"Blue Tyrant Academy? Isn't that the academy Liu Erlong founded? If I smash it up, won't Tang San and the others have nowhere to study in the future?"
Li Xuan suddenly thought of this, and a flash of understanding passed through his eyes.
Without Blue Tyrant Academy, Tang San and the others would have no way to register for the Spirit Master Tournament. Their growth would inevitably be greatly hindered.
"I should make a trip to Shrek Academy later and smash it up too. And Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy as well. There should definitely be plenty of rewards."
Li Xuan muttered to himself, though he also understood that even if he destroyed those academies, they could still rebuild them. Even if they had no money, this world would favor them, and someone would provide the funds.
In any case, Tang San and the others would surely still have a new school to attend, or they might run off somewhere unknown to establish one. That would be annoying.
"Wait, I've thought of an interesting idea. Once I destroy those schools, I can pay to rebuild them, find a way to become the principal, and set a rule that only female students are accepted. Then I can split up Shrek."
Delight flashed through Li Xuan's eyes. He felt this idea was a stroke of genius. Tang San would definitely be separated from Ning Rongrong and the others then.
"Wait, Tang San wouldn't cross-dress to attend school, would he?"
A thought flashed through Li Xuan's mind, and he felt there seemed to be a loophole.
"It's fine. If he really comes dressed as a girl, I'll find a way to slow his cultivation and make sure he has no chance to participate in the Spirit Master Tournament. Yes, that's a great method."
Li Xuan muttered as he made his decision, then chose the third option.
Ding! Selection complete. The second troublemaking option mission has been issued. Ding! Please choose one. Basic option: Become a Baron. Reward: Basic Sword Technique +3 Souls. Intermediate option: Become a Viscount. Reward: Intermediate Sword Technique +3 Souls. Advanced option: Become an Earl. Reward: Advanced Sword Technique +3 Souls.
"Sword techniques? This ability won't be all that useful to me, will it? Forget it. Since it's appeared, I might as well get it. You can never have too many skills."
Li Xuan muttered, but still chose the advanced option.
Ding! Selection complete. Please work hard.
"How am I supposed to complete this mission? Becoming an Earl won't be easy."
Li Xuan remembered that in the original story, when Tang San and the others participated in the tournament, among all the advancing teams, only the captain and Vice-Captain received Viscount titles. Ordinary members only received Baron titles.
An Earl title, which was far more valuable, was extremely difficult to obtain. Without sufficient merits, no one would grant such a title.
"This seems a little troublesome. What should I do? Hm? Isn't that Poison Douluo and his granddaughter? They're actually staying at the town mayor's house. Having status really is useful."
Through God's Perspective, Li Xuan saw Poison Douluo and the others, and an idea immediately came to him.
Given Dugu Bo's status as a Title Douluo, Li Xuan felt he could be of help, so he prepared to pay him a visit.
Of course.
This might expose his identity, but after giving it some thought, Li Xuan decided that with Poison Douluo dragging his family along, he would not dare provoke him.
If he dared to harbor ill intentions, Li Xuan would not mind getting ruthless.
So Li Xuan went without hesitation. He did not even disguise himself and headed straight for the town mayor's house.
The town mayor's residence.
Poison Douluo was sitting in the lounge, drinking Emotion Water while sensing his injuries recovering. He then looked at his granddaughter in delight.
"This potion is truly extraordinary. It's actually treating the root of my illness. I feel that in less than five days, I'll be completely recovered."
"Hmph, and yet you took more than half of my potion. The big monster left that for me to treat my injuries."
Dugu Yan pouted unhappily. Her butt had been smacked several times, and it still hurt.
"Ahem, your injuries will heal after a few days of rest. These miraculous potions have great uses. If anyone in the family suffers severe injuries in the future, they can be saved in time."
Poison Douluo comforted her gently, afraid that his granddaughter would get angry.
"All right, then. What you said makes sense."
Dugu Yan was not unreasonable. Hearing her grandfather's words, she nodded in agreement.
Just then.
Footsteps sounded from afar, and before long, the town mayor slowly arrived outside the door.
"My lord, there is a rather refined person outside the courtyard. He said he wants you to go out and see him. He was also muttering to himself about getting an Earl title or something."
"He wants me to go out and see him? Is he insane? What does he think a Title Douluo is? Drive him away. Besides, an Earl title comes with vast lands. No amount of merits can earn one. Why should he get one?"
Upon hearing the town mayor's words, Poison Douluo thought of the countless nobles who had come to beg for positions and curry favor with him in the past. His temper immediately flared, and he barked out a reprimand.
"Th-then I'll go refuse him," the town mayor said hurriedly in fright.
"Drive him away, drive him away. Don't let just anyone come bother me in the future." Poison Douluo waved his hand angrily.
"Yes, my lord." The town mayor hurriedly bowed and left.
Not long after.
The town mayor rushed back again and continued bowing. "My lord, that person has already been driven away."
"Good. By the way, what rank of noble was he? I'd like to see which noble was arrogant enough to dare make me go out and meet him," Poison Douluo said casually.
"My lord, he was a little boy with silver hair and purple eyes. His skin was very fair, and he looked like a noble, but I don't know what kind of noble he was," the town mayor hurriedly replied.
"A little boy with silver hair and purple eyes? What did you say? A little boy with silver hair and purple eyes?"
Poison Douluo froze at first, then suddenly rushed out the door and grabbed the town mayor by the collar.
"Say it again. What did that person look like?" Poison Douluo demanded loudly, his voice trembling faintly.
"He was a little boy with silver hair and purple eyes. His skin was fair, and he looked like a noble. I didn't dare provoke him, so I reported it to you," the town mayor hurriedly explained.
"Damn it, you idiot. Get lost."
Poison Douluo exploded with rage. He flung the town mayor aside and rushed outside in terror, intending to see Li Xuan and apologize.
There was no helping it. The scene of being smashed before was still vivid in his mind. He never wanted to experience anything like that again.
Therefore.
He moved at incredible speed and arrived outside the courtyard gate almost instantly.
However.
Looking at the empty space outside the courtyard gate, Poison Douluo looked around blankly but could not find the other party.
"Why isn't he here? He should have waited for me to come out and apologize, right?"
Poison Douluo spoke as he quickly searched the surroundings. Unfortunately, after searching for an hour and combing through the entire town, he still found nothing. A vague sense of dread rose within him.
"Could it be that he won't accept an apology at all? Is he planning to smash me?"
Thinking of the time he had been smashed senseless, thinking of that miserable scene, Poison Douluo's entire body trembled.
"No, no, I have to keep looking. This can't be blamed on me. Blame the town mayor. How was I supposed to know it was you who had come? That town mayor set me up!"
The fear in Poison Douluo's heart grew stronger and stronger. He hurriedly began another broad search, spending another three full hours searching all over Sunset Town. Unfortunately, he still found nothing.
Now things were truly troublesome, and terribly so.
