Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

Tom looked at the horse, who was full and satisfied, and thought to himself.

3～2～1.

With a crisp snap of his fingers, the horse that had been tirelessly carrying Shen An and the others for five or six days instantly foamed at the mouth and fainted.

"Oh ho ho ha ha ha ha ha"

Tom laughed triumphantly and bounced around on the horse's head.

The waiter, carrying a huge handful of hay, rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Am I seeing things?" A cat was kicking the horse's head.

When he opened his eyes again, Tom had disappeared. The staff member said something strange and then poured the hay into the manger.

Tom, who had been hiding behind a pillar, quietly came out and took out a bunch of croton seeds to mix in.

Very well, you've kicked my head and released the bastard, I, Emperor Tang, will forgive you from now on. I am a magnanimous cat.

Chapter 104 Tang San Enters the Heavenly Battle, Another Conflict Erupts (Revised)

The next day, Shen An looked at the horse, which was suffering from persistent diarrhea, and fell into deep thought. It was obvious that it had eaten something wrong.

Shen An looked at the guilty Tom, whose eyes darted around as he pointed at Jerry.

Jerry, without any hesitation, opened his mouth and bit Tom's finger. That sixth son always blames Tom for his mistakes.

Tom's white gloves instantly turned red and swollen. After letting out a cry of pain, he leaped onto the ceiling of the hotel room, causing Shen An to incur another unnecessary expense.

Afterwards, Shen An looked at Tom helplessly and said;

"Alright, Tom, don't cause any more trouble. Be a magnanimous cat."

Tom raised his paw and nodded seriously, though it was unclear whether he had taken it to heart or not.

Or, I listened, but I still made the same mistake next time.

"Let's go, Rongrong. We had a little fun yesterday, so let's take Zhuqing to school first."

Zhu Zhuqing had a strange feeling when she heard these words, and she felt that Shen An was an old patriarch.

Along the way, Shen An kept telling Zhu Zhuqing many things, such as:

"Zhuqing, cultivate diligently in the academy and eat on time every day."

"Don't cause trouble. Of course, if anyone bullies you, don't be afraid. Come to me immediately, and I will help you get revenge."

He acted like a parent who was always worried about their child, which made Ning Rongrong, who was walking behind, secretly amused. It was so funny.

"Ah."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly, a dangerous glint in her eyes: "I'll listen to whatever you say, but you better watch out and behave yourself outside."

Ning Rongrong, who was walking behind, could no longer laugh. Zhu Zhuqing's words seemed to be dissing her, but she had no evidence.

Meanwhile, the Shrek academy students, who had traveled two thousand kilometers on foot since leaving Shrek Academy, were on their way to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Flander, wanting to save money, made the five Shrek students run all the way here, ostensibly to train them.

The Shrek group searched high and low within Heaven Dou City but could not find the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Finally, with the help of the city's residents, they learned the location of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

On their way to the academy, Tang San and the others were also very excited.

Cultivating within this top-tier academy, and leveraging their training environment, both Tang San and Dai Mubai believed they could achieve greater progress and accelerate their path to defeating Shen An.

This time, the Shrek academy members introduced Qin Ming and successfully entered the academy.

The journey from Tiandou City to Tiandou Royal Academy was about twenty miles, and the group walked leisurely, neither fast nor slow.

"Rongrong, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is really rich and powerful," Shen An exclaimed.

"Of course, this mountain belongs to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Oh, and there's also the forest behind it and the lake at the foot of the mountain on the left."

“Cultivating in such a pleasant place is a hundred times better than Shrek Academy being in a small village.”

Shen An would like to specifically criticize Shrek Academy here.

One of the students guarding the gate at Tiandou Academy today happens to be a branch disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so he is naturally familiar with Miss Ning Rongrong.

He bowed first and said, "Young Miss, are you here to register at the academy today? The sect has made all the necessary preparations. I'll take you there."

“No, I’m just here with my friend today. You can take her, I’ll just wander around.” Ning Rongrong said, pointing at Zhu Zhuqing.

The other nine Soul Masters stared at Ning Rongrong with surprise and doubt. As noble children, they had naturally heard of her as the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

However, more captivating than the two women's beauty were the upright-walking cat and the mouse perched on its shoulder.

"How strange! Cats and mice can get along so well," the gatekeeper thought to himself.

With disciples from a branch of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School present, no unexpected problems arose, and Shen An and his group entered the academy smoothly.

"Hey, Shen An, you actually came to Tian Dou, and Tom is here too."

A familiar voice rang out; it was Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan looked at Tom with surprise and delight; this was her savior cat.

"Shen An, wait here. I'm going to call my grandfather. He's been wanting to see you and Tom for a long time," Dugu Yan said quickly, then ran off without looking back, giving Shen An no time to react.

Shen An shrugged helplessly. What a mess this was, but he couldn't refuse their hospitality. He couldn't just leave and leave them empty-handed.

Ning Rongrong looked at Shen An teasingly and said, "Then you just wait. I'm going to find Zhu Qing first to show her around the academy."

In front of the Education Committee, the three Soul Douluos, Meng Shenji, and the Shrek Academy members, who came out from there, chatted happily.

The teachers at Shrek Academy all possessed considerable soul power, and their disciples were exceptionally talented. In the eyes of Meng Shenji and the other two, they had potential that was no less than that of Yu Tianheng and others, especially Tang San, who amazed them.

Not only did he break through under the pressure of Zhilin Soul Douluo, but he also possessed an external soul bone, a rare treasure among soul masters, second only to a 100,000-year soul ring. What an astonishing talent!

'It's him! What's he doing here?'

Yu Xiaogang noticed that Shen An and Tom's faces were shrouded in gloom.

Following the principle of hating the house because of the crow, when Yu Xiaogang saw Jerry on Tom's shoulder, he thought with even more disdain: "As a mouse, to actually play with a cat, and so intimately, is truly despicable."

Noticing Yu Xiaogang's unusual behavior, Meng Shenji asked urgently, "Master, what's wrong? Did you discover any problems at the academy?"

Yu Xiaogang initially wanted to reply that it was fine, but after thinking about it, he decided that it wouldn't hurt to use the power of the Dream God to teach Shen An a lesson.

So he said, "I saw a person who is of questionable character. He lets his pet run rampant and has even injured one of our students. I just don't know why he is at Tiandou Academy."

"Oh, I never thought that happened. How could someone like that get into my Heavenly Dou Academy?"

Following Yu Xiaogang's gaze, Meng Shenji saw Shen An and the cat and mouse beside him.

Dai Mubai and Tang San were instantly excited. Perhaps you are very powerful, but how will you deal with three Soul Douluos?

However, these three education commissioners were honest and upright people, and they did not listen to only one side of the story.

Tang San decided to add fuel to the fire, saying, "I urge the three seniors to drive this person away and teach him a lesson. This person is of bad character, and my sister Xiao Wu and I almost lost our lives at his hands."

After a moment's hesitation, the three education commissions decided to find out the situation first.

Seeing this, Dai Mubai became a little anxious. What if he really gave Shen An time to explain? How could he stir up trouble again?

"The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable," Dai Mubai stepped forward and said.

"Shen An, not only did you injure us that day, but you also abducted two of our Shrek Academy students. Now you've relentlessly pursued us to the Heaven Dou Academy. What exactly do you want to do?!"

Shen An saw that it was the Shrek Academy students, and he had no good feelings towards them: "What does my presence have to do with you? You only had yourself to blame back then."

Zhilin, who had the best impression of the Shrek Academy members, said, "Kid, since you're not a member of the Heaven Dou Academy, you should leave now. I won't hold you responsible for trespassing."

Hearing Shen An's reply, Zhi Lin was certain that Shen An had a grudge against the Shrek Academy students. However, in his opinion, Shen An was ultimately just an ordinary Soul Master, how could he compare to the Shrek Academy students and teachers?

Shrek Academy not only has highly skilled teachers, but also exceptionally talented students. It's obvious who is valued more and who is less, and those who become members of the Royal Academy's academic committee will naturally weigh the pros and cons.

Shen An found it amusing; this was an attempt to help the Shrek Academy members target him. Shen An narrowed his eyes and said, "What if I don't leave?"

The three education committee members looked over simultaneously with displeasure, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

Tom quietly took out his revolver and aimed it at the other man.

Jerry also pulled out a small cannon to adjust his position.

Threatening and intimidating Shen An for no reason—isn't that a slap in their face?

Chapter 105: Not very damaging, but extremely insulting.

Faced with a group of menacing humans, Tom and Jerry swallowed hard, glanced at Shen An, and took a deep breath, their small chests puffing out as if to encourage themselves.

Protecting my owner's safety is my duty as a cat (or mouse).

Dai Mubai's evil eyes flashed with a cold light as he made a fierce move: "I will take you out of the Heaven Dou Academy right now."

Although he knew he was no match for Shen An, Dai Mubai was confident with the presence of the Shrek Academy teachers and the three members of the Tian Dou Academy's teaching committee. He didn't believe Shen An would dare to hurt him.

This is the perfect opportunity for revenge.

"boom!"

A sharp, blue light flashed, and Dai Mubai flew backwards without stopping.

No, he really dared to make a move.

Zhi Lin said angrily, "The Shrek teachers and students are guests of our Tian Dou. How dare this ignorant brat injure people so casually."

A sky-blue vine appeared in the air, but its color was as clear as jade, and it coiled around Shen An like a wildly dancing serpent.

Its sound was like a thunderclap. Seeing the fierce approach, Shen An lit up one yellow and two purple soul rings at the same time, and silently activated his azure sword eyes. Finally, he was able to catch a trace of the green vine.

The pressure that Zhilin brought to Shen An was second only to that of the Titan Giant Ape, after all, it was a direct confrontation rather than a friendly sparring match like Chen Xin's.

Shen An dared not be careless in the slightest. The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass shone brightly, attempting to cut through the attack.

Tom and Jerry reacted even faster than Shen An; the reaction speed of these two little guys was quite astonishing.

Take Tom as an example. In the way it's portrayed in cartoons, as long as Tom is calm and prepared, he can shatter a shooting star falling from the sky.

But if Tom panics and thinks he's incapable, he won't even be able to avoid the falling tree next to him.

This time, however, it concerned Shen An's safety. In Tom's eyes, there was no such thing as failure; only success was allowed, and failure was not permitted.

Tom fired six shots in quick succession, the six round bullets carrying tremendous force as they hurtled towards the Azure Vine.

"biu~biu~biu~"

What left Zhilin speechless was the scene that unfolded before his eyes: the Azure Vine, as if it were alive, convulsed uncontrollably and jumped around in the air after being hit, as if to express how painful it was to be hit by the bullet.

Zhilin was momentarily dazed. Something was wrong. Could it be that his Azure Vine had gained sentience? But this seemingly insignificant blow had elicited such a violent reaction from the Azure Vine. How was he supposed to fight against humans in the future?

"Hmph~"

A slight pain pulled Zhilin back to reality. He looked down at his groin and saw that a small, round bullet had hit him there.

It turns out that Jerry had just heard Tom's gunshot and was so startled that he quickly lit the fuse. In his panic, the angle of the gun muzzle changed, resulting in a direct hit to the groin.

Moreover, the cannonball, which resembled a steel ball, was constantly spinning and rubbing against Zhilin's crotch area. Of course, given Contra's physical abilities, it was impossible for it to cause any injury.

But the damage is minimal, though the insult is extremely strong.

Zhilin felt humiliated. In front of everyone, a dignified Contra Master was attacked in his weak spot by a stinky rat with a strange weapon.

Zhilin glared angrily at Jerry, his eyes wide with fury: "Damn rat, I'll grind you to dust!"

The azure vine had returned to normal and lashed out at Jerry like a long, green whip. Seeing that things were going badly, Jerry quickly ran away on his short legs.

Jerry's short legs spun and accelerated in the air before he turned into a small brown phantom and ran away. Azure Vine lashed out behind him, and every time Zhilin thought he could hit him, Jerry would dodge it by the slightest margin.

Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others watched with shining eyes. That's it! Let's escalate the conflict!

Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan looked displeased. Zhilin's repeated failures were a disgrace to the three education commissioners.

Meng Shenji's body instantly became illusory, transforming into a pitch-black phantom. Thick black mist rose from his feet, and eight spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, and three black—blown simultaneously.

Bai Baoshan also released his martial spirit, holding a golden cauldron in his hand.

The two shouted in unison, "Enough! End this farce!"

The three Soul Douluos attacked simultaneously, and their powerful aura made not only Shen An, who was directly facing them, but also the Shrek Academy members on the side feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

A beam of green light appeared out of nowhere, blocking Shen An's path and intercepting the astonishing power.

"You're right, it's time to end this farce. How dare you touch my granddaughter's benefactor! You three old geezers are utterly absurd!"

A cold and forceful voice boomed from the sky. Meng Shenji and the other two felt a chill run down their spines and sensed a deadly danger, as if they were being watched by a venomous snake lurking in the dark. The three of them instantly stood back to back.
