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

Chapter 38 The Name of the Spirit Crown, Xuanbing Whirlwind Kill!

"Bing Tianxiao————"

An Ran carefully pondered the name, and a strange light suddenly flashed in her originally cold eyes.

"So it was you."

"Throughout the Spiritual Path, the one who overpowered all others and ultimately ascended to the summit to seize the flag—the Spiritual Crown of the Spiritual Path!"

boom!

These words immediately caused a huge uproar.

The freshmen, however, had already been surprised.

But the senior students' expressions changed instantly, and gasps of shock rose and fell.

"He's the one with the Spirit Crown?!"

"My God, they say this year's Spirit Road has produced several monsters, and this guy is actually number one among them!"

"No wonder she dared to bypass the draw and challenge Senior An Ran directly; this girl is a real ruthless character!"

The older students looked at Bing Tianxiao with deep apprehension.

An Ran gazed at Bing Tianxiao, her restrained spiritual energy beginning to flow slowly, like a volcano about to awaken.

"No wonder you have the confidence to challenge me directly."

Her gaze was fixed on Bing Tianxiao, her tone filled with admiration: "I'm afraid you're not only the bravest among this group, but also the undisputed strongest among this year's freshmen!"

'

"It is my honor to have been challenged by someone as powerful as the Spirit Crown."

Despite An Ran's high praise, Bing Tianxiao remained unmoved.

"You flatter me, senior. Being the strongest is just a title; I'm a very pragmatic person."

He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, his eyes clear and straightforward: "I mainly wanted those five thousand spirit points."

"Senior, let's stop wasting time and get straight to the point. Are you going to take this round or not?"

"You're quite direct."

Upon hearing this, An Ran was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but chuckle.

"I'll take this round!"

"Great! Senior, you're so straightforward!"

Bing Tianxiao snapped his fingers, his smile widening.

An Ran turned to look at the still somewhat dazed freshmen and upperclassmen around her and waved.

She regained her authority as the senior student in charge: "As for the rest of you, the rules remain the same. Seniors, prepare yourselves; freshmen, come forward and draw lots to decide your respective gatekeepers!"

Upon hearing An Ran speak, everyone seemed to snap out of their daze.

Although everyone's attention had been drawn to the "Ace vs. Ace" showdown between Bing Tianxiao and An Ran, the rules of the Spirit Academy were, after all, the rules.

The new students, facing the challenge, swallowed hard, suppressing their excitement and awe.

They walked one by one into the pillar of spiritual energy in front of them and drew their opponents.

The older students, too, had put away their previous disdain and laxity.

After all, even the "big brother" of this year's freshmen dared to directly challenge Senior Anran, who was a student of a higher level.

Who knows what kind of formidable monsters are lurking among the remaining freshmen?

In an instant, the light of the divination sticks flashed throughout the entire hall.

Before long, all the dozen or so freshmen who dared to challenge the seniors had drawn lots and each locked in their opponents.

The atmosphere inside the hall was suppressed.

But everyone's eyes were glancing at Bing Tianxiao and An Ran, their eyes filled with barely suppressed anticipation.

Seeing that everyone was ready, An Ran suppressed her smile and resumed her cool and composed demeanor.

She turned her head to look at the gray-robed old man beside her and said respectfully, "Elder Bai, all the opponents have been chosen. We can begin."

The old man, known as Elder Bai, nodded slightly.

"In that case, let's enter the battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Bai slowly raised his withered hand and casually waved it in the air.

hum!

Suddenly, the floor of the entire hall lit up with intricate and profound spiritual energy array patterns, and a strong spatial fluctuation rippled outwards.

Immediately afterwards, beams of dazzling silver light shot into the sky, enveloping Bing Tianxiao, An Ran, and more than a dozen other pairs of new and returning students who were preparing to fight.

The light flashed for only a moment.

When the silver light dissipated, the twenty or thirty figures had vanished into thin air above the hall and were teleported into a separate battle space specifically for duels.

Before the people remaining in the hall could even gasp in surprise, Elder Bai flicked his finger again.

Vast spiritual energy rapidly gathered in mid-air, and a massive spiritual energy light screen, tens of feet in size, slowly unfolded above everyone's heads like a scroll.

The light screen quickly divided into more than a dozen areas, clearly reflecting the scenes in each battle space.

The most eye-catching element, of course, is the main image at the very center of the light screen.

The scene depicts a vast and desolate rocky ruin.

Bing Tianxiao and An Ran stood at opposite ends of the ruins, facing each other from afar.

At that moment, the vast hall fell silent.

Let's see who comes out on top!

Inside the battle space.

Bing Tianxiao crossed his arms behind his head, looking casually at An Ran, who was standing ready for battle.

"Senior, as the saying goes, ladies first, please go first."

He turned slightly to the side, made a "please" gesture, and his tone was full of absolute confidence.

Upon hearing this, An Ran raised her eyebrows slightly.

As a senior student of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy and possessing the strength of the Fusion Realm, when had she ever been looked down upon like this?

-

But she also knew that this seemingly carefree boy was the most terrifying monster in this year's Spirit Road.

"Since you're so presumptuous, then I won't hold back!"

An Ran snorted coldly, without the slightest affectation.

"Spirit-Slaying Spear!"

A cold, delicate shout came from An Ran's red lips. With a flick of her slender arms, the spiritual spear burst forth with light.

Despite the overwhelmingly powerful attack, Bing Tianxiao still wore that nonchalant smile.

"Senior, don't get so angry, calm down."

Bing Tianxiao chuckled softly and slowly raised his right hand.

hum!

An extreme chill suddenly erupted from his body.

The azure spiritual energy surged forth like a burst dam.

"Mystic Ice Palm!"

With a low shout, an icy jade palm print met the raging spiritual energy spear head-on without any hesitation.

boom!

Under the astonished gazes of countless people in front of the light screen, the dark blue ice palm shattered the spear with an astonishing speed that was astounding!

The icy palm print disappeared in its tracks, heading straight for An Ran's head!

An Ran gazed at the incredibly powerful icy palm print, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy emanated from her jade-like hand.

He struck out with his palm, and spiritual energy surged forth.

"Shattering Void Palm!"

As An Ran struck out with her palm, a palm of light formed from powerful spiritual energy appeared.

Bang!

The two collided, and an astonishing shockwave of spiritual energy immediately spread outwards.

Bing Tianxiao looked at the pairs of annihilated palm prints, and his smile widened even more.

"Hey, not bad, senior. You actually managed to take that hit."

"It seems that Senior's strength at the Fusion Realm is genuine. In that case, I'll take it a little more seriously."

Before he finished speaking, Bing Tianxiao's nonchalant expression vanished instantly.

The surrounding temperature plummeted at an alarming rate, and a thick layer of white frost visibly condensed on the once barren rock ruins.

"Senior, try this trick!"

With a low shout, Bing Tianxiao suddenly rose from the ground and hovered in mid-air.

He rapidly formed hand seals, his afterimages flashing, and a chilling storm of ice began to gather wildly around him.

"Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!"

As he paused in his hand seals, the icy storm instantly transformed into a massive, dark blue tornado, tens of meters long!

This tornado was not simply a gale, but was formed by the high-speed rotation of countless tiny, sharp, blade-like fragments of ice.

Each piece of ice contained extreme cold and cutting power. Wherever it passed, even the air was torn apart with a piercing shriek, and a layer of rocky ground below was scraped away.

"go!"

Bing Tianxiao pointed a finger into the air.

The enormous icy tornado, like a roaring frost dragon, swept towards An Ran below.
