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

Chapter 64 The Aftermath of Titan's Wrath, Dugu Yan's Filial Piety

The next morning, outside the wooden house.

With his back to the crowd, Tianxia Wuzei spoke in a deep and powerful voice: "Today, the Grand Arena will arrange a team battle for you."

Before anyone could ask, he raised his hand to stop them, saying, "No need to ask any more questions. This was arranged by someone."

"Team spirit?" The traitor raised an eyebrow. "Boss, what kind of opponent is worth your personal arrangement?"

He recognized the thief as his father and exchanged a smile with the shifty-eyed man, his tone laced with disdain.

"Second Brother is right. In the Soto City Grand Arena, the three of us have never encountered a serious opponent in the Soul Master zone. Team battles, isn't that just bullying?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong nodded silently.

This is not arrogance, but the truth.

With her level 28 soul power, Zhu Zhuqing was virtually unbeatable in the Great Soul Master competition.

The three traitors, who were even stronger, also dominated the Soul Master competition area, and there were hardly any opponents who could make them take the competition seriously.

The man with no thieves still had his back to them, and said seriously, "Don't be careless. The opponents I've found for you are also formidable. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy Team, or Royal Dou Team for short!"

"The Royal Fighting Team?!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed. "They're the strongest team publicly known at the Heaven Dou Empire's Advanced Soul Master Academy!"

As the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she knew better than anyone the significance of this team.

Given the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire, Ning Rongrong should have joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Upon hearing this, the treacherous minister sneered, "The strongest? That's because they haven't met us yet!"

"Second brother is right. What a load of bull! What kind of Royal Fighting Team is this? Today we'll teach them a lesson!" They were practically begging for a fight.

With shifty eyes and a face full of disdain, he said, "We've even beaten up the Golden Generation, why would we be afraid of a mere Royal Fighting Team?!"

"I'm not participating in this team battle," Tianxia Wuzei suddenly interrupted. "You five will fight."

"Huh? Boss, aren't you interested in the leader of the Royal Fighting Team?" the traitor asked in surprise.

"What interest do you have in a group of opponents with similar strength to yours?" Tianxia Wuzei's tone was calm, but it instantly made the three of them furious.

"Similar?! Boss, you're underestimating me!"

"While we may not be as good as you, boss, we're not some nobody who can mess with us!"

"Eldest brother, you should look at us with new eyes after just three days. Today, we three younger brothers will completely change your opinion of us!"

Hearing the three men's spirited shouts, Tianxia Wuzei nodded almost imperceptibly.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

“Remember, winning is a given.” He added fuel to the fire, “If you lose, don’t say you know me. I can’t afford to lose face.”

Without giving them a chance to argue, he waved them away, saying, "Get ready to leave. Don't let people think we're scared!"

The three traitors walked at the front, fuming and shouting, their fighting spirit higher than ever before.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong looked at Tianxia Wuzei, who had his back to them, with some curiosity, but they didn't ask anything.

They haven't even established themselves in the "A World Without Thieves" team yet.

Sensing their departure, Tianxia Wuzei slowly turned around.

His face appeared unusually pale in the morning light, like a sheet of bleached rice paper, even his lip color was so pale that it almost blended into his skin.

"Phew, I finally managed to fool them. If they had seen me like this, wouldn't my image as the boss have been ruined?!"

He clenched his weak and sore fists, secretly shocked: "I didn't expect the side effects of the Titan's Wrath soul skill to be so severe, causing me to become like this."

Last night's short half hour not only exhausted Tianxia Wuzei's soul power, but also almost depleted his blood energy.

According to his own calculations, it would probably take him several days to fully recover, relying solely on his individual recovery ability.

Of course, if there is a powerful healing Soul Master, the recovery time will be greatly shortened.

Even though Titan's Wrath has huge side effects, Wu Zetian still thinks it's a pretty good soul skill. "No one can usually push me to the brink of death, so this soul skill can definitely be used to save my life."

If it can unleash a burst of power to turn the tide and kill, how can it not be considered a powerful soul skill?

After not sleeping all night, Tianxia Wuzei couldn't resist any longer and slipped back into the cabin to rest.

Soon, the five traitors arrived at the Great Soul Arena and were immediately assigned to the main arena to battle against the Royal Fighting Team.

After all, it was personally arranged by Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, so all the problems were no longer problems.

In the VIP room on the second floor, there were two figures, one old and one young, namely Dugu Bo and his granddaughter Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan leaned against the French windows, her emerald eyes constantly scanning the battle preparation area below where the traitors and rebels were preparing for war.

"Grandpa, didn't the person you mentioned come?"

She naturally wanted to see who could cure her grandfather's poison.

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "To him, such a battle spirit is too childish and not worth his time at all."

Although Dugu Yan had heard her grandfather's explanation more than once, she still couldn't help but raise her doubts.

"Child's play? Grandpa, our Royal Fighting Team is the strongest among the younger generation of the Heaven Dou Empire! Tian Heng even possesses the number one beast martial soul in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, and his soul power is as high as level thirty-nine! With such powerful strength, isn't he worth his time?!"

She also has her own pride and is very confident in the abilities of the teammates she chose.

Being looked down upon by one's own grandfather time and time again would make anyone feel uncomfortable.

"Yanyan." Dugu Bo interrupted her, his tone unusually serious. "You need to know that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. Don't use your limited perspective to view the world."

Dugu Yan pouted, unconvinced: "Then you should at least tell me just how talented he is? If you don't even know his age and how much soul power he has, how can I be convinced by him?"

“Twelve years old,” Dugu Bo suddenly spoke, his gaze deep, “Level 48 Battle Soul Master.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the air in the VIP room seemed to freeze.

Dugu Yan's pupils suddenly contracted, and she looked up at her grandfather in disbelief.

"Grandpa, you're not joking, are you?!"

Dugu Yan is almost twenty years old now, but her soul power is only level thirty-eight.

Even Yu Tianheng, whom she admires, is only at level thirty-nine at this age.

Dugu Bo did not answer her question directly. He looked towards the preparation area and said, "Besides him, his three younger brothers are two level 38 and one level 37."

"what?!"

Dugu Yan staggered back half a step, her purple hair falling down and obscuring her violently contracting pupils.

There's more than one person with such terrifying talent!
At only twelve years old, his soul power had already caught up with hers.

Just then, a wrinkled hand gently rested on her shoulder.

Dugu Bo's eyes were filled with guilt, and his voice was gentle: "You've suffered all these years. You clearly don't like Yu Tianheng, but you still had to play along with him. I know you did it all for my own good, but from now on you don't have to do these things anymore."

"Grandpa, you know all this?!" Dugu Yan suddenly looked up, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Silly girl." Dugu Bo chuckled and ruffled her hair. "You think Grandpa really can't see through it? I'm much better at your little tricks."

Just then, the lights on the arena suddenly blazed on, and the host announced that the five-person team battle was about to begin.

Dugu Bo withdrew his hand, his tone turning serious: "After the competition, you should withdraw from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Now that Grandpa has a backer, I don't need you to worry about me anymore."

Looking at her grandfather's kind face, Dugu Yan finally burst into tears.

Years of pretense crumbled at this moment, and she threw herself into the old man's arms like a child.

At that moment, the host's voice could be heard from the arena.

"Seventh match, Team Spirit Battle. The two teams facing off are the Villain Team and the Royal Fighting Team! Players, enter the arena!"
