Ignore All Defenses

His handsome face carried an otherworldly, lazy air. It was Zhuang Zhou.

Soul Power Increased, Soul Rings transformed.

These things did not seem to move him much.

Only when the Dreamlike Freedom Domain and Kunpeng Extreme Speed divine ability merged into his body did he slightly open his sleepy eyes and yawn.

He muttered, "Mm... interesting... I can sleep more comfortably now..."

After saying that, the Kunpeng phantom beneath him gently swayed. Fine ripples spread through the surrounding space, and his entire body seemed to merge into the Void as he continued on with his "great dream."

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others beside him were left dumbfounded.

Teacher Zhuang Zhou was simply far too unique!

Ning Rongrong's glass-like eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her small hand.

She watched in disbelief as Teacher Zhuang Zhou, along with the enormous Kunpeng phantom, gradually became ethereal, as though he were about to dissolve into the breeze and shifting light.

"Zhu... Zhuqing, did you see that? Teacher Zhuang Zhou... he... he seems like he's about to disappear?"

Ning Rongrong's voice trembled slightly.

She was both stunned by the miraculous ability to Traverse Void and shaken by the impossible sight before her.

Astonishment also filled Zhu Zhuqing's cool, pretty face. Only after hearing Ning Rongrong did she come back to herself and take a deep breath.

"I saw it. Is this the ability of the Northern Darkness Kun? Purify All Things, Traverse Void... it's practically a miracle."

She recalled her past struggles for survival, her desperate pursuit of power.

Compared to Teacher Zhuang Zhou's freedom between heaven and earth, his posture so close to the Dao, it was like the difference between clouds and mud.

Uncertain light also flickered in Dugu Yan's emerald snake eyes. Feeling the Ice Fire Poisonous Miasma Domain she had just obtained, she had originally felt somewhat pleased with herself.

But compared with Teacher Zhuang Zhou's unfathomable Dreamlike Freedom Domain, she suddenly felt that her own Domain was full of viciousness and limitations.

"Teacher Zhuang Zhou usually either lies on a fish's back sleeping or floats in midair taking naps. I thought..."

She did not finish her sentence, but her meaning was obvious.

Who could have imagined that this seemingly most lazy teacher possessed such a heaven-defying Martial Soul?

As if suddenly remembering something, Ning Rongrong lowered her voice and asked with deep confusion, "Oh, right, did you notice? When the Heavenly Dao Golden Light descended earlier, Teacher Zhuang Zhou's Soul Power definitely increased, but he didn't release any Soul Rings."

"What do you think Teacher Zhuang Zhou's Soul Power Level is?"

At those words, Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan also became extremely curious about Teacher Zhuang Zhou's strength.

The three girls looked at each other, seeing the same shock and confusion in one another's eyes.

Big Dipper Academy's unfathomable depths, as well as the strength and mystery of these teachers,

were once again deeply engraved in their hearts in a way that overturned everything they knew.

Lu Xiao glanced in Zhuang Zhou's direction, and the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Then he returned to his lazy demeanor, as though all this were only natural.

While the various forces across the continent were still immersed in the shock brought by the Northern Darkness Kun,

the Sky Screen's Golden Light flashed again, and the information for eighth place descended with overwhelming force!

[Martial Soul Ranking, Eighth Place: Sky Halberd]

[Owner: Lu Bu (Big Dipper Academy)]

[Rating: Peerless Battle Soul. Dominates the world. Wherever the halberd's edge points, all techniques fall into Destruction. Possesses extreme Destructive power. Trait: Ignore Defense of any form! Contains the might to destroy heaven and earth. One of Douluo Continent's strongest offensive Martial Souls. Current development: 95%]

[Reward: Soul Power Level increased by three levels, all Soul Ring Age increased by Fifteen thousand years, one Fifteen thousand-year head God-bestowed Soul Bone, Innate Domain obtained: Asura Battlefield, combat skill obtained: Unrivaled Dance.]

"Sky Halberd? Another Martial Soul no one has ever heard of!"

"Ignore Defense? How is that possible!"

"Destroy heaven and earth, one of the strongest offensive Martial Souls... my god!"

"Big Dipper Academy! Big Dipper Academy Again! Both eighth and ninth place belong to them!"

If the Northern Darkness Kun brought strangeness and mystery, then the Sky Halberd brought the most direct and pure impact of violence!

The words "Ignore All Defenses" struck every Soul Master like a heavy hammer,

especially those Soul Masters renowned for their defenses!

What did that mean?

It meant that no matter how sturdy the turtle shell, how heavy the shield, or how powerful the Defensive Soul Skill, they would all be like paper before the Sky Halberd!

What an overbearing and utterly unreasonable trait!

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Bone Douluo Gu Rong subconsciously touched his bones, his face turning somewhat pale. "Ignore Defense... Old Chen, your Seven Killing Sword is sharp enough, isn't it? Can it ignore defenses?"

Chen Xin slowly shook his head, his expression incomparably solemn. "No. My sword must still cut through obstacles. This Sky Halberd... its offensive trait is already close to the level of a rule."

"This Lu Bu... if we become enemies, we absolutely cannot let him get close!"

Ning Fengzhi drew in a sharp breath. "Unmatched attack power, and it can ignore defenses too. Just how many monsters like this does Big Dipper Academy have?"

"Is Rongrong truly safe there?"

At that moment, his concern for his daughter actually outweighed his curiosity about the academy's mysteries.

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong's nails had already sunk deeply into her palms.

She possessed the two top-tier Martial Souls, the Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, and her defenses were also exceptionally formidable.

Yet the words "Ignore Any Defense" made even her feel a fatal threat.

"Lu Bu. Sky Halberd."

Killing intent overflowed from her eyes.

"We must uncover the details of this Big Dipper Academy as soon as possible. If they cannot be brought under our control, then before they grow stronger, we must spare no effort to eliminate them!"

She seemed to see a terrifying halberd that could rend all defenses hanging over Spirit Hall's head.

The Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, the major sects...

Every force was frightened by these two terrifying Martial Souls that had appeared one after another from Big Dipper Academy.

Big Dipper Academy's image became incomparably lofty and mysterious in their hearts.

At the same time, it was filled with an extreme sense of danger.

One Zhuang Zhou, with the power of Purification and traversal.

One Lu Bu, with the power to break through all defenses.

And these were only eighth and ninth place!

What about the seven before them? Were they also all at Big Dipper Academy?

Was this academy trying to defy heaven itself?

On Big Dipper Academy's plaza,

a towering figure, as imposing as a mountain and as tyrannical as a demonic god, stood proudly. It was Lu Bu.

He held the phantom of an enormous Sky Halberd, radiating dark-red baleful energy, as he received the baptism of the Golden Light Pillar.

His Soul Power surged, and his Soul Rings transformed.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red.

Seven black and two red—an utterly heaven-defying Soul Ring Configuration.

A tragic and tyrannical Asura Battlefield Domain, as though capable of slaughtering gods and exterminating demons, spread outward from him.

Even the surrounding air became stagnant and thick with killing intent.
