The white light gradually faded, and the biting cold air came from all directions. Yun Che opened his eyes, and in front of him was a world of white snow. From the sky to the ground, it was all white, with almost no other colors. Around him were other examinees. Although the place where they were was cold, the air was exceptionally quiet.
But just in front of them, a whistling sound that was so sharp that it was almost piercing continued to be heard.
This is the "Blizzard Realm" of the second level of the assessment in the Snow Palace. If you want to pass this level, you have to be the first one thousand to go through the blizzard and cold wind to reach the end... The end is three hundred miles ahead.
Three hundred miles was only a very short distance for a mystic at their level, and the content was also extremely simple and straightforward. Although the place where they were at the moment was cold, it was not at all unbearable, let alone any sense of oppression.
However, this is an assessment from the divine world, how could it be as simple as it seems?
Phew!!!
The surrounding profound energy was turbulent, and countless explosions erupted almost at the same moment. Only one thousand people could pass this assessment, and the remaining nine thousand would be cruelly eliminated. In addition, most of them were of similar strength, and a delay of a moment could lead to two completely different fates. Therefore, the profound practitioners who entered the Storm Realm had no intention of appreciating the surrounding scenery like Yun Che did. Instead, they confirmed the direction of the end point as soon as they appeared, and then surged with profound energy, rushing towards the blizzard world in the north at the fastest speed.
More than 10,000 profound masters of the Divine Origin Realm exploded at the same time. The momentum was so huge that it was simply earth-shaking. The surrounding flying snow and ice were all violently blown up.
However, not everyone rushed to the finish line at the first moment. Three people stayed where they were.
Yun Che, Li Mingcheng, and the young profound practitioner who was just taught a lesson by Ji Hanfeng.
Although he had been teleported to the blizzard, he still sat on the ground, looking pale, obviously having suffered a great blow. From beginning to end, no one paid any attention to him, and almost forgot his existence.
Li Mingcheng turned around and looked at Yun Che with a sneer… He knew better than anyone else what lay ahead in the Blizzard Realm. He was extremely confident that even if he deliberately let others win, no one would be able to reach the end point earlier than him.
Seeing Yun Che staying where he was, he didn’t find it strange at all, because in his eyes, such a “stuff” would only be at the bottom even if he tried his best, and there was no need to even try. He stared at Yun Che and sneered, “Yun boy, I originally thought you were a smart man who knew the current situation, but I didn’t expect that you are such a complete idiot! Do you know that it would be easier for me to crush you to death than to step on an ant! I gave you a chance with good intentions just now, but you didn’t know what was good for you and even dared to scold me!”
"However, I am not such a petty person. I can give you another chance. If you kneel down and admit your mistake now..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Che had already turned and walked towards the young profound practitioner who had been slumped on the ground. He ignored his words and didn't even look at him.
"..." Li Mingcheng's face froze. He quickly glanced at the north and said coldly, "Forget it. I'm actually wasting my time with a piece of trash. Yun Che, you're courting death. Wait for death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew up, as fast as lightning. Although he had enough confidence, he didn't dare to be too arrogant, because what he wanted was not to pass the test, but to be the first! !
Yun Che had indeed remembered the three rules that the Little Demon Queen had given him. If it had been in the Profound Sky Continent, he would never have chosen to turn a deaf ear to Li Mingcheng's repeated humiliations. He walked up to the young profound practitioner and extended his hand to him: "Get up. It must have been very difficult to get here from the lower realms. It would be a shame if you were defeated like this."
The young mystic raised his head and saw that it was Yun Che. He was obviously stunned for a moment, but he still grabbed Yun Che’s hand and stood up. His smile was a little stiff, “Although, these words coming out of your mouth are really hard to convince people... but you are right.”
"The assessment has just begun. Although it's unfair, at least... I can't fail before it even starts!" He gritted his teeth and then burst out with profound energy: "My name is Feng Mo, and I come from a star realm called 'Huanze Realm'. What about you?"
“Yun Che, I’m from the Blue Pole Star. However, you should have heard me just now. I was brought here by Fairy Mu. I can’t get here with my own abilities.” Yun Che said.
"Blue Pole Star... Planet?" The young mystic was slightly surprised. On a certain level, a planet is a lower existence than a star realm. He nodded and said, "Although I despise your betrayal just now, based on what you just said... If you have any problems in the Ice Phoenix Realm in the future, you can try to find me. I might be able to help you once or twice."
“Although I cultivate the earth-type profound strength… but here, I may not be unable to defeat those people from the Snow Song Realm!” He gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward.
“Your target should be Ji Hanfeng,” Yun Che suddenly said, “He can humiliate you so wantonly because he is stronger than you and has a higher status than you. Among so many people who participated in the assessment, you are the only one who dared to question it. This is enough to prove that you are a person with a strong personality. You will definitely not be able to let go of the humiliation today, right? But if you can’t even take this first step today, you have no right to talk about the future.”
Feng Mo’s eyes moved slightly. He looked at Yun Che deeply. The profound energy surrounding his body suddenly surged again. He turned into a stream of light yellow and suddenly shot towards the north.
“Alas,” Yun Che muttered to himself, “Am I meddling in other people’s business again… Phew, forget it, forget it. I have to listen to Cai Yi and keep a low profile. I must keep a low profile. Before I meet Jasmine, I must not provoke anyone or anything…”
After repeating this several times, Yun Che finally stood up and flew forward. Just after he flew less than half a mile, he felt the temperature drop suddenly. A strong cold wind suddenly blew, as if a large, cold hand hit him head-on, trying to push him backwards.
And this was just the beginning. As he moved forward, the temperature continued to drop, and the strong wind turned into a gale. When he had advanced for dozens of miles, the surroundings had suddenly turned into a world of blizzard, and the wind had turned into an extremely terrifying storm.
The extreme cold froze everyone’s bodies and froze their profound energy. The flying snow obscured their vision and perception. The storm swept them in different directions… and the combination of these three factors formed a world that was enough to make even Shinto profound practitioners despair step by step.
However, there is one exception, and that is Yun Che.
Because the extreme cold and blizzard had no effect on him, the only thing that could hinder him was the storm. However, since his body and profound strength would not be weakened by the extreme cold, he could resist the storm much more easily than other profound practitioners.
Before the 100-mile mark, all the profound practitioners were able to handle it calmly. But after the 100-mile mark, their speed dropped sharply. When they reached 150 miles, some of the lower realm profound practitioners who had a weaker foundation and did not cultivate ice profound strength had been frozen to the point of turning purple all over. They could not even mobilize half of their profound strength and gradually became unable to move. Some were even caught in the sudden storm and were thrown to who knows where, emitting waves of terrified screams.
After reaching 200 miles, screams were heard one after another. More and more mystics were swallowed up in the blizzard, and every step forward for the remaining people was extremely difficult.
Yun Che fully activated his profound strength and moved forward quickly in the blizzard. The further he moved forward, the more violent the wind and snow became. He could not see who was who at all. He could only see blurry figures struggling desperately or being swept away by the storm. The screams that continued to ring out were soon buried in the blizzard.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was not affected by the extreme cold, Yun Che shuttled through the wind and snow, quickly surpassing wave after wave of people, while roughly calculating the number of profound practitioners he had surpassed in his mind. Later, he began to deliberately slow down his speed, and his profound energy gradually converged, slowly moving forward in the face of the terrifying storm.
To pass the test, he had to be in the first thousand to reach the finish line. And within the thousand, the lower the ranking, the better... because he wanted to pass the test, and at the same time, he had to be as low-key as possible. It was surprising enough that he passed the test with his profound strength that was not in the way of the gods. If he ranked too high, he would not be able to keep a low profile in the future.
In the main hall of Hanxue, the 108 huge profound formations were all flashing white light. Time passed quickly, and the time for the results to be released was gradually approaching. The disciples of Hanxue Hall who were in charge of the assessment also focused their attention on the profound formations. They only wanted the results, and although they had the means to see what happened in the Hanxue Realm, they were too lazy to see it.
After all, it's the same every year.
"Hey, let's finish it quickly." Mu Xiaolan squatted on the ground with a melancholy face. It had been nearly two quarters of an hour since Yun Che and the others entered the Snowy Realm, and it was almost time for them to come out. During this time, she couldn't help wanting to abandon Yun Che several times, but she finally forced herself to stay. Mu Bingyun hadn't made any movement, and she didn't dare to take the initiative to send a message... After all, she was with the Great Realm King now.
As for the result of Yun Che's participation in this assessment... Is there any need to ask?! Just thinking about it made Mu Xiaolan want to cover her face and leave him alone to run away.
Clang!!
Suddenly, a white light flashed in front of the mysterious formation. Ji Hanfeng, who was in charge of the test, narrowed his eyes. When he saw the first figure appear, he took the initiative to walk forward and laughed, saying, "This is really an unsurprising result. As expected of the nephew of the chief hall master, although I have overestimated it as much as possible, the time used is still much shorter than I predicted."
The first person to come out of the mysterious formation, and also the first person to pass the second level assessment, was Li Mingcheng!
Ji Hanfeng's words were somewhat flattering, because with Li Mingcheng's talent and his status as the nephew of the chief hall master, his status would definitely not be lower than his after he entered the Hanxue Hall.
Li Mingcheng smiled and said, "Brother Hanfeng, you are too kind. However, if it weren't for a small matter that delayed us, Brother Hanfeng would have had to wait a little shorter."
"Oh?" Ji Hanfeng smiled and said, "A small matter delayed you? Could it be that someone overestimated his own abilities and challenged Junior Brother Mingcheng in the Snowy Land?"
"He's just a clown. Don't take him seriously." Li Mingcheng said with a smile.
A full hundred breaths after Li Mingcheng came out, the second Xuan practitioner who had completed the assessment finally appeared. Then, the frequency of the white light flashing in front of the Xuan formation became faster and faster, from a dozen people to dozens of people, and then to more than a hundred people... several hundred people...
Many of the mystics who passed the test fell to the ground, gasping for breath, overwhelmed with joy.
More and more people completed the assessment. When the thousandth Xuan practitioner passed the test in Blizzard, the Xuan array at the end would automatically close, and the assessment would end. At this moment, more than 900 people had come out, and the closer they got to the end, the more frequent the flashes of Xuan light became.
The nine hundred and sixty-sixth person...
The nine hundred and sixty-seventh person...
The nine hundred and sixty-eighth person...
Li Mingcheng stood beside Ji Hanfeng, looking down at those profound practitioners who were far behind him with the eyes of a king. When it came to the 970th person and the assessment profound formation was about to close, Li Mingcheng's eyes jumped suddenly and then widened a few points in an instant.
Because the 970th person who walked out of the mysterious formation was a figure that should never appear.
Yun Che!!
