First Meeting with the Old Rabbit

Arriving at Dormitory Seven for Work-Study Students, Chen Feng and Tang San pushed open the door and entered.

It was a spacious room, nearly three hundred square meters in size, with fifty beds inside. However, there were only beds; just eleven of them had bedding. At that moment, seven or eight children between the ages of eight and twelve were noisily gathered inside.

"Tsk, a Dormitory." Chen Feng muttered with some distaste.

"It's free, so don't complain." Tang San walked in first, with Chen Feng following behind him.

"Are you two new Work-Study Students?" An older, burly child walked over.

"What are your names? What are your martial souls?"

"My name is Chen Feng. My martial soul is a sword, and my Innate Soul Power is level ten. This is my friend Tang San. He also has Innate Full Soul Power. May I ask what guidance you have for us?" Chen Feng spoke first.

Slapping adults in the face was somewhat entertaining, but bullying children was no fun. So before Tang San could speak, he laid out their situation, only leaving out Tang San's martial soul.

Sure enough, upon hearing that the two before him both possessed Innate Full Soul Power, Wang Sheng immediately backed down.

"I wouldn't dare offer any guidance. I just want to tell you that us Work-Study Students have always been looked down upon by the other students. If we don't want to be bullied, we have to stick together. The strongest among us Work-Study Students is our boss.

"You both have Innate Full Soul Power. Would you be willing to be our bosses?"

"If someone bullies you, I can step in and protect you. But forget about being a boss." Tang San had no interest in being one. Carrying his school uniform, he walked to an empty bed. "Don't we have any bedding?"

"We're all Work-Study Students. Our tuition has already been waived, so how could they waive the cost of bedding too? How about you use mine?" a younger student said.

"It's fine, Xiao San. The bedding I brought is fairly large, so we can share it. Once we obtain our First Spirit Rings, we can go to Spirit Hall to collect our subsidy. It's a Gold Soul Coin." Chen Feng placed his luggage on one bed, then dragged Tang San's bed over.

"These beds make a pretty big one when pushed together. We can sleep however we want. It's fine."

"Alright, then let's obtain our spirit rings as soon as possible." Tang San nodded and began making the bed.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, suddenly became interested. Picking up the bedding, he recalled the training he had received as a conscript in his previous life and carefully folded the quilt into a neat tofu block.

"You really don't want to be bosses?" Wang Sheng watched the two making their bed with eager eyes and asked.

Chen Feng and Tang San both shook their heads. Neither of them found it particularly interesting.

Just then, someone who did find being a boss interesting arrived.

"Excuse me, is this Dormitory Seven?" A crisp voice came from the doorway.

Chen Feng turned around and saw a soft, delicate little girl standing at the door. Scratch that—an Old Rabbit.

All the students in the dormitory were boys. Upon suddenly seeing such a beautiful little girl, every one of them stared in stunned amazement.

Tang San could not help asking Wang Sheng in a low voice, "Can boys and girls live together here?"

Wang Sheng nodded and lowered his voice as well. "We're all still children, so none of the academy's dormitories separate genders. I heard they only separate them at Intermediate Soul Master Academies.

"This is really strange. There wasn't a single Work-Study Student last year, but three showed up this year. What's going on?"

Wang Sheng was still utterly confused, but Chen Feng had already spoken.

"This classmate, what's your name? Are you a Work-Study Student too?"

"Yep, I'm a Work-Study Student too. My name is Xiao Wu, as in dancing." Xiao Wu gave a sweet smile.

Tsk, she really is an uncle-killer. It's no surprise Bu Le ended up like that, Chen Feng muttered inwardly before continuing to ask,

"My name is Chen Feng, and he's Tang San. What's your Innate Soul Power?"

He did not ask what her martial soul was, because he knew Xiao Wu definitely would not tell the truth.

Innate Soul Power was different. She could not lie about that.

"I have Innate Full Soul Power." Xiao Wu's words were like a boulder crashing into water, instantly stirring up turbulent waves throughout Dormitory Seven.

"Another Innate Full Soul Power? Three Work-Study Students came this year, and all of them have Innate Full Soul Power?" The other students began chattering among themselves.

Xiao Wu heard their discussion. Her gaze swept over everyone's faces before finally settling on Chen Feng and Tang San.

"You two have Innate Full Soul Power too?" she asked curiously.

"Oh? Why don't you think it might be someone else?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.

"Because of the school uniforms." Xiao Wu pointed at Chen Feng and Tang San. "They said that three new Work-Study Students came this year, and all of them have Innate Full Soul Power. Only the three of us here aren't wearing school uniforms."

"What if we just changed out of ours?" Chen Feng asked.

"Then I guessed wrong." Xiao Wu said carelessly.

She walked in, her gaze sweeping over the beds in the dormitory before finally stopping on the double bed Chen Feng had just made.

The double bed was immaculate. Its quilt had been folded into a tofu block, and its sheets were spotless, completely unlike everyone else's messy, worn-out bedding.

Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up. "Um, I didn't bring any bedding. Could I..."

"No. Boys and girls should keep their distance." Chen Feng coldly rejected the Old Rabbit's request.

"But I'm afraid of the cold. If I don't have bedding, I'll freeze to death tonight. Boohoohoo..." Tears welled up in Xiao Wu's eyes. Her little mouth puckered, and she began crying with an aggrieved expression.

What the hell! She can cry just like that? This Old Rabbit is really something. Chen Feng was instantly dumbfounded.

The other children of Dormitory Seven had never experienced anything like this. In an instant, they scrambled to offer up their own bedding.

"Use my bedding, Xiao Wu." "I have some here too." "Use mine instead."

Xiao Wu looked at Chen Feng and Tang San's neat double bed, then at the somewhat tattered bedding of the other students. A trace of disgust appeared in her eyes.

She looked back at Chen Feng, but his face was cold and unyielding, the very picture of a sigma male.

So she could only look pitifully at Tang San, thinking that this boy might be easier to talk to.

Tang San truly did soften a little under Xiao Wu's gaze. However, the bedding on the bed was not his to begin with; Chen Feng had lent it to him. He could not use Chen Feng's things to do someone else a favor.

After thinking for a moment, Tang San said to Xiao Wu,

"Did you know that after becoming a Soul Master, you can collect a subsidy from Spirit Hall? It's a Gold Soul Coin."

"A Gold Soul Coin!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "I'll go obtain my spirit ring right now!"

"Wait, wait." Chen Feng hurried forward and grabbed Xiao Wu. "Have you decided what soul skill you want to obtain?"

"Of course I have. I want Waist Bow as my first soul skill, and I've already chosen my target Soul Beast." Xiao Wu said.

After saying that, she began excitedly explaining the effects of "Waist Bow."
