Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 173

A flash of blue light, and spears and swords clashed.

"Drink!" Yang Wudi shouted, as if to vent his anger over the death of his old friend.

He makes it sound easy. Bai He died at Tang San's hands, but if Bai He hadn't been severely injured by Shen An, would he have been able to escape from Tang San with his unparalleled speed?

Yang Wudi's mind was in turmoil, but his hands kept moving; he had come here today to vent his frustrations.

He vented his anger at the tragic death of his friend and his frustration at having pursued Tang San for months without success.

The fifth spirit ring on the spear lit up, and a ring of black flames suddenly rose from around his body.

But when the spear and sword clashed, the sharp sword energy completely annihilated his black flames that could harm one's soul.

The Soul-Shattering Spear was deflected, and Shen An attacked Yang Wudi with unparalleled speed, sword after sword.

Sword light and spear shadows collided like thunder, their twisting and changing figures filling the small space.

Yang Wudi grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, resorting to every means imaginable except for his Martial Soul True Body.

But Shen An only used swordsmanship and soul power to fight him, without even revealing his soul rings.

Yang Wudi immediately realized that Shen An was using him as a practice subject for his swordsmanship.

A sense of frustration welled up within him, and he vaguely felt that times had changed.

As my mind wandered, another sword struck, like an assassin lurking in the darkness, impossible to defend against.

Suddenly it transforms into a gentle breeze, drifting erratically, or like thunder, its force surging fiercely.

Finally, the gleaming blade stopped between Yang Wudi's eyes; just one inch further and Yang Wudi would have died.

Yang Wudi's spirits seemed to collapse in an instant, but then Shen An suddenly sheathed his sword.

For a moment, he was filled with mixed feelings: "I lost. If you ever give me an order, I, Yang Wudi, will obey even if it means going through fire and water."

Bai Chenxiang's eyes held both hatred and envy. If she had Shen An's talent, could she avenge her grandfather?

Shen An smiled wryly: "I was just lucky."

'Just luck?' Yang Wudi looked at Shen An, who hadn't even revealed his spirit rings. The word 'just luck' sounded extremely grating to him.

Yang Wudi felt quite embarrassed for suddenly getting into a fight with someone and not even winning. He was about to turn around and leave when he realized it wasn't a good idea.

Yang Wudi hesitated before saying, "I know that the Spirit Hall has issued a warrant for your arrest, and I also know that there is a mysterious powerful figure who has restricted those above the Title Douluo level from attacking you."

"Even I am no match for you, let alone the other Soul Douluos."

"Since that's the case, why don't you take the opportunity to travel around? You're very strong and young, and seeing more might be more helpful to you."

Shen An seemed to be thinking about it. Traveling seemed like a good suggestion.

Now, if he wants to make rapid progress again, he can only rely on increasing his fame value, so he might as well focus on cultivating his mind first.

At the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong also received news about Shen Anjian's killing of the Yu and Min clans.

A great sense of dread arose in her heart, and she glared fiercely at the Douluo Palace with frosty eyes.

"It seems we need to put the pursuit of Shen An on hold for now; Contra is no match for him."

“Perhaps, he was also responsible for the destruction of the Black Tiger Sect.” Bibi Dong’s expression was slightly distorted.

What terrifying talent! Bibi Dong remembered that Shen An was not even seventeen years old according to the application materials.

'No, I can't fall out with that old man now. I'll wait two more years, until I pass the first seven tests of the Rakshasa God Exam.'

Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how talented she was, there were more than just titled Douluo in this world, as well as gods who were high above.

Without the inheritance of a divine position, becoming a god is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

According to the secret records of the Spirit Hall, both the Angel God and the Sea God on Seagod Island spent thousands of years collecting faith after becoming peerless Douluo before they could become gods.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's expression improved considerably.

But not long after, her beautiful face turned somber again, and she sensed that the sacred aura in the Elder Hall had grown stronger.

"Qian Daoliu, you are still as cunning as ever. In order to prevent me from devouring the descendants of your angel race, you chose my daughter."

A surge of jealousy welled up in her mind; she had faced the Rakshasa God's test, and each trial seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

But Qian Renxue passed four exams in less than a year. Bibi Dong would never believe that Qian Daoliu hadn't gone easy on her.

"So what? I will become a god first, destroy your angelic foundation, and destroy everything about your angelic race."

Bibi Dong turned and walked towards the Pope's private chamber. Every moment was precious, and Qian Renxue had already made her feel threatened.

No one understands better than her how much improvement a divine test can bring.

In the dark, secret room, her noble and beautiful face began to distort, and a shadowy figure emerged behind her that was impossible to see clearly.

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.

After his battle with Yang Wudi, Shen An set off again and left Xingluo City.

Yang Wudi is right. Since he is no longer afraid of Soul Douluo, even if they surround and attack him, there is no need for him to stay any longer.

There wasn't much in Xingluo City that he would miss.

Staying confined to one place for too long is not his style; he'd rather go out and see the world.

However, the Star Luo Empire is a good place to travel and broaden one's horizons, and also to temper one's mind in the mortal world.

So Shen An took Tom, Jerry, and Grey Wolf on a tour of various cities within the Star Luo Empire.

However, as time went on, Shen An discovered a very troublesome thing.

That's because Grey Wolf is too attached to home. Tom and Jerry are different. They've been kicked out by their owners countless times and have had many different owners.

But Uncle Wolf is a middle-aged wolf with a wife and children. He is also a good husband and father, and his attachment to his family is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

At first, things were fine. This was another world, and he was very excited during the first week, enjoying the unique exotic atmosphere and the endless supply of mutton.

But by the second week, Wolfman had already started to miss home.

As a wolf who loves home, no matter how nice other places are, they can't compare to his wolf den.

Until a month later.

Shen An heard another sound of a frying pan hitting someone's head. He looked up helplessly and saw a wolf with stars in his eyes.

She was still muttering in her sleep: "Red Red, Little Gray, I miss you so much."

Tom, holding a frying pan and hitting Grey Wolf, helplessly shrugged.

It's not a bad cat; it's all Grey Wolf's doing that.

Shen An expressed his understanding, after all, Grey Wolf said that only when he was hit by the frying pan did he feel as if he were in a foreign land and felt his wife's care.

'Give me a solution, system!' Shen An silently cursed his broken system in his mind.

He simply couldn't bear to see his beloved Wolf Uncle, who had brought him so much joy in his childhood, in this state.

"Ding! We have detected that Grey Wolf is eager to go home. In order to uphold the principles of wolf ethics, this system can send him back. Please ask Grey Wolf if he is willing to go back."

"Hmm!" Shen An's eyes lit up. It really works!

She flashed in front of Grey Wolf and shook him awake. "Grey Wolf, I have a way to send you back. Are you willing?"

Grey Wolf instantly snapped to attention: "I do! I do!"

With Grey Wolf's agreement, Shen An noticed that the word "repatriation" quickly appeared on the system panel.

Shen An suddenly stopped: "Wait a minute~ I'll be right back."

Shen An immediately disappeared from his spot and went to the vegetable market in this unknown small town, where he bought almost all the mutton available.

They returned less than an hour later.

"I bought all the lamb in the city today; take it all with you when you leave,"

Gray Wolf's eyes instantly welled up with tears: "You are my best brother in this life, Gray Wolf. I will never forget you."

"But how are you going to take this back? I don't have a soul tool that big."

Shen An said with some difficulty, after all, his unlimited storage has always relied on Tuffy diapers, and he still needs to keep this for his own use.

"Oh, I can just make a dimensional pocket."

With a series of clanging sounds, a mechanical, pocket-shaped object was created by Grey Wolf through hand kneading.

Tom and Jerry were also stunned. They saw Grey Wolf take out a bunch of scrap metal and then, damn it, create this mutton that could hold as much as a small mountain.

Shen An glanced at Jerry and said, "Your nephew can have an unlimited supply of diapers, and I've never seen you surprised."

Seeing that Grey Wolf was all ready, Shen An, though somewhat reluctant, still ordered the repatriation.

A white light appeared beside me, followed by a portal. Looking through the portal, the scenery was constantly changing.

It transformed from an endless grassland into a tall wolf fortress.

"Ding, this portal can be maintained for one minute."

Shen An bent down and gently hugged Grey Wolf: "I'm happy to see you, but you still have attachments, so it's not suitable for you to stay with me in this foreign land."

Tom and Jerry also hugged and said goodbye to each of the Big Bad Wolf's companions.

Grey Wolf is a wolf with a strong sense of justice. These past few days, both Shen An and Tom and Jerry have treated him very well, so how could he easily say goodbye?

After stepping halfway into the portal, Grey Wolf suddenly seemed to remember something. He poked his face out of the portal, looked around at Shen An and the others, and then suddenly threw out a frying pan.

"I will definitely come back!"

"Awoo~~"

Chapter 276 What Nine-Heart Begonia can't cure, my cat can.

'That's a good deed, I just don't know if the system will compensate me,' Shen Anxin thought as he watched Grey Wolf disappear.

"Oh no!" Shen An suddenly exclaimed, and Tom, who was standing next to him, looked over with some confusion.

"Meow~?"

What's wrong with my servant?

"I remember Grey Wolf could build an aircraft carrier by hand. It's a pity. It would be great if we could build one for Grey Wolf before he goes back."

Shen An said with a hint of regret.

Tom and Jerry were immediately bored. What was so great about an aircraft carrier? Dried fish and cheese were much better.

Ignoring the two little guys whose lifelong goal was to lie flat, Shen An looked at the virtual system panel with delight.

The compensation has arrived.

Star Luo Empire, Nanning City.

It was dusk, and the setting sun bathed every street in its light.

One of the streets was quite peculiar, with more than a dozen people standing on it, most of them injured.

All of them were staring at the person in the white coat sitting at the spirit table, preparing medicine with various herbs—well, it was a cat.

"Thank you, Doctor Cat. Doctor Cat's medical skills are simply the most amazing I have ever seen. Even those healing-type Soul Masters are far from being able to match them."

The Soul Master, who had been poisoned, felt much clearer-headed after drinking the potion Tom gave him, and kept expressing his gratitude to Tom.

"Haha, it's no trouble at all, just a small favor," Shen An said with a smile to the Soul Master who was thanking him.

"I have some gold soul coins here, please take them all."

"No need, no need. We've already been providing free medical care in many cities; it's part of our enjoyment."

Tom suddenly got a little anxious. It's happening again. Doing volunteer work for free? Waaah, I want some money!

Shen An casually pressed Tom's head down and continued to treat the injured Soul Masters and civilians with Tom.

Finally, after seeing off the last patient, it got dark.

Shen An stretched lightly, then went home from get off work.

Since saying goodbye to Grey Wolf last time, he has been traveling with Tom and Jerry between various cities in Xingluo.

I would stay in each city for at least a month or two, and now, more than a year has passed.
