Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

The 100,000-year-old soul bone skill Titan Skybreaker is paired with the martial soul fusion skill Netherworld White Tiger!

Chapter 258 Annulled Engagement! Dai Mubai: Don't underestimate a young man's potential!

A solid, heavy, and majestic yellow light, as powerful as the earth, struck the Netherworld White Tiger with an almost tyrannical and unreasonable manner.

Dai Mubai, sitting in the audience, stared intently without blinking. No one knew the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Netherworld White Tiger, better than him.

It is precisely because of this skill that the Dai family has been able to ensure that each successor has combat power comparable to a Title Douluo, thus securing their royal status.

However, he also knew that Zhu Zhuqing had no reason not to know, yet she chose to confront him head-on.

This in itself represents an unparalleled level of confidence.

So... can she really do it?

Rumble!

The Netherworld White Tiger was shattered into pieces and scattered into light. Davis, who was the mastermind behind the Martial Soul Fusion, had countless broken bones and fainted without even letting out a scream.

Zhu Zhuyun rolled on the ground countless times. Zhu Zhuqing's face was pale. At this moment, she still had the strength to take Zhu Zhuyun's life in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Zhuqing watched silently but made no further move.

She had thought she would feel extremely happy after defeating Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, but she didn't.

At this moment, her heart felt empty, as if it were nothingness.

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized that what she resented was not her sister, but the cold and cruel family rules.

'If one day I am deposed, I will tear those cold-blooded family rules to shreds and restore freedom to the descendants of the Zhu family,' Zhu Zhuqing thought to herself.

Having greatly improved her aptitude by consuming the immortal herb and possessing the 100,000-year-old soul bone, the second most precious treasure in the soul master world, Zhu Zhuqing has no shortage of such confidence and courage.

Everyone was stunned. Could a Martial Soul Fusion Technique really be directly countered? This girl from the Heaven Dou Team is too strong!

Dai Mubai was speechless. He instinctively tried to clench his fists, but he couldn't muster any strength, and they just hung limply at his sides.

He saw the gap between himself and Zhu Zhuqing, a gap that made him feel powerless from the bottom of his heart.

"Impossible, this is impossible, how could I lose to you!"

Zhu Zhuyun was unwilling to accept this. Her beautiful face became extremely ferocious, and she screamed wildly like a madwoman.

She mustered the last of her soul power and let out a shrill scream as she charged toward Zhu Zhuqing.

Ding!

Zhu Zhuqing flicked her finger, and with a crisp sound, Zhu Zhuyun was instantly turned into a rolling gourd.

Compared to the injuries on Zhu Zhuyun's body, her spirit was even more dispirited. Facing such a powerful Zhu Zhuqing, she had no idea how she could possibly win.

The Soul Master Competition was like this, and so will future family feuds.

"I've lost. Am I destined to face the fate of a loser?" Zhu Zhuyun crawled slowly to the side of the unconscious Davis, gently stroking Davis's face, and said sadly.

Regardless of personal preferences or feelings, she was destined to be bound to Davis from birth, and to die as well.

Zhu Zhuyun had no intention of resisting, nor any room for resistance.

"No, I have no intention of competing with you for the inheritance, and I have no relation to Dai Mubai whatsoever."

"Today, in Wuhun City, the holy land of soul masters, I, Zhu Zhuqing, hereby declare that I am canceling my engagement with Dai Mubai of the Star Luo royal family. My destiny will now be in my own hands."

"From now on, my family will no longer be a shackle for me, and I will have my own pursuits!"

The entire audience of Soul Masters was instantly in an uproar. Was this royal gossip something they could listen to?

As Zhu Zhuqing spoke, she glanced at Shen An and then smiled.

At this moment, she overcame her nightmares and broke with her family regardless of the consequences.

But she felt no fear, only extreme joy and unrestrained happiness.

Alas!

Long confined in a cage, I've finally returned to nature!

Dai Mubai's eyes burned with a furious rage, his eyes bloodshot. To be jilted in public, especially by a woman who had rejected him—what a humiliation!

He jumped up abruptly: "You!"

All eyes turned to him, curious about what he would say next, whether he would make some threats, or challenge Zhu Zhu to a one-on-one duel.

Dai Mubai really wanted to kill Zhu Zhuqing.

But after thinking about it, if nothing unexpected happened, he would most likely be the one to get slaughtered, so the wise Dai Mubai decisively backed down.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"

The evil-eyed white tiger Dai Mubai finally managed to utter these words.

The room erupted in cheerful laughter; this good-for-nothing was actually quite humorous.

Tom, watching from the side, couldn't stop laughing and slapped his thigh.

Jerry also pointed at Dai Mubai with his thumb.

Do you think this is a novel?

Are you making a triumphant return?

You're a useless person with a white fourth spirit ring, yet you want to take the role of Emperor Yan? That's laughable.

Zhu Zhuyun was stunned, then sneered: "You think you can escape the control of the family? How laughable."

"I will bear all the consequences of what I said today, without any regrets, my sister," Zhu Zhuqing said calmly.

Zhu Zhuyun stared blankly at Zhu Zhuqing in front of her for a moment.

She couldn't understand why Zhu Zhuqing, who was so powerful, would voluntarily give up her inheritance rights to the family and even say something that was tantamount to breaking with the family.

If it were her, she would never have had the courage. Wouldn't it be better to be a crown princess and the future mother of the nation?

But when she noticed the way Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shen An, she suddenly seemed to understand something, and a hint of envy rose in her heart.

Ultimately, the referee declared Heavenly Dou Royal Academy the victor.

"Congratulations, Zhu Qing," Shen An offered his congratulations.

Zhu Zhuqing's usually cool and aloof face broke into a smile as she hugged Shen An tightly, whispering in his ear, "I'm free. From now on, the rest of my life will be yours."

He, who always prided himself on his strong and unwavering mind, was actually stirred by these words, and felt his heart pounding violently.

"Hey, hey, hey, you two should be more mindful of your behavior in public."

Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, was so anxious when she saw the two of them hugging that she started spinning around in circles.

The next battle will be between Shen An, representing the Tian Dou deputy team, and the Feng Jian Zong Academy.

As for the Wind Sword Sect, they had never witnessed Shen An in action, since Shen An received a bye in the first round and his opponent conceded in the second round, so they could only learn about him from the information gathered through investigation.

Feng Xiao, the captain of the Wind Sword Sect, sneered, "Our Wind Sword Sect is most skilled in formation techniques. I don't believe that this person really only brought a little girl up as the information says. Then we will let him know what despair is."

Feng Xiao was very confident in facing Shen An. First of all, he did not believe that Shen An was really as powerful as the rumors suggested.

Secondly, he was confident in his own abilities.

The Wind Sword Sect inherits the Wind Sword Martial Soul, and every disciple of the sect possesses the ability to fly on a sword due to this Martial Soul.

They are particularly skilled at forming formations; once they unleash a combo, no team can withstand it.

"Don't worry, Commissioner Meng, I already know the opponent's information. I can handle it."

Shen An said to Meng Shenji.

Meng Shenji chuckled awkwardly, "I'm just worried about something unexpected, so I came here to tell you again."

Soon, Shen An stepped onto the arena. This time, Shen An was alone; he did not bring Na'er.

The seven members of the opposing Wind Sword Sect team also appeared one by one. When they saw Shen An appear alone, their expressions darkened.

This time, the audience consisted entirely of Soul Masters, including those from the Heavenly Dou and Star Luo factions.

A chorus of shouts erupted from Xingluo: "Is he trying to lose by having only one person on the field?"

At this point, a Soul Master from the Heavenly Dou Sect would roll his eyes and say, "You know nothing about true power."

There were also three people in the audience, staring at Shen An in disbelief.

After Shen An's match, it was their turn.

They also wanted to see what this so-called Pope himself said about who their biggest opponent in this year's Soul Master Competition was.

Upon seeing this, all three of them were dumbfounded.

"Isn't his name Li Feiyu? Holy crap, it's a fake name!" Yan blurted out, feeling a chill run down his spine. He hadn't forgotten the scene of being brutally defeated by Shen An.

Xie Yue was on high alert: "If it really is him, we dare not say that we are certain of victory."

Hu Liena's eyes dimmed; at this moment, she was more concerned that Shen An was using a fake name for her than about the outcome of the Soul Master Competition.

“You also use a sword. Today, I’ll show you what true swordsmanship is all about,” Feng Xiao said coldly.

Shen An chuckled: "I will only use one move. If I cannot win, I will end my life here."

The members of the Wind Sword Sect were instantly enraged. This was simply too arrogant! Did they think they were a toy car team?

"The match begins!" the referee announced.

Feng Xiao was furious inside, but he remained unusually calm on the surface. Those who had made it this far were certainly not incompetent.

"Flying on a sword!" Feng Xiao suddenly exclaimed.

The seven members of the Wind Sword Sect each unleashed their martial spirits, all of which were Wind Sword martial spirits. They soared into the air, their spirit rings gleaming.

The group of seven included four Soul Masters, making them a formidable force.

Each of the seven people formed a sword incantation with their hands, their soul power circulating wildly.

This is the Wind and Thunder Formation of the Wind Sword Sect. It can use the power of wind, frost, and thunder to condense soul power and transform it into thousands of sword formations to defeat enemies.

"Wind and Thunder Sword Formation!"

With another loud howl of the wind, a whooshing sound arose, stirring up ripples in the sky.

The winds crisscrossed the sky, clouds surged, and thunder roared through the air.

Swords of wind and thunder were condensed and formed, their sword energy surging like dragons, tearing through space.

All the major teams looked on with serious expressions. The Wind Sword Sect truly lived up to its reputation as the team most skilled in group battles among the four lower sects.

This Wind and Thunder Sword Formation is comparable to a seven-in-one fusion technique; its power is no less than that of a Soul Emperor.

"You will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Feng Xiao, positioned amidst the wind and clouds, looked down upon Shen An. Countless swords of wind and thunder were under his command, and with a single order, he could pierce Shen An's heart with a thousand swords.

"All set up? Now it's my turn to show off." Shen An thought to himself.

Reaching out, one finds the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, shimmering with light, its five spirit rings—one yellow, one purple, and three black—shining brilliantly.

The audience erupted in uproar, exclaiming that this was impossible and completely overturned their understanding.

Then, the fifth spirit ring released a deep and terrifying black light.

"Sword Domain!"

Within a hundred meters, the entire area became a sword domain, and the master of the sword domain was Shen An!

The moment Shen An had that thought, the world changed instantly. Countless streams of sword energy condensed into a sword, the sharpest and purest of swords.

Weak Soul Masters cannot even look at it for long; if they look directly into it, they will feel a stinging sensation in their eyes.

Shen An looked on indifferently. At this moment, although the wind was howling in the sky and he was standing on the ground, he seemed to be the one looking down from above.

"How could the fifth soul skill be a domain?!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Domain, a top-tier skill that even a titled Douluo might not be able to obtain.

Feng Xiao was greatly shaken, his face turned extremely ugly, and the thousands of wind and thunder swords were out of control, wanting to make Shen An submit.

He had originally intended to wait until the Wind and Thunder Sword Formation reached its full power, but now he could not wait even a moment longer.

"Sword of Wind and Thunder, slash!"

Without further hesitation, Feng Xiao decisively made his move. The countless wind and thunder swords that were still gathering and condensing all coalesced into a gigantic giant sword wrapped in wind and thunder.
