First Soul Skill: Dance of Snow!

But Snow Empress quickly understood the reason.

She stepped forward, gently ruffled Xue Bingchen's white hair, and said with a smile:

"That was only natural. Over the past three years, your Aunt Ice Empress fed you so many Millennium Snow Lotuses and Millennium Ice Marrows. All that tremendous medicinal power had actually been accumulating inside your body.

"Now that you had awakened the Heavenly Snow Woman martial soul of Ultimate Ice and absorbed a pure Polar Ice Spirit soul ring, it was like unlocking a lock and completely releasing the foundation that had built up within you."

Xue Bingchen suddenly understood.

He lowered his head to look at his tiny, fair hands, which contained terrifying power, and an unprecedented heroic spirit surged within him.

With the heaven-defying foundation laid by the countless heavenly treasures of the Far North, the support of twin top-tier martial souls, and the terrifying starting point of a thousand-year first soul ring...

Xue Bingchen had a powerful premonition.

From this day onward, his cultivation speed would absolutely soar like a rocket, advancing by leaps and bounds every day!

"Little Bingchen, hurry, hurry, hurry! Stop striking poses over there!"

Just as Xue Bingchen was grandly imagining the future, Ice Empress's curious and impatient voice instantly pulled him back to reality.

Ice Empress leaned close like a curious child, her bright emerald eyes fixed on the deep purple soul ring behind Xue Bingchen. Excitedly rubbing her hands together, she said:

"Quick, tell Auntie, what is your first soul skill? Human Soul Masters gain soul skills after absorbing soul rings, and the strength of those skills is closely tied to the age of the soul ring. Your first soul ring is a fourteen-hundred-year Polar Ice Spirit, so the skill must be pretty strong, right? Come on, show Auntie!"

At Ice Empress's urging, Xue Bingchen's previously arrogant and confident expression instantly froze.

A rare trace of embarrassment flashed through his alternating gold and red eyes, and his previously straight back hunched slightly.

He raised a fair little hand and awkwardly scratched his silky white hair before stammering:

"Uh... well... Aunt Ice Empress, how about... how about we forget it?"

"Forget it? How could we forget it!"

Ice Empress was immediately displeased. With her hands on her hips, she said indignantly:

"You little brat, did you awaken some amazing soul skill and want to keep it hidden? You will not even let Auntie see it? Hurry up, stop dragging your feet!"

Snow Empress, standing nearby, also noticed something strange about Xue Bingchen.

Her beautiful ice-blue eyes blinked slightly as she looked at him and asked gently:

"Chen'er, what is wrong? Is there something improper about your first soul skill? Or... does it have some side effect on your body?"

"No, no, no, Mom, there are no side effects. This soul skill... is actually very strong."

Xue Bingchen waved his hands repeatedly. Seeing the concerned yet curious gazes of the two Empresses, he knew there was no escaping it today.

He took a deep breath as though making some enormous decision. His delicate little face flushed crimson before he finally told them the truth:

"Mom, Aunt Ice Empress, my first soul skill is called... 'Dance of Snow.'"

"Dance of Snow?"

Ice Empress paused, then her eyes lit up.

"That sounds elegant! What does it do?"

Xue Bingchen gritted his teeth and forced himself to say it.

"The effect is... after the dance ends, it not only gives me a fifty percent increase to all attributes, but also provides allies within range who watched the dance with a thirty percent increase to all attributes!"

"Gasp—!"

Upon hearing the effect, Ice Empress and Snow Empress both sucked in a sharp breath!

A fifty percent increase to all of his own attributes!

A thirty percent increase to all attributes for a group!

How was that merely not weak? It was absurdly powerful!

This was only his first soul skill!

Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, hailed as the continent's number one support-type martial soul, could only provide a ten percent boost to a single person's attributes with its first soul skill!

Xue Bingchen's first soul skill not only enhanced himself, but also came with an incredibly terrifying group support effect. It was practically a divine skill!

"Oh my god! Little Bingchen, your soul skill is completely insane!"

Ice Empress excitedly grabbed Xue Bingchen by the shoulders.

"Then why are you still looking so troubled? What is there to be embarrassed about?"

Snow Empress looked at Xue Bingchen's little face, so red it seemed ready to drip blood. With her perceptive nature, she seemed to have guessed something. A strange smile appeared on her beautiful face as she softly asked:

"Chen'er, the reason you do not want to use it is because... this soul skill requires you to dance, does it not?"

Xue Bingchen closed his eyes in despair and nodded with extreme difficulty.

That was right. This was the part he found hardest to say!

This "Dance of Snow" was not some random dance involving a little hip-swaying. It was... Snow Empress's Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman!

He, Xue Bingchen, was a transmigrator with an adult soul, a real man who aspired to punch Spirit Hall, kick Shrek, and become a saint through his physical body!

Yet his first soul skill was... dancing to buff himself?!

And the dance was the exceptionally graceful, exceptionally feminine Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman!

If he went to the human world in the future and fought someone, everyone else would shout, "First Soul Skill, White Tiger Protection Barrier!" before charging forward with overwhelming dominance.

But what about him?

He would have to first sweetly call out, "First Soul Skill, Dance of Snow!" then sway his waist and perform an elegant dance in full view of everyone. Only after finishing the dance could he go beat someone up?

The image was too beautiful. Xue Bingchen simply did not dare to look!

If word got out, would he even have any face left as the King of the Far North?!

"Pfft—"

Seeing Xue Bingchen's utterly lifeless expression, Ice Empress finally could not hold it in any longer. She clutched her stomach and burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha! Dancing? Little Bingchen, your first soul skill is actually dancing?! Oh my, I am dying of laughter! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Dance once for Auntie to see! Auntie promises not to laugh at you, hahahaha!"

Ice Empress laughed so hard that she rocked back and forth while frantically egging him on.

Although Snow Empress did not laugh as wildly as Ice Empress, her ice-blue eyes were also filled with amusement. Her lips curved into a breathtaking smile as she gently encouraged him:

"Chen'er, since it is your soul skill, show us. Mom is also very curious what your Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman will look like."

Faced with the "coercion and temptation" of the two Rulers of the Far North, Xue Bingchen knew he was completely doomed today.

"Fine, I will dance! As long as I am not embarrassed, then everyone else will be!"

Xue Bingchen frantically steeled himself in his heart.

He took a deep breath, suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze became incomparably resolute, though his face was still red.

"First Soul Skill, Dance of Snow!"
