Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 17 The Kun of the Northern Sea
A golden beam of light crossed the endless ocean, descended upon Poseidon Island, and enveloped Poseidon.

The aura emanating from her body became increasingly profound and vast at a visible speed.

Although there is no specific numerical increase in soul power level.

But the sense of conciseness and grandeur far surpasses that of the past!

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.

At the same time, a jade flute, entirely blue and carved with wave patterns, exuding a gentle yet majestic aura, slowly fell into her hand.

The moment Poseidon grasped the Ocean Flute.

Information about this semi-divine artifact flooded my mind.

It can harness the power of the ocean to play soothing or destructive melodies, containing powerful mental attacks.

At the same time, information about the vast ocean and endless divine techniques appeared in his mind.

Divine Skill: Boundless Ocean.

Despite feeling the immense improvement she had gained and the power of the demigod artifact, Poseidon's face showed no joy, but rather a deeper solemnity.

She looked up at the sky and murmured to herself, "If tenth place gets such a reward, what about those ahead..."

The seven guardians of the sacred pillars behind her were now completely silent.

Everyone was deeply impressed by the ranking and the reward.

At the same time, they felt an unprecedented fear and curiosity about the unknown top nine.

"boom!"

Golden light swirled above the sky.

Under the gaze of countless shocked, bewildered, and even fearful eyes, the new handwriting slowly coalesced, etching itself into the hearts of everyone like a brand:

[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 roc soaring 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 unfathomable, approaching the Dao.]

[Rewards: Soul Power level increased by three levels, all Soul Rings' age increased by ten thousand years, a one hundred thousand-year divinely bestowed torso bone, the talent domain "Dreamlike Freedom," and the divine ability "Kunpeng Speed."]

"The Kun of the Northern Sea? What kind of martial spirit is that? I've never heard of it before!"

"Zhuang Zhou? Beidou Academy? It's Beidou Academy again!"

"Purify all things? Traverse the void? Are these really abilities that a martial soul can possess?"

"It's almost like the Tao. That's too high a praise!"

The entire Douluo Continent was once again plunged into a huge uproar.

While the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Six-Winged Angel, and the Sea God Martial Soul were powerful, they were at least within the realm of common understanding.

Then the "Northern Sea Kun" martial spirit and its described abilities are completely beyond their cognitive boundaries!
Purify all things?
what does this mean?
Can it even purify toxins, curses, or even marks left by deities?
Traversing the void?

Isn't this even more terrifying than the most powerful spatial soul skill?
Ignore distance, ignore obstacles, come and go as you please!

This is simply amazing!

And all of this actually belongs to that mysterious Beidou Academy!
A holder named "Zhuang Zhou"!
……

Qibao Glazed Sect.

Ning Fengzhi suddenly stood up from his seat, his face filled with disbelief.

"The Kun of the Northern Sea purifies all things and traverses the void. Just what extraordinary individuals has the Beidou Academy gathered?!"

He originally thought that his daughter Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was already amazing enough.

But the abilities described for this ninth-ranked martial spirit are simply mythical.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong scratched his skull-like head and said in a muffled voice, "Old Chen, Feng Zhi, this 'Purification of All Things'... if it's true, wouldn't it mean that even a deadly poison like Old Poison Master's can be easily neutralized? That's too abnormal!"

Sword Douluo Chen Xin's expression was more solemn than ever before as he slowly stroked the Seven Kill Sword in his hand.

He said in a deep voice, "Feng Zhi, it seems that we need to significantly improve our evaluation of Beidou Academy once 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 apprehension and curiosity about Beidou Academy reaching their peak. He had a vague sense of it.

The emergence of this academy may completely change the landscape of the entire continent.

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong slammed her scepter heavily on the ground, making a dull thud.

Her phoenix eyes flashed with a cold light, and her killing intent almost materialized.

"Beidou Academy! Zhuang Zhou!"

She practically gritted her teeth as she uttered those 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!"

A lot came to mind in an instant.

Can purifying all things also purify the evil thoughts brought about by the Rakshasa God's test?

Does traversing the void mean that Beidou Academy can launch a surprise attack on the core of the Spirit Hall at any time?

Or could he easily escape her pursuit?

This uncontrollable force made her feel extremely uneasy and threatened.

"Send the order!"

Bibi Dong's voice was icy cold.

"Intensify the investigation into Beidou Academy, with a focus on this 'Zhuang Zhou'."

"I need to know everything about him—his personality, weaknesses, and level of strength! At any cost!"

A low, resounding response came from the shadows.

As Bibi Dong looked at the four characters "Beidou Academy" on the sky, a sense of crisis in her heart was stronger than ever before.

This academy has transformed from a potential force worth recruiting into a major threat that must be eliminated as a priority!

……

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, beneath the Lake of Life.

A gigantic black dragon raised its head, looked up 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 kind of power doesn't seem to belong to the Douluo Continent..."

Ripples spread through the space, and a clear, cold, and dignified female voice rang out: "Interesting... It seems that some unexpected guests have arrived on this continent. Di Tian, ​​have your men keep an eye on the Beidou Academy and Zhuang Zhou, but for now, avoid any conflict with them."

"Yes, my lord."

The black dragon—the Beast God Di Tian—respectfully lowered its head.

……

Poseidon Island.

Poseidon held the Ocean Flute, feeling the immense power of the ocean contained within it.

But when she saw the description of "the Kun of the Northern Sea", her heart was still stirred.

"Transcend the void, purify."

She whispered to herself.

"The light of the sea god also possesses the power of purification, but its ability to traverse the void is beyond the reach of the ocean."

"Beidou Academy... Zhuang Zhou, it seems that the changes on the mainland are far more dramatic than those on the ocean."

The seven guardians behind her exchanged bewildered glances, feeling their worldviews had been severely shaken.

……

Inside the Beidou Academy.

Enveloped in a golden beam of light was a young man lying atop a giant phantom of a Kunpeng, seemingly perpetually in a state of half-sleep and half-awake.
