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

Chapter 70 The Tragedy of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Martial Soul, and the Reason for Ye Lingling's Withdrawal
A cold glint flashed in Qin Ming's eyes, and his soul power erupted like a volcano.

"How dare you! You dare to attack someone from the Royal Fighting Team! You're asking for death!"

Before he finished speaking, his left hand formed a claw, wreathed in blazing flames, and aimed straight for Tianxia Wuzei's throat.

This claw strike may seem ordinary, but it is actually his third soul skill, the Azure Wolf Flaming Claw.

This attack was enough to instantly render an ordinary Soul Master powerless.

"Heh." Upon seeing this, Tianxia Wuzei's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Faced with the oncoming fiery claws, he did not retreat but advanced, his other hand shooting out like lightning and precisely grabbing Qin Ming's wrist.

"boom!"

The moment the two soul energies collided, a visible ripple spread through the air, stirring up fallen leaves all over the ground.

"How is this possible?!" Qin Ming's pupils shrank, staring at the scene before him in disbelief.

He clearly sensed that Tianxia Wuzei's soul power was only level 47 or 48, yet his third soul skill was easily blocked without him even flinching.

What alarmed him even more was that the once invincible flames seemed to have gone out, serving no purpose whatsoever.

Seeing his surprised expression, Tianxia Wuzei naturally guessed what he was thinking.

The Fiery Wolf's flames are indeed impressive, but they are still far from being the ultimate fire.

My Fire Dragon King Martial Soul is a Martial Soul that surpasses the Ultimate Fire. This little flame doesn't think it can hurt me.
Thinking of this, a hint of mockery flashed in Tianxia Wuzei's eyes: "With such meager skills, you dare to snatch someone right under my nose? Who do you think you are?!"

Before he finished speaking, the muscles in his arms suddenly tensed, and the veins bulged out like dragons.

Two crisp cracking sounds were heard, and Qin Ming's arm groaned as it strained under the weight.

"call out!"

To everyone's horror, Qin Ming's tall body was swung up like a broken sack, tracing a pathetic arc in the air before being thrown heavily away.

Qin Ming snapped back to his senses in an instant. With his rich combat experience, he quickly adjusted and landed firmly on the ground.

But the terrifying force still caused him to slide a distance on the ground before he finally stopped.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stared wide-eyed at the scene in horror.

As Qin Ming was the team leader and instructor of their Royal Fighting Team, they naturally knew his strength.

Unexpectedly, their idol, the so-called second youngest Soul Emperor in the entire continent, was defeated by a twelve-year-old child.

Moreover, it was a battle between a Soul Master and a Soul Emperor, with a difference of more than ten levels of soul power!
Qin Ming steadied himself and scanned the crowd with a serious expression.

When he saw the faces of the group, including Tianxia Wuzei, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"It's them?!"

After all, the three traitors had left a deep impression on him; they were monsters whose talents surpassed even Yu Tianheng's!

When Qin Ming's gaze fell upon "No Thieves Under Heaven," his heart was filled with even greater turmoil.

"When did such a young Soul Master appear on the continent?!"

Qin Ming's attention had been focused on Ye Lingling, and he only realized then that the young man in front of him who could make him lose face was actually younger than the students of the Royal Fighting Team.

What's even more frightening is that there's more than one such genius.

Such a talented person must have a powerful figure standing behind him.

"Damn it, I can't use force, or I'll offend a behemoth. But I absolutely have to bring Ye Lingling back, or the Heavenly Dou royal family can blame me."

Qin Ming originally intended to use force to bring Ye Lingling back, after all, he came from Shrek Academy, where "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."

Bullying the weak is just a tactic he has always used.

But now, facing someone with a powerful background and considerable talent, he dared not use force again.

He immediately spoke, "Who are you? Why are you trying to abduct someone from my Heavenly Dou Royal Academy?"

Qin Ming was very clever; he knew to use the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to suppress Tianxia Wuzei.

After all, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy represents the Heaven Dou royal family, which is the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

However, the person in "No Thieves Under Heaven" is not a real twelve-year-old child, so he naturally understood what the other person was trying to say.

But so what about the Heavenly Dou Empire? "My name is Tianxia Wuzei, their eldest brother." Tianxia Wuzei looked at him with a sneer, then pointed at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

"But you seem to have misunderstood something. It wasn't me who abducted them; it was that they voluntarily joined my team."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming assumed that the thief-free world didn't understand what he meant, and threatened him while explaining.

"There are no thieves under heaven. They are members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. How can they just leave as they please? Are you going to make an enemy of the Heaven Dou Empire by protecting them?!"

"laugh!"

The thief seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and scoffed, "What is the Heaven Dou Empire?! If you're so capable, come and rob us. Besides, who said that joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy makes you a member of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"You!" Qin Ming was speechless.

If what he said is true, joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy makes one a member of the Heaven Dou Empire, then wouldn't Yu Tianheng also be considered a member of the Heaven Dou Empire?
However, they belong to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even the Heavenly Dou Empire wouldn't dare to force them to become members of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Seeing that his threats were ineffective against the "No Thieves Under Heaven" group, Qin Ming immediately turned to Ye Lingling, his tone suddenly becoming stern.

"Lingling, your achievements today are all thanks to the cultivation of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy! Now that you've grown up, you want to be an ingrate?"

The thief-free man didn't stop her; he also wanted to hear the real reason why Ye Lingling withdrew from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

A mocking smile appeared on Ye Lingling's cold face as she looked directly at Qin Ming: "Teacher Qin Ming, doesn't your conscience hurt when you say this? Don't you understand the academy's true purpose in nurturing me?"

"Ye Lingling! Are you trying to rebel?" Qin Ming shouted sternly when he saw Ye Lingling dare to say such things in front of everyone.

The overwhelming pressure of a Soul Emperor suddenly pressed down upon them.

However, the Soul Emperor's oppressive aura was dispersed by a gust of wind, as it turned out that Tianxia Wuzei had made his move.

"Go on," he said calmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt. "With me here, no one can touch you."

Ye Lingling took a deep breath. Since there was no way out, she might as well lay everything out in the open.

"You're in such a hurry to capture me and take me back only because of the Nine-Heart Begonia's healing abilities! You want me to repeat my mother's fate and become a tool of the Heavenly Dou Empire's war!"

Her voice trembled with emotion, "My mother died for the Heavenly Dou Empire, yet she didn't even receive the respect she deserved. Now, you want me to succeed her? Dream on!"

The thief looked at Ye Lingling in surprise, never expecting that this seemingly aloof girl would have such an experience.

However, it is not surprising that such a thing happened.

Although Douluo Continent is related to the fantasy world, its overall style leans more towards feudal society.

The Nine-Heart Begonia possesses group healing abilities, making it a powerful weapon in war and of great strategic significance.

Zhu Zhuqing, standing to the side, unconsciously clenched her fist, a hint of resonance flashing in her eyes.

She never imagined that there was someone else in this world who shared a similar fate.

Qin Ming knew about these things, but he couldn't change them.

However, as Ye Lingling's team leader, if anything goes wrong, the Heavenly Dou Empire will definitely hold him accountable.

As Flander's student, Qin Ming naturally prioritized his own interests.

Therefore, for her own future, Ye Lingling had to stay at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

What does it matter to him whether other people live or die!

Qin Ming's eyes suddenly sharpened, realizing that he couldn't take the person away by force today.

He said in a deep voice, "Lingling, I will seek justice for your mother. But now, you must come back with me."

Ignoring Qin Ming, Tianxia Wuzei turned to Ye Lingling and asked, "Do you want to go back?"

"No, even if I die, I will never return to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy!" Ye Lingling said firmly, she would rather die than live a wretched life.

Having received the answer he wanted, Tianxia Wuzei nodded and stood in front of her, facing the menacing Qin Ming without fear.

"She said she doesn't want to go back, so please leave. Of course, if you disagree, you're welcome to try and see if I can protect her!"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Ming's eyes, and his soul power erupted like a volcano.

"Since you're going to protect her, don't blame me for bullying the weak!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian jokingly said, "Then let's see if you have the ability!"
