Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 145

Shen An thought to himself, if he really kept getting a turn without any luck, he would be devastated.

Fourth day.

Thanks to the draw by Prince Xue Qinghe of Tiandou, the vice-captain of Tiandou was finally no longer left without a bye.

The people from the five academies looked at Xue Qinghe as if they were looking at a wise ruler.

Xue Qinghe remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was overjoyed. In the lottery line, she had already quietly removed the lot that belonged to the vice-captain of Tian Dou.

Otherwise, it's really uncertain whether Shen An will get a bye.

Shen An also faced his first opponent, Thunder Academy!

Yu Tianxin's eyes also revealed excitement: "Bring out the strategy we've prepared long ago, I'm going to defeat them in one fell swoop!" he whispered.

The students from Thunder Academy all had resolute gazes.

When Shen An appeared, all eyes were on him alone.

The champion of the Tiandou division, a lucky winner who received three consecutive byes, who wouldn't be curious about that?

The five academies were all focused on seeing if Shen An was truly a fraud.

The first person sent by Thunder Academy was Lei Mie, whose martial soul was Thundercloud.

His spirit rings lit up one after another, and a thundercloud appeared in the sky, seemingly gathering power as he channeled his spirit energy.

The thunderclouds grew larger and larger, and the thunder roared. In broad daylight, everyone could see the lightning and thunder.

Then, to everyone's surprise, Lei Yun decisively stepped down from the stage after releasing his soul skill.

Shen An merely narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the methods his opponent used to create the environment during their previous battle against Tianshui Chihuo.

Soon, the second one was a support-type Soul Master.

After releasing his soul power onto the thundercloud and stabilizing its shape, he poured all his soul power into it and then decisively stepped down from the platform, making the thundercloud even more powerful.

The same applies to the third, fourth, and fifth Soul Masters.

Everyone who saw the thundercloud was secretly alarmed, and vaguely guessed the purpose of Thunder Academy.

That is to leave the power of the first six people on the field in a special form, and then have one person combine it to unleash it at the end.

Logically speaking, Shen An should have intervened when his opponent did this, but he had no intention of doing so and simply watched his opponent perform.

"They're as confident as ever." This thought occurred to all the teams except those from the five great kingdoms.

Shen An was naturally not afraid. After fusing with the soul bone, his physique and bones were incredibly strong. The Golden Body and Jade Bones were no joke, even though he only had one left arm at the moment.

He really wanted to see just how powerful that attack from the other side was.

The second-to-last person to appear was also a support-type Soul Master.

"Thunder Pillar!"

An invisible pillar forged from lightning appeared on the field, connecting the thunderclouds above and the arena below, continuously supplying lightning power that could be absorbed and utilized by other Soul Masters.

As the Soul Master stepped down, Yu Tianxin rushed forward with lightning speed.

Defeated by Shen An, Huo Wu was determined to win back her victory. As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, he was born proud and wanted to win back the match even more.

Shen An's strength was so great that he was filled with despair. He had no chance of defeating him by himself alone, but Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Academy gave him inspiration.

The powerful lightning energy was continuously transmitted into Yu Tianxin's body through the lightning pillar.

The people of the five kingdoms were puzzled. Why would Thunder Academy gather everyone's strength just to defeat one person?

This is such a waste! Is this person really that important?

Furthermore, the energy that a Soul Master can fuse within their body is limited and is subject to the constraints of their physical strength.

Unless it's a spirit fusion skill, isn't doing this just courting death?

But soon, everyone knew what Yu Tianxin relied on.

First, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the entire venue.

Na'er, standing on the stage, felt a strange sensation upon hearing the dragon's roar.

Yu Tianxin's entire body was radiating dazzling blue lightning, and his arms grew more than half a foot in length, covered with blue-purple scales.

Two yellow and two purple dragons coiled around the dragon's arm.

Everyone is familiar with it; this is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's unique talent: dragon transformation. It is precisely because of this that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex has secured its position among the top three sects.

After level 30, with each additional spirit ring, a part of the body will become similar to a dragon.

But a strange thing happened: Yu Tianxin from the Soul Sect, who was clearly the only one, grew wings on his back and his head turned towards the direction of a dragon.

"Hoohoho!"

In an instant, Yu Tianxin actually used the power of thunder to continuously transform into a dragon, and with the amplification brought by the dragon transformation, she completed the absorption of the terrifying thundercloud.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. His family's martial spirit could do this? It didn't make sense.

The teachers from Thunder Academy in the audience smiled slightly, which was why there were support-type Soul Masters on stage.

The thundercloud stores energy, and the thunder pillars then transmit this energy to Yu Tianxin's body in a reasonable way. When the thundercloud connects to the audience below, it has already filtered out a portion of the violent power.

Although there were some losses during the transitions, it was already the best possible burst of energy.

"Shen An, let's fight!"

Yu Tianxin, who was nearly half-dragon, manipulated lightning, broke free from the lightning pillar and soared into the sky. His huge dragon wings flashed with dazzling lightning, making him look like a real divine dragon.

Beneath the thunderclouds, they were subjected to an even more violent baptism of thunder.

Yu Tianxin felt the abundant energy within her body constantly climbing to its peak, yet she felt no pride whatsoever. After all, it was someone else's energy, which came quickly and went quickly.

What he had to do was, when this energy reached its peak, unhesitatingly transform it into his strongest attack!

The time has come!

"The wind sweeps in, rain comes, clouds obscure the sun, dragons soar through the nine heavens, thunder roars!" Yu Tianxin recited aloud.

As Yu Tianxin launched her attack, the people from Thunder Academy silently prayed for her from below the stage.

The power of this attack is comparable to that of a Soul Saint who has not yet awakened their Martial Soul True Body!

A strong person in the audience couldn't help but speak up.

It's unimaginable that a Soul Master could unleash the power of a Soul Saint, but fortunately, Thunder Academy's attack was greatly limited.

Don't you see how people set up and accumulate power one by one? In a normal fight, who would give you that opportunity?

"hold head high!!!"

Accompanied by a high-pitched and stirring dragon roar.

At this moment, Yu Tianxin, carrying dazzling lightning power, charged towards Shen An like a true divine dragon descending from the heavens, leaving a magnificent trail of flames behind her.

Everyone watched Shen An nervously, wondering how he would respond.

Last time, I was immune to fire because I faced a similarly powerful attack, but I can't be immune to lightning now, can I?

But the next moment, everyone could hardly believe Shen An's response.

Shen An remained motionless, neither releasing his martial spirit nor his spirit rings.

Just like an ordinary person, he clenched his left fist and then unleashed a powerful punch!

Rumble!!!

The hand, as beautiful as jade, met the terrifying dragon claw, but instead of being defeated as expected, it remained as steady as Mount Tai, showing no sign of wavering.

A visible shockwave spread outwards, and those who were close by, especially those with weaker cultivation levels like Yu Xiaogang, almost lost their footing.

At the point where the lightning met the fist, the overwhelming power of thunder surged in continuously, but a flash of jade color completely neutralized the attack.

boom!

Shen An exerted even more force with his left fist, and Yu Tianxin, who had originally been poised to strike with immense force, was sent flying like a broken bag.

A little blood spurted from his mouth.

Everyone stared blankly at this scene. When they fought Blazing Fire earlier, they had at least managed to unleash a sword strike.

Now look what's happened, you defeated your opponent with just one simple punch, that's not fair.

Yu Tianxin, who had regressed to a human state, said tremblingly, "How is this possible?"

Shen An curled his lip. Having absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring and cultivated a portion of the Jade Bone, if he were to be defeated by a Soul Master, he might as well commit suicide.

The teams from the five kingdoms were also stunned, staring at Shen An in horror. They were truly despicable for thinking that such a powerful figure had been throwing the match.

Fortunately, Shen An was off duty. Otherwise, if I had run into Shen An, who was still reckless and provoked me, what if I had been beaten half to death?

A hint of relief flashed in the eyes of the teams from the five kingdoms.

Tang San's eyes emitted a purple light. Shen An frightened him. He could see clearly that Shen An hadn't even used his soul power, but had only relied on his own strength to repel him.

As for the jade-colored substance that resisted the thunderous energy, Tang San quickly came to a guess.

"A soul bone. He possesses a soul bone, and its age is extremely high, definitely over 50,000 years. Only in this way can he withstand this attack."

Tang San said loudly, a malicious glint in his eyes.

To say that Shen An has a soul bone is tantamount to inciting hatred towards Shen An, as no soul master would not want to obtain a soul bone.

During the preliminary rounds, Hu Yanli revealed his Soul Bone, and Soul Douluo Hu Yanzhen dared not leave his grandson for even a moment, fearing that someone would kill him and steal his treasure.

Even a powerful force like the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the lower three sects, has to be so careful, which shows the allure of soul bones.

Shen An glanced at Tang San indifferently. This guy really doesn't know what's good for him. It's not easy to make a move during the Soul Master Competition. Tang Hao is a problem.

However, once he successfully advances to Soul Emperor after the Soul Master Competition, that will be the day he settles scores with this father and son.

As for the exposure of his jade bones, it's not a big deal. He can definitely protect himself now.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Shen An, and among them were many who revealed greedy expressions.

Xue Qinghe stood up first: "Shen An is my friend. Anyone who lays a hand on Shen An is going against the Heavenly Dou Empire!"

Emperor Xueye did not say no.

Ning Fengzhi stood up and said, "Shen An is a friend of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. If you want to harm him, you will have to face the counterattack of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Salas: "Me too!"

The crowd present: "..."

At this moment, they once again recognized Shen An's true worth and secretly made a mental note of him.

The entire room fell silent. Xue Qinghe and the others' public support for Shen An undoubtedly dispelled the greed of most people.

Whether anyone will still be willing to take the risk remains to be seen.

The qualifying rounds are ongoing, and Shen An is unsurprisingly leading all teams in the subsequent matches.

In Wuhun City, within the Wuhun Hall, Bibi Dong received another intelligence report.

Facing Yu Tianxin, whose strength had soared, he didn't even use his soul power, and repelled her with just the power of a single punch.

"Such a prodigy deserves to die!"

"Summon two more Title Douluos!"

Chapter 255 Holy crap, Young Master?! This is going to be difficult! (6000 words)

The fourteen rounds of competition quickly came to an end.

During that time, no matter what divine winds or heavenly waters they encountered, none of them were a match for Shen An.

This time there weren't even any spectators, and Shen An didn't even summon his martial spirit.

The final round was between the Tiandou vice-captain and Shrek Academy.

"Teacher, why do you want me to admit defeat? Last time I wasn't prepared. This time I'm using my full Soul Bone Domain. If I can hurt him, I can defeat him with the poison of the Eight Spider Lances."

Tang San said to Yu Xiaogang with some dissatisfaction, "A great Soul Master whose theories are all plagiarized dares to point fingers at him and teach him how to do things."

If it weren't for the fear of being pointed at and gossiped about by others, and the prospect of reclaiming the Clear Sky Hammer and obtaining the Twin Martial Soul Cultivation Method, he would have severed his master-disciple relationship with Yu Xiaogang.

Having such a master is simply ruining his reputation. After all, Tang San is a pure and virtuous person who cherishes his reputation.

Yu Xiaogang smiled mysteriously: "The outcome of the qualifying rounds is irrelevant. If you make a move now, you will expose your strength, which will be detrimental to the finals."
