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

Chapter 77 Pretending to be struck by lightning
"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!"

Tang San launched the first attack, and the Blue Silver Grass suddenly shone brightly, its vines sweeping out like a tidal wave.

Yu Tianheng had some understanding of Tang San, and knew that the latter's Blue Silver Grass possessed extraordinary toughness and toxicity.

Before Blue Silver Grass could get close, the lightning on Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex exploded behind him, causing a devastating storm.

He swung his claws several times, and bolts of lightning, accompanied by the roar of a dragon, struck the incoming wave of blue silver grass.

"Boom!"

The ground instantly cracked open with spiderweb-like scorch marks, and the Blue Silver Grass turned pitch black under the lightning, turning into a handful of black ash that floated away.

"Tang San, although your Blue Silver Grass is far more resilient than other Blue Silver Grasses, it is still just a withered weed under my lightning!"

Although Yu Tianheng suppressed Tang San, he did not rashly launch a close-range attack.

After all, he had just learned from Dai Mubai that Tang San was a person who would use underhanded methods.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul is the number one beast Martial Soul in the world, with strong close combat capabilities and equally formidable long-range combat abilities.

Yu Tianheng suddenly raised his right arm high, his five fingers clenching in mid-air like claws.

In an instant, thunderclouds surged above the dome, and blinding lightning condensed into a dazzling ball of lightning in his palm.

"fall!"

With a loud shout, his arm slashed down like a battle axe.

Dozens of lightning bolts, each as thick as a bowl, tore through the sky and crashed down on Tang San with deafening roars.

Tang San's pupils shrank sharply, and he instantly unleashed the Ghost Shadow Step to its fullest extent.

His figure left seven afterimages on the training field in an instant, each dodging the falling lightning with a narrow escape.

But under Yu Tianheng's command, those lightning bolts were like a persistent, malignant sore, drawing strange arcs in the air and relentlessly pursuing him.

"Boom!"

Six consecutive lightning strikes blasted the granite ground into flying fragments, leaving charred craters emitting black smoke.

Tang San broke out in a cold sweat. He had become quite rusty from focusing on adding spirit rings to the Clear Sky Hammer these past few days.

Or perhaps, the Ghostly Shadow technique is ill-suited for combat against stronger opponents.

Just as he dodged the sixth bolt of lightning, the seventh bolt of purple lightning suddenly changed direction.

A blinding flash of electricity grazed his left shoulder, sending fabric flying and revealing the charred, rolled-up flesh beneath.

The blood was dried by the high temperature before it could seep out, and the air was immediately filled with the pungent smell of burnt flesh.

Outside the training ground, the Royal Fighting Team members began to mock them.

"Ha, with this little bit of skill, he dares to compete for the captain's position? I really don't understand where he gets the courage!"

Ma Hongjun's fat cheeks twitched as he echoed, "After all, some people are used to using underhanded tricks, so of course they can't take a direct beating!"

Upon hearing this, Oslo scoffed, "The Continental Elite Tournament for Advanced Soul Master Academies doesn't allow weapons; it's all about raw strength. What makes you think he could resort to underhanded tricks?!"

Xiao Wu glared at the people who were mocking her.

"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant people. Wait until you know the secret of Xiao San's twin martial souls, then let's see if you'll still be laughing!"

"Damn it, we can't stay passive like this! After all, the general principles of the Xuan Tian Treasure Record say that you should never try to play dumb to fool others, or you might really become a pig!"

Actually, he was angry because of everyone's ridicule. Saying that he was pretending to be weak was just a way for him to save face.

Tang San's eyes flashed purple as he dodged, his hand swiftly slicing across the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlight.

"Shhhhhh!"

In an instant, dozens of cold lights flashed out, cunningly aiming at Yu Tianheng's vital points.

"So they really came!"

Yu Tianheng was prepared for Tang San's hidden weapon and immediately unleashed a burst of lightning.

"Zizzizi!"

Tang San's weak hidden weapons were forced to hover in the air due to the electricity, unable to advance even an inch.

Seeing this, the thief on the mountain sneered, "Hidden weapons are indeed not up to par. If they can't catch you off guard, conventional hidden weapons can only cause some disruption."

He knew that Tang San had many powerful hidden weapons, but the materials for those weapons were hard to find and difficult to mass-produce.

However, Tang San's current situation makes it difficult to even find the materials to make hidden weapons.

"Um?!"

At that moment, the Wind Domain granted Tianxia Wuzei almost godlike vision, instantly capturing Tang San's thoughts.

Although he kept getting closer to Yu Tianheng every time he used a hidden weapon, seemingly wanting to fight in close combat, "Is he going to use the Clear Sky Hammer?" Tianxia Wuzei took a serious look, wanting to see just how powerful Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer's first soul skill really was.

On the training ground, Tang San seized the opportunity when lightning struck and instantly closed in.

What surprised Tianxia Wuzei was that he did not use the Haotian Hammer.

His hands instantly became as smooth as jade, and he used his palms as knives to cleave down at Yu Tianheng.

"How arrogant! Does he really think that just because he added a spirit ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, he's invincible among those of the same realm? Yu Tianheng is, after all, someone who possesses what's known as the strongest beast spirit; how could his close-combat strength be weak?!"

Not only him, but also the members of the Royal Fighting Team and Dai Mubai and his two companions in the training ground all made sarcastic remarks.

"You're courting death! How dare you engage the boss in close combat!"

Lightning surged in Yu Tianheng's eyes, and his dragon-transformed right arm was wrapped in raging electric snakes, emitting a teeth-grinding crackling sound.

He met the oncoming black jade hand with a fierce claw strike.

"clang!"

Amidst a deafening clang like metal clashing, blinding sparks flew everywhere.

Spiderweb-like cracks instantly spread across the surface of the Xuan Yu Hand, and Tang San's entire arm trembled violently.

"Defeat him! First Soul Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"

With Yu Tianheng's furious shout, the dragon claw suddenly tightened.

Blinding lightning bolts surged wildly along Tang San's arm, enveloping his entire body in a raging current.

"what!"

Tang San's hair stood on end, tiny sparks of electricity crackled across his skin, wisps of black smoke rose from his lips, and he let out a painful groan.

Yu Tianheng swung his arm and slammed Tang San to the ground like a sandbag.

At this critical moment, Tang San's legs suddenly became firmly rooted like the roots of an old tree, and his hands drew mysterious arcs.

"Controlling the crane to capture the dragon!"

Yu Tianheng felt a sudden, skillful force, which sent him flying into the air.

He performed a graceful somersault in the air and landed steadily, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"What a brilliant move, using minimal force to overcome great strength! But with just that, you still can't defeat me!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tianxia Wuzei, who was watching the battle from the mountaintop, suddenly burst out with a sneer.

"Opening champagne at halftime is not a good habit. They've already fallen into someone's trap, and they're still spouting nonsense. These people are really something."

Sure enough, Tang San on the training field revealed a wicked smile.

"Click!"

Suddenly, countless cracks appeared in the ground around Yu Tianheng, and dozens of vines shot out like venomous snakes, instantly binding his legs.

Tang San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile: "First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Grass Entanglement!"

"That's all you have?"

Yu Tianheng struggled desperately, only to find that these vines were even tougher than refined iron.

In the instant he was stunned, Tang San made a slash across the Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moonlit Night, and the Zhuge Divine Crossbow appeared in his hand.

"Yu Tianheng, I'm more suited to be the captain. After all, I'm stronger than you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge's crossbow fired dozens of deadly arrows, the sound of them piercing the air sharp and shrill.

"Boss, watch out!" The Royal Fighting Team members were furious, but they were powerless to help.

"Puff puff!"

Several dazzling bursts of blood erupted from Yu Tianheng's body instantly, and the immense impact sent him flying backward, leaving a shocking trail of blood on the training field.

Tang San burst into triumphant laughter.

"Hahaha, I'm definitely the most suitable person to be the captain!"

The bandits on the mountain were speechless at his arrogance.

"Damn, why do these guys always like to pop champagne halfway through the game to show off? Don't they know that showing off might get them struck by lightning?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a thunderclap resounded across the training ground.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket suddenly struck down, hitting Tang San precisely!
