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

The aura at the bottom of the abyss gradually dissipated.

Bing Tianxiao weighed the Spirit King Crystal, which was radiating an astonishing aura, in his hand, then casually tossed it toward Luo Li beside him.

"Here, keep it safe."

Luo Li instinctively caught it, feeling the vast and pure energy emanating from her palm, and was slightly taken aback:

"You defeated this Spirit King, so this crystal should belong to you. With it, your spiritual initiation will definitely reach the highest level."

"I have no use for this thing."

Bing Tianxiao shrugged nonchalantly, his deep blue eyes full of laughter. "My spiritual empowerment should give me the power to defeat that guardian."

"But for you, using the ordinary stuff would be too embarrassing."

He leaned closer and lowered his voice: "Besides, if you don't get stronger, won't I just keep suppressing you?"

Luo Li blushed slightly, and without further hesitation, replied softly, "Okay, then I won't be polite."

Watching Luo Li carefully put away the crystal.

Bing Tianxiao turned his head and looked at the towering peaks to the north that pierced the clouds and radiated a magnificent glow.

……

Northern Cangling Academy, Northern Sea Square.

Over the past few days, this square has been almost constantly packed.

Countless students gathered here, looking up at the sky above the square.

There was a huge light screen there.

However, within the light screen, only three enormous mountain peaks were faintly visible in the clouds and mist.

Xing Dian's three generals were stationed on this mountain peak.

All the trainees knew that it was the final point of the hunting battle.

It is also the final stage of the hunting battle.

Of course, only when the final battle arrives will they be able to witness the earth-shattering battle from here.

Prior to this, they had not been able to obtain much information about the hunting grounds.

However, this time an unexpected situation occurred.

"Look! There's a picture!!"

One of the trainees gasped in surprise.

Within the light screen, the originally dark abyss was completely illuminated by silver spiritual light.

In the center of the image, the striking white hair stands out.

That was Bing Tianxiao.

He faced Xu Huang, ranked sixth on the Heavenly Ranking, Zhao Qingshan, ranked seventh, and Mu Fengyang, ranked ninth, with an almost overbearing attitude.

In the scene, three geniuses who were usually unapproachable unleashed their strongest skills, only to have them shattered by the three halberds casually thrown by the young man.

They then defeated the three as easily as autumn leaves falling.

Before everyone could recover from the shock,

The scene shifts, and when the Spirit King, whose entire body is as white as silver jade, descends into the world, everyone's breath catches in their throats.

But then, they witnessed what true "violent aesthetics" really is.

Under the cover of that dazzling sword light, Bing Tianxiao was like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, tearing apart and killing the Spirit King of the Tongtian Realm!

"hiss--!"

In the square, gasps of astonishment rose up like a tide, shaking the heavens.

"Is...is this even human? That's a Spirit King of the Heavenly Realm!"

"Second on the Heavenly Ranking... Bing Tianxiao, has he already entered the Heavenly Realm?"

On the high platform, even the elders who usually kept to themselves looked surprised.

Dean Taicang looked at the boy in the light screen, a deep and gratified smile playing on his lips: "This little guy really knows how to cause trouble..."

He was the one who brought these two people back, so naturally he was paying attention to them.

……

Within the hunting grounds, a storm was also raging.

A vast spiritual energy transmission resounded throughout the entire Spiritual Light Realm like thunder:

"In the Northwest, at an extremely dangerous gathering point, the Spirit King has been slain. The slayers: Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li!"

The news caused an immediate, deathly silence to fall over the entire hunting grounds.

What followed was a cacophony of voices that could shake mountains.

Was the Spirit King killed?

The Spirit King, who was almost invincible in previous hunting battles, was actually killed by this year's students?

In the southern part of the Spirit Realm, Shen Cangsheng let out a hearty laugh: "Haha! This junior brother is truly a monster."

It seems he's gotten much stronger; even those at the Heavenly Realm are just punching bags in his presence.

Li Xuantong stood to the side, dressed in white as snow, his long sword humming softly: "His physical strength has reached an extremely terrifying level, and he is only one step away from the Tongtian Realm."

"Shen Cangsheng, if he completes this spiritual empowerment, your position as number one on the Heavenly Ranking will likely be very difficult to maintain."

There was no trace of jealousy in Shen Cangsheng's eyes, only an intensely burning fighting spirit: "It's good that you can't sit still! I've been lonely in this academy for too long. Having an opponent like this will make the upcoming challenges much more interesting!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two exchanged a glance and transformed into two streaks of light, heading straight for the three main peaks at the core of the Spirit Light Realm.

……

As news of the Spirit King's fall spread throughout the entire Spirit Realm, the students who had initially harbored a glimmer of hope all abandoned their ambitions.

Everyone knows that the protagonist of this year's hunting battle has already been decided.

Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and Bing Tianxiao.

Su Xuan sighed helplessly: "It seems that we really won't get any of the three spots this year."

Beside her, even the usually arrogant Crane Demon remained unusually silent.

Although he was filled with resentment, he knew very well.

Neither Bing Tianxiao nor Li Xuantong are people he can challenge.

With this, the candidates to challenge Xing Dian's three generals were finalized.

Shen Cangsheng is ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking; Bing Tianxiao is ranked second; and Li Xuantong is ranked third.

……

At the foot of Lingguang Mountain, three solitary peaks, like sharp swords piercing the clouds, stand in a triangular formation.

A vast and oppressive spiritual force enveloped the entire area.

When Bing Tianxiao arrived gracefully with Luo Li, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong had been waiting for a long time.

Shen Cangsheng looked at the striking white hair and couldn't help but scrutinize him, clicking his tongue in amazement, "Junior, you seem quite relaxed. Don't you feel any pressure at all?"

Bing Tianxiao casually slung the halberd over his shoulder and chuckled, "It's just a small problem."

"But what's wrong with you two seniors? Why are you stopping here? This isn't like you at all."

Li Xuantong's expression was slightly solemn.

He looked at the three solitary peaks and said calmly, "Those three senior students from Xingdian are no pushovers."

Lin Zheng, Zhou Qingshan, and Gu Tianyan—these three were just as famous back then as we are now.

Now they have all reached the Heavenly Realm!

"Xuantong and I have already tried fighting remotely before."

Shen Cangsheng picked up the conversation, his tone unusually serious, "That guy Lin Zheng has a terrifyingly deep foundation."

To be honest, unless we fight to the bitter end, the only thing we can guarantee right now is that we remain undefeated.

"To completely defeat them and obtain the initiation will be difficult."

Upon hearing this, Bing Tianxiao raised an eyebrow: "Judging from what Senior Shen is saying, if I hadn't joined..."

Are we, the top three on this year's honor roll, going to be humiliated in front of our senior classmates?

He clapped his hands, his tone relaxed: "Now that I'm here, isn't this a sure win?"

Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong exchanged a glance and both chuckled.

This junior student is indeed arrogant, but his strength certainly gives him the confidence to be arrogant.
