As soon as the short man made his move, a system choice appeared before Xiao Lang.
Even Xiao Lang had not expected to trigger a system choice.
[Choice One: Faced with Wu Erlang's provocation, you choose to kneel and beg for mercy. Reward for completing the mission: Level +1, obtain the "Young Hero" title. Effect when equipped: 100% success rate when kneeling and begging for mercy!] [Choice Two: Faced with Wu Erlang's provocation, you choose to teach him a lesson directly and tell him that even among One-star Dou Masters, there are differences in strength. Reward for completing the mission: Level +1! Wind Attribute Fighting Skill damage increased by 10%!] [Choice Three: Faced with Wu Erlang's provocation, you turn a blind eye and continue lying low. Reward for completing the mission: Level +1.]
Looking at the three choices, Xiao Lang could not even be bothered to complain. He had not expected the "Young Hero" title to show up again. The system was really a bastard.
However, the third option really was unwavering. He wondered whether it would keep appearing forever. Would he regret not choosing to become a supreme coward one day? Otherwise, perhaps he would have already become the Water Emperor?
But clearly, the second choice was what he wanted to do.
After all, his greatest dream was to become a teacher and a flower arranger.
A teacher could teach people a lesson, while a flower arranger could arrange flowers.
Arranging flowers could wait, but teaching people a lesson was never late.
With Xiao Lang's current strength, as long as no Da Dou Shi appeared, he was invincible.
After all, strengthened by the strange water and tempered by it for years, his strength and physical fitness had long surpassed those of ordinary Dou Masters.
Not to mention that he also possessed high-tier fighting skills!
Wu Erlang, who was also a One-star Dou Master, was no match for Xiao Lang at all.
"A Dou Master?! How is that possible?!"
When they saw Xiao Lang severely injure a Dou Master with a single palm strike, everyone widened their eyes and stared at the unbelievable scene.
Even Xiao Xun'er was somewhat surprised by Xiao Lang's cultivation speed.
Either he did not advance for years, or once he did, he crossed an entire major realm. Even among those top-tier factions, no one could achieve such speed.
"Y-you... you're actually a Dou Master? How is that possible? This must be a dream. None of this is real!"
Galeo was on the verge of going mad. He simply could not believe that Xiao Lang had reached the Dou Master realm.
Xiao Lang was not even twenty years old. At his age, reaching the Dou Zhe realm was already quite impressive, let alone becoming a Dou Master!
A Dou Master under twenty years old was a terrifying talent beyond his imagination.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
Xiao Lang walked over again and gave Galeo several more Big Slaps, snapping him awake. Looking at Galeo, who had gradually calmed down, he said, "Now do you know whether this is a dream or not?"
"What do you want? Don't tell me you dare kill me?"
Feeling the burning pain on his face, Galeo immediately calmed down. However, the psychological trauma left by those two huge slaps years ago made him terrified once more.
"Is there anything you think I don't dare to do?"
Xiao Lang smiled. His smile looked sunny, but it made people feel as though they had fallen into an icy abyss, sending chills down their spines.
Especially when Galeo saw that smile, he was nearly scared to tears. It was that very smile that had made him wake from nightmares for years!
"I'll pay!"
Galeo recalled how stubbornly hard his mouth had been years ago. The result had been that he lost control of his bowels and bladder, and it would not stop.
Although he did not know how it had happened, he knew Xiao Lang was behind it.
One could imagine how traumatic it was for a public figure to lose control of his bowels and bladder in front of a crowd. That was the ultimate social death.
If you still could not empathize, then imagine everyone finding out about your erectile dysfunction. How devastating would that be?
Therefore, Galeo never wanted to suffer that punishment again and decisively offered compensation.
"That's more like it. Young people fighting and killing all day is so lacking in vitality. We should work hard to make money and strive for the prosperity of our country!"
Xiao Lang's smile became much kinder, like the sunny boy next door—bright, cheerful, and full of ambition.
At that moment, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone upon him, making him appear to glow with golden light, full of holiness and justice!
"..."
Galeo's mouth twitched.
So your idea of working hard to make money was extorting me?
This was outright robbery!
Too much!
"How tall are you?"
Xiao Lang suddenly asked for no apparent reason.
"183."
Galeo answered instinctively.
"Then compensate me with 1.83 million gold coins," Xiao Lang said indifferently.
"N-no, no, no! I'm 1.83 meters, 1.83 meters!" Galeo immediately realized what was happening and hastily changed his answer.
"100,000 gold coins. Not one coin less, or I'll make you lose control of your bowels and bladder again," Xiao Lang said. He knew that Galeo could not afford 1.83 million, nor even 180,000 gold coins.
So he only demanded the highest amount Galeo could bear. After all, a rich second-generation kid could still come up with 100,000 gold coins.
In the end, Galeo emptied all his savings and even sold off quite a few materials. After finally scraping together 100,000 gold coins to compensate Xiao Lang, he immediately fled in disgrace.
The Xiao Clan.
"Clan Leader, this is bad! Third Young Master has been surrounded by Galeo, a Dou Master, and five Six-star Dou Practitioners!" Not long ago, the guard who had been sent to call for reinforcements found Xiao Zhan and reported.
"What?! Outrageous! If anything happens to my Lang'er, I'll tear the Gale Clan apart!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan immediately flew into a towering rage.
His son was only a Three-star Dou Practitioner, yet the other side had dispatched a Dou Master. Were they trying to make him lose his son?
The market district.
"Third Young Master, you've become a Dou Master?"
Only then did Payne beside him get a chance to speak. He looked at Xiao Lang excitedly and asked.
"Keep it low-key. It's just a mere Dou Master. Don't forget, I'm a man with the potential to become a Dou Emperor." Xiao Lang raised his right hand and pressed it down toward the crowd in the air, speaking with an unruffled expression.
"Move aside! Third Young Master is about to show off again!"
No one knew who shouted that from within the crowd, but it immediately triggered a burst of laughter.
"Go on, get lost. Who's showing off? I'm speaking with facts!" Xiao Lang's face darkened. Was I making it that obvious?
However, Xiao Lang did not care and spoke again. "Girls, young wives, married women, and widows who want their palms read, come line up now. There are only fifty spots."
As soon as his words fell, countless girls, young wives, married women, and widows rushed forward to surround Xiao Lang.
After all, whether he actually read palms was not important. What mattered was getting touched.
Besides, Xiao Lang was quite accurate at reading palms.
After all, in his previous life, he had often relied on this trick to seduce rich older women. Naturally, he had some real skill.
"Who dares harm my son!"
At that moment, Xiao Zhan came rushing over. With fury written across his face, he swept his gaze over everyone. The aura of a Da Dou Shi spread out, instantly pressing down on the crowd until they could barely breathe.
However, when he saw Xiao Lang wearing an expression of enjoyment as he was surrounded by a group of women, the anger on his face immediately froze. He turned to the guard who had called him over and said:
"This is the one Dou Master and five Six-star Dou Practitioners you told me about?"
