Tang San and Xiao Wu, Mutual Dislike?

Xiao Wu glanced at Wang Sheng on the floor, then looked at Tang Lan.

"Is this the Seventh Dormitory?" Xiao Wu asked. "Were you beating someone up?"

Tang Lan nudged Wang Sheng with his foot.

"He used to be the boss here. He wanted to give me a show of strength, so I knocked him down."

"So you weren't bullying anyone." Xiao Wu tilted her head and smiled. "I liked you at first sight. As long as you're not some violent maniac, it's fine~"

No need to ask.

The moderate increase in a Soul Beast's favorability had taken effect.

"My name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing. My martial soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit." Xiao Wu smiled, her eyes curving into crescents. "Please take good care of me from now on~"

Tang Lan returned her smile.

"My name is Tang Lan. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass."

"Oh?" Xiao Wu smiled. "I'm a rabbit, and Blue Silver Grass is what I eat. Looks like I naturally counter you!"

Her tone was playful, without any hint of disdain.

Tang Lan smiled and was about to speak.

But Wang Sheng beneath his feet reminded him—

"According to the rules of the Seventh Dormitory, Boss, you have to fight the newcomer."

"Are you telling me how to do things?" Tang Lan raised a brow. "What Seventh Dormitory rules? From now on, we follow my rules!"

Wang Sheng shrank back. This kid had such overwhelming presence!

Tang Lan turned to Xiao Wu with a gentle smile.

"Don't mind him. Pick a bed."

Unexpectedly,

Xiao Wu became interested.

She set her pink bundle aside and looked at Tang Lan eagerly.

"So as long as I beat you, I can become the boss of the Seventh Dormitory?"

Tang Lan smiled and nodded.

Since Xiao Wu had brought it up herself, he might as well play with her.

"Very good!" Xiao Wu said excitedly. "Be careful, here I come!"

She charged up to Tang Lan and used her flexible grappling technique to wrap herself around him.

Her legs clamped around his neck, and she arched her waist, trying to fling him away.

Unexpectedly,

Tang Lan did not even sway. He stood as steady as a mountain.

—He had already mastered the Indestructible Body, and his level exceeded hers by more than ten levels. If she could throw him, that would be a miracle.

"Are you giving me a massage? You can use a little more strength," Tang Lan teased.

Xiao Wu's smooth thighs rubbed against his neck.

It was quite comfortable.

But Xiao Wu was no fool—given such a vast difference in strength, there was no way she could win.

She leaped away and landed on the ground, pouting unhappily.

"I really don't understand how someone with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul can have strength like an ox."

"Want to learn?" Tang Lan offered generously. "I can teach you."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up!

"This kind of strength can be learned?"

"Of course." Tang Lan nodded. "A special Soul Power circulation method is all it takes."

The first three levels of the Nine Yang Divine Skill had already been exposed.

He did not mind teaching it to those around him, improving their talents and turning them into future support for himself.

"Alright! Then it's settled!" Xiao Wu said happily. "I acknowledge you as my boss!"

Tang Lan smiled and nodded.

Normally,

The Nine Yang Divine Skill was extremely rigid and yang in nature, so women could not cultivate it.

Otherwise, even the prettiest girls would grow beards, Adam's apples, and the like.

Their masculine traits would become pronounced.

However!

That was only the result of cultivating it to a profound level.

At the first level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Inner Force underwent its first transformation and became Hazy Purple Qi.

Its quality surpassed ordinary Inner Force, but it was still inferior to the Inner Force of the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

At the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill came Yi Jin Xi Sui.

It would completely transform one's body.

Only upon reaching the third level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill would one produce blazing pure-yang heat. The Inner Force would become extremely rigid and yang, nourishing one's physical body.

It would also bring out masculine traits, displaying a manly bearing.

Therefore,

As long as Xiao Wu cultivated only the first two levels of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, there would not be much of a problem.

As for if he encountered an ungrateful wretch who became an enemy?

After reaching Great Perfection, the Nine Yang Divine Skill could assimilate Inner Force of the same origin. It could be regarded as a "crippled version of the Northern Darkness Divine Art."

But a crippled version of the Nine Yang Divine Skill could not do that.

Tang Lan could simply drain that ungrateful wretch dry unilaterally—and he would even have to thank them for aiding his cultivation.

"Creak—"

The dormitory door was pushed open.

The people who had gone to buy bedding and washing supplies streamed in like a flood.

Though they were surprised to see a pretty girl,

they first returned the remaining Silver Soul Coins to Tang Lan.

Then they quickly replaced the beds, bedding, pillowcases, and the rest.

They even pushed two beds together into one large bed, determined to make Tang Lan comfortable.

After all,

with Tang Lan protecting the Seventh Dormitory in the future, they would avoid a lot of bullying.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang Lan lying on the soft large bed, then at her own small bed with nothing but a hard wooden board.

Her lovely willow-leaf brows furrowed!

Work-study students were not provided with bedding.

Seeing this, the other boys eagerly offered up their own stinky bedding.

"Use mine!"

"Take mine!"

"I've only slept on mine for two days!"

Xiao Wu's little face scrunched up!

—Did these stinky little brats not know what she was?

Then she looked at Tang Lan.

Although his clothes were somewhat tattered, his bedding and sheets were all new!

They even carried the fresh fragrance of Blue Silver Grass.

It made the rabbit want to get closer to him!

Xiao Wu immediately stepped forward, tugged at Tang Lan's sleeve, and put on a pleading expression.

"Boss Tang Lan, can we discuss something?"

Her attitude was quite good.

"Go ahead." Tang Lan nodded.

"Your bedding looks pretty big, so it shouldn't be a problem for two people to share it." Xiao Wu said openly. "How about I sleep with you?"

Tang Lan looked at the small bed beside them and nodded in agreement.

"It really isn't suitable for a girl to sleep on a hard wooden board."

He took the bundle and drew a dividing line down the middle of the bed.

"Men on the left, women on the right."

"Whoever crosses the line has to agree to one punishment condition from the other person."

"No problem?"

Seeing how considerate Tang Lan was, Xiao Wu's smile became even brighter.

Her already high favorability toward Tang Lan soared!

She had found a good person as soon as she entered the human world.

How wonderful!

However,

Tang Lan looked at the completely motionless system interface and fell into thought.

It seemed

that merely separating Xiao Wu from Tang San was not enough.

He had to make Xiao Wu completely fall for him, leaving Tang San with absolutely no possibility.

Only then would this "fortuitous opportunity" truly become his.

There was no helping it.

He had been forced to take orders and chase girls.

It was not because he was some pervert interested even in six-year-old girls!

"Creak."

The dormitory door opened, and Tang San walked in wearing a new set of clothes.

"Oh, Little Sanzi, why are you here?" Tang Lan said warmly. "This is my younger brother. You can all call him Second Brother."

The many lackeys immediately lined up, bowed, and shouted in unison—

"Greetings, Second Brother!"

Tang San calmly nodded in response—Second Brother carried no other meaning in this world.

But Tang Lan understood!

He was grinning from ear to ear.

"Brother, I was worried you might not be able to handle things." Tang San breathed a sigh of relief. "As soon as I entered the dormitory, I was forced into a fight."

There was no need to ask. He had definitely won.

Although Tang San had been messed with, and both his Soul Power Level and First Soul Ring were far inferior to what they had been at the same point in time,

he still far surpassed children his own age.

"Worried about me?" Tang Lan raised a brow. "Don't forget how we got that bag of tuition money."

Tang San nodded in agreement.

His brother could even fight wild beasts. His worries had indeed been unnecessary.

Beside them,

Xiao Wu suddenly said, "Little Sanzi, right? Do you already have your First Soul Ring?"

The others in the dormitory were all shocked upon hearing this!

Tang Lan was a work-study student who had only just enrolled. Tang San was his younger brother, so had he not also just enrolled?

And he already had his First Soul Ring?

Did that not mean—

Innate Full Soul Power?!

Tang Lan swept his sharp gaze over them and warned—

"Anyone who dares reveal Little Sanzi's situation can forget about getting by in this school!"

As he spoke,

a yellow Soul Ring rose beneath his feet, stunning everyone!

A Soul Ring!

A yellow hundred-year Soul Ring!

So,

Tang Lan also had Innate Full Soul Power?

"Yes, Boss!"

"We won't say anything!"

"Boss is mighty!"

"Boss, you talk. I'll go clean up first!"

"I'll fetch water for Boss!"

Including Wang Sheng, they all fled in a rush.

Only Xiao Wu remained, stubbornly staring at Tang San.

"I do have Innate Full Soul Power as well." Tang San looked puzzled. "How did you know?"

As he spoke,

he released his Blue Silver Grass, and a white First Soul Ring lit up.

Xiao Wu's face immediately darkened!

That was right—the aura of a Soft Bone Rabbit!

The way she looked at Tang San became extremely disgusted.

As if she were looking at a heinous, cannibalistic monster.

Then she looked at Tang Lan.

The yellow soul ring beneath his feet not only carried no trace of viciousness, but instead radiated an aura of life.

Just like...

Her Origin Soul Ring?

—When a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast took human form to cultivate and broke through the level-ten bottleneck, it did not need to hunt a soul beast. It could condense its own Origin Soul Ring.

"You still haven't told me—how did you find out?" Tang San asked.

Xiao Wu shot Tang San a disgusted glare, flicked her braided hair, and left.

Leaving Tang San utterly confused.

Tang Lan watched with a smile at the corner of his lips.

Because...

The host had made Xiao Wu develop disgust toward Tang San, seizing a moderate amount of Tang San's Luck!
