Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 110

Feeling the injuries within his body, Flander transformed back into human form, a deep sense of depression making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Fuck your mother!"

Flander, who always prided himself on being quite shrewd, started cursing loudly, venting his resentment.

Chapter 202 I'm Going to Become a Stray Cat, Sad Tom

Tom Jerry, seeing Shen An disappear, immediately ran back after him.

The two little ones once again demonstrated their amazing speed, their legs turning into whirlwinds as they dashed back in a flash.

The sound of footsteps made Flander, who was roaring in anger, look over, and something ran past.

Flander was dumbfounded. The two dogs, one big and one small, had the same earth-colored heads, but their bodies were different colors – one was blue and the other was brown.

Moreover, Flander inexplicably felt that one of the dogs was cat-like and the other was mouse-like.

Most importantly, the speed of these two dogs was something he himself couldn't match.

Flander felt a chill run through his body and, enduring the excruciating pain, ran towards Tiandou City.

The speed that would make even a Soul Saint of Agility and Attack feel inferior must be at least 70,000 years or more. He had to run quickly, or he would really be doomed if he was being watched.

Shen An had already returned to the place he had arranged to meet Tom and Jerry, and as expected, Flander did not dare to chase after him.

That's why he had Tom draw a spirit ring for him, so that he could intimidate him again after the fight.

These two little ones are clapping and playing nonchalantly right now, you clap once, I clap once, we're the kind of friends who are always together.

Shen An looked at them suspiciously: "Why are you two so sweaty?"

Tom and Jerry whistled nonchalantly, indicating that nothing had happened.

Shen An stopped asking questions and prepared to take the two of them to the Kingdom of Barak.

Barak, as the most powerful kingdom in the Tiandou territory, is extremely prosperous. Coincidentally, Shen An is a vengeful person. He was targeted for no reason last time, so how could he not get revenge?

Shen An gained a great deal from his fight with Flander and developed a clear understanding of his own combat capabilities.

He might lack in strength and soul power, but in terms of speed alone, he could already keep up with a high-level Soul Saint like Flander.

Furthermore, thanks to the sharpness of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, he made up for his lack of strength and soul power. In other words, in a head-on confrontation, if Shen An wielded his sword and slashed out, his opponent would basically not dare to meet the attack and could only evade and maneuver to fight.

Therefore, Shen An's assessment of himself was that he could fight ordinary Soul Saints, and he was not afraid even if the opponent activated their Martial Soul True Body.

As for high-level Soul Saints, if the opponent does not activate their Martial Soul True Body, Shen An can fight them head-on. If the opponent activates their Martial Soul True Body, Shen An will be able to protect himself.

If he took a drug, like a speed potion or a strength potion, even Contra Shen An would dare to fight him.

Therefore, Shen An planned to collect some interest from that Soul Saint when he went to the Kingdom of Barak. He didn't intend to kill him, but he wanted to at least cripple him.

Thinking this, Shen An casually rinsed the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass with water and returned the three fake soul rings to Tom.

Watching the paint dissolve as it was washed away by the water, Shen An was quite amazed.

Sometimes Shen An didn't know how to evaluate Tom Jerry's abilities.

You might say they're reasonable, but they can color martial spirits, even change the color of spirit power, and draw patterns on swords; sometimes, patterns even pop up.

But you might say they're being unreasonable. They call it painting, but when you rinse it with plain water, all the paint comes off instantly.

Shen An stopped thinking about it; since he couldn't figure it out anyway, he took out the old car and prepared to leave.

Walking is out of the question; why would anyone walk when there's a car around?

Shen An held a map he had bought in Tiandou City, looking at how to get to the Barak Kingdom.

"Tom, head southwest," Shen An instructed the driver, Tom the cat.

Tom raised the cat's paw in a salute, then quickly got into the car and stepped on the gas without hesitation.

"Buzzing."

A thick plume of black smoke billowed from the rear of the car, which sped away into the distance, quickly becoming a black dot.

"Cough cough cough."

As the black smoke dissipated, Shen An and Jerry, covered in soot, remained coughing in place.

Shen An and Jerry exchanged a glance, then, their faces filled with panic, they chased after Tom in the direction he had gone.

That silly cat left them both behind.

"Tom, stop the car! We're still here!" Shen An and Jerry took off after him, shouting urgently as they ran.

Strangely enough, the old car, which is usually not very fast, was unusually fast today.

And so it drove off, he chased, but he could never catch it.

Tom pressed the accelerator hard, one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the side of the car, enjoying the breeze.

Huh? Why does the car interior feel so spacious this time? Three question marks flashed across Tom's mind.

Before Tom could think it through, the old car ran over a rock, causing it to lurch and knock away the three question marks, thus clearing up Tom's doubts.

It drove on happily, even taking out a portable music player and playing its favorite symphony.

Half a day later.

Shen An grew more and more desperate as he ran. He was already exhausted from fighting Flander, and he just wanted to relax by taking a ride, but he didn't expect to suffer like this.

Jerry was so tired he was sticking out his tongue; that silly cat really wouldn't look back.

Just as Shen An was about to give up, Tom suddenly stopped his car in front of a city.

Shen An and Jerry were overjoyed. They finally stopped and mustered their strength to continue running.

The city ahead is Tianshui City, which is also the location of Tianshui Academy. It is not far from Tiandou City. Strictly speaking, the five academies are located in five different cities, and Tiandou City is not far from any of them.

After all, the closer to Tiandou City, the better the resources and environment. As for why it's not inside or beside Tiandou City...

One reason is that the reputation of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is bad, and they are afraid that its students will affect the academic atmosphere.

On the other hand, it is also due to the division of each power. The five major academies all have the support of the forces behind them, so they naturally need to develop locally.

Otherwise, what if their students are abducted right after graduation? They definitely need to stay in the area to exert influence over them.

Tom, who had just arrived in Tianshui City, suddenly realized that Shen An and Jerry were missing, and Catface panicked.

Where did my owner and Jerry go? Did they abandon me? Am I going to become a stray cat?

Tom's fur stood on end. His biggest fear was becoming a stray cat. Stray cats would only be bullied by other wild cats and would never have enough to eat or wear.

Tom jumped out of the car in a panic, wanting to find Shen An and Jerry.

Since Tianshui City is located near Tiandou City, it is naturally extremely prosperous, with a constant stream of people coming and going.

The vintage car, something not belonging to the Douluo Continent, naturally attracted a lot of attention. In fact, everyone was shocked when they saw that a cat got out of the car.

What the heck is this? A strange, walking, carriage-like soul tool, and a lonely cat.

All eyes in Tianshui City were on Tom, making him break out in a cold sweat.

Why are so many people staring at me? I'm so scared.

Timid Tom's body went limp instantly, and the cat, like a boneless snake, wriggled back into the old car on the ground.

This strange scene attracted the attention of passersby.

At that moment, a pair of greedy eyes also looked over.

"Such an amazing soul tool and a cat, if sold to those big shots, they would definitely be worth a lot of money."

Chapter 203 Rubbing a Human Cubs

Tom was hiding under the seat of the old car, curled up in a ball, trembling with fear.

"Haha, sorry everyone, this is my soul tool and my cat. I'll take them with me now."

Tian Tieshan grinned, his face full of fat, and strode to the old car. He looked inside and saw a cat with a human-like expression of fear.

Tom panicked. He'd run into cat traffickers! Help! Shen An, Jerry, where are you?

'This cat is so agile, it's going to be a fortune! But how do I take this soul tool with me?' Tian Tieshan was troubled; it was the first time he had ever seen something like this.

"You're lying. This cat isn't yours. You were here first, and the cat appeared later," a delicate little girl who looked only seven or eight years old said in a childish voice.

As soon as he said this, people around him started pointing and whispering about Tian Tieshan.

"Go away, who is this brat from? I don't have time to deal with you." Tian Tieshan was a little embarrassed. Doing bad things is one thing, but being called out in public is another.

"Damn it, this is my cat. Let's see who dares to talk nonsense now." Tian Tieshan stomped the ground heavily, and a white and a yellow spirit ring appeared.

The people around them immediately fell silent. This was a Soul Master, the most prestigious profession on the entire continent, a well-deserved privileged class.

“No, you’re lying,” the little girl continued, pointing at Tian Tieshan.

"Damn it, you're talking nonsense at such a young age. I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents."

Tian Tieshan said angrily, and at the same time, his short and stocky body rushed in front of the little girl, and he stretched out his big, bony hand to hit her.

No one dared to look anymore. That was a slap from a Soul Master! If this little girl had been hit, her life would have been ruined.

Tom, who had been peeking out of the car, saw this and panicked. "No, I have to save her!" he thought.

Shui Yu'er was so frightened that she instinctively closed her eyes.

"boom!"

The slap she expected didn't land on her face. Instead, Tian Tieshan swayed unsteadily, a large bump rising on his head and body.

"Can a person really get such a big bump?" Shui Yu'er thought, biting her palm.

The people around were stunned. What they had just seen was an incredibly long cat claw extending from the strange soul tool and then striking Tian Tieshan hard with a hammer.

Can a cat's arm really reach that far? This question arose in the mind of Douluo Dalu, who had never watched Tom and Jerry.

Tom shrank back into the car, his little heart pounding. How terrifying! He had just hit the cat trafficker! It scared the cat to death.

Tian Tieshan shook his head vigorously, reached out and touched the large bump on his head, hissed in pain, and his anger intensified.

His fleshy face now looked even more ferocious and terrifying as he roared, "Who! Who hit me!"

Clearly, no one would answer his questions.

Tian Tieshan said coldly, "Fine, fine, since no one is going to speak, then I'll beat this little girl to death today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he channeled his soul power into his arm and slapped the little girl hard again. If this blow landed, Shui Yu'er would definitely not be able to escape.

Shui Yu'er's big eyes were filled with tears. This person is so mean. Why aren't my sisters coming over yet? They said they would come over after buying me a candied hawthorn.

Just as Tian Tieshan revealed a ferocious smile, he said, "You're afraid to come out, aren't you? Then I'll force you to come out."

Besides, even if he killed these civilians, no one would dare to say anything.

But the next moment, he felt as if his hand was being tightly gripped by an iron clamp, and it hurt terribly.

Dusty and weary from running all the way, Shen An coldly stared at the man. How could someone be so heartless as to lay a hand on a little girl?

Tom, who had been secretly watching, jumped out excitedly. It turned out that Shen An hadn't abandoned him after all.

Shen An looked at Tom gesturing in front of him and instantly understood what Tom meant.

"You mean, this person just tried to kidnap you and bullied others."

Tom nodded his little head and pointed at Tian Tieshan, meaning that this person was very bad.

At this moment, Tian Tieshan was sweating profusely, because he had just used all his strength and soul power, but he still could not break free from Shen An's grasp.

He instantly realized that Shen An was a tough nut to crack.

"Brother, since it's your cat, I'll be leaving now. I was just looking at it and thinking of finding it an owner." Tian Tieshan rolled his eyes and talked nonsense without changing his expression.

Shen An smiled brightly and said gently, "Is that so? Then should I thank you?"

Tian Tieshan quickly laughed and said, "You're too kind, brother. No need for thanks. Let go of me first; I have some things to take care of."

Tom and Jerry were frantically gesturing to each other, how could they let the bad guy get away?

Shen An smiled even more brightly: "Okay, I'll let go right now."

Tian Tieshan was overjoyed, thinking he had escaped a calamity.

But the next moment, Tian Tieshan felt a strong sense of weightlessness and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
