Rise of the Work-Study Students

Rise of the Work-Study Students

A battle between Wang Sheng and Liu Long was on the verge of breaking out!

"Wang Sheng, admit defeat. You're no match for me!" Liu Long gripped his long staff Martial Soul, brimming with confidence. Since enrolling, he and Wang Sheng had fought many times, and Wang Sheng had never won.

With his Level 9 Soul Power and long staff Martial Soul, what did Wang Sheng have to defeat him? Liu Long truly could not think of anything.

Wang Sheng wore a determined expression and declared confidently, "Today, I'll definitely win!"

"Huh?" Liu Long was somewhat baffled. Seeing how certain Wang Sheng was, he had no idea where his courage came from.

Could Wang Sheng have some kind of trump card? Liu Long froze, then shook his head disdainfully. How could a mere Work-Study Student like him have any trump card? I'm overthinking this.

The battle began at once!

"Mm, ah!" Liu Long's long staff slammed viciously into Wang Sheng's chest again. Even Wang Sheng's Beast Martial Soul defenses could not completely nullify the piercing pain, and he could not help crying out.

"Geez! Wang Sheng is getting beaten up so badly!" Xiao Wu said sadly.

"Could you not smile while saying that, Xiao Wu?" Lu Yuan said helplessly.

Xiao Wu giggled. "I didn't expect Wang Sheng to be such a good actor. I only said it casually, but even his beating looks so convincing!"

Tang San said, "That's true. Wang Sheng deliberately suppressed his strength and concentrated all his Soul Power on defense, making Liu Long think he was completely helpless. That's why Liu Long gradually became careless. In reality, every time Liu Long's staff struck Wang Sheng, it did far less damage than he imagined."

Lu Yuan continued, "Liu Long has fought Wang Sheng more than once, so he knows roughly how strong Wang Sheng is. That means Wang Sheng couldn't appear too weak from the start. His acting today has indeed been excellent. He concealed his strength perfectly, and Liu Long didn't notice anything wrong. Besides, Liu Long is a Tool Soul Master. His physical constitution is weak, and he doesn't have much endurance."

"Wang Sheng's cleverness lies in the fact that although he gets hit every time, Liu Long needs several exchanges to land each blow. That consumes a great deal of Liu Long's stamina and Soul Power, yet Liu Long still hasn't realized it."

"As a Beast Martial Soul Master, Wang Sheng can withstand the attacks with his own defenses. He can take a beating and has not wasted much Soul Power throughout the fight. By now, the remaining Soul Power of both sides is no longer on the same level," Tang San said.

"The chance for victory is right before us!" Lu Yuan concluded.

"Strange, why am I getting weaker and weaker?" Liu Long was puzzled. Wang Sheng seemed exceptionally tough today. In the past, Wang Sheng had always liked clashing head-on with him, but today he kept dodging, and his strength seemed to have dropped considerably.

Yet strangely, Wang Sheng had once been like a living target to him, someone he could hit however he wanted. But today, despite spending so much Soul Power, he had landed far fewer blows on Wang Sheng.

As time passed, he realized that his strength was steadily dwindling.

"Now!" Sensing Liu Long's strength weakening and his movements slowing, Wang Sheng unleashed all of his own remaining Soul Power in a single burst. He knocked Liu Long's long staff flying, then swung a tiger claw toward him.

"Not good!" Wang Sheng's sudden burst startled Liu Long. Unable to dodge in time, he was slapped across the cheek by Wang Sheng and sent flying several meters before passing out on the spot.

"Liu Long!" Seeing Liu Long suddenly sent flying by a single slap from Wang Sheng, they could not help crying out in alarm. Liu Long had clearly been crushing Wang Sheng just moments ago. How had the situation suddenly reversed? Liu Long had actually been sent flying.

"Sister Xiao Wu, I won!" Wang Sheng threw back his head and let out a tiger's roar, delighted as a child. Since entering Notting College, he had never beaten Liu Long. Today, he had finally fulfilled that dream.

"Well done, Wang Sheng. You didn't disappoint Sister Xiao Wu. Go rest!" Xiao Wu patted Wang Sheng's shoulder grandly and told him to go rest.

"Xiao Chenyu, we Work-Study Students won the first match. Who are you sending out for the next one?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Ling Feng, you go." Xiao Chenyu sent out his strongest subordinate.

"Then I'll represent the Work-Study Students!" Tang San stepped forward and faced Ling Feng from a distance.

"Kid, I'll show you Work-Study Students how formidable I am!" As Xiao Chenyu's top lackey, Ling Feng had his own pride. He would show these Work-Study Students just how strong he was.

The battle began at once!

Bang! Smack! A figure flew out. Ling Feng was sent flying several meters, following in Liu Long's footsteps!

One kick. A simple whip kick was all it took for Ling Feng to experience a brutal lesson from the real world.

"Who is this kid? He defeated Ling Feng in one move!" Xiao Chenyu's expression turned rather ugly. He had not expected two of his top men to lose to Work-Study Students. How could Xiao Chenyu possibly accept that?

"Xiao Chenyu, it's best two out of three. You've already lost, and we've won!" Xiao Wu was ecstatic. "From today onward, all of you have to call me Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Keep dreaming, little rabbit. I, Xiao Chenyu, haven't lost yet!" Xiao Chenyu had always been used to throwing his weight around. How could he acknowledge a little girl as his boss? Did he not care about his pride?

"Are you refusing to honor the bet after losing?" Tang San stepped forward. He had always kept his word and despised people who went back on theirs.

"You haven't beaten me yet. I'm not convinced. Unless one of you can defeat me, I absolutely will not admit defeat." Xiao Chenyu was very confident in his own strength. Since Lu Yuan had clearly stated that he would not take action, Xiao Chenyu did not believe anyone here could defeat him.

"Fine! Then I'll play with you!" Tang San stepped forward.

"Little San, let me do it!" Xiao Wu said to Tang San. Xiao Chenyu had lost but refused to honor the bet. As Sister Xiao Wu, she had to teach him a lesson.

"No need. A mere Xiao Chenyu doesn't require you to act. I alone am enough!" After obtaining his first Soul Ring, he had yet to test its power. Perhaps Xiao Chenyu would be the first to taste it.

"Xiao Chenyu, Martial Soul: Wolf. Level 11, one-ring Battle Soul Master!" A white Soul Ring lit up from Xiao Chenyu's body. He clearly did not underestimate Tang San. Any kid who could defeat Ling Feng in one strike deserved his full attention.

"Tang San, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass. Level 13, one-ring Battle Soul Master!" Blue Silver Grass appeared in Tang San's hand, while a dazzling century-old Soul Ring radiated yellow light!

Watching the two opponents facing off in the arena, Lu Yuan turned and left. With the battle having reached this point, the rise of the Work-Study Students was already unstoppable. There was no need to keep watching.

Lu Yuan's figure gradually receded, fading from sight.
