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

"cough……"

Just as Bing Tianxiao was making his bold and ambitious statement, Old Bai in mid-air coughed lightly.

An aged voice echoed across the wide platform:

"Hehe, it's good to have ambition. However, the competition at the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy is extremely fierce. I hope you can maintain this confidence in the future."

Old Bai stroked his beard, his gaze sweeping over the still somewhat empty area on the platform, and then he said:

"Now that you've arrived, you should also summon the other three little fellows from the Northern Cang Realm."

After saying that, Old Bai smiled slightly and raised his withered hand.

He swung his wide sleeves sharply in the other three directions of the platform.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanied by three deep rumbling sounds, the air on the huge receiving platform suddenly distorted violently in three other directions.

Immediately afterwards, three dazzling beams of light, like towering pillars, descended from the sky and crashed heavily onto the white jade-like stone slab.

The light faded away like a receding tide, and three massive waves of people appeared out of thin air on the huge platform.

The once somewhat empty reception area instantly became crowded and noisy.

"This is... the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy?!"

"We passed the test! We're finally in!"

"What an terrifying concentration of spiritual energy! And that mountain..."

A cacophony of noise and exclamations erupted, instantly engulfing the entire platform.

Bing Tianxiao, holding Luo Li's hand, stood in a relatively open corner of the crowd, observing the group of "new classmates" with great interest.

With his current level of perception, he can easily discern the true nature of these newcomers.

"The quality is just so-so. Most of them are at the Divine Soul Realm, and even those at the Heaven Fusion Realm are pitifully few..."

He was idly mentally rating these "monsters".

Suddenly, his eyes flickered slightly, his gaze passing over the crowd of people and landing on the first group of people who had been teleported over.

There stood a girl dressed in a light blue dress.

The girl had a beautiful face and a tall figure. She was surrounded by a cold aura that kept strangers at bay, like a plum blossom braving the snow, standing out from the noisy crowd around her.

"Early stage of the Heaven Fusion Realm? That's quite outstanding among these new students."

Bing Tianxiao muttered to himself.

However, what attracted his attention was not the other party's cultivation level, but the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the girl's body.

He was all too familiar with that spiritual energy aura that carried an extreme chill and contained some unique bloodline imprint.

Following Bing Tianxiao's gaze, An Ran softly introduced, "What, you noticed her?"

That girl's name is Bing Qing, another top newcomer in the Northern Cang Realm. She is a member of the Ice Spirit Clan, born with the powerful ability to control ice attributes, making her virtually unmatched among her peers.

At this point, An Ran's beautiful eyes flickered, her gaze landing on Bing Tianxiao:

"Speaking of which, you must also be from the Ice Spirit Clan, right, Bing Tianxiao?"

Bing Tianxiao raised an eyebrow, not answering An Ran directly, but instead sensing it carefully in his mind.

"However, judging from the purity of this bloodline, he should not be a core direct descendant, but probably a descendant of a branch of the Ice Spirit Clan."

What was her name again... Oh, I remember now, wasn't she a minor character named Bingqing in the original work?

Just as Bing Tianxiao was brazenly scrutinizing the other person, the girl named Bing Qing also keenly sensed something.

As a powerful expert in the Fusion Realm, her perception was equally strong.

She slightly furrowed her beautiful brows and turned her head to look in the direction of that undisguised gaze.

When her gaze passed through the crowd and landed on the handsome young man who was holding the hand of a stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl and was giving her a half-smile, she was stunned.

A hint of surprise flashed in her originally cool eyes.

Is there another member of the same clan here?

……

Bing Tianxiao turned his head and met Luo Li's clear eyes, which held a hint of curiosity.

He chuckled and confessed, "Senior Anran guessed correctly, I do indeed qualify as a member of the Ice Spirit Clan."

At this point, he changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat teasing: "However, I'm not the main branch of the Ice Spirit Clan who was single-handedly defeated by Senior Martial Ancestor when he became the Heavenly Supreme."

I'm at best a branch that's gone in who-knows-where.

"Look, that girl is probably similar to me, from a remote collateral branch. If she were truly a precious darling of the main lineage, she wouldn't need to come all the way to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy."

Upon hearing this, Luo Li nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

She didn't know much about the main lineage branches or the past of the Martial Ancestor.

But the basic logic still applies...

An Ran watched the two whispering in each other's ears, feeling a million thoughts racing through her mind...

As the two were talking, the commotion on the other two reception platforms gradually subsided.

Accompanied by low, awe-inspiring gasps.

The dense crowds on both sides parted to the sides like stars surrounding the moon, each making way for two figures whose auras were clearly superior to those around them.

Clearly, these two are the other two strongest individuals who have emerged from the Northern Cang Realm.

The person who stepped out from the reception platform on the left was a young man dressed in a dark green outfit.

"That's Mu Ya! He's also a top figure on the Spiritual Path, though not as good as Bing Tianxiao or Luo Li!"

A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd, revealing the man's identity.

When Bing Tianxiao's gaze fell on the leader on the reception platform to the right, the corner of his mouth twitched violently involuntarily.

He was a young man with an extremely... "safe" appearance.

His facial features were unremarkable; he was the kind of person who could be thrown into a crowd and instantly disappear without leaving a trace.

He was dressed in an extremely flamboyant white robe with gold trim, and was waving a jade-ribbed folding fan in his hand, which was meant to appear cultured.

He was nodding to those around him in what he thought was a very cool pose.

The most amazing thing was that as he appeared, his name was clearly heard amidst the awe-inspiring whispers of the surrounding students.

"Look, it's Brother Hao Renjia!"

Bing Tianxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hao Renjia? Goodness, what a perfunctory name!"

Bing Tianxiao mentally complained, "It's like they've etched the words 'I'm just a nobody' right on their foreheads!"

In a game, this would definitely be a high-level minion with no lines, specifically designed to give away experience points!

Although Bing Tianxiao's laughter was not loud, it seemed particularly abrupt on the relatively quiet reception platform at this moment.

Hao Renjia, who was waving a folding fan and enjoying everyone's attention, froze and looked over at the sound.

But after sensing the aura emanating from Bing Tianxiao, he swallowed his dissatisfaction.

Just then, Old Man Bai coughed lightly in mid-air again, drawing everyone's attention.

He slowly opened his mouth, his aged voice booming like a bell in everyone's ears:

"Welcome to the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, little ones."

"Being able to stand here means that you have all passed the test of the Northern Cang Realm, proving that you are qualified to become students of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy."
