After an intense round of deliberation, the twelve-man task force was finalized.
The team consisted of one Kage-level ninja and eleven elite jonin, drawn from both prestigious ninja clans and talented civilians.
This lineup one Kage-class ninja backed by eleven elite jonin was, without exaggeration, the most formidable team ever assembled in Konoha’s history.
At the same time, the intelligence networks of both the Anbu and the Root Division were fully mobilized to hunt down...

Uchiha Fugaku stealthily made his way back to the Uchiha compound and seamlessly switched places with the Shadow Clone he had left behind.
“Fugaku, what happened?”
Uchiha Mikoto emerged from the bedroom, dressed in pajamas that revealed her fair chest. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she spoke with drowsy curiosity.
“I’m not quite sure yet. I’ve already sent someone to investigate. We should have news soon,” Fugaku replied, shaking his head.
He had been busy a...

"Intruder alert!"
A sudden shout echoed through the Hokage Tower, shattering the quiet stillness within.
Immediately, the building erupted into a flurry of movement as the sound of rapid footsteps filled the corridors.
"We’ve found someone unconscious!"
Uchiha Fugaku’s expression shifted. He instantly realized that the unconscious ANBU he had taken out had been discovered.
Within the Hokage Tower, ANBU were stationed at regular intervals, and patrols wer...

At Night on Konoha
Under the cover of darkness, a man cloaked in a black robe patterned with red clouds and wearing a spiraling mask approached the Hokage Tower in silence.
His presence was so well-concealed that even sensory-type ninja could only detect him at an extremely close range.
This man disguised as Uchiha Obito was none other than Uchiha Fugaku himself.
As a Kage-level shinobi, he already possessed exceptional skill in suppressing his chakra. After assimi...

Shu Yan instinctively shielded Xu Jiujiu, stepping back slightly. A twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth as he gained a clearer understanding of what the so-called “madness” of the top Soul Master of Xingluo really meant.
The soul-guided cannons surrounding Han Lin were at least level seven. Although these cannons weren’t as powerful as the standard issue soul-guided cannon shells of the same level, their strength was still enough to easily kill a Dou Di (Soul Emperor) level...

Early the next morning, a luxurious carriage bearing the emblem of the Star Luo imperial family slowly rolled out of the palace gates and made its way into Star Luo City.
Shu Yan lifted a corner of the curtain covering the carriage window and glanced out at the street. The sounds of the outside world flowed clearly into his ears—the rhythmic clopping of hooves, the cries of street vendors, and the chatter and laughter of passersby...
Just as Shu Yan found himself slightly lost i...

It was a pleasant afternoon, but Shu Yan was in no pleasant mood.
At some point, an elderly woman with kind eyes and a weathered face had appeared on the recliner beside him. Her hair was completely white, and deep wrinkles lined her face, making it impossible to guess her true age. But her identity was unmistakably unique—she was none other than Immortal Healer Douluo Wang Xian’er, Deputy Hall Master of the Star Luo Royal Offering Hall. A Rank 95 Healing-type Super Douluo, she was ...

A thick, chilling aura suddenly burst forth from within the carving knife. A cyan light illuminated the entire hall in an instant. A fierce, ghostly wind howled through the room, as if countless lost souls were wailing at their sides. A gloomy pressure enveloped the hall.
Xu Jiujiu groaned softly in discomfort. To her shock, the icy energy seemed to penetrate every possible gap. In just a split second, a small stream had bypassed her soul power’s defense and seeped into her body.

Frightened by the power of Zhou Qing’s first soul skill earlier, Liu Long had lost all of his previous arrogance. A trace of fear appeared in his eyes.

If they got hit by his soul skill, it wouldn’t just be painful—it could cripple or even kill!

How on earth did he interpret "like father, like son" as a compliment?

“Whether or not special soul rings exist, we can't say for sure—so let's assume they do. But they’re likely even rarer than your right palm bone. After all, given the number of Soul Masters across the continent, soul rings are far more common than soul bones. As for these so-called special soul rings... we’ve never even heard of them.”

Speaking of Tang San’s right hand, as he circulated his soul power, a glove-like layer, closely fitting like skin, appeared on his right hand — a bluish-green color with a hint of blue:
“I don’t really know what this is exactly. It feels like something that actively merged into my hand when I absorbed the soul ring.”
“Try injecting more soul power,” Zhou Qing suggested.
“Alright.”
Tang San injected more soul power into his right hand. Immediately, the bl...

As Zhou Qing’s spiritual consciousness focused, the intricate details within the fully yellow soul ring gradually appeared in his “vision.”
Inside that yellow soul ring were countless fine lines, densely interconnected and tangled like an intricate net. For a moment, Zhou Qing felt a bit dizzy and overwhelmed.

With this, the patterns inside the soul ring became much bolder, re...

From this, Zhou Qing partially overturned some of his earlier assumptions from the time at Saint Soul Village and came to a new hypothesis: the role of soul rings for soul masters is primarily to grant a soul skill and to help them break through their current realm.
As long as the attributes of the hunted soul beast match the attribute of the martial soul, the martial soul can better connect with the soul ring, thus maximizing the efficiency and effect of the soul skill.
Moreover,...
