[Using Stealing Attempts, you may seize various objects—both tangible and conceptual—from individuals, groups, or locations across countless universes. Stealing possessions may generate Resentment Value. When Resentment Value reaches 100%, it will trigger a special quest—teleporting you to the close vicinity of the individual with maxed Resentment, even if they are from another world.]

[Mission Rules: If you withstand their attacks or escape for 10 minutes, you will automatically steal one of their most prized possessions. On the other hand, if you defeat them in combat, you will claim everything they own.]

[Note: Each 1% increase in Resentment Value grants System Points (SP), usable for various utilities]

It's pretty simple. I read until the end and nod understandingly.

Thinking about it, a screen displaying my information shows up.

I can't help feeling astonished. My prowess is nothing short of impressive for a six years old. In fact, no six years old in this world have status this decently packed.

This Blue Silver Emperor is really full of surprise. Possessing an innate domain this early on is a real game changer. If the skills and techniques I leaned from my dream is added, then I will be able to get stronger and older Soul Beast as my first Soul Ring.

My keikaku, or rather the lack thereof, starts to change as I gain insight into how strong I roughly am.

Well then… I closed my status. Checking the number of attempt I have, and seeing the number eleven, I use one attempt to test the water.

[Target Selected: Xiao Yi Xian from Battle Through the Heavens]

[Object Stolen: {Woeful Poison Body}]

[Status: No Resentment Value generated — Xiao Yi Xian is unaware of her special physique or its theft]

---

Oh, that's one hell of a good start. I can't help breaking into a smile as I recall about the details of this physique.

It's a physique that, if not controlled, can bring calamity to the Dou Qi Continent. The possessor of this physique can consume poison to advance their cultivation, however, the more they eat the more bloated they become and eventually explode.

Xiao Yi Xian, the original owner of this physique, is a pitiful girl better off without it as this physique is like a curse, only brings her misfortune. Taking this from her allows her to live a normal life in that small town of hers as a doctor.

If opportunity arises, I could even try to bring her back with me to this world—as a form of repayment.

Although it's nice to gain something so powerful on my first try at stealing, I cannot use it just yet. I want some assurances first; risking my life for immediate gain is not an option with how life can be so unpredictable.

So, unless I find a way to fully control the Woeful Poison Body—like acquiring the External Soul Bone of any venomous or poisonous Soul Beasts, or after forging the Ice and Fire Alchemy Body in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well—it's practically useless to me. Of course, I can use it now and find solutions later, but once again, life is unpredictable and risking my life isn't a fine option.

'System, use five more attempts!' Not wanting to dwell on it for long, I order the system.

[Target Selected: Yu Xiaogang from Soul Land]

[Object Stolen: {Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies}]

---

[Target Selected: Yu Xiaogang from Soul Land]

[Object Stolen: {9 Levels of Soul Power}]

[Status: Resentment Value increased to 100% — Yu Xiaogang is enraged and fearful due to sudden depletion of Soul Power, his stomach churns and he coughs blood]

[Reward: 1,000 SP]

[Resentment Value of Yu Xiaogang has reached 100% — Special Mission triggered]

[You will be teleported in 10 seconds]

[9]

[8]

Ten seconds isn't nearly enough to prepare for much, but to be honest, do I even need to? I smirk, my anticipation grows and I let the light of teleportation bathe me.

[3]

[1]

As the light fills my vision, my surroundings begin to change to a small room resembling an office of sort. There, on the floor, a man with an unkempt appearance and ugly face is on his knees, coughing blood and clutching his chest.

I'm expecting him to be able to put up at least some fight, but... "Hey, isn't this just like sending a butcher to the pigpen?" I say, loud enough for him to hear, since he hadn't noticed me before. Tsk, I'm just that considerate.

At least, he finally notices me but is in no condition to retort or move as the pain maybe too unbearable for him. What a trash.

This guy becomes the teacher of "Tang San" in the novel? That sounds really stupid, especially when he can't even help "Tang San" in getting his Soul Ring. I can't help comparing myself to "Tang San" as he is quite literally me if I only dreamed one life.

Well, whatever. Our paths diverge from today onward.

Wasting no more time, I walk past the kneeling Trashgang and his position is currently giving me ideas.

Circulating Mysterious Heaven Skill, I pumped inner Qi and soul power into my torso and legs. "This is gonna hurts," I warn him, taking a running start and then kick him in his balls like I'm in a striker position in a football game.

With a heavy thud, my kick connects to his balls, eliciting throes of pain from him as he convulses on the floor, bleeding from his crotch area while his eyes rolls to the back of his head.

I may have heard a "crunch" sound after I delivered my kick, but hey, it's not really my fault that he put himself in a position that left me no other choices but to kick him there.

Yuck, disgusting. I look at him for the last time and almost have regretted doing this.

Anyway, my job here is done. I have also received the notification of my looting everything Yu Xiaogang's possessions.

[Victory Achieved: Yu Xiaogang Defeated!]

[All of Yu Xiaogang's tangible possessions have been transferred to your inventory. You may now extract his Soul Power, Martial Soul, Bloodline, and other abilities at any time.]

Of course I didn't spare anything. I have looted his Martial Soul, twenty levels of soul power, defective bloodline, and knowledge in Soul Masters and Soul Beasts he accumulated in his youth as well as theories he cooked in his later old age.

Without anything of value anymore in this place, I decide to go back. 'System, teleport me back to Saint Spirit Village!'

The light of teleportation wraps around me again, and after ten seconds, I find myself back on the hill behind the village. Sitting down, I look into my harvest from looting Trashgang.

[Steal System]

◆ Stealing Attempts: [8]

◆ System Points: [1,000]

◆ Inventory:

[1. Woeful Poison Body]

[2. Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies]

[3. Yu Xiaogang's 29 Levels of Soul Power]

[4. Spirit Beasts and Where To Find Them]

[5. Martial Souls Encyclopedia]

[6. Storage Essence Tool]

[7. 89,983 Gold Soul Coins]

[8. 266,500 Silver Soul Coins]

[9. 2,688 Copper Soul Coins]

[10. Luo San Pao Martial Soul]

[11. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Bloodline (defective)]

[12. 101-year-old Soul Ring]

[13. 236-year-old Soul Ring]

[14. Yu Xiaogang's wisdom]

Fruitful, yet lacking—that's exactly how I feel about Trashgang's possessions. Everything about him is either mediocre at best or downright disappointing.

Thinking back, I suppose I'm kinda lucky that it was Trashgang and not any other person stronger than me whose resentment reached max. It raises my awareness that the Steal System isn't without risk. Not that it will stop me from stealing more.

I'm suddenly feeling extremely lucky and trusting my gut, I say to the system, 'System, use all eight attempts at once!'

I know I'll get at least one good thing out of this.

Well, that's anticlimactic. I won't even comment on how I ended up with Eula's stockings from different attempts, or the oddities of stealing from Kimimaro and Gaara, who were at each other's throats. At least four out of the eight objects are actually useful to me, so there's that.

—End of Chapter—

So, SP is relative to the strength of the target. T1 (Normal) give 1 SP for every 1%, T2 (Street) give 10 SP for every 1%, and so on with increment of ten times. T3 (City) T4 (Island) T5 (Continent) T6 (Planet) T7 (Solar System) T8 (Galaxy) T9 (Universe) T10-T13 (Universe+++) T0 (Boundless).
