The Great Ruler: The Ice Emperor Descends, Freezing the World!

Chapter 31 I asked you to come, and you actually came?

As the voice of the aged figure faded, a commotion erupted on the massive reception platform.

"Is it only possible to stay if you reach level four?"

Countless young men and women, their eyes burning with desire, flocked to the enormous white jade stele in the center of the platform.

Most people are in the first-level regular slots; the third-level seed slots haven't appeared yet.

Bing Tianxiao huddled behind the crowd, her hands tucked into her sleeves, looking terrified.

In his mind, however, he was rapidly calculating: "Tens of thousands of people, four Northern Cang Realms, I hope Luo Li is also in this Northern Cang Realm."

But—stealing the mark's spiritual energy? Isn't that just encouraging everyone to become bandits? I like it.

He followed the flow of people and crept to the front of the stone tablet.

"Look! That's a level three mark! It's a seeded spot!"

A gasp rippled through the crowd ahead. A burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist was seen pressing his hand against a stone tablet, a bright "three" appearing on his forehead, looking down at his surroundings with an arrogant expression.

It was Bing Tianxiao's turn.

With a conflicted expression, he reached out and gently touched the cold stone tablet with his fingertips.

hum!

The stone tablet trembled violently, and a dazzling golden light shot into the sky without warning.

The light was so intense that it instantly overshadowed all the level one and level three marks around it.

The golden light contracted, and a large and condensed golden "five" was firmly engraved in the center of Bing Tianxiao's forehead.

Level 5! Core quota!

The once noisy reception area fell silent instantly.

"Level 5? That's—a core spot?"

"Who is this guy? He looks like a pretty boy, yet he has a Level 5 mark?"

"Could he be one of those kings who ascended to the throne along the Spirit Path?"

—

Countless greedy or envious gazes pierced Bing Tianxiao.

Bing Tianxiao felt a slight heat on his forehead and retreated in terror: "This stone tablet is broken, isn't it? It must be broken! How could someone like me be a level five? Everyone, calm down, something must be wrong, don't take it seriously, please don't take it seriously!"

As he spoke, he tried to slip away to the edge of the platform.

"stop!"

A sharp shout rang out; it came from Zhao Dahu, who had just been marked with a level three mark.

He took a step to the side, blocking Bing Tianxiao's path with a few followers, his eyes filled with greed: "Kid, I don't care what your situation is, since you've taken the Level 5 mark, then leave some interest!"

"Hand over half of the mark's spiritual energy obediently, and I'll guarantee your safety in the Northern Cang Realm!"

People gathered around, clearly wanting to see the "fat sheep" get slaughtered.

Many smart people also made the decision to leave immediately.

This is a level five mark.

It's impossible for an ordinary person to obtain this!

Someone with only a level three skill level 3 skill level 3 skill level 3 skill level 3 skill level 3 skill level 4 skill level 3 skill level 4 skill level 5 skill level 6 skill level 3 skill level 4 skill level 5 skill level 6 skill level 6 skill level 7 skill level 8 skill level 6 skill level 7 skill level 8 skill level 9 ...8 skill level 9 skill level 6 skill level 8 skill

"Um—you mean Brother Zhao Dahu?"

Bing Tianxiao leaned closer with a fawning expression, her voice trembling, "I'm a very timid person, I don't know how to give it to you, you take it—"

"Enough with the nonsense! Come here!"

Zhao Dahu grinned maliciously, and his large, fan-like hand, imbued with powerful spiritual energy, grabbed directly at Bing Tianxiao's shoulder.

In his view, this terrified kid was completely powerless to fight back.

However, just as that large hand was about to touch Bing Tianxiao...

A mocking glint flashed in Bing Tianxiao's eyes, as if he were looking at a fool.

"I was just being polite, and you actually dared to take advantage of me?"

Bing Tianxiao's voice rang out clearly.

The next instant, his right hand, which had been hanging in his sleeve, shot out without warning and slapped him hard across the face.

Snapped!

A crisp, pleasant slap that echoed throughout the reception area suddenly rang out.

Zhao Dahu didn't even have time to let out a scream.

The man, weighing over 200 pounds, was sent flying by the slap, crashing heavily into a stone pillar, where he couldn't be pried off.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Those students who were originally preparing to watch the "fat sheep" get slaughtered.

At this moment, everyone's jaws dropped to the floor, and their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"What just happened?"

"Zhao Dahu—that's the strength of the Divine Soul Realm! And he was just slapped away like that?"

"That kid—did he just use spiritual power?"

Bing Tianxiao shook his right hand in disgust, looked at Zhao Dahu whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and sighed helplessly: "Sigh, you really are a fool. A mere Divine Soul Realm cultivator, and you dare to try to rob people on the road?"

Do you have some misunderstanding about Level 5 markings, or are you just too confident in yourself?

After speaking, Bing Tianxiao looked up and scanned his surroundings.

Those who originally had greedy eyes changed when they met Bing Tianxiao's ambiguous smile.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines and took a large step back in unison.

They were terrified that this "god of death" would also strike them like that.

"This is boring; there's not a single one who can fight."

Bing Tianxiao pursed his lips, and the golden level-five mark on his forehead glowed slightly.

The mark on Zhao Dahu's forehead, who had fainted, returned to level one.

hum!

After absorbing the spiritual energy of the Level 3 mark, the color of the "five" on Bing Tianxiao's forehead became a little brighter.

Bing Tianxiao shook his hand and slowly glanced at the students who hadn't had time to run.

He said with a smile, "Friends, I'm new here and a little short on cash."

Look, this Brother Zhao is very well-mannered; he voluntarily lent me some spiritual energy. I'm a very reasonable person; I believe in equality for all.

He paused, his smile growing even brighter: "So, those of you who haven't left yet, could you lend me some of your mark's spiritual energy?"

Not much is needed, half for each person is fine.

I hate trouble the most, so please take the initiative. Let's make money peacefully, don't force me to do anything.

As he spoke, Bing Tianxiao flexed his wrist, making a slight cracking sound.

At this moment, silence speaks louder than words!

Several trainees with weaker mental fortitude had already broken out in a cold sweat.

They looked at the seemingly harmless "pretty boy" in front of them.

He then looked at Zhao Dahu, who was lying half-dead on the ground.

How could they possibly have the slightest thought of resistance?

Those with ability and brains have already left; those remaining are either scoundrels or idiots.

"I—I'll give it!"

A tall, thin young man was the first to break down, his face contorted in despair.

He deliberately shattered a portion of the spiritual energy from the mark on his forehead, transforming it into a stream of light that flew towards Bing Tianxiao.

Once there's a first, there's a second, a third—

In an instant, the reception platform was filled with dazzling light, and streams of spiritual energy, some thick and some thin, flowed towards the fifth-level mark on Bing Tianxiao's forehead like rivers flowing into the sea.

Bing Tianxiao felt satisfied as the power within the mark continued to fill.

The edges of the golden "five" even began to show a barely perceptible faint purple pattern.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, you're all smart people."

He clapped his hands, as if he had just finished a trivial task: "Alright, the spiritual energy has been collected, so our friendship is now established."

From now on, we're all one family here in the Northern Cang Realm.

If you encounter any trouble, you can mention my name, Bing Tianxiao—of course, I can't guarantee it will work.

After saying that, he ignored the group of money-giving boys and his figure blurred.

With a few flashes, it completely disappeared into the depths of the forest.

"Bing Tianxiao—I'll remember that name. I'll definitely avoid him from now on!"

"That's ruthless! He robbed dozens of us all by himself!"

"Let's go quickly, lest an even more ruthless one appears!"
