"Clear Sky Hammer!"
"This is more like it!"
"Why did I just casually reach out and pick up something like this?!"
Qin Qi strained to hold the Clear Sky Hammer, but the thing was simply too heavy.
With his current strength, he could not hold it at all. After enduring for a moment, it still fell to the ground.
"Refine it, I have to refine it!"
"I already picked it up. I can't just throw it away, can I?"
Qin Qi looked at the Clear Sky Hammer he had stolen, unwilling to discard it.
He flipped through the Thieving Heaven Inheritance and quickly found a solution: Thieving Heaven Killer Move Steal!
"This move is meant for Gu worms. Once stolen, they can be refined in an instant."
"I wonder if it works on Martial Souls."
Qin Qi was somewhat uncertain. First, he had no Gu worms, so he did not know whether he could activate the killer move.
Second, this was his first time using the killer move, and he did not know whether it would succeed.
If it did not work, then he could only abandon the Clear Sky Hammer.
With that thought in mind, Qin Qi used Formless Hand to activate Thieving Heaven Killer Move Steal.
He grabbed the Clear Sky Hammer in one motion and refined it in an instant!
A mark of the Clear Sky Hammer appeared on the back of Qin Qi's right hand. From this day onward, this Martial Soul belonged to him!
"Even though this world has no Gu worms, I can still use Thieving Heaven Killer Moves with my Formless Hand."
Qin Qi's Formless Hand seemed to contain all the profound mysteries of the Thieving Dao.
Originally, killer moves from the Gu World required Gu worms to cooperate, but here, Formless Hand seemed to have replaced the Gu worms.
Qin Qi suddenly thought of a Gu worm called Counterfeit Gu, one that could transform into all kinds of Gu worms.
At this moment, his Formless Hand was especially similar to Counterfeit Gu.
"But the consumption is way too high!"
"I only stole a little something, and my Soul Power is already drained."
Qin Qi sensed the Soul Power in his body. One use of Formless Hand and one Heart Steal had directly exhausted all his Soul Power.
Though he did not have much Soul Power to begin with.
"I can slowly steal Soul Power later. After all, Tang San has Innate Full Soul Power, plus the support of the Mysterious Heaven Skill."
"That's enough for me to fleece him. If that doesn't work, there's still Tang Hao. A Titled Douluo is enough to feed me until I'm full."
When Qin Qi thought of Tang Hao, hesitation flashed through his eyes. He was not sure whether his Formless Hand could evade Tang Hao's perception.
After all, although Formless Hand was said to be formless and invisible.
If the difference in strength was too great, the other party might still discover it.
"To be safe, I'd better not steal from Tang Hao. I can do it after I become stronger."
Qin Qi silently told himself.
"I can steal from Tang San when it comes to cultivation, but I need to think of something for combat."
"The Clear Sky Hammer is certainly a powerful Martial Soul, but using it now would just be asking to get hammered."
"My Formless Hand's frontal combat strength is practically nonexistent right now. I need to find a Martial Soul that can fight."
"And it needs to have high potential, something worth nurturing."
As Qin Qi pondered, he suddenly thought of Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao. Although Luo Sanpao was only a pig now.
If he stole it, then stole some suitable Martial Souls afterward, he might be able to nurture Luo Sanpao into a Golden Saint Dragon.
"And Luo Sanpao is an External Beast Martial Soul. When it comes time to fight—"
"Luo Sanpao can fight at the front while I steal from the rear with Formless Hand. Perfect!"
The more Qin Qi thought about it, the more excited he became. The best part of this plan was that Yu Xiaogang was a complete useless waste.
He was already fifty, yet only in his twenties in rank. No strength, no spiritual power.
The chance of that old bastard discovering his Formless Hand was infinitely close to zero!
While Qin Qi was studying Formless Hand, Old Jack suddenly came looking for him.
"Little Qin Qi, you know that once you have Soul Power, you can go to the city to attend school, right?"
Old Jack walked over to Qin Qi and spoke.
"I know, but doesn't our village only have one spot?"
Qin Qi looked at Old Jack, worry showing in his eyes. It seemed now—
That spot in the village would most likely go to Tang San. After all, he only had first-rank Soul Power, while Tang San had Innate Full Soul Power.
But he needed to attend school too. The question was how he could get in.
"You don't need to worry about that. This village chief grandfather of yours still has some influence."
"I'll discuss it with the village chiefs from other villages and ask them to lend us a spot."
"We can return it to them next year, or sometime later."
Old Jack had already thought it through. Each of these villages had one work-study student spot every year.
But most of the time, they could not find suitable candidates, so the spots were basically wasted every year.
Borrowing one now would not be difficult.
"Not the spot, then why did you come looking for me, Village Chief Grandpa?"
Qin Qi let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Old Jack was a good person. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble.
"I mainly came to tell you about the city, so you can be prepared."
"I already told Xiao San earlier. Now I'll tell you too."
Old Jack began talking about the city and the things Qin Qi needed to pay attention to after going to school.
Inside Tang San's home, Tang San told Tang Hao about his Innate Full Soul Power.
"Hmph, even Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Soul Power is still trash."
"Don't even think about going to school. Just stay in the village obediently."
Tang Hao was drunk. Upon hearing Blue Silver Grass, his eyes became slightly clearer.
But after recalling the past, his gaze dimmed once more.
"But Dad, I think I have another Martial Soul."
Tang San raised his other hand. When he awakened his Martial Soul, he had vaguely sensed that he possessed another one.
But after the Martial Soul awakening ended, he could no longer sense it. He did not understand why.
"Another Martial Soul!"
"Let me see it!"
Tang Hao abruptly sat up, divine light bursting from his eyes as he thought of something.
Tang San was the son of Ah Yin and him. He had inherited Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass.
Then he would definitely have inherited Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer as well. His Second Martial Soul had to be the Clear Sky Hammer!
"Yes."
Tang San tried to summon his second Martial Soul, but after trying repeatedly, there was not the slightest reaction.
"Dad... it seems to have disappeared?!"
Tang San's eyes were full of confusion. He had truly sensed a Second Martial Soul before.
Why had it disappeared?
"The Martial Soul disappeared."
Tang Hao's face immediately darkened. He reached out, grabbed Tang San's hand, and directly examined him.
But he found nothing at all. There was no sign whatsoever of a Second Martial Soul.
"You actually dare to lie! I've been far too lenient with you lately!"
"You actually dared to lie to my face!"
Tang Hao's fury instantly surged. He believed Tang San had lied in order to go to school.
He casually grabbed something beside him and struck Tang San with it.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
"Will you dare to lie again?!"
Tang Hao roared.
"I didn't lie. I really sensed it."
Tang San endured the searing pain across his body, gritted his teeth, and spoke with firm eyes.
"Still being stubborn? You're still being stubborn? I'll beat you to death, you lying little bastard!"
Hearing Tang San's words, Tang Hao became even angrier. The wooden board in his hand swung faster and harder.
The sounds of smack, smack, smack rang out without end!
"Damn it!"
Tang San cast a dark look at Tang Hao, anger rising within him.
This man had never cared for him from childhood until now. What right did he have to beat him?
This man already had a death wish, but he was Tang San's father, and Tang San might not necessarily be able to kill him.
"Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied."
Tang San lowered his head. He endured it. Endure for a moment and the wind will calm; take a step back and there will be boundless sea and sky.
When his wings had fully grown, he would repay this humiliation without fail!
"Hmph."
Tang Hao snorted, tossed the wooden board aside, and went back to drinking.
Yet inwardly, he lamented why the child he had with Ah Yin was such a lying piece of trash!
The next day, after Qin Qi's Soul Power had recovered, he found Tang San. On the surface, he was catching up with him, but in secret, he was preparing to steal some Soul Power.
Cultivation was too slow and too painful. He could just grab it with Formless Hand and refine it in an instant!
PS: Although it was mentioned in the text, let me say it once more here.
To suit this world, all Gu worms in Thieving Heaven Killer Moves can be replaced by Formless Hand.
