Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 611: Terrifying Woman

"What assessment?"

"You haven't even looked into this?"

The Great Hall Master was rather exasperated.

She treated Brother Cheng like her own son, but when the child was playful, she would strictly discipline him.

"In a month, it's the Combat Tower assessment."

"Everyone must pass the trial corresponding to their realm!"

The Divine Hall does indeed have different assessments from time to time.

If you don't pass, there are often punishments or even expulsion from the Divine Hall.

Given Brother Cheng's status as a Great Sage, it's unlikely to go that far.

But if he really doesn't pass, he would certainly lose a lot of face.

This time, the Great Hall Master was also being serious.

She glared fiercely at Jiang Cheng, "When the time comes, I will have someone raise your trial's difficulty to the Extreme Profound Realm Ninth Layer. If you can't pass, get ready to be laughed at by the entire Divine Hall!"

"Wow, that's a really high standard..."

Brother Cheng cheerfully patted his chest, pretending to be terribly scared.

Seeing him still joking around as if he didn't care about losing face, the Great Hall Master was so angry she wished she could teach him a lesson right there.

"You are so uninspired!"

"Starting tomorrow, I'll arrange for an expert personal guard by your side to supervise your cultivation!"

"What?"

Brother Cheng was a bit confused.

Miao Yu once wanted him to be a personal guard, and now it's his turn to be closely guarded?

"Is that a thing?"

"Of course!"

"I refuse!"

Buddy, my power reaches the sky, stronger than all of you combined, and I need a guard?

What a joke?

The Great Hall Master resolutely said, "You can't refuse. With the evil demon causing chaos, we've strengthened defenses both inside and outside the Divine Hall. It's also for your safety!"

Brother Cheng gritted his teeth and said sternly, "Then... the guard must be a woman, or I'd rather leave the Divine Hall!"

The Great Hall Master was stunned, "Why must it be a woman?"

"It's my boundary as a man!" Brother Cheng said with conviction.

The Great Hall Master looked at him with understanding and got even angrier.

What, you young lad not thinking about diligently cultivating, wanting to treat the Divine Hall as a haven?

"Fine!"

She smiled coldly, "This is your main demand!"

Then she turned to the Ice Spirit Hall Master.

"Bring Li Hanyu over tomorrow!"

Hearing this name, all the Hall Masters showed schadenfreude expressions.

The Ice Spirit Hall Master was already dissatisfied with Brother Cheng's 'laziness' anyway.

She nodded heavily, "No problem, I believe Hanyu will train him well!"

Seeing their expressions, Brother Cheng felt something was off.

He quickly added, "She must be beautiful, huh!"

The Ice Spirit Hall Master's lips curled, "Rest assured, she's stunning, definitely one of the top beauties in the Divine Hall!"

"Then I'm relieved."

Brother Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, as a Great Sage, without even a maid by his side, where's the grandeur?

After the Hall Masters left, he went back inside and continued refining the Profound Pattern.

Meanwhile, the stewards of the Wise Palace, who witnessed the whole scene, secretly started discussing.

"Whoa, Li Hanyu, that protector from the Ice Spirit Hall?"

"Who else but the Snow Rakshasa?"

"It's said her guards suffer terribly daily. If they slightly mess up a task, they're severely punished, from broken muscles and bones to lying down for several years."

"Exactly, her subordinates even wish she meets a mishap during tasks."

"I also heard a rumor, that year when she visited the Divine Hall of the Silver Profound Race, Frost Spirit Hall Master's son Shen Qing fancied her and pursued her wildly and even resorted to some means."

"Guess what happened afterward?"

Since it was asked like that, it surely wasn't a good result.

So someone boldly guessed, "What, did she even beat Shen Qing up?"

"Beat up? You're underestimating her."

"She castrated him, causing a massive scandal back in the Silver Profound Race, and it was the Great Hall Master who personally went to appease the situation!"

"Whoa whoa, that's too ruthless, isn't it?"

"Something like that happened?"

"Of course, why else would no one dare approach her, despite her heavenly beauty? No one gets any good from it!"

"Is she crazy? How come the Great Hall Master didn't demote her?"

"She's talented, you know. Before the Great Sage arrived, she was the number-one genius in our Divine Hall."

"Now Jiang Sage is in for it."

"Not really, Jiang Sage's status is much higher than hers."

"Not necessarily…"

"Even though Jiang Sage's status is high, his minor power in the Extreme Profound Realm is evident, you know."

"Everything has its nemesis! Against someone like Li Hanyu who doesn't follow the norm, he'll have nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, no escape."

"After being secretly disciplined a few times, once fear and submission are instilled, he might tremble at the mere sight of her."

"Ah, poor Great Sage…"

"Let's have a moment of silence for the Great Sage!"

Brother Cheng didn't hear their discussions.

The next morning, he met Li Hanyu.

The Water Spirit Hall Master didn't deceive him; this woman was indeed stunning.

Her skin was as white as jade, dressed in a white dress adorned with cloud patterns, and wore embroidered shoes on her feet. Dark black hair tied in a delicate cloud bun, and her exquisite face had no flaws.

Her eyes were like deep pools, without any coldness, only indifference, as if Jiang Cheng in front of her was a dead object.

She was taller than most men, with that expressionless face, giving a very oppressive feeling.

But Jiang Sect Leader was clearly not an ordinary person.

"A cold beauty indeed, not bad, not bad."

He seemed quite satisfied.

Imagine himself appearing across the Profound Realm, with such a remarkably beautiful and poised woman by his side, how cool would that be?

After appreciating her for a moment, he instructed, "Recently, I'm busy with cultivation, so you just wait outside for now."

There's nothing unseemly about the process of refining Secret Void Holy Sand, but he doesn't want anyone to know that he can cultivate a bunch of Profound Patterns for now.

"What can you cultivate?"

Before coming here, Li Hanyu already knew about his situation.

Her task this time was to make this 'lazy person' diligent.

Brother Cheng puckered his lips, "Is this something a maid should inquire about?"

"Okay, you can leave for now. I'll summon you when I have time in the future."

After saying that, he turned to enter the cultivation quiet chamber.

Whoosh!

A light sound came from the ground.

The black jade stone ground beneath Jiang Sect Leader's feet glisteningly froze over, encasing his feet in the spot.

Immediately, it rapidly spread upwards.

In just the blink of an eye, it froze him into an ice sculpture.

This wasn't ordinary ice; it was formed by the activation of Ice's Profound Pattern.

If the Profound Pattern's realm wasn't equal to Li Hanyu's, there was no way to break the ice layer and get free.
