Douluo Continent, Notting City.
Notting Academy student dormitory, small woods behind the mountain.
Suddenly, the surrounding space distorted. A young man dressed in black, with long blue-silver hair, fell from the distorted space, landing steadily on the ground, his buttocks the first point of contact.
If that old rabbit were here, he would definitely recognize this as the clan leader.
"Oh my god! You dog system, are you only happy when I die from this fall?!"
[Ding, the host is too trashy.]
"Damn it, knowing that my soul power is exhausted, you still play like this?"
[Ding, the host brought it on himself, insisting on trying to be cool like those hot-blooded male protagonists.]
"I wasn't being cool! I was just... ugh! Showing mercy to the beauty. Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore, I'll recover my soul power first."
As he spoke, the zu zong sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate. Although the "Scumbag Master" wasn't exactly a saint, his "Soul Power Meditation Method" still had its merits. In just half an hour, the zu zong's soul power had recovered to about 70-80%.
Stretching, the zu zong stood up. "Ah! So comfortable! I feel like I've come back to life. Hmm? What's this?"
At the same time, a system notification sounded in the zu zong's mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for increasing their soul power to level 15. Reward: one stealing opportunity.]
"So easy? I think I only recently reached level 14!"
The zu zong had absorbed a soul ring the day before yesterday, accumulating strength and then leaping directly from level 10 to level 14.
But unexpectedly, after taking a trip around the Dou Qi Continent and taking care of Xun'er's meridians, he broke through another level. It was truly unbelievable.
"System, open my personal panel."

"Hmm, an increase of one level in Soul Power, a 20 increase in basic strength, not bad," among low-level Soul Masters in Douluo Continent. Unless one side has one more Soul Ring than the other, the difference between each level is not very significant, just a slightly stronger Soul Power. For a zu zong to increase basic strength by 20 is already quite good. Keep in mind that his basic strength was already comparable to a Soul Master without a thousand-year soul ring.
"Wait, am I seeing things?! What is the Extreme Flame Blue Silver Emperor?"
[Ding, due to the host's accidental absorption of a trace of the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame's sub-fire energy while nourishing Xiao Xun'er's meridians, a mutation has occurred.]
"I see! The original work seems to have mentioned that the Blue Silver Emperor possesses some kind of devouring ability, so I'll give it a try."
As he spoke, the zu zong gathered soul power in his right hand, a faint white light appearing on his skin. Then, deep blue Blue Silver Grass surged out from his palm. A clear yellow halo rose from beneath his feet, swirling around his body.
"First Soul Skill—Poison Dragon Entanglement."
Several strange hand seals appeared in the zu zong's hands, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and more than a dozen Blue Silver Emperor vines, as thick as bowls, grew out, rapidly binding tightly around a large tree in front of him that would require two people to encircle.
The scales covering the Blue Silver Emperor vines gradually turned red. The moment the tree stump touched the vines, white smoke rose, and a burnt smell filled the air—caused by the high-temperature scales covering the vines. No, it should now be called the Extreme Flame Blue Silver Emperor.
"Poison Devour!"
The word "devour" was uttered, and streams of red liquid oozed from the reddened scales of the Blue Silver Emperor vines. Unlike the previous purple corrosive venom, which resembled magma, this liquid didn't solidify. The moment it touched the tree trunk, almost instantly, the tree fell, its broken end charred black. A closer look revealed a significant section of the trunk missing.
"Holy crap, this isn't poison anymore! It's clearly a strengthened version of 'Corpse-Dissolving Water'! If you get trapped by this stuff, even a Soul Master might be doomed. The corrosive toxin has become an extremely aggressive fire poison!"
Of course, this is assuming the zu zong can capture a Soul Master, since their martial soul isn't to be underestimated.
His right hand gathered soul power once more, and the clan leader summoned another Blue Silver Emperor. He remarked with relief, "It's alright, as long as I don't use soul skills, it's still the original Blue Silver Emperor. Otherwise, that greedy old rabbit would be cursing me out."
[Ding, host has 14 stealing opportunities remaining.
Steal now?] "Let's steal! I refuse to believe I'll be unlucky every time."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing Orochimaru's Three Body Techniques (number of substitutions, number of transformations, number of clones). Orochimaru's hatred towards the host has increased to 1%, and hatred points have increased by 10.]
"Hmm! The Three Body Techniques aren't bad! They can save my life in crucial moments. But the hatred points are a bit low!"
[Ding, since Yakushi Kabuto inherited everything from Orochimaru and evolved into Orochimaru Kabuto, his strength has greatly increased. The Three Body Techniques, an E-rank ninjutsu, are dispensable to him.] The
zu zong nodded. "That makes sense. Kabuto is probably still lost in his own thoughts. Without Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan to use Izanami, I wonder what the outcome will be."
[Ding, when the host stole Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan and taijutsu, Itachi had just died. There's a high chance Itachi will regain his peak strength after being resurrected using Edo Tensei.]
"I see. So, if he sees Sasuke is blind after his resurrection, won't he hate me?"
[Ding, very likely!]
"Damn it! But whatever, I'll just be forcibly teleported to his place and hide far away. I can't handle Izanami."
Meanwhile, in an underground space at the border of the Land of Lightning and the Land of Earth in the Naruto world,
Kabuto extended his disgustingly long tongue, like Orochimaru's, and licked his lips. Suddenly, a strange sensation arose in his mind.
he frowned and muttered to himself, "Hmm? What's this feeling? I feel like I've forgotten something!" But soon his brows relaxed again. "Well! Never mind, it shouldn't be anything important. Let's get Itachi out of Edo Tensei first! I'm really looking forward to seeing him and Sasuke again! Hahaha!"
In just a moment, Zuzong mastered the Three Body Techniques he had stolen.
"System, continue stealing,"
[Ding, congratulations to the host for stealing a bottle of water from the Mother-Child River in the Women's Kingdom of Journey to the West. Since the Mother-Child River is unclaimed, the host cannot gain hatred points.]
"Mother-Child River water?"
Zuzong's eyes lit up. This was something that could make anyone who drank it pregnant; it was practically an essential item for playing pranks when traveling!
Thinking of this, Zuzong couldn't help but think of a few victims: Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang. (
