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

Old Bai paused, then his tone suddenly turned stern:

"However, don't think you can rest easy now! The Northern Cang Spiritual Academy never supports useless people! The competition here is ten times, a hundred times, more brutal than what you experienced in the Northern Cang Realm!"

"Here, resources, status, and even dignity all require you to fight and strive for them yourself!"

He held up one finger and pointed to the vast, indistinct cluster of buildings in the distance:

"In one month, the Spirit Academy will hold its annual 'Freshman Assembly'!"

"That's your first official appearance at the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, and your best chance to prove your talent!"

"At the freshman orientation, you will compete against each other!"

The ultimate winner will be the first student to emerge from the new class.

Old Bai's voice suddenly rose, carrying a hint of seduction:

"This title not only represents honor, but also means that you will come under the watchful eye of the Spirit Academy's higher-ups and receive preferential resource support!"

These words immediately caused an uproar at the reception platform.

A fanatical light shone in the eyes of countless new students, their breathing quickened, and their fists clenched.

"The first freshman!"

"Generous resource rewards!"

"He was accepted as a personal disciple by the elder!"

These conditions are fatally attractive to any teenager who aspires to become stronger.

The eyes of Mu Ya and Hao Renjia gleamed with a beast-like light.

Bingqing's face remained icy, but a hint of interest flickered in her cold eyes.

However, among this enthusiastic crowd, one pair stood out as an oddity.

Bing Tianxiao yawned and turned his head to look at Luo Li beside him:

"The first freshman? That sounds impressive, but I wonder what the reward is."

Luo Li shook her head slightly, her cool eyes showing little emotion.

For her, all she needed was to be able to cultivate quietly by Bing Tianxiao's side.

She has never been interested in the empty title of being number one.

Old Bai took in everyone's reactions and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he said, "Alright, enough of the unnecessary pleasantries. Now, your respective instructors will lead you to the freshman dormitories!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of figures walked out from behind the reception platform.

These are all mentors from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy responsible for guiding and arranging new students.

Among them, a woman with a seductive figure, dressed in a tight-fitting dark red cheongsam, walked straight toward Bing Tianxiao and the others.

She walked gracefully, her figure slender, exuding a languid, adult charm in every gesture.

A faint smile graced her beautiful face, like a ripe, dewy fruit. .

"Little ones, I am your guide, Mu Ling."

Her beautiful red lips parted slightly, and her voice carried a hint of magnetic charm, "Stay close, everyone. I'll take you to the freshman dormitory area to familiarize yourselves with the place."

Bing Tianxiao's gaze swept over Mu Ling and the surrounding instructors, and he briefly released his senses to investigate.

"A uniform group of cultivators at the Heavenly Fusion Realm..."

He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "The instructors at the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy seem pretty average."

However, he didn't say much, after all, the person was just a mentor who was responsible for guiding the way, not the dean.

"Let's go see what our dorm looks like."

Bing Tianxiao shrugged, took Luo Li's hand very naturally, and followed the beautiful Mu Ling towards the accommodation area of ​​the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy.

The group followed Mu Ling and arrived at an extremely vast building area.

As soon as they stepped into this area, everyone felt as if every pore on their body opened up instantly.

A rich spiritual energy, far exceeding that of the outside world, rushed towards us.

"Such abundant spiritual energy!" Several exclamations came from the crowd.

Mu Ling, who was walking ahead, stopped and turned around.

Those captivating peach blossom eyes sparkled as she chuckled, "Can you feel it? This entire freshman dormitory area is situated within a massive 'Level 4 Spirit Gathering Array'."

Upon hearing the words "Level 4 Spirit Gathering Array," many freshmen showed expressions of shock.

A formation of this caliber, placed in their home, would be enough to make countless forces envious and fight tooth and nail to acquire.

However, Mu Ling's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of these hopeful freshmen.

"However, as Elder Bai just said, the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy does not support useless people. Everything here depends on your own efforts."

The accommodation conditions naturally vary in quality.

She stretched out her slender finger and pointed to the small house on the outermost edge of the basin:

"That's a Class C room."

Located on the edge of the spirit-gathering array, the concentration of spiritual energy is only average, quite different from that in the deeper areas.

But the advantage is—it's free.

This is the default accommodation assigned to all of you freshmen by the college.

Upon hearing "free" and "normal," many proud freshmen immediately frowned.

Mu Ling took in everyone's expressions, her red lips slightly parted, and her fingers moved to some rather exquisite-looking independent pavilions:

"Want a better cultivation environment? Sure."

That was a Class B room, close to the center of the spirit-gathering array, where the spiritual energy was relatively strong.

"Want a better cultivation environment? Sure."

That was a Class B room, close to the center of the spirit-gathering array, where the spiritual energy was relatively strong.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want to stay here, you'll have to pay extra. The rent is one thousand spirit points per month.

"One thousand spirit points?!"

A collective gasp erupted from the crowd.

They were newcomers and their spiritual points were already pitiful.

A thousand a month? That's robbery!

Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Mu Ling pointed her fair finger to the deepest part of the basin.

The area was shrouded in mist, and several extremely luxurious courtyards could be vaguely seen.

"As for that place, it's a Class A room."

Mu Ling's voice carried a hint of seduction, "Located at the very center of the Spirit Gathering Array, the spiritual energy there is naturally the most concentrated."

"Of course, the price is also very attractive."

Mu Ling smiled and held up two fingers, "Two thousand spirit points per month."

The entire room fell silent.

Two thousand spirit points a month!

For the vast majority of freshmen, this is an astronomical figure, something they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Although Mu Ya and Hao Renjia's eyes were burning with desire, they had to suppress their thoughts for the time being after checking the balance in their spirit value cards.

Just then, a voice carrying a hint of laziness and casualness suddenly rang out in the silence.

"Mentor, how many people can stay in this room?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Bing Tianxiao asking with a grin.

It was as if they didn't care about the high price at all.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Mu Ling's beautiful eyes.

She parted her red lips slightly and chuckled softly:

"The Class A courtyard is spacious; one room can comfortably accommodate two people."

"All done!"

Bing Tianxiao snapped his fingers, waved his hand grandly, and declared with boundless pride, "Mentor, give me one of those top-tier courtyards!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually pulled out his spirit value card and waved it in front of Mu Ling.

"Swipe your card, pay for one month now."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding freshmen gasped in shock, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Two thousand spirit points!

This guy didn't even flinch!

And, most importantly, he's actually going to share a room with that stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl?!

Countless male students' hearts shattered at that moment, their gazes towards Bing Tianxiao filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Mu Ling was also slightly taken aback.

They clearly didn't expect that there would be such a wealthy and powerful person among this year's freshmen.

She gave Bing Tianxiao a deep look, her smile deepening.

He took the spirit value token and deftly deducted two thousand spirit values.

Then, she handed Bing Tianxiao a magic array token that was neither gold nor jade, her voice becoming increasingly soft: "This is the key to your courtyard. I hope you... have a pleasant stay."

"Thank you, mentor."

Bing Tianxiao took the token and casually tossed it in the air.

Then he turned around and approached Luo Li with a grin.

He leaned down slightly, gazing at the girl's flawless, aloof face, blinked, and spoke with a clear hint of teasing:

"So, how do you feel about our wonderful life together ahead?"

Luo Li's originally calm eyes flickered slightly.

Upon hearing the words "cohabitation," a subtle blush instantly appeared on her fair, jade-like ears.

Although the two spent their days and nights together on the spiritual path, it was, after all, a trial by death.

Now, living under the same roof in this peaceful sanctuary, the feeling is ultimately somewhat different.

She turned her head slightly away, avoiding Bing Tianxiao's gaze, and did not respond to his comment.

She simply walked straight past him, heading towards the Class A accommodation area, her cool voice drifting gently in the breeze:

"boring."

Seeing the girl's slightly flustered back, Bing Tianxiao wasn't annoyed at all; instead, the corners of his mouth widened into a wider grin.

"hey-hey……"
