"To train oneself to the extreme, and then reach the pinnacle?"
Bai Luo discovered that special skills were the greatest benefits he had gained by crossing countless worlds, and they were also his capital for challenging the Cardinal World and other worlds.
"What exactly are these?"
"So, so strong!"
The Ice Empress was stunned by the attribute panel that appeared before her eyes; she had never imagined that becoming someone else's dependent would bring such a massive improvement.
Arrogance was relative, and so was freedom.
In the world of Soul Beasts, the strong were respected, and the fittest survived.
In the original work, the Ice Empress, in order to survive, accepted the persuasion of the Heavenly Dream Iceworm and became Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul.
The current Ice Empress was also facing a heavenly tribulation, after which she would perish.
In such a time, in order to survive, just becoming someone else's dependent wasn't such a big deal, was it?
In the end of Douluo 2, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, to put it bluntly, just became divine beasts by Huo Yuhao's side.
It seemed good, but in reality, they were still pets of a human god, their lives not their own.
"Sorry, I misunderstood you, Master."
The Ice Empress called him Master without any reservation.
If it were known that becoming Bai Luo's dependent could bring such earth-shattering changes, who knows how many Soul Beasts in the entire Douluo World would break their heads for it.
The Ice Empress paid the price of freedom.
But what was this small price compared to a bright future and continued survival?
The only difference was whether one could follow the right Master.
However, looking at it now, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress were undoubtedly lucky; they met a generous and humane Master.
"Master?"
The Snow Empress, who was beside them, nodded. She also saw her attribute panel: "It is indeed improper to directly call your Lord by name. From now on, I will also call you Master."
"Uh, actually, there's no need…"
Bai Luo originally wanted the two women to just call him Bai Luo, but seeing their resolute attitude, he said nothing more.
Dependents and Master.
This was originally a transaction.
However, the Ice Empress and Snow Empress had truly won big.
Perhaps some might think that Bai Luo also benefited.
But in the eyes of the Ice Empress and Snow Empress, Bai Luo had countless choices, while they only had this one chance to follow Bai Luo.
They were fortunate, far more fortunate than other Soul Beasts on the Douluo World.
"From now on, please allow me and Bingbing to serve by your side to repay your life-saving grace~."
"Mhm, mhm, mhm!"
The Ice Empress nodded obediently. Since her elder sister said so, as the younger sister, she naturally just had to follow suit.
"Alright."
Bai Luo looked at the Snow Empress and asked, "Snow Empress, what do you think?"
"Very strong!"
A smile, like melting winter snow, appeared on the Snow Empress's cold and beautiful face: "Perhaps, now, the strongest under Master's command is me."

"86000 magic essence."
"Sword Saint and Nature, two Unique Skills."
"Also possesses the Exclusive Skill 'Twin Martial Souls,' just with a different name."
This Exclusive Skill, with the Snow Empress as the lead, fusing the Ice Empress's power, would allow her to break through a major realm, entering the 'Empress of the Frigid Wilds' state.
However, this transformation would greatly consume the Snow Empress's magic power and could not last long, only serving as a burst at critical moments.
Furthermore, when Bai Luo performed Martial Soul Avatar, Bai Luo could also enter this state.
To be precise, these two Exclusive Skills were the same.
With the Snow Empress as the main, transforming into the Empress of the Frigid Wilds.
With the Ice Empress as the main, unleashing Eternal Night Blazing Sun.
When Bai Luo used it, he would first transform, and his title would change from Empress to Frigid Wilds Overlord, then he would gain the qualification to unleash Eternal Night Blazing Sun, the ultimate destruction.
"Whether it's the Snow Empress or the Ice Empress, their fused power has flaws."
"Only by fusing with me can this Exclusive Skill's power be fully displayed."
One must know that after Martial Soul Avatar, the magic essence of the three would be stacked together.
After the magic essence was stacked, besides being unable to undergo qualitative change, it was simply the beauty of sheer numbers.
Just the three of them now, once they performed Martial Soul Avatar, could raise their magic essence to over 200,000.
This was already the level of a Demon Lord Seed.
In other words, Bai Luo truly possessed the strength to contend with a Demon Lord Seed!
"Snow Empress, your Unique Skill, Sword Saint..."
Bai Luo: "You also know swordsmanship?"
"More than just swordsmanship!"
Before the Snow Empress could speak, the Ice Empress, who was a natural Snow Empress fangirl, excitedly said, "The Snow Empress is peerless in both sword and palm, she is the pride of our Northern Icefield!"
"Mhm."
The Snow Empress did not humble herself at all, nodding naturally, indicating that it was indeed as the Ice Empress said.
Soul Masters in the Douluo World used Soul Skills, and Soul Beasts were pretty much the same, having only a few moves.
However, the Snow Empress, starting from herself, created the Snow Empress's Three Absolutes.
Emperor Sword · Ice Extreme Peerless, Emperor Palm · Great Cold Snowless (Qian Qian's), Emperor Cold Heaven · Snow Dance Blazing Sun.
The three were respectively a sword technique, a palm technique, and a domain.
A Sword Saint in the Cardinal World was not just skilled in swordsmanship; it included swordsmanship, saber techniques, spear techniques, and even close-quarters combat, and so on.
The Unique Skill Sword Saint was generally bestowed upon beings who had reached the pinnacle in martial arts and skills.
The Snow Empress had lived for 700,000 years.
This age, of course, had a lot of exaggeration.
But time did not change; the Snow Empress had indeed lived for so long and used such a long time to elevate her skills to the extreme.
Imagine if a powerhouse who had meticulously studied skills for 700,000 years came to the Cardinal World.
According to the world's voice's judgment, who could compete with her for the title of 'Sword Saint'?
The answer was obvious: no one!
Thus, the Snow Empress effortlessly claimed this title and obtained the Unique Skill [Sword Saint].
