Douluo Dalu: Starting With Tom Cat-Chapter 281: Undercover in Spirit Hall, Saving Private Xue Qinghe

The moment Zhao Zhong said this, Shen An instantly couldn’t hold back his laughter.

What other masters? It was clearly the fight scene between Tom and Jerry.

Song Ming and Ji Qing, who were entangled together like two knotted threads, had embarrassed looks on their faces.

They had never dreamed that the two of them, two Soul Ancestors, would be unable to control a fight between a cat and a mouse.

As expected, a continuously phantom-like ball came towards the crowd from not far away. In the phantom, there was the sound of knives, the sound of guns, the sound of heads being cracked open...

Zhao Zhong’s Adam’s apple couldn’t help but slide. Even with his Soul Douluo’s eyes, he couldn’t see the movements of these two clearly. What kind of monsters were these?

"Shen An, why don’t you stop them? I think it looks like a cat’s life is about to be lost."

Ye Lingling spoke weakly. She could clearly see that only a bruised and swollen cat head was weakly sticking out, only to be grabbed back by Jerry’s small hand.

"Ah? Me?"

Hearing the miserable cries inside, Shen An’s face twitched. This was clearly a fight that had gotten out of hand. If he went up at this time, could he really stop it?

To be honest, even if Shen An were to go and fight a Titled Douluo, he wouldn’t hesitate. But if it was to stop a cat and a mouse that had gotten carried away...

This would be a very challenging task.

"Both of you, stop!"

Shen An gritted his teeth and directly pounced in. After a long while, a bruised and swollen Shen An came out, carrying the two unconvinced little ones.

This was the first time Ye Lingling had seen Shen An in such a shabby state. With a "pfft," she directly burst out laughing.

A beautiful Begonia flower bloomed in her hand. One after another, petal-shaped white lights floated onto Shen An’s face, but they had no effect at all on these injuries.

Ye Lingling instantly felt a little embarrassed and directly turned the soul power release power to the maximum.

And this was also the power of the Nine Heart Begonia. No matter how many soul rings there were, there was only one soul skill, and that was healing.

The soul power that an ordinary soul ring could input was limited, but the Nine Heart Begonia did not have this limit. The degree of healing depended entirely on the soul power, which was why it was hailed as a "miracle among martial souls."

However, facing the injuries caused by Tom and Jerry, it was of no damn use.

"Ye Lingling, no need. I’m fine. Just putting some ice on it will be fine," Shen An said, feeling the gentle and comfortable energy.

Ye Lingling was naturally still not convinced. The light in her hand did not stop. The Nine Heart Begonia couldn’t cure poison, but its healing was top-notch.

Then, Ye Lingling became autistic. A mere superficial wound, and she actually couldn’t cure it. She silently hid to the side, emo.

Tom and Jerry, being held by Shen An, looked at each other. What’s the big deal? Just put some ice on it, and it’ll be fine.

However, Jerry’s nose suddenly twitched. It seemed to have smelled some scent on Shen An. It suddenly cried out.

’Could it be that Jerry has discovered that ball of black qi?’ Shen An’s heart moved, and he released the two little ones.

The two little ones immediately took out various tools to give Shen An a check-up, then helplessly shook their heads.

Tom also became serious and gestured something to Shen An.

"You’re saying there’s an unknown energy on my body, but you two can’t find it? But this energy is not harmful for now."

But this was not a good phenomenon after all. Tom was so anxious he walked back and forth on the spot. This was not a good sign.

Suddenly, a golden lightbulb suddenly lit up in the dark night. It had an idea.

The experienced Shen An’s hand was quick and his eyes were sharp. He took down the lightbulb, delighted to have a product of refining the fake into reality.

A never-extinguishing golden lightbulb.

...

The next day, the moonlight was faint.

But the inside of the carriage was a sheet of brightness. Shen An had installed the lightbulb he had taken from Tom’s imagination on the ceiling of the carriage. It was very bright and did not require any energy.

Shen An sat cross-legged in the carriage, his two eyes closed, his soul power circulating. A strange perspective was clearly reflected in his mind.

He saw his own body. It was the kind of seeing that could penetrate the flesh and see the various meridians, the five organs and six viscera, and other secret places. It was called the state of internal viewing.

And this was Tom’s method. If they couldn’t find it, wouldn’t it be fine to let Shen An find it himself?

Tom had, after all, used a kung fu headband before. If he thought carefully, he could still recall some martial arts knowledge. It was just that this cat was usually lazy, afraid that if he said it, he would become a tool cat, so he had been silent all along.

Through the martial arts theory taught by Tom, Shen An successfully looked inward. He carefully investigated but found nothing.

If it’s not inside the body, then it’s outside the body. Perhaps this is a power on the soul level, Shen An’s thoughts turned.

But how could one look directly at the soul? Shen An thought hard but could not get it. After all, he couldn’t do what Tom and Jerry did and have his soul leave his body. At most, he could use a spiritual attack.

I have it!

If there’s something closest to the soul, that would naturally be the eyes.

The moment the thought arose, six magnificent soul rings floated outside his body. The third soul ring shone with great brilliance.

The Azure Sword Pupils were opened to their limit. And then, looking at himself with the method of internal viewing, Shen An seemed to see a black qi wrapped around his body.

"Hoo~"

Shen An opened his eyes, his gaze brilliant. He had seen it, and at the same time, he knew that this was just an imprint and would not threaten him.

Its only function was as a mark. Within a certain range, his position could be sensed.

It could be eliminated, but there was no need. This power seemed to be a dead thing, which meant that the master of the power was either in a deep sleep or had already died.

Shen An keenly realized that this was a good opportunity. The level of this power was very high. Perhaps he could learn something from it.

...

The journey was originally very boring. But fortunately, along the way, he was learning medical theory from Tom, so time passed quite quickly.

And Ye Lingling, after learning from Zhao Zhong that Shen An had killed that evil soul master, her gaze towards Shen An was very complicated.

The great enemy she had been longing to face had actually been casually killed by someone else. It really gave a feeling of being happy yet also powerless.

Looking at this Shen An who was listening to Tom’s medical theory with her, Ye Lingling became more and more dazed. She always felt that in the future, the entire continent would be shocked by him.

Time flew by, and soon more than a month had passed.

The area occupied by the Star Dou Great Forest was very large, almost equivalent to a kingdom, so the journey was also extremely long.

Just when Ye Lingling thought that such days would last for a long time, Shen An suddenly said he wanted to say goodbye.

"Shen An, are you not coming with us anymore?" Ye Lingling asked with some reluctance. For these one or two months, she had basically been with Shen An day and night, studying medicine together.

This had even become the happiest time for Ye Lingling. Every day, she could clearly feel the growth of her knowledge, and without deliberately cultivating, her soul power had actually naturally broken through a level.

Shen An looked at the Spirit Hall in the distance and shook his head. "No. I still have things to do. It just so happens that the next part of the road is completely the outer periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest. With Senior Zhao’s strength, you will all be very safe."

Seeing that Shen An had already made up his mind to leave, Ye Lingling did not say more.

Zhao Zhong, on the other hand, laughed heartily. "There is no feast in the world that does not end. This old one looks forward to the day we meet again, little brother Shen."

The two tool-people, Song Ming and Ji Qing, also came forward to say goodbye. Their feelings for Shen An were complicated.

From jealousy and envy at the beginning to sincere admiration now, in this past month, when they had mustered the courage to ask Shen An about his cultivation method, Shen An had also not been stingy in his teaching, which had allowed them to also make remarkable progress.

"Remember, I still owe you a favor. You must remember to find me," Ye Lingling suddenly came before Shen An and said silently.

Seeing Ye Lingling’s reluctant appearance, Shen An teased, "I’m not going to look for you. I’ve been in the same carriage with a certain someone for over a month, yet I haven’t seen her true face. It really makes me sad."

"I treat you like a real brother, but you treat me like a cousin."

Ye Lingling stomped her foot angrily, as if she had made up her mind. She suddenly said again, "The next time you see me, I will take off my veil."

After speaking, she ran away as if fleeing.

Shen An nodded with some lack of understanding. He suddenly turned his head to look at Tom and Jerry. "This girl isn’t playing some cheesy novel trope like, ’if you take off my veil, you either have to die or marry me,’ right?"

Tom and Jerry shrugged. How could the two of them understand these things of human society?

The horse trotted along at a leisurely pace. After watching Ye Lingling and the others leave, Shen An’s gaze moved to the distance.

There was the location of Spirit City. Originally, Shen An had wanted to go to the Heaven Dou Empire first to revisit old places, but he was really worried about Xue Qinghe, so he prepared to sneak into Spirit Hall to search.

"Help me with a disguise first. Tom, paint my soul rings with some color for me, and then draw three more out."

"By the way, Jerry, you two should also disguise yourselves. This time when we enter Spirit City to find Xue Qinghe, we should try our best not to have our identities discovered by Bibi Dong and the others," Shen An added.

Soon, after the two little ones had been busy for a while, Shen An’s appearance seemed to have changed into another person.

The soul rings on his body even presented the configuration of a Titled Douluo: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black.

He said it was to sneak in, but in reality, Shen An wanted to use Tom and Jerry’s god-like painting skills to change his face and walk in openly with the excuse of surrendering.

A Titled Douluo-level expert, Spirit Hall would surely not refuse. However, there would definitely be a test.

But Shen An was not worried. Although the extra soul rings on him were painted, his strength was real.

Walking to the majestic Spirit City gate, someone at the gate conducted a routine interrogation.

"Who are you? What are you doing in Spirit City?"

Shen An, whose face had now greatly changed, said indifferently, "I have long heard of Spirit Hall’s great name. I have come this time wanting to join Spirit Hall."

The city gate guard suddenly laughed. "Brother, this is Spirit City. It’s Spirit Hall, and also the holy land for all soul masters on the continent. To be like you is not in line with the rules."

"To want to work in Spirit Hall in Spirit City, you have to be at least at the level of a Holy Temple Warrior, and also have very deep qualifications."

"You... go back to where you came from. If your strength is not bad, go to the city where you were born, first register to join our Spirit Hall, and then endure for another ten years. Maybe you’ll have a chance to come here."

After the words fell, this guard proudly pointed at the ancient city behind him, his appearance very proud.

It was not easy for an outside soul master to want to join Spirit City. It was only someone like him, who was born in Spirit City, who could live here for a long time. Plus, with his not-so-weak strength, he could become a guard.

Shen An stroked his chin. "Experience is too difficult. I really don’t have it. But strength... coincidentally, I still have a bit of this."

The guard was getting impatient. "I’ve already said, to want to come to the Holy City, you have to have both experience and strength. No one is an exception."

Shen An then smiled. His nine great soul rings were instantly released, emitting a dazzling light. The terrifying aura made everyone present can’t help but have their breathing stagnate, their bodies stiff.

As a guard of Spirit City, this guard’s strength was naturally not weak and had already reached the Soul King level.

But he still felt it was difficult to move under Shen An’s aura.

The aura that had been pressing down from all directions suddenly disappeared. Shen An said with a smile, "I wonder if you can make an exception now? If Your Excellency cannot make the decision, please help me find someone who can."

The city gate guard hurriedly nodded. In almost an instant, his martial soul possessed him, and without looking back, he ran towards the direction of the Pope’s Hall.

"Let me in quickly! I have to report to Her Majesty the Pope!"

"What’s the hurry? How did I teach you usually? You are at least the face of Spirit Hall. Don’t panic when you encounter things."

The calm-in-the-face-of-trouble Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan, heard the commotion and walked out leisurely.

The guard immediately lowered his head. This was a Titled Douluo engraved on the Pope’s decree. How could he not recognize him?

At the same time, his heart was filled with admiration. As expected of a Titled Douluo. It’s as if he can remain calm even if the sky falls.

The guard was no longer anxious. He saluted and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, Chrysanthemum Douluo, there is a Titled Douluo outside the city who says he wants to join our Spirit Hall."

"Such an important matter, and you didn’t say so earlier!!!"

Yue Guan was first shocked, then said angrily. A powerful soul power leaked out, and the guard was immediately sent flying.

The guard...

Yue Guan also unhesitatingly turned and walked in. As an elder of Spirit Hall, all the guards knew him. Naturally, they would not make a move to block him.

Of course, they also couldn’t stop the Titled Douluo-level Yue Guan.

In just an instant, Yue Guan had arrived at the main discussion hall of the Pope’s Hall.

"Your Majesty the Pope, I have an important matter to report!!!"

At this time, Bibi Dong was in her secret chamber, cultivating in seclusion. But with her strength, a mere secret chamber naturally could not obstruct her hearing.

She stood up with a flash, and appeared out of thin air on the Pope’s throne in the discussion hall. Bibi Dong did not say a word, just sat down leisurely.

Yue Guan was so anxious he was spinning in circles, wanting to speak, but without Bibi Dong’s permission, he did not dare.

Finally, Bibi Dong was seated. She said with some displeasure, "Yue Guan, you are at least an elder of Spirit Hall. To be so flustered like this, what a disgrace. Speak, what is it?"

Yue Guan was no longer anxious. He thought to himself, The Pope is the Pope. Just this state of mind of not being alarmed even if the sky falls, who can compare?

"What Your Majesty the Pope said is extremely right. This has taught me another lesson today," Yue Guan first gave a compliment, then said, "Reporting to Your Majesty the Pope, according to the city gate guard, there is an unknown Titled Douluo who has come and wants to join our Spirit Hall. What do you think should be done about this?"

The hand Bibi Dong was holding the scepter with instantly tightened. She was soon furious. "Such an important matter, and you didn’t say so earlier!!!"

The powerful soul power fluctuation made even the level ninety-five Yue Guan’s face turn pale.

What level has Her Majesty the Pope’s cultivation reached? The Second Priest has not yet given me such pressure. Could it be that she is already on par with the Great Priest???

Yue Guan was extremely shocked in his heart. He knew that the current Pope’s age was not even fifty. Such a talent was something that even Tang Hao could not match.

"Quick, follow me to see him," the moment Bibi Dong’s voice fell, her entire person flashed away. Yue Guan also closely followed behind.

A Titled Douluo-level combat power was an extremely strong assistance even for the great and prosperous Spirit Hall.
