Snow Empress Teaches Him to Dance Step by Step

"First Soul Skill, Dance of Snow!"

With a slightly embarrassed low shout, Xue Bingchen summoned his martial soul.

"Bzz—"

The lifelike figure of the Heavenly Snow Woman appeared behind him once more, while a deep purple soul ring rose from beneath his feet and pulsed up and down.

Then, beneath Ice Empress's expectant gaze and Snow Empress's smiling watch, Xue Bingchen... moved.

He tried his best to recall the breathtaking sight of 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. Next, he took a small step forward with his right foot, trying to strike an elegant opening pose.

However...

Ideals were plump, but reality was skeletal.

Snow Empress's Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman was an exquisitely beautiful dance that contained the profound truths of heaven and earth, graceful and ethereal to the utmost degree.

But Xue Bingchen?

Though his six-year-old body was powerful, he had absolutely no foundation in dancing. On top of that, he felt incredibly embarrassed, leaving him completely unable to loosen up.

Thus, the scene presented before the two ice empresses was simply... too horrible to look at.

Xue Bingchen's tiny body twisted stiffly atop the ice rock. Aside from the first few beats, which barely matched Snow Empress's Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman, the rest of his movements were utter chaos!

One moment, he flailed his arms like a rusty puppet; the next, he spun in circles clumsily like a penguin. At one point, he even nearly tripped over his own feet and fell flat on his face.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

Ice Empress could no longer hold it in. She directly rolled around on the ice rock with laughter, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Oh, I can't... Little Bingchen, what kind of dancing is that? Are you dancing, or having a spasm? Hahaha! This is a terrible imitation of Xue'er's beautiful dance! I'm dying of laughter!"

Even Snow Empress, who was usually cold and dignified, could not help covering her mouth and chuckling, her fragrant shoulders trembling slightly.

"Chen'er, your movements... are indeed rather stiff."

Snow Empress suppressed her laughter and gently encouraged him:

"But it's all right. It's only your first time using it, so it's natural to be unfamiliar with it. Continue. Finish the dance."

Hearing Snow Empress's encouragement, Xue Bingchen gritted his teeth. Enduring Ice Empress's unrestrained laughter, he forced himself to finish the incredibly embarrassing Dance of Snow.

"Huu—"

When he completed the final, extremely awkward closing movement, Xue Bingchen let out a long breath of stale air. He felt as though he had gone through a battle even harder than absorbing a thousand-year soul ring.

However, at the very instant the dance ended!

"Bzz!"

An extraordinarily strange icy-blue radiance burst from the purple soul ring beneath Xue Bingchen's feet, instantly enveloping his entire body!

Immediately afterward, the light transformed into two ripples that rapidly spread outward, enveloping Ice Empress and Snow Empress, who stood not far away, as well.

"This feeling..."

Xue Bingchen suddenly clenched his fists, an incomparably dazzling light erupting in his eyes!

He could clearly feel that under the enhancement of Dance of Snow, the speed at which soul power circulated through his body had instantly increased by half!

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

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

Too strong! This enhancement effect is simply heaven-defying! Xue Bingchen rejoiced wildly inwardly.

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

If, before devouring or absorbing soul rings of even higher ages in the future, I first dance Dance of Snow to give myself this fifty-percent all-around boost... wouldn't my body's endurance limit increase dramatically as well?!

At that thought, Xue Bingchen's breathing quickened. This was practically a divine skill tailor-made for his Body Martial Soul!

At the same time, the two ice empresses enveloped by the light also keenly noticed the changes in their bodies.

"Hm? This enhancement..."

Ice Empress stopped rolling around and climbed to her feet, somewhat surprised as she sensed the minuscule changes within her body.

Snow Empress also lightly closed her beautiful eyes and carefully sensed it for a moment. Then she opened them and said with a smile:

"There is indeed an enhancement effect. However, Chen'er's soul power is only level fifteen right now, and the gap between his cultivation and ours is simply too great. Therefore, this thirty-percent enhancement is greatly weakened when applied to us. There is only the slightest effect, practically negligible."

"However..."

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

"The potential of this soul skill is extremely frightening. Little Bingchen, when you cultivate to the Soul Saint, or even Spirit Douluo level in the future, this thirty-percent all-around enhancement will definitely have an extremely significant effect on us! By then, you will be the strongest support in the Far North!"

"Hehe, of course!" Xue Bingchen proudly lifted his chin. The powerful effect instantly washed away much of his earlier embarrassment.

"However..."

Snow Empress suddenly withdrew her smile, an extremely stern expression appearing on her peerlessly beautiful face.

She walked gracefully over to Xue Bingchen and looked down at him.

"Chen'er, although the effect of your Dance of Snow is powerful, what you just danced... was truly too ugly."

Snow Empress mercilessly pointed out Xue Bingchen's sore spot, her tone carrying a trace 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 onward, Mother will personally guide and train you!"

"Huh?!" Xue Bingchen was instantly dumbfounded.

"What do you mean, 'huh'?"

Snow Empress extended a jade-like finger and lightly tapped Xue Bingchen's forehead, earnestly instructing him:

"Chen'er, don't think this is merely an ordinary dance. The Dance of the Heavenly Snow Woman contains all of my insights into the Law of Ultimate Ice. If you can truly comprehend the heart of this dance and achieve unity of form and spirit, then you will not be far from comprehending Mother's Three Ultimates of the Snow Empress!"

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

Those were Snow Empress's supreme arts, with which she had dominated the Far North and shaken the entire continent!

Xue Bingchen believed this without the slightest doubt.

He clearly remembered that three years ago, when he first saw Snow Empress dancing amid the wind and snow, he had been moved by the wondrous trajectories of the Emperor Sword and Emperor Palm contained within that dance. That was how he had broken through the mystery of the womb and recovered the memories of his previous life ahead of time!

"Okay! Mother, I'll learn! I'll definitely learn properly!"

Xue Bingchen nodded heavily. The embarrassment in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by an extreme thirst for strength.

As long as he could grow stronger, as long as he could learn the Three Ultimates of the Snow Empress, never mind dancing—even if he had to wear women's clothing... uh, better not.
