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

Chapter 58 Soul Skills Suppress Mountains and Rivers, Dark Hammer Forges Heart Demon

The following day, the leader of the "Tianxia Wuzei" (a government organization) instructed the traitors and their followers to train in the Soul Arena during the day and return to cultivate at night.

He himself did not go to the Soul Arena.

Because the pressure from a Soul Master-level Soul Master is too little for him now, it's better for him to focus on building up his Soul Power and familiarizing himself with Soul Skills on his own.

Deep in the dense forest on the outskirts of Soto
The thief stood quietly in the forest, his eyes slightly closed, his soul power surging like a tide.

"call!"

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, and four spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, and red—appeared one after another beneath his feet!

In an instant, the entire dense forest seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, the trees swayed wildly, and the branches and leaves rustled, as if it were being hit by a Category 10 hurricane!
He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing up, and terrifying soul power condensed within.

The entire forest seemed to have become a living hell, filled with red light everywhere.

"town!"

As the word fell, "No Thief Under Heaven" pressed down with his backhand, and in that instant, heaven and earth seemed to be suppressed.

Trees within a radius of 100 meters bent over at the same time, their thick trunks cracking and popping under the strain, like firecrackers.

The thinner trees were crushed and fell to the ground with a crash!

The thief smiled slightly and pressed his palm down again.

"Boom!"

In an instant, all the trees within a radius of 100 meters were crushed, even those that were as thick as two or three people could hug.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Tianxia Wuzei nodded in satisfaction.

"As expected, the soul skill granted by the 100,000-year soul ring is far superior to ordinary soul skills. With just this one move, it can easily suppress a Soul Master of the same level. If it were to target only one person, it could even crush them into a meat patty!"

The Titan Ape Soul Ring, besides granting Wu Zetian (a character in the game) powerful basic strength and speed, also provides Soul Skills derived from its innate gravity control.

Fourth Soul Skill: Gravity Crushing.

It can slow down and immobilize enemies within its range, and can even crush weaker enemies into mincemeat.

To put it another way, the fourth spirit ring of "No Thief Under Heaven" is essentially a gravity field.

It can be controlled in groups or individually.

Yesterday, he used a bit of gravity to crush Yu Xiaogang, rendering him unable to move.

"No Thieves Under Heaven" clenched his fist, his tone tinged with excitement.

"Now, when I unleash my fourth soul skill, Gravity Crush, at full power, I can even slow down a Soul Douluo's movements, revealing a slight opening. Just for a fleeting moment, I can turn defense into offense!"

The only drawback is that this soul skill consumes too much soul power.

Fortunately, Tianxia Wuzei had already mastered the Overlord Chasing Wind Fist to the point of being a basic attack; otherwise, the fourth soul skill would have become a burden.

"If only I could have a strength-based soul skill. Unfortunately, that's just how luck is. But I seem to remember that a 100,000-year soul ring has two soul skills, right? I hope my 100,000-year soul ring's second soul skill is a strength-based one!"

Because "No Thieves Under Heaven" absorbed a spirit ring of a higher level, a large portion of it was lost. This resulted in the second spirit skill being ineffective, requiring the user to figure it out on their own.

Moreover, the Gravity Crushing Soul Skill is already quite good.

Combined with the Wind Domain, it's practically a killer of minions!

Given a little time, the second soul skill bestowed upon him by the Titan Ape will be able to be unleashed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't need to come here to settle down and adapt to his soul skills.

"It's almost time. I should head to the Great Soul Arena and see how their battle is going."

The thief stretched and grinned mischievously.

"If you're not satisfied, I'll let you taste the power of a 100,000-year-old soul skill! Training in a gravity environment will surely enhance your strength even more."

After saying that, he walked towards the Soto City Great Arena.

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang spent most of his savings, which he had taken from the Spirit Hall, to hire a healing spirit master to cure Tang San's injuries.

Tang San lay blankly on the bed, his eyes lifeless.

Seeing Tang San's withdrawn state, Yu Xiaogang decided to comfort him.

After all, these were his guinea pigs to prove himself to the world, and he couldn't afford to lose his value because of one setback.

"Mistress, there's no need to belittle yourself."

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently out the window. "Those people from the Spirit Hall are only temporarily ahead of you because of their abundant resources. In terms of talent and potential, they are far inferior to you."

Upon hearing this, Tang San, curled up on the bed, gradually regained his light in his previously dim eyes.

"Teacher is right!" Tang San murmured, his voice gradually becoming firm. "If I have the same resources, I will definitely not be inferior to anyone. Not even that Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!" As he said this, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

A satisfied smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's lips; his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

He turned and walked towards Tang San, patting his beloved disciple on the shoulder.

“Little San, remember this: your greatest advantage is not your external conditions, but rather…” Yu Xiaogang paused deliberately for a moment, and seeing Tang San’s expectant eyes, he continued, “but rather the once-in-a-century talent of having twin martial souls.”

To put it bluntly, Yu Xiaogang was poor and couldn't provide Tang San with good cultivation resources.

Tang Hao has been hiding and on the run for years, and has had no time to take care of Tang San.

"Twin Martial Souls!" Tang San was suddenly enlightened and straightened up.

He subconsciously summoned the Haotian Hammer in his left hand, its dark body gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"If I had cultivated this power-type hammer martial soul, I definitely wouldn't have lost to that traitor yesterday. He was only able to beat me because of the suppression of his martial soul!"

Tang San brainwashed himself, attributing yesterday's defeat to the inadequacy of his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

They believed that with powerful offensive capabilities, they would never lose.

The master and apprentice smiled at each other, as if the gloom of yesterday's defeat had been swept away.

However, Tang San's next words greatly displeased Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher, I've decided to add a spirit ring to my second martial soul!"

"What?! You little brat, are you trying to ruin your future?!" Yu Xiaogang glared at Tang San seriously.

Although Tang San had promised Tang Hao that he wouldn't easily add a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, he knew that this was his only way to catch up with Tianxia Wuzei and the others in a short period of time.

Having only one martial soul is not an advantage, but he has two martial souls!
“Teacher, I am now a Soul Master. The Soul Ring I attached to my second Martial Soul is at least a thousand years old, and its power is definitely not weak.”

Tang San believed that he lacked powerful offensive methods and had no good way to break the deadlock against a martial soul like that of a traitor.

Although the Tang Clan has powerful hidden weapons that can break the deadlock, they are expensive to make and are essentially external possessions.

Therefore, he felt that only by adding a powerful attack soul skill to the hammer spirit could the stalemate be broken.

Yu Xiaogang naturally saw Tang San's current disadvantage.

Against a beast-type martial soul like Dai Mubai, ordinary hidden weapons can indeed have an unexpected effect, and then Blue Silver Grass can be used to finish off the opponent.

However, against the martial spirits of the four brothers of the Heavenly Thief, those hidden weapons were inadequate and couldn't even break through their defenses.

Moreover, he also needed Tang San to defeat Tianxia Wuzei, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, so he was naturally tempted.

"Having Xiao San add one spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer shouldn't have much of an impact. I suppose Clear Sky Douluo won't blame me if he finds out. After all, Xiao San is on the path to invincibility, and he can't afford to encounter any inner demons along the way."

Yu Xiaogang convinced himself, and then nodded emphatically.

"Xiao San, I agree to you adding a spirit ring to your second martial soul, but you can only add one."

Tang San breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Because Yu Xiaogang had given his permission, he felt that this did not completely violate his promise to Tang Hao.

After all, he was only adding a spirit ring to his second spirit.

However, Tang San was unaware that his actions were risky.

Because Yu Xiaogang does not have the cultivation method for twin martial souls, rashly cultivating a second martial soul may cause irreparable damage.

However, Tang San was very confident.

"Don't worry, teacher. It's just adding a spirit ring to the second spirit; it's not a difficult task!"

After all, he already had several experiences absorbing spirit rings, so he thought it wouldn't be difficult to help his second spirit absorb spirit rings.

Yu Xiaogang shared the same view, believing that cultivating twin martial souls wasn't that difficult and that he could easily deduce it based on his own knowledge.

"There's no time to lose, let Flander take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a spirit ring!"

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The surface of the Lake of Life churned violently, and a huge shadow hovered underwater.

Unable to sense the presence of the Titan Ape for a long time, the creatures in the lake couldn't help but turn their bodies restlessly.

"boom!"

The lake surface suddenly exploded, and a huge body rose into the sky, its terrifying pressure instantly sweeping across the entire forest.

That was the Azure Bull Python, another 100,000-year-old soul beast from the Star Dou Great Forest!
The rage of the 100,000-year-old soul beast caused all the soul beasts within a hundred miles to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling in fear.

"Who dares to touch my brother?! I'll tear him to pieces!"
