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

boom--!

A deafening roar exploded between heaven and earth, as if even space itself was being torn apart by this terrifying collision.

The blinding light instantly engulfed everything. The icy blue and dark black spiritual energies intertwined and eroded each other wildly, transforming into a visible shockwave that swept outwards in a ring shape.

The students watching from the sidelines stared blankly.

Is this really a battle between freshmen?

This destructive power is so great that even some senior cultivators at the Transformation Realm would have to give way!

At the center of the light, the two forces remained locked in a stalemate for only a few breaths.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out, sounding particularly jarring amidst the roar.

Everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.

As the hundred-story pagoda was being suppressed, fine cracks appeared on its surface!

These cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, covering the entire tower in the blink of an eye.

The ice-blue dragon, though its body appeared somewhat ethereal.

But the dragon's eyes still revealed an unruly and domineering nature, and its claws gripped the tower tightly, the cold air frantically eroding it.

"Break!"

Bing Tianxiao let out a loud shout.

The ice dragon spewed out a stream of icy air, aiming at the spot where the cracks in the pagoda were most concentrated!

Bang!

This blow became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

The majestic pagoda exploded with a deafening roar!

Fragments of black light danced in the air, like black snowflakes falling.

Amidst the swirling fragments, the icy blue dragon roared with its head held high, displaying the posture of a victor.

Soaring straight up to the heavens, the dragon's roar resounded throughout the world, shaking the hearts and minds of everyone present.

puff!

The outcome is decided!

The world was deathly silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene, unable to recover for a long time.

Mu Chen, who possessed the essence of the Nine Nether Bird and unleashed such terrifying techniques, was still defeated?

Defeated by Bing Tianxiao, who didn't even use the spirit beast's essence?

"Just how strong is this guy?"

Someone swallowed hard, their voice trembling.

Bingqing looked surprised and then glanced at Luo Li, who remained calm beside her.

So, this is his true strength?

Even Mu Chen, who possessed the essence of the eleventh most ferocious beast on the Earth Ranking, was able to defeat it head-on...

Luo Li looked at Bing Tianxiao quietly, the faint smile on her lips seeming to deepen a bit.

She never doubted that he would lose.

Because he is Bing Tianxiao.

Bing Tianxiao leaped down from the ice dragon, looked at the pale-faced Mu Chen, and grinned:

"How about it? Do you submit?"

Although it was a question.

But there wasn't much arrogance in his tone; instead, it carried a hint of friendly banter.

Mu Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a bitter smile:

"I admit it. But... maybe not next time."

"Haha, I'm always ready!"

Bing Tianxiao stepped forward and extended his hand.

Without any hesitation, Mu Chen grabbed Bing Tianxiao's hand and used it to stand up.

Although he lost, he gained a lot from the battle.

"They...they won? Bing Tianxiao won!"

"This is a true monster! It can even suppress the terrifying Nine Nether Bird!"

"The number one person in the Northern Cang Realm... is none other than him!"

Countless gazes converged on the boy in blue, their eyes filled with awe and fervor.

This battle solidified Bing Tianxiao's unshakeable dominance among this year's freshmen.

On the other side of the battle.

Bingqing, who was still locked in combat with Luo Li, slowly withdrew her spiritual power.

There's always a story waiting for you to uncover.

She looked at Luo Li in front of her, a deep sense of frustration flashing in her eyes.

Despite his best efforts and even resorting to clan secret techniques, he was still unable to break through Luo Li's defenses.

This girl is like an insurmountable iceberg, calm yet powerful enough to inspire despair.

"I lost."

Bingqing sighed softly.

Although unwilling, I have to accept reality.

Luo Li nodded slightly, sheathed her sword, her movements fluid and graceful without the slightest hesitation.

She didn't say much, but with a flash, she landed lightly beside Bing Tianxiao.

Bing Tianxiao grinned and raised the flag!

At this moment, he is the undisputed king!

The first freshman to achieve this honor is truly well-deserved!

……

In the days following the conclusion of the freshman assembly, the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy was still immersed in the afterglow of that earth-shattering duel.

Bing Tianxiao's name was at its zenith, resounding throughout the entire freshman district.

Even many senior students took notice.

However, Bing Tianxiao was at the eye of the storm.

At this moment, however, he was not enjoying the praise of the crowd, but was cultivating alone.

Luo Li went to cultivate in the advanced spirit-gathering array.

Just as he was about to finish his practice, a familiar, somewhat oppressive fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly entered his perception range without warning.

Bing Tianxiao slowly opened his eyes, a hint of impatience flashing in his deep gaze.

"It's you again?"

He stood up and calmly looked across the cold pool.

There, Li Xuantong stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a blue robe, his refined demeanor revealing an undeniable arrogance.

"Hey Li, aren't you just bored? Why are you staring at a freshman like me all day?"

Bing Tianxiao dusted himself off, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.

Bing Tianxiao dusted himself off, his tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.

Li Xuantong's expression remained unchanged; he simply stared quietly at Bing Tianxiao.

"Bing Tianxiao, your talent is indeed remarkable, even astonishing. You truly deserve the top spot among the freshmen."

"But you should also be clear that the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy is not a greenhouse."

Your current strength may make you a formidable opponent among the new students, but it's still insufficient in the face of true powerhouses.

"Luo Li bears a heavy responsibility; her future is destined to be extraordinary. And you... will only become a burden to her."

"Leave her. It's the best choice for both of you."

It's the same old excuse again!

Bing Tianxiao was so tired of hearing it that his ears were practically calloused.

In the original story, Mu Chen was "educated" by this guy several times, which made him want to smash the screen.

Now it's my turn?

"Oh……"

Bing Tianxiao suddenly laughed, his laughter carrying a hint of arrogance and disdain.

"Li Xuantong, aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

"Luo Li is my woman. We'll handle her future ourselves; it's none of your business!"

"A burden? You dare use that word?"

Li Xuantong frowned slightly.

His spiritual energy fluctuated subtly, and a terrifying pressure belonging to the late stage of the Transformation Realm instantly enveloped him:

"It seems that being ranked first among the freshmen has made you a bit arrogant. Since you won't listen to advice, then I have no choice but to..."

"What's the only option? Take action?"

Bing Tianxiao sneered, not giving him a chance to finish speaking.

hum!

He flipped his right hand over.

A longbow, crystal clear and exuding a chilling aura, instantly appeared in his palm.

"Ice Crystal Annihilation - Release!"

As the words fell, one of the seven ice imprints on the ice bow melted away...

Bing Tianxiao's aura surged instantly.

The spiritual energy fluctuations that were originally suppressed by Li Xuantong were actually pushed back at this moment!
