Zhou Qing vs. Xiao Wu

Xiao Wu returned to Dormitory Seven carrying a brand-new pink set of bedding. After greeting everyone, she spread it out on the bedboard.

After making her bed, Xiao Wu noticed that two of the work-study students had changed into new bedding. She immediately narrowed her eyes and demanded of them, "Well, well! You actually dared to deceive Sister Xiao Wu! You had new bedding and didn't take it out!"

"That's not it!"

The two work-study students hurriedly explained what had happened.

After hearing them out, Xiao Wu narrowed her eyes and swept her gaze back and forth between Zhou Qing and Tang San. "Innate Full Soul Power? You two have pretty good talent. Come on, shall we have a match?"

As the big sister of the Star Dou Great Forest, with the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape protecting her, she naturally feared nothing. Only after other super Soul Beasts whose cultivation exceeded a Hundred Thousand Years appeared did her status plummet...

Now that she had come to the human world, everyone else was too weak to take a beating. These two fellows with Innate Full Soul Power looked like they could take a punch.

"Alright."

Zhou Qing agreed.

Tang San, however, looked puzzled. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

But Zhou Qing understood that with Xiao Wu's temperament, now that she knew about their strength, if he refused, she would probably keep coming to trouble them.

They arrived at the rear of the academy.

There was an open patch of ground covered in Blue Silver Grass.

Rubbing her wrists, Xiao Wu grinned as she asked the two of them, "Who's going first? Or are you both coming at me together?"

"I'll go!"

Zhou Qing stepped forward first, his expression solemn.

"Then come on."

Xiao Wu did not even summon her Martial Soul. She stepped out, moving like a Rabbit in a Dash. Each step carried her three to five meters, and in only three steps, she crossed the fifteen-meter distance and arrived before Zhou Qing.

So fast!

Zhou Qing was secretly startled. He raised a hand to grab her shoulder.

But Xiao Wu seemed to have anticipated it. With a giggle, she abruptly stopped, using the momentum of her run to pivot on her left leg. Her body spun, and her right leg lashed out like a whip, kicking straight at Zhou Qing's waist.

Smack!

The kick landed solidly.

Enduring the pain, Zhou Qing straightened up and grabbed Xiao Wu's right ankle. Then, his entire body began to spin.

Great Windmill!

Although Zhou Qing did not have much combat experience, he was a boy, and his physique was naturally stronger than a girl's. On top of that, he possessed Level Ten soul power, so he was considerably stronger than Xiao Wu. Clamping her leg, he actually began spinning her around.

With her body suspended in midair and her other leg also caught by Zhou Qing and pinned against his waist, Xiao Wu spun faster and faster like a giant top.

Xiao Wu felt as if her feet were tightly clamped in iron pincers, impossible to break free from. On top of that, being flung around by Zhou Qing left her temporarily unable to exert any strength.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu practiced Soft Technique and might even have already obtained her First Soul Skill, Waist Bow. Her neural reactions were sharp enough that her Brain had not yet become dizzy.

But if this continued, she would faint too.

Zhou Qing, however, was in better condition. The Innate Internal Scripture Chart cultivated Essence, Qi, and Spirit together. As his soul power circulated, it kept his Brain clear. Even though he had little soul power at present, he could still maintain a clear consciousness.

No! This guy is strong, and his endurance is good too. If this keeps going, I won't be able to take it anymore!

Xiao Wu inwardly cursed Zhou Qing as a beast and decided she could not let this continue. She twisted and flung her head, and her long Scorpion Tail Braid wrapped around Zhou Qing's neck, since he did not dare let go with either hand.

Then!

Xiao Wu pulled!

Thud!

The spinning momentum caused the Scorpion Tail Braid to coil continuously around Zhou Qing's neck. As Xiao Wu's braid tightened and pulled, her upper body bent backward, arching into a bow. Her head slammed into the back of Zhou Qing's head, and the two fell to the ground together.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's legs were still clamped against Zhou Qing's waist, but her upper body had passed through beneath Zhou Qing's crotch and arched into a semicircle. The backs of their heads pressed together.

The two formed a ""-shaped configuration.

Xiao Wu was below, using her soft waist to support Zhou Qing above her.

The work-study students were dumbfounded by the sight.

They never imagined that a fight could end with two people tied together in such a strange position.

Smack!

In the end, Zhou Qing's neck was bound by Xiao Wu's Scorpion Tail Braid, making it difficult for him to breathe. He let go, allowing Xiao Wu's legs to fall, while he followed the motion and lay across her back.

Xiao Wu's face was also flushed red.

Not from embarrassment, but because her Qi and Blood were not flowing smoothly.

With her body's flexibility, striking that backward-twisted pose was actually easy for her. But with her feet clamped by Zhou Qing and her Scorpion Tail Braid wrapped around his neck, while her chest pressed against the ground and she had to support Zhou Qing's weight, the pressure was simply too great. She had nearly stopped breathing.

Now that Zhou Qing had released her, she had little strength left and could only let him lean against her back.

Tang San immediately went over, pushed Zhou Qing's body aside, untangled the Scorpion Tail Braid from his neck, and helped him up. "Are you alright? I told you to learn Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track."

In Tang San's view, if Zhou Qing knew Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, how could he have been put in such a passive position?

"No problem."

Zhou Qing also realized how severely lacking he was in actual combat experience.

At that moment.

Xiao Wu rolled over from the ground and sat up, her complexion looking much better. She shouted at Zhou Qing, "That doesn't count! You were being shameless!"

"How about we call it a draw?" Zhou Qing had no intention of continuing to bicker with her and decided to yield. "We can spar more in the future and improve together. What do you think?"

When it came to actual combat.

Xiao Wu's combat experience... might not be applicable to humans, but she had still transformed from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Even at worst, her hand-to-hand skills were better than his. Sparring with her regularly could help him build experience and draw useful parallels.

"Then it's settled!"

Xiao Wu sprang to her feet, looked at Tang San, and crooked a finger at him. "Your turn, Little San."

Zhou Qing gave Tang San a push.

After shooting Zhou Qing a resentful look, Tang San could only step forward. "You've used up some energy, haven't you? I don't want to take advantage of you. How about we call it a draw too?"

"We haven't even fought. How can that be a draw? Besides, there aren't that many fair fights in this world. So come on!"

To Zhou Qing's surprise, Xiao Wu was actually capable of saying something so philosophical!

No!

Zhou Qing quickly figured out the key.

Although Xiao Wu was protected by the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, she still lived within the Star Dou Great Forest. She had likely long grown accustomed to seeing low-level Soul Beasts slaughter one another.

For Xiao Wu, saying such words was perhaps only natural, because the land where she lived constantly played out the law of the jungle.

"Alright."

Tang San did not have Zhou Qing's God's eye view, but Xiao Wu's words did deepen his impression of her. At the very least, his favorability toward her rose slightly...
