System Binding, Theft Gate Opens! (New Book, Please Recommend!!)

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Holy Soul Village.

Yang Tian sat by the doorway, watching Tang San hurry down from the small hill outside the village and wave at him with a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Morning, Heavenly Brother." Tang San smiled faintly and waved back before running toward the blacksmith's shop at the village entrance.

"Morning, my ass. You call me Heavenly Brother every other word, yet you won't teach me the Mysterious Heaven Skill."

Yang Tian curled his lip and sighed toward the sky. "Damn it, both my parents have already been sacrificed to the heavens, so why don't I even have a cheat? Without a cheat, am I really only going to make a living off my face? Although living off a woman is pretty sweet... if I want to live off a goddess, I still need strength."

Before long, Old Jack, the village chief, called out from the courtyard. "Little Tian, time to eat. Afterward, Grandpa will take you to awaken your martial soul."

Ding! Congratulations, host. You have been selected by the system. Binding in progress...

Ding! Heavens' Theft System successfully bound. Theft Gate opened.

Ding! Novice gift pack has arrived. Please check your inventory.

Ding! Mission issued: Awaken martial soul. Reward: Common Grade Theft Ticket ×1.

Note: This system is the Heavens' Theft System and can steal the mysteries of all heavens and worlds.

Theft Tickets can only be obtained through missions, except for the novice gift pack.

Mission rewards consist solely of Theft Tickets.

All system products come with detailed descriptions. This system is merely a tool and will not answer any of the host's questions.

The cold electronic voice rang out without warning. Yang Tian, who had been about to head back for breakfast, froze before being overwhelmed with wild joy. A system? Holy shit!

As an outstanding young man of the twenty-first century, how could Yang Tian not know what a system was?

Suppressing the urge to shout, Yang Tian nervously opened his status panel.

Host: Yang Tian

Martial Soul: Not awakened

Soul Power: 0

Theft Tickets: 0

Inventory: Novice Gift Pack ×1

Mission: Awaken martial soul

"System, open the novice gift pack." Yang Tian thought to himself. The next moment, fireworks effects worth fifty cents burst forth, and four tickets surrounded by different-colored halos popped out of the novice gift pack.

Ding! Congratulations, host. You have obtained one each of Common Grade, Brave Grade, Epic Grade, and Legendary Grade Theft Tickets!

Yang Tian rubbed his hands excitedly. His intuition told him that the Epic Grade and Legendary Grade Theft Tickets had to be especially precious.

"System..." Yang Tian had just wanted to ask the system a few questions when he remembered that it was merely a tool, so he simply stopped asking.

"System, use all four Theft Tickets." Seeing that it was nearly time to eat, Yang Tian went all in at once!

Ding! Congratulations, host. You have stolen a shut-in's tablet computer. (Solar charger included.)

Ding! Congratulations, host. You have stolen Duan Yu's "Lingbo Steps." (Can be learned directly to the beginner level.)

Ding! Congratulations, host. You have stolen Xiao Yan's Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Ding! Congratulations, host. You have stolen Ye Fan's Ancient Desolate Saint Body. (Adapted to this world.)

{PS: Adapted to this world means that the Ancient Desolate Saint Body will not be as powerful as it was in Shrouding the Heavens. At the very least, it will not grant the casual strength of a hundred thousand jin.

The same will apply to all cultivation techniques in the future. They will not be absurdly overpowered.}

Yang Tian calmly looked over the results of this theft and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, the Ancient Desolate Saint Body took effect on Yang Tian. A tremendous source of strength suddenly surged from within him, and he felt much stronger, as though he could punch a cow to death.

"Do I need to awaken my martial soul before I can summon the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame?" Yang Tian looked at the description of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, ignored it, and instead chose to learn "Lingbo Steps."

Lingbo Steps was directly learned to the beginner level, filling Yang Tian with delight.

With the system in hand, the world was his. Yang Tian could already vaguely see a wave of goddesses throwing themselves at him.

After breakfast, Old Jack brought Yang Tian to the Spirit Hall in the village, then went to call Tang San as well.

By the time the dozen or so children in the village who needed to awaken their martial souls had gathered, the legendary Blind Douluo had finally arrived.

Like Tang San, Yang Tian could not get along with the bratty children and stood alone to one side.

Seeing this, Tang San walked over with a gentle smile. "Heavenly Brother, what martial souls do you think we'll awaken?"

Throughout Holy Soul Village, Tang San and Yang Tian were both known for being steady and mature. Among the bratty children, they were the only two who could exchange a few words with each other.

"Blue Silver Grass!" Yang Tian answered without hesitation.

Tang San's face darkened. Sure enough, a brat was still a brat.

"How can you curse yourself like that, Heavenly Brother?"

"I meant you!"

"..."

Tang San silently walked away. Yang Tian curled his lip. "So I'm not even allowed to tell the truth?"

At this point, Old Jack had finished speaking with the Blind Douluo, Su Yuntao. The children lined up and followed Su Yuntao into the Spirit Hall.

Su Yuntao first took awakening stones from his bag and arranged them, then took out a Crystal Ball for testing soul power before speaking to everyone. "I will summon my martial soul next. Don't be afraid."

With that, Su Yuntao shouted, "Lone Wolf, possess me!"

The phantom of a vicious-looking one-eyed wolf appeared behind Su Yuntao, and his body underwent a series of changes, becoming even uglier.

At once, the bratty children began screaming and crying, while only Yang Tian and Tang San stared curiously at Su Yuntao.

"So this is a martial soul?" Yang Tian began to look forward to seeing what his own martial soul would be.

Su Yuntao helplessly calmed the bratty children, then looked at Tang San and Yang Tian in surprise. "You two aren't afraid? Fine, then you two can go first and set an example for the other children."

"I'll go." Yang Tian could not be bothered to wait for Tang San to awaken his martial soul and directly stepped into the awakening formation.

Su Yuntao nodded in satisfaction. Well-behaved and sensible bratty children like this were rare these days.

"Close your eyes and focus carefully." Su Yuntao reminded him. Immediately afterward, Yang Tian felt a force of pressure. Though it was slight, it was a crucial trigger for martial soul awakening.

As the pressure increased, a warm energy slowly emerged within Yang Tian's body. Then Su Yuntao spoke again. "Extend your right hand."

Yang Tian did as he was told and opened his eyes at the same time. A tiny flame flickered from his palm, extremely weak, as though a single breath could extinguish it.

Looking at the bean-sized flame in Yang Tian's palm, Su Yuntao's mouth twitched. "What is this? It can barely even light a fire! This martial soul is useless.

Come, try to withdraw your martial soul and place your hand on this Crystal Ball."

Hearing Su Yuntao's assessment, Yang Tian immediately began cheering inwardly. The Blind Douluo's forbidden soul skill: blind assessment!

Anyone who received a blind negative assessment from the Blind Douluo had a one hundred percent chance of becoming a god!

Yang Tian withdrew his martial soul and placed his hand on the Crystal Ball. The power within his body continuously poured into it. The next moment, light flooded the Spirit Hall, and everyone cried out in shock.

"This... this is Innate Full Soul Power? But that tiny flame really is a useless martial soul. What use could a flame the size of a bean possibly have? It would even struggle to light kindling!"

"What a pity! Still, you can become a soul master. You may go out first."

After hearing the Blind Douluo's final "blessing," Yang Tian left in complete satisfaction. At the same time, a notification sounded in his mind.

Ding! Mission to awaken martial soul completed. You have obtained one Common Grade Theft Ticket.

Ding! New mission issued: Obtain a soul ring. (Time limit: three months. Must be completed independently. Soul ring age must not be lower than five hundred years.)

Mission reward: One Brave Grade Theft Ticket.
