What happened to this kid? Before, I begged him to be my apprentice, but he refused to listen. Now it’s fun, and he begged me to accept him as my apprentice. Although what he said was pretty good, I’m not that easy to talk to now.

"Why do you want to be your disciple instead of choosing someone else? I remember there are many good martial artists, how about I recommend them to you?"

Xiao Xuechen obviously declined this matter and had no intention of accepting Xuanyuan Zhi as his disciple.

"I only recognize my master, Xiao Daxian, as my master."

Hearing these words, Xiao Xuechen was shocked in his heart. This boy had such a sincere look in his eyes and made up his mind. Such a sincere attitude was rare. Human eyes cannot deceive.

"As long as your husband doesn't want to accept me as his disciple, I will never give up. I will come every day until your husband agrees."

"It's interesting. This kid is quite sincere." Xiao Xuechen thought to himself, and then he rubbed his chin, and his attitude immediately changed, with a bit of appreciation. This is comparable to the ones more than ten years ago.

The gangsters are much more sincere.

"Okay, tell me the reason first."

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhicheng replied without hesitation: "I want to protect the people around me."

"How can you protect the people around you after learning martial arts?"

Regarding this question, Xuanyuan Zhicheng fell silent. He didn't know how to answer. He was about to open his mouth to answer but held back because he was afraid that he would make a mistake. He only had one chance.

How to protect the people around you? With weapons, force? No, it's much more than that.

My husband taught me martial arts not just to let me kill dragons, but also not to let me take revenge. That would be no different from the dragon clan.

"Not only that, I also want to protect the Elemental Continent, kill all the aliens that cause harm to the Elemental Continent, and crush Andreas' conspiracy! I will inherit everything my husband taught me and benefit people like me who are dedicated to learning martial arts."

As Xuanyuan Zhicheng spoke, he stood up quickly and clasped his hands on his chest. While bowing, he shouted loudly: "I beg you, sir, to accept me as your disciple!"

Then, Xuanyuan Zhicheng raised his hands above his head, bent down to salute, put his hands together in front of his chest, and saluted with his hands, showing great respect to the people in front of him, indicating that the master is the heaven and the earth.

Xiao Xuechen was very satisfied. This boy behaved very politely and couldn't find anything picky about him at all.

"Xuanyuan Zhicheng, words are useless, I want to see your actual actions."

"Sir, what you mean is..."

Xuanyuan Zhicheng didn't understand this. What did actual action mean? Could it be that the master had some test for him? Only if he passed it could he be accepted as his disciple.

"follow me."

After Xiao Xuechen finished speaking, he walked towards the west. Xuanyuan Zhicheng followed closely behind him, not daring to neglect, and bowed his hands in a respectful manner throughout the process.

At this time, Xiao Xuechen was thinking: "Boy, if you had accepted me as your disciple earlier, you would have become a master of dragon slaying long ago. It would not be a problem to fight alone with the prehistoric level, and you wouldn't have just started now."

But fortunately, it's not too late now. I will do my best to cultivate you into a peerless master in the shortest possible time.

There are breathtaking valleys and mountain glaciers here, which are so beautiful that people can't help but wonder whether this is a world of ice and snow.

It has a film and television feel like Frozen, with the gorgeous ice crystal color like a crystal palace, immersing yourself in it.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng was amazed by this. I never knew that there was such a beautiful place in the environment where I lived before. It felt like I was in a beautiful palace!

But as the saying goes? Beauty is often accompanied by danger.

Xiao Daxian naturally has his reasons for bringing me here. Since it is a test, I will definitely pass it. Even if I fail this time, I will continue until he agrees. I believe in Xiao Daxian.

Xiao Xuechen didn't stop yet and continued to walk forward. He walked for about a quarter of an hour before he stopped at the place in front of him.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng looked around and saw that it was full of frost. Almost everything here was covered with ice and snow, but the water in the river was not frozen, which made people start to think about it.

Why is this water not frozen even though other things are frozen? Although it looks very cold, it is just ice water.

Logically speaking, it should be the same when other things are frozen, and it shouldn't be special. But why is this?

Xuanyuan Zhicheng was about to ask, but Xiao Xuechen spoke directly as if he could guess what he was thinking.

"Don't be so surprised. This is elemental water, which is certainly different from ordinary river water. Otherwise, it would have been frozen into an ice pool long ago."

Xuanyuan Zhicheng suddenly realized that this was the case. I asked him why he was not frozen. It turned out to be this.

"Although it is a water element, the area around here is full of ice, which also means that it is colder than ordinary river water."

In this case, if you want to "swim" here, wouldn't you be asking for trouble? Most people are probably frozen into ice. If you don't have some strength, you really don't dare to take a bath in a place like this.

"If you can pass my test, I will accept you as my disciple."

Xuanyuan Zhicheng's eyes deepened after hearing this. Is it really a test? Although the water looks very cold, it doesn't matter. I can give it a try. In order to become Xiao Daxian's apprentice, I will risk my life!

"I understand sir."

After Xuanyuan Zhicheng finished speaking, he was about to walk to Binghe. At this time, Xiao Xuechen added: "Wait a minute, take off your clothes first. I remember that your team uniform can be kept at a constant temperature, right?"

Xuanyuan Zhicheng gave a stiff smile at this, "Well, I didn't expect Xiao Daxian to even remember this, or was he secretly observing me from the first time I saw him. No matter what, these are not important anymore."

"Yes, it's true." Xuanyuan Zhicheng didn't dare to deny it, so he chose to tell the truth.

"Take off your team uniform and go in, don't ask why."

Xuanyuan Zhicheng was dumbfounded. Oh my god, taking off the team uniform and entering an ice pool like this? Did I hear you right? I feel cold when I look at it. I still have to take off the team uniform? Then I will freeze to death.

However, if I think about it carefully, since it is my husband's request, I will definitely comply. No matter how cold it is, I have to go in.

"yes!"

"Stay in there for two hours, and I will calculate the time to call you out."

For such a big glacial lake, it's better to just go in and not swim, otherwise it will be very strenuous.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng tentatively put his index finger into the ice water. He felt an unprecedented coldness at the moment of contact.

It was so cold, I just put my hand on it and felt so cold that I shivered all over and my body almost froze, not to mention that it took all my body to go in.

"I will wait for you, don't think about being lazy." After Xiao Xuechen said that, he left in a hurry, leaving Xuanyuan Zhicheng standing still.

It's so cold. I really have to... No, I can't stand here doing nothing. It's hard to get this opportunity. I'd better hurry in. I have to pass the assessment as soon as possible and I can't let him down!

Xuanyuan Zhicheng took off his coat without hesitation, leaving only his inner clothes. Even though he only took off the outer layer of protective clothing, he felt cold and shivering all over, and he didn't dare to go in.

It's so cold... It feels the same as the last time I went to the ice cave for a mission. The difference is that it wasn't that cold last time when I was wearing the team uniform, but this time it's very different. Without the protection of the team uniform, it's like being on a chopping block.

Fish and meat are left to be slaughtered.

Take a deep breath and jump right in without hesitation!

As soon as Xuanyuan Zhicheng took a step forward, he almost fainted. How could it be so cold? This is completely like a rhythm that would freeze people into ice sculptures!

No, the other foot has to come in, take your time, let me have an adaptation process, don't rush, just take your time step by step.

It took a lot of effort to muster up the courage and step forward with the other foot. The lower half of my body was covered with an icy coldness, and I felt like my body was not even my own.

In the first moment, my limbs were stiff and my whole body was shaking. I couldn't control it, so I subconsciously touched my arm.

It's so cold. How could this water be so cold? Although my body was only half soaked, it made me shiver all over. This cold chill that enveloped my whole body made it hard for me to breathe.

"Hey kid, don't just go in halfway. Squat down completely, or walk inside. The water level is higher over there, leaving only one head. I'll be watching you at any time."

The sudden sound almost frightened Xuanyuan Zhicheng. I was already panicking from the cold, but this time I didn't pay attention and it really scared me half to death.

Please, Xiao Daxian, can you give me a signal when you want to speak? I feel nothing but cold now, and I don’t want to speak. I just want this time to pass quickly. My whole body is numb from the cold and I can’t move my limbs.

Forget it, you said that, what can I do? I no longer have the energy to move forward, so I might as well squat down quickly. This will make me feel better and at least give me some psychological comfort.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng finally controlled himself, and struggled to move his stiff body, preparing to squat down little by little. His legs felt like he couldn't keep up, and his whole body was numb from the cold. It was painful to move.

People feel strenuous.

The area that was originally warmer than the lower body suddenly fell into the coldness of an ice cave, and my soul almost died.

It felt like I was about to go see the Lord of Hell. It was so cold that I couldn't open my eyes. How could ordinary people survive in such icy river water?

And if the elements are restrained, water can suppress fire, even if it is ice water.

It's so cold...it makes my limbs numb.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng's legs were shaking so much that he almost curled up together, wishing he could find a heater to keep warm.

It feels like living here is like a year, and every minute is very painful, not to mention that I have to stay for as long as two hours! After such a long time, it is probably less than a quarter of an hour, and there is still so much time.

Has Xiao Daxian accepted other disciples before? Did they pass this test? Did he say the same thing to them?

And what did those people think at the time? Among them, will there be people complaining here, or even saying bad things about Xiao Daxian? In fact, this is all reasonable. After all, no one wants to stay here for such a long time.

long time.

An hour and a half later

It's so cold, the cold that bites into my heart. My body is no longer my own. The further back I go, the more unbearable it becomes. I feel like my throat is freezing. It's even harder to speak. It feels like my throat is blocked. It's so uncomfortable.

, as if a foreign object was stuck in the throat.

I feel like my consciousness has weakened, I can't open my eyes, I'm in a daze, I really want to sleep here.

No, Xuanyuan Zhicheng, you can't sleep, not even for a short break, not even for a second!

Xuanyuan Zhicheng, hold on...you have to let Xiao Daxian see your sincerity! I can do it, hold on, I can't sleep no matter what.

I'm so tired, Xiao Daxian, master... I only know you as my master, and I don't want anyone else. I trust you, and I will never let you down.

His eyes were half-open, and he was about to close them soon. He could no longer hold on any longer. Once he closed his eyes, the test would fail, and all the hard work he had put in would be in vain. In the end, could Xuanyuan Zhicheng be able to use his tenacious strength?
