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

Bing Tianxiao casually twirled the halberd in a dazzling flourish and then put the ice-blue halberd back into his mustard seed bracelet.

"Let's stop practicing here for today. We can practice more every day from now on to build up our teamwork."

Luo Li rolled her eyes at him, sheathed the Luo Shen Sword, and ignored his twisted logic with his own agenda.

However, he did not refuse Bing Tianxiao's invitation to spar.

"Stop making a fuss."

Bing Tianxiao's expression became slightly more serious. "I want to see this divine technique."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and a scroll of ice-blue jade slip appeared in his palm.

This is precisely his trump card, a divine technique called "Mysterious Ice Dragon Soaring".

Bing Tianxiao probed a trace of his soul into the jade slip and carefully read the opening information.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and muttered aloud:

"To cultivate this technique, one must replenish spiritual energy with extremely cold air or ice-type rare and precious materials."

"Drawing in the cold air, it condenses into ice and transforms into the shape of a dragon..."

After reading the cultivation requirements, Bing Tianxiao grinned.

"The requirements are quite high; no wonder its power is so formidable. But..."

Bing Tianxiao's smile suddenly froze.

"I don't seem to have any decent ice-attribute rare and precious materials on me."

He slapped his thigh in frustration and sighed, "What a blunder! I forgot to rummage through the treasure vault when I left home."

"Now that's a problem. Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; I have the divine technique but can't practice it."

A hint of a smile flashed in Luo Li's eyes as she softly asked, "So what do we do now?"

"It's alright, I have a brilliant plan!"

Bing Tianxiao had a sudden inspiration and pulled out a crystal-clear spirit value token.

"Now that we're students of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, if we have any difficulties, we should go to the academy!"

This Spirit Value Hall is said to contain everything; it should have what I need.

As he spoke, he infused a wisp of spiritual energy into the spirit value card.

A faint light suddenly appeared on the surface of the jade pendant, and a semi-transparent light screen was projected in front of him.

The top of the document is filled with information on the exchange of various rare and precious materials, spiritual techniques, and magical artifacts in the Spirit Value Hall.

Bing Tianxiao skillfully filtered through keywords such as "ice attribute", "body tempering", and "dragon blood" on the light screen.

His eyes quickly scanned the messages one by one.

A moment later, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly snapped his fingers:

"Found it!"

He pointed to several lines of information on the screen:

"Ice Breath Grass contains extremely pure, frigid energy, making it perfect as a medium to draw cold energy into the body. And this Mystic Spirit Crystal Marrow is used for solidification!"

"This is the most crucial point!"

Bing Tianxiao's finger tapped heavily on the last line of the light screen: "Dragon Blood Spirit Beast Essence!"

Luo Li's cool gaze swept over the price summary at the bottom of the light screen.

A hint of helplessness flashed in those clear, glass-like eyes:

"Ice Breath Grass costs 8,000, Profound Spirit Crystal Marrow costs 15,000, and even the cheapest Dragon Blood Spirit Beast Essence costs 30,000..."

At least 53,000 spirit points are needed in total.

She paused slightly, her tone remaining calm but hitting the nail on the head: "Our combined freshman rewards only amount to 15,000 spirit points. That's far from enough to buy these."

Bing Tianxiao's excitement froze instantly, and he coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

But he immediately had an idea:

"Oh! I thought it was something serious!"

Luo Li looked at him quietly without saying a word, but her eyes clearly said: What kind of trouble are you going to cause this time?

"Watch me!"

Bing Tianxiao chuckled, picked up the Spirit Value Token in his hand, and was reading: Chapter 44 Xuanbing Dragon Soars! Breaking Through the Heavenly Ranking!, the latest chapter is available here. Spiritual energy surged at his fingertips, rapidly slid across the light screen.

The interface shifted, and a huge ranking list, shimmering with dazzling golden light and exuding endless pressure, suddenly appeared in mid-air!

Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, Heavenly Ranking!

"For freshmen who want to quickly earn their first pot of gold, the simplest and most direct way is to climb the leaderboard and get rewards!"

Bing Tianxiao's lips curled into a wild smile.

"Since we're new here, let's keep a low profile and set a small goal first."

His finger paused, stopping at a rather auspicious number.

"Ranked 888th on the Heavenly Ranking, Zhao Wuji. That's him!"

Looking at his eager expression, Luo Li's cool eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.

Is this what you call being low-key?

Newly enrolled students directly challenge the senior students on the Heavenly Ranking.

If this gets out, the entire Northern Cang Spiritual Academy will probably be in an uproar.

"Are you sure?" Luo Li asked calmly.

She knew that Bing Tianxiao was now in the late stage of the Fusion Realm, and with his spiritual power, he was capable of suppressing the top thousand people.

"Of course I'm sure!"

Bing Tianxiao casually tossed the spirit value card up and caught it again, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"This ranking list is practically a cash cow tailor-made for me!"

After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense, took a deep breath, and his ice spirit veins began to circulate.

Om-!

An extremely terrifying, frigid spiritual power, like a sleeping ice dragon awakening, erupted instantly from his body!

The surrounding temperature plummeted, and visible ice crystals condensed in the air. Even Luo Li had to circulate her spiritual power to resist the biting cold.

boom!

The spiritual energy collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening thud.

However, this resistance lasted for less than three seconds.

Click!

With a crisp cracking sound, the golden characters shattered and dissipated into countless specks of light in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Ranking screen flickered violently, revealing the spot that originally belonged to Zhao Wuji.

It was abruptly replaced by three large, elegant, dark blue characters:

Ice and Snow Dawn!

At the same time, the entire Northern Cang Spiritual Academy's Spiritual Value Hall, various training grounds, and even the new and old student areas.

All the light screens connected to the Heavenly Ranking emitted a piercing buzzing sound at the same time.

Countless gazes stared in astonishment at the suddenly changing list in mid-air.

"Holy crap! The rankings have changed?!"

"The 888th person has changed? Who is Bing Tianxiao? I've never heard of him!"

"Wait! This aura... it's coming from the freshman area?!"

"A freshman, who just enrolled, has already knocked off the top-ranked students?! What kind of monster is this?!"

The entire Northern Cang Spiritual Academy instantly erupted in excitement!

Bing Tianxiao, the instigator, completely ignored the commotion outside.

He was looking smugly at the huge string of numbers that had suddenly increased on his spiritual value card.

"Hahaha! We're rich! We're rich!"

Bing Tianxiao proudly waved the spirit value token in his hand and raised an eyebrow at Luo Li:

"See that? This is the right way to get rich! Let's go shopping!"

Luo Li looked at his nouveau riche-like face, and her eyes twitched slightly.

"Let's go."

She said softly, then turned and walked towards the Spirit Value Hall.

Although this guy always manages to cause some shocking commotion, it doesn't seem so bad.
