"Gulp..."
Beside him, Ice Empress swallowed with difficulty. The despondency and disappointment that had filled her emerald eyes were swept away, replaced by a fervor so intense it bordered on madness!
"A genius... a genius! An absolutely genius concept!"
Ice Empress was trembling with excitement. She suddenly leaped up, pulled Xue Bingchen tightly into her arms, and planted a loud kiss on his soft, fair cheek.
"Smack!"
"Hahaha! Little Bingchen, how exactly is your brain wired?! This is too monstrous! Too heaven-defying! Who knew Twin Martial Souls could be played like this?!"
Ice Empress hopped and skipped atop the snowy peak, acting like a little girl who had just received her favorite toy:
"If we really follow your plan, once you attach nine hundred-thousand-year soul rings to your second martial soul, your physical body will definitely ascend to godhood! Shattering the void with a single punch will be no dream! Hahahaha, This Empress retracts her previous words; your second martial soul is no trash soul—it is a ladder to godhood tailored specifically for you!"
Watching the nearly hysterical Ice Empress, Snow Empress took a deep breath of the frigid air of the Extreme North Ice Plains, struggling to calm the turbulent shock within her heart.
Her deep, ice-blue eyes regained a brilliant, dazzling luster.
The way she looked at Xue Bingchen was no longer just pure doting; it now held a trace of reverence and boundless expectation.
"Chen'er, you are right."
Snow Empress's voice returned to its usual coldness and majesty, yet her tone carried an unquestionable firmness:
"Your second martial soul is by no means ordinary. Since the heavens have bestowed upon you such a unique talent, then Mother and your Aunt Ice Empress will surely exhaust all the resources of the Far North to pave your path to the God Realm!"
The two empresses nodded solemnly.
The gloom that had originally stemmed from the second martial soul being a "physical body" vanished in an instant, replaced by infinite longing and fanaticism for the future.
"Alright, since the awakening is complete, the most exciting moment is next!"
Ice Empress rubbed her small hands together, unable to wait as she pulled the blue testing crystal ball—which she had "borrowed" from human society—out of her storage space, which was actually a special Ice Extreme God Crystal inside her body.
"Come, come, Little Bingchen, put your hand on it! Let This Empress see exactly how many levels of Innate Soul Power your monstrous physique can register!"
Snow Empress also composed herself, watching Xue Bingchen with gentle, expectant eyes.
Although they already had an inkling, now that the moment of truth had arrived, the two rulers of the Far North could not help but feel a bit nervous.
Xue Bingchen took a deep breath to steady his racing heart.
He reached out his small, fair hand and gently pressed it against the crystal-clear blue sphere.
"Hum—"
The moment Xue Bingchen's palm touched the crystal ball, he felt the vast energy within him belonging to the Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul find an outlet, surging into the crystal ball like a burst dam!
The next second.
"BOOM—!!!"
The previously dim blue crystal ball suddenly erupted with an incredibly blinding light from within!
The radiance was so intense that it was as if a miniature blue sun had been ignited atop the snowy peak!
The brilliant blue light instantly pierced through the swirling snow, illuminating the surrounding ice rocks for hundreds of meters in vivid detail, forcing even Ice Empress and Snow Empress to squint involuntarily.
The crystal ball shook violently, as if it might shatter at any moment from being unable to withstand such immense soul power!
"It's full! It's full! The light fills the entire crystal ball; this is undoubtedly Innate Full Soul Power!"
Ice Empress shrieked with excitement, her emerald eyes flashing with ecstatic joy under the blue glow.
"Whew—"
The two empresses let out a long sigh of relief simultaneously, their faces blooming with beautiful, proud smiles of relief.
Innate Full Soul Power!
Top-tier Twin Martial Souls!
Precocious intelligence of an adult!
Plus the full-force resource cultivation of the Far North!
This start was so smooth it was almost frightening!
If he couldn't become a god with this, then where was the justice in this Douluo Continent?!
"Too good! Too perfect!"
Ice Empress excitedly snatched the crystal ball, tossed it aside, and hung onto Xue Bingchen like a koala, rubbing her face against his soft white hair.
"Little Bingchen, you are truly the pride of the Far North! Auntie loves you to death!"
Watching this heartwarming scene, Snow Empress's beautiful face was filled with an unmelting tenderness.
She stepped forward, reached out her jade arms, and pulled both Ice Empress and Xue Bingchen into her embrace.
The family of three hugged tightly on the snowy peak, feeling each other's warmth.
After a long while, Ice Empress finally broke free from Snow Empress's arms.
Her emerald eyes darted around, and she suddenly slapped her thigh, shouting with excitement:
"Right! Since the martial soul is awakened and the Innate Full Soul Power is confirmed, can we now attach the first soul ring to Chen'er's Heavenly Snow Woman?!"
The Ice Empress stood with her hands on her hips, exuding the air of a big sister as she declared with heroic spirit:
"Snow Empress, how about I head into the depths of the Extreme North Core Zone right now and catch an Ice Jade Scorpion that has just reached a thousand years to serve as the first soul ring for Chen'er? A soul ring from my Ice Jade Scorpion clan will absolutely maximize the potential of Chen'er's Ultimate Ice attribute!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Snow Empress, who had been immersed in the warm atmosphere, saw her expression change instantly.
"Nonsense!"
The Snow Empress's cold and majestic voice shattered the Ice Empress's fantasy in an instant.
She furrowed her delicate brows, shot the Ice Empress an annoyed glare, and spoke in a stern tone:
"Bing'er, have you lost your mind from excitement? Although Chen'er has a special constitution, he is ultimately a human! I have read in books written by humans that the limit for a human's first soul ring is four hundred and twenty-three years! Are you trying to make Chen'er explode and die by bringing him a thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion?!"
Hearing the Snow Empress's reprimand, the Ice Empress remained completely unbothered.
She haughtily lifted her exquisite chin and retorted:
"That is the limit for ordinary humans! Can our Chen'er be compared to those common mortals? He has been drinking Millennium Ice Marrow like water for the past three years! Besides, don't forget, he just awakened that 'Body Martial Soul' of his; his physical strength is absolutely far beyond that of a normal person. How could a mere four-hundred-year soul ring be worthy of our young master of the Extreme North? It has to be at least a thousand years to start!"
"You..."
The Snow Empress was left momentarily speechless, infuriated by the Ice Empress's sophistry.
Meanwhile, Xue Bingchen was stunned!
Four hundred and twenty-three years? Why did that sound so familiar?
Could the Snow Empress have been deceived by Yu Xiaogang's soul ring theory?
