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

Looking at Luo Li's aloofness, a hint of sadness flashed in Li Xuantong's eyes.

He knew Luo Li's personality well and was used to such cold treatment.

But when his gaze swept over Luo Li's side and he saw that the two were almost touching, his brows furrowed slightly.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

Then, the gaze settled on Bing Tianxiao, who was looking quite relaxed.

"You're Bing Tianxiao?"

Li Xuantong's voice was no longer as calm as it had been when he was facing Luo Li; instead, it carried a scrutinizing tone.

Between the lines, a hint of undisguised hostility is subtly revealed.

"Genuine or genuine."

Bing Tianxiao's roguish smile not only didn't fade, but actually became even brighter.

"What's wrong, Senior Li Xuantong? Did you come all this way to see me today?"

Li Xuantong's eyes turned cold, and his tone gradually turned icy. "I just came to see who she was that she cared about so much. Now it seems she's nothing special."

The moment he finished speaking, he took a step forward.

boom!

Without any unnecessary words, a powerful spiritual force, almost tangible, suddenly surged out from his body!

That oppressive force rushed straight towards Bing Tianxiao, crushing him.

"hiss--"

The surrounding freshmen turned pale instantly, under the terrifying pressure of the second-ranked figure on the Heavenly Ranking.

They found it extremely difficult to breathe and retreated in horror.

Even Mu Chen's eyes narrowed, and he secretly activated the Great Floating Pagoda Technique within his body to barely withstand the aftershocks.

However, Bing Tianxiao, who was at the eye of the storm, remained remarkably calm.

"Buzz—"

An extremely cold aura emanated from Bing Tianxiao's body.

boom!

Two invisible, terrifying forces collided violently in mid-air!

Click!Click!

The hard bluestone ground between the two of them suddenly let out a mournful cry, unable to bear the weight any longer.

A violent spiritual wind raged wildly in all directions, causing Bing Tianxiao's clothes and black hair to dance wildly in the wind.

But Bing Tianxiao's posture was as upright as a spear.

No matter how much pressure Li Xuantong exerted, he remained unmoved!

He not only calmly accepted the pressure from the second-ranked player on the Heavenly Ranking, but also subtly rivaled Li Xuantong!

The entire room fell silent.

All the freshmen gasped, staring at the smiling boy as if he were a monster.

That's second on the Heavenly Ranking!

A freshman actually withstood Li Xuantong's pressure in a contest of sheer force of will?!

A hint of surprise finally flashed in Li Xuantong's eyes.

The initial disdain subsided somewhat, replaced by a look of seriousness.

"The gift the senior gave us was quite unique."

Bing Tianxiao chuckled softly, and a deep blue spiritual energy circulated around her.

His eyes revealed a disdainful arrogance and confidence:

"However, I have a bad temper and I hate it when people tell me what to do."

Am I even qualified to stand beside her...?

He turned his head and glanced at the quiet Luo Li beside him, his tone revealing extreme arrogance:

"This is none of your business."

"If you would like to offer your guidance, senior, I, Bing Tianxiao, am always ready to oblige!"

"Ice elemental power..."

Li Xuantong narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression carrying a hint of accusation:

"You're from the Ice Spirit Clan? But you're probably not from the main branch!"

Although it is a question, the tone is quite certain.

In this vast world, the only one who could possess such domineering ice-attribute spiritual power is the Ice Spirit Clan.

"But as a member of the Ice Spirit Clan, you should be aware of the burden she carries..."

Clang!

A clear, melodious sword cry suddenly rang out.

Luo Li's face instantly turned icy cold, and the Luo Shen Sword in her hand was already half an inch out of its sheath.

The incomparably sharp sword energy instantly locked onto Li Xuantong.

She wouldn't allow anyone to question Bing Tianxiao, much less allow anyone to judge their relationship from such a condescending perspective.

"My affairs are none of your business."

The girl's cool voice carried a hint of barely perceptible anger.

Just as the sword energy was about to erupt, a warm, large hand gently pressed down on the hilt of her sword, tenderly suppressing the restless sword intent.

"It's alright, leave it to me."

Bing Tianxiao winked at Luo Li, looking completely relaxed.

Then he turned around and looked directly at Li Xuantong.

"A branch of the Ice Spirit Clan? That's just an origin."

Bing Tianxiao took a step forward, and his aura underwent a dramatic change at that moment.

"Senior Li Xuantong, you keep saying that she bears the weight of the rise and fall of her race, and that I am not worthy to stand by her side."

How do you know that what I'm carrying is lighter than what she's carrying?

"The Luo Shen Clan has its own affairs, and I, Bing Tianxiao, naturally have my own ambitions."

Bing Tianxiao's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated clearly in everyone's ears, carrying a moving firmness:

"If she wants to revitalize the Luo Shen Clan, then I will help her clear away all obstacles; if she wants to reach the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Worlds, then I will be the highest ladder to send her up!"

"As for my own goals..."

A wildly arrogant smile curved his lips, and the light in his eyes shone brighter than the stars in the sky.

"What I want to become is a supreme powerhouse in the Great Thousand Worlds, just like the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor!"

"So, Li Xuantong, stop with your clichés."

I not only know what she's carrying, but I also know the path I need to walk myself.

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned by Bing Tianxiao's bold words.

Holy crap, this guy is so arrogant, he actually wants to be on par with Emperor Yan and Martial Ancestor!

"Such arrogance."

Li Xuantong spoke calmly, his tone still cold and hard, but less aggressive than before:

"Do you want to become someone like Emperor Yan or Martial Ancestor?"

In this Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, ambitious people are as numerous as carp crossing a river, but how many can truly achieve their goals?

His gaze swept over the shocked freshmen around him, finally settling back on Bing Tianxiao's arrogant and confident face:

"Simply saying nice things is meaningless. In this vast world, strength reigns supreme."

If you are a true dragon, then prove it to me! This freshman orientation is the best stage.

"If you can't even secure the top spot among the new students, if you can't even conquer this small Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, how can you talk about helping her? How can you talk about becoming a supreme expert?"

Li Xuantong's words resonated deeply.

However, Bing Tianxiao merely smiled dismissively in response to these almost provocative words.

He crossed his arms, tilted his chin slightly back, and his eyes revealed an arrogant disdain for the world.

"I, Bing Tianxiao, act without needing to prove anything to others."

What I want to do, the path I want to take, doesn't need anyone else's approval, much less your so-called test.

"but……"

Bing Tianxiao changed the subject:

"Now that I've come to the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, the top spot among the freshmen should naturally be mine."

Not only that…

He stared directly at Li Xuantong, his eyes gleaming with undisguised ambition:

"I've already reserved the number one spot on the daily ranking!"

Including you, senior Li Xuantong, you'd better be prepared to be surpassed by me!

These words caused another uproar in the room.

Everyone stared at Bing Tianxiao as if he were a madman.

These freshmen... are absolutely insane!

Not only do they want to be number one among the freshmen, but they also want to challenge for number one on the Heavenly Ranking?

He doesn't even take Li Xuantong, who is ranked second on the Heavenly Ranking, seriously?

Upon hearing this, Li Xuantong did not get angry but laughed instead.

That smile held a hint of appreciation, and a touch of anticipation:

Good! Very good!

Since you have such ambition, then I'll wait and see.

Hopefully, by then, your abilities will match your arrogance.

After saying that, he gave Luo Li a deep look, said no more, turned around and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the horizon.

Only a faint sentence lingered in the air:

"I'll be waiting for you on the Heavenly Ranking. Don't let me down."
