Hearing Chu Fan's teasing, Xiao Wu's pretty face immediately flushed red. She gritted her teeth, but she could not break free at all.

The two spun as they fell from the air. Facing downward, Xiao Wu watched the floor grow larger and larger before her eyes. Suddenly, Chu Fan pulled with his right hand and burst forth with strength from his waist, catching Xiao Wu in his arm.

Seeing the position he and Xiao Wu were in, Chu Fan thought they looked like two people dancing the Latin. He immediately smiled.

Little white rabbit. With some training in the future, maybe she could even take up dancing!

Seeing the strange way Chu Fan and Xiao Wu were positioned, everyone burst into laughter.

"You lost." Chu Fan said with a faint smile.

Only then did Xiao Wu climb off Chu Fan, only to see a trace of relaxed satisfaction on his face.

Why do I always feel that he has a bit of Big Brother's shadow? Xiao Wu recalled the moment Chu Fan had caught her in his arms and could not help glancing at him a few more times.

Xiao Wu then shook her head. "How could this brat possibly be my Big Brother? I must just miss him too much." Pouting, Xiao Wu murmured, "Big Brother, where are you? Xiao Wu has come looking for you."

"From today onward, Chu Fan is the boss of our Seventh Dormitory!" Wang Sheng shouted.

At once, the dormitory erupted into noise again.

"That's great! With Boss Chu around, no one will dare bully us whenever they please anymore."

"Boss Chu is so strong. One day, I want to become someone like him too."

"Give it up. You? You'd be lucky just to graduate successfully and find a way to make a living."

"Hmph, that just means I have dreams."

The dormitory buzzed with chatter, and smiles could still be seen on everyone's faces.

"Hmph, what's so great about that? If my Big Brother were here, he'd definitely beat you until you pissed yourself." Xiao Wu said, shooting Chu Fan a glance.

Chu Fan smiled faintly and walked toward Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu took two steps back, only to find herself pressed against the wall. The wall behind her blocked her retreat, and Chu Fan had already arrived in front of her. He raised his hand and planted it against the wall directly above Xiao Wu's head.

Chu Fan was already taller than Xiao Wu, and with his arm braced there, it carried a hint of pinning her against the wall. Looking down at Xiao Wu from above, Chu Fan curled his lips into a mischievous smile. "Who is this Big Brother of yours?"

"My Big Brother is the Green Lotus Douluo, a powerhouse of this era," Xiao Wu said loudly. In her eyes, the Green Lotus Douluo was someone who could defeat Er Ming, so he absolutely counted as a powerhouse of this era.

Chu Fan knew that the Big Brother Xiao Wu spoke of was himself, but hearing her answer still made joy rise in his heart.

Chu Fan sighed. This little girl keeps calling him Big Brother. She'll probably be hard to win over. He sighed inwardly.

Just then, Xiao Wu ducked beneath Chu Fan's arm, slipped out from his wall pin, and took several steps to the left.

This little girl is pretty cute.

Watching Xiao Wu shuffle away step by step with that adorable appearance, he could not help smiling inwardly.

Hearing his thoughts, Xiao Wu immediately relaxed. She stood motionless beside a bed more than ten steps away from Chu Fan.

"Wang Sheng, tell me about the academy," Chu Fan asked, turning around.

Only then did the students gradually recover from their excitement. Wang Sheng stepped forward.

"Boss, us Work-Study Students are actually responsible for cleaning the academy. Our specific duties are assigned by teachers specially in charge of us."

"The academy has six grades, with one class in each grade. Boss, you and Xiao Wu are newcomers, so you should be first-year students. The rest of us are at least third-years. I've entered the sixth grade this year.

"Classes are held every morning, while the afternoons are for personal cultivation. There are usually two morning classes: one on general knowledge and one on martial spirits. Most of us Work-Study Students have jobs to do in the afternoons, earning a bit of money for food."

Wang Sheng briefly introduced the other students. Among these Work-Study Students, Wang Sheng had the best innate martial spirit. Not only was it a Beast Spirit, but it was also the king of beasts with formidable combat power. His Soul Power had already reached rank nine. Once he advanced another rank, he could participate in soul beast hunting upon graduation, acquire a soul ring, and raise his title.

At that moment, Wang Sheng pointed to the bed in front of him and said to Chu Fan with a smile, "Boss Chu, this is the best spot in the dormitory. According to the rules of the Seventh Dormitory, it's yours." Without waiting for Chu Fan's response, he began tidying it up.

In an instant, the bed by the window had been cleaned spotlessly. At a glance, it seemed somewhat larger than the other beds, enough to accommodate two children.

Chu Fan did not refuse. He walked over and nodded in satisfaction. In the dormitory, bed assignments were important and also symbols of status.

Wang Sheng had not lied. The bed before him truly had the best location in the Seventh Dormitory. During the day, sunlight streamed in through the window, providing ample light. At night, moonlight could shine through as well. Nighttime was a good time for cultivating Soul Power. If one could cultivate while admiring the stars and moon, would that not be endlessly enjoyable?

Suddenly, the door opened and a child walked in. Like everyone else, he looked at Chu Fan, but unlike the others, his eyes held no greed or envy—only hostility.

The one who had arrived was Tang San. Chu Fan had decisively rejected him earlier, so naturally, he could not show Chu Fan a pleasant face.

Based on the third rule of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, Tang San had already regarded Chu Fan as an enemy. Toward enemies, Tang San's eyes held only hostility.

Chu Fan, one day, I will definitely catch up to you! Tang San thought as he turned his head and began searching for his bed.

Chu Fan did not even spare Tang San a direct glance and continued listening to Wang Sheng describe the academy. In Chu Fan's eyes, Tang San was currently no more than an ant, incapable of drawing even the slightest bit of his attention.

As Tang San searched for his bed, his gaze suddenly stopped on Xiao Wu. His face filled with surprise. Heavens, I never expected the dormitory to be coed. And it looks like my bed is right beside hers.

She's so beautiful. How wonderful would it be if she slept beside me? Tang San thought, overjoyed as he walked toward Xiao Wu.

In his previous life, he had devoted himself wholly to studying the Tang Sect's secret arts and had never truly experienced the feeling of being attracted to a girl.

"Hello, my name is Tang San. Please take care of me from now on." Standing beside Xiao Wu, Tang San took out the academy uniform he had received from the Academic Affairs Office and placed it on the bed.

As the saying went, the moon was first seen from a tower near the water. If she slept near him, he believed that with the advantage of his Innate Full Soul Power, it would not be impossible to make the Xiao Wu before him like him.

Xiao Wu had yet to recover from the battle just now. Her mind was filled with scenes from the fight, and she completely ignored Tang San's attempt to strike up a conversation.

"Hello, my name is Tang San." Still unwilling to give up, Tang San spoke again.

"Get lost!" Xiao Wu said cleanly and decisively.
