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

Li Xuantong's voice was slightly hoarse, but his eyes became much clearer. "Her judgment is indeed better than mine."

Bing Tianxiao raised an eyebrow, ignoring the question, and simply smiled faintly: "Just remember what you promised after you're done."

Li Xuantong nodded, said no more, and turned to walk down the battle platform in a dejected manner.

He knew that although his era was not yet over, Bing Tianxiao's era had officially begun.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Elder Zhutian's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of solemnity.

"Since everyone is here today, I will announce something important."

The entire room fell silent instantly, and everyone held their breath.

"In one month, the annual grand event of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy—the Hunting War—will begin!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Hunting battles are an opportunity that countless students dream of, and a grand feast for improving their strength.

"but,"

Elder Zhutian's tone shifted, a hint of amusement in his eyes, "The rules for this hunting battle have changed."

The final challenge you will face this time will not be a single general from the Execution Hall as in previous years.

Everyone was taken aback. He was no longer a general?

Has the difficulty been reduced?

However, Elder Zhutian's next words made everyone's hearts sink to the bottom.

"This time, you will be challenging three gatekeepers at the same time."

They are—Lin Zheng, Zhou Qingshan, and Gu Tianyan!

Upon hearing these three names, the entire Spirit Arena fell into a deathly silence.

You could even hear the sound of many people swallowing.

"This...this must be a joke, right?"

"Lin Zheng, Zhou Qingshan, and Gu Tianyan? Aren't those the three generals of the current Execution Hall?"

"They're more than just generals! They were among the top three on the previous Heavenly Ranking! Each one of them is a top expert who has been immersed in the late stage of the Transformation Realm for many years!"

"Lin Zheng among them has probably already entered the Heavenly Realm!"

Su Xuan, He Yao, and the others' expressions instantly turned extremely ugly.

If it were a current general, they would still have a fighting chance.

Facing these three veteran prodigies who have graduated and honed their skills in forces like the Dragon Demon Palace for many years would be a nightmare-level challenge.

Bing Tianxiao stood on the battle platform, listening to the news, but his expression remained unchanged.

This is the original content.

"Three veterans in the top three of the Heavenly Ranking? They seem so-so."

Bing Tianxiao stretched and walked towards Luo Li, secretly making plans in his mind.

As far as he knew, the three generals of Xingdian did not participate in the Lingyuan Grand Competition.

Their strength is only at the level of an ordinary graduate, that is, the late stage of the Heavenly Transformation Realm...

Immediately, he approached Luo Li with a grin.

"How was it, Lady Luo? Did I do alright?"

Bing Tianxiao leaned closer and deliberately lowered his voice.

Looking at the thick-skinned, black-hearted face in front of her, Luo Li's cool eyes softened with a hint of helplessness.

She reached out her slender fingers and gently straightened Bing Tianxiao's slightly disheveled collar, saying softly:

"Cool. But don't push yourself so hard next time; that move must have taken a lot of strain on you."

"Hehe, with just one word from you, it's all worth it to work so hard."

Bing Tianxiao's blatant flirting caused the remaining students around him to twitch at the corners of their eyes.

"Let's go, let's go, we can't stay on this Spirit Battle Arena anymore."

Mu Chen clutched his chest, looking like he had a toothache, and waved to the people from the New Mu Clan behind him.

"Hurry back and cultivate! Didn't you hear what the elder said? We'll be participating in the hunting battle in a month. If we don't work hard, we won't even get a taste of the spoils."

Su Xuan chuckled softly, then turned and left with Su Ling'er.

The crane demon, whose face had been gloomy,

He merely snorted coldly and turned away.

Clearly, Bing Tianxiao's displayed combat prowess put him under unprecedented pressure.

Right now, all he wants to do is go into seclusion.

In the blink of an eye, the once bustling Spirit Arena was completely deserted, leaving only a few janitors still cleaning up the battlefield.

……

They returned to the quiet courtyard where the two of them lived.

Bing Tianxiao pulled Luo Li to sit down.

"Here, take it."

With a flick of his wrist, three exquisite jade bottles appeared on the stone table, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance that even caused a thin layer of frost to appear in the surrounding air.

"What is this?" Luo Li was slightly taken aback.

"The remaining Xuanbing Tempering Spirit Pills, and this bottle of Nine-Turn Cold Soul Pills."

Bing Tianxiao pushed the jade bottle in front of Luo Li.

Luo Li hurriedly declined, saying, "These are all top-grade pills you brought from home. You should keep them for yourself to improve your cultivation. I don't lack cultivation resources."

"Take it."

Without a word, Bing Tianxiao grabbed her hand, placed the jade bottle in her palm, and his eyes became serious.

"Although these pills have ice properties, their medicinal properties are extremely warm."

As long as one isn't a madman like those who cultivate extreme fire elemental power, consuming it will greatly refine their spiritual power and stabilize their soul.

He paused, his tone becoming somewhat domineering:

"I'm already at the late stage of the Transformation Realm, so these two kinds of pills have no effect on me anymore."

Looking into Bing Tianxiao's eyes, which were filled with concern, Luo Li felt a gentle touch on the softest part of her heart.

She did not refuse again, but simply held the jade bottles that still carried the warmth of the boy's body.

She did not refuse again, but simply held the jade bottles that still carried the warmth of the boy's body.

On that beautiful, aloof face, a smile bloomed that could outshine a hundred flowers.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

"That's right."

Bing Tianxiao resumed his lazy demeanor, leaning back and resting his head on his hands, watching the clouds drift across the sky.

In the courtyard, a gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers.

……

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist and fell upon the courtyard, Luo Li had already left.

She went to cultivate in the Level 7 Spirit Gathering Array...

"This girl is really strong-willed."

Bing Tianxiao sat up, stretched, and his bones crackled like popping beans.

For him now, the accumulation of spiritual power has reached a bottleneck.

Don't rush.

"The Tyrant Dragon Body..."

With a thought, Bing Tianxiao recalled the domineering and unparalleled divine technique from the divine beast's inheritance.

This divine technique is divided into three levels. When mastered, one can transform into a true dragon and tear the sky apart with one's bare hands.

The first stage involves various forging methods, one of which is "lightning forging".

As the name suggests, it involves drawing lightning into the body to completely reshape the bones, meridians, and flesh with the most violent lightning power.

Then the first level of this divine art would officially begin...

"The Thunder Domain of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy is indeed the most perfect training ground for this 'Thunder Forging' technique."

Bing Tianxiao muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

Northern Cangling Academy, Thunder Domain.

As a sacred cultivation ground in the Spirit Academy whose reputation is no less than that of the Spirit Gathering Array, the Thunder Domain is shrouded in thick black clouds all year round.

Countless silver-snake-like bolts of lightning weaved through the clouds, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction.

At this moment, the entrance to the Thunder Domain was bustling with people.

"Wow, the hunting battle is about to begin! Everyone come to the Thunder Domain to train!"

"Of course! The Thunder Domain is so much cheaper than the Advanced Spirit Gathering Array!"

"..."

Just as everyone was discussing this, the crowd suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
