Chapter 333 Passive Skill: Alluring Beauty
Starry Sky Forest.
A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes.
"Beidou Academy... yet another one."
"A 32-year-old Title Douluo is even faster than the fastest in human history."
"Lu Xiao's forces are indeed full of hidden talents."
Di Tian said in a deep voice:
"My lord, the Beidou Academy is becoming increasingly terrifying. If they join forces with the Spirit Hall, my soul beast race will be..."
"Won't."
Gu Yuena spoke calmly and firmly, "Lu Xiao and Bibi Dong will never be able to cooperate!"
"Let's wait quietly."
...
In a hidden forest.
Tang Hao froze completely when he saw Diao Chan break through to the Title Douluo level at the age of thirty-two.
Thirty-two years old.
She was a full twelve years older than him.
The gap is so vast, it's like an insurmountable chasm.
The last vestige of doubt about the fairness of the list shattered completely at this moment.
He finally understood.
It's not that the heavens are unfair.
It's not that he's not good enough.
Rather, it was a time when a group of monsters, who did not belong to this era, emerged.
He deserved to lose.
They were just born in the wrong era.
Tang Hao slowly loosened his clenched fist.
I looked down at my hands, which were covered in calluses and blood.
A long sigh, filled with endless weariness and disappointment, dissipated in the wind.
"Never mind..."
"In the end... we were not meant to be."
...
Inside the Beidou Academy.
The golden light that fell from the sky had not yet dissipated.
Diao Chan was enveloped in a layer of warm and beautiful divine light.
Her already stunning beauty was amplified by the power of the rankings, giving her an even more sacred and majestic aura.
She gently raised her eyes, a faint smile appearing in them, gentle and charming.
Yet it also carried a subtle, almost imperceptible, sense of detachment.
"I made the list... which was expected."
Diao Chan murmured softly.
The moment the words left his mouth.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
An invisible and intangible pressure, yet directly targeting her core, quietly emanated from her body.
This oppressive aura had no effect whatsoever on female Soul Masters.
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong and the others felt refreshed and relaxed.
However, the experience was completely different for the male Soul Masters like Ao Yin, Sikong Zhen, and Li Bai who were standing to the side.
Ao Yin's expression changed slightly, and his body trembled involuntarily.
He felt an inexplicable pressure pressing down on him, and even his breathing became slightly labored.
He is currently at the Soul Saint level.
Under this oppressive force, I felt a distinct sense of constraint.
Sikong Zhen and Li Bai merely glanced at it briefly before looking away, their expressions calm and unwavering.
The two had already stepped into the realm of Limit Douluo.
His soul power was as stable as an ancient divine mountain, and his will was unbreakable.
This level of pressure was nothing more than a gentle breeze to them, utterly insignificant.
But both of them were very clear about it.
Li Bai took a sip of wine and sighed softly, "Qingcheng is passive; among men of the same rank, she is inherently three points weaker than him."
"If they were to face each other in the future, as long as the opponent was male, Diao Chan would be invincible from the start."
Sikong Zhen nodded slightly, his voice steady: "This technique is not primarily for offense, but it excels at control. Among those of the same cultivation level, no one can gain the upper hand over her."
As Diao Chan listened to their conversation, her smile softened, and she nodded inwardly.
"This canopy is quite thoughtful; my appearance is already prone to attracting trouble and endless problems."
"Now that we have this captivating passive ability, ordinary men dare not approach us easily, which will save us from countless unnecessary entanglements."
With a slight thought, the faint, oppressive aura gradually subsided.
But that alluring and oppressive power that penetrated deep into the soul had been permanently imprinted in her aura.
The entire Douluo Continent.
Countless male Soul Masters, especially those at the Title Douluo level.
After seeing Diao Chan's new passive ability, everyone's expressions became incredibly subtle.
Already a titled Douluo, now with an additional 20% increase in pressure on male Soul Masters...
From now on, we will be in the same realm.
How many men in the world can get the better of Diao Chan?
For a moment, all the powerful men on the mainland had only one thought in their minds.
Never again should you easily become enemies with Diao Chan!
Above the sky, the golden light never stopped for a moment.
Amidst the near-numb anticipation and awe of Soul Masters across the continent.
"Boom boom boom!"
The sky churned violently once more, and dazzling golden light shot straight into the heavens.
The seventh place on the cultivation speed ranking has been revealed!
[Cultivation Speed Ranking: 7th]
Name: Zhuang Zhou
[Affiliation: Beidou College]
[Martial Soul: Kun of the Northern Sea]
[Age of breaking through to Title Douluo: 28 years old]
[Ranking Rewards: One chance to comprehend the laws of time and space, an increase of 2000 years in the age of all soul rings, and a 10% increase in dream abilities]
When the words "28 years old" appeared on the sky.
The Douluo Continent is once again engulfed in a storm.
But in an instant, it fell silent.
Everyone has become numb.
Bibi Dong is 38 years old and ranks ninth.
Diao Chan was 32 years old and ranked eighth.
Zhuang Zhou was 28 years old and ranked seventh.
They were all younger and more terrifying than the last.
Two of them came from the same place—Beidou Academy.
The Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, the Three Upper Sects, and all other major sects...
Everyone who sees the list can only let out a helpless sigh.
They had expected this all along.
But when I actually saw that string of numbers, my heart was still filled with an overwhelming surge of emotions.
At 28, not even 30, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Soul Masters on the continent.
Title Douluo.
This was a myth that would have been unthinkable in the past.
...
Beidou Academy.
Zhuang Zhou was bathed in golden light, his robes fluttering, like a celestial being from another world.
As the power of the rankings entered his body, his aura trembled slightly, and his eyes slowly closed.
The next moment, a layer of hazy, ethereal, dreamlike power appeared.
It flowed slowly out of his body and spread silently to the surroundings.
The three people closest to him were Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.
Just a gentle touch of the mist made my vision blur for a moment.
My consciousness seemed to be pulled into a boundless, chaotic illusion.
A faint murmur echoed in my ears, and fragmented images flashed before my eyes, making me feel as if I were about to sink into a state of unconsciousness.
"Danger!"
Li Bai's eyes narrowed, and he raised his right hand, fingers together like a sword, and lightly slashed through the air.
A condensed and restrained cyan sword aura swept across the sky.
Instantly, a solid barrier of air was erected, completely isolating the dream power spreading around Zhuang Zhou.
"Don't come near."
Li Bai's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable admonition.
"Zhuang Zhou is currently processing the reward and comprehending the laws of dreams and time and space."
"With your current cultivation level, once you get deeply involved, you may never be able to wake up from the dream."
The group snapped back to their senses, retreating in fright, patting their chests, their faces still shaken.
That brief moment of disorientation.
This made them truly realize how terrifying the group from Beidou Academy was.
Even the slightest leak of their scent could easily drag them into danger.
Zhuang Zhou, however, had already entered a state of profound enlightenment.
The power of dreams and the laws of spacetime intertwined and collided in his sea of consciousness.
He immediately used the opportunity to comprehend the laws of space and time granted by the Heavenly Curtain.
