Heroes Roused to Fury

"This is the gap between a Soul Master and a Soul Warrior. Admit defeat, Xiao Wu!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's current state, Tang San called out with a hint of smugness.

Ever since obtaining his soul ring, he had never won a fight against anyone.

Today, in the Seventh Dormitory, he had regained his confidence.

Wang Sheng and the others looked at one another. It was only a simple spar—why had he used a soul skill?

And beaten his opponent into such a state!

Her entire body was covered in "ketchup"!

Xiao Wu had not actually suffered any serious injuries. The thorns on the Blue Silver Grass had merely cut her skin, leaving her covered in "ketchup" and making her look badly hurt.

It did not even count as a minor injury, let alone a serious one. It only looked frightening.

After being caught in Blue Silver Entanglement, Xiao Wu struggled for a while, grimacing in pain.

It would have been fine if she had not struggled, but her movements only caused the thorns on the Blue Silver Grass to cut more of her skin.

Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and gathered all her strength for one desperate burst.

Bang...

The Blue Silver Grass wrapped around Xiao Wu snapped apart.

"???"

Tang San, Wang Sheng, and the others were utterly dumbfounded. They involuntarily rubbed their eyes, and when they opened them again, they realized this was not a dream.

Xiao Wu had really broken free of Tang San's restraints! No, Blue Silver Entanglement!

"This soul skill isn't much after all. If it were a strength-type or defense-type Soul Master, this skill wouldn't be able to hurt them or bind them at all."

"If I condensed my first soul ring and broke through to the Soul Master stage, it wouldn't be able to hold me for even two seconds."

Xiao Wu curled her lips, her heart filled with disdain.

Without another word, she charged at Tang San again, preparing to finish off this human.

How many hundred-year Soft Bone Rabbits would he have to kill for a Soul Bone to drop?

This person absolutely could not be allowed to live!

Seeing Xiao Wu continue her attack, Tang San instantly snapped back to his senses.

His martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, a plant-type martial soul. It was understandable that Zhu Rong's flames suppressed it so badly that it could barely be used.

But this girl's martial soul was a rabbit!

"Rabbits eat grass?"

Unable to find an explanation, Tang San did not remain where he was. He stepped into Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, purple radiance flickering in his eyes.

Xiao Wu's leg came flying toward him. Tang San instantly used Mysterious Jade Hand, his palm turning jade-colored to strengthen its defensive power.

He clenched his fist and punched toward the sole of Xiao Wu's foot.

His right arm was enhanced by a Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Bone. Among Battle Soul Masters of the same rank, his strength was considered quite formidable.

Bang...

Foot and fist separated the instant they collided. Xiao Wu was sent flying backward and slammed heavily into the ground.

"Gasp..."

All the children in the room widened their eyes and sucked in a cold breath.

Wang Sheng swallowed hard and muttered:

"That was brutal. She's such a cute girl, too! I'm actually still alive..."

"Even if I go challenge Xiao Chenyu one-on-one in the future, I absolutely can't offend this guy. He has no sense of restraint when he attacks..."

Xiao Wu lay on the ground, her injured foot making her grimace in pain. She could not get up for quite some time.

"Are human children really this powerful? Damn it! If this is how it is, how am I supposed to avenge Mother?"

"And this person right in front of me actually hunted members of my clan and obtained a Soul Bone, yet there's nothing I can do..."

Thinking of this, tears streamed down Xiao Wu's face, and she began to cry.

"Wuwuwu..."

When Wang Sheng and the others saw this, their hearts broke.

"Damn Tang San! He actually made such a cute girl cry!"

They were furious, yet none of them dared make a sound.

"No, I can't just stand by and watch without doing anything! A person can't do that—at the very least, they shouldn't..."

They were all still children, with hot blood still burning in their hearts.

You could mock them for overestimating themselves, but you could not mock their passion and dreams.

They exchanged glances and nodded to one another.

Wang Sheng was the first to step forward, roaring at Tang San:

"I can't take this anymore! Tang San! You don't deserve to be our boss!"

"Exactly! It was supposed to be a friendly spar—why did you hit so hard?!"

"She's just a child!"

With everyone outraged, Tang San was instantly condemned by all.

Tang San: ???

He truly did not understand why they were saying this.

A duel between Soul Masters had always been about the strong devouring the weak.

Did they not see how viciously that girl had kicked just now?

Every one of her attacks had targeted his face, temples, and other vital spots. If even one had landed, would he, Tang San, still be standing?

All of a sudden, Tang San found Zhu Rong slightly less annoying.

"Boss, beat the crap out of him!"

"Yeah, Boss! Get him!"

Wang Sheng, who had been cursing Tang San, heard this and his face darkened. He turned to glare at the two people who had spoken.

"Zhang Mazi, Wang Goudan!"

You two really are something else!

The others also fell silent, looking eagerly at Wang Sheng.

Someone had to take the lead. Wang Sheng had the strongest Soul Power among them, so naturally, he had to be the one to do it.

Just thinking about Tang San's combat ability made Wang Sheng's scalp tingle, but he had no choice. With so many underlings watching, he could only force himself to step up.

"Tang San! You were the one who bullied a companion first!"

After turning back, Wang Sheng shouted at Tang San and began releasing his martial soul.

"War Tiger Possession!"

"Roar..."

With Wang Sheng taking the lead, the others released their martial souls as well.

They knew that if Wang Sheng charged in alone, he would only be throwing himself away. They might as well forget about honor and gang up on Tang San.

"Earth Dog Possession!"

"Sickle..."

"Wooden Club..."

They were all genuine commoners, so naturally, their martial souls were nothing impressive.

Wang Sheng's War Tiger was already among the better ones available to commoners.

"You people..."

Tang San was furious, his face turning frighteningly dark.

You forced Xiao Wu and me to duel, and now you're saying I bullied a companion?

"Heh, companions? You're not worthy of being companions to me, Tang San!"

"Trash will always be trash!"

Since these people insisted on twisting right and wrong, he could not be bothered reasoning with them anymore.

"Take my punch!"

Wang Sheng charged first, clenching his fist and swinging it at Tang San's face.

The others surged forward as well.

Fortunately, the Work-Study Student dormitory was fairly spacious. Otherwise, it truly could not have accommodated so many people "dueling."

"A fierce tiger walks alone. Only weak jackals, cattle, and sheep gather in packs."

Tang San's expression did not change. Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track unfolded beneath his feet, and like a ghostly shadow, he drifted toward Wang Sheng...

"Thud..."

"Argh..."

"Tang San, you shameless bastard! Argh..."

"Ow... bastard! You won't come to a good end..."

Before long, the dormitory fell quiet.

Wang Sheng and the others were all lying on the ground, their bodies twitching from the pain...

Tang San calmly glanced at them without saying another word. After finding an empty bed, he began making it for himself.

Before Xiao Wu had entered, a teacher had come looking for him. After handing him the blanket Master had sent, the teacher explained his assigned work area.

"All the academy's toilets?"

Just then, with a bang, the door to Seventh Dormitory was kicked open...
