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

An older student looked at the rankings with a bitter expression. "I watched yesterday's competition. Ye Xiao, who was ranked twentieth, didn't even get a chance to touch the hem of his clothes before being frozen into an ice sculpture. It was too brutal!"

"Hmph, that's Ye Xiao, a piece of trash."

The other senior student next to him, though stubborn, had a look of fear in his eyes.

"This is outrageous. In previous years, we suppressed the freshmen for several months, but this time it's the other way around."

"Yes, it's unbelievable!"

Unlike the gloomy mood of the older students.

The freshman area was in an uproar, with countless freshmen idolizing him.

"Bing Ge is awesome! That was so satisfying!"

"Exactly! Let's see if those upperclassmen will dare call us newbies again! We freshmen have real talents among us!"

"Senior Bing Tianxiao is so incredibly handsome! I want to have his babies... no, I want to join his club!"

"Unfortunately, he has no interest in starting a club."

"..."

On the third day, Bing Tianxiao also issued a challenge to the tenth-ranked person on the Heavenly Ranking.

Although he had earned over a million spirit points, he hadn't yet achieved his goal...

The Heavenly Ranking Arena was packed with people, and almost all eyes were focused on the huge arena in the center.

The clamor soared to the sky, and the two factions were clearly divided.

"Senior Zhou Fan! Let's teach this arrogant freshman a lesson! Uphold the dignity of our Heavenly Ranking!"

The older students shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Bing-ge! Go for it! Crush the top ten! Make history!"

The new students were even more enthusiastic, beating drums and gongs with great momentum.

Amidst the clamor, Bing Tianxiao stood proudly, holding a chilling halberd.

Opposite him was a burly young man exuding a violent, thunderous aura.

Zhou Fan ranks tenth on the Heavenly Ranking!

"New student Bing Tianxiao, please enlighten me!"

Bing Tianxiao grinned, and the halberd in his hand suddenly trembled.

A chilling aura, powerful enough to freeze spiritual energy, swept across the entire area in an instant, causing the previously boiling air to seem to solidify for a moment.

Zhou Fan looked at the freshman in front of him, who was a few years younger than himself, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He didn't show the typical anger that older students feel when challenged.

"To have reached this position in less than a year since you enrolled, you are indeed very talented."

Zhou Fan crossed his arms, lightning crackling around him, and his voice was deep and powerful:

"Although Ye Xiao is ranked twentieth, I can defeat him within ten moves if we were to fight him."

So if you think that beating him qualifies you to challenge for a top-ten spot, you're probably going to be disappointed.

He spoke calmly, as if stating a fact.

There was no deliberate mockery, but rather the composure and confidence of someone ranked among the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking.

After all, the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking are completely different from those below them.

Upon hearing this, Bing Tianxiao wasn't angry. Instead, he played with the ice halberd in his hand and said with a grin:

"Senior is right, I don't think defeating Ye Xiao is anything special either. But..."

He abruptly changed the subject, his eyes instantly sharpening:

"I'm not doing this to beat up the weak; I'm challenging them to break through to the Transcendent Realm!"

"Heh, junior, you're really interesting."

Zhou Fan shook his head, a faint smile curving his lips. "Since you insist on fighting, then as your senior, I'll teach you what it means to be outmatched."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Fan's eyes suddenly turned cold.

boom!

A violent and incomparably powerful lightning spiritual energy erupted from his body in an instant.

Silvery lightning surged around him, as if he were wearing a layer of lightning armor.

"Raikage Step!"

A thunderous roar was heard, and Zhou Fan's figure vanished into thin air.

The next instant, a bolt of lightning carrying an aura of destruction appeared above Bing Tianxiao's head.

A fist crackling with raging lightning—your portable library contains more than ten thousand volumes. Slam it down!

"So fast!"

Countless freshmen in the audience gasped in surprise; at that speed, they couldn't even see the afterimage.

But Bing Tianxiao still had a smile on his face.

"The speed is good, but... it's too noisy."

clang--!

A crisp, metallic clang resounded throughout the arena.

Suddenly, Bing Tianxiao's halberd swept upwards.

He easily blocked that thunderous punch!

The raging thunder and the frigid ice collided wildly in mid-air, stirring up a storm of spiritual energy that filled the sky.

"Interesting, no wonder he was able to beat Ye Xiao."

Zhou Fan used the momentum to retreat, hovering in mid-air.

Finally, he dropped his nonchalant attitude, and a fighting spirit rose in his eyes:

"In that case, let me see just how far you, this dark horse, can go!"

"Then so be it!"

Bing Tianxiao let out a long roar, and the ice halberd in his hand suddenly trembled, and an extremely cold storm suddenly erupted from him.

"Mystic Ice Whirlwind Kill!"

He swayed and soared into the sky, meeting Zhou Fan in mid-air.

"Well done!"

Zhou Fan roared, clenched his fists, and lightning crackled around him, transforming into countless silver snakes that danced wildly.

"Thunder shakes the heavens!"

Boom boom boom!

The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle in mid-air.

In an instant, the atmosphere above the arena changed dramatically.

"This is incredible! Is this what a battle between the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking is like?"

"Bing Tianxiao actually managed to hold his own against senior Zhou Fan!"

"My god, I feel the chill from that ice halberd even through the barrier!"

"..."

The freshmen in the audience were mesmerized and filled with excitement.

"Thor's hammer!"

After a prolonged and unsuccessful battle, Zhou Fan was clearly getting really angry.

He suddenly rose higher, his hands loosely clenched.

Endless lightning gathered in his hand, condensing into a massive lightning warhammer, which smashed down on Bing Tianxiao with immense force.

This strike is enough to shatter a mountain!

Faced with this terrifying attack, Bing Tianxiao did not dodge.

He took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and his spiritual power surged wildly, all of which was poured into the halberd in his hand.

"The opening ceremony!"

He let out a low shout, and his halberd shot out like a sharp arrow!

This thrust, devoid of any flamboyance, seemed to encapsulate the chill of the entire far north.

A glint of eerie blue light flashed at the tip of the halberd, meeting the massive thunder hammer head-on.

boom--!

A deafening roar instantly engulfed the entire arena.

Lightning and ice shards exploded wildly, unleashing a terrifying shockwave.

If it weren't for the barrier, the entire arena would probably have been razed to the ground.

Under everyone's tense gaze, the lightning hammer was rapidly frozen by frost.

"What?!"

Zhou Fan's pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.

His Heavenly Thunder Technique is extremely powerful and yang, how could it possibly be frozen?

Unfortunately, reality is incredibly cruel.

The dark blue light pierced through the thunder hammer with unstoppable force, instantly enveloping Zhou Fan!

"not good!"

Zhou Fan was terrified. He tried to defend himself with all his might, but he felt even his flowing spiritual energy being frozen.

Click, click!

A crisp sound of ice forming rang out.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes in the audience, Zhou Fan maintained his defensive posture.

It was instantly covered by a thick layer of solid ice.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Fan was transformed into an ice sculpture.
