Proud Snow Lingering Frost, Ice Empress: Riding Me Again?

"Innate Full Soul Power."

Snow Empress and Ice Empress both smiled faintly, as though they had expected it.

Ice Empress moved close to Xue Nianbing, who was only slightly shorter than her, and asked with a smile, "Nianbing, what are your two awakened Martial Souls called?"

"Sister Bing, I don't know either."

"But I can name them myself."

Xue Nianbing smiled.

In the history of Douluo Continent, there had never been any record of Twin Martial Souls as special as his, nor any record of either of his two Martial Souls.

Therefore, he was the first of his kind and had the right to name his own Martial Souls.

"You've named them already? What are they called?" Ice Empress asked curiously.

"Frosty Ice Spear and Proud Snow Cold Bow."

With a smile, Xue Nianbing told the two of them the names he had given his Martial Souls.

"Lingering Frost, Proud Snow... not bad."

Snow Empress nodded, then changed the subject. "Nianbing, your Twin Martial Souls may both seem to be Extreme Ice, but they are ultimately different."

"The Frosty Ice Spear resembles Bing'er's Extreme Ice coldness."

"And the Proud Snow Cold Bow resembles my Extreme Ice and Snow."

"So, from now on, Bing'er and I will train you even more strictly. You need to be prepared, understand?"

At those words—

Xue Nianbing looked at Snow Empress and carefully said, "Sister Xue, I'm not ready yet."

"But Bing'er and I are already ready."

Snow Empress smiled lightly, her tone faint and lingering.

Ice Empress nodded along from the side and said proudly, "Little Nianbing, when it comes to using ice, if Snow Empress and I claim second place on the entire continent, no one would dare claim first."

"Even Beast God Ditian of the Star Dou Great Forest would have to concede defeat."

"For the two of us to teach you personally is a privilege ordinary people could never have. So you'd better learn properly, or I'll sting you again."

As she spoke, Ice Empress moved her Emerald Scorpion Tail and lightly poked Xue Nianbing.

"Alright."

Xue Nianbing smiled and nodded.

Whether or not the Ice and Snow Emperors were the strongest ice users on Douluo Continent aside, their understanding of ice was unquestionably among the best.

Being able to learn the way of ice from them was an immense stroke of fortune.

"Nianbing, you have Twin Martial Souls, and both are Extreme Ice. For now, you should cultivate only one Martial Soul. There's no need to rush with the other."

"Which one will you choose—the Frosty Ice Spear or the Proud Snow Cold Bow?"

Snow Empress asked.

Hearing that, Xue Nianbing pondered for a moment before saying, "Sister Xue, I've decided to cultivate the Frosty Ice Spear first."

"Mm."

Snow Empress nodded without asking why, then changed the subject. "Bing'er and I will first take you to find a suitable Soul Ring. Your physical constitution has been extraordinary since childhood, and your strength rivals that of a Century-Level Soul Beast."

"Bing'er and I estimate that, with your current physique, absorbing a Soul Ring of around eight hundred years shouldn't be a problem at all."

As a Fierce Beast of nearly seven hundred thousand years, it was not difficult for her to gauge Xue Nianbing's rough physical capabilities.

The only thing she could not see through was Xue Nianbing's spiritual power. Whenever she tried to probe it, a mysterious force obstructed her.

"I'll listen to you two sisters."

Xue Nianbing smiled, without the slightest objection.

He was still just a nobody. With the Ice and Snow Emperors guiding him along the path of cultivation, all he needed to do was listen obediently. There was no need for too many unrealistic ideas.

"Bing'er, take Nianbing with you."

"Ah? He's riding me again?"

"I can carry him instead."

"No, let him ride me."

How could Ice Empress agree to that? Her Emerald Scorpion Tail curled around Xue Nianbing and placed him on her back before she set off in a certain direction.

Seeing this—

Xue Nianbing could not help but laugh. He found Ice Empress's jealous behavior rather amusing.

He had only just undergone Martial Soul Awakening, yet he had somehow become the love rival of the Fierce Beast Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion?

What had he done to deserve that?

"What's with that expression, brat? Are you coveting Snow Empress?"

"I'm telling you, Snow Empress is mine."

Ice Empress immediately noticed the change in Xue Nianbing's expression and warned him in a fierce but cute voice.

"Sister Bing, you're overthinking it." Xue Nianbing's mouth twitched slightly as he reminded her, "I can't do anything right now."

"Hmph. It'd better be that way."

Ice Empress let out a delicate snort and sped up.

Xue Nianbing's body suddenly tilted backward. Fortunately, he grabbed Ice Empress's Scorpion Tail in time, keeping himself from being flung off and rolling away.

Ice Empress noticed as well, but she deliberately refused to slow down, wanting to tease Xue Nianbing.

Xue Nianbing felt helpless. Although Ice Empress was a Fierce Beast nearing four hundred thousand years old, she was immature at heart, no different from an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl.

"You can't do anything now, but in a few more years, there'll be plenty you can do."

A soft chuckle suddenly sounded beside his ear. It was Snow Empress's voice transmission.

Xue Nianbing subconsciously turned his head and met those sky-blue eyes, along with an incomparably beautiful face close at hand.

Snow Empress was lazily flying alongside him, watching him with great interest.

Xue Nianbing: "..."

If Ice Empress was an immature young girl, then Snow Empress was a mature beauty—and the kind who loved making dirty jokes.

Though Snow Empress looked pure and enchanting, her mind was anything but innocent.

Xue Nianbing had experienced that firsthand.

Over the past six years, he had been seen naked and teased by her so many times that he could not count them on both hands.

Seeing that Xue Nianbing remained silent, Snow Empress continued teasing him with a soft laugh. "What, are you shy now?"

Just as Xue Nianbing understood Snow Empress, Snow Empress also understood Xue Nianbing.

Snow Empress knew that though Xue Nianbing appeared young, his mind was not immature in the slightest. At the very least, Bing'er was completely outmatched before him.

That was precisely why she liked teasing him. She found it interesting.

"Little Nianbing, why aren't you saying anything?"

Snow Empress smiled and extended her snow-white, delicate hand, pinching Xue Nianbing's cheek.

"Sister Xue, just wait a few more years if you dare." Xue Nianbing immediately issued a bold threat.

Snow Empress froze briefly at his words, but quickly recovered and smiled faintly. "Alright, big sister will wait for you~"

"I—"

Just as Xue Nianbing was about to say something, Ice Empress's annoyed voice rang out. "Fine, Nianbing, you really are coveting Snow Empress."

As she spoke, Ice Empress burst forward once more.

Xue Nianbing clutched Ice Empress's Scorpion Tail tightly with both hands, while his body swayed and dangled through the air in a somewhat comical sight.

What was most infuriating was that Snow Empress, who loved watching a spectacle, was actually observing from the side with great interest, chuckling softly from time to time.

Xue Nianbing got angry, then got angry some more.

Fortunately, his physical constitution was excellent, so he could hold on for a while longer.

At the speed of Snow Empress and Ice Empress, reaching the Extreme North Ice Plains would only take a moment. He just had to endure it.

"Nianbing, what requirements do you have for your Soul Skill? Or rather, what direction do you want to take?" Snow Empress asked.

Xue Nianbing pondered for a moment. "Whether it's the Frosty Ice Spear or the Proud Snow Cold Bow, both Martial Souls possess tremendous destructive power. The Power Attack System suits me best."

"But it can't be purely power-focused. It needs some agility as well, so I plan to walk a path combining the power attack and agility attack systems."

His two Martial Souls could not rely on strength alone. They also needed speed.
