Douluo Dalu: Starting With Tom Cat

The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was crystal-clear and emerald green, emitting strands of radiant sword energy. As Shen An stepped forward, the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass instantly materialized in his hand.

With the long sword in hand, Shen An exuded an unstoppable aura, making Tang San and the others feel a sense of dread.

Even before the battle began, they were already feeling three points of fear!

Ning Rongrong, seeing Shen An's dazzling presence, couldn't help but marvel in her heart:

"Why is he so handsome?! Even when Grandpa Jian wielded his sword, I never felt this way!"

Tang San, however, was more focused.

From Shen An, he could sense sword intent, a concept that only the top sword masters from his previous life could grasp.

Tang San gritted his teeth and said,

"Now that he's recalled his sword, he's lost his aerial advantage. The four of us together should be able to defeat him."

Xiao Wu and the others nodded, forming a surrounding formation as they charged at Shen An.

Shen An chuckled.

Ever since he broke through to Soul Grandmaster, he had realized that naming his martial soul "Nine-Leaf Sword Grass" was absolutely fitting.

Originally, he had chosen the name simply because the sword had nine leaf-like patterns.

But after advancing to Soul Grandaster, he discovered something unique…

Sweeping his brilliant gaze over the four who were trying to surround him, he suddenly scoffed:

"A bunch of weeds, a perverted tiger, a wild rabbit, and a country chicken… Is this all Shrek Academy has to offer? Come at me together. Don't waste my time."

Ning Rongrong, who had just been admiring Shen An, was suddenly infuriated.

She stomped her foot, grumbling in her heart:

"You bastard! I'm part of Shrek too! Don't lump me in with them!"

Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing's expression also turned sour. Shen An's taunt didn't even differentiate between friend and foe.

Meanwhile, Tom was sweating nervously:

"So many people... Can Shen An really handle this? This great emperor is very worried!"

Hearing Shen An's mockery, Ma Hongjun's anger erupted.

With his martial soul inherently flawed, he was already sensitive to insults. Now, his Evil Fire could no longer be suppressed!

His two yellow soul rings suddenly lit up, and without considering soul power consumption, he launched two powerful soul skills:

"Bathing Phoenix! Phoenix Fire Line!"

A purple flame, carrying terrifying heat, roared toward Shen An.

At the same time, the other three seized the opportunity to attack!

Xiao Wu & Dai Mubai: Flanking from both sides, relying on their Beast Martial Souls' raw physical strength for close combat. Tang San: Activating Purple Demon Eye, stealthily sending Blue Silver Grass underground to bind Shen An while unleashing hidden weapons in unpredictable trajectories.

The Shrek Four Freaks were going all out against a single opponent of the same age—a shocking sight!

Few could comprehend just how terrifying their combined attack was.

Each of them was an undisputed genius, yet they had to work together to fight Shen An!

Facing the incoming onslaught, Shen An's soul power surged, causing his body to emit a resonating sword hum.

His mighty soul power infused into the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, making his yellow and purple soul rings light up simultaneously!

As the soul rings fused with his sword, two of the nine leaf-like patterns suddenly glowed, and another sword materialized in Shen An's hand—identical in color but translucent like an illusion.

A sword with form but no substance.

Shen An had named it: "Nine-Leaf Phantom Sword."

As his cultivation increased, so too would the number of Phantom Swords he could summon—eventually reaching an unfathomable level

With dual swords in play, Shen An split his focus:

The Phantom Sword soared into the air, circling above him like a green dragon, effortlessly knocking down all of Tang San's hidden weapons.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

A crisp sound rang out as countless hidden weapons fell to the ground.

Next, the Phantom Sword clashed directly with Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Fire Line!

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion erupted as boundless sword energy clashed with searing flames!

Ma Hongjun's expression changed drastically—his Phoenix Fire Line was actually being pushed back?!

"Impossible!"

This was his strongest flame, further enhanced by Bathing Phoenix—yet it was still losing ground?!

What kind of monster was Shen An?!

...

Meanwhile, Shen An faced off against Dai Mubai and Xiao Wu.

His attacks had no fancy techniques, yet each strike directly targeted their weaknesses. The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass was so sharp that every time they tried to block, their instincts screamed in warning:

"DANGER! IF YOU BLOCK, YOU DIE!"

Shen An's swordplay was basic, but his speed was like a storm, and his precision was flawless.

The Shrek Four Freaks were completely overwhelmed!

Tang San clenched his fists.

"We can't keep fighting like this… We have to break this stalemate!"

"Ma Hongjun! Hold off the flying sword! I'll help Dai Mubai!"

Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth:

"Damn it! Fine! I'll trust you this time! You better take that guy down!"

He poured all his soul power into flames, latching onto the Phantom Sword, enduring searing pain.

"AHHH! THIS HURTS!"

Meanwhile, Tang San activated Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, weaving through Shen An's defenses, unleashing endless hidden weapons!

But Shen An simply sliced through everything, destroying every hidden weapon with pure sword energy.

If Shen An had wanted, Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai would have been crippled by now.

Still, he didn't hold back completely—his speed increased, and with a single thrust, he pierced Xiao Wu's shoulder!

"Ahhh!" Xiao Wu screamed as sword energy tore through her meridians.

Next, Shen An unleashed a crescent-shaped sword slash, striking Dai Mubai directly!

"BOOM!"

Dai Mubai was sent flying, his arms covered in blood, crashing hard into the spectator stands!

"SHEN AN! I'LL KILL YOU!"

Seeing Xiao Wu injured, Tang San's eyes turned blood-red, his face twisted in fury.

At the same time, he secretly pulled out a hidden weapon—a small, black hammer.

The Clear Sky Hammer!

Shen An smirked and prepared for the final clash.
