What Are You?

Sacrifice Points could be exchanged for Copper Soul Coins at a ratio of one to one hundred.

The currency system of Douluo Continent was one Gold Soul Coin equal to ten Silver Soul Coins, equal to one hundred Copper Soul Coins.

By that calculation, one Sacrifice Point could be exchanged for exactly one Gold Soul Coin.

For Huo Feng, at least, there was no need to worry too much about money.

He did not have to rack his brains like Tang San, wondering which Blacksmith Shop he could work at.

More than ten people, including Huo Feng and Xiao Wu, left Seventh Dorm and headed for the cafeteria, with Wang Sheng leading the way.

Along the way, he kept introducing the academy to his boss.

Notting Academy's cafeteria had two floors.

The first floor was a hall, and the food was cheap.

The second floor served finer dishes, and the prices were expensive.

"Yo, isn't this Wang Sheng and his bunch of poor ghosts?"

The moment they entered the cafeteria, a voice dripping with mockery rang out.

"Been a few days. Where did you pick up two more poor little lackeys?"

Following the voice, Huo Feng looked up and saw a group of upperclassmen gathered on the stairs, looking down at them from above.

From their clothes alone, it was easy to tell that they were children from wealthy and influential families.

The leader was a student around ten years old, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

Seeing two unfamiliar people standing beside Wang Sheng, he immediately assumed they were the latter's newly recruited lackeys.

What else could Wang Sheng's lackeys be but poor ghosts? "You poor ghosts will probably never get the chance to eat on the second floor. Tsk, tsk, tsk."

"What are you supposed to be? Is the second floor that amazing?"

At the provocation, Xiao Wu could not hold back any longer.

"The food upstairs is expensive. Us Work-study students rarely go there."

One of the Work-study students muttered softly.

He was telling the truth. With so many people, one meal on the second floor would probably cost three or four hundred Copper Soul Coins.

A Work-study student only earned three hundred Copper Soul Coins a month.

After one meal like that, how were they supposed to live for the rest of the month?

"Yo, that little girl's quite pretty."

When Xiao Wu spoke, the students upstairs did not get angry. Instead, their eyes lit up.

They looked distinctly ill-intentioned.

Most of them were fifth- or sixth-year students and had been at Notting Academy for several years.

They had seen plenty of girls during that time, but they had never seen such a pretty little girl as the one downstairs.

Unfortunately, she was a little too young—and a Work-study student besides.

She was not worthy of their status.

"I'm here to eat, so I don't have time to deal with you. Next time you see me, remember to stay out of my way."

The student was clearly putting on a grand show in front of his lackeys.

Seeing Wang Sheng's furious but silent expression made him feel utterly delighted.

"Come on. I'm in a good mood today, so I'm paying. Let's have a feast!"

With a grand wave of his hand, he called to the group and started toward the second floor.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu snorted coldly and lifted her foot to chase after them.

Huo Feng reached out and grabbed her arm, tugging her behind him with a little force.

Xiao Wu immediately felt displeased.

"You're just going to..."

She had only gotten halfway through when she saw Huo Feng walk straight toward the stairs.

"As the boss, I have to lead from the front. How can I let you go first?"

Huo Feng tossed out those words and continued forward without looking back.

Xiao Wu's pretty face reddened. So she had misunderstood him.

She immediately followed after him.

"Let's go!"

Wang Sheng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and called for the others to follow.

He had tolerated those pretentious, arrogant bastards for a long time.

Now that Huo Feng was taking the lead, he could not endure it anymore.

What if they could not win? Even if they could not win, they still had to fight!

At worst, they would get beaten black and blue. They still had to fight for their dignity.

Besides, with Huo Feng and Xiao Wu around, it was still uncertain who was stronger!

"Boss?"

"This brat is the boss?"

"Hahaha, did I hear that right?"

When they saw Huo Feng leading the way over, the group of students who had just reached the second floor all stopped and stared at him fearlessly.

There was not the slightest trace of fear on their faces, only deep contempt.

Wang Sheng had actually acknowledged this little brat as his boss?

It was utterly laughable.

"What, Wang Sheng? Are there no people left among you Work-study students?"

"How can any random trash become your boss?"

By then, Huo Feng's group had reached the second floor as well.

The richly dressed upperclassmen looked at Huo Feng, who was nearly a head shorter than them.

They found it even more ridiculous.

The people behind him all crossed their arms, looking ready to enjoy a good show.

Wang Sheng said nothing, merely clenching his fists in secret.

Since Huo Feng had not spoken, he naturally would not speak out of turn.

"The second floor isn't exclusively yours. Why can't we Work-study students come here?"

Huo Feng spoke calmly, his expression utterly placid, neither happy nor angry.

"Oh, right. Aren't you already here?"

The upperclassman spoke as if in thought, then suddenly burst into laughter. "I'm just afraid you can only smell the food. Poor ghosts will always be poor ghosts! Hahahahaha!"

He laughed and mocked them without restraint.

This was how they had always treated Work-study students.

These Work-study students were born with cheap bones. Not only were they poor, they had no ambition either.

Did they dare lay a hand on him? Huo Feng said nothing. He merely turned his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Wu, who stood diagonally behind him.

Their eyes met, and they nodded at the same time.

"What, not convinced, you—"

The upperclassman was about to mock them again when his voice abruptly cut off.

In his disbelieving gaze, the harmless-looking little girl in front of him suddenly sprang into the air.

With no defenses raised at all, Xiao Wu leaped onto his shoulders at incredible speed.

Her legs twisted around his neck. She bent forward, braced her palms against the ground, and violently swung her waist! Bang!

The next second, the upperclassman was slammed heavily into the ground.

"Y-you..."

The group behind him, who had been ready to watch the show, were dumbstruck by the sight.

But it was not over yet.

Huo Feng's figure flashed. Moving at incredible speed, he closed in on the student lying on the ground and howling in pain in an instant.

He threw a punch straight at that damn face! Bang!

"Aah!"

A pig-slaughtering scream instantly echoed throughout the cafeteria.

Some students who had no idea what was happening looked around in alarm, eager to find out what had occurred.

"Boss is awesome!"

"Boss is mighty!"

Wang Sheng and the other Work-study students watched the group that was usually so arrogant and tyrannical.

Now, they had been frightened by their boss so badly that they did not dare make a sound.

They immediately clapped and cheered.

Just then, several upperclassmen rushed over and quickly dragged away the student who had been beaten.

"You're courting death!"

The latter staggered to his feet, baring his teeth in pain, his face ashen.

He was already furious beyond measure! He had not even released his Martial Soul before those two little bastards ambushed him.

Otherwise, he would not be standing here black and blue, having lost face in front of all his lackeys.

He had to win back this dignity and face!
