Snow Empress Teaches Dancing Hand-in-Hand

"First Soul Skill, Dance of Snow!"

Accompanied by a low, slightly embarrassed shout, Xue Bingchen summoned his Martial Soul.

"Hum--"

The lifelike silhouette of the Heavenly Snow Woman reappeared behind him, and a deep purple soul ring rose from beneath his feet, pulsing rhythmically.

Immediately following, under the expectant gaze of the Ice Empress and the smiling watch of the Snow Empress, Xue Bingchen... moved.

He tried hard to recall the breathtaking scene of the Snow Empress dancing amidst the wind and snow, attempting to imitate her movements.

He first stiffly raised his left hand, then twisted his waist in an extremely unnatural manner, and finally took a small step forward with his right foot, trying to strike a graceful starting pose.

However...

The ideal was plump, but reality was skeletal.

The Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman performed by the Snow Empress was a beautiful dance containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, light and ethereal to the extreme.

And Xue Bingchen?

Although his six-year-old body was formidable, he had absolutely no foundation in dance, not to mention that he felt incredibly embarrassed, making him unable to let go of his movements at all.

Consequently, the scene presented before the two Empresses of Ice and Snow could simply be described as... too ghastly to look at.

One could see Xue Bingchen's small body twisting stiffly on the ice rock; apart from the first few beats that barely matched the Snow Empress's dance, the subsequent movements were nothing but a chaotic mess!

At one moment he waved his arms like a rusted puppet, and at the next, he spun around as clumsily as a penguin, even nearly tripping over his own feet and falling flat on his face.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

The Ice Empress could no longer hold it in; she rolled on the ice rock, laughing until tears streamed down her face.

"Oh, I can't take it... Little Chen'er, what are you dancing? Are you dancing or having a seizure? Hahaha! This is a completely pathetic imitation of Xue'er's beautiful dance! You're killing me!"

Even the usually cold and dignified Snow Empress could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her fragrant shoulders trembling slightly.

"Chen'er, your movements... are indeed a bit stiff."

The Snow Empress suppressed her laughter and encouraged him softly:

"But it doesn't matter; it's inevitable to be a bit rusty the first time you use it. Continue, finish the dance."

Hearing the Snow Empress's encouragement, Xue Bingchen gritted his teeth and, braving the Ice Empress's unbridled mockery, steeled himself to dance this incredibly shameful "Dance of Snow" to the end.

"Hoo--"

When the final, extremely awkward finishing move was completed, Xue Bingchen let out a long breath, feeling as if he had gone through a battle even more difficult than absorbing a thousand-year soul ring.

However, the moment the dance ended!

"Hum!"

An extremely strange ice-blue light erupted from the purple soul ring at Xue Bingchen's feet, instantly enveloping his entire body!

Following that, this light transformed into two ripples that spread rapidly, covering the Ice Empress and the Snow Empress who were standing not far away.

"This feeling..."

Xue Bingchen clenched his fists tightly, a brilliant, piercing light erupting in his eyes!

He could clearly feel that under the amplification of the "Dance of Snow," the circulation speed of the soul power within his body had instantly surged by half!

Not only that, but his strength, speed, defense, and even his spiritual power had all received a terrifying fifty-percent all-around boost at this very moment!

He now had the illusion that even if a ten-thousand-year soul beast stood before him, he could blast it away with a single punch!

Too strong! This amplification effect is simply heaven-defying! Xue Bingchen rejoiced in his heart.

He suddenly realized that although this soul skill was shameful, it had an incredibly terrifying hidden use!

If, before I swallow or absorb higher-year soul rings in the future, I dance the 'Dance of Snow' to give myself this fifty-percent all-around boost... wouldn't my physical limit for bearing the pressure increase significantly?!

Thinking of this, Xue Bingchen's breathing became rapid. This was a divine skill tailor-made for his "Body Martial Soul"!

At the same time, the two Empresses of Ice and Snow, enveloped by the light, also keenly sensed the changes in their bodies.

"Eh? This amplification..."

The Ice Empress stopped rolling and climbed up from the ground, feeling the minute change within her body with some surprise.

The Snow Empress also closed her beautiful eyes slightly, sensing it carefully, before opening them and saying with a smile:

"There is indeed an amplification effect. However, Chen'er's soul power is only at level fifteen, and the gap in cultivation between us is simply too vast. Therefore, the thirty-percent amplification applied to us is greatly weakened, leaving only a tiny bit, which can even be considered negligible."

"However..."

The Snow Empress changed the subject, her gaze toward Xue Bingchen filled with expectation:

"The potential of this soul skill is terrifying. Little Chen'er, when you reach the Soul Saint or even the Soul Douluo level in the future, this thirty-percent all-around amplification will definitely have a significant effect on us! By then, you will be the most powerful support in the Far North!"

"Hehe, that goes without saying!" Xue Bingchen lifted his chin proudly, the previous sense of shame instantly diluted by this powerful effect.

"But..."

The Snow Empress suddenly retracted her smile, a look of extreme seriousness appearing on her beautiful face.

She walked toward Xue Bingchen with elegant steps and looked down at him.

"Chen'er, while the effects of your 'Dance of Snow' are powerful, what you just performed... was truly unsightly."

The Snow Empress pointed out Xue Bingchen's sore spot without mercy, her tone carrying a hint of unquestionable severity:

"The Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman is my supreme art; how could you dance it into such a state? From today on, Mother will personally guide and train you!"

"Huh?!" Xue Bingchen was instantly dumbfounded.

"What are you 'huh'-ing about?"

The Snow Empress extended a jade finger and tapped Xue Bingchen's forehead lightly, admonishing him with earnest concern:

"Chen'er, do not think this is merely an ordinary dance. Within this Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman lies my complete comprehension of the laws of Ultimate Ice. If you can truly grasp the core of this dance and achieve a harmony of form and spirit, then you will not be far from mastering my Three Ultimates of the Snow Empress!"

Upon hearing the four words "Three Ultimates of the Snow Empress," Xue Bingchen's eyes lit up instantly!

Those were the supreme arts with which the Snow Empress traversed the Far North and shook the continent!

Of this, Xue Bingchen had no doubt.

Because he clearly remembered that three years ago, it was precisely because he first saw the Snow Empress dancing amidst the wind and snow, and was moved by the profound trajectories of the Emperor Sword and Emperor Palm contained within that dance, that he broke through the veil of his prenatal ignorance and recovered the memories of his past life ahead of time!

"Alright! Mother, I will learn! I will definitely learn it well!"

Xue Bingchen nodded heavily, the sense of shame in his eyes completely swept away, replaced by an extreme thirst for power.

As long as he could become stronger, as long as he could learn the Three Ultimates of the Snow Empress, never mind dancing—even if he were asked to wear women's clothing... er, perhaps he should skip that part.
