Xiao Han's Test

"Lord Bei Ming, will Elder Xiao, whom you mentioned, agree?"

At this moment, a young figure stood respectfully in front of Bei Ming Long Kun, who was being complained about by Xiao Han behind his back, his eyes filled with unconcealed worry.

"I can't guarantee anything about this old man." Bei Minglong Kun shook his head like a rattle drum, then glanced at the clearly disappointed blue-haired boy Bing Yu, and said in a serious tone:

"Don't be dissatisfied, kid."

"That guy's strength is far beyond what ordinary Elder can compare to."

"If your grandfather hadn't humbled himself and begged me, I wouldn't have dared to provoke him."

"Besides, he's probably the only one you can find right now."

"And only him..."

Unlike his usual lazy and casual demeanor, Bei Ming Long Kun gazed at his old friend's junior with a solemn tone.

"It can give you enough power in a short period of time."

"But there's a prerequisite..."

Changing the subject, Bei Ming Long Kun shook his head and said, "You need to gain his approval or offer something that can move him."

Upon hearing this, Bing Yu pursed her lips. Her reason for coming to the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy to seek help from Bei Ming Long Kun was due to her grandfather's guidance. According to her grandfather, although Bei Ming Long Kun was barely strong and had not even stepped into the Earthly Supreme, he had a long lifespan as Divine Beast and extensive connections. Perhaps he could find a way to help her lineage overcome the crisis.

And indeed, Bei Ming Long Kun did not disappoint him, recommending someone who could solve his problem.

For Bing Yu now, no matter how harsh the conditions are, as long as he can provide them, he will never refuse, because he has no room for refusal.

The only problem is whether that person will get involved in this mess.

The answer to this question will be revealed tomorrow.

The next morning.

Having received advance notice from Dean Tai Cang, the ten preliminary students of the Spiritual Academy Tournament gathered early in front of an inconspicuous Small Courtyard deep within the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy.

Then...

They stood there for three hours, and before they knew it, it was noon. The scorching sun beat down on them, but since they all had cultivation, they were naturally unharmed. However, the long wait was making some of them impatient.

To them, the Elder mentioned by Dean Tai Cang was far too arrogant. They had come under the orders of Dean Tai Cang, and were geniuses who could participate in the Spiritual Academy Tournament, yet they were turned away. This Elder was quite a character!

However, to the surprise of many, Bing Yu, who was at the head of the group, remained standing calmly and motionless, without showing any impatience on her face.

The clever ones among them realized what was happening and quickly suppressed their strange expressions, remaining quiet.

After all, Bing Yu is the youngest, strongest, and most talented among them. He is usually arrogant and awe-inspiring. For this Elder to be so obedient, he must be no ordinary person.

Several more hours passed, and the setting sun gradually disappeared behind the horizon, leaving countless stars hanging in the night sky.

Just when everyone thought they were going to stay up all night, a mocking voice reached their ears.

"Looks like you guys still have some patience!"

Xiao Han sounded somewhat surprised. He had thought that these teenagers, who hadn't experienced much of a beating, would just leave, but it seemed that wasn't the case.

"Come in." His tone was calm, but if anyone were standing next to Xiao Han at that moment, they would have noticed a slight smirk playing on his lips, a blatant display of ill intent.

However, these naive children were clearly unaware of Xiao Han's tactics. Having stood there like statues all day, they visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and without any doubt, pushed open the wooden door in front of the Small Courtyard and filed into the Small Courtyard.

The moment they stepped into the Small Courtyard, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

Bing Yu frowned as he surveyed his surroundings. He was now all alone; his companions had vanished without a trace.

The vast Snowy Plains stretched as far as the eye could see. He reached out to catch a falling snowflake, and the biting cold that came from his palm surprised him. It was no simple matter for him, a descendant of the Ice Spirit Race, to feel the cold.

Just then, Bing Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he instantly left a shadow in his place. The next moment, a thick arm suddenly emerged from the spot where Bing Yu had disappeared in the Snowy Plains.

"Phew~"

Bing Yu looked back at the spot where she had just been standing, still feeling a bit uneasy, and let out a long sigh of relief. That aura was quite terrifying!

Then he frowned. At this point, even the most foolish person could tell that this was a test given to him by the mysterious Elder Xiao. However, he was still completely clueless about the form of the test.

At that moment, a voice suddenly entered Bing Yu's ears, answering his question.

"Defeat the opponent in front of you, and that matter can be discussed."

Upon hearing this, Bing Yu was overjoyed, but the joy did not last long before it froze on her face.

While Bing Yu was pondering, the owner of the giant hand slowly crawled out of the Snowy Plains. When he saw the whole thing, he knew he had been too happy.

The Ice and Snow Giant's hundreds of feet in size made Bing Yu appear as weak and helpless as a chick in its presence. However, this was the norm for humans when facing spirit beasts. What truly made Bing Yu lose his composure was that the Ice and Snow Giant's aura was far superior to his own Heavenly Completion Late Stage cultivation, far surpassing even the strength of most experts who had overcome the Fleshly Body Tribulation.

The culprit that had put Bing Yu in such a difficult position was now watching the light screen in front of her with an air of amusement. The ten areas perfectly encompassed the performance of all the students in the Snowy Plains.

The Bald Elder in Hemp Robes beside him wore a bitter expression. "I said, why did you drag me here?"

"This old man is still busy!"

"Busy?" Xiao Han glanced at him slightly. "Bei Ming, are you sure?"

Over the past two years, the two sides have become quite familiar with each other, and Xiao Han naturally omitted the last two words when addressing him, making no attempt to hide his emotions in his words.

"Say it again, that kid has nothing to do with you!" Xiao Han said angrily, pointing at the light screen image where Bing Yu was.

"Say it with your hand on your heart!"

Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Long Kun actually touched his chest and heart area with a shameless seriousness, and nodded, saying:

"Really, no."

Seeing Xiao Han silently pull out his Cold Qi spear, Bei Ming Long Kun quickly dissuaded him, "I only recommended you; whether you agree or not is up to you."

His tone was quite hurried, otherwise he might have been thrown into the cold storage. He knew that Xiao Han had a hobby of collecting ingredients. In the past two years, Xiao Han had collected countless corpses of spirit beasts, and even a few corpses of Divine Beast.

They were all slaughtered on the spot and then frozen with Spiritual Power. The high-ranking members of the Northern Azure Spiritual Academy, including him, had enjoyed this quite a bit. However, when the object was changed to someone else, the Bei Ming Long Kun obviously wouldn't feel so good about it.

After Xiao Han sheathed his spear, Bei Ming Long Kun felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He secretly wiped the sweat from his palms and changed the subject:

"Are you sure you want that kid to take care of this opponent who's comparable to Spirit Energy Tribulation expert?"

The Spirit Energy Tribulation and the Heavenly Completion Late Stage is two minor realms. Even with the enhancement of the Ice Spirit Race bloodline, it will be no easy task for Bing Yu to defeat this opponent.

"I'm not going to worry about that," Xiao Han said casually, stretching.

"If he wants me to take him on as a disciple, he has to demonstrate his talent."

"Otherwise, why would I offend the Ice Spirit Race, which is renowned Great Thousand World?"

"It's the Ice Spirit Race Main Branch!" Bei Ming Long Kun corrected.

"The main lineage?" Xiao Han glanced sideways at the serious-looking Bei Ming Long Kun and said in an unfriendly tone, "You know about the main lineage too?"

"You don't know the difference between the main vein and its branches?"

Upon hearing this, Bei Ming Long Kun felt embarrassed. He was all too aware of the difference between the two. The number of people in the branch far exceeded that of the main branch, but in terms of top combat power, the main branch could crush the branch. The only Heavenly Supreme Ancestor of the Ice Spirit Race was a member of the main branch.

But Xiao Han didn't pay much attention to it, turning his gaze back to the light screen, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"This kid's got some good potential!"
