The Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit

By the time Xiao Lin and the others left Spirit Hall, it was already close to evening.

After borrowing a large number of books from Spirit Hall, Xiao Lin and Tang San merely took a look around the place where Spirit News was published.

Sure enough, Xiao Lin spotted several staff members he did not recognize.

This made Xiao Lin even less willing to collect his manuscript payment, so he could only return to Notting Academy with Tang San.

Before arriving at Notting Academy, the two observed their surroundings for quite some time. Only after confirming that no one was watching did they take their quilts from the Storage Soul Tool and enter Notting Academy together.

Afterward, the two made their way to Dorm Seven.

The instant they opened the door, Xiao Lin and Tang San heard several people crying out in pain.

"We give up, we give up! You're our Sister Xiao Wu."

Wang Sheng's pleading reached Xiao Lin's ears, and Xiao Lin frowned slightly.

She's here, she's here—the Hundred-Thousand-Year Rogue Rabbit is here.

"Who's bullying my underlings?"

Carrying his quilt, Xiao Lin entered Dorm Seven and swept his gaze around the room.

He found a little girl in a pink dress with a Scorpion Tail Braid standing directly on Wang Sheng's back, glaring provocatively at Xiao Lin.

"So you're the boss of Dorm Seven? From now on, I'm the boss. You all have to call me Sister Xiao Wu, understand?"

The Rogue Rabbit really was a fearless calf, daring to be this arrogant.

Xiao Lin chuckled. Even Tang San can't beat me, yet you still dare act so cocky.

Setting his quilt on the bed by the door, Xiao Lin met Xiao Wu's eyes directly.

In the world of Soul Masters, making eye contact meant a battle was about to begin. (Yeah, right.)

"Looks like Wang Sheng didn't tell you how terrifying I am. I'm already a Soul Master, you know?"

"Who isn't?"

Xiao Wu proudly puffed out her chest. Then, a Yellow Soul Ring lit up beneath her feet.

She already has a Soul Ring this early?

Though Xiao Lin was curious, it seemed that there was no choice but to have a fight.

"Come on. Fight me."

Xiao Lin immediately walked out of Dorm Seven and headed toward Notting Academy's field.

Xiao Wu feared neither heaven nor earth and followed right after him.

Behind them, Tang San set his quilt down beside Xiao Lin's bed and followed as well.

Wang Sheng and the others trailed at the very back.

They were extremely interested in seeing who would become the boss of Dorm Seven.

Upon reaching the field, Xiao Lin stood with his hands behind his back as a Yellow Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet.

On the somewhat dim field, Xiao Lin's Soul Ring looked especially eye-catching.

"Xiao Lin, Level 15 assault-type Soul Master. Horned Dragon Staff Soul."

"OOOOOOH!"

"Level 15! Boss is awesome!"

Xiao Lin's calm expression and movements instantly drew cheers from Wang Sheng and the others. They had a real talent for hyping up the crowd.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu shot Wang Sheng and the others an angry glare, silencing their cheers before releasing the Soul Ring beneath her feet as well.

A Yellow Soul Ring, dimmer than Xiao Lin's, instantly appeared. She still called out proudly.

"Xiao Wu, Level 12 assault-type Soul Master. Soft Bone Rabbit."

Xiao Wu imitated Xiao Lin's composed manner as she announced her Soul Power Level and Spirit, leaving Tang San stunned.

Didn't Brother Lin say the Soft Bone Rabbit was a Trash Spirit?

It can have Innate Full Soul Power too?

Or did her Spirit mutate?

Then, while no one was paying attention, Tang San used his Purple Demon Eyes, preparing to get a good look at the battle between two assault-type Soul Masters.

"Come on, come on. You attack first."

Xiao Lin crooked a finger, telling Xiao Wu to make the first move.

Naturally, Xiao Wu did not stand on ceremony. She was Level 12 fighting someone at Level 15—if she still let him attack first, wouldn't she be an idiot?

"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow."

Xiao Wu ran straight at Xiao Lin, moving incredibly fast.

The instant she approached Xiao Lin, the Soul Ring beneath her feet flashed, and a strange power surged into Xiao Wu's waist.

Then Xiao Wu leaped high into the air, intending to wrap her long legs around Xiao Lin's head.

Yet Xiao Lin remained completely still, his arms folded across his chest as Soul Power erupted from his body.

Silver-white metallic Soul Power formed a protective barrier in front of Xiao Lin, like an eggshell, preventing Xiao Wu from locking his head between her legs.

"What?"

Xiao Wu cried out in shock.

If she could not lock Xiao Lin's head, how was she supposed to use the Waist Bow to attack?

Deflected by the smooth, eggshell-like Soul Power barrier, Xiao Wu lost her balance in a moment of carelessness and nearly fell to the ground.

But at that moment, Xiao Lin unleashed an even more powerful surge of Soul Power.

It directly expanded the eggshell barrier, sending Xiao Wu flying and making her crash face-first into the ground.

"Ow!"

Xiao Wu cried out. Her little face was bright red as she stared at Xiao Lin in the distance, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She had not even managed to force Xiao Lin to summon his Martial Soul.

Thinking of Xiao Lin's powerful Soul Power barrier and his Indestructible Body, that incomparably hard Soul Power, Xiao Wu realized that she was absolutely no match for him.

For a moment, tears welled up in Xiao Wu's eyes. A misty sheen covered her large eyes, and she was on the verge of crying.

If she could not even defeat an ordinary human child, how could she avenge her mother?

Was the Soft Bone Rabbit truly a useless Martial Soul?

For a moment, Xiao Wu recalled what Wang Sheng had said when they first met.

"Lost, huh?"

"How could you possibly beat our boss?"

"Bleh, bleh, bleh!"

"Shut up, Wang Sheng, and you lot too. You may not be able to beat Xiao Wu, but you still dare insult a Soul Master?"

Xiao Lin immediately shouted. Behavior like that from Wang Sheng and his lackeys would get them badly beaten outside.

He could not be expected to keep protecting them forever.

"Yes, Boss."

"Sorry, Sister Xiao Wu."

For a moment, nearly all the lackeys bowed and apologized to Xiao Wu. Their smooth, practiced movements made Xiao Lin wonder whether Wang Sheng and the others had trained abroad somewhere.

"Alright. From now on, I'm your boss in Dorm Seven. The one who came with me is your Third Brother, and this Xiao Wu is your Sister Xiao Wu."

Xiao Lin assigned their positions casually, suddenly feeling rather bored.

So Xiao Wu's Waist Bow and Eight-Stage Throw were nothing special after all.

He had been looking forward to them for so long, thinking he had finally found someone who could dance with him.

Yet Xiao Wu could not even use the Waist Bow on him.

"Wait, I'm not convinced!"

Just as Xiao Lin was thinking this, Xiao Wu suddenly cried out that she refused to admit defeat.

If she could not beat Xiao Lin, could she not beat that scrawny little brat beside him?

"I want to fight him."

Xiao Wu pointed at Tang San with her small hand. The look of near tears was gone from her face, replaced by determination.

"Then I surrender. I'm just an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Soul Master."

Tang San did not want to fight a meaningless battle.

What would it matter even if he won?

His name already put him at a disadvantage. Even if he won second place, people would still call him Third Brother.

"Blue Silver Grass? Blue Silver Grass can cultivate?"

It was not only Xiao Wu who froze; even Wang Sheng and the others were stunned.

If Blue Silver Grass could cultivate into a Soul Master, then did that not make them trash?

"And I'm only a Support System Soul Master."

Once Tang San said that, even Xiao Wu, that Rogue Rabbit, knew there was no point in fighting. She merely snorted and turned to look at Xiao Lin.

"I will definitely defeat you."

"Impossible. The Soft Bone Rabbit isn't an assault-type Martial Soul."

Xiao Lin answered instantly. From the bottom of his heart, he did not believe the Soft Bone Rabbit was a powerful Martial Soul.

If Xiao Wu's later Soul Skills had not been so overpowered, Xiao Lin would have even doubted whether she could keep up with the Shrek Seven Devils and become one of them.

"Alright, everyone from Dorm Seven, return to your own rooms."

Xiao Lin was tired as well. At a time like this, not going to read new books would simply be a waste of time.

Before long, under Xiao Lin's lead, everyone from Dorm Seven headed back to the dormitory.

Along the way, Wang Sheng and the others were extremely excited, while Xiao Wu stared at Xiao Lin with a disgruntled expression the entire time.

In the distance beyond the training field, Tang Hao, cloaked in black and blending into the surroundings, stared blankly at Xiao Lin and the others, lost in thought.

Two brothers, plus a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast taking human form—it really was a familiar scene...

However, Tang Hao quickly sorted out his thoughts.

He had no interest in Xiao Wu. There was someone else he needed to deal with.
