Qin Qi returned to his previous daily routine: attending classes and stealing Soul Power.
After class, he went to the Soul Hunting Forest in the afternoon to pick up Soul Rings, then returned at dusk to steal spiritual power.
At night, while sleeping, he peeked into Tang San's memories.
This life continued for a full three months, and Qin Qi's Soul Power rose to level twenty!
It was time to add his second Soul Ring!
"Level twenty. I'll directly seize a Soul Ring and refine it in an instant!"
Qin Qi now had eight thousand-year Soul Rings behind him, the result of his efforts over the past three months.
Things had gone fairly smoothly at first, but the further he went, the fewer Soul Rings he could collect.
The Formless Hand grabbed a Purple Soul Ring and refined it directly. This Soul Ring was added to the Formless Hand.
Once the Soul Ring was added, Qin Qi immediately understood his second soul skill.
"Second soul skill: Danger Sense. As long as there is danger involving me, I'll be vaguely able to sense it."
Qin Qi immediately thought of Spider-Man's Spider-Sense. His was somewhat similar to Spider-Sense.
"With this skill, I won't have to worry about being discovered when I steal things."
"My senses will warn me before I'm discovered."
Qin Qi smiled, then left the academy and headed to the Soul Hunting Forest.
In the Soul Hunting Forest, he summoned the Golden Saint Dragon and absorbed his second Soul Ring.
"Second Soul Ring skill: Elemental Breath."
Qin Qi received the skill from the second Soul Ring in his mind. For the Golden Saint Dragon, this skill was Elemental Breath.
"Roar!"
The Golden Saint Dragon's body had grown twice as large as before. This was the growth it had undergone during this period.
It flew into the air, looked at a huge rock not far away, then opened its mouth and unleashed its breath.
Blue lightning shot toward the boulder like a beam of light, instantly blasting it apart!
A charred mark remained on the ground!
"Elemental Breath is quite powerful. If it absorbs other elements in the future, perhaps it will be able to release breaths of other elements as well."
Qin Qi nodded. This move was not yet complete; at the moment, the Golden Saint Dragon possessed only one attribute.
But once Qin Qi gathered other special sources and replenished the Golden Saint Dragon with them in the future—
The power of Elemental Breath would become even greater!
"For the Golden Saint Dragon, it's Elemental Breath, but for me, it's Elemental Totem."
Qin Qi used his second soul skill. A blue Lightning Dragon appeared around his golden shield.
This dragon had no wings and resembled an ordinary Chinese dragon.
It could not attack on its own. Only when an enemy attacked Qin Qi—
Would it launch a passive counterattack.
"These two sets of skills still form a system. The Golden Saint Dragon's skills are mainly for active attacks."
"My soul skills are mainly defensive."
Qin Qi reached out and stroked the Golden Saint Dragon's head, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
With his current physical strength, spiritual power, and Martial Soul strength—
He could practically dominate anyone at the same level.
"Notting City has more or less done all it can for me."
"Stealing the students' Soul Power has become extremely slow. Each time, it can only raise me by 0.001 levels."
"If I rely solely on stealing from them to improve, it'll take three months to rise one level."
"That efficiency isn't bad for others, but it's far too slow for me."
"I should go somewhere with more Soul Masters."
Qin Qi began considering what to do next.
"Go to an academy?"
"But advanced Soul Master Academies don't accept ordinary people, and Strangers at First Sight isn't very effective against high-level Soul Masters."
"I'll have to wait until I've mastered Familiar at First Sight before leaving this place."
"For now... I'll fleece Yu Xiaogang first. He's a Soul Grandmaster, after all."
Qin Qi had not understood before, but now he had figured out that between Soul Warriors, Soul Masters, and Soul Grandmasters—
The difference was not merely the amount of Soul Power. The quality of Soul Power also changed. That was the fundamental reason why he gained less from stealing from low-level Soul Masters.
After sorting through his gains, Qin Qi wandered around the Soul Hunting Forest for a while. Once he had obtained several White Soul Rings, he returned.
That same night, inside Yu Xiaogang's room.
"That's right, it must be right!"
"Ever since I met that little beast Tang San, my Soul Power has been constantly decreasing!"
"I was level twenty-nine before, but now I'm only level twenty-eight!"
"That bastard really is draining my Soul Power!"
Yu Xiaogang tested his Soul Power, and his expression became extremely ugly.
He had suspected Tang San before. Now, he had evidence.
"No wonder a mere Blue Silver Grass could possess Innate Full Soul Power!"
"So it was stolen!"
"That child who had Innate Level-One Soul Power alongside him may be the real genius!"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly thought of Qin Qi and the record Qin Qi had built up in the academy lately.
How could a Soul Master with merely level-one Soul Power possibly be so powerful?
But if that child had possessed Innate Full Soul Power, only to have his Soul Power stolen later by that evil Tang San—
Just like what was happening to him now, then everything made sense!
"Kill Tang San? No, no, I can't kill him yet."
"Perhaps I can trick Tang San into revealing the method he used to steal Soul Power."
"If I can obtain that method of stealing Soul Power, perhaps I can overcome my shortcomings!"
"I might even be able to replace that trash Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, with a truly powerful Martial Soul!"
"At that time, I will become the true Master Yu Xiaogang!"
"I'll trample every last person who looked down on me beneath my feet!"
That useless Yu Xiaogang had already begun fantasizing about thirty years east of the Star Dou Forest, thirty years west of the Star Dou Forest.
Then he would become a Titled Douluo and return to his family in boundless glory.
At that time, his father would have to kneel and apologize to him, admitting that driving him out of the family had been a mistake!
As Yu Xiaogang fantasized, his door suddenly opened, and a scruffy, bearded man appeared before him.
"Master, it's been a long time."
Tang Hao looked at Master and spoke with a stern expression.
He had originally not planned to reveal himself, but seeing how Master treated Tang San—
He truly could not endure it any longer.
Was this taking care of a child? He was practically treating his son like a dog!
Even when he used to order Tang San around, he had never been this harsh!
"Y-you... you're the Clear Sky Douluo!"
Master recognized Tang Hao at a glance. His legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the floor in terror.
At that instant, he suddenly recalled the rumors spreading across the continent.
Tang Hao, heir of the Clear Sky Sect, had coupled with a Soul Beast and fathered a child!
Could that child be Tang San?
Blue Silver Grass, a worthless weed Martial Soul—but what if this Blue Silver Grass could absorb other people's Soul Power?
If Tang San was the son of the man before him, then he was a half-human, half-Soul Beast mongrel!
Perhaps he possessed such an evil talent!
After all, this was a mongrel born from a human and a Soul Beast, something that had never appeared on the continent before!
"Could it be that Tang Hao knows I discovered Tang San's secret, and he's here to kill me and silence me?"
Master stared at Tang Hao in utter terror. His legs were weak, and he was so frightened that he could not stand at all!
At that moment, Tang Hao's slovenly figure looked like the Grim Reaper before him!
