Douluo: I, Unrivaled Thief, Explosive King Returns

However, once a mark was left on the target's soul, unless their spiritual power was strong enough to directly erase the Wind Seal, it would follow them for life.

As long as Unrivaled Thief activated the Wind Domain, anyone marked by the Wind Seal would be instantly detected if they were within the domain.

Did you think that was all?

How could a soul skill that even the level ninety-seven Mighty Lion Douluo called underhanded be limited to just that?

Unrivaled Thief fused his third soul skill with the Wind Domain. So long as a marked target was within the domain, he could instantly move to their side or swap places with them.

Moreover, when the third soul skill and Wind Domain were used together, everyone within the domain would instantly receive a temporary Wind Seal mark.

Combined with the Overlord Wind-Chasing Fist and its derivative moves, tell me, wasn't that underhanded?

After choosing their location, Unrivaled Thief led the others toward the hotel where Shrek was staying.

The town was not large. Two or three minutes later, they arrived before a two-story hotel.

The moment they arrived, Unrivaled Thief saw a middle-aged man in his forties with slicked-back hair leading six men and one woman dressed in moon-white soul master robes into the hotel.

"People from Canghui Academy? Looks like I arrived at just the right time!"

The corners of Unrivaled Thief's lips curled up as he led Rebel Son and the others toward the hotel entrance.

Inside the hotel, Ma Hongjun stared lecherously at the girl from Canghui Academy without the slightest attempt to hide it.

"This chick looks pretty good. Her figure's even better than those two twins of yours, Boss Dai! But these guys are from Canghui Academy, right?"

At the mention of the twins, Dai Mubai immediately recalled some unpleasant memories and said resentfully, "Canghui Academy? They're nothing but shit!"

The moment those words came out, all eight members of Canghui Academy turned their gazes toward him.

Seeing this, Oscar grinned. "Hehe, looks like there's a good show coming."

"What good show?" Tang San asked in confusion.

"This is also part of our daily training." Oscar was quite proud of it and treated it as a goal. "Dean Flender once said that a soul master who doesn't dare cause trouble isn't a good soul master. As the saying goes, those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities."

"Those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities?!" Tang San silently repeated the words, and a light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

At that moment, several sharp slaps rang out from the hotel entrance.

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw several figures blocking the doorway.

"What a fine saying—'Those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities.'"

Unrivaled Thief's voice drilled into everyone's ears, filled with mockery and hidden killing intent.

"Then are you ready to be provoked?"

Before his words had even faded, his figure suddenly blurred and vanished from where he stood.

The next instant.

"Boom!" A deafening explosion shook the entire hotel!

Ma Hongjun's fat head was pressed down by one hand and savagely smashed into the tabletop. The entire table exploded beneath the terrifying impact!

Wood splinters sprayed out like torrential rain, sharp fragments grazing past Tang San and the others' faces and leaving thin trails of blood!

Beating Down Shrek, Facing Zhao Wuji

The terrifying force abruptly sent Dai Mubai, Oscar, Tang San, and Xiao Wu flying.

With one hand pressing down on the back of Ma Hongjun's head, Unrivaled Thief brutally slammed him into the hard floor of the shattered hotel.

Half of Ma Hongjun's head was embedded in the ground. His nose bridge caved in on the spot, and blood gushed from his nose.

He lay on the ground twitching like a dead fish, unable even to scream in time.

No one in the hotel had expected a fight to suddenly break out.

The Canghui Academy group, who had originally been preparing to make a move against Shrek, stood dumbfounded. This sudden change had completely ruined their plans.

Ye Zhiqiu, Canghui Academy's leading teacher, was a Soul King. At that moment, his eyes were full of shock, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

Because even with the strength of a Soul King, he could not catch sight of Unrivaled Thief's movements.

"Fatty!"

Dai Mubai was the first to react. With an angry roar, the White Tiger martial soul instantly possessed him.

The purple Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly lit up as he unleashed his third soul skill, White Tiger Adamant Transformation.

His muscles swelled like an iron tower in an instant. Like a ferocious tiger, he pounced forward, his tiger claw striking straight at Unrivaled Thief's head.

Yet it was as if Unrivaled Thief had eyes in the back of his head. He tilted his head slightly and easily dodged.

"Slap!"

Without even turning around, he backhanded Dai Mubai squarely across the face. The crisp sound of the slap exploded through the hotel.

Dai Mubai was sent spinning through the air three times before crashing heavily to the floor.

Half his face swelled up like a pig's head, a scarlet palm print glaringly visible. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and several teeth had been loosened.

"Young Master Dai, your skin sure is thick. My hand hurts from slapping you."

Unrivaled Thief shook his wrist, his tone frivolous, as though he were the injured one.

The moment Xiao Wu saw Unrivaled Thief, she flew into a rage. "You're the bastard who hurt Xiao San! Let this auntie teach you a lesson!"

Her mind had long been clouded by love, and she had completely forgotten the gap in their strength. Turning into a streak of pink light, she charged at him from side to side.

But in Unrivaled Thief's eyes, every one of her movements was crystal clear.

"First soul skill, Waist Bow!"

Xiao Wu appeared at Unrivaled Thief's side. Her whole body leaped into the air, her waist driving her hips as her long leg lashed out like a whip, causing the air to boom.

"Slap!"

Unrivaled Thief raised a hand and effortlessly caught her ankle. His body did not move even an inch.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Without the slightest mercy for a pretty face, he violently swung his arm and smashed Xiao Wu into the ground from left to right.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San's eyes nearly split apart, the Hidden Weapons in his sleeves ready to fire.

Unrivaled Thief looked at the unconscious Xiao Wu, swung his arm, and tossed her outside the hotel like a piece of trash.

Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot as he panted like a bull. Abandoning his attack, he used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and rushed toward Xiao Wu.

Before Xiao Wu hit the ground, he leaped forward and caught her in his arms.

Unrivaled Thief did not hurry to deal with Tang San. Instead, he turned and glanced at Oscar.

"I-I didn't do anything! Don't, don't hit me! I-I'm just a useless support-type soul master."

Oscar's legs shook like sieves, his voice trembling with tears. He nearly curled into a ball, wishing he could crawl beneath a table.

Unrivaled Thief looked him over mockingly. "So what? Didn't you say it yourself? 'Those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities.' I don't want to be mediocre. Is there a problem with me attacking you?"

He had no intention of showing mercy to someone with such a warped worldview.

He punched Oscar in the face. His nose collapsed and his teeth sank in, instantly turning his fairly handsome face into an unrecognizable mess. He fainted on the spot.

Barely a dozen seconds had passed since Shrek had been defeated, and the hotel was deathly silent.

Unrivaled Thief ignored everyone. He stepped on Ma Hongjun's head and ground his sole down, pressing his head deeper into the dirt.

For the murderer who had killed the parents of the four brothers, Unrivaled Thief had no intention of letting him die easily.

"What? Weren't you acting tough and itching to fight just now? Why aren't you shouting now?"

Unrivaled Thief sneered and pressed down with his foot. Ma Hongjun, who had been playing dead, immediately let out a pig-like shriek.

Then his gaze fell on Dai Mubai, and he sneered. "Dai Mubai, aren't you Tang San's slave? Why aren't you stepping up now and winning back some face for your master?"

Dai Mubai's face turned ashen. His fists clenched until they crackled, yet he did not dare move.

Because his instincts told him that if he dared attack, he would be beaten into a folding screen the next second.

"Heh, trash."

Seeing him act like that, Unrivaled Thief insulted him without holding back.

Seeing Dai Mubai's cowardly appearance, Zhu Zhuqing felt fortunate about the choice she had made more than half a month ago.

Seeing that someone was still able to hold back, Unrivaled Thief continued grinding his foot. Ma Hongjun flailed his arms and legs wildly, but could not make a sound.

"Stop!"

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji on the second floor finally could not hold back any longer. Soul Power at the Soul Saint level erupted, and seven Soul Rings lit up at once.

"You little bastard, you're courting death!"

Zhao Wuji leaped down from the second floor. The phantom of the Great Strength Vajra Bear appeared behind him as he struck his palm toward Unrivaled Thief.

Unrivaled Thief did not act arrogantly. He immediately used his third soul skill and appeared in front of Dai Mubai.

After all, Dai Mubai also had a Wind Seal carved onto him.

"What?!" Dai Mubai had no time to react to Unrivaled Thief suddenly appearing before him.

With a bang, his entire body flew backward from the hotel entrance like a cannonball.

Outside the hotel, Tang San, who was holding Xiao Wu, heard the howling wind and abruptly looked up.

A white figure tore through the air and smashed directly into him, sending him flying.

Xiao Wu was thrown high into the air, then hit the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Xiao Wu!" Tang San scrambled over in a panic, heartbroken.

Zhao Wuji's face darkened. He had not expected Unrivaled Thief to still dare attack Dai Mubai after he had stepped in.

This was simply showing no respect for him, the Immovable Ming King!

"You little bastard, die!"

As he spoke, he raised a palm and struck at Unrivaled Thief, clearly using Soul Power at the Soul Emperor level.

The only reason he had not attacked with full force was because he feared the Soul Douluo who had stopped him that day.

This time, Unrivaled Thief did not dodge. Instead, he sent a voice transmission to Ning Rongrong.

"Ning Rongrong, support me!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately lit up. She understood that this was the moment to show her worth.

Two yellow Soul Rings on her body suddenly lit up, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in her right hand shone brilliantly.

"Seven Treasures turn forth with glassy light: first, strength; second, speed!"

Two beams of light descended upon Unrivaled Thief, instantly completing the enhancement.

Though Unrivaled Thief knew the degree of enhancement provided by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, this was still his first time receiving it.

An endless stream of power surged through his body, making his muscles swell slightly as faint crackling sounds came from his bones.

Zhao Wuji's fist wind had arrived. The air was compressed into a piercing shriek, and the pressure bore down like Mount Tai.

A cold gleam flashed in Unrivaled Thief's eyes. His left fist suddenly clenched as Soul Power and azure airflow converged on its edge.

"Overlord Wind-Chasing Fist!"

"Boom!"

The instant the two fists collided, violent Soul Power surged and exploded.

A visible shockwave burst outward from the two of them. Tables, chairs, bowls, and plates throughout the hotel were instantly sent flying, while cracks spread across the walls with sharp cracks.

The ordinary people were knocked onto their butts by the impact. Even the soul masters from Canghui Academy were forced back again and again, nearly falling to the ground.

Ye Zhiqiu, as a Soul King, barely managed to steady himself. Watching the scene before him, his pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with shock.

This kid clearly only has level forty Soul Power, yet he can withstand an attack from a Soul Saint head-on?!

Joining Forces Against Zhao Wuji, Tang San Reveals Hidden Weapons

The sleeve on Unrivaled Thief's right arm shattered inch by inch, exposing an arm with bulging veins.

Yet Zhao Wuji's fist was also forcibly stopped in midair, unable to advance another inch!
