Douluo Continent: Starting with a Tom Cat

But when it comes to everything in the human world, he believes he has reached the pinnacle, including swordsmanship, and even Chenxin's father is no match for him.

Now that he has lost to a cat, it's hard for him not to wonder why.

What could possibly surpass him, standing at the pinnacle of worldly power? Qian Daoliu thought, perhaps only a god.

······

Tang Hao, who appeared like a shadow of terror, had arrived at Shrek Academy. The appearance of Qian Daoliu filled him with fear, as he was afraid that this old man had come to cause him trouble because of Qian Xunji.

Of course, Tang Hao could never have imagined that Qian Daoliu was simply restless and wanted to see who his granddaughter was praising, not that he was there for him.

This is the hatred of someone who killed their son. Tang Hao put himself in their shoes and thought that if anyone dared to kill his son, he would kill their entire family.

Ignoring his own injuries, Tang Hao only wanted to take his son and the top-tier supplies he had prepared for him with him.

As soon as Tang San and Xiao Wu opened their eyes, they saw a burly man grab them and take them away.

Tang San was alright; he knew it was his father, and there must be a reason, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale. This was a Title Douluo with nine spirit rings! Wasn't it obvious why he wanted to capture her? She couldn't understand how she had been exposed.

Tang Hao's arrival was fleeting.

Flanders, Liu Erlong, and the others only sensed an extremely terrifying aura before realizing that their two students had disappeared.

When Flander saw the pool of blood in Xiaowu's dormitory, his eyes darkened further.

Having dealt with Tang Hao before, he was naturally familiar with this as Tang Hao's doing. But why was he running away in such a hurry in the middle of the night?

Qian Daoliu left, bowing respectfully to Tom before departing, muttering something like, "Great deity, I am an angel god's servant, thank you for your guidance."

Meanwhile, Shen An took Tom home, where Ning Rongrong opened the door.

Ning Rongrong was shocked to see Shen An with a bruised and swollen face: "Shen An, were you beaten up?"

Shen An paused for a moment, then gave a vague reply, only saying that he had met a master who saw his extraordinary talent and wanted to give him guidance.

Actually, being knocked down was secondary. These injuries were from his fight with Qian Daoliu. Although he didn't know why, Shen An always felt that Qian Daoliu had no ill intentions towards him, but he just wanted to hit him.

Shen An, of course, had no idea that his granddaughter's praise and completely unusual behavior had provoked his grandfather's temper.

Shen An didn't mention Tang Hao's matter; there was no point in talking about it anyway. Rather than having the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School help him solve his troubles, it was better for him to use the system items himself.

Anyway, Shen An had made up his mind that if he encountered Tang Hao again, he would start with the kung fu headband.

Chapter 174 Sword Challenge to Shrek

Tang Hao traveled an unknown distance before finally bringing Tang San and Xiao Wu into a mountain cave.

As soon as he threw the two men to the ground, Tang Hao coughed up a mouthful of thick, black blood.

How could Qian Daoliu's attack be so easily countered, let alone his ninth soul skill, which was to be broken head-on?

The difference between level 99 and level 96 is far greater than the difference between a Soul Saint and a Title Douluo, let alone Tang Hao's body, which is already riddled with hidden injuries.

Tang Hao's burly body swayed precariously, and he collapsed to the ground in Tang San's shocked gaze.

Xiao Wu's eyes were dark and a murderous intent was stirring in her heart. This Title Douluo seemed to be seriously injured, so did she have a chance to kill him?

"Dad, what's wrong?" Tang San quickly helped Tang Hao up and tried to treat him with the Xuan Tian Gong.

But Tang San's words plunged Xiao Wu into an ice cellar. That man was her third brother's father, so wasn't she under constant surveillance, like a naked, fat sheep in the hunter's eyes?

She certainly knew how tempting a 100,000-year-old spirit ring and spirit bone were to humans.

An incredibly chilling coldness spread through her body. She wanted to run as far away as possible, preferably back to the Star Dou Great Forest, where only Da Ming and Er Ming could protect her.

The next day, at noon.

"Shrek Academy dares to call itself a high-level soul master academy? Such a large academy, doesn't it even have someone who can withstand a single sword strike from me?"

"If none of these work, let Tang San come. Otherwise, no one will be able to leave here today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen An pointed his fingers like a sword and gently slashed across the surface, revealing a crack that emitted a sharp sword aura.

Behind Shen An stood an old man with black hair, dressed in a gray robe, standing like a javelin, seemingly unreal.

Tom stood to the side holding a flagpole. The flag read, "Shrek Academy has many mediocre teachers, poor teaching methods, and its students are all useless."

Shrek Academy is located inside Heaven Dou City, so there are naturally many pedestrians coming and going. At this moment, they all gathered around as if to watch the excitement.

Tailong, who originally intended to teach Shen An a lesson, was now bleeding profusely. Jiangzhu treated him from the side while looking at Shen An with awe.

Tailong was the eighth person to challenge Shen An, but he still lost.

Tailong stared at Shen An in horror. He never imagined that, even though they were both at the Soul Venerable stage, the difference between them could be so vast.

The boy in front of me didn't even manifest his spirit rings or release his spirit skills, yet he was defeated with just one sword strike.

"Don't be too smug. If Third Young Master hadn't disappeared last night, beating you would have been a piece of cake," Tyrone said, enduring the excruciating pain with resentment.

Tailong never imagined that Tang San, whom he admired, had long been defeated by Shen An.

"Tang San has disappeared?"

Shen An looked at the unfriendly Shrek Academy members in front of him and said with some regret.

"What a waste that Tang Hao is called Haotian Douluo! He should just be called Tang Paopao (Tang the Runner). He even brings his whole family with him when he runs away. How professional!" Shen An thought to himself.

Shen An has never been a very generous person, which is similar to Tom.

Since Tang Hao wanted to kill him, he naturally wanted to retaliate. So early in the morning, Shen An arrived at Shrek Academy, intending to kill the protagonist Tang San to add to the excitement.

He wanted to see if the protagonist of destiny was truly immortal, or if he would be resurrected after death.

So Shen An deliberately brought Tom to cause trouble early in the morning, just in time to kill Tang San without hesitation when Tang San appeared.

If Tang Hao were to reappear, he would immediately have Tom use the Kung Fu Headband as a starting move, letting him experience the power of Chinese Kung Fu.

To this end, he even specially invited Dugu Bo to keep things under control, just to prevent Flander and others from shamelessly attacking him.

Dugu Bo was very loyal. When he heard that Shen An wanted to ask him to keep order, he agreed without even asking why or if it was right or wrong.

"Shen An, you've gone too far," Flander said, forcing himself to speak.

"I am not acting recklessly, I am just stating the facts. If you are not convinced, you are welcome to have your students come forward to fight me. If they can withstand one of my sword strikes, I will admit defeat."

Flander glanced at his many students and found that they all had their heads bowed.

He wanted to summon Dai Mubai, the strongest fighter in the academy at present.

However, after that battle, Dai Mubai's left cheek was almost disfigured, and he dared not see anyone, let alone face Shen An.

At this moment, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. The longer Shen An blocked the door, the more face Shrek Academy would lose.

He could ask Dugu Bo to expel him, but he dared not, not only because it sounded bad for a Soul Saint to fight a Soul Venerable, but also because Dugu Bo's existence made him dare not overstep his bounds.

Flander looked at Yu Xiaogang behind him, hoping that his old friend could use his extraordinary wisdom to solve the current problem.

Flander was disappointed. Yu Xiaogang deliberately avoided looking at Flander, lowering his head and refusing to look at him. What could he do but talk back?

While he could certainly invoke the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, couldn't Shen An also invoke the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?

"So what do you want?" Flanders said, his tone blustering but his voice betraying his fear.

Shen An smiled. What he wanted was to kill Tang San, but since Tang San was not there, he naturally had no desires.

However, looking at his rapidly rising popularity and the ever-growing crowd, Shen An was also pleased. Every cloud has a silver lining.

Shrek Academy's predecessor, Blue Tyrant Academy, had been established in Tiandou City for a long time and even achieved a top-eight finish in the previous Soul Master Competition, making it quite famous.

Shen An's move undoubtedly turned the reputation of Blue Tyrant Academy over the years into his own resources.

"I just wanted to see Tang San, but since he's avoiding me, no one should be allowed to enter or leave Shrek Academy today."

Flanders fell silent, his face turning ashen.

The students of Shrek Academy were terrified. A young Soul Master had blocked the door in public, and not only could no student withstand his sword strike, but even their own teachers dared not speak out in anger.

This made them wonder if they had come to the wrong college, and some even considered dropping out.

How embarrassing! How can I possibly say I went to Shrek Academy when my neighbors ask me where I go to school?

They were being bullied to the point of being forced to their doorstep, and their own superiors couldn't utter a single word.

With the arrival of the city guards, they would definitely have to step in and stop this behavior. Just as the Shrek Academy members were starting to have hope, Shen An threw out a token, and the soldiers immediately scattered.

Who dares to criticize the Crown Prince's men?

As night fell, Shen An left with a cold laugh.

Seeing Shen An and the others disappear, Liu Erlong smashed the sword marks that Shen An had left on the ground, feeling utterly humiliated.

"Shen An, does this Tang San have a grudge against you?" Dugu Bo hadn't asked when there were many people around, but now that it was just the few of them, he was naturally curious.

"More or less, he's the kind of person I want to kill."

“I see. Haha, since it’s the person you want to kill, if I run into him in the future, I’ll send you his head,” Dugu Bo said immediately.

Chapter 175 Shouldn't the challenge be one-on-one?

A few days later, at dawn.

Tom and Jerry, no longer grumpy in the morning, started getting ready in front of the mirror early.

The two little ones moved in unison, combing their hair in the middle and applying Stamina cream.

However, one of Tom's hairs was unusually stubborn, and Tom tried to pry it off with his hands for a long time but couldn't. Then Tom stuck out his tongue and licked his two paws, but still couldn't get it off.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Jerry next to him. On a whim, he grabbed Jerry and started hitting it on his own head, successfully knocking down the bristling hair.

Then he curled his tail into a big curl and sprayed himself with perfume as if it were free.

Jerry was hit so hard he saw stars, then glared at Tom with a menacing look in his eyes.

Seeing this, Tom handed over the remaining half bottle of perfume, and Jerry's expression softened. He then used the remaining half bottle for himself.

"Cough cough cough, what's that pungent smell?"

"Tom Jerry, he's only been to a party. Even if he's going to be acting, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

Looking at the bottles and jars in front of Tom and Jerry, and their exquisite designs, Shen An said with a hint of helplessness.

Today marks the start of the aristocratic feast.

Shen An had been invited by Tang Yuehua two days prior, and Tom and Jerry would be the final performers, which is why the two little ones dressed up like this.

Tom and Jerry just laughed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

"Alright, alright, I know it's been too long since I've been on stage, so I'll do my best today," Shen An said with a smile.

"But you two better not cause any trouble later," Shen An added, still worried.

The two little ones nodded in unison, patting their chests loudly.

However, they weren't taking pictures of themselves, but of each other.

As we all know, Tom's strength is far greater than Jerry's in his normal state, and then Jerry was sent flying by Tom's slap.

The two little ones started another chaotic tussle, while Shen An pulled the two girls to hide outside the window and watch the collapsing house.

Oh well, why bother? They'll be fixed eventually. Shen An comforted himself.

Shen An was also looking forward to this aristocratic feast. His previous trouble at Shrek Academy had greatly increased his fame points, which had now reached a staggering one million.

If the aristocratic feast can bring him a considerable amount of fame points, he will soon be able to advance to the Soul Master level.

Shen An had a premonition that the system might undergo some changes after he was promoted to Soul Master.

At this moment, Xue Qinghe in the palace looked at her wardrobe and silently worried about which outfit would look good.

In the past, she never had any worries about choosing clothes. As the Crown Prince of Tiandou, she always presented herself as gentle and generous.

But today is a grand banquet for nobles, and all the famous nobles of Tiandou will be here, so she must treat them with great respect.

Of course, she also had some secret thoughts in her mind, namely that Shen An would also be present.

After much deliberation, Xue Qinghe chose a gorgeous dress with a moon-white base and gold trim. Before leaving, she glanced at the roses in the vase.

Instead of bringing it to Xueke as she had said, she kept it quietly.

"Strange, although I've taken great care of it, why doesn't this rose show any signs of wilting?" Xue Qinghe said curiously.

Although she instructed the palace maids to take good care of the bouquet of roses, it was absurd that they did not wither for seven or eight days.
