Douluo Dalu: Starting With Tom Cat

After the great impact brought by the gold soul coins, Bai Chenxiang became even more silent.

"Sister Chenxiang, he's really a great person. Why don't we go eat a good meal?"

A little companion from the Agility Clan said, wiping the uncooperative saliva from the corner of his mouth.

It really wasn't their fault for being unpromising. The Agility Clan was truly poor. They had truly never eaten fine bran.

You could tell just by looking at their figures. A family clan of several hundred people, and not a single fat person.

"No, we can't waste money," Bai Chenxiang said, stuffing the money pouch into her bosom. "Let's all go rest first. We still have to find someone this afternoon."

"The four single-attribute sects are connected. Avenging Senior Tai Tan is the proper business."

Shen An led Tom and Jerry into a hotel, directly renting the best room for a week, and instructed the front desk not to disturb him.

As for the Bai Chenxiang from before, he did not take it to heart.

It was Tom who had first taken her wallet, which had led to her predicament. Shen An had merely returned it. Thus, he was unwilling to even leave a fake name.

At present, although he didn't know why Bai Chenxiang was looking for him, if there were any grudges in the future, he would just speak with his sword.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you two," Shen An said with a smile.

Tom and Jerry changed into a set of guard uniforms, seriously saluted Shen An, and then began to walk back and forth at the door seriously.

Shen An looked at the two little ones who had gotten serious and felt slightly gratified. They look very reliable.

Then he could absorb his soul ring with peace of mind.

On the bed, Shen An casually set up a barrier with his Unrestrained soul skill to hide his aura, in case the fluctuation of his breakthrough was too great.

'System, exchange for the sixth soul ring!' Shen An recited silently in his heart.

It was just that the moment Shen An closed his eyes, Tom and Jerry, who had been patrolling seriously, immediately sat down.

The boss isn't watching anymore. What are we still pretending for?

A colorful light was born from thin air. A vast and endless stream of energy was absorbed by Shen An.

This energy simultaneously nourished Shen An's body and spirit, raising his upper limit.

At this moment, Shen An's body was surrounded by a colorful light, and the Nine Leaf Sword Grass appeared out of thin air.

What was surprising was that the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, which was originally like a magnificent treasured sword, actually vaguely transformed into a clump of green grass.

The grass had nine leaves. Between its swaying and changing, sword qi was born, dazzling and brilliant.

Time flowed bit by bit, from day to night, and from night back to day.

If someone had opened the door and seen this scene, they would surely have been too scared to speak.

The one yellow, one purple, and three black soul rings were secondary. What was most horrifying was Shen An's sixth soul ring.

Its color was scarlet red. It was already the hundred-thousand-year soul ring that everyone in the soul master world dreamed of.

But it still hadn't stopped. A little bit of golden light was condensing within it, wanting to form a golden pattern.

Another day passed. Finally, the circles of red light condensed together, transforming into a huge red halo that slowly contracted towards Shen An's body.

The original five soul rings on Shen An's body also shone brightly. The originally leaf-shaped Nine Leaf Sword Grass once again transformed into a sword shape, and an azure light instantly filled the entire room.

Shen An suddenly opened his eyes. Their color was azure-green, as vast and distant as the ancient blue sky.

On the great red soul ring, there were three golden lines. The magnificent brilliance made one feel a sense of worship.

The sixth soul ring was close to four hundred thousand years. It seemed incredible, but it was actually within reason.

Not to mention that the first five great soul rings had all broken their limits, just the Jade Bone he had absorbed when he was a Soul King had brought Shen An unimaginable benefits.

The attribute bonus of the Jade Bone was in no way inferior to a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and it also had extremely high growth potential, raising Shen An's physical fitness in all aspects.

Looking at it this way, it was also reasonable for the sixth soul ring to be nearly four hundred thousand years old.

Shen An felt the surging power in his body and then smiled. He had still been short-sighted. At this time, even if a group of Soul Douluo besieged him, what could they do?

"However, I still need to find someone to verify my strength. In that case, in a few days, I'll go fishing for a wave first."

His gaze fell to the side, on the soundly sleeping Tom and Jerry. Tom had even considerately used his own tail as a blanket to cover Jerry.

Shen An gently shook his head.

These two little ones were very reliable when it came to being unreliable.

Tiger Roar Mountain Range. This was the jurisdiction of the lower four sects' Black Tiger Sect.

Within the Black Tiger Sect, in the sect's secret land.

Led by the Sect Master Wang Wei, several Soul Sage-level elders were transporting four soul beasts with ages of over fifty thousand years and placing them on an altar.

It was just that the bodies of these Soul Sages were stained with blood. It was clear they were not lightly injured.

After all, they were all soul beasts of over fifty thousand years. Their combat power was originally comparable to a Soul Sage, and they couldn't be killed.

So even with the Soul Douluo-level Wang Wei leading, they were still not well off.

"You may all withdraw," a fiery look was in Wang Wei's eyes. He then gave another order.

"Sect Master, I don't understand. Why must we spend so much effort to capture soul beasts?" an elder emboldened himself and came forward to say.

"That's right, Sect Master. Spirit Hall has already given instructions. With this effort, wouldn't it be better for us to go and besiege that Shen An?"

Wang Wei's tiger eyes showed his might. "A bunch of things with no vision. In this sect, I am the biggest. What I say, goes."

"What does Shen An count for? He's hiding his tracks. With the vastness of the continent, where can he be found? In short, from now on, you will all hunt more ten-thousand-year and above soul beasts. This is the true opportunity for the Black Tiger Sect to rise."

"No more nonsense. Withdraw quickly."

Seeing his own Soul Sages walk away with some dissatisfaction, Wang Wei didn't care much.

Strength was the number one right to speak. He was the strongest within the Black Tiger Sect.

What's more, now, under the gift of a "god," he had touched the realm of a Titled Douluo. Naturally, he didn't care about the thoughts of his subordinates.

"We respectfully welcome Lord Evil God!"

Wang Wei, who had just been as majestic as a fierce tiger, now knelt on the ground with a thud, his head knocking heavily on the ground, like an obedient little kitty.

"Roar—"

A low roar sounded. A pure black giant tiger walked out. It was over eight meters tall, approaching nine meters. Its two eyes were scarlet red, like a demon god.

It was precisely the Dark-Devil God Tiger that Shen An had seen that day.

Wang Wei's head pressed even more tightly to the ground. As an expert who was about to touch the Titled Douluo realm, at this moment, he was like the most loyal of slaves.

The Dark-Devil God Tiger stared at Wang Wei, then immediately showed a satisfied expression.

That day when it had escaped from Star Dou, it had unexpectedly run into this person. It had originally wanted to devour this person, but it found that this person had unhesitatingly bowed his head and submitted to him.

The highly intelligent Dark-Devil God Tiger considered it for a moment, then controlled this person with its evil god power, just as a backup food supply.

'Roar—'

Another low roar. The Evil God Hook behind the Dark-Devil God Tiger's back gently lifted, actually emitting a string of distorted halos in the air.

It was a gray color full of evil qi. With the appearance of this evil qi, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped. It was the coldness belonging to evil, making one's heart tremble from within.

The Evil God Hook plunged into the body of the first white giant wolf. The originally dying giant wolf let out a mournful howl.

Its beast pupils were filled with a color of being better off dead, but under this devouring power, it had no power to resist at all.

In no time, the giant wolf's body quickly shriveled. Everything about it was completely devoured.

The Dark-Devil God Tiger repeated the trick. The remaining three soul beasts all became its nourishment.

Immediately, it let out a low roar at Wang Wei.

Wang Wei raised his head and showed a fawning smile. "Is Lord Evil God satisfied? When the injuries of the elders in the sect have recovered, this little one will go and capture more soul beasts."

The Dark-Devil God Tiger nodded lightly, and a sinister evil spiritual fluctuation was transmitted to Wang Wei.

"More, the more the better. Soul beasts, and also humans. Humans are the best supplement!!!"

A look of difficulty appeared on Wang Wei's face. Soul beasts were one thing, but humans... a large number of experts disappearing would attract the attention of the empire's side.

Seeing this, the Dark-Devil God Tiger squeezed out a drop of Evil God's blood from between its eyebrows, which floated before Wang Wei.

Looking at this drop of ultimate-evil Evil God's blood, an incomparably intoxicated look appeared in Wang Wei's eyes. Without any hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.

Behind him, an imposing black tiger silhouette condensed out and began to gradually change, actually starting to approach the appearance of the Dark-Devil God Tiger.

Wang Wei clearly felt that his soul power had made a huge leap. As long as he swallowed this kind of blood two or three more times, he would be able to advance to a Titled Douluo.

At this time, his desire for Titled Douluo had already suppressed his reason. As for what consequences, after becoming a Titled Douluo, who would dare to say he was wrong!

"Many thanks, Lord Evil God!! This little one will now offer up more sacrifices for Lord Evil God!"

Wang Wei's eyes flashed with specks of scarlet, and he kowtowed heavily.

The Dark-Devil God Tiger, having condensed the Evil God's blood, was now slightly listless. Not only had he spat out all the energy he had just absorbed, but he had also thrown in a little extra. But he didn't care.

How could he be a short-sighted tiger? Wang Wei was special. A Soul Douluo level and also a Black Tiger martial soul. He was one of the few who could withstand his evil god power.

With Wang Wei, he could grow better. When Wang Wei could no longer hunt soul beasts or people that could improve his soul power for him, at worst he would just swallow Wang Wei again.

All in all, Wang Wei might have made a bloody profit, but he, the Dark-Devil God Tiger, would never lose.

The Dark-Devil God Tiger took a step and disappeared into the darkness. Its scarlet eyes were filled with an incomparable greedy evil intent.

When his strength had improved further, that would be the day he returned to the Star Dou Great Forest to become king and hegemon. At that time, the entire forest would be his hunting ground.

Even, he suddenly remembered the little girl from that day, that silver dragon that seemed to look down upon the gods, and the male human beside her who was a peerless ingredient.

I will swallow you, I definitely will!

————

More than a month later, Shen An led Tom and Jerry into Black Tiger City.

The Douluo Continent had the three upper sects and the four lower sects. Among them, the four lower sects were all loyal supporters of Spirit Hall.

When Ning Fengzhi was parting, besides the map, he had also given Shen An a relationship map of the various factions within the Star Luo Empire.

He had even repeatedly urged Shen An not to go to the territory of the lower four sects within the Star Luo borders, among which the Black Tiger Sect was the most dangerous.

The Black Tiger Sect Master was a level eighty-eight power-attack type Soul Douluo, and there were not a few Soul Sages in the sect. If they discovered Shen An, they would surely hunt him down to the death.

And yet Shen An had still come. For no other reason than that he, who had just advanced to Soul Emperor, had become conceited and wanted to find an expert among the Soul Douluo to practice on.

The moment he stepped in, Shen An discovered something was not right. Logically speaking, a large city like Black Tiger City should be quite popular, but it seemed very deserted.

There were only a few scattered people, and their expressions were nervous. They were all commoners.

"Not right. Extremely not right," Shen An murmured to himself.

Tom and Jerry also nodded as if it were a serious matter.

Shen An continued to walk forward just like that. Suddenly, he heard the sound of crying and the tearing of clothes from his side.

"Ah! Help! Help! When my husband comes back, he will definitely not let you go!"

"Come back? You think you can come back after entering the Black Tiger Sect? Dream on! Nowadays, who isn't living from hand to mouth? Anyway, let this old one have some fun first!"

Shen An's brow furrowed slightly. His figure flashed. His speed was such that even Flander would have covered his face in shame if he saw it.

The next moment, a naked-to-the-waist man was blasted out. A mature woman with torn clothes, her ample chest half-exposed, had a face covered in tears.

Ding Hui was furious. "Who are you?! How dare you ruin this old one's good business!"

Shen An ignored him and looked at the mature woman. "Who is he? You two have no relationship, right?"

The mature woman cried, "Many thanks, sir, for your help. This person was originally my neighbor. I didn't expect that seeing my husband being taken to the Black Tiger Sect and not returning for a long time, he would actually have improper thoughts towards me."

"I ask sir to punish this person!" The mature woman covered her chest and kowtowed heavily. The clothes on her lower body were also in tatters, revealing a flash of spring scenery.

Shen An looked at Ding Hui indifferently. He was not a person with an explosive sense of justice, but since the matter had been shoved in his face, what was the harm in managing it?

Ding Hui looked at Shen An and inexplicably felt a sense of fear, but he was unwilling to show his cowardice. "You try and touch me! My older brother is an outer disciple of the Black Tiger Sect!"

Shen An sneered with contempt. As a wanted criminal now on par with Tang Hao by Spirit Hall, would he care about a Black Tiger Sect?

With a flick of his finger, an azure sword qi was unleashed. Ding Hui let out a miserable, inhuman cry, his five limbs all severed.

Shen An then looked at the mature woman gently. "May I ask why the city is so deserted?"

Seeing Ding Hui's miserable state, the mature woman's face showed both fear and a flash of pleasure.

It was just that after hearing Shen An's words, the mature woman's face turned to fear again. She hurriedly said, "Sir, the city is deserted because a few days ago, the Black Tiger Sect was wantonly capturing people. All the soul masters with high cultivation have gone and not returned."

"Later, soul masters with lower cultivation were also captured. My husband was a Soul Grandmaster. He went seven or eight days ago and has not returned to this day."

"Therefore, everyone is now in a state of panic and does not dare to go out easily. Sir, if you have the chance, it's better to leave as soon as possible. You absolutely must not be discovered by them."

"You want to leave now? It's too late. Outsider, you dare to harm people within the jurisdiction of my Black Tiger Sect? Let's go. Don't force us to make a move!"

A deep voice came.

Shen An looked up and saw three men in black, about the level of a Soul Elder, with a fierce tiger embroidered on their sleeves.

"Alright. I'll go with you. But wait a moment. I have something to take care of. It'll be quick."

As Shen An spoke, he flicked his finger again, and another stream of sword qi flew out.

Ding Hui, who had been screaming incessantly at the side, instantly couldn't make a sound. A human head then fell to the ground.

The eyelids of the three Black Tiger Sect disciples twitched. Without revealing his martial soul or soul rings, just this one move, even a Soul Ancestor might not be able to do.

"By the way, I killed the person. You are not to trouble this household," Shen An said faintly.

"Alright, sir. This way, please."

The three Black Tiger Sect disciples fawningly pointed the way for Shen An.

When Shen An had walked ahead, the three disciples looked at each other, their eyes cold.

In front of us, you are arrogant. When you get to the Black Tiger Sect, your life or death will be uncertain.
