Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 326 The First Sprite in Douluo Continent!

"Level 55." Lingxi smiled sweetly and announced her level. "Thanks to the cultivation method that the Earl taught me, my soul power cultivation speed is very fast, and I can improve in all aspects."

"She has indeed reached the Soul King level." Tang San's eyes lit up as he marveled at Catwoman's incredible talent. "After we return to Silver Blue Manor, call Lingmeng, Fan Niu, and Fan Ma over so I can check on your progress."

"No problem." Lingxi readily agreed, then remembered something and said, "My lord, something has happened in Tiandou City recently."

Half a month ago, the Star Luo Empire submitted an arrest warrant to Shrek Academy: "[Three months from now, we will order the Star Luo prince to be arrested and sent back to the country. We hope the Heaven Dou Empire can cooperate...]"

This news was leaked, and almost the entire Tiandou City knew about it.

Xue Qinghe, the representative of the Tiandou Empire, has publicly stated that he hopes the Star Luo Prince can return to his country and clear up the misunderstanding with the Star Luo royal family. Otherwise, the entire Tiandou Empire will assist the Star Luo Empire in its investigation. This is to avoid the Star Luo Empire believing that the Tiandou Empire is harboring the Star Luo Prince, which could trigger a conflict between the two empires and lead to war.

"What's Shrek Academy's perspective?"

Tang San had some understanding of the current situation at Shrek Academy. Of the few who had participated in the Continental Elite Tournament, Tyrone had returned to the Power Clan and, under the guidance of his father Tyno and grandfather Titan, began to handle family affairs.

Jingling, Huang Yuan, and Jiangzhu worked as freelance Soul Masters for a period after graduation before eventually going to Wuhun City and joining the Wuhun Hall.

Xiao Wu told me that Jiang Zhu works in the main city's pharmaceutical research lab in the Medicine City.

Mu Tian... became a Fallen One, and handed himself over to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. He was either imprisoned for life, never to see the light of day, or he was killed, thus erasing this stain.

Ma Hongjun, whom Tang San met once in Phoenix City, is currently traveling across the continent in search of a way to control his evil fire.

Oscar remained at the academy, listening to the earnest teachings of his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, but he went further and further astray on the path of a food-type Soul Master...

As for Dai Mubai, he also stayed at Shrek Academy, clearly not intending to return to the Star Luo Empire. Moreover, without the pressure of competition, his cultivation became much more relaxed, and he spent his days doing nothing, chasing after female students and playing with wealthy women. However, due to his birth into the Star Luo royal family, his White Tiger Martial Soul could not be allowed to wander outside.

Lingxi said to Tang San, who was secretly marveling at how good the contraception in Douluo Continent was, "Shrek Academy hasn't made any public statements, and Lingtang Technology Co., Ltd. doesn't pay much attention to the situation at the academy, so we don't know much. But we heard that Dai Mubai has become increasingly dissolute lately, often frequenting brothels and other such places, and when he goes there, he books the entire place, not giving anyone else a chance."

"I suspect he wanted to enjoy himself a little longer before being caught and taken back, and he gave up on himself."

"However, after Crown Prince Xue Qinghe made his public statement, not many people in Tiandou City dared to compete with him. After all, he is the prince of Xingluo. If things are not handled properly, according to you, Earl, it could cause a diplomatic incident, or even worse, it could lead to war."

"Furthermore, even if you win this kind of fight, it doesn't bring you any good reputation. In the past, without soul-guided cameras and soul-guided photography spheres, information spread slowly, and only people in the vicinity knew about it. But now, photos can be published in newspapers, and images can be projected onto screens. If any scandal occurs, the entire Heaven Dou City, and even other places, can know about it."

This is something that all the nobles of Heaven Dou are actually forbidding, but they can't resist the public's fascination with these news stories. For security reasons, most of the smaller private newspapers cooperate with the Spirit Hall—they are registered under the Spirit Hall's name, pay the Spirit Hall a portion of its profits each month, and in return, the Spirit Hall helps resolve any problems or conflicts caused by nobles seeking revenge against these private newspapers.

In most cases, these nobles would send people to cause trouble, and the Spirit Hall would be responsible for dealing with those troublemakers and then seeking explanations from the corresponding nobles.

Under normal circumstances, the Spirit Hall could obtain a considerable amount of compensation from the nobles, both large and small, and then split the profits 50/50 with the corresponding newspapers.

Therefore, some families and sects would seek cooperation with tabloids... for no other reason than that the money in the hands of nobles is too tempting, and evidence is easy to find. Even if they were blackmailed, those nobles would have nothing to say! At least in this era of increasingly rapid information dissemination, these nobles who have made mistakes have no way to reason with each other.

This can not only help the sect and family make a lot of money, but also satisfy the sense of accomplishment of the disciples after punishing evil and promoting good. It is a win-win situation, so why not?

However, Tang San knew that this situation couldn't last long and would require future intervention...

However, these tabloids have played a significant role in making Dai Mubai's current scandal so widely known.

"Tell everyone at Silver Blue Manor to stay away from Dai Mubai when they encounter him in the future, and not to provoke him to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Tang San instructed, "However, if he comes to cause trouble, you should record his behavior and then retaliate."

"If he persists, I will beat him up in my name. The Star Luo Empire will not interfere in the conflict between the Star Luo Prince and Silver Blue Manor."

Given Tang San's current status, the Star Luo Empire wouldn't bother with Dai Mubai, who is almost self-destructive. Even disregarding his identities as a master of spirit theory and a holy son of the Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire wouldn't dare offend him based solely on his near-peerless strength when unleashed at full power.

"I will warn the people in the manor, especially the sisters Mu Yanluo and Mu Qiluo." Lingxi nodded solemnly.

As for why these two sisters were mentioned?

Naturally, it's because these twin sisters were once Dai Mubai's women, and Dai Mubai might take the initiative to find them and "rekindle their past relationship" at the last moment.

It sounds a bit outrageous, but royalty and nobility have many ethical considerations, and given that Dai Mubai is a peerless "silver" kid, it's not surprising that he would do anything.

"Tang San?"

As they passed the Ice and Snow Honey City shop, Michelle suddenly called out and waved at him, "It really is you! I thought I'd run into another cosplay addict."

"Is this store still open?"

Compared to two years ago, the store has grown considerably, now covering more than 200 square meters. It offers fast food such as hamburgers and fried chicken, and staff dressed as maids with the Snow King logo printed on their chests serve customers food and drinks with warm smiles on their faces, providing top-notch service.

Moreover, judging from the situation, these shop assistants are all Soul Masters—

Could she be a female student from Tianshui Academy?

"What are you talking about!" Michelle leaned on the counter, giggling, and said, "Want a Sprite? Over the past two years, I've studied the leaves of plant spirit beasts like the Thousand-Leaf Pine and the Green Bamboo, and combined them with white sugar, making numerous improvements until I finally created the first Sprite in the Douluo Continent!"
