Douluo Continent: I Have No Thieves Under Heaven, the Explosive King Returns

Chapter 139: A reprimand to the crowd, the qualifying rounds begin.

A few days later, on the outskirts of Tiandou City.

boom--

Almost simultaneously, seven figures flew backward in a circle.

It slid awkwardly across the ground, leaving seven gullies of varying lengths.

One by one, they stared at the center of the location with horrified expressions and complicated emotions.

"Why, is that not enough?"

"No Thieves Under Heaven" spoke indifferently, his face expressionless.

"Looks like beating those losers in the qualifiers has boosted your confidence! You haven't improved at all during my absence!"

The seven treacherous officials fell silent, barely daring to breathe.

The preliminary rounds did give them a lot of confidence, making them feel that the Soul Master Tournament was only this level.

I thought I was very strong.

Even with the promise of no thieves under heaven, the result was still the same failure.

However, the faces of the traitors and their ilk still showed dissatisfaction.

He felt that he was already one of the best among the younger generation, a true genius.

The thief took in their expressions and scolded them with disappointment.

Did I say something wrong?!

The traitorous officials mustered their courage, stood up, and began to argue their way out.

"Boss, not everyone is a monster like you! Among the younger generation, there are very few who can beat us."

"Heh, the younger generation?"

"No Thieves Under Heaven" laughed in anger, then glared at him with lightning-fast fury.

"In this dog-eat-dog world, there is no such thing as youth. Weakness is the original sin."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and appeared in front of the traitor almost instantly, grabbing his collar and lifting him up.

"Do you expect an old, immortal being more powerful than you to show mercy just because you're younger?"

The traitor shrank back, clearly knowing that this was impossible.

The thieves no longer intended to hide anything and revealed some secrets that the others did not yet know.

He looked around, filled with unprecedented anger.

"The reason you've been able to cultivate without worry all year is because the Four Elders and Dugu Bo have been secretly protecting you!"

"Do you know how many waves of sneak attacks they shielded you from? Do you know how strong those who wanted to attack you are?"

The thief-free man pulled the head of the traitor right in front of him. His expressionless face ignited the traitor's fury.

"You're telling me you're young now? Do you even know who our potential enemy is?!"

He never regarded his peers, or even those one or two generations older, as enemies.

Even the mighty Golden Generation doesn't deserve to be his true enemies.

The traitors didn't dare to breathe loudly, never expecting that his comment about being young would enrage their leader so much.

In the eyes of those who believe there are no thieves in the world, youth is indeed an asset.

However, if one fails to realize their talents in their youth, they will ultimately be nothing more than an ant that can be manipulated by others!

Moreover, their enemies are the Papal Palace, the Haotian Sect, and even the Sea God Island.

They were facing the strongest forces on the continent. What advantage did youth have in front of them?
Just an ant!

Although the temple could provide them with protection, it was ultimately out of reach when faced with absolute self-interest.

The only person you can truly trust is yourself.

Only by being strong can you provide yourself with the best protection!

He released his grip on the traitor's hand and swept his gaze around like a knife.

The man who recognized the thief as his father and the shifty-eyed man shrank back, trying to hide himself.

The four women, including Dugu Yan, lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

Having spent so much time together, this was the first time they had ever seen Tianxia Wuzei (a character from a popular Chinese TV show) so angry.

And now I understand why he was so determined to become stronger.

The benchmarks were not those of their own generation, but rather those established and powerful figures.

Looking at the group of traitors who resembled wilted eggplants, Tianxia Wuzei was furious. He never expected that his brief absence of two times would lead these treacherous officials to harbor such inappropriate thoughts.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Immediately, an indifferent tone came through.

"Perhaps I've been too kind to you all, so much so that you've forgotten the rules I set."

The thief ignored them and slowly left.

Just as everyone was about to catch up, an immense pressure suddenly descended upon them.

A chill rushed straight to the top of my head.

The thief slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and even the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

Where do you want to go?

"Boss, isn't the qualifying round about to start? Aren't we supposed to participate in the qualifying round?" The traitor swallowed hard, not daring to say anything more.

"No need." Tianxia Wuzei withdrew his gaze and slowly walked away. "You can continue training here. When I'm satisfied, you can participate in the competition."

After he left this place completely, his last words remained in the air.

"If you still can't meet my requirements by the end, you don't need to participate in the finals."

Everyone suddenly understood.

The game "No Thieves Under Heaven" actually requires one person to participate in the qualifying round!
The three traitors bit their lips tightly, filled with remorse.

I had hoped that by growing to this point, I could share his burdens.

Unexpectedly, they still disappointed their eldest brother!

He recognized the thief as his father and, with his shifty eyes and dejected demeanor, walked dejectedly to the side of the traitorous minister, filled with deep regret.

Because this was caused after the two of them took over as captains, they felt they were largely to blame.

"Second brother, what should we do now?!"

The four women, including Dugu Yan, also turned their gazes toward her, eager to know what to do.

The traitorous officials wore bitter expressions.

As the second oldest, he was the one who understood the character of Tianxia Wuzei the most.

Once he makes up his mind, not even ten oxen could pull him back.

He spoke in an unprecedentedly formal and deep voice.

"What else can we do? We'll have to train. If we really can't reach a level that satisfies the boss, he'll have to participate in the qualifying rounds and the finals all by himself."

Everyone fell silent, quietly finding a spot they considered comfortable to cultivate.

In the shadows, Lion Douluo and Dugu Bo witnessed everything that had just happened.

"Fourth Offering, is the little monster really that terrifying when he's angry?"

Even Dugu Bo felt a pang of fear at that last look.

Lion Douluo watched the departing figure of Tianxia Wuzei and sighed.

"This is the first time I've ever seen him so angry. Perhaps those traitors really crossed his line."

He didn't understand what burdens the "No Thieves Under Heaven" team carried.

However, one can always sense his desire to become stronger.

Several days passed, and the traitors and their ilk dared not slacken their cultivation and training for even a moment.

However, there were no thieves in the world, and they never came here even once.

Even on the day of the qualifying rounds, they did not receive any orders.

No one dared to complain in the slightest and continued to bury themselves in their arduous training.

On that day, only one member of the villain team, Wu Zetian, entered the Heavenly Battle Arena in Tian Dou City to participate in the qualifying rounds.

The qualifying rounds do not eliminate teams; they are only used to determine the order of the finals.

Therefore, in order to suppress the villainous team, the Heavenly Dou Empire made a puzzling move.

The moment the thieves entered the arena, the Platinum Bishop Salas walked over with a look of fear on his face.

"Your Highness, the Heavenly Dou Empire has no martial ethics!"

He was indignant and gritted his teeth.

"They actually selected the strongest students from Shenfeng, Tianshui, Chihuo, and Leiting academies to form a four-element academy team! Their goal is to break the villain team's undefeated record. Their intentions are despicable!"
