Pure Will to Dominate

"You must be the Pope's disciple, Young Master Qian Guxing."

A kindly-looking old woman stepped forward and introduced herself:

"I am Motuosifei, the dean of Spirit Hall Academy."

"Hello, Dean Motuosifei." One did not strike a smiling face. The dignified dean of Spirit Hall Academy, a Soul Douluo expert, had been willing to wait for him at the entrance, so Qian Guxing naturally returned the courtesy.

After he greeted each of the education committee members, Motuosifei took Qian Guxing to complete his enrollment, and Hu Liena pulled him straight to the classroom.

Spirit Hall Academy was divided into three large classes: elementary, intermediate, and advanced.

The elementary class was for levels ten through twenty.

The intermediate class was for levels twenty through thirty.

The advanced class was for levels thirty through forty, and some students had even reached level fifty, the Soul King rank!

Hu Liena was eleven this year, and being able to attend the intermediate class already made her exceptionally outstanding.

Although Qian Guxing was only six, he had Innate Level 20 Soul Power, so he could report directly to the intermediate class upon enrollment.

When Hu Liena brought Qian Guxing near the large classroom, the hundreds of girls in the class all grew excited.

"What an adorable little brother!"

"Let big sister give you a physical examination!"

"Let me touch him! Let me touch him too!"

What was it like to be surrounded by hundreds of girls?

Qian Guxing found them noisy. He clapped his hands, and a mass of vines burst from the ground, entangling every girl who came near and allowing him to escape the encirclement with ease.

The extraordinarily wide-range Soul Skill instantly brought the scene under control.

The girls realized that Qian Guxing was not only adorable, but also a powerful Soul Master.

In an instant, the way all the girls looked at Qian Guxing changed. Their initial playful desire to tease a cute child gradually turned into thoughts of how to win over this exceptionally gifted junior!

As for the age gap?

Wasn't a little brother just right? Raising him into the perfect partner was the best!

Qian Guxing noticed the change in the girls' gazes and cried out inwardly that this place urgently needed to be connected to the national power grid. Every last one of them needed a high-voltage shock!

"My damned charm," Qian Guxing remarked, whether to show off or to sigh, it was hard to tell. He had no time to fool around with these girls, so he got up and jumped onto the lectern. Striking as arrogant and overbearing a pose as he could, he called out:

"Starting today, I'm the boss of the intermediate class. Who's for it, and who's against it?"

"We're for it!"

The girls throughout the class cheered without a moment's hesitation.

Their values followed his features; good looks were justice. Besides, Qian Guxing was both handsome and strong, making him utterly irresistible to these girls who had just entered puberty.

"I'm against it!"

At that moment, more than a dozen boys in the back row stood up. Flames of jealousy burned in their eyes as they looked Qian Guxing up and down, sizing up his height with disdain. They said coldly:

"The bosses of our intermediate class are Sister Nana, Brother Xie Yue, and Brother Yan!"

"That's right! You might be talented, but you're young. Among Soul Masters, strength reigns supreme. If you want to be the boss, you have to earn their approval first!"

"Brother Xie Yue, Brother Yan, hurry up and teach this brat who doesn't know the height of heaven or the depth of earth a lesson!"

Xie Yue and Yan, seated in the back row, both darkened.

You think we don't want to fight? We just can't beat him.

They thought back to last time, when Qian Guxing had defeated them with ease before he had even obtained a Soul Ring.

And that had been two against one!

Now that Qian Guxing had come to Spirit Hall Academy, he must have obtained a Soul Ring and grown stronger. How the hell were they supposed to fight him?

The boys who had shouted the loudest gradually noticed something was wrong too. Why weren't Xie Yue and Yan saying a word?

"Boss, say something!"

"Boss?!"

Xie Yue covered his face, and Yan turned his head away. The two squeezed out the words through their teeth:

"I acknowledge him as the boss."

"What?!"

Xie Yue and Yan's words were like thunder from a clear sky, plunging the room into silence.

Although Xie Yue and Yan were not the oldest, they would be part of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation in the future. In the intermediate class, they were among the very best in both level and combat strength.

Yet now, facing Qian Guxing, Xie Yue and Yan did not even have the courage to fight, choosing to surrender so outright.

"No, that's impossible!"

Even so, some still refused to believe it:

"I get it! You're the Pope's disciple, so Brother Xie Yue and Brother Yan don't want to fight you!"

"Hmph, what skill is there in using your status to crush others?!"

The corner of Qian Guxing's mouth twitched.

Even knowing I'm the Pope's disciple, even knowing I'm quite strong, even knowing I'm bound to be extraordinary in the future, you still insist on opposing me?

Your will to dominate is in no way inferior to that bunch from Konoha!

"All right, I don't like wasting words."

Qian Guxing decided to put an end to this pointless farce.

He had no interest in becoming the boss; it was all for the system mission.

"No limit on numbers, no limit on methods. Right here, right now, all of you come at me together. If you can touch my actual body, I lose, and I'll never bring up having you acknowledge me as boss again."

The moment he said that,

the entire classroom fell deathly silent.

Arrogant. Far too fucking arrogant!

There were nearly a thousand people in the intermediate class.

Standing before a thousand level-twenty Soul Masters, Qian Guxing actually dared to pit himself alone against a thousand and arrogantly declare that he would challenge them all at once!

He was practically treating their intermediate class as less than human!

Who among those who had passed layer upon layer of selection to enter Spirit Hall Academy wasn't a genius?

Geniuses had their pride. Even some who had not planned to take part in this farce stood up one after another, forming an encirclement of several hundred in an instant.

This time, he wasn't surrounded by fragrant, soft senior sisters, but a genuine combat squad made up entirely of level-twenty Soul Grandmasters!

"Sister Nana, aren't you going to stop them?" one girl asked, worried for Qian Guxing.

But Hu Liena shook her head. Her gaze was always full of worship and admiration when she looked at Qian Guxing. "You'd better pray for the others. Pray that my junior brother doesn't get too serious."

Her words shocked the girls. Hu Liena herself was one of the strongest in the intermediate class, yet she was now so certain of Qian Guxing's combat strength.

Putting aside the possibility that she was setting him up for a fall with excessive praise, that meant Qian Guxing truly had the ability to suppress them all!

"Brat, you may be the Pope's disciple, but you ought to know what you should and shouldn't say. Today, we'll give you a proper lesson on the Pope's behalf!"

"You'll soon find out what happens when you stir up everyone's anger!"

"Why waste words on him? Get him, everyone!"

Hundreds of people summoned their Martial Souls in an instant. Beast Martial Souls, Tool Martial Souls, all kinds of Martial Souls shimmered with light, stirring up vast Soul Power throughout the classroom.

Facing them, Qian Guxing remained calm and snapped his fingers:

"Domain expansion!"

The Nature Domain spread in every direction in an instant.

Qian Guxing clapped his hands.

Deep Forest Emergence!

Endless vines surged toward them like green ocean waves!

The people who had been clamoring to attack were dumbstruck on the spot?!

Wait.

You're telling me this was a Soul Skill?!

And not a natural disaster?!
