Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

They certainly wouldn't try to compete with the ancient banyan tree; displaying the golden triangle was merely a show of force, an attempt to protect themselves.

The intention was to tell Gu Rong that they had the possibility of making a scene and protecting themselves.

Tom, who was standing nearby, saw the chubby Luo Sanpao and his eyes lit up. Wasn't this the little brother that he had beaten to a pulp the other day? He actually dared to come out again. Wasn't this provoking Tom?

Tom raised an eyebrow, ran over, grabbed Luo Sanpao's chubby face, and started squeezing and kneading it. "So, you're called Luo Sanpao, huh?"

When the chubby Luo Sanpao saw Tom, a look of horror appeared on his face. It was this cat who had beaten him up black and blue.

Koro's submissive appearance further fueled Tom's bullying nature.

Tom grinned mischievously and pinched Luo Sanpao into a long, upturned mouth shape, stretched out its ears, and then kept teasing its mouth, making a "blu-blu" sound. The terrified Luo Sanpao was powerless to resist.

Yu Xiaogang and his two companions watched helplessly as poor Luo Sanpao was manipulated by Tom, who molded him into a donkey with a pouty snout. Yu Xiaogang trembled with rage.

Without hesitation, Yu Xiaogang raised his right hand, and the three of them sent a total of sixteen spirit rings flying toward Luo Sanpao. He wanted to teach Tom a lesson with the power of Luo Sanpao evolving into a golden holy dragon.

However, the spotlight that should have fallen on Luo Sanpao was completely seized by Tom, and was beyond their control; they couldn't even take it back.

Yu Xiaogang stared at Tom in astonishment. As someone from the Corner of Wisdom, he couldn't understand the principle behind it at all, and why the virtual halo could only be caught by the cat.

Tom even started performing acrobatic hoop tossing on the spot, tossing the sixteen spirit rings into the air one by one, spinning them into a huge circle, having a great time.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Gu Rong's nine terrifying spirit rings instantly appeared, and he looked in another direction.

The enormous bone spike appeared out of nowhere, but it wasn't aimed at Yu Xiaogang and his two companions; instead, it pierced towards another location with immense force.

A black-robed figure met the sudden attack with an enormous hammer in his hand. Nine spirit rings appeared on his body, but the last one was crimson.

"boom!"

Gu Rong naturally recognized this as the Haotian Hammer, which was once famous throughout the world.

A murderous glint immediately flashed in Gu Rong's eyes. He had never had a good impression of the Haotian Sect, which was ranked higher than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

'A 100,000-year spirit ring, Tang Hao?'

Gu Rong had already heard from Chen Xin that Tang Hao had reappeared, but was suffering from hidden injuries.

If possible today, leaving it here wouldn't be out of the question. A fierce glint rose in Gu Rong's heart.

He glanced at Ning Rongrong out of the corner of his eye, but then concealed his thoughts.

He naturally wanted to try and see if he could keep Tang Hao here, but he wasn't entirely confident.

Moreover, the opposing team has a trio that is no less powerful than Contra.

If Tang Hao were to fight him, he would indeed find it difficult to protect Ning Rongrong and Shen An.

In Gu Rong's view, how could the lives of these people compare to Ning Rongrong's safety?

Tang Hao was also helpless. Just now, when he saw the cat holding the spirit ring, even he couldn't help but be moved, which is why he was discovered.

"Bone Douluo, I have no hostility towards you. I just have some connection with Shrek Academy. I hope you can let them go."

Tang Hao spoke slowly, glancing at Ning Rongrong and Shen An with a subtle threat in his eyes.

Bone Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly: "I can give you face, but you dare to bully my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It's impossible for you to let this matter go with just a few words without paying a price."

Tang Hao remained silent: "What do you want to do?"

"It's very simple. I won't use my ninth soul skill. These three will take one of my moves, and that kid with spider legs on his back will take one of Shen An's swords. That will be the end of it."

Tang Hao could tell that Gu Rong was no longer willing to back down; every Title Douluo had their own pride.

Tang Hao turned to Tang San and asked, "Are you willing?"

Tang Hao's biggest concern was the safety of his son. If Tang San said yes, he would agree; if Tang San said no, he would simply take his son and run away.

As for Yu Xiaogang and the other two, Tang Hao intended to use their strength to protect his son as he grew up, and also to have Yu Xiaogang help Tang San develop a secret for the safe cultivation of twin martial souls.

But Yu Xiaogang is too good at causing trouble. He has no skills, but he has a big temper. He first provoked Chen Xin and then Bone Douluo.

Gu Rong's offer of a single move was quite reasonable; if they couldn't accept it, they could only blame their bad luck.

Tang San looked at the black-robed man in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity, which even made him feel a sense of dependence.

This is the intuition of a father-son who is mentally over forty.

Tang San recalled Shen An's sword strike towards Dai Mubai. He believed that with his Xuan Tian Gong, he was much stronger than Dai Mubai. It was just one sword strike, and if he was prepared, he could easily catch it.

"Yes, senior, I am willing to accept this sword strike," Tang San said calmly.

"Alright, Bone Douluo, please proceed." Tang Hao said in a deep voice.

"Wait, Your Majesty Bone Douluo, could you please ask that cat to release the sixteen halos?" Yu Xiaogang said, sweating profusely.

If the halo can't be integrated, Luo Sanpao can't complete the fusion and evolution. What will he use to fight? His invincible theory?

Bone Douluo said calmly, "It's fine." As the most enigmatic of the titled Douluos, he had that much confidence.

Besides, now that Tang Hao has appeared, he can't really kill these three people, since the news will leak out.

Although they are not afraid of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, they will not make enemies without reason. Unless they have unparalleled strength, attacking anyone they see is a path to death.

Shen An nodded, signaling Tom to let go, and the sixteen spirit rings instantly merged into Luo Sanpao's body.

It transformed from a pig-donkey with a pouty snout into a majestic golden dragon. However, its snout remained pouty, and its ears were as long as a donkey's, giving it a touch of comicality amidst its majesty.

Bone Douluo attacked without hesitation, immediately using his eighth soul skill.

"Bone Dragon Prison Breaker!!"

Countless bone spikes pierced Luo Sanpao from all directions, and finally a giant bone dragon materialized and crashed into him.

Yu Xiaogang and the other two turned deathly pale, as if struck by lightning, with blood flowing from their seven orifices.

Chapter 118 The Jade Hand Shatters!

Luo Sanpao's enormous holy dragon body was pierced by countless white bones. It groaned in pain, then quickly shrank and turned into blue-purple light, returning to Yu Xiaogang's body.

However, the bone dragon did not disappear. Its body transformed into countless bone spikes that shot towards the three of them. Liu Erlong and Flander, who were standing at the front, were the first to react and stood in front of Yu Xiaogang.

A hint of mockery flashed in Gu Rong's eyes. He wasn't like Chen Xin, who was somewhat upright and would just teach you a lesson and be done with it.

These bone spurs will not endanger their lives, but they will lurk in their bodies, breaking their meridians and preventing their soul power from improving.

Warm, savory blood splattered onto Yu Xiaogang's face. Already severely injured, he collapsed to the ground in a panic, struggling to climb backward despite the filth, a stark contrast to Flander and the other man blocking his way.

In that instant, death was practically right on his face. How could a mere Great Soul Master not be afraid?

Looking at Yu Xiaogang's life, he was protected by powerful figures such as Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of him, Flander, Liu Erlong and even Bibi Dong in the back. If we're talking about flowers in a greenhouse, he was definitely one of them.

Even when helping Tang San obtain his first spirit ring, if Tang San hadn't had the Mysterious Heaven Skill and hidden weapons, the two of them would have been killed by spirit beasts, leading directly to the end.

Gu Rong didn't even glance at him. As the weakest member of the Golden Iron Triangle, he wasn't worthy of a Title Douluo stopping for him.

"Boy, you only need to accept Shen An's sword strike; you are not allowed to retaliate," Bone Douluo said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao, though prepared, was still filled with anger, followed by a sense of sorrow and powerlessness.

The son of the dignified Haotian Douluo was being bossed around, yet he could only endure it. He could hide in the gutter, but Tang San couldn't.

Tang San should stand in the sunlight to gain a larger stage and resources; following him in hiding will only hinder his cultivation progress.

If they were to provoke the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and then the Spirit Hall joins forces, the father and son would be doomed, and even the Clear Sky School, which had been in seclusion, would face annihilation.

Tang San took a deep breath, his heart filled with resentment, unable to exhale his pent-up frustration.

Why does Shen An always have a group of powerful people protecting him? Why does Shen An always make trouble for him? Even that damned cat dares to insult him.

Why is it that despite his exceptional talent, extraordinary skills, and twin martial souls, he has no titled Douluo-level powerhouses who appreciate him and are willing to stand up for him?

And why his master was just a weakling at the level of a Great Soul Master!

"Come on, let me see just how powerful you are," Tang San said in a muffled voice.

Shen An held the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass in his hand and said calmly, "We have no enmity between us, but you have come to cause me trouble time and time again. You deserve to suffer this sword. Whether you live or die, no one should blame you."

Tang San was furious upon hearing this. Shen An's words completely disregarded him. As fellow Soul Masters, who was afraid of whom?

Shen An gripped the sword in his hand, his clear black and white eyes turning azure, his mind focused on the sword in his hand.

The Azure Sword Eyes grant him not only superhuman perception and vision, but also a detached indifference akin to that of the heavens, allowing him to possess absolute calmness unaffected by emotions, his heart as clear as the moon reflected in the blue sky, able to truly reflect everything around him.

Tang San looked at Shen An, who seemed indifferent and profound, as if he were one with the surrounding world, and a great terror spread through his heart.

He pushed his Xuan Tian Gong to its limit, his Xuan Yu Hands shone brightly, and his eyes were filled with purple light. He unleashed his soul power without regard for its cost, and Blue Silver Grass grew in layers, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Shen An swung his sword in an instant, silently and without light. This sword strike combined three great soul skills into one, and the sword energy arrived suddenly.

This sword strike was so fast and sharp that even Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes could only barely make out a trace of it. The layers of Blue Silver Grass were completely cut apart, yet the sword energy did not weaken in the slightest.

"Give it your all!"

A hint of madness flashed in Tang San's eyes as he poured all his soul power into the Xuan Yu Hand!

"clang!"

A loud metallic clang rang out, and visible sparks burst forth.

"Ahhhh!"

The intense pain contorted Tang San's face; his Xuan Yu Hand had shattered!

Four fingers, as white as jade, of varying lengths, fell to the ground. Without the support of soul power, the fingers quickly lost their jade color, and bright red blood seeped out, making them look extremely gruesome.

The sword energy persisted relentlessly, relentlessly destroying the meridians in Tang San's arms through his wounds.

Tang Hao's expression changed drastically, and a terrifying and domineering aura swept across the entire area. He instantly appeared beside Tang San, swung his hammer, and precisely shattered the powerful and sharp sword energy.

You deserve to die!!!

An incomparably terrifying aura rushed towards Shen An, and Gu Rong's figure trembled as she stood in front of Shen An.

The power of this sword made Gu Rong sigh. Not to mention Tang San, a Soul Master, even a non-defensive Soul King would die if he encountered it.

He just didn't understand why Tang Hao was so angry, as if his son had died, after the boy with the external soul bone was injured.

At this moment, Gu Rong naturally had no idea that the person with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was Tang Hao's biological son.

Tang Hao's face was shrouded in a black robe, but Shen An could still sense a pair of angry eyes staring intently at him.

Tom and Jerry rushed to Shen An's side. "So what if he has a hammer? How dare he bully Shen An? My hammer might not be light enough!"

"Don't go too far. You agreed to this competition yourself. If you're not as skilled as others, don't blame them."

"My hand! My meridians! It hurts! It hurts so much!" Tang San's face was flushed, his heart filled with resentment and fear. His Xuan Yu hand was broken, and four of his finger bones were severed. How could he ever reach the pinnacle of Soul Masters again?

Tang Hao's black robes fluttered without wind, and the Haotian Hammer in his hand gleamed with a domineering black light. His desire to kill Shen An reached its peak.

"Take him away now and find a healing-type Soul Master to treat him; there's still a chance he'll recover."

“Otherwise, you can try to kill this kid under my most mysterious protection, as one of the titled Douluo.” Gu Rong said calmly, showing no fear.

Tom and Jerry also glared at Tang Hao, and a hammer and a wooden hammer quietly appeared in their hands respectively.

Tang Hao said angrily, "What a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what a Bone Douluo! I will remember what happened today. We'll meet again another day."

Ignoring Yu Xiaogang and the other two, Tang Hao absorbed Tang San's fallen finger bone into his hand, grabbed the screaming Tang San, and with a surge of soul power, left the spot.

He urgently needed to find a healing-type Soul Master to stabilize Tang San's injuries. This sword energy was extremely sharp, unlike anything he had ever seen before. In terms of quality alone, even Chen Xin's Seven Kill Sword might not be able to match it.

If even the healing soul master cannot repair it, then he will have no choice but to take his son to that place.

Chapter 119 Tuffy's Armory

Flander watched Tang Hao walk away and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty Bone Douluo, what about us?"

"Let's go. I keep my word. After this one move, I'll let bygones be bygones."

Flander and Liu Erlong, enduring their injuries, grabbed the terrified Yu Xiaogang and left the spot. They dared not linger for a moment, fearing that Gu Rong would change his mind.

Looking at the disappearing trio, Gu Rong felt a little regretful. It was a pity; if Tang Hao hadn't been unable to stop them, he would have really wanted to wipe them all out.

"Thank you very much, Senior Gu Rong." Shen An thanked Gu Rong. If it weren't for Gu Rong, Superman Tom would probably have been brought out today.

Tom Cruise is his last resort; he would never use it unless his life was in danger.

"Haha, you're too kind, Shen An. I, Gu Rong, will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. This is nothing."

"Rongrong, we've obtained the spirit ring and the trouble is over. Why don't we go back to the sect?" Gu Rong was all smiles now, completely devoid of the domineering and arrogant attitude he had just displayed.
