Took to the Skies

Boss Xiao's group trembled in fear. Even though the Golden Dragon had already dissolved into specks of golden light and vanished, the intimidation it had brought still lingered.

Was this kid also a work-study student this year?

Why was there such an outrageous work-study student?

Fight my ass!

They couldn't summon even the slightest will to resist!

"Hmph! We'll talk about our business tonight. First, let's deal with these people!" Xiao Wu pointed at Boss Xiao's group and said angrily, "Wang Sheng is too useless, and the others are even worse than him. As the boss, I can't go first. You fight for us."

Hearing this, Wang Sheng covered his face and lowered his head in shame. The other work-study students also looked embarrassed, but their faces soon brightened again. Didn't they still have Xu Changqing and Sister Xiao Wu?

There was no way their work-study students could lose today!

Xu Changqing naturally had no objections to fighting. He did not even want to use a Soul Skill; he wanted to test just how capable he was in combat now.

He lacked experience in hand-to-hand combat, but he believed his physical constitution and Soul Power advantages could make up for that. These upper-year students happened to be excellent sparring partners. He would not be at a disadvantage against them.

With that thought, he stepped into the center of the field and looked at Boss Xiao's group. "Xu Changqing, a level-thirteen one-ring Tool Soul Master. My martial soul is the Five Dragon Lyre. Who's first?"

As he spoke, he summoned his martial soul. A yellow Century Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet and slowly revolved around him.

The sight made Xiao Chenyu's group's hearts twitch again. They silently exchanged looks. Fight my ass!

In the end, Xiao Chenyu forced himself to step forward. "We surrender. From now on, you're the new boss of Notting Academy. Come over and greet Boss Xu."

"Boss Xu!" A group of upper-year students stepped forward in unison, bowed neatly, and called out.

Xu Changqing was stunned. He had originally wanted to find a weakling to spar with and test the waters, to experience what hand-to-hand fighting felt like, but they had just chickened out like this?

They really did not give him a single chance!

Forget it. He probably would not learn much combat experience from fighting these kids anyway. It would be better to ask Si Si Jie for pointers when he learned spear techniques from her that afternoon.

Xu Changqing shook his head. "I'm not interested in being the academy boss. Go find Xiao Wu. She's no weaker than me."

Xu Changqing was not saying that casually. Without using Soul Skills, he was absolutely no match for Xiao Wu. But Xiao Chenyu and the others clearly did not believe him. How could they still show their faces if they took a little girl as their boss?

Only after Xiao Wu stepped forward and revealed her Century Soul Ring and her level-twelve Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul did Xiao Chenyu and the others finally accept it.

Seeing Xu Changqing summon a Golden Dragon and prepare to leave, Xiao Wu skipped over and raised one finger as she negotiated, "Xu Changqing, let me ride your dragon too, okay? How about taking me flying for an hour?"

Wang Sheng and Xiao Chenyu's group of underlings also crowded around at that moment. While clicking their tongues in amazement, their eyes were filled with envy. They wanted to ride that majestic Golden Dragon into the sky for a lap too!

"An hour?"

Xu Changqing's mouth twitched. At most, he could fly for five minutes before his Soul Power was depleted. He had even summoned it once on the way here. How was he supposed to fly for an hour?

"Stop fooling around, Xiao Wu. I have something to do this afternoon."

With that, he was about to leave, but Xiao Wu grabbed him again.

"Half an hour, then!" Xiao Wu clasped her hands together and pleaded sweetly. She had never flown before, and she desperately wanted to experience the feeling. Flying through the sky on this dragon looked so fun.

Xu Changqing rubbed his temple and explained helplessly, "Forget half an hour. I can't even manage five minutes right now. Summoning the Golden Dragon takes one-fifth of my Soul Power. If you keep holding me here and won't let me go, this Golden Dragon is about to dissipate."

Xiao Wu was a little disappointed upon hearing that. The time was so short?

"Still, if you're willing to call me Changqing Gege in the future, I can consider taking you flying for two minutes. When my Soul Power level is higher, I can take you flying every day." Xu Changqing said with a slight curl of his lips.

"Impossible! Sister Xiao Wu will never agree to that—"

"Then goodbye!"

Before she could finish, Xu Changqing waved his right hand, and the Golden Dragon roared into the sky. Wasn't she just holding him up? She had already wasted several more seconds of his time.

Driven by her restless nature, Xiao Wu instinctively grabbed the tail of the Golden Dragon that was about to soar away. Then, screaming "Aah, aah, aah, aah!" she was carried into the sky.

When the Golden Dragon flew, its body undulated up and down. Its tail moved like a fish's as well, except fish swayed from side to side while it swayed up and down. Xiao Wu was flung up and down, up and down, nearly to the point of vomiting.

The sight darkened Xu Changqing's expression. This mischievous little rabbit really knew how to make trouble for him.

He clenched his hand, and the Golden Dragon came to a stop in midair. Seizing the chance, Xiao Wu exerted force through her wrist and pulled herself upward. Then, with a few pushes from the tips of her toes against the dragon's back, she reached Xu Changqing's back in the blink of an eye and straddled the dragon's back behind him, copying his posture.

"Hmph, you thought you could shake me off? Don't you know who I am?" Xiao Wu crossed her arms, looking smug.

Xu Changqing rolled his eyes and stretched out his right hand. The Soul Ring Bracelet on his wrist flashed faintly, and the Golden Dragon instantly regained its vigor, roaring as it shot forward at full speed. Xiao Wu cried out and hurriedly wrapped her arms around Xu Changqing's waist, barely keeping herself from falling off.

Just as she adjusted to the Golden Dragon's speed and settled down, it suddenly braked sharply in midair. She slammed into Xu Changqing's back again before she could complain, and then the Golden Dragon abruptly accelerated once more before braking sharply again.

Xu Changqing had practically turned this First Soul Skill into a whole bag of tricks. If Xiao Wu had not been too young to develop yet, the feeling of being pushed into his back would definitely have been amazing.

"So, is it fun?"

Xu Changqing's teasing voice came from ahead.

Xiao Wu punched him angrily, but then an unexpected smile bloomed on her adorable face. Delighted, she shouted, "It's so fun! Again! This time, let's fly higher!"

Xu Changqing: "..."

Was there something wrong with the way her mind worked?

Did she have some kind of serious illness?

Still, Xu Changqing also wanted to see just how high his Golden Dragon could fly—whether it might break through the atmosphere or even reach space to see the stars. But the moment that thought arose, he quickly snuffed it out. It was too dangerous. Perhaps he could try it after he became stronger in the future.

Not now. If he overdid it and ran out of Soul Power, wouldn't they fall straight down and die?

"Hold tight!" Xu Changqing warned, lifting his wrist upward. The Golden Dragon's head swung accordingly, then it shot straight into the heavens. It could not break through the atmosphere, but that did not mean he could not try climbing higher. The summoning time for this Golden Dragon was about to run out.

Both of them tightly clamped their legs around the dragon's body. Xiao Wu hugged Xu Changqing and shouted excitedly behind him, while a hint of excitement also appeared on Xu Changqing's delicate face.

In this life, with only a First Soul Skill, he had effortlessly achieved a dream that countless people in his previous life had been unable to fulfill.

This world was truly incredibly wonderful!
