Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Even if the difficulty of each subsequent level increases, the remaining four experience packs can at least push his soul power up two more levels.

Shen An chose not to continue using it, but to save it for later when his soul power was low during battles, so that he could replenish his soul power and level up at the same time.

As for his own cultivation plans, well, forget it. The system will take care of things anyway, so he'll just focus on swordsmanship and techniques.

At this moment, a cat and a person rode a broom back to the top of the courtyard.

Tom looked at the bird flying at the same level as him in the sky, licked his lips greedily, and then, under Xue Qinghe's shocked gaze, stepped into the air to grab it.

Unfortunately, he couldn't catch it. The bird reacted too quickly, accelerating and flying away. Tom, fuming, prepared to turn around and go back.

"Tom, so you can fly?" Xue Qinghe said in a daze.

Tom looked over in confusion. "I'm just a little kitten. Kittens can't fly."

Then Tom suddenly realized that it seemed to have just stepped out of the broom.

Tom, his face pale with fright, dared not look down, but instead carefully tiptoed to step on the ground.

Great, it didn't feel real, I missed a step.

"Ahhhh!"

Tom screamed in terror, and then the cat sank to the ground.

Xue Qinghe tried to reach out and grab him, but Tom's falling speed was so unreasonable that even with her Soul Emperor skills, she couldn't react in time.

Below is a large tree, which is divided into two parts.

Tom landed right in the center of the trees, bang!

Tom paused briefly at the center of the tree before sawing it off like a saw, the whole process incredibly smooth.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle~~"

Amidst the incredibly loud cutting sounds and flying wood chips, Shen An stared in astonishment at the large tree outside that had split in two.

And at the base of the tree, a cat with long, thin legs stepped out of the tree, then stared blankly at its two long legs.

Shen An almost laughed. He inexplicably recalled a saying: "First came Tom, then came Heaven; crotch splitting a tree is like being a god."

The commotion startled Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

Shen An looked at the two women who had come into the courtyard with a teasing expression, pointed to the split tree outside the courtyard, and said, "Let me tell you, look over there."

"Although there wasn't a cat, you should know that a cat has already been here~"

"Pfft, hahahaha."

Chapter 196 Team One: Is someone trying to steal our jobs?

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong marveled at the split tree at the entrance, wondering who had created such a peculiar sight.

Just as this thought crossed my mind, a cat with long, thin legs and only a lower body walked in.

"Pfft, hahaha." Seeing Tom like this, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Is Tom alright? I have a treasure here that can heal wounds. Quickly give it to him," Xue Qinghe said with a worried expression as he descended from the sky on a broomstick.

After Tom stepped off the broom, Xue Qinghe felt as if she and the broom were of one mind, and she could control it at will.

She was too worried about Tom to have time to reflect, and hurriedly came downstairs.

She knew that this cat was Shen An's darling, and besides, she had always liked Tom very much.

I only refrained from petting the cat because I wanted to keep my identity hidden.

When Shen An saw Xue Qinghe, he silently pointed to the long-legged cat behind him. Xue Qinghe turned around and couldn't help but laugh.

"Pfft hahaha."

Tom looked at everyone with a frustrated expression. He felt so embarrassed; he had completely lost face.

"Brother Xue, what brings you here all of a sudden?" Shen An asked curiously.

"Look, Tom inexplicably came to the palace and brought him with him." Xue Qinghe said as he flipped off the broom.

Riding a broom is ultimately a bit unseemly, and Xue Qinghe is a person who cares a lot about his image.

"Your broom is quite magical; it can actually make people understand its thoughts," Xue Qinghe said with a smile.

Shen An smiled and said with feigned regret, "I'll just get one for you, Brother Xue, but unfortunately, a magic broom can only be used three times."

As he spoke, he took out another one and handed it to Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe had taken good care of Shen An, and even wanted to buy him a soul bone last time. Although he didn't succeed, how could Shen An forget Xue Qinghe?

'Only three uses? That's rather useless, like a flight-type soul tool. Some food-type soul masters can also achieve the same effect.'

Xue Qinghe took the broom and thought to himself.

However, since it was a gift from Shen An, she was somewhat pleased.

"Haha, then I'll accept it without hesitation. I'll definitely keep it safe," she laughed.

A smile flashed in Shen An's eyes. "Collecting it? No way. Brother Xue, you'd better carry it with you at all times. This magic broom can allow you to fly at a speed that is one major realm higher than your own, for three hours at a time."

"Wh-what? A whole realm higher than me! And for three hours!" Xue Qinghe stammered.

She's the young master of the Spirit Hall, you know. What kind of treasures haven't she seen? But Shen An's words really shocked her.

"Yes, I think even a Title Douluo could achieve the same effect."

Xue Qinghe fell silent. She suddenly felt a little dizzy. A realm higher than a Title Douluo? Wouldn't that be a god?

Xue Qinghe didn't doubt Shen An's words that he would give away such a valuable gift so easily.

During her use, she also discovered that she seemed to be able to fly faster, but she simply didn't do so.

Xue Qinghe solemnly put away the broom, a bright smile spreading across his face.

"Shen An, I heard from Meng Shenji a while ago that they were confirming the list of participants from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the Soul Master Competition. Now that we have this opportunity, let's go and confirm it."

"That's fine. I'm planning to go out in a while anyway, so taking care of this in advance will save me some trouble."

Shen An nodded.

Heaven Dou City can no longer bring him a lot of fame points. There's still some time before the Soul Master Competition, so he might as well go out for a stroll.

This trip wasn't just about gaining more fame points; I also wanted to test the limits of my combat power.

Having already become a Soul Master, Shen An felt he was extremely strong, but the exact extent of his strength still needed to be tested, and the best way to test it was to find a strong person to verify it.

Going out to see different scenery and challenge stronger opponents is also a great option.

"What?! You're leaving Tiandou?!"

Xue Qinghe, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing said in unison.

"Yes, I want to go out and see the world, but I should be back by the time of the Soul Master Competition," Shen An said with a smile.

On their way to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong seemed somewhat absent-minded.

Having lived with Shen An for so long, they were very reluctant to part with him, but they couldn't stop him from doing what he wanted to do.

Xue Qinghe was slightly happy. At first, she was reluctant, but when she thought that Shen An would not take Zhu Zhuqing and the other two girls with him when he went out, she was happy.

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

When Zhilin saw Jerry, he instinctively felt a headache coming on and silently retreated to the back, not wanting to pay any more attention to him.

Meng Shenji beamed with joy. He had no doubt about Shen An's strength, and his old face lit up with even more smiles after hearing that Shen An had reached the Soul Master level.

"Here's what we'll do, Shen An. I'll put you in the Tian Dou team, so you can go straight to the finals and conserve your strength to the maximum extent."

Meng Shenji paused for a moment before speaking.

Shen An's eyelids twitched. How could he be directly guaranteed a spot in the finals? Wouldn't that mean losing a lot of opportunities to show off?

"No, no, no, Committee Member Meng, I prefer to learn from other geniuses. Since the first team is guaranteed admission, why not let me go to the second team?"

Shen An immediately said.

Meng Shenji and his group had strange expressions. It was a team that ordinary people would fight tooth and nail to get into, so why was Shen An being looked down upon?

“Shen An, in battle, a Soul Master’s Soul Skills will inevitably be exposed. The more they are exposed, the greater the chance they will be targeted.”

"Once your opponent is on guard, your chances of winning will decrease significantly."

"So, if possible, I still hope you can join the first team. The first team has a better lineup, and with you, it's not impossible to win the championship."

Meng Shenji earnestly advised him, saying that he had received a favor from the royal family and truly wanted to lead the Tiandou Royal Academy well.

If Shen An can lead the Tian Dou team to a good result, it will undoubtedly attract many talented young people to the Tian Dou Royal Academy.

Before Shen An could reply, a calm voice, tinged with arrogance, rang out.

“Committee Member Meng, I heard that you want to let outsiders into our team. The seven of us have been working together for a long time. How can we just break up our team like that?”

"Besides, getting into our team isn't something you can just do through connections. You have to play at least one game and get my approval first."

The newcomer was none other than Yu Tianheng. As the captain of the Tiandou Team, he naturally had to stand up for his teammates.

“Yes, Commissioner Meng, you wouldn’t want my grandfather to come and talk to you in person, would you?” Dugu Yan, no longer as alluring as before, added, her tone carrying a hint of threat.

Facing Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, who were backed by two Title Douluos, Meng Shenji remained completely calm.

He already knew that the Royal Fighting Team had lost to Shen An, and since Dugu Bo had previously stood up for Shen An, he wouldn't be an ally.

As expected, before Meng Shenji could explain, Yu Tianheng and the others saw Shen An and their faces froze. How could it be him?

Yu Tianheng fell silent the moment he saw Shen An. Even though he had now become a Soul Master, he did not have the confidence to defeat Shen An head-on.

Dugu Yan couldn't possibly say anything more. She and her grandfather owed Shen An a huge favor, and Shen An had even helped her evolve her martial soul.

If it weren't for the fact that she had known Yu Tianheng for a long time and had a good relationship with him, Dugu Yan would have wanted to give herself to him, after all, Shen An was much more handsome than the ordinary Yu Tianheng.

Meng Shenji smiled and said, "Is everything alright now?"

All the members of the Royal Fighting Team have arrived, but they are all silent, like wilted eggplants.

They had nothing to say about Shen An's arrival, but they didn't know who he would replace. Apart from Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, the other four instantly felt a sense of crisis.

But how could they know that Shen An had no intention of joining the first team?

"Old man, what about me and Zhuqing? You can't send us to the second team, can you?"

Ning Rongrong immediately said that if she were to join, she would definitely join the best team.

"This." Meng Shenji hesitated. He knew Zhu Zhuqing's strength because she had trained at Tiandou Academy for a period of time. She was only a Great Soul Master, and her presence here would indeed be a bit of a hindrance.

Although Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is powerful, she is still young and may not be as good as Ye Lingling, since the Nine Heart Begonia is unique in the entire continent.

Zhu Zhuqing then spoke up: "The strong advance, the weak retreat. We'll know the answer after a competition."

Zhu Zhuqing also highly values ​​the Advanced Elite Soul Master Competition. Having consumed the immortal herb, her strength is already considerable, and she will definitely be able to cultivate to level 40 or above before the competition.

Zhu Zhuqing hoped to prove her strength through her performance in the Soul Master Competition, thereby gaining more influence within the family.

A sly glint flashed in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she said, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, "Yeah, yeah, we just need to have one fight. Zhu Qing will fight the agility-based attacker, and I'll fight the support-based attacker."

Shen An's lips twitched. Wasn't Ning Rongrong deliberately taking advantage of him? After months of training, her punch carried the force of hundreds of kilograms. Which support-type Soul Master could withstand that?

Putting everything else aside, if they continue training like this, when the Soul Master Competition begins, Ning Rongrong's iron fists will weigh over a thousand pounds, which most battle soul masters will not be able to withstand.

Xue Qinghe also looked on in surprise. Having taken Ning Fengzhi as her teacher, she knew Ning Rongrong's personality very well. If she dared to say such a thing, she must have some evidence.

But what exactly is this certificate? Xue Qinghe instinctively felt that it was related to Shen An.

Meng Shenji and the others were stunned. It was the first time they had ever heard of a support-type Soul Master fighting another support-type Soul Master.

Ye Lingling's expression was also unfriendly. No, what was Ning Rongrong trying to do? Shouldn't support-type Soul Masters be compared in terms of support abilities?

"No way, no way, would the owner of the Nine-Heart Begonia be afraid of me?" ning'r

However, Ye Lingling recalled that back in Soto City, Ning Rongrong was just a Great Soul Master. Even if her soul power had increased over the long term, she could never surpass her.

Looking at Ning Rongrong's arrogant expression, Ye Lingling really wanted to teach her a lesson.

"Okay, I promise you." A fighting spirit that didn't belong to a support-type Soul Master rose in Ye Lingling's heart.

Everyone from Tiandou Academy watched Ye Lingling in silence. Ning Rongrong was being silly, but you joined in too. Two support-type Soul Masters fighting? That's not fighting, that's just a squabble!

Ning Rongrong was overjoyed and immediately asked everyone to clear the space, as she wanted to have a showdown with the other party's imperial city.
