Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Zhu Zhuqing and Tom Jerry went together to the teahouse that had been reduced to ruins.

Bu Le followed closely behind, his eyes gleaming with lust and greed. A stunning beauty and two extremely intelligent soul beasts—this was going to be a windfall!

Tom put on a large helmet for himself and a small helmet for Jerry, then rolled up his sleeves and got ready to get to work.

Hehehehehe~

"Little beauty, it's getting dark. It's dangerous for you to be here alone. Come home with me, and I'll make you feel amazing."

Bu Le walked out without any hesitation. The streets were almost deserted, so he could safely make his move against Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed, and two yellow soul rings rose up at the same time. She looked at Bu Le with a solemn expression, as if the person in front of her had "I am a bad guy" written all over his face.

Not only was Bu Le unafraid, but his eyes lit up with joy: "Wow, a female Soul Master too! This will make things even more exciting." Four Soul Rings rose up beneath his feet one after another.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed. This lewd man was actually a Soul Sect member. Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tom and Jerry. She could still try to escape, but what about Tom and Jerry? They were probably doomed.

Tom's importance to Shen An is self-evident, and Zhu Zhuqing would never abandon him and run away alone.

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and decided to fight to the death. Something called "acceleration potion" that Shen An had given her quietly appeared in her hand.

Chapter 102 Cat and Mouse Cooperation: No Enemy is Invincible

Shen An was playing Go with Ning Rongrong when he had nothing to do. At first, Ning Rongrong didn't win a single game, but by the end, they were starting to show signs of being evenly matched. Ye Zi watched quietly from the side.

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to win, Shen An said in feigned surprise:

"Oh dear, where did Tom go? And where did Zhuqing go? No, no, it's not safe at night. I have to go find them."

Shen An suddenly stood up, and in doing so, he "unintentionally" scrambled the chessboard. Ning Rongrong watched, her teeth itching with envy at Shen An's inability to accept defeat.

However, Shen An escaped a game he was destined to lose, but on the other hand, Zhu Zhuqing, along with Tom and Jerry, had disappeared, which made Shen An quite worried.

Of course, the main concern is that Tom and Jerry might cause trouble, since the mysterious effects of a cat and mouse together are too powerful.

Zhu Zhuqing had the speed-up potion he gave her, and since she never caused trouble, she should be fine.

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was about to drink the medicine in a desperate attempt to fight back, seeing the unhappiness that was overflowing with malice in front of her, two figures, one tall and one short, wearing safety helmets, suddenly appeared in front of her.

Tom glared angrily, thinking how wicked this man was, not only interfering with his home construction but also coveting his future mistress.

Jerry stood on Tom's shoulders, grinning and grimacing just like Tom.

Jerry, 'I don't know what I'm doing! Anyone who's Tom's enemy is my enemy!'

Bu Le laughed: "A stupid cat and a stinky rat, yet they're as loyal as dogs. I'll arrest you both first, then completely tame you into dogs."

This remark infuriated Tom and Jerry. To compare them to dogs was an insult to cats (and mice)!

Tom and Jerry exchanged a glance, their lips curving upwards simultaneously, the curves of their smiles identical. For the first time, the cat and mouse teamed up in the Douluo Continent.

It's a pity Shen An wasn't there, otherwise Shen An would definitely have felt sorry for Bu Le. Having watched thousands of episodes, Shen An had long understood a principle.

That means you can offend either the cat or the mouse, but you absolutely cannot offend both of them.

Offending both will only lead to certain death.

With a sneer, Bu Le reached out to grab Tom and Jerry. They were nothing but a stupid cat and a stinky mouse, daring to call themselves Soul Masters. What a joke.

Tom remained calm, took out an iron bar from behind him, and swung it directly at Bu Le's arm.

Although Bu Le was surprised that the cat had pulled out the iron rod from somewhere, he didn't believe that a cat's strength could defeat it.

"boom!"

The iron rod collided with the arm filled with soul power, and Bu Le smiled, but the arm was limp and powerless.

Unexpectedly, Tom also smiled, and the straight, hard iron rod, under Tom's swing, actually wrapped around Bole's arm like a rope.

A sense of unease crept into Bu Le's heart. Jerry had somehow appeared on a tree, holding a U-shaped magnet that seemed completely out of place with his size. The strong magnetic force attracted Bu Le's arm, which was entangled in the iron rod.

"call out!"

Despite possessing the soul power of a Soul Master, Bu Le Kong found himself completely unable to control his body, and he was sent flying wildly backwards towards the tree.

"boom!"

With a loud thud, Bu Le's hand was firmly held by the magnet hanging behind the tree, the powerful magnetic force rendering him unable to move.

Before Bu Le could react, Jerry jumped onto him, running from his hair over his nose to his shoulders, and finally down to Bu Le's waist.

Jerry took out matches and firecrackers. He lightly struck the match along Bu Le's waistband, and a spark ignited. The firecrackers also lit. Jerry then ripped open Bu Le's waistband, and by sheer force, the firecrackers landed right on Bu Le's genitals.

Jerry leaped down lightly, and Tom, who was already standing under the tree, stretched out his white glove to catch him. The cat and mouse simultaneously ducked their heads, leaving Zhu Zhuqing puzzled.

"boom!"

"Ahhh!"

A loud firecracker exploded, tearing Bu Le's crotch open and sending yellow, white, and red filth flying everywhere, making Zhu Zhuqing feel nauseous.

Bu Le also fainted from the pain of her genitals exploding.

Zhu Zhuqing stood there stunned. Everything ended too quickly. Tom and Jerry clearly had no soul power, yet they had managed to defeat a Soul Master so smoothly through a series of actions.

Jerry somehow produced a small cannon, which somehow managed to squeeze the unconscious Bu Le into a round shape and stuff it inside.

Tom excitedly lit a match, igniting the fuse of the little cannon.

"lb!"

Unhappy transformed into a round fireball and flew into the sky.

Tom and Jerry smiled at each other, shook hands amicably, and agreed to cooperate happily.

Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat dazed. It was over already. She could only say that Tom was indeed no ordinary cat, and neither was that mouse. Neither of them were simple.

Tom and Jerry had not forgotten their true purpose in coming here: to repair the collapsed teahouse and make amends for their mistake.

Without pausing, they arrived at the ruins of the teahouse, both wearing expressions of deep thought, when suddenly a golden light bulb lit up.

A cat and a mouse, each wielding a hammer or similar tool, transformed into a blue whirlwind and a smaller brown whirlwind, covering the ruins.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the scene before her in disbelief and pinched her own cheek. "Am I still half asleep? Or did I wake up too suddenly?"

The rubble and debris that had been scattered everywhere were swept away, and a building that was a one-to-one replica of the previous tea sample appeared, with even the missing marks on the door being exactly the same.

-

Zhu Zhuqing took Tom and Jerry back and told Shen An and the others about the series of events that happened on the way. When she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing's tone was more serious than ever before, as if she was afraid that Shen An would not believe her and wished she could immediately take Shen An to the teahouse to see for herself.

Shen An simply touched his chin and said, "The style sounds so familiar, no one but Tom and Jerry could pull it off. It's such a pity I didn't get to see it live."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Shen An in disbelief. "No, I'm telling you all these outrageous stories, and you believe them without even questioning them."

"Alright, since that's the case, let's proceed according to the original plan. Ye Zi will stay in Soto City to look after the teahouse, and we'll head to Tiandou City tomorrow."

In Tiandou City, Dugu Bo, with his dark green hair, stared at Dugu Yan in disbelief, tears glistening in his eyes: "Good, good! Yan Yan, all the evil on your body has really been removed. You will never be in danger again."

“There is such an extraordinary person in the world. Yan Yan, you did the right thing. Let alone a favor, this extraordinary person saved your life. I would go through fire and water for him without hesitation.”

Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue: "Grandpa, you're wrong. The one who saved my life wasn't a strange person, but a strange cat."

At this moment, Dugu Bo doubted his ears. What? His granddaughter's incurable poison was saved by a cat?

Am I hallucinating, or has Yan Yan gone mad?

Chapter 103 Tom Gets Kicked in the Head

Shen An marveled at the teahouse that Tom Jerry had built in just one or two hours.

This is the cat that the system respectfully calls the Heavenly Emperor, and the creation of Jerry, who is just as powerful.

Shen An and the others moved back from the hotel. The only thing that bothered Shen An was that the money had already been paid and couldn't be refunded, which made him very angry.

The next day, Shen An took Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Tom Jerry to Tiandou City.

Leave Yezi behind to look after the teahouse, since it was Shen An and Tom's first home. So when the teahouse collapsed, Tom was incredibly scared and felt guilty.

As a house cat, Tom's biggest fear is losing his home, which is why he was so excited when Jerry suggested rebuilding their home.

On the carriage outside Soto, Tom kept turning back to look longingly in the direction of the teahouse.

To reach Tiandou City, Shen An and his group need to traverse the entire territory of the Silves Kingdom, north of the Barak Kingdom, before they can enter the imperial city area of ​​the Tiandou Empire.

Further east lies the imperial city of the Heavenly Dou Empire. The entire journey is long, nearly two thousand miles.

With Ning Rongrong, this little rich woman, around, the carriage Shen An bought was naturally the best, capable of traveling five hundred miles a day without a problem.

Originally, Shen An was driving, but then Master Tang got playful and put on a coachman's uniform. Shen An's eyelids twitched when he saw this, but since Tom looked so insistent, Shen An still gave the whip to Tom.

Tom excitedly brandished his little whip and lashed the horse.

"boom!"

Tom was kicked in the head by a horse that was moving along.

When the horse saw a cat waving a small whip, it first glanced at it sideways, then panted heavily through its nostrils, and kicked Tom in the head with its hind legs.

The group had originally planned to admire Tom's dashing horsemanship, since in the eyes of the two women, there was practically nothing Tom couldn't do. But what they ended up seeing was this hilarious scene.

A strong hoof hurtled straight for Tom's head. Surprisingly, Tom didn't fall down immediately after being kicked; instead, he swung his little leather whip a few more times.

Then, the delayed reaction came. Tom suddenly realized he had been kicked by the horse. His whole body stiffened and trembled back and forth, like a clock being struck. His tongue lolled out, and with a snap, he stiffly fainted on the car.

Shen An's lips twitched, unsure of what to say. In the end, Shen An dragged Tom back into the car and drove off himself.

Along the way, Shen An would stop by cities with fighting arenas to make a name for himself.

It is worth mentioning that Shen An had already been promoted to the Gold Soul level because he received preferential treatment from Pang Tao in the Soto Grand Arena and because of his perfect record.

As a result, the staff informed Shen An that there was no Soul Master level opponent who could match him, and if he wanted to continue fighting Soul Masters, he would have to challenge opponents of a higher level.

This suited Shen An perfectly; he had always wanted to test how he compared to opponents at the Soul Master level, so he readily agreed.

The challenge of going beyond one's level is undoubtedly attractive. The Soul Arena promised that as long as Shen An could keep winning, they would make an exception and continue to fight. As a result, Shen An won one battle after another in one night, and his reputation value soared by 20,000 overnight.

This is just the beginning, and this is only what the audience provided. Once tonight's events spread, the resulting fame will be considerable.

The next day, a legend of a genius Soul Master spread throughout the city's Soul Arena, attracting many people who came to challenge him, only to find him gone.

After traveling at various stops for about five days, Shen An and his group arrived at Tiandou City.

Looking at the magnificent Tiandou City before him, which was infinitely more grand than Soto City, Shen An felt a surge of emotion.

Such a big city, how many people must live there? That's all just wasted reputation points!

As the saying goes, a pet's owner reflects its pet's character. Tom was narrow-minded, and so was Shen An. Shen An never forgot the embarrassing experience the Titan Ape had given him.

So, let's start the first step of funding to defeat the Titan Giant Ape from Tiandou City.

Speaking of Tom's magnanimity, after being kicked in the head by a horse, Tom didn't immediately retaliate. Instead, the closer he got to Tiandou City, the more radiant his smile became.

"But Rongrong, is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy located inside Heaven Dou City?"

Zhu Zhuqing asked with a puzzled look, because the top academies in Xingluo are generally not built in the city. After all, the cultivation facilities of top academies need enough space to be built. Although Tiandou City is big enough, it would be too extravagant to leave a large area empty for a single academy. Therefore, she asked the question with some curiosity.

"Of course not. The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is located outside the city. But hey, why are we in such a hurry to go to school? Let's enjoy this wonderful time together."

Shen An glanced at Ning Rongrong. Without external pressure or the harsh realities of society, Ning Rongrong was naturally playful and lazy, so her decision was not unexpected.

"Hmm, okay, but Rongrong, if possible, could you take me to Tiandou Academy tomorrow? I really want to cultivate."

Zhu Zhuqing said with a hint of seriousness and pleading, "For the past month, I have been exploring cultivation on my own. Although my progress is not slow, I naturally want a better cultivation environment and a renowned teacher."

"Alright, alright, I'll take you to school tomorrow, Zhuqing, but I'll go a little later." Ning Rongrong said somewhat embarrassedly. Zhu Zhuqing was so passionate about cultivation that it made her feel a little ashamed.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shen An with a questioning gaze.

"Ahem, I'll spend some time with Tom and Jerry these days, and I'm also planning to enter the academy a little later." Shen An naturally couldn't say that he had a system and that there was no future in cultivating at the academy, so he could only make up an excuse.

Disappointment was in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. Although she didn't want to leave Shen An, she craved power too much, after all, she was a girl who lacked a sense of security.

"Let's go into town and find a hotel to stay in first."

Shen An led the group into the city. Tian Dou City truly lived up to its reputation as the center of the empire. Pedestrians came and went on the streets, and many merchants were dragging their goods in and out of the city gate.

As I said before, with Ning Rongrong around, their group's food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation were all top-notch. They would never suffer any hardship; it's just money, after all, a little rich woman like her has plenty.

Upon entering a high-end hotel, Shen An instructed the staff to lead the carriage to the most luxurious horse stalls. Upon seeing this, Tom's eyes gleamed with excitement. He quietly lagged behind the others, tiptoeing and stealthily following the staff.

In the scene, Tom brings a large pile of hay to the horse, as if to offer it food.

The horse, unsuspecting, continued eating.
