Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 168

Looking back again at Tom, who was shivering and could barely stand, Yang Wudi shook his head slightly. He thought, "Just a silly cat."

'Enough, enough. It would be beneath my reputation to use this broken soul spear on a foolish cat. I'll just stab it clean of all its fur, demonstrating both my strength and my style.'

Yang Wudi was confident that he could use a long spear to stab a cat's genitals without killing it.

After all, he had studied spear techniques for many years, and apart from the spear, he had nothing else; all his cultivation was contained in a single spear.

"Little kitty, this spear of mine is called the Soul-Shattering Spear. Once this spear is drawn, blood will surely be drawn. You should be prepared."

Looking at Tom's cowardly appearance, Yang Wudi couldn't help but feel a mischievous urge and couldn't resist teasing the cat.

Sure enough, Tom became even more timid upon hearing this, and every part of his body, from his teeth to his nails, trembled.

"Get ready, I'll count to three!" Yang Wudi shouted again, startling Tom so much that he jumped.

"three!"

Tom almost stopped breathing, his cat eyes fixed on Yang Wudi's gun, not daring to blink for a moment, afraid that he would be stabbed with several big holes and lose his life if he wasn't careful.

"two!"

"one!"

Shen An, who was watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly became serious. It wasn't that he was worried about Tom, but rather that he was impressed by Yang Wudi's extraordinary abilities.

As the Soul-Shattering Spear was swung out, its tip pointing directly at Tom's head, the man seemed to become one with the spear, his body moving with it without any unnecessary movements.

This shot was as fast as lightning and as swift as the wind.

Tom easily dodged the shot by simply tilting his head to the side.

Yang Wudi's confident smile suddenly froze. What the hell? His mighty Soul-Breaking Spear couldn't even pierce a hair.

Tom looked at the four-foot-long gun barrel beside him, breathed a sigh of relief, and flicked it lightly with his paw, making a crisp sound.

Then he threw Yang Wudi a provocative look, as if to say, "That's all? Not that impressive."

Shen An and Jerry laughed incessantly beside him; that's just how Tom is, always showing off.

Yang Wudi's face instantly turned purplish-red, and he roared, "Again!"

Seeing his proud marksmanship ignored, Yang Wudi was furious. He shook his Soul-Breaking Spear into countless black streaks of light and thrust it toward Tom.

Tom saw gunshots everywhere, shaking his head and dodging every flash of light.

Yang Wudi grew increasingly anxious, and a slight doubt arose about his own strength.

How could a Contra Master like him not even be able to stab a cat?

He even wanted to shave all the cat's fur off! Now what's the point of shaving it?!

"drink!"

Yang Wudi shouted again, now using his soul power, his speed increasing exponentially.

The Soul-Shattering Spear was almost a phantom, and Tom's cat head was shaking more vigorously than a rattle drum.

Shen An couldn't help but laugh more as he looked at it; it looked more and more like a fake gun.

Just like the short videos on Douyin in my previous life, it's all about fancy spears and stabbing heads, one person stabbing while the other dodges, like a juggling act.

Yang Wudi probably realized something was wrong, so he decisively put away his gun and gasped for breath, looking at Tom as if he were looking at a monster.

Tom, still oblivious, was shaking his head to himself.

"What breed is your cat?" Yang Wudi couldn't help but turn to Shen An and ask.

Shen An suppressed a laugh and asked uncertainly, "British Shorthair Blue Cat?"

Who knows what breed Tom is? He's been a cat that's been popular for a century.

Yang Wudi was taken aback. What kind of breed was this? He had never heard of it before.

Then Yang Wudi nodded seriously: "Hmm, no wonder, it is such a race. That makes sense. Otherwise, with my strength, even a 100,000-year-old soul beast would have several holes in it."

Yang Wudi's words made Shen An burst into laughter. This old man was quite concerned about his reputation; he didn't believe that anyone in Douluo Continent had ever heard of the British Shorthair Blue cat breed.

Yang Wudi blushed, thinking to himself, "Has he found out that I'm trying so hard to save face?"

“Shen An, I, Yang Wudi, mean what I say. The matter of Titan is settled here. I have done my best but still gained nothing. I have done right by my friend.”

"However, since you have severely injured Tang Hao and his son, you are now an honored guest of my Po Clan. You are welcome to visit my Po Clan anytime, and I will certainly prepare the best wine and food to entertain you."

Yang Wudi smiled slightly and then said.

Shen An smiled along with him, thinking that Yang Wudi was indeed a man of character.

Then he pressed down on Tom's still-shaking head, and Tom, like a vibrating alarm clock, stopped abruptly.

Its head was no longer moving, but its body was still shaking.

Her eyes had turned into a vortex, clearly dizzy from her own dazed state, and she was walking around in place with a cat-like gait.

Yang Wudi's lips twitched. He hadn't even touched a hair of this thing. Damn it, how embarrassing!

"If there's a chance, definitely," Shen An said with a clasped-fist salute and a smile.

"Then, Senior Yang, we shall take our leave here."

Yang Wudi, who was about to turn around and leave, turned back again and said with slight hesitation, "Shen An, the road ahead is fraught with difficulties and may bring calamities. Why don't you take a trip around Xingluo first?"

Shen An immediately understood that Yang Wudi was reminding him that there were enemies on the way to Xingluo City.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Yang, but I have my own plans," Shen An said.

Yang Wudi stopped talking. He had already done his best to remind him. He put away the Soul-Breaking Spear, gave Tom one last complicated look, and then disappeared without a trace.

'The Imperial Clan and the Agile Clan?'

Shen An thought about these two races in his mind. With the death of Titan and the arrival of Yang Wudi, these two races would naturally be involved.

However, what did he have to fear? The strongest of these two races were nothing more than Soul Douluos.

"Let's see who is whose calamity."

Chapter 272 No Morality, Let's Go Side by Side! (4000)

boom!

Shen An punched Tom, who was still dizzy, awake.

Tom's mind suddenly cleared, and he instantly remembered Yang Wudi, who wished he could poke a dozen holes in him.

He angrily pulled out a hunting rifle, scanning the surroundings as if to say something.

You little brat, come out here! I, Tang, am also somewhat skilled with a gun!

Shen An chuckled. This cat was quite vengeful. But as he laughed, he realized that Tom went up to get shot simply because he and Jerry had tricked Tom.

Jerry also realized this and looked at Shen Anyi guiltily, afraid that Tom would point the gun at them.

"Ahem, Yang Wudi is gone. Ahem, Tom, there's plenty of time. You can still have a shooter's contest with him. Come on, let me take you out for something delicious."

Only delicious food can calm Tom down, who holds a grudge.

He randomly approached a family in the village and asked to stay for a while. After revealing his financial resources, the villagers were very welcoming.

The next day, they continued along the original route.

The scenery within the Star Luo Empire is indeed quite different from that of the Heavenly Dou Empire; it is more rugged and bold.

On the third day, Shen An noticed that many eyes were secretly fixed on him.

"Yu, the Min clan, are you also looking for death?" Shen An pretended to be unaware, and even had the leisure to buy some special little trinkets on the street as souvenirs.

"Good! Good! Good! Following Shen An's route, his next destination will definitely be Meizipo, which is a good place to be buried." Bai He's eyes gleamed.

He was even more excited. He had inquired and learned that Shen An had a close relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and had won awards in the Soul Master Competition many times. He must be extremely wealthy.

The Min clan is used to being poor and relies on the charity of the other three clans for survival. The clan members are also extremely arrogant and refuse to engage in commerce or plunder other soul masters.

But now is the perfect opportunity to avenge Titan and make a killing.

'But following this path, Shen An should have encountered Old Goat by now. Old Goat's reputation as the best among the four clans is unparalleled, and his marksmanship is unmatched.'

Bai He thought to himself, but quickly dismissed the thought. It must be because Yang Wudi showed mercy, otherwise Shen An would never have made it this far.

"You all go to Meizipo and wait there first. I'll go find the old rhinoceros," Baihe commanded.

"Yes!"

Meizipo is usually a beautiful place with many tourists, but today it is unusually quiet.

Tom and Jerry exchanged a glance; something was wrong, something was very, very wrong.

Shen An walked in without changing his expression, just like a tourist admiring the scenery, completely unaware of what was happening.

There were more than ten people in the plum grove, seemingly waiting for someone.

“Grandpa, all the experts from our Yu and Min clans, as well as those at the Soul King level or above, have come. Isn’t this putting too much importance on Shen An?”

Beside the white crane, the beautiful Bai Chenxiang spoke coquettishly.

Bai He gently shook his head and said, "It's different. This Shen An has exceptional talent. If we were to make a move against him, we should decisively kill him."

"Otherwise, if he escapes and then devotes himself to cultivation for another ten years or so, it will be our Yumin clan that dies."

The white crane looked at its granddaughter with eyes full of affection.

Bai Chenxiang's eyes revealed a hint of resentment; what young person hasn't been proud and arrogant at some point?

Niu Gao closed his eyes to rest, already looking forward to Shen An's arrival so he could avenge Titan. Among the four clans, he had the best relationship with Titan.

"I was wondering why Meizi Slope was deserted; it turns out everyone's here enjoying the scenery." A clear voice rang out, and a handsome young man walked over with a cat and a mouse.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chenxiang looked at Shen An in disbelief. It was him, the one who had helped him out of a predicament, given him gold soul coins, and even stirred a girlish affection within her.

'It's over, he's doomed.' Bai Chenxiang looked at Shen An with a complicated expression. She knew that although her grandfather usually doted on her, she had no say in matters of great importance.

Bai Chenxiang kept giving Shen An meaningful glances, hoping that Shen An would turn around and run away. Although there were their people all around, it was still better than sitting and waiting to die.

Shen An looked on in surprise. So this girl was from the Min clan. No wonder she had been looking for him everywhere.

“Haha, that’s right, the scenery here is excellent, but I always feel there’s something missing.” Niu Gao, as steady as a mountain, spoke, his eyes fixed intently on Shen An.

"Hmm, what's lacking?" Shen An asked.

Niu Gao's lips curled into a vicious smile: "Since it's Merlin, how can it be without crimson? However, it's late autumn, so let's use blood instead."

Shen An nodded in agreement, picked up the cat and handed it over: "Hey, is one cat's blood enough? If not, I have a little mouse."

Tom's face turned green. Help! Can you please stop bullying the kitten?

Niu Gao's face stiffened: "Hmph, stop trying to fool me. I am Niu Gao, the patriarch of the Yu clan, and today I will avenge my old brother Titan."

Bai He then said, "I am Bai He, the patriarch of the Min clan. You killed Titan, so you should pay with your life."

Shen An laughed and said, "Then why don't you ask if Titan tried to attack me first?"

Niu Gao was taken aback. It was quite possible that the Titans had bullied the weak first, as their Power Clan was known for its fierce protectiveness.

He burst into laughter, and eight spirit rings spun out, his aura as a Soul Douluo suddenly pressing down on Shen An.

"You're really naive. I don't care who's right or wrong, but Titan is dead, and you'll have to die with him. Remember, only the strong have a voice!"

Bai He also stepped forward, unleashing another terrifying eight spirit rings. Although it was the best configuration, it was enough to shake people's minds.

The Yu and Min clans, along with more than ten Soul Kings, all revealed their Martial Souls and pressed down on Shen An.

Only Bai Chenxiang and Niu Gao's son, Niu Ben, were at the Soul Venerable level.

Shen Anyi shrugged: "Alright, since only the strong have the right to speak, then let's exterminate the Yu and Min clans."

Niu Gao and Bai He sneered. Was this guy scared out of his wits? What nonsense was he spouting?

Immediately, Shen An's spirit rings bloomed, and everyone present froze, staring at Shen An's spirit rings in disbelief.

"Two...two hundred thousand years!" Niu Gao couldn't help but exclaim, his mind going completely blank.

The white crane's heart was also in turmoil.

How could someone have 100,000 years of experience when they have their fifth spirit ring, let alone their sixth spirit ring which exudes a magnificent aura?

Their gazes instantly turned serious. No amount of attention was too much when facing someone who possessed a 100,000-year soul ring.

This is the number one treasure in the world of Soul Masters, taking Title Douluo as an example.
