Chu Jiang and the others walked towards the cave together. After a battle with Lao Zu, the distance between the five of them was much closer.

Especially Wang Yue and Tian Yaer, two hands in arm, talking and laughing in front of the three of them, giggling laughter came from time to time, so unhappy.

Entering the cave, a chill came over the face. Restrained in casualness, everyone became serious and continued to move forward.

The cave road is crooked, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide, for a long time, a bend, the field of vision suddenly opens up.

The white mist was low and covered the ground, and the huge cave seemed to be outside the mountain, too empty.

"Hello everyone, I'm the chief examiner of the third competition, you can call me Elder Sun," the white mist in front of everyone bubbled up, and then exploded, revealing one of the figures.

"The Winter Pool is an extremely cold place, and the meaning of extreme ice contained in it can instantly freeze a person from the Yuan Tu Realm into ice, which is also a great threat to the Cloud Sea Realm and even the Lingtai Realm," Elder Sun said slowly.

Everyone looked at each other, except for people from their own sects like Qingshan and Tian Ya'er, the disciples from other affiliated sects and families knew very little about the Winter Pool, only that they could improve their soul power and wash away the impurities in their bodies.

"But it is precisely this Extreme Ice Meaning that can stimulate the soul power, stimulate the physical body, and in the confrontation between the two, slowly penetrate, merge with each other, and finally achieve the purpose of ascension," Elder Sun continued.

"So the third comparison is to see how strong your resistance to the Polar Ice Intention is, only the top seven strongest will be eligible to enter the Winter Pool, and only in this way can the benefits of the Winter Pool be maximized. ”

Elder Sun pointed to the white mist behind him, "A few steps further, under the white mist is a pool of water, which dilutes the water of the winter pool, so it also contains a faint meaning of extreme ice, but don't underestimate this faint meaning of extreme ice, it is not at the same level as the one you have encountered before." ”

"Your task is to soak in it, and the seven who hold on the longest will be eligible to enter the Winter Pool. Elder Sun finally said.

"It turns out that the rules of this third comparison are so simple," Chu Jiang released his divine sense, and when he touched the pool water through the white mist, he found that his divine sense had become a little dull.

"If you are ready, you can enter directly, if you can't hold on, call for help in time, I will scoop you up, don't be strong, otherwise it will cause irreparable frostbite to the body. ”

After saying that, Qingshan was the first to walk out and jumped into the pool.

Tian Ya'er took off the outermost splendid robe, "Don't get wet, otherwise the embroidery on it will break." ”

Putting it away, Tian Ya'er raised her eyebrows at Chu Jiang and the others, "Let's go." ”

The four, along with most of the other contestants, jumped into the pool to start the third competition.

When his body touched the pool water, a piercing chill directly penetrated Chu Jiang's body, but it disappeared immediately.

"Huh?"

Chu Jiang's brows furrowed slightly, and every time a trace of extreme ice entered his body, it would disappear immediately, which was very strange.

Looking around, even Qingshan's face changed slightly, he should have endured the erosion of the Extreme Ice Intent, but he didn't react.

"I don't know why, but it's like going straight to the finals. ”

Chu Jiang couldn't help but smile bitterly and muttered, but he didn't expect that the last competition would be the most relaxed.

Time passed little by little, and when it was two hours old, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and chose to give up. It was as if a chain reaction had been triggered, and several people withdrew one after another.

After that, the pool returned to calm again, and it was not until four hours before one of them was frozen all over his body and was scooped up by Elder Sun.

"This year's disciples seem to be much better than before," Elder Sun paid attention to the changes of everyone in the pool, and in the past, more than half of them had failed at this time.

"Huh?" Elder Sun noticed Chu Jiang and found that he was very calm, his soul power did not stagnate, and even his face was as rosy as ever.

The divine sense scanned it a few times, but it didn't find any treasures it used for cheating, "Could it be that this is inherently very resistant?"

Elder Sun muttered, but he couldn't directly interrupt Chu Jiang's game, so he pulled it over and studied it carefully.

When the six hours came, a large number of contestants couldn't hold on and withdrew from the competition one after another, and Elder Sun was very busy.

Soon, there were only thirteen people left in the pool, and as soon as six more people quit, the game was over.

Ten minutes later, Wang Yue's face was pale, his lips were purple, he raised his hand to withdraw from the game, and was rescued back to shore.

Holding a cup of hot decoction in his hand, he took a sip, and the coolness on his body gradually eased, "Chu Jiang, you have to come on." ”

For six and a half hours, there were still twelve people in the pool.

Qingshan and Tian Ya'er's eyelashes were covered with frost, but because they had the highest strength, they could still persevere. Chen Chuhe's soul power is pure, infinitely close to the meaning of Extreme Ice, so he is quite comfortable.

The others were not so optimistic, but they persevered.

The only monster among them is Chu Jiang, because he is the most normal one, as if he is soaking in ordinary water.

With his eyes closed, Chu Jiang even began to cultivate the second form of Shuiyun Flowing Silk: Ten Thousand Binding Silk.

In the second comparison, the Ten Thousand Chains released by the Ancestor before, in fact, Chu Jiang had not really mastered it, and he was just desperate at that time, because he knew that even if Qingshan and Tian Ya'er tried their best, they would not be able to block the attack of the Giant Lotus.

However, although it was successfully performed, it was a pity that it did not really trap the ancestor.

Therefore, Chu Jiang took advantage of this time to deepen the impression of Wan Tiesi in his mind.

When the time reached the seventh hour, finally another person could no longer resist and was rescued back to shore.

It lasted until the eighth hour, when the eighth contestant gave up and the real top seven was born.

Chu Jiang, Qing Shan, Tian Ya'er, and Chen Chuhe occupy four seats, and the remaining three are all disciples of the Fengxue Sect, and sure enough, there is still a big gap between the sect and the affiliated sects.

"Congratulations to the seven of you for being the last to enter the Winter Pool," Elder Sun said, flicking his sleeves, the white mist receded, and the water returned to its original state.

Wang Yue, who had been clenching his fists on the shore, was very nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.

Chu Jiang flew out of the pool, controlled his soul power to dry his clothes instantly, walked in front of Wang Yue, and touched Wang Yue's head.

"There must be a place for me to enter the Winter Pool next year!" Wang Yue said firmly to Chu Jiang.

The corners of Chu Jiang's mouth smiled, "Haha, if you don't work next year, you will have a chance the year after tomorrow, you are so young, it is enough for you to toss." ”

"Phew, it must be next year, and I can't go back to the year after that," Wang Yue pouted, "I don't want to lose too much to Chen Chuhe." ”

Chen Chuhe also walked up, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth raised rarely, and he was still silent.

"Were you smiling just now?"

"Nope. ”

"Really smiled, I saw it. ”

Tian Ya'er finally seized the opportunity to tease Chen Chuhe, and said jokingly.

The rest of the people returned to the foot of the cave and there were already snow sculptures waiting. Elder Sun pointed to the acupoints and said.

Wang Yue reluctantly waved his hand at the four of them, "Don't worry, I won't leave you too behind." ”

After the rest of the people left, Elder Sun swept the seven people in front of him with satisfaction, "You will be the mainstay of the Wind and Snow Sect in the future, and the rise and fall of the Wind and Snow Sect will all depend on you." ”

"I will live up to the elders," Aoyama replied, and the rest followed.

"Okay, then let's enter the Winter Pool," Elder Sun took a step and walked in the direction of the pool, stepping on the water of the pool, and the place where he touched instantly condensed into ice.

"Such exquisite control," Chu Jiang muttered, and even the size and thickness of the ice condensed at each step were exactly the same.

Following Elder Sun's footsteps, the seven of them walked through the pool and came to the other side, where there was also a hole in the corner.

"At the end of this cave is where the Winter Pool is located, I won't go in, I'll wait for you here," Elder Sun said slowly, "The time to enter the Winter Pool is one day, and it can end early, but don't stay longer, remember?"

"Remember!" the crowd responded.

"Well, okay," Elder Sun nodded, and finally reminded, "The Extreme Ice of the Winter Pool is strong, so it's best to come out and digest it in three hours, and then enter again." ”

With all the instructions done, it was time for them to enter the Winter Pool.

The further you went in, the more cold it became, and the walls of the cave were covered with a thick layer of ice.

Finally, in the slightly cramped cave, a spring with a radius of no more than five meters, the Winter Pool, which had been chattering, appeared in Chu Jiang's field of vision.

Although it was ordinary, no one dared to underestimate it, and it was only when the soul power was running at full speed that it could stop the cold it emitted.

As the elder brother, Qingshan was still the first to enter the Winter Pool, and although the cold immediately formed a layer of frost on the surface of his skin, he was still in good condition.

Several other people also entered it one after another and began to concentrate on cultivating.

"I don't know if it will be like Fang Cai," said Chu Jiang, who was submerged in the Winter Pool.

The surging Extreme Ice Meaning instantly invaded Chu Jiang's body, and then shrank much in the blink of an eye, this time Chu Jiang captured the reason.

There were very small ice crystals hidden in its flesh and blood, and if it weren't for the fact that it had absorbed the meaning of extreme ice, Chu Jiang would not have discovered its existence at all.

"How could such a thing appear in my body?" Chu Jiang said, "Could it be the Wind and Snow Sect Ancestor?"

At the time of his breakthrough, the ancestor of the Wind and Snow Sect said that he would give him a chance, but Chu Jiang did not receive anything after breaking through, and there was no unusual feeling when he broke through.

"It seems to be hidden here," the corners of Chu Jiang's mouth rose, no matter what the fate was, it was very useful to Chu Jiang now, because he was about to dive to the bottom of the winter pool.
