Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai took turns launching close-range attacks from the left and right, relying on the powerful physical attributes of their beast spirits and Shen An's close-quarters combat skills.

Despite the excruciating pain in his eyes, Tang San activated his Purple Demon Eye, and the Blue Silver Grass silently broke through the ground and attacked Shen An, activating his Soul Skill Entanglement!

His palm was as clear as white jade, and all sorts of strange hidden weapons shot towards Shen An, their trajectories unpredictable.

The Shrek Four Monsters, going all out to fight a peer, are terrifying in their own right.

No one realized how terrifying the four of them were when they joined forces; each of them was undoubtedly a genius.

Seeing this, Shen An unleashed his full soul power, causing a resounding sword cry to emanate from his body. His powerful soul power surged into the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, and two large soul rings, one yellow and one purple, immediately lit up.

The soul ring swirled and merged into the sword, which had nine leaf patterns on it. Two of these patterns suddenly lit up, and a crystal-clear, emerald-green sword appeared in Shen An's hand.

This sword has a physical form but no real substance; it is formed from soul rings and sword energy, yet it can endure in the world without diminishing its power.

This is why Shen An felt that naming his martial soul Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was truly fitting.

This sword has form but no substance, hence Shen An called it the Nine-Leaf Void Sword.

It is conceivable that as Shen An's soul power level continues to increase, the number of Nine-Leaf Void Swords will increase, eventually reaching its maximum.

Shen An multitasked, and the Nine-Leaf Phantom Sword suddenly flew into the air, swirling and moving. The sword light resembled a green dragon, and the dragon's body swept horizontally, knocking countless hidden weapons to the ground.

A series of clear, ringing sounds rang out.

It has a physical form but no substance, yet it can produce a sound like metal and stone, which is truly amazing. Then, without diminishing its momentum, it crashes into the terrifyingly hot flames.

"boom!"

The Nine-Leaf Void Sword collided with the Phoenix Fire Line. Endless sword energy clashed with the terrifyingly high-temperature fire line, and a huge sound came from it. Ma Hongjun's expression changed drastically!

Phoenix Fireline was retreating steadily; this was a flame enhanced by his Phoenix Rebirth.

What kind of monster is this? Ma Hongjun dodged the flying sword in a sorry state and watched as Shen An, wielding a long sword, forced Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu to retreat step by step.

Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai were in agony, fighting Shen An was too painful. Shen An didn't have any fancy swordsmanship, but every move he made was aimed at their weaknesses.

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was sharper than anything ordinary; if either of them even considered taking it head-on, their most primal instincts would scream, "You'll die! You'll die!"

Shen An's bright eyes surveyed the entire situation. With his long sword in hand, he unleashed a flurry of flying swords that forced the four monsters into retreat, displaying unparalleled power.

Shen An's swordsmanship consisted of nothing more than basic moves, but his speed was as fast as lightning, his sharpness was indestructible, and his grasp of the battle opportunity was something the Four Eccentrics could not contend with at all.

Shen An's soul power seems to far surpass ours. He's fighting four against one without showing any signs of fatigue. This can't go on; we must break this deadlock. Tang San thought to himself, seeing the situation was turning against him.

"Ma Hongjun, hold off that flying sword, I'm going to help Boss Dai and the others," Tang San shouted to Ma Hongjun, his hidden weapons flying towards Shen An.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I'll trust you this once. I'll keep this sword occupied, and you have to take care of that kid!"

Ma Hongjun poured his soul power to the maximum, stomped heavily on the ground and leaped onto the flying sword. The flames all over his body instantly surged, and he held the illusory sword, locked in a stalemate with it.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

The sword energy of the Nine-Leaf Void Sword continuously assaulted Ma Hongjun's body, just as it had been against Dai Mubai that day.

Tang San transformed into numerous phantoms, using the Ghost Shadow Illusionary Movement Technique to approach Shen An, unleashing a barrage of hidden weapons at him as if they were free.

Shen An unleashed his sword energy, shattering them all into dust. It was time for this to end. If Shen An hadn't been devoid of murderous intent, he would have crippled Xiao Wu and the other two long ago.

Shen An's speed suddenly increased by three points, and he thrust his sword straight forward. Xiao Wu looked in disbelief at the long sword that had pierced her shoulder, the sword energy raging and destroying her meridians.

Ignoring Xiao Wu's screams, Shen An once again mustered his soul power and slashed straight at her with his sword. The crescent-shaped emerald green sword energy flew towards Dai Mubai, who clasped his arms together and forcefully blocked the attack.

"Boom!" Dai Mubai was sent flying, his arms covered in blood and flesh, sword wounds deep into his bones, as he crashed heavily into the audience stands.

"Ahhh! Shen An, I'll kill you!" Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot and his face contorted when he saw the seriously injured Xiao Wu.

Tang San shot the Dragon Beard Needle at Shen An without holding back, while a small black hammer suddenly appeared in his other hand, which was hidden behind his back.

The number one weapon spirit in the world—the Clear Sky Hammer!

Shen Anjian slashed the Dragon Beard Needle, and then, seeing Tang San charging towards him with all his might, he also met Tang San's attack head-on without holding back.

This battle made Shen An a little overconfident. Three of the four monsters were injured, while he was still at full health. Therefore, Shen An confidently went to meet Tang San's attack.

"clang clang"

The collision of sword and hammer sparked incredibly dazzling sparks. Shen An felt the terrifying power of the small hammer and couldn't help but take a few steps back with a muffled groan.

I was careless and didn't flash it.

However, Tang San was in a much worse state. His Clear Sky Hammer had been knocked away, and he looked at Shen An with a gloomy expression. Then, his lifeless eyes stared blankly at the deep, bone-revealing wound on his chest.

Chapter 48 Tang San's Defeat, Flander Appears

It turned out that after Shen An sensed the terrifying power of the Haotian Hammer, he first tried to withstand it for a while, but was then pushed back and deflected the immense force.

However, the sword energy had already spread and surged to Tang San's arm, forcing Tang San to use his Xuan Yu Hand to withstand the sword energy.

Then, the Nine-Leaf Void Sword, having broken free of its restraints, instantly transformed into a stream of light and fell upon Tang San's chest, who had no time to defend himself.

Ma Hongjun, who had been entangled with him, was now lying on the ground like a dead bird, groaning unconsciously.

Tang San was entangled by the sword energy swirling around the sword grass. His clothes were torn, and he felt his meridians were blocked, his internal energy was disordered, and two streams of blood flowed from his nose and his chest was bleeding profusely.

At this moment, the outcome was already decided. Shen An's blood and qi trembled slightly, while Tang San was seriously injured.

Shen An couldn't help but sigh, realizing he had been careless. The power of the Haotian Hammer was indeed terrifying; even when he took it with all his might, his blood and qi were somewhat disrupted.

No wonder Zhao Wuji, who is known for his strength, was unintentionally beaten black and blue.

He was good at attacking and speed, so it was wrong to fight head-on. In a battle, you should play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Shen An learned his lesson.

At this moment, Tang San couldn't believe that Shen An was using his weakness to attack his strength, that Shen An was weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer in terms of power, and that his soul power level was inferior to his.

However, in a head-on confrontation, he was seriously injured, but he only caused Shen An to let out a muffled groan and experience a shock to his blood and qi.

Shen An's thoughts raced. Seeing Tang San trembling as he took out his hidden weapon and prepared to attack again, Shen An didn't hesitate. He slashed his longsword to the side and used the blade to knock Tang San away.

"Jingling"

Tang San's silver needles scattered all over the ground, and among those present, only Xiao Wu was barely able to put up a fight.

With bloodshot eyes, she came to Tang San's side, embraced him, and looked at him with tenderness, as if she had made a decision.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed in, and there was Flander. A pair of huge wings spread out behind him, his whole body was covered with feathers, his orange-yellow pupils were vertical, and seven spirit rings were pulsating around his body.

He was taking a walk outside the Soul Arena when he sensed the fluctuations in the soul power of the Shrek Seven Devils inside the Great Soul Arena, so he turned back.

When he saw the guards at the door, he knew something was wrong. He thought his student had violated some taboo of the Great Battle Soul, so he directly revealed his strength and rushed in, ignoring the guards.

To Flander's utter surprise, it was Shen An who was fighting all four of his students alone, while Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong watched coldly from the sidelines. For a moment, he was completely baffled as to what was going on.

Flander, being the dean, suppressed his anger and said coldly, "Shen An, how did my student offend you that you would resort to such ruthless methods? I expect you to give me an explanation."

Ning Rongrong then stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Flander, stop saying we provoked them. Tang San and Xiao Wu used underhanded tactics during the fight with Zhu Zhuqing. Who can tolerate that?"

Flander said with a very unpleasant expression, "Ning Rongrong, don't forget that you are also a student of Shrek Academy. We at Shrek Academy should be united, not turn our backs on others."

"Zhu Zhuqing, you're the same. Can't we resolve any disputes at school?"

"You only told me to get out of the academy today, and now you're saying I'm your student?" Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes and said, revealing her true nature as a little devil.

Flander's sharp eyes turned to Shen An. He really couldn't afford to offend Ning Rongrong, but Shen An, who dared to hurt his student, shouldn't blame him for losing face.

Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously tried to stand in front of Shen An, but Shen An pushed her away, leaving her to face Flander directly.

"You intend to attack me?" Shen An asked directly.

Flanders replied seriously, "A little. I treasure my students, but you almost ruined them today."

Shen An smiled and said, "I fought four against one, and their cultivation was no weaker than mine. No one can blame me for this result. If you really want to take action, then come on."

Shen Anxin thought to himself, "This old man Deng really dares to take action. Without saying a word, he made Tom put on his battle suit and killed Tang Hao who was hiding in the shadows, leaving no future troubles."

Seeing Flander's unfriendly expression, Ning Rongrong instantly became nervous and quickly said:

"Flander, how dare you! Shen An—Shen An has already been taken as a disciple by my Sword Grandpa. If you dare to hit him, my Sword Grandpa has already wiped out your academy."

Flander didn't believe Ning Rongrong's words. Shen An had no chance to know Sword Douluo, and besides, he was a shrewd person who could see through Ning Rongrong's lie at a glance.

Flander glanced at Zhu Zhuqing behind Shen An, whose lips were slightly pursed and whose eyes held a certain determination, and thought to himself, "Shen An is really popular."

“I, Flander, have a certain reputation throughout the continent. I would never do something like bullying the weak. My students will take revenge on you in the future,” Flander said coldly.

Shen An chuckled and said, "Zhao Wuji said the same thing. I welcome you all. Please feel free to come again in the future."

“It’s good for a young person to have ambition, but unfortunately you don’t know what kind of person you’ve offended today,” Flander said meaningfully.

He then quickly led his four students away. He noticed that although his students looked bloodied and battered, their injuries were just the right amount, except for Tang San. However, it shouldn't be a problem, since the person in the shadows hadn't made a move.

None of the four were seriously injured, and timely treatment would not affect their health or future prospects. This is why he decided not to take action against Shen An.

As for Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, Flander didn't bother with them. He had already realized that the two of them were clearly on the same side as Shen An.

Flander left with a slight sigh. He really didn't understand why two of his seven students had suddenly turned against him.

However, the injuries of the four little ones did not allow him to think about them in detail; they needed to be treated as soon as possible, and he could only ask about this matter later.

As soon as Flander left, Shen An secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to clash with this old man, who knew when the next Superman suit of this caliber would be revealed?

Shen An looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong and said, "What are you two going to do? You are Shrek Academy students. After this, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to maintain a good relationship with them."

Zhu Zhuqing blinked her beautiful eyes and pursed her lips: "It's okay. You stood up for me, and besides, Tang San and Xiao Wu were in the wrong to begin with."

Ning Rongrong said nonchalantly, "At worst, I'll just go back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. What's the big deal? Zhu Zhuqing, if you'd like, you can come back with me." Ning Rongrong extended an olive branch to Zhu Zhuqing.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, has practitioners who are far stronger than those from Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing seemed worried and shook her head, saying, "It's alright. We're going to Shrek Academy to cultivate. Once the cause and effect of this matter come out, the teachers' attitude towards us won't change. We'll just ignore those people."

"Alright, I'll stay here for a few more days. I've finally gotten out of here, and I really don't want to go home," Ning Rongrong said casually.

Shen An couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Zhu Zhuqing was still too naive. He had to go back and persuade her properly. He couldn't let her go back to Shrek Academy no matter what.

Looking at the mess in the arena, Shen An felt even more troubled, wondering if he could afford to pay for the damages with his limited wealth.

"Damn it, Flander is really shrewd. He's definitely leaving so quickly because he doesn't want to pay compensation," Shen An thought resentfully.

Chapter 49 Shen's only obsession is his reputation (Please read on!!!)

Pang Tao, the person in charge of the Soul Arena, walked in and saw the mess on the ground. His eyelids twitched. He looked at Shen An's information. Could this really be the power that a Great Soul Master could cause?

Just as Shen An was preparing to talk to Pang Tao about giving him less money, Ning Rongrong stepped forward.

"This is what we broke. As for compensation, you can take my token and go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to ask for it."

Upon hearing this, Shen An's gaze softened as he looked at Ning Rongrong. This girl was usually willful and capricious, but she could be managed when it mattered.

She's truly generous when it comes to money, and she's truly ready to help when needed.

Pang Tao respectfully returned the token to Ning Rongrong: "Miss, you are joking. It's just some facilities, there's no need for compensation. Besides, it was our fault for letting people in."

"It's just that high-level Soul Saints are indeed rare, and we really couldn't stop them. Please forgive us, Miss."

Ning Rongrong replied, "It's alright. In that case, we'll be going now."

"Young lady, please wait. I apologize for the fright you and your friends have suffered today. I have prepared three thousand gold soul coins as a token of my appreciation."

When this high-level Soul Saint barged in, the person in charge was really flustered. Fortunately, Ning Rongrong was alright, otherwise he really didn't know if his Great Soul Arena would still exist.

“I’m not short of money, give it to them both.” Ning Rongrong pointed to Shen An and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head to indicate that she did not want to, while Shen An fell into deep thought.

Tom was pacing around anxiously, thinking, "This is all money! Why don't you want it?"

Shen An stepped forward and said with a beaming smile, "Oh, you're too kind. It's really embarrassing to have damaged your facilities and then have to pay for it."

"However, since you are so sincere, I do have a request."

Pang Tao's expression softened when he heard the first half of Shen An's sentence, but when he heard the rest, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

If he doesn't even want money, he must have a bigger scheme. He's just agreeing out of respect for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess, as long as the person's request isn't too unreasonable.

Pang Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, it was our fault today. Young man, please tell me."

Shen An smiled broadly and said, "Brother, I don't care about money, I only love some fame. Could you please arrange some more gambling and fighting events for me as soon as possible and then promote it for me?"

Pang Tao looked at Shen An with a strange expression. In fact, most people come to the Soul Arena hoping to gain both fame and fortune, but ultimately it all comes down to money.

This person is quite something; he doesn't care about money but only about fame. But that makes things easy; all we have to do is spread some publicity.

"Young man, you're too kind. It's not a problem at all. My name is Pang Tao. You can just call me Brother Pang from now on," Pang Tao said.
