Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 27 First Encounter with Tang San, Storms Rise in the Soul Arena

At the entrance to the Great Soul Arena, upon hearing these words, Dai Mubai's once handsome face twisted into a grotesque grimace.

His golden pupils burned with the flames of humiliation as he stared intently at Tianxia Wuzei, who stood in his way.

"It's you!" Dai Mubai's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with suppressed anger. "Last time, my legs were weak, otherwise did you really think you could have beaten me?"

"No Thief Under Heaven" raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.

This guy looks even more haggard than he did two weeks ago. His eyes are sunken, and his face is pale. He looks like a drug addict who has overindulged in excessive sex.

After becoming Tang San's slave yesterday, his life must be tough.

But what does that have to do with me?

"Legs weak?" Tianxia Wuzei sneered, his tone sarcastic. "Young Master Dai, not only are your legs weak, but your back is also bent over, isn't it?"

Hearing this veiled sarcasm, Dai Mubai's face instantly turned red, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Ma Hongjun, who had gloriously accepted becoming Tang San's lackey, jumped out from behind him and shouted angrily.

"Bullshit! Boss Dai is a level 37 Soul Master. If it weren't for the Void Realm that day, how could you possibly have beaten him?"

Ma Hongjun fainted that day and had no idea what happened afterward. At this moment, he was whimpering and barking wildly.

Dai Mubai, the person involved, blushed deeply and wished he could disappear into the ground.

Before Tianxia Wuzei could even speak, the shifty-eyed men behind him were already in an uproar.

"Hey, isn't this the loser who got punched to the ground by the boss?" The shifty-eyed man picked at his ear with a sarcastic tone. "What, now that you're someone's dog, you dare to bark?"

He even exaggeratedly covered his nose, saying, "Second brother, can you smell that? It's a huge stench of sycophancy!"

The traitor pinched his nose in agreement: "Ugh, no wonder I felt the air in the Great Soul Arena had become so stuffy!"

"No Thief Under Heaven" looked at Ma Hongjun and said jokingly, "Everyone in Soto City knows that I tricked someone into sleeping on the street. It's pitiful that you're the only one who doesn't know."

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai trembled with rage, his soul power leaking out uncontrollably.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, a hand landed on his shoulder.

"Mu Bai, calm down."

The boy in blue stepped forward slowly, a fake smile on his seemingly gentle face.

Although Dai Mubai was very dissatisfied with Tang San's orders, he had already been forced to become Tang San's slave last night.

Not daring to disobey the orders of the Title Douluo, he could only close his eyes and stand aside in frustration.

Tianxia Wuzei narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "This is Tang San? He looks very ordinary, but he gives me a very gloomy feeling."

"My friend," Tang San cupped his hands in greeting, his voice so gentle it was nauseating, "I am Tang San. May I be so kind as to make friends?"

This person looks to be about my age, yet he was able to defeat Dai Mubai in one move.

If I could get him to join Shrek Academy and become my henchman, it would be perfect.

However, before the thieves could speak, the traitors behind him burst into exaggerated laughter.

"Make friends? Who do you think you are? You dare to be friends with our boss?!"

He spat at the thief as his father, and said mockingly, "You're just a level 29 Great Soul Master, you can't even compare to me, and you want to be friends with my boss? What are you pretending to be, you big bad wolf!"

With shifty eyes, he looked around. His soul power was comparable to Tang San's, so he had no right to mock him.

Tang San's smile froze on his face. He had thought he could easily recruit Wu Zetian.

His expression changed instantly, his face turning so dark it seemed to drip water.

"No Thief Under Heaven" narrowed his eyes, keenly catching the movement of his fingers caressing the moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges.

Want to use hidden weapons?!
But at this distance, I could smash his head in!
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, drawing the attention of everyone in the hall.

Some Soul Masters recognized the four members of "The World Without Thieves" and pointed at Tang San and the others.

"Are they out of their minds? How dare they provoke the Four Great Villains!"

"It's been a while since I watched Explosive King Fighting Spirit, and I really miss it now!"

"Hopefully one of them can land a single blow, otherwise it'll be another instant kill, and it won't be worth the ticket price at all!"

Tang San's expression changed as he listened to the surrounding chatter; no one around him seemed to have any faith in them. Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up, and she looked at the four thieves with great interest.

So you're saying they're very strong?

If I could join them, wouldn't I be able to get revenge for them?

Ning Rongrong has had a miserable time these past two days.

Shrek Academy isolated her, making her run every day but teaching her nothing else.

They even went so far as to say that only by getting physically fit can one better integrate into the team.

However, Ning Rongrong, as the little devil of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, had been influenced by Ning Fengzhi since childhood, so she was naturally not stupid.

After discovering that Tang San had become the backbone of the Shrek Seven Devils, they naturally understood what had happened.

He has been staying at Shrek Academy because he hasn't found a better place to go.

Now, seeing the even stronger "No Thieves Under Heaven" and others, he immediately considered switching sides.

The eyes of the person in the novel, "No Thieves Under Heaven," also fell on Ning Rongrong, sensing her thoughts.

However, he didn't want a little witch in his team and needed to temper her sharpness.

Just then, staff from the Great Soul Arena rushed over, their faces plastered with fawning smiles.

"Esteemed Soul Masters, please calm your anger. This is the main hall, not a suitable place for fighting. Since there are relatively few people participating in the Soul Battle today, why don't you settle your differences on the arena?"

The man laughed, holding the battle schedule and muttering, "The upcoming Soul Battles are: Wu Zetian vs. Dai Mubai, Zei Mei Rat Eyes vs. Ma Hongjun, and Zhu Zhuqing vs. Xiao Wu. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the will of Heaven!"

Tianxia Wuzei glanced at the man and naturally knew that this was a deliberate arrangement by the officials of the Great Soul Arena.

However, there was no objection; he was actually planning to beat Dai Mubai up again.

A glint flashed in Tang San's eyes, and he said with feigned magnanimity, "Since it is the will of Heaven, we will naturally comply."

As he spoke, he glanced meaningfully at "No Thieves Under Heaven," and said, "I hope some people won't back down at the last minute."

The thief ignored him and turned to walk towards the preparation area of ​​the main arena.

The traitors and those who recognized the enemy as their father were not dealt with, but they still glared fiercely at Tang San and the others.

With shifty eyes, he even ran his hand across his neck, threatening Ma Hongjun.

Dai Mubai was initially excited, but upon hearing the name Zhu Zhuqing, he froze on the spot.

However, before he could ask, the group had already left.

In the preparation area, Tianxia Wuzei said to Zhu Zhuqing, "That Xiao Wu is not weak, she's a level 29 Great Soul Master. If you want to beat her, you must catch her off guard."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's purple eyes. She hadn't expected that Tianxia Wuzei would care about her.

She took a deep breath and nodded firmly.

"Yes, I will win!"

At this moment, the shifty-eyed man excitedly rubbed his hands together, saying, "Boss, watch me cripple that fat red-haired guy later!"

The Thief Under Heaven nodded and then shook his head: "Be careful, after all, it's a game of strategy, don't kill him. Besides, killing him directly would be letting him off easy."

Actually, he was more worried that Tang Hao was watching, and that if he did something that crossed his bottom line, it might bring trouble.

"Yes, big brother, I'll be careful!"

He was unusually serious, with shifty eyes, because he was now the only one of the four brothers qualified to face Ma Hongjun in the Soul Battle.

After being reminded, Tianxia Wuzei's gaze swept towards the opposite preparation area, where he met Tang San's cold gaze.

Then Tang San revealed a fake smile, but he could clearly see the killing intent beneath the smile.

What a petty person! He's already holding a grudge against me?
Fine, we'll have to face each other sooner or later, let's establish our authority today!
Just then, the announcer's voice came from the main arena.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Without further ado, the first battle of the afternoon will officially begin, with the level 29 Magic King facing off against the level 28 Ma Hongjun!"

"No Thieves Under Heaven" patted the shifty-eyed man on the shoulder and said, "Go on, don't let the brothers down!"
