you…you actually passed the test?” Mu Xiaolan stared at Yun Che as he walked over, her face filled with shock.
“You seem very unhappy that I passed.” Yun Che said with a depressed look on his face.
“This has nothing to do with whether you are happy or not!” Mu Xiaolan quickly took a few steps closer to Yun Che and said carefully, “How on earth did you do it? Every one of the people who took the test with you had divine power, and the weakest one was dozens or hundreds of times stronger than you! How could you possibly pass! Could it be that you… used something to cheat?”
“…” Yun Che pressed his forehead: “Well, maybe you guessed it right.”
“Humph! As expected!” The naive Mu Xiaolan did not understand the meaning behind Yun Che’s words: “Could it be that Master told you about the assessment content of the Frost Snow Palace when we were in the Profound Sky Continent, and gave you some kind of profound stone that can travel through the blizzard realm? Humph, no wonder you dared to participate in the assessment of the Frost Snow Palace.”
“Okay, okay, you’re right.” Yun Che curled his lips.
There were a total of one thousand people who passed the second round of assessment, and Yun Che was a complete and only outlier among them. Most of the people's eyes were focused on Yun Che, some were puzzled, and some whispered to each other.
Ji Hanfeng's voice came at this time: "Being able to pass the second level of the assessment has proved your strength to some extent. However, don't be too happy too soon, you have only crossed another threshold. The next third level of the assessment will determine your fate."
Ji Hanfeng's words made the atmosphere at the scene suddenly become extremely solemn. The excitement on the faces of every Xuanzhe completely disappeared, replaced by deep tension. Passing the second level of the assessment only means that they are one step closer to the Hanxue Palace. The next step is the time to truly decide their fate... Whether or not to enter the Hanxue Palace is definitely two completely different destinies.
Of those who passed the assessment, 90% would be eliminated in the final round! This was extremely cruel.
"The last level of the test is called 'Ice Mysterious Realm'." Ji Hanfeng's eyes were stern: "This level of the test is relatively much simpler than the second level. It tests the most important thing in you... that is, your true strength!"
"In the Ice Profound Realm, you will be attacked by powerful mysterious beasts. The longer you are in it, the more mysterious beasts you will encounter! Moreover, the space is limited. You can only fight and there is nowhere to escape! As for how to pass the test of the Ice Profound Realm, I believe you already know it in your heart..."
Ji Hanfeng stretched out his hand: "The longer you can hold on, the better! The 100 people who leave the Ice Profound Realm at the latest will have passed the final assessment, and from now on they will be disciples of my Snow Palace! And the one who holds on the longest will receive the 'Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill'!"
Hearing the name of "Jade Falling Ice Soul Pill" from Ji Hanfeng's mouth, most of the Xuan practitioners still couldn't help but swallow hard.
"The assessment of the Blizzard Realm requires you to teleport your true body to the Blizzard Realm, and you are not restricted to using any mysterious tools, so perhaps someone will cheat by using some teleportation stones or something like that... Oh no, no, no, it can't really be called cheating. Since there is no restriction, it can be considered allowed."
When Ji Hanfeng said these words, he glanced at Yun Che very deliberately: "After all, the second level of the trial is only used to screen out the superfluous people. The third level is what determines the result. Even if a piece of trash uses external objects to pass the second level of the trial, it is impossible for him to pass the final trial. It is also a waste of precious profound instruments that can interfere with the blizzard realm. Tsk tsk. So, we in the Snow Palace have never been bothered to prohibit this meaningless 'cheating'."
“As for the final level of the test, no one should expect to take chances.” Ji Hanfeng sneered, “Because what enters the Ice Profound Realm is not your real body, but your ‘projection’! Your strength and will will be fully projected, but you can’t even think of using any external objects… including your weapons and contracted profound beasts! The only thing you can rely on is your real strength!”
"Once you die in the Ice Profound Realm, you will be teleported out immediately. There will be no second chance. But don't worry, it's only your 'projection' that dies in the Ice Profound Realm. No matter how miserable your death is in there, you will not really die. There will not even be a trace of injury. However, if any of you are afraid of death, you can also shout the word 'give up', and you will be sent out of the Ice Profound Realm as you wish."
"In other words... if you want to pass the test of the Ice Profound Realm, try to die as slowly as possible in there. Do you understand?!"
"Understood!" Li Mingcheng was the first to answer, with a determined smile on his face: "Brother Hanfeng, I'm ready and can start at any time. I just hope that the mysterious beasts in the Ice Profound Realm won't make me too hopeful."
“Very good.” Ji Hanfeng nodded. He stretched out his arm and activated the third profound formation in the same place. This time, it was a deep blue profound light. “Now, all those who have passed the second level test. All stand in the center of the profound formation. The final test that determines your fate... is about to begin!”
Yun Che roughly understood what the third round of the assessment was about. However, it was his first day in the Snow Song Realm, and he did not have a prior understanding of the assessment content like the other assessors. The most crucial point was that in the second round of the assessment, he could still determine his ranking based on the auras of other assessors, but in this final round of the assessment, everyone seemed to be "projected" into an independent space, unable to see the existence of other assessors, let alone interfere with each other, so he could not determine his ranking based on the time he persisted.
If you persist too long and accidentally get a high ranking, you will definitely get yourself into trouble.
If he let him off and fell outside the top 100, he would have no chance of entering the Snow Palace, and his idea of winning face for Mu Bingyun would be shattered.
“Hey, how long do you usually need to persist in the ‘Ice Profound Realm’ trial to pass it?” Yun Che did not immediately walk into the profound formation, but asked in a low voice.
“How should I know? I entered the Ice Phoenix Palace directly and never participated in the Frost Snow Palace Trial.” Mu Xiaolan said proudly, then rolled her eyes at him: “Why are you asking this? You just heard it too. Everyone can see that you must have cheated in the Blizzard Realm. In the Profound Ice Realm, it is absolutely…absolutely…absolutely impossible to cheat.”
“I’m just asking casually.” Yun Che muttered softly. This little girl knows nothing except how to scold people…
"Based on the results of previous years, to pass the Ice Profound Realm test, persisting for a quarter of an hour is the most basic bottom line." Mu Sushan beside Mu Xiaolan suddenly said, "And some great geniuses can even persist for nearly two quarters of an hour. I wish you good luck."
Yun Che turned to look at Mu Sushan, and after being slightly surprised, he nodded and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior.”
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the mysterious formation.
At the same time, Mu Sushan's mouth twitched slightly, and a mysterious look flashed in his eyes.
