Chapter 17 The Kun of the Northern Sea.
Agolden pillar of light traversed the endless ocean, descending upon Seagod Island and enveloping Poseidon.
Her aura visibly deepened and expanded.
Although her soul power level didn't increase by a specific number, the sense of refinement and power far surpassed what it had been before!
A left arm bone, radiating a deep blue light and with energy fluctuations far exceeding those of the soul bone Qian Renxue had previously obtained, appeared before her.
Simultaneously, a jade flute, entirely azure blue, carved with wave patterns, and radiating a gentle yet majestic aura, slowly fell into her hand.
The moment Poseidon grasped the Ocean Flute, information about this semi-divine artifact flooded her mind.
It could wield the power of the ocean, playing soothing or destructive melodies, containing powerful mental attacks.
At the same time, information about the vast ocean and its boundless divine techniques appeared in her mind.
Divine Technique: Boundless Ocean.
Feeling the immense improvement she had gained and the power of the semi-divine artifact, Poseidon's face showed no joy, but rather grew even more solemn.
She looked up at the sky, muttering to herself, "Such a reward for tenth place, what about those ahead..."
The seven guardians of the Sacred Pillars behind her were now completely silent.
Everyone was deeply shocked by this ranking and reward.
At the same time, they felt an unprecedented fear and curiosity about the unknown top nine.
"Boom!"
Golden light flowed across the sky.
Under the gaze of countless shocked, confused, and even fearful eyes, new words slowly condensed, like a brand engraved into everyone's heart:
[Martial Soul Ranking, Ninth Place: Kun of the Northern Sea]
[Holder: Zhuang Zhou (Beidou Academy)]
[Rating: Soul of an ancient sacred beast, roaming freely between heaven and earth, formless and intangible, capable of transforming into a Peng to soar through the nine heavens, or sinking into the abyss of the Northern Sea. Possesses the ability to purify all things and traverse the void, mysterious and unpredictable, close to the Dao.]
[Rewards: Soul Power level increased by three levels, all Soul Rings' age increased by ten thousand years, a 100,000-year divinely bestowed torso bone, talent domain: Dreamlike Freedom, divine ability: Kunpeng Speed.]
"The Kun of the Northern Sea? What kind of martial soul is that? Never heard of it before!"
"Zhuang Zhou? Beidou Academy? It's Beidou Academy again!"
"Purifying all things? Traversing the void? Is this really an ability a martial soul can possess?"
"Almost the Dao... this evaluation is too high!"
The entire Douluo Continent was once again plunged into a huge uproar.
If the previous Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Six-Winged Angel, and Sea God martial souls, while powerful, were at least within the realm of common understanding, then this "Kun of the Northern Sea" martial soul and its described abilities completely exceeded their cognitive boundaries!
Purifying all things?
What does this mean?
Can it even purify toxins, curses, and even... marks left by gods?
Traversing the void?
Isn't this even more terrifying than the most top-tier spatial soul skills?
Ignoring distance, ignoring obstacles, coming and going freely!
This is simply divine!
And all of this actually belongs to that mysterious Beidou Academy!
A holder named "Zhuang Zhou"!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi suddenly stood up from his seat, his face filled with disbelief.
"The Kun of the Northern Sea, purifying all things, traversing the void—just what kind of extraordinary people has this Beidou Academy recruited?!"
He originally thought his daughter Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was already astonishing enough.
But now, this ninth-ranked martial soul's described abilities are simply mythical.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong scratched his skull-like head and said in a muffled voice, "Old Chen, Fengzhi, this 'purifying all things'... if it's true, wouldn't it mean that even the Old Poisoner's deadly poison could be easily neutralized?
That's too monstrous!" Sword Douluo Chen Xin's expression was more solemn than ever before; he slowly stroked the Seven Kill Sword in his hand.
He said in a deep voice, "Fengzhi, it seems we need to significantly raise our assessment of Beidou Academy again."
"This Zhuang Zhou is probably no less threatening than a peak Douluo, or even... more terrifying. Because his abilities are too strange and difficult to guard against."
Ning Fengzhi nodded in deep agreement, his fear and curiosity about Beidou Academy reaching their peak.
He had a vague feeling.
The appearance of this academy might completely change the landscape of the entire continent.
Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong slammed her scepter heavily on the ground, making a dull thud.
Her phoenix eyes flashed with cold light, her killing intent almost tangible.
"Beidou Academy! Zhuang Zhou!"
She almost gritted her teeth as she uttered these two names.
"Purifying all things, traversing the void... Good, very good! If this ability cannot be used by the Spirit Hall, it must be completely destroyed!"
She instantly thought of many things.
Could purifying all things purify the evil thoughts eroded by the Rakshasa God Trial?
Could traversing the void mean that Beidou Academy could launch a surprise attack on the core of the Spirit Hall at any time?
Or easily escape her pursuit?
This uncontrollable power made her feel extremely uneasy and threatened.
"Pass down the order!"
Bibi Dong's voice was icy cold.
"Increase the investigation of Beidou Academy, focusing on this 'Zhuang Zhou'."
"I want to know all his information, his personality, weaknesses, and strength level! At any cost!"
A deep voice responded from the shadows.
Bibi Dong stared at the four characters "Beidou Academy" on the sky, a sense of crisis stronger than ever before.
This academy had transformed from a potential force worth recruiting into a major threat that had to be eliminated first!
Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, beneath the Lake of Life.
A colossal black dragon raised its head, gazing at the golden list in the sky, and spoke in human language, its voice tinged with surprise and doubt.
"The Kun of the Northern Sea? Purification? Space travel? My lord, this power doesn't seem to belong to the Douluo Continent..."
Ripples spread through the space, and a clear, cold, and majestic female voice rang out: "Interesting... It seems some unexpected guests have arrived on this continent. Di Tian, have your men keep an eye on Beidou Academy and Zhuang Zhou, but for now, avoid conflict with them."
"Yes, my lord."
The black dragon—the Beast God Di Tian—respectfully bowed its head.
Seagod Island.
Poseidon held the Ocean Flute, feeling the immense ocean power contained within it.
But when she saw the description of "The Kun of the Northern Sea," her heart still churned.
"Transcending the void, purifying," she murmured to herself.
"The Light of the Sea God also possesses purifying power, but its ability to traverse the void is beyond the ocean's reach."
"Beidou Academy... Zhuang Zhou, it seems the changes on the continent are far more dramatic than those on the ocean."
The seven guardians of the Sacred Pillars behind her exchanged bewildered glances, feeling their worldviews profoundly shaken.
Inside Beidou Academy.
Enveloped in a golden pillar of light was a young man lying atop a gigantic phantom of a Kunpeng, seemingly perpetually in a half-asleep, half-awake state.
