Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Fasinuo Province, Holy Soul Village.
[Loading successful! Congratulations to the host for acquiring the talent skill: Empty Handed!]
Six years, do you know how I survived these past six years?
Hearing the long-absent voice of the system, Xia Yuan was stunned at first, followed by a burst of wild joy.
The last time he heard the system's voice was the very last time.
Back then, the system only said "Loading talent skill for the host, please wait" and never sounded again.
For so many years, Xia Yuan even thought that time was just a dream of his.
Now, the system had finally appeared again.
However, what kind of effect did this talent skill given by the system have?
Xia Yuan looked at the system panel in front of him that only he could see.
[Empty Handed, nothing cannot be stolen! The skill can be used once a day. The skill success rate depends on the cultivation and gap between the host and the target.] [After the skill is activated, a duplication of a designated target within a certain range of the host will be performed, with a small chance for the duplication to turn into a steal.] [The skill has a very small chance to trigger a lucky critical hit.] [Congratulations on obtaining the novice gift bag, today's skill usage opportunities become three times! Using the skill today will greatly increase the skill success rate and slightly increase the chance of triggering a lucky critical hit!]
Just this? Xia Yuan was somewhat disappointed.
He had expected some overpowered Martial Soul, or some incredibly strong talent.
After all that, he still had to steal it himself.
Looking around, Xia Yuan's gaze gradually locked onto Tang San at the very back of the line.
Right now, they were in the middle of the Martial Soul awakening ceremony.
Since the success rate and yield of the skill also depended on the gap between the two parties, the most cost-effective target in Holy Soul Village was naturally Tang San.
Anyway, he could steal three times today, so he might as well try it out right here.
Use Empty Handed on Tang San! Xia Yuan looked at Tang San and gave the order secretly in his heart.
[Using Empty Handed on target Tang San...] [Empty Handed judgment in progress... Judgment successful!] [Congratulations! Steal triggered! Lucky critical hit triggered!] [This time stealing from Tang San obtained: Innate Soul Power Rank 10!] [Confirm stealing?]
"Holy cow!" Xia Yuan almost jumped up. "Confirm stealing!"
Although he had thought about what he could get from Tang San, he never expected that even things like Innate Soul Power could be stolen!
However... since Innate Soul Power could be stolen, what about Martial Souls? Soul Bones or even Soul Rings?
And if he stole this rank 10 Innate Soul Power, would Tang San still have that rank 10 Innate Soul Power?
You must know that Tang San had a malevolent mutation caused by a Martial Soul conflict, and only cultivated Innate Full Soul Power by relying on the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
No matter what, he would find out a moment later after the Martial Soul awakening finished.
Should he try stealing one more time?
Xia Yuan fell into deep thought.
He didn't know what his Martial Soul was, but there was a high probability it would be Blue Silver Grass.
Because his deceased parents were Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls without Innate Soul Power.
After a moment, Xia Yuan still abandoned this idea.
He decided to save the second opportunity for Tang Hao, to see what kind of things he could steal given the huge cultivation gap between himself and a Title Douluo.
If he still couldn't steal anything good in the state of increased skill success rate, he would leave all the remaining opportunities for today to Tang San.
"Next!"
Following Su Yuntao's shout, Xia Yuan came back to his senses and walked forward.
"Extend your right hand," Su Yuntao said.
Xia Yuan extended his right hand as told.
The next moment, a pale blue little grass appeared in his hand.
As expected, it's Blue Silver Grass, Xia Yuan sighed inwardly.
This appearance was precisely the Blue Silver Grass that could be seen everywhere in the village.
"Blue Silver Grass, trash Martial Soul," Su Yuntao announced.
Strange, why does it feel like his commotion is even bigger than everyone else's? He muttered, and absentmindedly handed over the soul power testing crystal ball.
Although Blue Silver Grass was a trash Martial Soul, there was a high probability it had no innate soul power accompanying it.
But Xia Yuan's commotion was unlike anything anyone had seen before.
What if?
Xia Yuan pressed his palm against the crystal ball, and in an instant, the crystal ball burst with a sapphire-blue glow.
"Good heavens, this, this... is actually Innate Full Soul Power?" Su Yuntao stood somewhat dazed.
Blue Silver Grass and Innate Full Soul Power—were these two things that could ever be combined?
"Uncle, what is Innate Full Soul Power?" A voice came from behind.
Su Yuntao looked over, and the one asking the question was Tang San, who stood at the very end of the line.
Tang San looked at Su Yuntao and Xia Yuan, who had already withdrawn his palm, feeling an inexplicable sensation in his heart, as if he had lost something.
After Su Yuntao explained what Innate Full Soul Power was, the gazes everyone cast toward Xia Yuan were instantly filled with envy.
Regardless of what his Martial Soul was, he after all possessed Soul Power!
And it was even Innate Full Soul Power; he only needed to acquire a soul ring to become a superior Lord Soul Master!
Tang San's thoughts raced. He had practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill internal energy since childhood and had been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time. In this world, would that turn into Soul Power?
Soon, Su Yuntao began awakening Martial Souls once again.
Yet to his disappointment, not a single person after that managed to awaken with Innate Soul Power.
The line quickly reached Tang San, who was at the very back.
Xia Yuan also looked toward Tang San.
He wanted to see whether, after having his ten levels of Innate Soul Power stolen by him, Tang San still possessed Innate Soul Power.
"Blue Silver Grass, a trash Martial Soul." Su Yuntao announced Tang San's Martial Soul with a hint of disappointment.
And the commotion of Tang San's Martial Soul awakening looked no different from those of the people before him.
Yet Tang San refused to give up, still pestering Su Yuntao to test his Innate Soul Power for him.
The moment Tang San placed his palm upon the crystal ball, a miraculous sight... did not occur.
The crystal ball looked completely quiet, seemingly without the slightest reaction.
"How is this possible?!" Tang San instinctively blurted out in shock.
He had just been certain that the Mysterious Heaven Skill internal energy he cultivated ought to be the Soul Power of this world, yet the test result was that he possessed not the slightest bit of Innate Soul Power?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Child, I will tell you in the most straightforward, objective, correct, concise, direct, easiest-to-understand, and spoiler-free manner: having no Innate Soul Power means having no Innate Soul Power."
Su Yuntao cast a somewhat pitying glance at Tang San.
This child was crazy.
"Uncle, let me test it one more time!" Tang San pleaded, "I definitely have Innate Soul Power!"
Seeing Tang San's imploring expression, Su Yuntao sighed. "Fine, I will let you test it one more time."
This time, Tang San directly urged the Mysterious Heaven Skill, and the crystal ball actually did light up just a tiny bit.
Su Yuntao was somewhat surprised; this unexpected situation had genuinely occurred!
Yet looking at the brightness of this crystal ball... He patted Tang San's shoulder and shook his head.
"Innate Half-Level Soul Power."
Tang San's expression instantly turned ashen.
Half a level—how could it be half a level?
