Chapter 20: Heaven-Defying Spirits and Spirit Rings
Yet, looking at Cai Wenji and Sikong Zhen, they seemed as if they had only done something insignificant?
Especially Teacher Sikong Zhen; the fact that he could so easily assist in hunting a Soul Beast approaching 100,000 years old meant his strength was likely that of a Titled Douluo.
And certainly not an ordinary Titled Douluo!
Just thinking that all the people they knew at this Academy—Li Bai, Lü Bu, Zhuang Zhou, Cai Wenji, and Sikong Zhen—
might all be powerhouses of the Titled Douluo level, the three girls couldn't help but gasp in shock.
Then, how terrifying must the strength of Lu Xiao, the Dean, be?
They simply dared not imagine!
Just as their minds were reeling and they were almost unable to think, the heavenly curtain in the sky underwent dramatic changes once again.
Golden light surged like boiling water, and the solemn sound of the Heavenly Dao echoed throughout the universe:
[Martial Soul Ranking, Seventh Place: life reincarnation zither]
[Holder: Cai Wenji (Big Dipper Academy)]
[Rating: Top-tier Healing System/Life System Tool Spirit, containing the ultimate power of Life, capable of healing and reviving all things. Because the power of Life has reached its extreme, a trace of Reincarnation True Intent was born. It is mysterious, unfathomable, and infinitely powerful, hailed as the number one healing-type Martial Soul under heaven.]
[Reward: Soul Power Rank increases by three Ranks, the age of all Soul Rings increases by 20,000 years, obtains Divine Skill: Radiance of Life, obtains 150,000-year God-bestowed Torso Spirit Bone, obtains 150,000-year God-bestowed Head Spirit Bone, obtains ten drops of Healing Divine Water.]
"life reincarnation zither? The number one healing-type Martial Soul under heaven?"
"It's Big Dipper Academy again! How many is that now?!"
"The reward... 150,000-year Soul Bones? And what is that Healing Divine Water? It sounds extraordinary!"
"What exactly is the background of this Big Dipper Academy? How did they manage to gather so many powerhouses with Heaven-Defying Martial Souls!"
The entire continent erupted once more because of Big Dipper Academy and this unfamiliar, powerful Martial Soul!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Spirit Hall, Sea God Island, Clear Sky Sect... the leaders of all top powers felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
Their apprehension and curiosity toward the mysterious Big Dipper Academy reached their peak!
Big Dipper Academy.
The golden pillar of light, a reward from the Heavenly Dao, had already descended, enveloping Cai Wenji.
Her Soul Power, which had just broken through to Rank 91, instantly surged, directly increasing to Rank 94!
The nine Soul Rings around her flashed wildly, and under the tempering of the majestic Heavenly Dao energy, their colors rapidly transformed.
When they finally stabilized, they had astonishingly become...
Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red!
Seven Black and Two Red!
A Heaven-Defying Soul Ring configuration identical to Lü Bu's!
A powerful aura of life spread out like a tide, even causing the flowers, grass, and trees around the plaza to grow wildly.
At the same time, two jade-green torso Soul Bones, radiating rich life fluctuations and powerful Soul Power pressure,
along with ten drops of liquid, suspended in mid-air, crystal clear, and exuding an indescribable vitality and sacred aura, appeared before Cai Wenji.
Cai Wenji seemed merely satisfied with the Soul Power increase and the Soul Bones.
But when she saw those ten drops of liquid, an expression of mixed surprise and delight appeared on her innocent face.
Ning Rongrong and the others were also attracted by the ten drops of divine water, and feeling the majestic vitality contained within them, they couldn't help but ask.
"Teacher Cai Wenji, what is the effect of this Healing Divine Water?"
Cai Wenji carefully supported the ten drops of divine water with her Soul Power and explained.
"This Healing Divine Water possesses the Heaven-Defying effect of bringing the dead back to life and healing severe injuries. As long as the time of death does not exceed fifteen minutes and the Physical Body is relatively intact, one drop of Divine Water can revive them!"
"Furthermore, no matter how severe the physical injury or Divine Soul Trauma, it can be completely healed without residual damage, making it one of the most top-tier healing treasures between heaven and earth!"
"Even true Divine Rank powerhouses could potentially be revived by using a few more drops!"
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and even Lü Bu and Sikong Zhen nearby were slightly moved.
"Revive?!"
"Healing all injuries and Divine Soul Trauma?!"
This effect was truly too Heaven-Defying! It was equivalent to having ten extra lives!
No, it was even more precious than ten lives.
For a healing-type Soul Master, this was simply a dream divine item!
Watching the astonishing rewards Teacher Cai Wenji received, and feeling the terrifying strength displayed by the teachers of Big Dipper Academy, the hearts of the three girls were completely filled with shock.
The mystery and power of this Academy repeatedly redefined the limits of their understanding.
Meanwhile, the various powers across the continent, after a brief uproar, fell into a deeper silence and repression.
Everyone's gaze was fixed intently on the six remaining spots on the heavenly curtain.
The top six!
These would be existences surpassing Heaven-Defying Martial Souls like the life reincarnation zither, the sky piercer halberd, and the North Sea Kun...
Could Big Dipper Academy continue to dominate the ranking list?
Just as the various forces across the continent were stirred up and discussing heatedly because the "life reincarnation zither" ranked seventh,
The golden scroll in the sky did not give people much time to breathe; the light surged intensely again.
The vast sound of the Heavenly Dao, like a great bell, resonated deep within the Soul of every living being:
[Martial Soul Ranking, Sixth Place: Nine Heavens Divine Thunder]
[Holder: Sikong Zhen (Big Dipper Academy)]
[Rating: Ultimate Offensive Elemental Martial Soul (containing the Thunder True Body), containing the most Origin and tyrannical Law power of Thunder between heaven and earth. It controls the Heavenly Punishment and possesses the might to destroy heaven and earth. Wherever it passes, all things perish! It is hailed as the strongest Thunder Martial Soul in the current era!]
[Reward: Soul Power Rank increases by three Ranks, Soul Power consolidation doubles, the age of all Soul Rings increases by 20,000 years, obtains Domain: Nine Heavens Thunder Domain, obtains 200,000-year God-bestowed Left Arm Spirit Bone, obtains Divine Skill: Thunder World Destruction.]
"Nine Heavens Divine Thunder?! The might to destroy heaven and earth?!"
"It's Big Dipper Academy again! They took the sixth spot too!"
"The strongest Thunder Martial Soul! My heavens! What about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan..."
The entire continent instantly exploded into chaos.
Especially the Soul Masters and powers known for their thunder attribute felt a suffocating sense of pressure.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, as one of the Upper Three Sects, is known for the powerful lightning control of their Legacy Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Yet it only ranked twentieth on the Martial Soul Ranking.
And this "Nine Heavens Divine Thunder" that suddenly appeared actually claimed the sixth spot directly.
It was hailed by the Heavenly Dao as the "Strongest Thunder Martial Soul in the Current Era."
This was undoubtedly an overwhelming declaration against all Thunder Martial Souls!
Big Dipper Academy.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan looked at Teacher Sikong Zhen—his imposing figure and the terrifying lightning surrounding him that seemed capable of tearing the sky apart.
Although they were still shocked, after experiencing the impact of Lü Bu and Cai Wenji,
they instead had a feeling of "as expected."
"Teacher Sikong Zhen is indeed a Titled Douluo."
Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice carried a hint of realization.
Dugu Yan nodded, her beautiful eyes shining brightly: "To be able to easily assist Teacher Cai Wenji in hunting a Soul Beast approaching 100,000 years old, Teacher Sikong Zhen's strength is definitely unfathomable."
"I just didn't expect his Martial Soul to be so powerful, hailed as the strongest Thunder Martial Soul in the current era!"
