Cold... so cold, it feels like your bones are about to freeze. Xuanyuan Zhicheng, you can't sleep, you can't sleep...

Xuanyuan Zhicheng kept telling himself that no matter what happened, he could not close his eyes and must persevere. It would be over soon.

But... facing this situation is really unbearable, and the strong sleepiness forces him to be unable to open his eyes, and his eyelids are about to close. What should he do...

It felt like there was a little person next to him who kept telling him to sleep quickly, and this voice was like a lullaby, constantly warming Xuanyuan Zhicheng's ears.

Just when Xuanyuan Zhicheng was about to fall asleep, a clear voice came from his mind: "Zhicheng, wake up, you can't sleep! Zhicheng, wake up!"

That was the voice of Linghu Yuxuan, the girl he loved most in his life.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng reacted and restrained his thoughts of giving up.

No, I can't sleep. I came here to protect the people around me, so... open your eyes, I can't sleep!

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Zhicheng suddenly opened his half-open eyes, and all his sleepiness seemed to be gone.

At this time, he was inhaling and exhaling heavily, his forehead was covered with sweat, and everything around him was extremely quiet, and he could only hear the sound of flowing water.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng only felt tired all over.

It was so dangerous that I almost fell asleep. Fortunately, I had you.

Xuan'er, are you calling me? I feel a voice in my head calling me.

I already have you in my subconscious. Obviously we have only been together for a short time, but don't worry, I will definitely become stronger and protect you, I swear.

a moment later

"time up."

Xiao Xuechen saw Xuanyuan Zhicheng still tenaciously soaking in the water, and nodded with satisfaction. This kid has some perseverance. Most people would have fallen asleep long ago, and even lied to themselves that they had completed the task, but Xuanyuan Zhicheng couldn't.

Likewise, he finally restrained himself from sleep with his strong willpower.

"Jie, is it over?" Xuanyuan Zhicheng was trembling, his whole body was shaking unconsciously, and he subconsciously touched his arm.

His face turned pale, and he suddenly realized that his body seemed to be unconscious. His legs seemed unable to move and were numb.

Move quickly, why don't you obey orders?

"Well, come out of the glacier quickly."

"Yes..." Xuanyuan Zhicheng took a deep breath, panted hard, and prepared to stand up little by little. Because he had been soaked for too long, a strong chill enveloped his whole body, and he couldn't help but shiver, because

Feeling cold and shivering all over.

It was cold, my whole body was cold, it was biting cold, it felt like a knife cutting my body, ruthlessly plundering every inch of flesh and blood, I could only feel my whole body trembling.

I finally got through it but couldn't move, what should I do? I must not let Xiao Daxian help me up, I have to prove my sincerity.

"Please give me some time."

Xuanyuan Zhicheng moved with difficulty. No, I have to slow down. It's too cold. I have to walk slowly. I can't be so numb that I lose consciousness.

At this time, Xiao Xuechen was thinking to himself: "This kid is still showing off his strength. Should I say you are stubborn or strong?"

Boy, I see your sincerity in my eyes, I watched the whole process.

It seems that the apprentice I am accepting this time is very interesting. Xuanyuan Zhicheng, I have already recognized you.

Xiao Xuechen: "Okay, it's best to hurry up."

Xuanyuan Zhicheng's face darkened just when he heard this, and I wanted to hurry up, but my legs didn't work. Even though the distance was not far, it was really hard to walk. The biting chill never diminished even half a bit.

, I finally took a step forward, but my other leg couldn’t exert any strength, as if it was frozen.

It's so cold... Now I just want to find a warm campfire to keep warm. It's really too cold. Try harder, work harder, and hurry up... and get out.

It took about ten minutes for Xuanyuan Zhicheng to successfully struggle out of the glacier, but his legs were shaking uncontrollably, and he felt that his whole body was no longer his.

"What, how about it, do you... approve of me?" Xuanyuan Zhicheng was trembling, his legs and feet were feeling a little uncomfortable.

"You have successfully passed my test, why don't you come and see the master soon?"

Xuanyuan Zhicheng was immediately overjoyed, great, all the efforts have been in vain, the master is finally willing to accept me as his disciple!

Xuanyuan Zhicheng's current mood is difficult to describe in words. Just as he was about to kneel down, his leg fell forward uncontrollably.

Oops, my legs are numb after running for too long. I can’t seem to kneel down anymore. I’m embarrassed in front of Master.

Xiao Xuechen had no intention of helping Xuanyuan Zhicheng up, but just looked at him quietly.

"Don't worry, you just soaked in ice water, just take your time and you'll be fine."

"Yes!" It's my fault that I was too impatient just now, just like in the glacier before, take your time, don't rush.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng kept telling himself to slow down. After finally adjusting his breathing, he felt a little better. Without enough time to rest, he immediately knelt down to the person in front of him and clasped his fists with both hands very respectfully:

"Xuanyuan Zhicheng, the 21st generation great-great-grandson of the Xuanyuan family, is here. Today he worships Xiao Daxian as his master. He will be a master for a day and a father for a lifetime. He will definitely live up to his heavy responsibility. I would like to thank my master for the martial arts he taught me."

"Get up and put on your clothes first so you don't catch a cold."

"Yes!" After Xuanyuan Zhicheng finished speaking, he quickly stood up to find some clothes to put on, with a beautiful smile on his face unconsciously.

Xiao Xuechen shook his head helplessly. Who wouldn't want to put on his clothes quickly when he first landed ashore? This guy is good. In order to show his sincerity, he eagerly wanted to be my apprentice. His attitude is correct, which shows your sincerity.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng, actually I recognized you from the first time I met you.

Your kindness, sincerity, and a heart that wants to protect others;

I don't accept all my apprentices. The most important thing is sincerity. If a person doesn't even have basic courtesy, I will directly ask them to take him back. This child is different than what I have seen before. He will surprise others.

An unexpected surprise.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng felt much better after getting dressed. He first put his hands into his sleeves, as if he was looking for something. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find anything else, so Xuanyuan Zhicheng felt extremely embarrassed.

Xuanyuan Zhicheng suddenly panicked, what the hell, why is there nothing? He originally wanted to take out a valuable item and give it to Xiao Xuechen as his apprenticeship gift, but now...

Now, even though he has searched everywhere on his body, he still can't find a suitable gift. Now, why didn't he think of preparing something in the first place?

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Zhicheng's cheeks started to turn red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. This was so embarrassing.

I haven’t prepared any gifts for my apprenticeship. What should I do? The master is still watching.

Xiao Xuechen saw through Xuanyuan Zhicheng's actions at a glance. This kid is preparing a gift for me, right? Don't worry, I don't care about those vain things as a teacher. I will accept you as a disciple. The most important thing is to make you available in a short time.

Become a master dragon slayer.

"Xuanyuan Zhicheng obeys the order!"

After hearing Xiao Xuechen's order, Xuanyuan Zhicheng had to kneel down and listen carefully to every word the master said. His gestures were also very standard, without any hint of tiredness.

"During the course, the income goes to the teacher. Even though he is divided into master and apprentice, the friendship is the same as father and son. You should be respectful to the teacher, receive the training yourself, never forget it, show your true feelings, never go back on your words, and show your solemnity."

"I will keep this in mind, and I am willing to use everything my master has taught me on the right path, and not to do anything harmful to my sect. If I violate this, I will be abandoned by both humans and gods, and I will not die a good death!"

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xuechen nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, this is the momentum I want! This is my apprentice, Xiao Xuechen!"

After Xuanyuan Zhicheng completed the apprenticeship ceremony, the two of them frankly found a place to sit down.

"Boy, is the water cold?"

Xiao Xuechen knows this best. Just look at his reaction, his face turned pale with cold.

I am very familiar with the temperature here. It felt very cold when I first entered, but later I became used to it and it felt like a hot spring bath.

"Yes, Master, this is more than just cold, this is completely like hell on earth!"

Xuanyuan Zhicheng said that after I experienced it once, I would not think about experiencing it a second time. This is simply a life-threatening thing.

"It's not like I haven't experienced your master before." Xiao Xuechen said calmly.

"Hey, has Master experienced it too?" Xuanyuan Zhicheng was surprised by this. He didn't expect Master to have experienced it, so how did Master persevere in the end?

"Yes, I have tried to practice in magma areas, but instead of soaking in pool water, people will be reduced to ashes. I just tried to practice my calmness in the hot atmosphere. Not only that, I have also been to many places."

Xuanyuan Zhicheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Huh, it scared me. I thought someone could really walk in magma. If he could do it, he would be a real god.

"Do you know why I brought you here to test you?"

"If you reply to Master, I don't know."

Xiao Xuechen: "Although this river is very icy, once you get used to it, you won't feel so cold, and you can even strengthen yourself. Don't believe it, I did this when I was young, otherwise you think you

Why is Master so strong?"

Xuanyuan Zhicheng was very surprised after hearing this. His pupils dilated. The river looked very icy, but he didn't expect it to have such a big effect!

Having said that, Master's willpower is really tenacious. I tried it once and felt that I couldn't stand it. But this kind of willpower needs to persist for a long time to be effective. After all, there is a saying that goes well, the sharp edge of a sword emerges from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms emerges from the bitter cold.

Come.

And can I also become a person like Master? When you first accepted your apprenticeship, I thought you were just a liar. Since you taught me the skills twice, I realized that you, Master, are not an ordinary person, so I really want to worship you.

As a teacher.

"Master, you are not old now."

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Zhicheng actually made a joke about Xiao Xuechen at this time, and he didn't take it at all. Besides, it was just an appearance, silly boy. I didn't expect that time would fly by so fast, and in the blink of an eye...

"I am indeed older than you young people."

Today's children are more talented than the last, and even more powerful. I am looking forward to the rise of your generation, and it is time to get rid of these dragons and alien beasts.

"From now on, you can only find me after dusk, preferably at night. I won't show up at other times."

Xuanyuan Zhicheng was very surprised after hearing this, hiss, isn't it supposed to be during the day? Although he also has time at night, why is this?
