Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Shen An said happily, "Thank you, Brother Pang."

Shen An was confident that he still had more than 30% of his soul power remaining, which was more than enough for a battle.

The battle with the four Shrek Seven Devils was merely to vent Zhu Zhuqing's anger; the real purpose was to gain fame and popularity in the Great Soul Arena.

Ning Rongrong frowned and said, "How come you have so much energy? Keep fighting! Aren't you tired?"

Shen An laughed heartily: "Because there is enough joy in the heart, I do not feel tired."

How could something as enjoyable as gaining fame points and then participating in prize draws to improve oneself feel tiring?

Pang Tao was very efficient and quickly arranged a game for Shen An, the one with the most participants.

According to Pang Tao's six-ring Soul Emperor's insight, Shen An is very strong, and even with the assistance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Shen An's brilliance cannot be overshadowed.

It should be noted that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support is to become stronger when facing stronger opponents, and the signs of the battle on the scene have already exceeded the strength of a three-ring Soul Master.

Therefore, Pang Tao directly assigned Shen An to be the strongest among the Great Soul Masters in the Soul Arena.

If Shen An wants fame, then he naturally needs strong people as stepping stones; the fame brought by those who are not strong is negligible.

Pang Tao looked at Shen An as if he were looking at a treasure trove. Shen An wanted fame, which did not conflict with the interests of the Soul Arena. As long as it was managed properly, the Soul Arena could also gain both fame and fortune.

"Alright, alright, why are you acting like a battle maniac? Fine, I'll play another 2v2 match with you later, since the teams are already registered anyway."

Seeing that Shen An did not seem tired, Zhu Zhuqing wanted to say that if Shen An liked fighting, she could accompany him. However, Ning Rongrong spoke first, saying that the team registration was already completed.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was deep and unfathomable, her lips were tightly pursed, and her pearly teeth left a row of teeth marks. I was clearly here first.

In the ensuing battle, Shen An won as expected. He was highly focused throughout the entire process, even more so than when he fought Tang San.

Shen Ande had to constantly control his strength to avoid splitting his opponent in two. His opponent was not strong enough, and was not even as good as any of the combat-type Soul Masters from Shrek Academy.

Whether it's one-on-one or two-on-two, only one match can be played per day in the game, so Shen An took the two girls and the cat to the two-on-two arena.

The audience seats for the two-on-two match were at least half full, showing the high level of popularity. Their two opponents were already standing on the stage.

The host now announces the opening remarks of the Soul Master group, as usual.

Shen An walked ahead of Ning Rongrong. At this time, Shen An was nearly 1.8 meters tall. The improvement of his soul power and the acquisition of soul rings made him develop exceptionally well, completely unlike the body of a fourteen-year-old.

Ning Rongrong looked at Shen An's tall figure blocking her way and felt her face burning. Damn, what's with this strange sense of security?

Zhu Zhuqing sat on the sidelines, petting her cat while watching the two on stage with a sullen expression. "How annoying," she thought to herself, unconsciously tightening her grip on the screen.

Tom meowed, startling Zhu Zhuqing. It turned out that she had used too much force and knocked a tuft of blue fur off Tom's head.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the heartbroken Tom with a face full of guilt: "I'm sorry, Tom, it's all my fault. I was thinking about something and didn't notice you. I unconsciously used too much force."

Tom wiped away the tears in his eyes, gathered the blue fur in Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and took out a bottle of glue labeled 502.

It first rubbed its bald head with its own smear, then carefully applied the blue fur, leaving Zhu Zhuqing stunned. Why could Tom always pull out such strange things?

Shen An's opponents in this match were also a man and a woman.

The man was a muscular, strong man with bulging veins, clearly a power-type Soul Master; the woman was alluring and seductive, dressed provocatively.

"Next up is an exciting battle, with the four-time undefeated Akaishi duo facing off against our talented young Anrong duo. Who will emerge victorious? Let's wait and see!"

Upon hearing the "Anrong" duo, Shen An was speechless. He glanced at Ning Rongrong, who said guiltily:

"Didn't you tell me to take it myself? Besides, Anrong is so good, peaceful and prosperous."

Upon hearing the name of the Anrong duo, Zhu Zhuqing, sitting in the audience, suddenly clenched her slender, narrow hand tightly, as if venting her emotions.

"what!"

Tom cried out in pain again, tears streaming down his face as he looked at the large patch of blue fur in Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

This Heavenly Emperor has gone bald again.

Chapter 50 The Great Power of Emperor Tang

With Ning Rongrong's assistance, Shen An won again without any doubt.

Of course, even without that tower, Shen An could still annihilate the enemy.

The audience erupted in cheers. This match was incredible; such young boys and girls had so easily defeated the experienced Akaishi duo.

The Red Stone Duo were completely powerless to fight back; the boy's sword was too fast and too sharp!

Ning Rongrong discovered that the soul power consumed each time she assisted Shen An was too great, much greater than the consumption of assisting three people at the same time.

Ning Rongrong tilted her head and said, "Shen An, I'm so tired, help me downstairs." A strange look flickered in her eyes.

Ning Rongrong made up her mind that since Shen An had scolded her and made her cry last time, she was determined to get revenge and live up to her reputation as a little devil.

Whenever Shen An reached out to her, she would slap his hand away in front of everyone, then walk away with an aloof expression, living up to her reputation as a little witch.

However, if Shen Anzhen does this, whether she will follow her own heart remains to be seen.

Shen An glanced at her sideways and said, "Who's spoiling you? Hurry up and go downstairs. It's getting late. Go back and rest."

Ning Rongrong puffed out her cheeks, her delicate face instantly becoming adorable. She stomped her foot and stormed off, truly a blockhead.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, bathing the path back to the teahouse.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ning Rongrong, who was walking alongside them, and a bad feeling flashed through her mind as she asked:

"Is your hotel on the same road as ours? Do you want me to take you back?"

Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "I didn't book a hotel. I'm staying at Shen An's place now. The room is all ready. What about you?"

Shen An, who was walking ahead, suddenly felt a chill. Tom's hair stood on end. Oh no, there was a murderous aura!

Suppressing her displeasure, Zhu Zhuqing said, "What a coincidence, I'm also staying at Shen An's teahouse. Let's go together."

Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes: "Oh, what a coincidence! We can go back to the academy together tomorrow."

"Hmm," Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly.

When Zhu Zhuqing said that she also lived at Shen An's place, Ning Rongrong was not very surprised, since she had seen Shen An and Zhu Zhuqing walking together from the very beginning.

Ning Rongrong told herself that everyone knew each other and was a friend, so it was nothing, but she kicked away every pebble she encountered along the way.

Tom glanced at Shen An, who was completely ignoring him, and helplessly spread out a white glove. "You're really something, kid. You're so calm."

Little did Tom know that this wasn't just a direct criticism of Shen Anzhi; Shen Anzhi hadn't thought of it that way at all.

It should be noted that Zhu Zhuqing and the others were only twelve or thirteen years old. Although they were physically mature, their mental age was still considered to be underage by Shen An.

As someone who received a good education on Earth, Shen Anke couldn't bring himself to have any impure thoughts about two girls who weren't even of legal age, even though the girls looked exactly like adults.

Shen An opened the door of the teahouse, and Zhu Zhuqing walked in with practiced ease, opening the room Shen An had reserved for her with great skill.

No one has gone inside these days, but the decorations remain the same and it's spotless; Tom cleans it every day. (P.S. Tom is a cat, not a person.)

Zhu Zhuqing, however, did not think so. She simply glanced at Shen An silently, a slight smile playing on her lips. This was the epitome of ice melting and snow lotus blooming.

She misunderstood, thinking that Shen An had been doing all the cleaning, unaware that Shen An had developed a Tom dependency and had basically left most of the work to Tom.

Ning Rongrong, who was the last to go upstairs, happened to see Zhu Zhuqing open the door the moment she did, and she instantly exploded.

"Shen An! Why is her room so nice, while mine only has a bed? I'm not having it!"

Shen An explained, "Zhu Qing's room was already prepared. You're only arriving tonight, so it's good enough that you have a place to stay."

Ning Rongrong glared at Shen An angrily, and snorted loudly, "I'm a little witch, how dare you treat me like this?"

Ning Rongrong instinctively wanted to speak sarcastically, but then she remembered that Shen An would really be fierce to her, and she suddenly didn't dare to.

She lowered her head like a quail, dejectedly going to her room, which had nothing but a bed, muttering to herself:

"Hmph, I'll let it slide today because you beat up those Shrek students, otherwise I would have definitely made you pay."

Tom looked left and right, reaching the door before Ning Rongrong could go back inside. He grinned, showing his big white teeth, and then—

The door slammed shut, and soon a series of clattering sounds came from inside the room.

Ning Rongrong was stunned at first. Even Tom was like this, closing the door on her and not letting her in. How infuriating! Ning Rongrong's expression became even more aggrieved.

He thought to himself, "Should I leave?"

"Ahem, Tom probably wanted to help you decorate your room," Shen An said with a cough. After all, the little witch's expression was too aggrieved, and she was probably misunderstanding something.

No sooner had Shen An finished speaking than Tom flung open the door with a loud bang.

Shen An was stunned. Tom really didn't follow any science at all. He had set everything up in such a short time.

In the King's Canyon, it takes 30 seconds for the minions to reach the turret.

Everyone looked into the house to see how a cat could decorate it, and what they saw left them speechless with astonishment.

The once empty room was now covered with beautiful patterns, and the bed was made up in a pink, girlish style.

The table is fully furnished with exquisite and beautiful ornaments, and there is even a transparent vase on the bedside table filled with vibrant roses.

Shen An recognized it at a glance; the vase was the one Tom had placed when he made the candlelight dinner, and now it was in Ning Rongrong's room.

The most outrageous thing is that Tom painted the walls a light pink, and there were beautiful landscape paintings on the walls. The house not only didn't smell bad, but also had a refreshing fragrance.

Ning Rongrong walked into the room in a daze. "This is my room?" Just a moment ago it was a humble room, but now it has suddenly become a princess room. She immediately lay down on the bed, which was so soft and comfortable.

Tom stood proudly at the door, his little chest puffed out, a smug smile on his lips. This family would fall apart sooner or later without me.

Ning Rongrong got off the bed and happily hugged Tom: "Tom, you're amazing! You're the best and most magical cat I've ever seen!"

Tom seems to have a magical power; when he does something unbelievable, people are initially shocked, but then they accept it.

Shen An referred to it as the great power from Emperor Tang.

"Alright, it's getting late, everyone should go and get some rest," Shen An said directly.

After experiencing many high-quality battles today, Shen An was also quite exhausted. He only participated in the Soul Battle later on purely for the sake of reputation points; otherwise, he would have come back to rest long ago.

Tom went back to his little house on his own. He had been wanting to sleep for a long time. Who could understand how happy it was to be a house cat, lying around eating and not doing any work?

Everyone went back to their rooms.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at her unchanging little house, then at Ning Rongrong's, and slammed the door shut.

Hmph, although your room is very beautiful, mine was personally and carefully decorated by Shen An. I prefer my own little nest.

Chapter 51: Persuading the Two Women (Please Read On!)

At Shrek Academy, after feeding the injured four Shrek members his candy beans, Shao Xin, a Soul Saint specializing in food, said, "Brother Fu, don't worry, their bones weren't damaged. With my Soul Skill, they'll be bouncing around again soon."

Oscar looked at everyone with concern: "Dean, who beat our academy's people so badly? Could it be that the Soul Sect is bullying the weak?"

Flander sighed, "If only he were a Soul Master. This is the first time in so many years that I'm worried about my teaching level. I never thought that my student would be defeated by a Great Soul Master, even though he had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile as an aid."

Oscar suddenly remembered something and realized that Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were not there. He suddenly stammered:

"Dean F... Dean F, could it be that Rongrong helped someone beat them up? Could that person be the kid who used the sword the other day?"

Flanders nodded silently.

Oscar gasped. "Is this even human?!"

And judging from what Flander just said, it's probably not just this kid alone, one against four. Even with Ning Rongrong's help, it's still two against four.

Moreover, he had heard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile. With Ning Rongrong's soul power at level 20-something, the attribute bonus was at most 30%, and even so, she still managed to beat these four people half to death.

Oscar asked cautiously, "Dean, that person must be in a bad situation too, right? Did he lose any limbs?"

Flander said, rather annoyed, "Does excessive consumption of soul power and fluctuations in qi and blood count?"

Oscar was speechless, but remembering Ning Rongrong, he still asked, "Dean, will Rongrong come back to school?" His eyes were filled with hope.

Oscar was immediately captivated by Ning Rongrong's stunning beauty upon first sight; it's perfectly normal for a young man to be attracted to her.

Flander slowly shook his head. First, things had gotten so ugly that Ning Rongrong might not come back. Second, he knew that even if Ning Rongrong fell for Shen An, she wouldn't be interested in Oscar, since Oscar was ultimately a support-type Soul Master.

Zhao Wuji burst in, and seeing the four little ones lying on the bed, he felt especially sorry for them, particularly Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, whom he had personally taught.

"Mu Bai's old injuries haven't healed yet, how come he has new injuries on his body? Boss Fu, who hurt them? Did you help them get revenge? This is a slap in the face to our Shrek Academy!"

Zhao Wuji shouted at the top of his lungs.

Flander gave a wry smile. He wouldn't mind taking action if someone bullied him, but the problem was that the person taking action was a Great Soul Master, so he had to repeat the story again.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Wuji was not shocked at all; instead, he fell into deep thought. Flander asked, "Why aren't you surprised?"

Zhao Wuji said in a muffled voice, "When that kid fought Mu Bai for the first time, didn't I throw a punch at his sword at the end?"
