You're the Boss of Dorm Seven Now

At the entrance to Dorm Seven, Huo Yuhao was about to knock when he heard a loud bang from inside the dorm.

After a moment's thought, Huo Yuhao did not knock. He simply pushed the door open and walked in.

The first thing he saw was a boy sprawled on the floor, while Tang San still held the pose of having thrown a kick.

Were they fighting?

Huo Yuhao looked around the dorm. It was an enormous room, nearly three hundred square meters, with fifty beds inside. However, only eleven of them had bedding.

The boy on the floor hurriedly climbed to his feet, looked at Huo Yuhao, and asked, "Are you a new Work-Study Student too?"

Huo Yuhao nodded.

The boy looked at Tang San and said, "You beat me, so from now on, you're the boss of Dorm Seven. Now that there's a newcomer, give him a show of strength."

Huo Yuhao frowned at that. They were only a bunch of ten-year-old children, yet they were already forming cliques and trying to intimidate newcomers?

Tang San shook his head. "You do it if you want. I'm not interested."

After thinking for a moment, the boy walked over to Huo Yuhao. "My name is Wang Sheng. What's yours?"

Huo Yuhao said nothing. He untied his bundle and tossed it onto an empty bed nearby. Then he looked at Wang Sheng and said, "Come on. Let me see how impressive your show of strength is."

Huo Yuhao was a genius himself, so naturally he had his pride. The boy before him was at most Level Ten and had only one Soul Ring. Huo Yuhao was already Level Seven. It was not as though he could not fight him.

Of course, with Tang San present, he could not use the Tang Sect's methods. Still, Huo Yuhao possessed extensive combat experience. After three months of relentless training, coupled with an ample supply of food, his body had become exceptionally strong. Compared with three months ago, he was practically a different person.

Wang Sheng smiled. "Don't get mad. Every Work-Study Student who comes here has to go through this. Other students already look down on us, so we have to stick together. If you can beat me, you'll be the boss of Dorm Seven."

Huo Yuhao said flatly, "Stop talking. We'll discuss it after the fight."

"Fine!" Wang Sheng's expression sharpened as he suddenly threw a punch at Huo Yuhao.

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, Wang Sheng's movements seemed to slow considerably. With one glance, Huo Yuhao could think of at least ten ways to defeat him. He chose the simplest one.

Huo Yuhao twisted his upper body aside and dodged Wang Sheng's punch. Then he snapped out a kick, his leg lashing like a scorpion's tail as it struck Wang Sheng's chest from an unexpected angle!

Bang!

Wang Sheng staggered back several steps before dropping onto the floor. His chest felt tight, and he nearly could not catch his breath.

Seeing Huo Yuhao defeat Wang Sheng in one clean move, Tang San's pupils abruptly contracted.

He silently ran through the exchange in his mind and realized that, without Hidden Weapons, he could not defeat this handsome boy either.

Even with Hidden Weapons, it would only be an even match. At a distance of more than three meters, he was confident he could win. But if the distance closed to within two meters, he would undoubtedly lose!

The timing of that kick had been flawless. Wang Sheng could not evade it, and neither could Tang San!

Sitting on the floor, Wang Sheng began to question his life. Were all new students this powerful now?

One came along whom he could not beat, then another came along whom he could not beat either...

Against the previous kid, he had at least exchanged a few moves. But this boy had defeated him with a single kick...

In terms of strength, this boy was actually weaker than him. But when it came to grasping the right moment, Wang Sheng could never hope to match him!

Huo Yuhao walked over to Wang Sheng and held out a hand.

Wang Sheng froze briefly, then smiled. "Thanks."

Taking Huo Yuhao's hand, he pulled himself to his feet.

Huo Yuhao withdrew his hand and asked, "Your bedding doesn't look standardized. Did you all buy it yourselves? Doesn't the school provide bedding?"

Wang Sheng shook his head. "The school provides bedding? They might as well just hand you a dorm! Why would the school care about that? We brought all our bedding from home... If you don't have any, I can lend you some."

"No need." Huo Yuhao shook his head, intending to go out later and buy a set of bedding.

He still had some money on hand, so buying basic necessities would not be a problem.

Wang Sheng said seriously, "Little brother... uh, I still don't know your name. Since you beat me, you'll be the boss of Dorm Seven from now on."

Huo Yuhao said, "My name is Huo Yuhao. Didn't Tang San beat you just now? Don't tell me you're going to make us fight each other, and whoever wins gets to be the boss?"

Wang Sheng looked at Tang San and smiled. "Tang San doesn't seem willing to be the boss... Yuhao, you should do it. Don't think being the boss is something enjoyable. Look at me..."

As he spoke, Wang Sheng rolled up the sleeve of his School Uniform, revealing seven or eight bluish-purple bruises on his arm.

Wang Sheng said, "All us Work-Study Students come from poor families. Since there are so few of us, people from the other dorms bully us. If we don't band together for warmth, we simply won't survive. The boss of Dorm Seven has to stand up for the brothers. This isn't an easy job; it's a responsibility."

Tang San shook his head, making it clear that he truly did not want to be the boss.

Hearing that, a faint smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's face. "Fine. If anyone bullies—"

Before he could finish, a crisp voice rang out from the dorm entrance. "Excuse me, is this Dorm Seven?"

Huo Yuhao turned toward the voice.

It was a pretty little girl of around six years old. Her lovely face was fair with a rosy tint, soft and tender like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite.

Her clothes were simple and not at all luxurious, but they were clean and tidy.

Her long black hair was tied into a scorpion braid that hung past her hips, while her large, watery eyes brimmed with curiosity.

Wang Sheng was stunned by the little girl's beauty, but he quickly recovered and nudged Huo Yuhao. In a low voice, he said, "Boss, hurry up and give her a show of strength!"

Then he muttered under his breath, "This is really strange. There wasn't a single Work-Study Student last year, but three showed up all at once this year..."

Huo Yuhao felt rather troubled. If it were a boy, it would be fine to give him a beating. But such a pretty little girl? If he punched her, she would probably cry for a long time.

The little girl blinked her big eyes. Seeing that no one responded, she looked up at the Dorm Seven sign on the door again and smiled. "Hello, my name is Xiao Wu. Wu as in dancing!"

Holy shit!

Huo Yuhao instinctively took a step back, his expression filled with shock.

Xiao Wu?

Wu as in dancing?

Wasn't that Mother-in-law's catchphrase?

Tang San... Xiao Wu...

So this was where they had met...

Huo Yuhao had not expected to encounter his past-life father-in-law and mother-in-law one after another in a single day.

Good thing I didn't just lay a hand on her, otherwise...

Huo Yuhao shuddered at the thought, but then he remembered that Tang San was only six years old. Even with Innate Full Soul Power, he was merely Level Ten, and Xiao Wu was Level Ten as well. They might not even be able to beat him. Even if he had made a move, it seemed there would not have been any consequences...
