Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Author: Fengya Zhe

Summary:

Shen An transmigrated to the Douluo Continent with a Fame System. As long as his fame spread, he could draw all sorts of magical characters and items. The first magical character he drew was Talking Tom!

[Tom, let's go!]

Shen An shook his head and said: "Uncle Jian, your sword is not fast enough, nor is it ruthless enough, but don't worry, my cat has figured out something even better!"

After a sword fight

Chen Xin stared at Tom the cat holding a long sword and fell into self-doubt: "I have practiced swordsmanship for decades, how come I can fight a cat to a standstill?"

Dugu Bo, whose name was synonymous with poison across the continent, stared in disbelief as Tom casually plucked a few herbs and neutralized the poison he had painstakingly researched.

Tang San watched in disbelief as all his hidden weapons missed their mark, exclaiming, "How could a cat possibly dodge my Tang Clan's hidden weapon techniques?"

Finally, Shen An's gaze fell on Tang Hao: "The Clear Sky Hammer, the strongest weapon spirit on the entire continent?"

"How will you deal with my million-ton hammer, Tom?"

……

Qian Renxue: "I hereby declare that Talking Tom will become the sacred beast of our Spirit Hall, and from now on, all Spirit Hall uniforms and tokens will be printed with Talking Tom's image."

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong: "What an adorable kitten, I want to pet it."

Chapter 1: Starting with a Tom Cat

In the Sword Mountain Range of Douluo Continent, Shen An has something to say.

Good news! Time travel!

There's also good news: a system is currently being activated.

There was bad news: a black bear was eyeing Shen An less than ten meters away.

There's also bad news: it turned into a juvenile upright ape, the kind that can't even feed a black bear with a single sliding tackle.

Ding! The system has detected a black bear from Douluo Continent watching you. Your existence has been known to a creature from Douluo Continent for the first time, and this system has been initially activated.

Holy crap! I'm in Douluo Continent now, but that's not important. What's important is that the system is here! Oh my god, I'm saved!

The system is loading... 1%... 51%... 99%

And then...and then the system loading panel just froze!

A bitter look appeared on Shen An's youthful face. "Seriously? Are you kidding me?"

The black bear in front of Shen An no longer gazed at him affectionately, but slowly walked up to him.

His body, which had been lying prone on the ground, suddenly stood up, his tall figure blocking out the sunlight and casting a shadow on Shen An.

Roar! The black bear roared at Shen An, and Shen An could see every single one of its fangs clearly.

The bear's exaggerated fangs were so yellow they were almost black, and Shen An could even smell the stench emanating from the bear's mouth.

"Damn! This is truly chilling!"

Shen An stood motionless, not because he knew any survival tips for encountering a bear in the wild, such as not running away.

Instead, his legs were shaking so badly they were stiff, and he simply had no strength left!

Otherwise, he would have made a last-ditch effort.

Shen An remained expressionless. He knew he couldn't rely on this broken system anymore; he would have to rely on himself from now on.

Shen An desperately tried to recall the knowledge in his mind in an attempt to find a way to survive, at least to hold out until the system was activated.

Those who have encountered bears in the wild should know that...

If you encounter a bear in the wild, never turn and run. Especially for a young upright ape, running will only provoke the bear's ferocity.

Shen An tried to stand still and stare at him. The bear was very intelligent, and if he showed fear, he would be courting death.

So he put on a cute but fierce expression and bared his teeth at the black bear.

Shen An tried to look directly at the black bear, making himself feel that he was not to be trifled with, and wanted the black bear to feel the power of a primate.

But the black bear remained unmoved and slowly approached. Damn it, it couldn't intimidate me at all!

Shen Anxin braced himself and roared at the black bear.

Ahhhhh!

A childlike voice came from Shen An's mouth, which startled the black bear.

The black bear was stunned for a moment, then it seemed to feel that it had been provoked.

Roar!Roar!

This was the black bear's response! A faint, fishy stench wafted towards Shen An.

Then the black bear lay down, and Shen An could clearly see the muscles on its body tensing up; it was about to attack!

"Help! Family members!"

Shen An, with a power he didn't know where it came from, quickly turned around and fled, an action that instead activated the black bear's instinct to chase!

Ding! The system has been activated! It has been detected that the host does not have a martial soul. The system will begin to bestow a martial soul upon the host. The host can choose any known martial soul. The system will upgrade the host's martial soul to the top level.

Next, the host has thirty seconds to choose. Please state the name of your Martial Soul.

However, Shen Anman was completely absorbed in the attacking black bear and had no time to pay attention to the system notification.

Seeing the black bear about to pounce, Shen An panicked and cursed viciously.

"Grass!!!"

Shen An then frantically dodged the black bear behind him.

Ding! The system has confirmed that the host has chosen the martial soul "Grass". The system is now empowering the host. Empowerment complete.

Congratulations, host, for obtaining the top-tier martial soul "Grass". Please enter the panel to determine the characteristics and name the martial soul.

Next, we will present the host with a newbie gift pack.

Please claim it yourself, host!

Ding! The host is in mortal danger. The newbie gift pack partner draw has been activated.

Partner successfully selected! It has been confirmed as Talking Tom from "Tom and Jerry". Talking Tom is arriving. Please be ready to receive him.

Shen An's speed was nowhere near that of the black bear, and it looked like the black bear was about to pounce on Shen An.

Shen An was filled with despair. He closed his eyes, turned to face the black bear, and prepared to die with dignity.

Just as the black bear was attacking Shen An, a white light shone in the sky.

A blue figure fell from the sky and landed squarely on the head of the attacking black bear.

"Huh, why don't I feel any pain? Am I still alive?" Shen An cautiously opened his eyes.

But then they saw the black bear lying motionless on the ground, with a small figure sitting on its back.

This is a cat with predominantly blue fur, large yellow eyes with deep green pupils, and pure white mouth, tail, and paws.

The cat sat on the black bear's head, dressed in a red guard's robe, with a black wide-brimmed hat adorned with white decorations on its head. It held a small Western-style sword in its hand, its shoulders slightly shrugged, its paws holding the sword outstretched, and it looked at Shen An with an innocent expression.

Huh? This art style looks familiar.

"Tom?" Shen An called out tentatively.

The cat nodded and gave a human-like smile.

Shen An looked at his system panel as if in a dream. He tried to silently recite "system" in his mind, and soon a transparent panel unfolded in front of him.

A series of system messages appeared before Shen An's eyes, and Shen An's face turned green as he looked at them, thinking, "I just cursed 'grass,' how did my martial soul turn into grass?"

Before Shen An could even examine the newbie gift pack, the black bear suddenly made a sound and shook its head, startling Tom so much that his fur stood on end and he instantly jumped to Shen An's side.

Shen An also looked at the black bear with a nervous expression. He turned to Tom and said, "Tom, go and kill him."

"???"

Tom looked at Shen An with a face full of question marks, pointing to his cat-like face with his white glove, as if to say, "Huh, me?"

Shen An nodded quickly and said:

"Go, Tom, you can do it. Our lives are in your hands. Only if we get through this will I treat you to good food and drink and find you lots of female cats."

Upon hearing this, Tom's eyes lit up instantly, his mouth opened wide and his tongue lolled out, and his whole body trembled with excitement, as if he was already fantasizing about the wonderful life Shen An had promised.

It had no doubt about what Shen An said, or rather, it felt very close to and dependent on Shen An from the first moment it saw him.

Tom immediately straightened his back, took a deep breath, and knew that a generous reward would surely inspire a brave cat.

It rolled up its blue sleeves, revealing pink flesh underneath, looking full of energy.

Tom moved nimbly and swiftly, charging forward with his rapier in hand.

As a clever cat, it knows how to seize the opportunity. Before the black bear can react, it will strike hard on the dog that has fallen into the water!

Take this!

Tom unleashed a series of sword strikes, aiming for the black bear's vitals—its eyes, ears, and anus—his slender rapier piercing with pinpoint accuracy.

The rapier ruthlessly shaved off the black bear's fur, igniting its ferocity.

The black bear roared again, and struck the exquisite rapier with its paw, causing the blade to bend instantly.

Shen AnΣ(?д?;)

TomΣ(っ°Д°;)っ

Chapter 2: Intelligent Extinction System, upgrade my Martial Soul!

Tom stared at the bent rapier in his hand, swallowed hard, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He was without a weapon; how was he supposed to fight?

Shen An panicked too. Shouldn't Tom be the Concept God?

Shen An forced himself to calm down and shouted to Tom, "Tom, hold on for a while, I'll think of something."

Tom put the white glove in his mouth and looked at Shen An with a horrified expression. "You want me, a little kitten, to fight a big black bear with my bare hands? That's too much to ask of a cat!"

Okay, Tom compared himself to Shen An and felt that Shen An, this young upright ape, was a complete weakling. He still had to rely on him.

Tom gritted his teeth and met the black bear's gaze with unwavering determination. As a kind-hearted cat, he couldn't just stand by and watch a human die in front of him.

Soon aroused, the black bear lunged at Tom again. Tom used his feline agility to constantly maneuver around the bear, occasionally scratching it with his sharp claws to draw its attention.

While the black bear was focused on Tom, Shen An quickly checked his system to see if there was anything he could do to help.

Shen An first received the newbie gift pack, but his attempt to summon his martial soul failed with no response.

It's estimated that his body isn't from a native of Douluo Continent, so he doesn't have any soul power in his body, and even his martial soul was given to him by the system.

With a heart full of trepidation, Shen An opened the newbie gift pack, muttering to himself:

"Please, give me a sniper rifle with unlimited ammo, or a shotgun will do, or if all else fails, an indestructible sword that can cut through iron like mud."

"New player gift pack successfully claimed"

"Soul Power Level Nine"

"A copy of the fundamental characteristics of Martial Soul evolution"

Storage space: 30 cubic meters

"Initial Partner Draw" (already used)

1000 Gold Soul Coins

Shen An was stunned. Indeed, there were quite a few good items, which was quite good as a beginner's development pack.

But if I can't get through this current difficulty, what's the point of talking about the future!

With a thought, a crystal-clear, emerald-green blade of grass appeared in Shen An's palm.

Shen An looked at the grass in his hand with despair. How was he supposed to fight this? Was he supposed to send Tom to laugh at the black bear in front of him with a blade of grass?

"My system is not only not intelligent, it's practically mentally challenged."
