Han Li was ordered to escort outer disciples to the Flame Valley Trial — a brutal test involving lava pools and fire spirits.
He simply held an umbrella and led the group like a guide.
Disciples sweated, burned, and screamed as fire snakes chased them. Some passed out.
Then the volcano spirit emerged — a giant flaming bull that hadn't appeared in centuries.
Everyone fled.
Except Han Li.
The bull snorted. "Leave, mortal."
Han Li nodded. "After I clean the ash."
The bull charged.
Han Li lifted his broom, tapped it lightly on a rock—
BOOM.
The volcano trembled. The bull froze mid-step and… bowed.
"Forgive me, Lord Sweeper!"
The disciples watched, stunned, as a Primordial Spirit Beast begged the janitor for mercy.
