Beat Tang San Until He Bled

"Crackle..."

As Lightning Release collided with Xuan Yu Hand, the white barrier covering Tang San's hand was instantly pierced, making his arm convulse as a pained cry escaped his mouth.

A mere level 10 Xuan Yu Hand dared to clash with Lightning Release? That was practically asking to die.

The instant Tang San began convulsing, Luo Chen threw a punch straight into his nose. Pfft...

Tang San collapsed to the ground with a bloody nose. He did look quite decent, dressed in a presentable blue outfit much like in the anime, but with blood streaming from his nose, he looked utterly pathetic.

Tang San was a transmigrator, after all. How could he swallow such humiliation? Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "You're courting death."

Luo Chen suddenly sensed something wrong. Tang San had hidden weapons. He immediately activated his Sharingan and, sure enough, saw Tang San reach toward his waist and pull out his first hidden weapon—the Sleeve Arrow.

"This won't do." Luo Chen was immediately startled. He knew that Tang San's Sleeve Arrow was powerful enough to penetrate low-level Great Soul Masters. He was only level 10 right now, so he probably couldn't withstand it. It wouldn't kill him in one shot, but he would definitely be injured.

"You've already angered me..." Tang San indeed took out the Sleeve Arrow and aimed it at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen hurriedly grabbed Xiao Wu's hand. That show-off liked Xiao Wu, so he definitely wouldn't hurt her. Xiao Wu seemed to realize something as well and proactively stood in front of Luo Chen. Looking at Tang San, she said, "What are you doing? This was just a normal sparring match. You lost, so you should acknowledge Chen Ge as the boss of our Dorm 7. What is that thing you're holding?"

"Move aside. This has nothing to do with you." Tang San stared coldly at Luo Chen. Of course he was furious. He had been punched into a bloody nose; even in his previous life, he had never suffered such embarrassment. Blood was still smeared beneath his nose.

Luo Chen thought it over. No, he couldn't completely fall out with Tang San yet. It would be more interesting to scheme against Tang San from the shadows. Tang San still had the Clear Sky Hammer; even now, Luo Chen might not truly be able to kill him.

Even if he killed him now, he wouldn't survive past one episode. The Clear Sky Douluo had always been watching Tang San. Trading his life one-for-one with Tang San like this would not complete the mission at all.

That was right, hunting missions had ranks too. Killing a protagonist while he was still a child counted as the lowest-tier hunt. If one had just become a hunter, completing such a low-tier hunt could still earn points. But Luo Chen was already an advanced hunter. Doing this kind of low-tier hunt would damage his reputation. No, he had to complete a perfect hunt.

Only after completing a perfect hunt in Douluo could he take on higher-end missions later, such as killing Xiao Yan from Battle Through the Heavens, Ye Fan from Zhe Tian, Ji Ning from The Desolate Era, Han Li from A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality... Those were all high-level missions. If he got demoted, he would have to return to Earth and kill protagonists from rich-playboy novels. Those missions were the most boring.

After thinking about it, Luo Chen quickly pretended to apologize. "You were the one who suggested a duel. We were only sparring, and I accidentally hit you just now. Sorry about that."

Xiao Wu added, "Exactly. You were only sparring, not actually fighting."

Seeing Luo Chen apologize, Tang San slowly lowered the Sleeve Arrow and took out some paper from the side to wipe his nosebleed. Luo Chen secretly sneered. Show-off. You'll suffer plenty in the future.

But Luo Chen had not expected Xiao Wu to suddenly walk over to Tang San, use some paper to help wipe his nosebleed, and ask for his name. "My name is Tang San..."

"Mhm, I'm Xiao Wu..."

The two of them actually started chatting.

This script is wrong. How did I end up handing Xiao Wu over to him? I've already beaten Tang San into such a miserable state, and Xiao Wu still has a favorable impression of him? Is this the protagonist's halo?

No, no. Looking at Xiao Wu's fair legs, Luo Chen thought, it's fine if Xiao Wu fools Tang San, but if she really dares to like him, I'll have to give this rabbit a good shock.

However, Luo Chen did not say anything at that moment. After packing up his belongings, he saw Tang San outside with the bedding Grandmaster had given him. Luo Chen quickly took Xiao Wu's hand, led her out of the dormitory, and brought her to a corner.

"What are you doing, Chen Ge..." Xiao Wu really was a little temptress. Her voice was so soft and tender that even Luo Chen, who had lived through hundreds of lifetimes, felt his childish heart stirred.

Luo Chen gently wrapped an arm around Xiao Wu's slender waist and asked quietly, "Why were you acting so nice to that Tang San just now?"

Xiao Wu thought for a moment. "Him? I think he's pretty nice, so I wanted to help him..."

"Nice my ass..." Luo Chen was just about to get angry when inspiration suddenly struck.

What was the objective of Ultimate Hunt? To make the protagonist commit suicide in extreme agony. And what could be more painful than being deceived by the woman he loved most and being cuckolded?

This Luo god really is a genius.

Luo Chen immediately pinched Xiao Wu's little cheek. "Good job. Since you treated him like that today, Tang San will definitely think you like him a little. Remember, you need to act like you like him. If he asks you to become his little sister later, agree to it. You need to truly treat him like an older brother, understand?"

"Ah, act like I like him? Why?" Xiao Wu pursed her little lips. "I don't need to act. I think he's quite nice."

"No..." Luo Chen said coldly, and a faint thread of lightning suddenly appeared in his hand.

Xiao Wu's delicate body shuddered. "What are you doing, Chen Ge?"

Luo Chen said seriously, "You have to act like you like Tang San and become his little sister, but you can't really like him. You're my girl. If you dare to truly fall for him, I'll shock you hard."

"Ah, don't use that. Xiao Wu is so scared. Xiao Wu will behave." Xiao Wu suddenly put on a pitiful expression.

Luo Chen immediately withdrew the lightning, took Xiao Wu's hand, and gave it a gentle kiss. "Mhm, that's more like it. In front of Tang San, you need to act like you like him and become his little sister, but you can't let him touch you. And don't reveal our relationship in front of him, understand?"

"Like that..." Xiao Wu blinked and said foolishly, "Xiao Wu understands. But Chen Ge, if you like Xiao Wu, why are you making Xiao Wu become his little sister too?"

Luo Chen lightly patted Xiao Wu on the head. "Kids shouldn't ask so many questions. Just listen to me. We can be together in private, but we can't let him notice. Alright, let's go back to the dormitory. We'll say I'm your... cousin."

"Okay!" Xiao Wu nodded foolishly, though it was unclear whether she truly understood.

After they returned to the dormitory, Tang San had indeed come back. Luo Chen released Xiao Wu's hand, and Xiao Wu immediately hopped over to Tang San. "Xiao San, are you sleeping in this bed? I don't have any bedding yet, so why don't we push our beds together..."

"What?" Luo Chen was shocked inside. Was this dumb rabbit acting, or was she reciting lines? How could he possibly tolerate that?

Before Xiao Wu could finish, Luo Chen immediately came up behind her and pinched her arm. Xiao Wu finally stopped talking, glanced at Luo Chen, and said, "That hurts. What are you doing?"

Luo Chen hurriedly said, "I'm her cousin. We became acquainted through a fight, Tang San. Your skills are quite impressive too. We can spar together in the future."

The moment Tang San heard that Luo Chen was Xiao Wu's cousin, a smile immediately appeared on his face. "It's fine. I was too impulsive just now as well. Fists and kicks have no eyes; getting a little hurt during an occasional spar is nothing. I shouldn't have taken it to heart."

Oh, this show-off, Luo Chen grumbled inwardly. Outwardly, he remained polite. "Xiao Wu and I don't have bedding, so I'm taking her out to buy some. We'll be back in a while."

"Mhm... do you have money?" Tang San asked somewhat doubtfully. In his view, anyone living in the Work-Study Dormitory should be poor.

"Of course we have money. What does money even count for?" Luo Chen said generously, then took Xiao Wu and headed for the door. Just then, the teacher who had brought Tang San his bedding earlier arrived again.

"The three newly arrived first-year work-study students, I'm here to assign you your tasks..."

Just as the teacher was about to follow the original plot and assign Xiao Wu and Tang San to sweep the training ground, Luo Chen quickly said, "No need, Teacher. Xiao Wu and I won't do anything. I'll pay her tuition, so just assign everything to Tang San."

"What?" The teacher was slightly stunned. Weren't they work-study students? Why would they stay in the Work-Study Dormitory if they had money?

Luo Chen said nothing and left with Xiao Wu. Feeling around in his pocket, he realized that after paying the tuition, he did not seem to have much money left. But with his abilities, would getting some money be difficult? What a joke. How could he let Xiao Wu sweep the training ground with a loser like Tang San?

After leaving the dormitory building, Xiao Wu suddenly leaned against Luo Chen's shoulder. "You're so nice. You're buying bedding for Xiao Wu and even paying Xiao Wu's tuition. Soul Master Academy tuition is very expensive. Chen Ge, do you have that much money?"

Luo Chen replied indifferently, "No, but I can steal some. Don't worry. Xiao Wu, why did you say you wanted to put your bed together with Tang San's just now? I only told you to pretend to like him. How could you do that? How could you betray me like this?"

Xiao Wu seemed confused as well. Holding Luo Chen's hand, she said, "Xiao Wu was wrong. I don't know why I said that at the time."

She did not even know? It seemed to be the script's effect. It doesn't matter, Luo Chen thought. Since I'm here, Xiao Wu will definitely be mine. Tang San is only a show-off fool being tricked. With my methods, I'll definitely cuckold Tang San until he commits suicide together with Oscar and Dai Mubai. Then I'll have completed the mission perfectly.

Only then did Luo Chen realize that after this bout of romance with Xiao Wu, he had gained over two hundred experience points again.

Luo Chen could not help but sigh.

If I want to level up at Notting City Junior Academy, there aren't any other female characters around me right now. I can only keep bullying Xiao Wu. That female teacher from yesterday seemed pretty good too, but random female characters give too little experience. Once I'm older, I'll still have to find Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.

Thinking this, Luo Chen left the gates of Notting City Junior Academy with Xiao Wu.
