Although he had no improper thoughts toward Xiao Wu, having read the original story, he would never allow her to fall into Tang San's clutches...
Suddenly, Xiao Wu put one hand on her hip and pointed first at Yu Xiaogang, then at Tang San, sneering.
"You old bastard, one look tells me you're no good."
"And you, Tang San, right?"
"You've been staring at me with those lecherous eyes since earlier. You can't be anything good either."
"Do you really think I'm just a child and that easy to fool?"
Xiao Wu's grown-up words, paired with her hands-on-hips pose, made her look exceptionally adorable and charming.
The surrounding male students howled nonstop, while the female students were endlessly envious. This only made her words sound all the more piercing. Yu Xiaogang and Tang San both twitched at the corners of their mouths, their gazes filled with resentment.
At that moment, Xiao Wu looked at Jin Lingfeng beside her with a sweet smile and asked in a coquettish tone,
"Big brother, can you accompany me into the academy to register?"
"It's my first time here. I'm so scared all by myself..."
Jin Lingfeng understood. Xiao Wu was a Hundred Thousand Year Rogue Rabbit; he certainly did not believe her words.
But since he intended to make a move against Yu Xiaogang and extract his memories to bring back for Bibi Dong to see, nighttime would be the best opportunity.
He smiled and nodded.
"No problem, Xiao Wu. Let's go in."
Xiao Wu beamed and walked beside Jin Lingfeng, the two moving forward shoulder to shoulder.
She subconsciously stretched out her delicate hand, wanting to hold his, but he unexpectedly avoided it. Xiao Wu felt a little disappointed and hurriedly pretended that nothing had happened...
Unwilling to accept this, Tang San hurriedly rushed in front of Xiao Wu and blocked their path, saying excitedly,
"Xiao Wu, you and I both have Innate Full Soul Power. I challenge you!"
"If you lose, you'll have to take the same teacher as me!"
All the students cast worried looks at Xiao Wu.
Although Tang San had taken a useless man as his teacher, he possessed Innate Full Soul Power, had already obtained his first soul ring, and had reached level 12 Soul Power.
How could such a delicate little girl possibly be his opponent?
Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back, continuing to put on an unfathomable air. Inwardly, he grew increasingly satisfied with Tang San as his student.
Xiao Wu's pretty eyes narrowed slightly. As a Hundred Thousand Year Soft Bone Rabbit who had undergone Humanoid Transformation, her soul rings would automatically form before level 70. Her Soul Power was now level 13, so naturally, she was not afraid of Tang San!
But just then, a broad, warm hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her backward...
Jin Lingfeng released Xiao Wu and stepped in front of her. Looking coldly at the resentful Tang San, he said,
"Tang San, since you so badly want Xiao Wu to take Yu Xiaogang as her teacher, defeat me first..."
Before he could finish, Tang San cut him off with a sneer.
"Who do you think you are?"
"What right do you have to fight me on Xiao Wu's behalf?"
Tang San made no effort to hide his hatred for Jin Lingfeng. Seeing the other man hold Xiao Wu's hand earlier had made him extremely uncomfortable.
At that moment, Xiao Wu made a face at Tang San and snapped,
"Tang San, it's not your place to interfere in my affairs."
"We'll do as big brother says. As long as you can defeat him, I'll take this Yu whatever-gang as my teacher!"
Then Xiao Wu walked to Jin Lingfeng's side, stuck out her pink tongue, and said coquettishly,
"Big brother, you have to do your best!"
Jin Lingfeng looked at the adorable Xiao Wu and nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry, Xiao Wu. Tang San isn't my opponent..."
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly and said to Jin Lingfeng,
"You should be around eleven or twelve years old, while Tang San is only six."
"When it comes to Soul Power, he may very well be weaker than you. This is unfair..."
Jin Lingfeng shrugged indifferently.
"How about this? I won't use my martial soul or Soul Power against Tang San."
"If I win, the two of you will kneel before me in public and kowtow once."
"If I lose, I'll let Xiao Wu take you as her teacher. How about it?"
A glimmer flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes. He felt this was feasible and signaled to Tang San beside him that he could accept.
Immediately, Tang San sneered as he stepped before Jin Lingfeng and shouted in a low voice,
"Tang San, level 12 Control System Battle Soul Master. Please instruct me!"
Right afterward, the aura of a Soul Master-level Soul Power erupted, causing all the watching students to reveal excited, envious expressions...
Xiao Wu tugged at the sleeve of the man in white and said worriedly,
"Big brother, be careful. He's not weak..."
Jin Lingfeng smiled faintly at Xiao Wu, signaling that she need not worry. He raised his hand, subconsciously wanting to stroke her head.
But just as his palm was about to touch Xiao Wu, he realized that such an action was inappropriate and might cause her to misunderstand. He quickly withdrew his hand with an awkward smile.
For some reason, a trace of disappointment flashed through Xiao Wu's eyes...
"Tang San, come at me. Don't waste time."
Jin Lingfeng cracked his fingers and spoke teasingly.
Tang San flew into a rage.
"Hmph, I know you're strong."
"But if you don't use Soul Power or your martial soul, you're definitely no match for me!"
"Take this!"
"First Soul Skill, Bind!"
Following Tang San's low shout, long Blue Silver Grass spread out from beneath his feet and coiled toward Jin Lingfeng, binding him in the blink of an eye!
Yet just as Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were feeling pleased with themselves, the surrounding students were completely stunned, and Xiao Wu let out a scream, Jin Lingfeng... moved!
With a slight tremor of his body, the Blue Silver Grass binding him instantly shattered into pieces, and his entire body vanished from where he stood!
"Where... where did he go?!"
Some of the surrounding students cried out in alarm, but the next moment, the white-clad figure appeared before Tang San without warning. His five fingers clenched into a fist, which he slowly thrust forward.
It looked like an ordinary punch, yet it blasted Tang San more than ten meters away. Tang San hit the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell unconscious...
For a moment, the entrance to Nuoding Academy was deathly silent. Not a single sound could be heard.
At that moment, the handsome man in white became the focus of the entire crowd, shocking everyone!
Behind him, Xiao Wu's gaze became entranced. In her eyes, the man's figure grew tall and stalwart, filled with a sense of security...
"Yu Xiaogang, I won."
"According to our previous agreement, you and Tang San both need to kowtow to me once."
"But he's unconscious now. As his teacher, shouldn't you kowtow in his place?"
Jin Lingfeng looked at Yu Xiaogang teasingly, concealing the coldness in his heart.
Once the night was quiet and deep, it would be time for him to visit Yu Xiaogang, settle the score, and extract his memories!
Yu Xiaogang's face alternated between green and white. He guessed that Jin Lingfeng's true strength might have already surpassed level 30, so he could only suppress his rage for the time being.
Thus, he directly knelt down and began kowtowing amid the surrounding students' mockery and ridicule.
Who would have thought that just as he lowered himself, a powerful foot stepped onto his head? It was Jin Lingfeng!
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened like water, but in the end, he could only endure the humiliation and kowtow twice before supporting Tang San as they slunk away...
After that, Jin Lingfeng and Xiao Wu exchanged smiles and entered Nuoding Academy together, heading toward the Academic Affairs Office.
The students at the entrance soon dispersed, but in a corner stood an old man dressed in black and a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a short palace-style dress.
They were Holy Dragon Douluo and Bibi Dong, watching Jin Lingfeng and Xiao Wu gradually disappear into the distance...
Jin Lingfeng and Xiao Wu arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.
The director of academic affairs was a middle-aged man with a kind face.
He already knew about what had happened at the entrance and had long disliked Yu Xiaogang.
He warmly handled Xiao Wu's enrollment procedures, assigned her to the work-study student Dorm Seven, and treated Jin Lingfeng with great respect as well.
Finally, Jin Lingfeng asked the director for permission to stay at the academy for one night so he could keep Xiao Wu company. The director readily agreed and told him to register at the teachers' dormitory on the eastern side.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu beamed with joy. She kept looking at Jin Lingfeng beside her with a sweet smile, her large eyes curving into crescents...
After leaving the Academic Affairs Office, Xiao Wu did not immediately head to Dorm Seven. Instead, she took a walk around the training field with Jin Lingfeng.
The girl wore an adorable scorpion braid and moved with light, graceful steps on her long legs, brimming with youthful vitality.
The young man was handsome and extraordinary, his noble bearing seeming inborn, stunning everyone around him.
After a long while, they sat down on the grass.
Xiao Wu tilted her adorable little head and asked with a grin,
"Big brother, can you tell me your name?"
Jin Lingfeng was considering his plan to settle accounts with Yu Xiaogang that night. Smiling, he replied,
"Xiao Wu, my surname is Jin, and my given name is Lingfeng."
Xiao Wu blinked her lively eyes and said excitedly,
"Big brother, should Xiao Wu call you Brother Feng or Brother Jin from now on? Which do you think sounds better?"
"Brother Feng? Sounds like 'crazy guy'? Uh... Brother Jin it is."
Jin Lingfeng broke into a sweat. Looking at the adorable Xiao Wu before him, he recalled his beloved Qian Renxue at the age of six, with her proud and spoiled manner.
