Volume One

"What happened?" Su Xing asked as he approached. Several hours later. "I, Su Xing, have never been one for fighting, but since you insisted on coming to my door to get beaten up, I can only satisfy you. From now on, I'm the boss of Nuoding Academy. All of you will listen to me." "Hurry, hurry, hurry! I heard there's a fight over there. If we're late, we won't get to see it!" On Douluo Continent, as long as your fists were hard enough, there was no one you could not subdue. As for loyalty, as long as the intimidation was sufficient and the benefits were generous enough, it was basically not a problem. "Aah—" "Hey, work-study students over there! Which one of you dares come out and fight me?" Liu Long activated his Soul Power, and yellow light lit up in his hand. A staff over two meters long instantly appeared in his palm. A twelve-year-old boy was beaten so badly by a six-year-old child that he could not fight back at all. Shame and fear were written all over his face... In a corner of the dim dormitory, the bruised and battered boy looked fearfully at the child before him. A six-year-old should still count as a child, right? "The back mountain?" Su Xing muttered, heading toward the back mountain. Classes at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy did not last very long. After classes ended at noon, there was still half an hour of rest before the cafeteria opened. Su Xing decided to use this time to find Xiao Chenyu and the others, have a meal with them, and then have them do something for him... However, when Su Xing arrived at Xiao Chenyu's classroom, he was surprised to find it completely empty. Puzzled, he turned and left the teaching building, heading toward the training grounds. "Got it, Boss Xiao!" At his words, Liu Long and Ling Feng nodded. Nuoding Academy, back mountain, small forest. "Xiao Chenyu, I heard you're the boss of Nuoding Academy. Each side will send someone to fight three matches, with two wins out of three. If we win, you'll give up your position as boss of Nuoding Academy to me, Sister Xiao Wu. How about it?" Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San and shouted at Xiao Chenyu. "Little rabbit, I'm not the boss of Nuoding Academy anymore. The boss of Nuoding Academy is now surnamed Su. But if you really want to fight, we can accompany you. Liu Long, you go first. Show these work-study students what you've got." Xiao Chenyu waved his hand. This student was clearly stunned for a moment before saying, "At noon today, Sister Xiao Wu from the work-study students challenged Boss Xiao and the noble students under him, saying they would fight one-on-one for the position of academy boss. It seems they've already started." "Where are they fighting?" Su Xing asked again. Xiao Wu really was clever. As long as Tang San and she were there today, they were almost guaranteed to win two out of three. Of course, that was on the premise that Wang Sheng could get close. "Oh?" Su Xing was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Tang San and Xiao Wu to confront Xiao Chenyu's group so quickly. He had only beaten Xiao Chenyu that morning and taken the position of boss of Nuoding Academy, yet that dead rabbit was already causing trouble that afternoon. Along the way, Su Xing saw quite a few students running outside, and he vaguely overheard their conversation. On the work-study students' side, Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, let me handle him." After all, aside from Tang San and Xiao Wu, he was the strongest among the work-study students. By both reason and circumstance, he had to take the field. "It's on the back mountain. If you want to watch, hurry up. If you're late, you won't see anything." The student pointed toward the back mountain behind Nuoding Academy. "I heard that new work-study student is very arrogant. That first-year girl with the rabbit Martial Soul is really formidable. They all call her Sister Xiao Wu. It seems she was the one who started this." "Understood, Boss Su." Xiao Chenyu wiped the blood from his face and kicked several of his companions. "Stop playing dead. Get up and greet Boss Su." Wang Sheng's Martial Soul was War Tiger, and his Soul Power was around Rank Eight. Beast Martial Souls were relatively tough and durable, able to withstand more hits. If he could get close, Wang Sheng's chances of winning would be very high. Looking at the child before him, five or six years younger than himself, Xiao Chenyu's legs went weak. Though he was several years older than Su Xing, he felt that even a hundred of himself combined might not be this child's match. Liu Long's Martial Soul was a staff, and his Soul Power was around Rank Eight. He was not considered weak in Nuoding Academy. Hearing this, Xiao Chenyu nodded repeatedly. Several of his subordinates were already lying on the ground. Su Xing had said the same thing before beating them up, but at the time, Xiao Chenyu had taken it as a joke. Su Xing casually stopped a student. After saying that, the student hurried toward the back mountain. Xiao Chenyu led Liu Long, Ling Feng, several other lackeys, and a group of noble students gathered around him. With an extremely arrogant expression, he looked at Xiao Wu and the others. "Little rabbit from first year, why did you call me to the back mountain? Don't tell me you want to fight?" "Let's go. Class is about to start. You few, come to class with me." Su Xing patted Xiao Chenyu and the others on the shoulders, signaling for them to follow him to class. Although they were in different grades, their classrooms were in the same building.
