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

Watching Li Xuantong's departing figure, Bing Tianxiao curled her lip:

"Tch, stop pretending to be so profound."

"Once I reach the mid-stage of the Transformation Realm, you'll be the first one I use as practice!"

Then, he turned around and looked at Luo Li, who had been quietly watching him, and the arrogance on his face instantly turned into a gentle smile:

"How was that? Wasn't that incredibly cool? Did I charm you?"

Looking at his expectant expression, Luo Li felt a hint of helplessness in her cool eyes.

"They just like to show off."

Although she said that, she knew in her heart that this young man was never one to just talk big.

Since he says he wants to be number one, he will definitely do his best to achieve it.

Bing Tianxiao turned around and raised her hand to greet Mu Chen:

"Hey, Mu Chen! Did you see that scene just now? Weren't you impressed by my domineering presence?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen shook his head helplessly, a gentle smile appearing on his handsome face:

"Li Xuantong is no pushover; you're likely in for some trouble."

"Pshaw, what are we afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way."

Bing Tianxiao waved his hand dismissively, then pulled Luo Li along.

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the freshmen, he swaggered away.

……

The next day.

As the first rays of dawn pierced through the clouds and shone upon the vast Northern Cang Spiritual Academy.

The academy, which had been silent all night, suddenly erupted in excitement.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The ancient and melodious chimes echoed throughout the heavens and earth, announcing the official start of this year's freshman assembly.

Afterwards, students from each dormitory area followed their instructors to the freshman orientation meeting place.

Countless figures converged from all directions, the sky was dark and heavy, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Not only the freshmen, but also many returning students came after hearing the news.

They all wanted to see who among this year's freshmen would claim the title of strongest newcomer.

At the very front of the line, in the most prominent and eye-catching position, several figures stood quietly.

Bing Tianxiao, dressed in a snow-white robe, stood there with his arms crossed, looking languid.

Beside him, Luo Li was still dressed in a simple white dress, as pure and aloof as a lotus, standing out from the noisy surroundings, yet impossible to ignore.

Bing Tianxiao finally stopped on a vast plain in front of a majestic mountain range.

Looking out, the plain was almost completely filled with countless newborns, their voices clamoring and their noise reaching the sky.

At the very edge of the plain, the mountain range soars into the clouds, its ruggedness and mystery faintly visible amidst the swirling mist.

An ancient and desolate aura wafted over me.

"Is this Beiling Mountain?"

Bing Tianxiao squinted, examining the mountain.

Just then, three whooshing sounds suddenly came from the sky.

call out!call out!call out!

Three streaks of light, like meteorites, pierced the sky and descended upon the plains with a terrifying, suffocating pressure.

As the light faded, three aged figures were revealed.

In the center stood a man dressed in a gray robe, with white hair and beard, yet his face resembled that of a young man.

But those eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if they could see through all illusions.

He stood with his hands behind his back, and no spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from his body, but no one present dared to underestimate him.

"That's... Elder Tianxi, Zhutian!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

They clearly recognized this person who held a very high position in the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy.

Elder Zhutian's gaze slowly swept over the vibrant young faces below, his voice resounding clearly in everyone's ears:

Mo Zhi's Thoughts: Read this book!

"I, Zhutian, will preside over this year's freshman assembly."

The entire room fell silent instantly, everyone holding their breath, waiting for the bigwig to give his instructions.

Elder Zhutian smiled slightly and, without further ado, cut straight to the point:

"I know what you're all expecting."

However, the rules for this year's freshman orientation are slightly different from previous years.

These words immediately caused an uproar below.

"Different? Isn't it a ring battle?"

"How do we compare them?"

Elder Zhutian raised his hand in a gesture of quiet, then pointed to the mist-shrouded Northern Spirit Mountain behind him:

"This time, we won't set up a ring or do any fancy one-on-one matches."

"Do you see that Northern Spirit Mountain? On its summit, there's a spirit flag."

"The rules are simple: whoever is the first to capture that spirit flag will be the number one freshman this year!"

"Whoosh—!"

The entire venue erupted in cheers once again.

These simple and straightforward rules, on the contrary, ignited the passion of the teenagers even more.

There are no complicated lotteries, no element of luck, it's a pure contest of speed and skill!

Whoever is fastest and strongest is king!

However, Elder Zhutian had not finished speaking.

A sly glint flashed in his deep eyes as he slowly added:

"However, I must remind you of something."

"Besides the treacherous terrain, several Heavenly Rank spirit beasts also live on this Northern Spirit Mountain."

"A Celestial-Rank Spirit Beast?!"

The moment those two words were uttered, the previously enthusiastic freshmen were instantly doused with ice water, their faces turning bitter.

Are you suggesting that these freshmen should face such monsters?

Seeing this, Elder Zhutian's smile widened even further:

Of course, the first of the top five students to reach the summit will receive a reward of 500,000 spirit points.

The second is 400,000, and so on.

Zhu Tian smiled and said, "Of course, most importantly, the top five will be granted the qualification to enter the Spirit Technique Temple by exception."

There, if you're lucky enough, you might even obtain a divine-level spiritual technique...

"A divine-level spiritual technique?"

All the new students gasped.

That's something that countless people flock to, and it has an endless attraction for them.

"A divine-level spiritual technique... My God!"

"We'll fight tooth and nail to get into the top five this time!"

"Anyone who dares to stand in my way, I'll fight them to the death!"

At this moment of great excitement, Bing Tianxiao, standing at the very front, seemed somewhat out of place.

He looked completely uninterested:

"A divine-level spiritual technique? I'm really not interested in that stuff."

"However..."

Bing Tianxiao abruptly changed the subject, his gaze instantly sharpening:

"The 500,000 spirit points for first place, and the title of the top freshman—I'm determined to get them!"

Thinking of this, he turned to look at Luo Li beside him:

"Luo Li, shall we take first and second place?"

Luo Li stood there quietly, her cool eyes as still as a deep well.

"what ever."

Although it was only two words, the confidence and composure in his tone were in no way inferior to Bing Tianxiao's.

None of this mattered to her.

However, since he wanted first place, she would accompany him to get it.

"Hehe, I knew you'd say that."
