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

With the activation of the "Dragon and Phoenix Resonance Contract," the air in the entire courtyard seemed to freeze.

At this moment, their souls transcended the barrier of their physical bodies and truly intertwined.

It was a wonderful feeling that was hard to describe.

Bing Tianxiao seemed to transform into a colossal azure dragon soaring through the heavens, while Luo Li became an elegant and sacred phoenix. The dragon and phoenix circled each other, their souls intertwined.

In this absolute candor, their emotions, even the most subtle fears deep within their hearts, are presented to each other without reservation.

Bing Tianxiao sensed the weight and loneliness that Luo Li bore on the shoulders of the rise and fall of her clan.

Luo Li also touched upon Bing Tianxiao's obsession with becoming stronger and his deepest protection of her beneath his arrogant exterior.

"So... this is all there is to you?"

The other's voice echoed in their hearts at the same time.

That deep understanding between them elevated their tacit understanding to an unprecedented level.

At the same time, two completely different yet perfectly compatible spiritual energies began to circulate within their bodies.

Bing Tianxiao's domineering Tongtian Realm spiritual power guided the slightly restless infusion energy within Luo Li's body, refining and compressing it repeatedly until it finally settled steadily in her Qi Sea.

Meanwhile, Luo Li's sacred spiritual power, originating from the Luo Shen clan, was also nourishing Bing Tianxiao's foundation, which had only recently been broken through.

This made the vortex that controlled the power of heaven and earth even more condensed.

After a long while, when the moon was high in the sky, the two slowly opened their eyes.

The moment their foreheads parted, it seemed as if glittering specks of light were dissipating in the air.

Luo Li's pretty face turned bright red.

The shy feeling of having her soul completely seen through, and even her spirits intertwined, made her unable to look directly into Bing Tianxiao's eyes for a moment.

However, she could clearly feel that her peak mid-stage Transformation Realm was as solid as a rock, and even her understanding of swordsmanship had become much deeper.

Bing Tianxiao let out a long sigh of relief, his previously unrestrained aura becoming deep and restrained.

"This feeling... is actually quite nice."

He looked at Luo Li, who was bowing her head shyly, reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering softly.

"Now, we are truly inseparable."

Luo Li leaned against his chest obediently, listening to his strong heartbeat, and whispered.

"Yes, we're all the same."

……

A month later, the tranquility of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy was shattered.

In this vast world, there are countless spiritual academies. Although the five major academies are the most renowned, it does not mean that no other spiritual academy can rival them.

Some spiritual academies with profound foundations are no less powerful than the five major academies, but they lack that reputation.

In pursuit of this reputation, some spiritual academies spare no effort in searching far and wide for geniuses.

They attempted to challenge the authority of the five colleges through the seemingly respectable guise of "college exchange."

The one challenging the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy this time is a high-level spiritual academy called "Tai Ding Spiritual Academy".

The exchange will take place at Beiming Square and will last for three days.

When the news spread, all the students in the academy were united in their hatred of the enemy and worked together against them.

After all, the struggles between students are for their own resources, while the struggles within the academy concern everyone!

…………

The first two days of the exchange meeting were exceptionally intense.

On the first day, both sides had their wins and losses.

Since none of the top ten students on the Heavenly Ranking, such as Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and Bing Tianxiao, have shown up.

The Northern Cang Spiritual Academy did not gain an absolute advantage.

On the second day, the top ten students on the Heavenly Ranking, such as He Yao, Su Xuan, Xu Huang, and Zhao Qingshan, all made their moves.

These senior students demonstrated the profound knowledge and strength expected of the five major academies, suppressing the arrogance of the Tai Ding Ling Academy with absolute power.

However, just when everyone thought that Tai Ding Ling Yuan had exhausted its tricks.

The situation on the third day took an astonishing turn.

Tai Ding Ling Academy sent a young man named Liu Zheng.

Let reading always be a chapter faster than others.

This person failed the assessment of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy back then, and after switching to the Tai Ding Spiritual Academy, he has been cultivating diligently ever since, his heart filled with thoughts of revenge.

He single-handedly defeated all the top students of Northern Cang except for the top three on the Heavenly Ranking.

This plunged the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy into an awkward silence.

Just when everyone's morale was low, Mu Chen stepped forward.

Using a variety of methods, Mu Chen defeated Liu Zheng under the watchful eyes of everyone.

This immediately sparked cheers from the entire audience.

"We won! Well done, Mu Chen!"

"He was hiding his abilities too well; Mu Chen can actually fight against opponents of a higher level!"

"..."

Amid the cheers, Dean Fei Qingsong of Taiding Spiritual Academy, his face grim, let out a cold laugh:

"The Northern Cang Spiritual Academy truly lives up to its reputation; however, we still have one last student who has not yet taken the stage."

Dean Taicang frowned slightly.

Just as the atmosphere became tense again, two figures slowly walked over from a distance.

The once noisy square fell eerily quiet for a moment after the two people appeared.

That was Bing Tianxiao and Luo Li.

The month-long "Dragon-Phoenix Resonance" dual cultivation brought about a tremendous change in the aura of the two.

Luo Li's silver hair shone brightly in the sunlight, and her glass eyes were as deep as the sea.

Under the baptism of the dragon-phoenix resonance, she not only completely absorbed the power of the Spirit King's Spirit Crystal.

Under the baptism of the dragon-phoenix resonance, she not only completely absorbed the power of the Spirit King's Spirit Crystal.

He had accumulated a wealth of experience and finally unleashed his full potential, officially entering the early stage of the Heavenly Realm!

Bing Tianxiao, walking beside her, exuded an even more chilling aura.

With each step he took, the ground beneath his feet seemed to frost over.

That is the natural resonance between heaven and earth that arises when spiritual energy is condensed to its extreme.

Middle stage of Tongtian Realm!

This speed of promotion is simply unheard of.

"Looks like we've stumbled upon a good show."

Bing Tianxiao glanced at Mu Chen, who looked somewhat disheveled, and then looked towards the direction of Tai Ding Ling Academy.

If he remembered correctly, there was someone from a faction here that Luo Li disliked very much...

Take him down while you're at it!

A playful glint flashed in his deep blue eyes.

Although the pressure from the mid-stage Tongtian Realm cultivator was restrained, it still made all the students on the Heavenly Ranking feel a chill run down their spines.

"I heard someone wants to challenge our Northern Cang Spiritual Academy?"

Bing Tianxiao naturally took Luo Li's hand and led her through the crowd.

Amidst countless gazes of awe and reverence, they walked towards the center of the square.

"Since Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong are not here, I, Bing Tianxiao, will take on this 'exchange' task."

He turned to look at Luo Li, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Luo Li, would you like to test your current power?"

Luo Li shook her head slightly, her cool voice echoing in the room: "It's good that you're here, I'll be watching."

The students of Beicang were now in a frenzy.

"It's Bing Tianxiao! He's finally shown up!"

"That's right, judging from this, he has definitely entered the Heavenly Realm!"

"He was able to defeat Senior Zhou Qingshan when he was only at the half-step Heavenly Realm; his strength is probably even more terrifying now!"

"Wow, Luo Li has also entered the Heavenly Realm! What exactly did they go through?"

"..."

Looking at that arrogant white-haired youth, as proud as the sun.

The faces of the Tai Ding Ling Academy members, who had initially wanted to shout, instantly turned extremely ugly.

They could sense that the dangerous aura emanating from the boy before them far surpassed that of anyone they had encountered before.

At the very back of the Tai Ding Ling Academy students, a figure slowly stood up.

That person had an exceptionally handsome face.

On that face, a pair of blood-red eyes were particularly striking.

"Hehe, Luo Li... the next emperor of the Luo Shen Clan, I didn't expect you to actually be here..."
