Douluo Dalu: Stealing Through The Heavens

Douluo Continent, Nuoding City.

In the small forest behind the student dormitory of Nuoding Academy.

Suddenly, the surrounding space distorted. A young man dressed in black tight-fitting clothing with long blue-silver hair emerged from the distorted space and landed steadily on the ground—well, more specifically, his butt landed first.

If that old rabbit were here, she would surely recognize him as Zuzong.

"Ouch! Damn system, will you only be happy if you kill me?"

[Ding, it's the host who is too weak.]

"Damn, you know I've exhausted my soul power, yet you still mess with me?"

[Ding, it's the host's own fault for trying to act cool like some hot-blooded protagonist.]

"I wasn't trying to act cool! I was... Ah, forget it. I need to recover my soul power first."

As he spoke, Zuzong sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate. Although "Scumbag Master" had a questionable character, his "Soul Power Meditation Technique" was quite effective. In just half an hour, Zuzong had recovered most of his soul power.

Stretching lazily, Zuzong stood up and exclaimed, "Ah! That feels so good! It's like I've come back to life. Hmm? What's this?"

At the same time, a notification sounded in Zuzong's mind.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching Level 15 soul power, granting one steal attempt.]

"That was easy? It wasn't long ago that I leveled up to 14!"

Zuzong had absorbed a soul ring two days ago, and in a leap of progress, had jumped from level 10 straight to level 14.

Unexpectedly, after taking a stroll around the Dou Qi Continent and nurturing the meridians of the little Xun'er, he had leveled up again. It was quite astonishing.

"System, open my personal status panel."

"Leveling up soul power by one level and increasing my basic strength by 20, not bad." Among the low-level soul masters in Douluo Continent, unless one side had an additional soul ring over the other, the difference in levels wasn't very significant, mainly just having slightly more robust soul power. Zuzong's increase of 20 in basic strength was quite impressive. His fundamental strength was already on par with a Soul Elder without a thousand-year soul ring.

"Wait a minute, did I see that right? What on earth is the 'Extreme Flame Blue Silver Emperor'?"

[Ding, as the host was nurturing Xiao Xun'er's meridians, the Blue Silver Emperor accidentally absorbed a trace of sub-flame energy from the Gold Emperor Incinerating Heavenly Flame, causing a mutation.]

"So that's it! I remember the original work mentioning that the Blue Silver Emperor has some sort of devouring ability. Let me try it."

As he spoke, Zuzong gathered soul power in his right hand. A faint white light appeared on the surface of his skin, followed by deep blue Blue Silver Grass surging out of his palm. A clear yellow soul ring rose from his feet, circling up and down around his body.

"First Soul Skill—Poison Dragon Entanglement."

Zuzong formed a few strange hand signs with his hands. The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and dozens of Blue Silver Emperor vines, each as thick as a bowl, sprouted, quickly wrapping around a large tree in front of him that required two people to hug.

The scales on the surface of the Blue Silver Emperor vines gradually turned red. As soon as the tree trunk touched the vines, white smoke rose, and the smell of burning filled the air. It was caused by the high-temperature scales covering the surface of the Blue Silver Emperor vines. Or rather, now it should be called the Extreme Flame Blue Silver Emperor.

"Devour."

As he shouted the word "Devour," red liquid oozed from the scales on the surface of the Blue Silver Emperor vines. Unlike the previously purple corrosive poison, it looked like magma, but unlike magma, it didn't solidify. As soon as it made contact with the tree trunk, in the blink of an eye, the tree collapsed, the cut surface charred black. Upon closer inspection, a section of the tree trunk was visibly missing.

"Oh my, this is no longer just poison! This is an enhanced version of 'Corpse Dissolving Water'! If someone is trapped by this, even a Soul Elder might fall victim to it. The corrosive poison has turned into a highly aggressive fire poison."

Of course, this was assuming Zuzong could catch a Soul Elder, considering their martial souls were no joke.

Gathering soul power in his right hand again, Zuzong summoned another Blue Silver Emperor and sighed in relief, "Fortunately, if I don't use my soul skills, it's still the original Blue Silver Emperor. Otherwise, that greedy old rabbit would be cursing up a storm."

[Ding, detected that the host has 14 remaining steal attempts. Would you like to use one now?]

"Let's steal! I refuse to believe I'll be as unlucky as last time."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing the Three Basic Techniques (Substitution, Transformation, and Clone Techniques) from Kabuto of the Naruto world. Kabuto's hatred towards the host has increased to 1%, hatred points increased by 10.]

"Not bad! The Three Basic Techniques can be lifesavers in critical situations. But the hatred points are quite low!"

[Ding, since Kabuto inherited everything from Orochimaru and evolved into Sage Kabuto, greatly increasing his strength, these E-rank ninja techniques are insignificant to him.]

Zuzong nodded, "That makes sense. Kabuto is probably still lost in his own world. Without Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan casting Izanami, I wonder how it will end."

[Ding, when the host stole Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan and physical techniques, Itachi had just died. If Uchiha Itachi is resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation, there's a high chance he'll regain his peak strength.]

"I see, so when he revives and sees Sasuke as a blind man, won't he hate me to death?"

[Ding, very likely!]

"Oh, well, if I get forcibly teleported to his world, I'll just hide as far away as possible. I can't deal with Izanami."

Meanwhile, in the Naruto world, at an underground location near the border of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth.

Kabuto extended his tongue, as disgusting as Orochimaru's, to lick his lips. Suddenly, a strange sensation surged in his mind.

Kabuto frowned and muttered to himself, "Huh? What is this feeling? I feel like I've forgotten something!" But his brows soon relaxed again. "Well, whatever it is, it's probably not important. I should focus on reviving Uchiha Itachi with the Impure World Reincarnation. I'm really looking forward to seeing the brothers' reunion, hahaha."

In just a short moment, Zuzong had fully mastered the Three Basic Techniques he had stolen.

"System, continue to steal."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing a bottle of water from the Zimu River in the Woman Kingdom from the Journey to the West. Since the Zimu River is ownerless, the host gains no hatred points.]

"Water from the Zimu River?"

Zuzong's eyes lit up. This was the kind of water that could make anyone who drank it pregnant! A must-have for pranks while traveling!

Thinking of this, several names of potential victims popped into Zuzong's mind: Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai.
