• Li Ang briefly released his nine Soul Rings and Titled Douluo aura, causing the tavern patrons to recognize him as Black Beast Douluo and the Mercenary King.
• Li Ang collected a map from Martin and explained to Shui Bing'er and the other girls that he had intimidated the adventurers because they might attack the group after they left town.
• Li Ang reassured the girls that the adventurers would not dare act recklessly, then paid the bill and led the Heavenly Water Academy group out of town.
