The Brave Green-Haired Youth

Compared to the pair of inseparable frenemies, Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi was not nearly as famous. After all, Seagod Island was a secluded force. Though it was very powerful, it usually kept a low profile and had little reputation across Douluo Dalu.

Still, Bo Saixi's strength was beyond question. In the future, she would even get involved between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, putting on one melodramatic love-triangle drama after another.

Li Ang was not particularly disappointed to discover that he had transmigrated more than a hundred years before the original story began.

More than that, having just arrived in Douluo Dalu, Li Ang cared far more about his own soul spirit.

After all, Douluo Dalu was a world where soul spirits spoke for themselves. Those with powerful soul spirits stood above others. If your soul spirit was trash, or if you had no Soul Power, then you could only stay in the village and farm honestly while enjoying the nobles' exploitation.

What reassured Li Ang was that Spirit Hall had not yet been destroyed when he transmigrated. At the very least, soul masters still regularly traveled to every corner of Douluo Dalu to awaken soul spirits for children of the proper age.

If he had transmigrated to some point after Spirit Hall's destruction, that would have been truly despairing. Ordinary people would not even have the chance to awaken a soul spirit.

All in all, Li Ang had been fairly lucky. At least he possessed Innate Soul Power, and his soul spirit was not a useless one.

However, his talent was truly nothing remarkable among soul masters.

Although he was stronger than a certain good-for-nothing who constantly shouted that there were only useless soul masters, not useless soul spirits, yet had merely half a level of Innate Soul Power and had been stuck at the level-twenty-nine bottleneck for most of his life, he was only so much stronger.

Li Ang's talent was probably about on par with Brother Su Yuntao, the famously blind Douluo of Douluo Dalu.

He had two levels of Innate Soul Power. As for his soul spirit, Li Ang's was called Black Beast.

Although the name of this soul spirit could easily lead people's thoughts astray, Black Beast was merely a fairly common Beast Soul Spirit in Douluo Dalu.

A Black Beast was actually just a kind of black wolf-type soul beast. Who knew what the person who named it had been thinking, to give it such a name.

Of course, while his talent was not much to speak of, Li Ang still achieved success through later effort. Though he was not as ridiculously formidable as Tang Chen, Qian Daoliu, or Bo Saixi—

—when Li Ang was eighty years old, he still successfully cultivated to the realm of Titled Douluo.

With ordinary talent and an ordinary soul spirit, yet becoming a Titled Douluo, Li Ang had naturally borrowed a tiny bit of outside help.

It was actually nothing much. Whenever his cultivation reached a bottleneck, Li Ang simply made a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest.

In the days that followed, whenever Li Ang encountered a bottleneck, he ran to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Over the past several decades, he had ravaged the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well quite badly.

By crazily popping pills, Li Ang's cultivation had risen to the realm of Titled Douluo.

However, after reaching Titled Douluo, taking medicine was basically useless.

Therefore, ever since cultivating to Titled Douluo, Li Ang's cultivation had not improved at all. It had remained steadily at level ninety-one.

Combined with his advanced age and the disadvantage of his soul spirit, Li Ang could basically be considered the weakest among the Titled Douluo currently alive in Douluo Dalu.

Even Dugu Bo, known as the disgrace of Titled Douluo, was somewhat stronger than Li Ang now.

Fortunately, Titled Douluo were still quite valuable in this era, so Li Ang had been doing fairly well in Douluo Dalu.

Over the years, he had enjoyed everything there was to enjoy, to the point that his kidneys were severely overdrawn in his old age.

This life had not been a loss!

Li Ang had originally even prepared his coffin, waiting only to die of old age and have the lid nailed shut! (As for the lifespan of Titled Douluo in the original work, there were major plot holes. The author specifically looked into it. Three people in the original work had offered opinions on the lifespan of Titled Douluo: Bo Saixi, Yu Xiaogang, and Tang Xiao. Bo Saixi's statement was the most exaggerated and least reliable. She said Titled Douluo could live to three hundred, and every level thereafter added another hundred years to their lifespan, making Limit Douluo live to a thousand. Yu Xiaogang said ordinary people generally lived sixty to eighty years, while soul masters could easily reach a hundred if nothing unexpected happened, especially high-level soul masters. Upon reaching the Titled Douluo level, extending one's lifespan by another twenty years would be no problem. Tang Xiao, meanwhile, said Limit Douluo could easily live to two hundred. In short, the settings were chaotic and contradictory. Therefore, based on the original story, this book's setting is that ordinary Titled Douluo have a lifespan limit of one hundred to one hundred and fifty years, Super Douluo live around two hundred years, and Limit Douluo live three hundred to four hundred years.)

Yet on Li Ang's ninety-ninth birthday, his system finally came online!

His system had only come online when he was already so old he was practically dying. Li Ang was utterly miserable. What the hell had it been doing all this time? He had grown this old; his glorious youth was gone. What use was a cheat system now? Wouldn't it be better to lie down and wait for death?

Besides, could a system save his two already overdrawn kidneys?

Then, after carefully studying the system's various functions, Li Ang discovered that it actually could!

Li Ang's system was rather simple. Put simply, it was a Shit-Stirring System that frantically encouraged its host to cause trouble.

Its main quest was to have the host rewrite the original plot's course. Once the original plot deviated to a certain extent, the system would reward the host with points, and those points could be exchanged for all kinds of rewards in the system's built-in shop.

Furthermore, to make it easier for the host to cause trouble, all sorts of items used to rewrite the plot could be used for free. For example, the two secret manuals Li Ang had prepared for Tang San earlier had been sponsored by the system.

Viewed that way, rewriting the plot should have been very easy. After all, Tang San was not even a soul master yet.

Li Ang only needed to make a trip to Notting City and kill both Tang San and Xiao Wu, the male and female leads. The plot of Douluo would immediately be smashed to pieces.

However, things were not that simple. Li Ang's task was indeed to rewrite the plot, but he could not personally act during the process. Simple and brutal methods like hiring assassins were not allowed either. Li Ang could only act as the mastermind behind the scenes, secretly stirring things up without leaving a trace.

Although the system was a troublemaking bastard, for the sake of his kidneys, after it came online, Li Ang still traveled all the way to Notting City in the Heaven Dou Empire, intending to find an opportunity to complete quests and rewrite the original plot.

Actually, Li Ang had not originally planned to sell secret manuals to Tang San. He had traveled all the way to Notting City to set up a stall, but Tang San was not his original target.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had merely happened to pass in front of him. Li Ang felt that if he did not give Tang San, the protagonist, a special gift, it would be hard to justify.

Therefore, after Tang San and Xiao Wu left, Li Ang did not slip away. He continued setting up his stall beside Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, waiting for the fish he had originally intended to catch to take the bait.

After waiting for over another hour, a group of young people passed by Li Ang's stall.

Judging from their clothes, these seven or eight young people should all have been students of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

However, these young people were dressed in a way that was hard to describe. They were unmistakably a gang of delinquent punks.

The one at the front had dyed his hair green. Striding with the swagger of someone who recognized no family ties, he led his lackeys toward Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

Even though Li Ang had lived in Douluo Dalu for over a hundred years, he could not help but stare in stunned disbelief at the sight.

If he had not gathered intelligence beforehand and confirmed that person's appearance, he truly might not have been able to determine that this brave green-haired youth before him was the person he had been looking for.
