Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Page 134

From now on, every time the host's fame value increases by 20 million, a soul bone will be awarded as a reward.

Shen An... Is this his strong demand? He feels like Zhu Zhuqing said there is nothing better than a 100,000-year-old soul bone, and then the system started to disagree.

"Exchange it," Shen An thought to himself.

A piece of white, jade-like left arm bone appeared in Shen An's hand, radiating an indescribable aura.

“Look, this is the one that suits me best,” Shen An said.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze sharpened. For some reason, when she saw this bone, she felt as if it was meant to be paired with Shen An.

"Alright, Zhuqing, we have nothing to do tomorrow, so you can absorb this soul bone now. Rongrong should be absorbing another one right now. I'll protect you both."

Zhu Zhuqing stopped making excuses. Since Shen An had a better option, she stopped being coy, after all, she also longed for power.

Holding the Titan Ape's left arm bone in her hand, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath. Shen An was too good to her.

She must prove herself to her family in the Soul Master Competition, defeat her sister, and successfully annul her engagement with Dai Mubai so that she can truly pursue what she wants.

Zhu Zhuqing placed the left arm bone against her own left arm.

hum-

A heavy, earth-like aura entered her arm, the soul bone quietly disappeared, and endless energy began to transform Zhu Zhuqing's body.

She was radiating a faint light, and her aura was constantly rising.

Shen An casually deployed his soul power to conceal his aura, and his sharp sword energy blocked anyone who might try to investigate.

Shen An gazed gently at the left arm bone in his hand; it was as white as jade, flawless.

For some reason, he always had a feeling that the appearance of the soul bone was too abrupt.

According to the system's explanation, a Soul Bone is awarded for every two thousand fame milestones, so why does he have to exchange two million fame points for the first one?

Could it be because Zhu Qing questioned whether there was anything better than a 100,000-year-old soul bone, and the system wanted to prove itself?

But I haven't met the requirements for receiving the first soul bone yet, so they asked me to exchange it for fame points.

This also explains why the next soul bone is given as a reward.

Damn it, the system tricked me.

Shen An was helpless, but if he were given another chance, he would still choose to exchange for it.

Otherwise, Zhu Zhuqing would never have absorbed that Titan Ape's left arm bone.

Shen An put aside his distracting thoughts, walked out of Zhu Zhuqing's room, sat in the living room, and activated his sensory abilities to the maximum.

He needed to keep an eye on Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong's absorption of the soul bones at the same time.

The two women absorbed the soul bones for a full day and two nights.

This was all because Tom Jerry, having nothing better to do, threw the light spots from the two women into their bodies.

Otherwise, Shen An estimated that it might not be possible to fully absorb it even in three days.

"I was careless. I didn't realize that absorbing soul bones would take so much time. Fortunately, I have Tom and Jerry's help, and they're on the same team so they don't have to compete," Shen An thought to himself.

The two women opened their eyes almost simultaneously, and their auras increased to varying degrees.

Compared to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing has improved more.

As an agility-based attacker, she now gave Shen An the same feeling of being even more powerful than Taino of the Power Clan.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing's figure did not change much, otherwise Shen An really didn't know how he would adapt if she really became a "muscle Barbie".

Zhu Zhuqing suddenly smiled sweetly: "Shen An, come on, let's have a battle."

Ning Rongrong chimed in, "I want one too, I'll go with Zhu Qing."

Chapter 240 Zhu Zhuqing, a Perfect Match

Shen An glanced at the sky. It was alright. The fight wouldn't take long, and he could make it in time for the Soul Master Competition.

"Then let's go."

"Meow meow meow."

Tom jumped and skipped in front of Shen An, while Jerry raised his hand excitedly.

Shen An said with a dark face, "No, I'll only fight Zhu Qing and Rong Rong, and maybe Na'er at most."

Just kidding, you'd have to be really crazy to fight Tom.

Regardless of whether they win or lose, Tom Jerry's outrageous antics will definitely give Shen An a run for his money.

He didn't want to be hit by things like irons, golf clubs, or hammers.

Tom and Jerry stuck their tongues out at Shen An, unwilling to fight the two of them. So, you, Shen, only fight women and children, huh?

"I want to play! I want to play!"

Na'er's eyes lit up, and a silver dragon spear, taller than herself, appeared in her hand.

"Let's begin now." Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes slightly, and four dazzling spirit rings appeared on her body, with powerful spirit energy surging forth.

"Nine treasures transform into crystal!"

"Phantom Space!"

Ning Rongrong's four spirit rings shone brightly, directly amplifying Zhu Zhuqing and Na'er. The skill derived from the spirit bone was called Illusionary Space.

She can increase the mental strength of those who benefit from her by 20%, and at the same time establish a mental network that allows them to communicate with each other and gain the greatest control over the battle.

It also has a hallucinogenic effect on the enemy, but of course, this is useless against someone with Shen An's exceptionally high mental strength.

Na'er immediately rushed up as well; the little one possessed an extremely keen sense of combat.

The spirit rings shone, and a three-foot-long spear beam shot out from the sharp edge of the dragon spear, rushing directly towards Shen An.

Zhu Zhuqing disappeared from the spot.

"Night Moon Hundred Claws!"

A sharp whooshing sound rang out as countless claws struck towards Shen An.

However, Shen An dodged it in a flash, marveling at the extraordinary nature of the 100,000-year-old soul bone.

Although the Titan Giant Ape is primarily focused on strength, its soul bone provides Zhu Zhuqing with an all-around enhancement, with the greatest increase being in strength.

Shen An unleashed a wisp of sword energy, and a distant tree branch snapped in two, falling straight into Shen An's hand.

"Shen An, you underestimated us. A single tree branch can't possibly defeat us." Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Gravity Swamp," Zhu Zhuqing murmured to herself.

To be fair, although the Titan Ape's soul bone is a strength-type soul bone, the existence of this gravity swamp makes it a perfect match for Zhu Zhuqing.

This skill is practically a replica of the gravity field; it can instantly increase or decrease gravity within a certain range, the magnitude of which is determined by the injected soul power.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's speed was incredibly fast; even a Soul Emperor-level agility-type Soul Master couldn't keep up with her.

Currently, only Na'er, who is at the Soul Venerable level, is dazzled and cannot keep up with their speed at all.

The little one threw down the dragon spear, stopped fighting, and went to pet her teacher, Tom.

Ning Rongrong, who was standing to the side, was also stunned. She was certain that Zhu Zhuqing was not this strong before Shen An came.

What kind of soul bone did Shen An give Zhu Qing? Ning Rongrong wondered to herself.

In the courtyard, the afterimages of the two figures were everywhere, along with the constant booming sounds of powerful energy.

As time went on, Zhu Zhuqing became increasingly anxious, as using the Gravity Swamp consumed soul power.

Although the skills of the Soul Bone consume very little Soul Power, this cannot continue. She must end the battle before her Soul Power runs out.

A good opportunity! Zhu Zhuqing's eyes suddenly lit up. He saw that Shen An paused slightly when he teleported again, and without hesitation, he used the teleportation skill Shadow Flash.

"Titan Skybreaker!"

Besides providing a powerful boost to a Soul Master, a 100,000-year Soul Bone also possesses two skills, just like a 100,000-year Soul Ring.

After a long battle, Zhu Zhuqing finally found an opportunity and unhesitatingly poured all her soul power into launching this attack.

The surrounding air seemed to be drawn in by a black hole, constantly rushing to Zhu Zhuqing's left arm and being compressed into terrifying energy.

The invisible air suddenly took on a vague outline.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, a massive yellow beam of light shot out from Zhu Zhuqing's left fist, causing ripples in the space wherever it went.

This punch, once Zhu Zhuqing becomes a Title Douluo, could even replicate the full-force attack of the Titan Giant Ape.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Titan Ape was powerless against Kung Fu Tom; after all, it was Tang Tiandi, and those who know, know.

However, if facing a Title Douluo like Dugu Bo, turning him into a pancake with a single punch is no joke.

After absorbing the soul bone, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power level jumped three levels, reaching level forty-five.

With all his soul power poured in, the power of this attack was definitely comparable to the full-force attack of a power-type Soul Saint.

Shen An's eyes also showed a hint of seriousness. He had deliberately created an opening, so as to give the little girl room to maneuver.

Zhu Zhuqing did not disappoint him, seizing the fleeting opportunity, but the power of this attack did indeed startle him.

In a flash, Shen An raised the tree branch in his hand, and boundless sword energy surged forth to meet the attack.

The indestructible sword energy collided with the world-destroying Titan Sky.

Ning Rongrong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but cover her ears, her eyes filled with undisguised shock.

As for Na'er, Tom and Jerry were taking good care of her, and they immediately put earplugs on her.

In that instant, Ning Rongrong felt the air around her thicken, making it hard to breathe.

Even an ordinary Soul Emperor would be defeated by someone like Zhu Qing. Ning Rongrong was secretly alarmed, and at the same time, she couldn't help but worry about how Shen An would deal with this.

Zhu Zhuqing also felt some regret; this move was too powerful, and she was afraid it would hurt Shen An.

The tree branch in Shen An's hand turned to ashes under the impact of this energy, but the sword energy in his hand continued to overflow, forming an invisible sword.

Boom boom boom!

Centered on the two individuals, the impact of their energy collision spread outwards, affecting everyone present.

Shen An decisively reached out and took the exhausted Zhu Zhuqing into his arms, while secretly calming the turmoil of his soul power.

With his current strength and realm, he was not injured by this attack. The Nine-Leaf Sword Qi has never been afraid of anyone, always responding to attacks with offense.

However, at such close range, he could not unleash his full power, otherwise Zhu Zhuqing would inevitably be injured by him. Therefore, his soul power only surged slightly.

Zhu Zhuqing's usually cold face looked even paler: "Shen An, are you alright? Will it affect your upcoming matches?"

"It's a small problem, don't worry about me."

Shen An put Zhu Zhuqing down, then flashed to Ning Rongrong's side, his fingers slightly bent. Since it was a competition, he had to finish it.

Na'er has already abandoned her gun, which can be considered an admission of defeat. Next up is the Little Witch.

A flash of panic crossed Ning Rongrong's eyes.

"Wait a minute~ I..." Ning Rongrong, being so clever and mischievous, immediately guessed what Shen An was going to do.

A mischievous smile flashed in Shen An's eyes. Too late!

With a flick of her finger, a red mark instantly appeared on Ning Rongrong's fair forehead.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Chapter 241 Showdown with Tianshui Academy

Zhu Zhuqing's soul power was greatly depleted, so Ning Rongrong stayed behind to take care of her. The two of them were on the same team and were guaranteed a spot in the finals, so it didn't matter whether they went to the Soul Master Competition or not.

Shen An took Tom, Jerry, and the mascot Na'er directly to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Yesterday, Xue Qinghe sent someone to tell Shen An his next opponent, which was Tianshui Academy, one of the five major elemental academies.

The Heaven Dou Arena was already packed with people, and the audience was eagerly anticipating the battle between Heaven Dou Team 2 and Tianshui Academy.

One is Shen An, a rising star who is a genius who wipes out an entire team with a single sword strike.

One is the renowned Tianshui Academy, one of the top five academies in the Tiandou Empire.
