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

The entire room fell silent.

A moment later, someone shouted first.

"We won!"

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar of cheers erupted like a tsunami, almost lifting the dome of the entire arena.

"We won! Bing Tianxiao won!"

"Tenth on the Heavenly Ranking! One of our freshmen has made it into the top ten!"

"That's incredible! Is this what Senior Bing's strength is like?!"

Bing Tianxiao sheathed his halberd and stood there, gently exhaling a breath of white air.

"Phew... these three days weren't wasted."

He snapped his fingers casually.

Snapped!

The solid ice covering Zhou Fan shattered and dissipated instantly, turning into ice shards scattered across the sky.

Zhou Fan landed awkwardly, his body still trembling slightly.

It was clearly badly affected by the cold.

He looked at the still smiling boy in front of him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Finally, he sighed bitterly, clasped his hands in a fist and said:

"I lost."

"You're not bad either."

Bing Tianxiao smiled.

He casually dispersed the chilling halberd, which turned into specks of icy blue light that merged into his body.

Just then, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body!

boom!

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be drawn by some force, frantically converging towards Bing Tianxiao, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex visible to the naked eye.

At the center of that vortex was Bing Tianxiao.

The spiritual energy emanating from his body broke through the invisible shackles and stepped into a completely new world!

Transcendent Realm!

The aura it exuded was several times stronger than during the battle just now!

"this……"

Zhou Fan, who had just regained his balance, suddenly narrowed his eyes and showed a look of surprise on his face.

"He's only just broken through to the Transformation Realm?!"

Not only him, but all the senior and junior students in the arena.

At this moment, everyone's eyes widened and their mouths were agape, big enough to fit an egg.

It turns out that Bing Tianxiao was just at the Fusion Realm!

He defeated a top ten senior in the Heavenly Ranking who was at the Transformation Realm with his cultivation at the Fusion Realm.

Is this some kind of exaggerated statement? This is too much of a blow!

"call--"

Bing Tianxiao, who was at the center of the storm, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The turbid air condensed into frost, which drifted in the air.

He felt the vast, ever-flowing spiritual power within his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

The series of fierce battles over the past few days finally allowed him to break through the bottleneck.

"The Transformation Realm... is indeed different."

Bing Tianxiao clenched his fist.

I feel like I could easily defeat the version of myself that hadn't even broken through to the previous level in just a dozen or so moves.

That feeling of controlling the world was simply wonderful.

Congratulations, Junior Bing!

Zhou Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and bitterness in his heart, and sincerely clasped his hands in congratulations.

Losing to a newcomer at the Fusion Realm might be a bit embarrassing.

But considering that the other top ten players will probably have to go through the same thing, it doesn't seem so hard to accept...

"Thank you for making this possible, Senior Zhou."

Bing Tianxiao concealed his aura.

The strange phenomena in the sky then dissipated, and he returned to being the seemingly harmless, sunny boy.

He smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Zhou Fan:

"If it weren't for my senior, I wouldn't have been able to break through this bottleneck so easily."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fan shook his head with a wry smile:

"You're too kind, junior. With your talent, a breakthrough is only a matter of time."

After a brief chat, Bing Tianxiao prepared to leave.

Go find Luo Li and meet up, and share your joy of breaking through.

At this moment, a commotion arose from the outer edge of the crowd.

Although the sound was not loud, he could hear it clearly with his current perception at the Transformation Realm.

"Hey, did you hear? Something happened at the Level 6 Spirit Gathering Array just now!"

"What's wrong?"

"She seemed to be a freshman girl, extremely beautiful, with silver hair like a fairy. She got into a conflict with Xu Qingqing and directly hit her!"

"Holy crap, that's intense? Xu Qingqing is Xu Huang's sister! Isn't Xu Huang extremely protective of his own?"

"That's right! I heard Xu Huang has already led his men over there; that freshman girl is probably in for a world of hurt..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Bing Tianxiao, who had been wearing a lazy smile, suddenly stiffened.

The next instant, a terrifying aura, even more chilling and bone-chilling than during the previous battle, swept across the entire area!

The surrounding air seemed to freeze at that moment, and the temperature plummeted to freezing point.

Swish!

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and Bing Tianxiao, who was originally at the edge of the arena, disappeared into thin air like a ghost.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of the student who was gossiping.

A long, strong hand gripped the man's shoulder with such force that the man's bones creaked.

Bing Tianxiao's usually smiling eyes now revealed a hint of ferocity:

"You just said...where did Xu Huang go to look for?"

The student was so frightened that he stammered:

"I'm going... to find that silver-haired girl... at the Level 6 Spirit Gathering Array Heavenly Lake..."

"Heavenly Lake..."

Bing Tianxiao repeated the phrase aloud.

Dare to touch Luo Li?

court death!

boom!

The bluestone ground beneath their feet instantly cracked, blasting out a deep crater.

Without any further words, Bing Tianxiao transformed into a streak of dark blue light.

……

Level 6 Spirit Gathering Array, Heavenly Lake.

This place was originally a sacred cultivation ground with abundant spiritual energy and beautiful scenery. The lake was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding verdant mountains.

However, at this moment, this tranquility was completely shattered by a tense and murderous aura.

Luo Li stood quietly on a huge rock by the lake.

She was still wearing a white dress, her figure spotless, and her signature silver hair danced lightly in the wind.

It gleamed with a cool luster in the sunlight.

But at this moment, her beautiful face was covered with a layer of frost.

The jet-black Luoshen Sword in his hand was already drawn, its tip pointing diagonally at the ground.

A faint, sharp, and unparalleled sword aura emanated from the ground, cutting fine lines into the hard rock beneath their feet.

Opposite her, dozens of senior students dressed in uniform spread out in a fan shape, surrounding her.

These people all possessed considerable strength.

On their chests, each of them had a powerful and vigorous character "荒" (huang, meaning wilderness/desolation).

That's the symbol of the Great Wilderness Society.

This is a club established by Xu Huang, who ranked fifth on the Heavenly Ranking.

Directly in front of the crowd, a girl in a red dress, with a beautiful face but a hint of meanness, was covering half of her swollen cheek and staring at Luo Li with resentful eyes.

It was Xu Qingqing.

"You bitch! How dare you hit me?!"

Xu Qingqing's sharp voice broke the silence of the standoff.

She pointed at Luo Li, her finger trembling slightly with anger.

"Do you know who I am? Do you know who my brother is? If I don't ruin that vixen face of yours today, I'm not surnamed Xu!"

Luo Li's expression was indifferent.

"Hey junior, you went a bit too far, didn't you?"

A young man with an ordinary face but a somewhat cold and stern expression stepped forward first.

With a deep shout, a large hand reached out, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy swept out, grabbing at Luo Lihao's wrist like an eagle's claw.

"You deserve to lay a hand on her too!"

However, just as he made his move, a chilling voice rang out.

Click!Click!

Before the other party could react, the chill enveloped them.
