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

Chapter 39 The Spirit Beast's Essence! The Spirit of the Luo River!

Inside the outer hall, the atmosphere, which had been somewhat noisy due to the simultaneous battles in various battle spaces, was now surprisingly quiet.

Almost everyone's attention was drawn to the largest main image in the center of the light screen.

"What terrifying control over ice-attribute spiritual power!"

"Is this really a magic spell that a freshman can cast?"

"Senior Sister Anran is in trouble now. This kid's spiritual power is simply unfathomable!"

The senior students looked solemn, while the freshmen were full of enthusiasm.

Just then, the teleportation array in the center of the hall flickered slightly, and a graceful, ethereal white figure appeared out of thin air.

It was Luo Li.

Her breathing remained steady as before, as if she had just gone for a walk.

Clearly, her battle had ended swiftly and decisively.

Ignoring the awe and amazement in the eyes of those around her, Luo Li walked straight to a place with a wide view.

She slightly raised her exquisite face, her clear, glass-like eyes gazing quietly at the spirited young man standing in mid-air behind the main light screen.

Inside the battle space.

Faced with the "Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill" that tore through the air and seemed to freeze and shatter everything.

An Ran's pretty face also became completely serious.

She could sense that if she went all out with this attack, she would likely suffer a great loss.

"As expected! Since you're serious, I can't hold back any longer!"

An Ran took a deep breath and suddenly formed an extremely complex hand seal with her hands.

Roar!

As the hand seals were formed, a violent and icy aura of ferocity suddenly erupted from An Ran's body.

Immediately afterwards, a massive, majestic eagle phantom covered in golden spirit patterns rapidly materialized behind her.

The giant eagle spread its wings, which were dozens of feet long. With each flap, it brought up a storm of ice and snow. Its oppressive power was even stronger than Bing Tianxiao's Xuanbing Dragon Tornado.

"Ranked sixty-fifth on the Beast Records Earth Ranking, the Northern Darkness Golden-Striped Eagle!"

A chorus of exclamations erupted from the main hall outside.

"Senior An Ran actually used even the essence of a spirit beast! That's one of her trump cards!"

"Bing Tianxiao is in danger now. The Northern Darkness Golden-Striped Eagle is also a top-tier ice-attribute spirit beast, possessing extremely strong resistance to ice-attribute spirit techniques, and its power is terrifying!"

Inside the battle space.

Standing calmly beneath the phantom of the giant eagle, his aura reached its peak.

With a wave of her jade hand, the Northern Darkness Golden-Patterned Eagle let out a long cry that pierced through gold and shattered stone. Its wings suddenly flapped, transforming into a huge storm of ice blades with gold and blue stripes, which crashed fiercely into Bing Tianxiao's Xuanbing Dragon Tornado!

Rumble!

Two storms, each containing extreme cold and destructive power, collided violently in mid-air, causing the entire battle space to tremble violently.

The violent spiritual energy shockwave swept outwards like a tsunami, completely leveling the rocky ruins below.

Bing Tianxiao looked down at the scene, watching the Xuanbing tornado gradually collapse under the impact of the Beiming Golden-Patterned Eagle, but instead of being surprised, he smiled.

"A spirit beast essence ranked sixty-fifth on the Ten Thousand Beasts Record Earth Ranking? That's quite something."

He shook his head slightly, a hint of helpless mockery in his tone: "What a pity, I haven't even fused with a decent spirit beast essence yet, otherwise I would have shown it off."

.

"But I have this!"

hum!

Bing Tianxiao made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a longbow, its surface gleaming and radiating a chilling aura, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

It is "Ice Crystal Annihilation"!

He simply drew back the bowstring slowly.

No arrow was drawn.

But as the bowstring was drawn, the ice-attribute spiritual energy in the entire battle space frantically converged towards the bowstring.

A dark blue arrow, its surface swirling with extremely complex and mysterious ice patterns, quickly took shape.

This arrow was executed without any fancy techniques.

Only extreme compression and pure, extreme destruction!

"Senior, catch this arrow!"

Bing Tianxiao's eyes narrowed, and his fingers suddenly loosened.

collapse!

A resounding twang of a bowstring, seemingly capable of tearing apart the soul, rang out.

The azure arrow transformed into an aurora borealis too dazzling for the naked eye to follow, piercing through the massive phantom of the Northern Darkness Golden-Patterned Eagle with unstoppable force, and then—

It hovered less than an inch in front of An Ran!

The extreme cold emanating from the arrow instantly froze the few strands of hair on An Ran's forehead into ice.

The entire room fell silent.

The hovering, dark blue arrow did not continue forward.

However, the terrifying destructive energy contained within it made An Ran's hair stand on end.

She could clearly sense that if this arrow were to be shot, even with the protection of the Northern Darkness Golden-Patterned Eagle, she would absolutely not be able to stop it!

"Gurgle."

Inside the main hall outside.

Someone swallowed hard, the sound particularly clear in the deathly silence.

Inside the battle space, An Ran looked at the handsome face with a smile in front of her.

He took a deep breath and completely suppressed the surging spiritual energy within his body.

As she moved, the phantom of the Northern Dark Golden-Patterned Eagle let out a mournful cry and vanished into specks of light between heaven and earth.

"I lost."

An Ran gave a bitter smile.

She knew that the other party had not only shown mercy.

Moreover, from beginning to end, they didn't even use the spirit beast's essence.

This level of strength is simply unreasonable.

"hey-hey."

Upon seeing this, Bing Tianxiao snapped his fingers in a very easygoing manner.

The spiritual energy arrow hovering in front of An Ran instantly transformed into wisps of icy blue energy and vanished without a trace.

He sheathed his longbow, his signature smile returning to his face, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards An Ran: "You flatter me, senior, you are also very strong."

An Ran rolled her eyes at him.

This kid won so easily, but he insisted on pretending that he had put in a lot of effort, which was both infuriating and frustrating.

But she wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat; after nodding slightly, she said no more.

With An Ran's surrender, the judgment array in the battle space was triggered.

A soft light descended from the sky, enveloping the two figures.

The next second, a flash of light appeared, and Bing Tianxiao and An Ran simultaneously appeared in the center of the main hall outside.

boom!

The moment the two appeared, the once deathly silent hall erupted into a deafening clamor, like a powder keg that had been ignited.

"We won! We actually won!"

"An arrow pierced through the Northern Dark Golden-Striped Eagle's defenses! Truly worthy of being a Spirit Crown!!"

"My God, even Senior An Ran lost! This year's freshmen are defying the heavens!"

The senior students looked at each other, their faces full of bitterness.

Originally intended to intimidate the new students, the students ended up gaining more authority instead.

The freshmen, on the other hand, were filled with fervent admiration as they looked at Bing Tianxiao.

Ignoring the frenzied stares and noise around him, Bing Tianxiao walked through the crowd and quickly reached Luo Li's side.

"How was it? Didn't have to wait too long?"

He habitually gave Luo Li a bright smile.

Luo Li gently shook her head, her clear eyes scanning him up and down.

She had clearly seen the battle just now. Bing Tianxiao had completely overwhelmed An Ran by relying solely on his spiritual power and the ice bow, without any fluctuation of spirit beast aura on his body.

"You—you still haven't refined the spirit beast's essence?"

Since one cannot use spiritual power within the spiritual path, naturally nothing can be discerned.

But now that we've entered the vast world, refining the essence of spirit beasts is common knowledge for almost all cultivators after reaching the Divine Soul Realm.

Not only can it greatly enhance one's strength, but it can also grant one the innate abilities of a spirit beast.

"I just haven't met the right person."

Bing Tianxiao shrugged nonchalantly and said with a sneer, "I wouldn't even look at those ordinary types."

Better to have nothing than something bad. We'll wait until we find someone who truly suits our taste.

As he said this, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he moved a few steps closer to Luo Li.

Staring at the girl's stunning profile, he chuckled and asked, "And you? What kind of spirit beast did you refine—"

Luo Li was slightly startled by his sudden closeness and breath.

That faint, slightly icy, and refreshing masculine scent lingered around my nose.

She instinctively took a small step back to avoid his burning breath.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Spirit of the Luo River."

"
