Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 127

However, considering that Yu Xiaogang could ultimately solve his problem of cultivating twin martial souls, Tang San still maintained the demeanor of a good student.

"Come on, Tang San, I'm genuinely happy for you that you've achieved this level of cultivation," Dai Mubai said, raising his wine glass to Tang San.

Tang San casually raised his cup and clinked it with Xiao Dai's. Xiao Dai drank it all in one gulp, while Tang San took a small sip.

All he could think about was how to humiliate or even kill Shen An in the highly anticipated Soul Master Competition.

Chapter 228 Some people started to disagree.

"It's been almost half a year, and the Soul Master Competition is starting in a little over a month. This guy still hasn't come back. Is he not planning to come back?"

Ning Rongrong, holding a dumbbell in Shen An's courtyard, said listlessly.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression froze for a moment, her eyes filled with longing.

What is Shen An doing? I wonder if he's having a hard time out there.

-

At Dugu Bo's mansion, Shen An and Xue Qinghe were already quite drunk.

Fine wine, delicious food, and good friends—it couldn't be more enjoyable.

I only planned to have a light drink, but the more I drank, the more tipsy I became, and the happier we got from chatting, the more we couldn't stop.

Tom and Jerry quietly took Na'er away; children should go to bed early and get up early.

"Shen An, do you believe that I will definitely unify the continent? Don't you like fame? I will spread your fame throughout the entire continent."

Xue Qinghe's face was slightly flushed as she spoke in a drunken daze.

Shen An silently put some food on Xiao Pa Cai's plate: "Don't just drink alcohol, eat some peanuts."

Xue Qinghe was taken aback. Although he didn't understand, he felt that he had been looked down upon.

"Keep drinking. I've never drunk so comfortably in my life. Shen An, you're the first."

Shen An's head was also a little dizzy, and neither of them used their soul power to dispel the effects of the alcohol.

"Phew~ That felt so good!"

The next day, early morning.

"Ahhh!"

A sharp sound reached Shen An's ears, and he groggily opened his eyes, only to be hit in the face by a pillow.

"What did you do to me last night? How did we end up in the same room?!"

Xue Qinghe roared angrily, while Shen An looked around in confusion.

Raising his hand, he reported: "Brother Xue, what can we do besides drinking until we black out?"

"But you can't sleep in the same room."

Shen An touched the hard floor beneath him: "At least you're on the bed, I'm on the floor. Don't worry, Brother Xue, nothing happened between us."

Xue Qinghe then realized that he had been somewhat out of line and sat on the bed, feeling a little embarrassed.

This is the first time in my life I've shared a room with a man.

Just then, a hand quietly climbed onto her shoulder: "Brother Xue, why are you reacting so strongly? You're acting like a little girl. We're both real men."

"None of your business, I like to sleep alone." When Xue Qinghe heard Shen An say that she was like a little girl, she panicked instinctively and hurriedly got up and walked outside.

"Leave the registration to me, I'll get it done for you quickly."

Shen An smiled brightly, then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He slept straight through until noon, while a little purple-eyed girl stared longingly at Shen An by the bedside.

Shen An was startled at first, but relaxed when he realized it was Na'er.

"What's wrong, Na'er?"

"Brother Shen An, after Na'er awakened that martial soul yesterday, she took a nap and three circles appeared on her body."

As Na'er spoke, a silver spear, twelve feet long, appeared in her hand. The spear was slender and covered with fine silver scales.

Na'er stood the spear upright on the ground, but she was less than half the height of the spear, which looked rather comical.

Shen An watched with great interest as the three purple soul rings appeared on Na'er's body. Although he knew that Na'er should be a reincarnation of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, he was still slightly amazed.

This is not much better than that rogue rabbit, and even Dugu Bo said that Na'er was extraordinary, but he did not recognize her soul beast cultivation level.

"Na'er is great, brother will teach you how to protect yourself, okay?" Shen An said with a smile.

"it is good!"

Two days later.

Inside the mansion, Na'er, holding a silver dragon spear, imitated Tom's spear technique.

Originally, it was Shen An who taught him. Although he knew swordsmanship, it wouldn't hurt to teach him the basics of spear fighting and combat techniques.

As a result, Master Tang, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore. He took out a wooden spear and easily defeated Shen An. Even the Concept God couldn't fight him.

So, after Na'er exclaimed how amazing Teacher Tom was, Tom began to teach Na'er how to shoot.

"Brother Xue is here. The registration should be settled by now."

Xue Qinghe curled his lips slightly: "Commissioner Meng thought that you would join the second team and six people would come to support you."

“But when I relayed your message to them, they all thought you were being ridiculous. No matter how strong one person is, they can't match the strength of a group, especially since you have to take care of six-year-old Na’er.”

Shen An remained silent. He knew that since he had made the request, Xue Qinghe would do his best to fulfill it.

As expected, seeing that Shen An had no reaction, Xue Qinghe thought to himself, "This is boring," and continued:

"After my reasoned argument, the Dream Education Committee agreed that as long as you can prove your strength, not only can Na'er participate, but the other team members will also choose to watch instead."

"That's easy. Why don't we go to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy now and get the registration sorted out as soon as possible?" Shen An smiled wryly.

"By the way, Zhu Qing and Rong Rong aren't at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, are they?" Shen An asked.

"Don't worry, they rarely go to the academy."

-

Shen An and Xue Qinghe took Na'er to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Meng Shenji had been waiting for a long time, his face calm, but inwardly he was filled with bitter smiles.

What kind of situation is this? Shen An, whom he favored the most, not only insisted on joining the second team, but also wanted to bring a six-year-old toddler to participate in the competition.

That was outrageous enough, but it didn't end there. They even said that the other five people would be enough to fill the quota, and the two of them could participate in the competition.

Meng Shenji was furious. Did he think the competition was a joke? If it weren't for the fact that the person who came was Xue Qinghe, Meng Shenji would have told him to get out immediately.

“Dream Education Committee, it’s been a long time.”

Meng Shenji looked at the little girl next to Shen An with a solemn expression. He could actually sense a considerable fluctuation of soul power emanating from this little girl.

This power is roughly equivalent to that of a Soul Master, and naturally nothing compared to him, a Soul Douluo. But this power is appearing in a six-year-old girl.

This is absolutely outrageous.

"Long time no see, Shen An." Meng Shenji's gaze lingered on Na'er for a few seconds before slowly shifting away.

"I understand your request. As long as you can defeat the original Tiandou Second Team, and completely defeat them, I will agree to let them watch the game. From now on, the stage will belong to you and this little girl."

"Otherwise, I would actually prefer you to join the first team."

“Commissioner Meng, let’s go. Let me prove it to you.”

Meng Shenji gave a helpless bitter smile and led Shen An into the academy.

Shen An smiled when he saw the members of the Tian Dou Second Team; they were all familiar faces.

The former avalanche underlings, including Shao Hu, along with two agility-type soul masters, Oslo and Yu Feng.

Team Tiandou ultimately couldn't bear to part with Ye Lingling's powerful healing, and with Zhu Zhuqing proving with her own strength that two agility-type soul masters were nothing in front of her.

Therefore, Oslo and Yufeng both came to the second team.

"Members of Team Two, if you can inflict even the slightest damage on him today, then you can continue to represent Team Two in the competition."

"Otherwise, you will be watching the entire competition from here on out, seeing him and that little girl fight."

Shao Hu and the others' faces instantly darkened. This was too humiliating. Even if the opponent was a Soul Master, it couldn't be said that he could completely defeat them.

Only Yu Feng and Oslo looked at each other, seemingly recalling the day they were ruled by Shen An.

But is it possible to win without taking any damage?

Chapter 229 What a fast sword strike!

Enemies meeting are bound to be hostile, and Shao Hu and his group, who already had a grudge against Shen An, were now unleashing their soul power without reservation.

"I'd like to see how you manage to turn things upside down all by yourself!"

Shao Hu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had been tricked by a cat and a mouse in the past, and today he would take Shen An down with him!

Yu Feng and Oslo exchanged a glance. They had already been relegated to the second team. If they didn't fight for a chance to play, they would have wasted their lives.

"If it's just about injuring Shen An, that shouldn't be too difficult," the two thought to themselves, their fighting spirit burning within them.

The powerful soul energy fluctuations of the seven people pressed down on Shen An, but Shen An seemed to feel nothing at all, simply looking at them calmly.

Meng Shenji frowned slightly. Shen An was being far too arrogant. The difficulty of winning without taking any damage was extremely high.

Don't even mention that Shen An is just a Soul Master; even a Soul Emperor wouldn't dare say that he could defeat five Soul Venerables and two Soul Masters without taking any damage.

Xue Qinghe smiled, her confidence in Shen An as unimaginable as her confidence in herself.

Shen An calmly looked at the seven people who felt underestimated, then casually picked up a blade of grass and said, "Let's get started. Don't waste time."

Upon hearing this, the seven men flew into a rage, roaring as they charged toward Shen An.

And in the very next moment.

Shen An vanished from the spot as if he had never been there.

Clang!

A clear sword hum rang out, and the seven members of the second team instinctively felt a chill on their necks, as if they had been touched by water.

They all reached out and wiped their hands, only to find their palms covered in blood. The expressions on their faces instantly became incredibly complex, and deep fear appeared in their eyes.

One after another, they collapsed to their knees, trembling uncontrollably; they had just been on the verge of death.

"Are you going to kill us?!" Shao Hu was terrified and shouted frantically at Shen An.

Shen An casually tossed the blood-stained blade of grass on the ground and turned to Meng Shenji: "Commissioner Meng, can you agree to my request now?"

Oslo and Yufeng stared in disbelief at the blade of grass slowly drifting to the ground. They hadn't been injured by their martial spirits, but defeated by a common blade of grass.

Xue Qinghe was startled: 'Such a fast sword strike.'

Meng Shenji seemed to turn into a wooden sculpture, and after a long while, he came back to his senses: "Okay, okay."

He looked at Shen An with the same eyes one would use to look at a monster. Just now, Shen An's speed was definitely at the level of a Soul Saint, which was why the seven people from Oslo fell down without any power to resist.

How old is Shen An? Fifteen years old? Such terrifying strength is unheard of.

Immediately, Meng Shenji's eyes became incredibly ardent, and he looked at Shen An as if he were looking at an unparalleled beauty.

He could almost see that the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had already secured the championship of this year's Soul Master Tournament.

"Shen An, give me your information and that girl's information."

Shen An took the papers he had prepared and said, "Committee Member Meng, don't tell Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong about me going to the second team. Also, just say afterwards that you made a mistake when you registered."

Meng Shenji looked at Shen An strangely, really not understanding what this kid was thinking. Moreover, he wanted to go to the second team and make them take the blame. If it were anyone else, he would have told them to get lost long ago.

But... this person is Shen An, and he endured it for the sake of this year's championship.

When Meng Shenji opened the message, he instantly felt that even with his Contra Douluo cultivation level, he was somewhat unable to control it.

Shen An, fifteen years old, level 50 Soul Master.

Na'er, six years old, level thirty-four Soul Master.

Meng Shenji, who always prided himself on being knowledgeable and worldly-wise, suddenly felt his legs go weak, both because of Shen An and because of Na'er.
