A Show of Force from Wang Sheng—Is Being Handsome a Crime?!

Because the Academic Affairs Office was on the first floor of the Main Teaching Building, Bai Ge and Tang San quickly left the building after coming out. Not far beside the Main Teaching Building was the Dormitory Area.

There was only one Dormitory Building, so it was easy to find. Bai Ge and Tang San did not spend long getting there from the Main Teaching Building.

The Dormitory Building did not have many floors, only five in total. Each floor had three rooms, and the rooms were large enough to accommodate many people.

In fact, the academy had built every dormitory so large precisely because they could house many people, making management more convenient.

Bai Ge and Tang San had been assigned to Room Seven, the seventh dormitory in the building. Since every room had a doorplate number, the two quickly found their destination—the first room on the Third Floor of the Dormitory Building. This was Room Seven. Of course, that was the teachers' official name for it; the students preferred to call it the Seventh Dormitory.

Carrying their bundles, Bai Ge and Tang San made their way to the Seventh Dormitory.

Because Bai Ge remembered this part of the story and knew they seemed to be in for a Show of Force upon entering, he deliberately hung several steps behind Tang San.

The system had not issued a mission, and there was nothing to gain from it. Bai Ge had no desire to stick his neck out for no reason.

However, Tang San knew nothing of Bai Ge's thoughts.

Having gotten several steps ahead of Bai Ge, Tang San reached the Main Gate of the Seventh Dormitory first.

When he arrived at the Main Gate, Tang San did not overthink it. He pushed it open and walked straight inside, with Bai Ge following close behind.

Even before entering, the two could hear the noise within. Once they pushed the door open, the scene inside immediately came into view.

Before Bai Ge lay an extremely spacious room, nearly three hundred square meters in size, filled with beds.

Bai Ge counted them. There were more than fifty beds in the room, but only eleven had bedding on them.

Inside, seven or eight Children between the ages of eight and twelve were playing noisily.

Hearing the door open and seeing Bai Ge and Tang San enter, an older Sturdy Boy among the children stood up and walked toward them.

"Are you the new Work-Study Students?"

The boy looked at Bai Ge and Tang San as he spoke.

"Yes."

Tang San nodded.

Though Bai Ge stood slightly behind Tang San and had tried his best to lessen his presence, he still noticed that the boy's gaze was focused mostly on him.

There was no helping it. Compared to the ordinary-looking Tang San, Bai Ge's rare Silver Hair Purple Eyes appearance was simply too eye-catching.

Bai Ge did not recognize this boy, but if he was not mistaken, this should be Wang Sheng, the one who had given Tang San a Show of Force in the original novel. But the novel had never said this guy was gay. It was obvious at a glance that Tang San was the Boss, so why was this guy staring at him instead?

Bai Ge was utterly baffled. Could it be because I'm too handsome?!

"My name is Wang Sheng. My Martial Soul is the War Tiger. I'll be a future War Soul Master, and I'm also the Boss here. Kid, what's your name? What's your Martial Soul?"

After sizing Bai Ge up, Wang Sheng withdrew his gaze from Bai Ge, turned to Tang San, and introduced himself.

"My name is Tang San. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. His name is Bai Ge, and his Martial Soul is Wisteria."

Tang San answered, introducing Bai Ge along the way.

"Why isn't this kid saying anything? He looks so delicate. Don't tell me he's some effeminate little brat?"

After hearing Tang San's introduction, Wang Sheng could not help looking at Bai Ge again, muttering to himself inwardly.

"Wisteria is fine, but your Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass? You aren't lying to me, are you? A Trash Spirit as common as Blue Silver Grass can actually be cultivated?"

Wang Sheng abruptly changed the subject, putting on an expression of extreme shock.

The other children in the dormitory burst into laughter as well, looking at Tang San as though he were an idiot.

"Could you move aside? We still have things to do."

Even with Tang San's good temper, his face darkened after being humiliated by Wang Sheng like that.

"Kid, I'm the Boss here. From now on, you have to listen to me. Got it?"

Seeing Tang San get angry, Wang Sheng revealed a faint, scheming smile.

"What Boss? Move aside. I'm not going to play this kind of boring game with you."

Tang San could not be bothered to pay attention to Wang Sheng. Ignoring him, he headed straight for an empty bed at the back of the dormitory.

"You brat..."

Wang Sheng felt both embarrassed and angry when he realized Tang San had actually ignored him.

But when he reached out to grab Tang San, Tang San evaded him in a flash with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Watching Tang San walk away, Wang Sheng clenched his fists furiously, then... turned his gaze toward Bai Ge.

"Kid, blame it on the fact that you two came together!"

Wang Sheng said bitterly as he blocked Bai Ge's path.

"Damn it, why me again? Is being handsome a crime?!"

Seeing that he was being targeted again, Bai Ge's face darkened completely. But Wang Sheng did not care what Bai Ge thought.

"Kid, take this!"

Driven by anger and embarrassment, Wang Sheng directly activated his Soul Power.

Although Wang Sheng had yet to obtain a Spirit Ring and thus could not use Martial Soul Possession, the Physique Enhancement brought by a Beast Martial Soul still gave him strength far beyond that of children his age.

This was also why, in the eyes of most Soul Masters, Beast Martial Souls were the strongest kind of Martial Soul.

As his Soul Power surged, a faint Yellow Light immediately shone from Wang Sheng's body, and the muscles all over him swelled slightly. He lunged straight at Bai Ge.

"Bai Ge, watch out!"

Tang San shouted from not far away.

But the distance was too great, and Wang Sheng was too close to Bai Ge. It was already too late for Tang San to help. Everything depended on Bai Ge himself.

"Just my luck!"

As Wang Sheng pounced, Bai Ge cursed his bad luck inwardly while quickly thinking things through.

Wang Sheng was several years older than him, sturdier in build, and possessed a Beast Martial Soul. In terms of physical strength alone, he was definitely stronger than Bai Ge at present.

Although Bai Ge had cultivated the Jade Brightness Skill, and might not necessarily lose to Wang Sheng in raw strength, there was no need for that. Attacking an enemy's strength with his own weakness would be unwise even if he won.

Compared to Wang Sheng, Bai Ge's greatest advantage was his agility!

Moreover, his Martial Soul was a Plant System Spirit, and specifically the Cloud-Soaring Vine, which possessed exceptional hardness and toughness. His best method of dealing with Wang Sheng should be to move and keep his distance, using agile footwork to pull away, then subduing Wang Sheng with the Ranged Attack capabilities of a Plant System Spirit.

His thoughts raced, and in an instant, Bai Ge had already come up with a way to Deal With Wang Sheng.

"Flash Step!"

Circulating the Bright Jade True Qi Within the body, Bai Ge watched Wang Sheng pounce and used Flash Step to evade Wang Sheng's attack, rapidly opening a Safe Distance of nearly three meters.

Seeing Bai Ge use a technique similar to Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Tang San was somewhat surprised.

"Cloud-Soaring Vine!"

Looking at Wang Sheng in the distance, Bai Ge's expression was calm as water. He silently called out in his heart and directly summoned the Cloud-Soaring Vine.

With a thought from Bai Ge, a Black-Purple Vine as thick as one and a half fingers instantly emerged from his right hand and shot toward Wang Sheng.

"Danger!"

Seeing the incoming Cloud-Soaring Vine, Wang Sheng hurriedly rolled aside. But Bai Ge was even faster. Using Flash Step, Bai Ge closed the distance again.

However, because he had rolled to evade, Wang Sheng did not notice Bai Ge approaching at all.

Once he reached Wang Sheng's side, Bai Ge immediately flicked and raised his right hand, which gripped the Cloud-Soaring Vine.

With a sharp whistle through the air, the Cloud-Soaring Vine in Bai Ge's right hand rapidly coiled around Wang Sheng, wrapping him up tightly as it spun.
