Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

"who!"

The green light faded, revealing an old man dressed in a simple gray robe with messy green hair. Meng Shenji and the other two were so breathless that they dared not speak for a moment.

Because they saw that there were nine spirit rings surrounding the rising figure—it was a Title Douluo!

Even if they were three Soul Douluos of level 80 or above, they wouldn't be confident of defeating them.

Although there is only a one-level difference in titles between a Soul Douluo and a Title Douluo, their strengths are worlds apart.

Yu Xiaogang was initially delighted to see Shen An and his group about to suffer a loss, but then a Title Douluo appeared, which filled him with both surprise and panic.

With his green hair, a pungent, fishy smell, and a chilling aura like a venomous snake, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but exclaim, "You are the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!"

Meng Shenji was shocked upon hearing this. This Poison Douluo was not to be trifled with. Although his soul power was the lowest among the titled Douluos, his poison skills were superb, and he was the most unscrupulous person.

Most Soul Masters cherish their reputation, especially Title Douluo, and most disdain to argue with others. However, this person is different. If you provoke him, he will truly bully the weak and stare at you like a venomous snake, making you suffer unbearably.

Meng Shenji said in surprise, "Your Majesty, please forgive us. We were unaware of the connection between the person before us and you, and therefore had no intention of offending you."

"The teachers and students of Shrek Academy are about to join my Heaven Dou Academy. I cannot stand by and watch their students get hurt, so I acted hastily. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Dugu Bo let out a strange laugh, his cold green eyes fixed on Yu Xiaogang: "I didn't expect someone would recognize me. You're Shrek's teacher?"

Yu Xiaogang forced himself to remain calm and said, "Shrek Theory Teacher, Master Yu Xiaogang."

Dugu Bo sneered: "Master? So you're just a notorious clown in the Soul Master world."

Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red and then turned pale. He said with shame and anger, "My theory is absolutely correct. Even if you are a Title Douluo, you cannot insult me."

Flander felt a chill run down his spine. This was a Title Douluo! We should have just listened to what he said, but his old brother actually dared to talk back. He was really out of his mind.

Flander, blocking Dugu Bo's gaze, bowed and said, "Your Majesty Dugu, I am Flander, the Dean of Shrek Academy. I apologize to you. Today was all a misunderstanding. How about we stop here? The three members of the Education Committee, Meng Shenji, were only acting out of concern, which is why they punished Shen An."

Dugu Bo sneered: "You think you can just give up? It's not that simple. My granddaughter's savior is not someone you can bully or just let go of.

As Dugu Bo spoke, the phantom of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King appeared, its emerald-like eyes gleaming with a ghostly green light, as if it wanted to devour people.

Chapter 106 Tang San: That Year, at Thirteen, Standing Like a Minion

At this moment, everyone on Shrek Academy's side looked grim. The situation had reversed too quickly. They had intended to target Shen An, but unexpectedly, a Title Douluo was backing him up.

However, no one noticed that Xiao Wu, who was standing at the very back, was trying her best to suppress her aura, and her face was already somewhat pale.

Dugu Bo arrived long before Dai Mubai made his move, but he deliberately waited for the situation to escalate so that he could do a big favor.

Therefore, they were fully aware of everything Shrek and his group had done, and Meng Shenji and the other two were merely used as pawns.

However, these three were honest and kind-hearted; they just wanted to expel Shen An, since in their view, Shen An was not a student of Tiandou, and expelling him was normal.

Pick the softest persimmon first – this is a truth that Dugu Bo has come to understand after decades of experience.

Meng Shenji and the other two are not weak in cultivation and are members of the Heavenly Dou Education Committee. Although I am not afraid of them, there is no need to offend them excessively.

Then let Shrek Academy's plan to merge with Tiandou fail. This will also be a way to vent Shen An's anger, Dugu Bo thought to himself. In the end, Shen An saved Dugu Yan and prevented her from being harmed by the deadly poison.

Although Dugu Bo was eccentric and unpredictable in his actions, he valued promises and especially gratitude. His words to Dugu Yan about going through fire and water to repay a debt of gratitude were not just empty words to coax his granddaughter.

Moreover, if possible, the deep-seated poison in his body might even be... cured!

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's originally cold heart suddenly turned hot, and he couldn't help but glance at Shen An... and the cat next to him.

When Tom saw the person who was backing them up looking at it, its cat face flashed a human-like, ingratiating smile.

'This cat looks silly, can it really cure poison?' Dugu Bo had some doubts in his heart, but then he thought, never mind, let's deal with the immediate problem first and then think about other things.

Shen An looked at Dugu Bo with a strange expression. Why did he feel that Dugu Bo paid a lot of attention to Tom? Could it be that this old man in front of him was also a cat lover?

"Shrek Academy? I've never heard of such a name before. How can such a second-rate academy be accepted into Heaven Dou Academy? I'm very worried about the future development of Heaven Dou Academy!" Dugu Bo seized the opportunity to make a fuss.

The Shrek Academy members were instantly enraged, but since the speaker was a Title Douluo, they could only suppress their anger and dared not speak out.

"Your Majesty Dugu, you don't seem to be a member of our Heavenly Dou Academy. How we recruit students shouldn't be your concern, so please don't bother with it," Meng Shenji said with a displeased expression.

"Who says Mr. Dugu isn't a member of our Heavenly Dou Academy? Mr. Dugu is my guest advisor and can represent me with full authority."

A superior voice came from above.

An elderly man of medium build, slightly overweight, and with a dignified appearance, dressed in a large brocade yellow robe, walked over.

Meng Shenji thought to himself, 'Damn it, why is he here too?'

No matter where it is, there are always factional struggles. Meng Shenji and his two companions belong to Xue Qinghe's faction, but the visitors are Prince Xue Xing, who has always been at odds with them.

Prince Xuexing was playing chess with Dugu Bo when Dugu Bo was called away by his granddaughter. Xuexing also sensed a strange fluctuation of soul power at the Education Committee, so he rushed over immediately.

The scene before him filled Xue Xing with immense joy. Even when he asked Dugu Bo for help, he had to pay a considerable price. But now, Dugu Bo had actually taken the initiative to fight against Meng Shenji and the other two.

"This is truly heaven's help," Prince Xuexing couldn't help but think.

"Mr. Dugu is absolutely right. No second-rate academy with an unknown origin can be allowed to join my Heavenly Dou Academy, lest it tarnish the reputation of my Heavenly Dou Academy."

Meng Shenji explained, "Your Highness, let me introduce you. This is Flander, the Dean of Shrek Academy, a level 78 Soul Saint. His academy has cultivated many talents, including Teacher Qin Ming. Therefore, I recruited them based on the principle of Heaven Dou Academy's thirst for talent."

Prince Xuexing remained expressionless and said coldly, "Whether someone is talented or not cannot be determined by mere words. If all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy can withstand Mr. Dugu's attacks for five minutes, I will acknowledge them as talented and allow them to join the academy."

Dugu Bo laughed and said, "That's exactly what I wanted. Let's see if you so-called talents have the courage to challenge me."

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black. Nine spirit rings spiraled upwards, their deep light inspiring awe.

Xiao Wu was trembling all over, and her eyes were bloodshot. Tang San felt heartbroken to see Xiao Wu so afraid under Dugu Bo's pressure.

He stood in front of Xiao Wu, glaring angrily at Dugu Bo: "You, as a Title Douluo, are deliberately making things difficult for us juniors. Aren't you shameless!"

Dugu Bo looked at Tang San with a cold and sinister gaze in his dark green eyes.

Tang San groaned, his whole body trembling violently. He felt as if his mind was being torn apart by a thousand knives. Xiao Wu curled up behind Tang San, not daring to show herself.

Seeing his personal disciple being targeted by Dugu Bo, Yu Xiaogang panicked and quickly stepped forward, saying, "We'll leave right now. Please, Senior Dugu Bo, show mercy."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo not only did not stop, but his eyes flashed with an eerie green light. Tang San's body had stopped trembling, and his eyes were unfocused.

Meng Shenji and the other two stood in front of Tang San at the same time, releasing a powerful aura to contend with Dugu Bo.

"Dugu Bo, you've gone too far! Using mental attacks on a child? Let the three of us old folks experience your poison!"

In the end, Dugu Bo did not fight with them. Although Prince Xuexing wanted to suppress Meng Shenji and the other two, he did not want to escalate the situation, so he mediated between them.

Flander also took the initiative to leave Tiandou Academy. Qin Ming was also indignant to see his teacher being humiliated, so he resigned from his position and left with him.

Seeing how things were developing, Shrek knew that even if he forced himself to stay, he wouldn't get away with it in the future. One Snow Star Prince and one Poison Douluo were enough to give them a hard time.

Before leaving, Flander looked at Shen An with a complicated expression. One Sword Douluo left and another Poison Douluo came. What kind of charm does this kid have that can make these big shots stand up for him?

Flanders never dreamed that the truly charismatic person who captivated the big shot wasn't Shen An, but the cat beside him.

Yu Xiaogang dragged his prized disciple away with faltering steps. The group had come in high spirits, but left like stray dogs.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Tang San's pupils, which had been unfocused, became slightly more focused. Had it not been for his powerful spiritual energy cultivated through the Purple Demon Eye, he would likely have already fainted under Dugu Bo's spiritual impact, or even suffered damage to his foundation.

Tang San felt a sense of inexplicable sorrow. Was this what it meant to be a Title Douluo? They could drive them away so easily, and even when he was injured, he could only be like a lackey, daring not to speak out.

Tang San was completely unaware that he had deliberately provoked Shen An first, otherwise there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

Tang San stared at the location of Heaven Dou Academy, a ruthless glint in his eyes: 'Dugu Bo, Shen An, the humiliation you suffered today, Tang San will repay tenfold in the future, or I swear I will not be a human being!'

At this moment, Dugu Bo revealed a smile that was more like a grimace: "So you are Shen An. Not bad, not bad. You are quite handsome. I wonder if you are married?"

Shen An was stunned. What do you mean by that?

Tom: 'Am I going to have another mistress?'

Chapter 107 Tom Becomes a Pig, Jerry Feels Jealous

Inside a cave in a mountain range, Tang Hao had completely suppressed the surge of soul power caused by Chen Xin. He exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration, his expression somewhat complicated, before letting out a cold snort.

"If it weren't for the fact that I had suffered a serious injury and had a hidden ailment, then mere sword energy would not have been able to harm me in the slightest."

After saying this, Tang Hao's tough face showed a hint of sadness. Yes, no matter what, he had hidden injuries and was like a rat in a ditch, hiding and running.

Jerry: "??? I feel offended."

The events of that year led to the sect's closure, and the number one sect in the world vanished from the continent in the blink of an eye.

Tang Hao's eyes flickered. Although he had recovered and was now able to exert about 70-80% of his combat power, he was not sure when the hidden ailment in his body would erupt.

'Can I still take care of my mistress and ensure her safe growth?' Tang Hao himself was somewhat uncertain.

'Fine, I'll go find the mistress first to protect him from being bullied. If I ever become unwell, I'll have no choice but to swallow my pride and seek my older brother's protection.'

Tang Hao's face showed pain, which then turned into a resolute expression. He then vanished from the spot as a blur.

In the small village of Shrek Academy students, Tang Hao saw that the academy, which was originally half the size of a village, was deserted, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Where did my son, who's so big, go?

-

Shen An stared blankly at Dugu Bo, wondering what he was saying.

"Senior Dugu, this is inappropriate. Miss Dugu already has someone she loves, and the two of them have a very good relationship."

Shen An said helplessly.

When he came to Tiandou Academy in the morning, Zhu Zhuqing told him to behave himself, and that's why this Poison Douluo pulled this stunt.

Shen An understood Zhu Zhuqing's feelings these days, but Zhu Zhuqing was too young, only about thirteen years old. Regardless of whether she was physically mature or not, her age was what it was.

Shen An's modern mindset wouldn't allow him to do such a thing, but he could still keep himself pure for Zhu Zhuqing until she came of age.

"That's true. It's such a pity. You saved your granddaughter's life, so it would have been right for her to repay you with her body," Dugu Bo said regretfully.

It wasn't that he was in a hurry to marry off his granddaughter, but he had just witnessed Shen An defeat Dai Mubai with a single sword strike. That was a Great Soul Venerable who was close to level 40.

With just a light, effortless sword strike, Dai Mubai was defeated and sent flying, not to mention Shen An's two limit-breaking soul rings, one yellow and one purple.

It can be said that, in Dugu Bo's view, Shen An is destined to become a Title Douluo. What is the end point for many Soul Masters in their lifetime is just the beginning for Shen An.

In other words, Dugu Bo was unaware that Tom had painted Shen An's third spirit ring. If he had discovered that Shen An's third spirit ring was at the ten-thousand-year level, Dugu Bo would probably have drugged Shen An and forced his granddaughter to consummate their relationship.

After all, this is the Douluo Continent, where the strong are respected. Who wouldn't want to find a reliable and powerful partner for their future descendants?

Seeing that Shen An had no such intention, Dugu Bo also didn't care. He acted entirely according to his own whims throughout his life, and he only mentioned it casually because he saw that Shen An had a promising future.

"You're the strange cat who saved my granddaughter." Dugu Bo looked at Tom curiously.

Tom immediately straightened his back and waved his paw as if to say that it was nothing more than a small matter.

Jerry, watching Tom's smug expression, felt inexplicably envious and made a tsk-tsk sound, as if to say, "Oh wow, how amazing."

Shen An couldn't help but chuckle as he watched from the side; these two little ones loved to compare themselves to each other.

Dugu Bo looked at Tom and Jerry in surprise. He had lived for decades and had never seen such intelligent cat and mouse before. Even those soul beasts that were seventy or eighty thousand years old might not be able to compare to them.

As for 100,000-year-old soul beasts, Dugu Bo had never seen one, but he had heard that their intelligence was comparable to that of humans.

"Young man, it's not convenient here. Come on, you saved my granddaughter, I must thank you properly, let's go have a drink."

"Hey, senior, I still need to wait for my friend."

"It's alright, the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is very safe. Come on, let's drink until we drop tonight."

Shen An was captured by Dugu Bo and disappeared from the spot. How could he possibly resist the strength of a Title Douluo?

In one of the most luxurious hotels in Tiandou City, the table was laden with delicious food, and the room, which could easily accommodate twenty or thirty people, contained only two people, a cat, and a mouse.

Whether he can finish the food or not is not important; what matters is the spectacle. He needs to emphasize how much he values ​​Shen An, Dugu Bo thought to himself.

"Come on, Shen An, let's drink." Dugu Bo raised his glass and toasted Shen An without any airs.

Shen An could only smile wryly and drink with him. Although Shen An did not like drinking, he was unwilling to refuse such a titled Douluo's hospitality.

After drinking some fine wine, Dugu Bo casually asked, "Shen An, was my granddaughter really cured by your cat, or did you use your cat's name to detoxify my granddaughter?"

“I look at this cat. Although it is incredibly agile, I really don’t believe it can cure my granddaughter’s congenital poison.”

At this moment, Jerry heard Dugu Bo praising Tom, and he took another vicious bite of the roast meat in his hand. He felt sour; hearing Tom being praised made him feel even worse than if he himself had been beaten.

As they were talking, Dugu Bo glanced at Tom, who was enjoying his meal, and suddenly noticed that most of the food on the table had disappeared.

"Wait a minute, I ordered more than four dishes, forty would be enough to eat." Dugu Bo thought he was drunk and seeing things, so he hurriedly rubbed his eyes.

But then they saw the cat regurgitating a roasted pig four or five times its own size into its belly. Despite having a mouth smaller than a palm, the entire pig slipped down into its mouth with a silky smooth motion.

Then the little cat's throat slid and immediately transformed into the shape of a pig. It then reached into its own throat and pulled out a complete pig skeleton.
