Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 212

But then a cat slowly floated down from the sky, just like a piece of paper.

The Soul Emperor with the knife grinned as he watched Tom descend. Although he didn't know why Tom was floating so slowly, he waited until the cat came down.

It's doomed!!!

Tom, who was about to hit the ground, just made an annoying face at the Soul Emperor with the knife, then raised his hands and fired two more shots.

And it took off again into the sky thanks to the recoil from those two shots.

Shen An was stunned. What was the difference between this and the spiral ascension to heaven by stepping on the right foot with the left foot in those ridiculous dramas he used to watch?

That's absolutely outrageous!

Sure enough, he only managed to develop less than one percent of Tom's potential.

Not only him, but everyone present was stunned.

So, every time Tom was about to land, he would fire a shot downwards, then go back up into the air, repeating this cycle endlessly, which was tedious and boring.

The sky had completely darkened, and the Soul Emperor wielding the sword had gone from being furious at the beginning to being numb now.

boom!

Two more bullets were fired, and the Soul Emperor, looking exhausted, raised his sword and knocked them away.

At this moment, Shen An had already come to Na'er's side, and shamelessly rubbed Na'er's little face, pinching it into various shapes.

Na'er yawned wearily, "Teacher Tom is unreliable. He said he would teach me real marksmanship, but he doesn't even dare to shoot directly with others."

Na'er muttered a complaint under her breath, and then Shen An stared wide-eyed in disbelief as Na'er's words materialized and scurried into Tom's head.

Swish swish!

At that moment, Tom felt as if his heart had been pierced by countless arrows; he had actually been rejected by his own little girl.

"Meow~!"

Tom roared to the sky, determined to prove to his little girl that his cat master was also very powerful!

Then, Tom fired bang bang bang bang, his two pistols almost smoking.

The Soul Emperor, wielding the knife, was so frightened that he first gathered a protective shield of soul power, and then stared at the night sky without daring to blink, after all, he could not underestimate the power of these bullets.

In an instant, he blocked a barrage of bullets using his soul power shield and the large sword in his hand.

Just when he thought he could take a break, he found that the sound of bullets had not stopped at all; on the contrary, more and more bullets were being fired.

Upon closer inspection, a large number of handguns appeared suspended in the air, and they were even automatically simulating motion.

The Soul Emperor, wielding the knife, was in a daze as countless bullets rained down, continuously draining his soul power.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I surrender!"

The Soul Emperor with the knife cried out with a bitter expression, "This is too damn bullying! Who can beat this? If you had this trick up your sleeve, you should have said so earlier. Why did we have to drag this out until now?"

Na'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she instantly felt that the silver dragon spear in her hand was no longer appealing.

"Brother Shen An, this is amazing! I want to learn this!"

Shen An paused for a moment, then coaxed softly, "Na'er, be good. We won't learn those crooked methods. We'll just focus on practicing our marksmanship."

Na'er pouted and said, "But Teacher Tom's marksmanship is really good. Na'er wants to learn it."

Was Tom's move impressive? Of course it was; after all, the last person to use it was his older brother, Drewby.

The problem is, across the entire Douluo Continent, apart from Tom Jerry, no one can learn this marksmanship, or rather, anyone who tries would be ruined.

Upon hearing the image of the Soul Emperor wielding a knife, all the guns floating in the air instantly ceased firing.

Then the massive fighting arena collapsed instantly, raising a cloud of dust. Everyone stared in disbelief as the arena was sculpted into a giant cat statue.

"Hiss!" Everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief. It was one thing for cats to fight, but for you to fight and create your own sculpture at the same time? That was just too outrageous.

Even Ning Rongrong, who was initially feeling down, is now much more relaxed. Tom brings so much emotional value that her mind is now filled with thoughts of how incredibly funny Tom can be!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Over the next two days, Shen An managed the situation perfectly, spending time with Zhu Zhuqing and also specifically seeking out Ning Rongrong.

The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could all see Shen An paired up with Zhu Zhuqing or Ning Rongrong, and at the same time, they couldn't help but mutter under their breath, "Pah! Scumbag."

Tom also took advantage of these two days to not slack off and seriously taught Na'er proper marksmanship.

Shen An also fought Na'er using only swordsmanship, and couldn't help but admire Na'er's talent. However, he was somewhat worried about the little girl's inability to grow up.

After all, he knew that Na'er's original form was a creature that Tom Jerry brought from the mysterious lake, which was suspected to be a powerful soul beast.

However, there's no point in overthinking. As long as he's strong enough, even if the soul beast wants to regain control of Na'er's consciousness, it will have to ask the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his hand for permission.

Shen An also met the catwoman. Because of Shen An, the catwoman Shen Yi received very good treatment at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. She was also very well-behaved and cultivated very diligently.

However, when she learned about the relationship between Shen An and Zhu Zhuqing, her face turned pale instantly, and her eyes became dull and lifeless.

In the end, Shen An didn't say anything more to him. He already had enough emotional debts on his mind and it wasn't wise to cause any more trouble.

Two days later, after bidding farewell to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong again, Shen An embarked on his journey back to the Spirit Hall, for the Soul Hunting Operation was no joke.

-

As soon as Shen An returned to the Spirit Hall and transformed back into Yan Chixia to return to his room, he was attacked.

First, she splashed water on him to reveal his true appearance, and then she moved her body close to his.

The person who attacked him had blond hair and golden eyes; it was none other than Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue was dressed in a palace gown woven with gold thread. The golden stand-up collar firmly protected her snow-white and slender neck, giving her an aura of being high above and unapproachable.

Yet, those golden eyes also held a burning desire to devour Shen An.

Those moist red lips awkwardly reached for Shen An's mouth.

Shen An was gradually moved, but the images of Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong kept flashing through his mind, making him feel uneasy and a sense of immorality welled up in his heart.

Shen An immediately pushed Qian Renxue away forcefully, and Qian Renxue said unhappily, "What are you doing!"

Shen An weakly pointed to Tom and Jerry beside him: "They're still watching. This scene is a bit inappropriate for children."

Qian Renxue then gave a soft hum, waved her hand, and a gentle stream of soul power sent the two little ones into the courtyard, before closing the doors and windows tightly.

Tom and Jerry stared blankly at the closed room. Wait, you just left us out here like that?!

Shen An looked at Qian Renxue with a slightly solemn expression. He had always known that Qian Renxue liked him, liked him very much, but this was too proactive.

Today's behavior is simply extremely abnormal.

"Xiaoxue, are you sure you're conscious?" Shen An asked, using his sword intent, but only to intimidate.

Sure enough, the burning desire in Qian Renxue's eyes faded completely, replaced by clarity.

She looked at Shen An with lingering fear and said, "Shen An, that seems to be me, but it's not me. To be more precise, it's my negative consciousness?"

Shen An frowned. Logically speaking, someone like Qian Renxue, who underwent the test of the angels, should have an extremely bright inner world. Why would she have negative thoughts?

"How about I use my mental power to examine you? But it might make you feel uncomfortable?" Shen An said after hesitating for a moment.

Qian Renxue nodded without hesitation.

Shen An said, "Simple investigation may not be useful, so I will use soul power combined with mental power to investigate your body. In that case, you may feel like you are being seen through."

"It doesn't matter, just come on over." Qian Renxue said calmly. What did she have to be afraid of? At worst, she could just turn the tables and eat Shen An.

Shen An no longer hesitated and placed his hand on Qian Renxue's body, his soul power combined with his spiritual power flowing through every inch of Qian Renxue's skin and every meridian.

Qian Renxue's body, as perceived by her, was as naked as if it were naked, no, it was seen through even more deeply than nakedness.

Qian Renxue couldn't help but let out a groan, her cheeks burning hot. This feeling made her feel completely exposed in front of Shen An.

Perhaps she can accept it subjectively, but objectively it is still quite embarrassing.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the house gradually became enchanting.

Qian Renxue collapsed into Shen An's arms like a lump of mud, and Shen An could even feel that the beauty in his arms seemed to have no bones.

He instinctively wanted to stop what he was doing, but Qian Renxue said in a trembling voice, "No need to stop, keep going, I can do it."

Qian Renxue's expression even revealed a hint of enjoyment, but this was not purely because of the embarrassing feeling, but rather because she wanted to find out about the inexplicable changes she had experienced earlier.

After all, apart from Shen An, Qian Renxue would never allow a second person to do such a thing to her.

Shen An nodded and continued the examination, going through it again and again for a hundred years, until the entire body was examined.

But they still gained nothing.

Shen An fell into thought. Could it be that Qian Renxue's previous behavior was normal?

No, that expression of intense desire is definitely not normal; that look in his eyes is more like someone whose negative emotions have been triggered.

There is still one part of Qian Renxue's body that he has not yet explored.

That was the six-winged angel mark between Qian Renxue's eyebrows.

Qian Renxue seemed to see through Shen An's thoughts and said, "Why don't you give it a try? However, the angelic mark should be fine, and ordinary mental power may have difficulty probing anything."

Shen An said, "Then I'll give it a try, but it's better to check everything."

Immediately, Shen An's eyes turned into a lofty and supreme sky blue, and a small sword flew into the mark between Qian Renxue's eyebrows.

He instinctively sensed a barrier, but because Qian Renxue's body and mind were completely open to him, he only experienced a slight fluctuation before entering her.

In a daze, the consciousness that realized it had entered a wondrous golden space.

The golden space was filled with a sacred aura, but Shen An keenly sensed a slight incongruity.

His mind scanned his surroundings and he saw an angel sculpture. It looked exactly like the angel sculptures in the Douluo Hall and the Elder Hall, but it was even more realistic and detailed.

No, there are still differences.

This angel sculpture is in two colors: light and dark!

Chapter 313 A Moment of Light and Darkness, A Heart Full of Hatred

"Are you so eager to see me?"

A voice, seemingly both real and unreal, echoed in this golden space.

Suddenly, the surrounding golden space began to tremble, and the ripples of golden light spread out in concentric circles like flowing water.

The angel seemed to come alive, its wings, displaying both light and dark colors, fluttering gently as it approached Shen An.

Shen An simply examined the "angel" in front of him who looked exactly like Qian Renxue.

"Are you that angelic thought, or the negative emotions in Qian Renxue's heart?"

Shen An said directly.

The angel suddenly revealed a shy expression: "How annoying! You used to call me Xiaoxue when we were strolling under the flowers and moon, but now you're calling me by my full name."

Shen An ignored the "angel's" affected manner. The blue light emanating from his body was sharp and cold, which was the materialization of sword intent in the spiritual space.

But the "angel" remained unmoved and instead looked at Shen An with a smile: "What, do you want to make a move against me? Then you'd better think carefully about whether it will have any negative impact on her."

"I advise you to be honest. If you obediently comply with me, I might tell you everything if I'm in a good mood."

As they spoke, the "angel," who was originally a mix of light and dark, turned from golden hair to white, and her brilliant golden eyes to dark pupils, now resembling an abyss that devoured people's minds. Her golden wings were also quickly covered by black.

It's clearly the same face, but if the original Qian Renxue's appearance was majestic and sacred, then this woman's is alluring and makes people unable to help but fall into her trap.

Her red lips were like flames, yet her face held a wicked and alluring expression: "That woman, Qian Renxue, all she thinks about all day is kissing and hugging; there's no passion in anything she does."

"Shen An, come here and lick my toes. If you make me feel pleasure, I can tell you everything you want to know."

Dark Thousand Blades' face was filled with malice, and she even raised her calf and stretched her toes.

Her feet were exquisite, like works of art, with skin as smooth as cream, and every line on the instep revealed the perfection of nature.

At the ankle, the slightly protruding knuckles outline a charming curve, while the dainty toes, like the most exquisite seashells, are pink and tender yet powerful.

'Why not take a lick? I don't think I'd lose anything anyway?' Shen An's thoughts seemed to be controlled by some emotion in an instant, and suddenly he was pulled down as if into darkness.

'Something's wrong. This woman is influencing me with her negative emotions!' Shen An guarded his mind with sword intent, cutting off all distracting thoughts.

Immediately, the blue light around him vanished, and he said, "You seem to know everything about us. Believe me or not, I'll let the cat in!"

Originally, when Hei An Qian Renxue saw Shen An withdraw his sword intent, a smile was about to appear on her exquisitely beautiful face, which was exactly the same as Qian Renxue's. However, she heard Shen An's words about releasing the cat.

Dark Qianrenxue couldn't hold back any longer. She had Qianrenxue's memories and naturally knew about the cat's strangeness.
