Boss Lin Dagui and Newcomer Wang Sheng

Accompanied by his uncle, Wang Hongshan.

After leaving the Dean's Office, Ye Yu arrived on the third floor of the dormitory building where Dormitory Seven was located.

Before he even reached the door,

he could hear waves of noisy chatter and laughter coming from Dormitory Seven.

When he reached the entrance and looked inside,

he saw that Dormitory Seven was quite spacious, covering more than three hundred square meters, with a total of fifty beds inside.

However, only seven or eight of those beds had luggage and bedding laid out, with people sleeping in them.

The rest were bare beds.

"Hello!"

There were seven or eight work-study students gathered inside Dormitory Seven, seemingly chatting and laughing as they did so.

Thus, Ye Yu and Wang Hongshan's arrival had not caught their attention.

So Ye Yu knocked on the door and called out loudly.

Only then did the group of work-study students notice Ye Yu.

"Another newcomer?"

Upon seeing Ye Yu, a little boy in a short linen shirt, with short brown hair and quite a few freckles on his face, looked delighted.

"Um... hello, Uncle!"

"Is this Dormitory Seven? Is this little brother a newly enrolled work-study student?"

Among the work-study students, a boy who was clearly the oldest and most sturdily built stepped forward. Scratching his head, he first called Wang Hongshan uncle.

Then he asked whether Ye Yu was a work-study student assigned to Dormitory Seven.

"Hehe, then this is indeed Dormitory Seven."

Wang Hongshan chuckled. Carrying a sack containing luggage and bedding on his back, he asked,

"Can we choose any of these empty beds?"

"Yes! Yes!"

The sturdy boy nodded repeatedly.

"Xiao Yu, which bed do you think is best?"

Wang Hongshan turned and asked Ye Yu with a smile.

Ye Yu looked around, chose a bed near the window with one bed separating it from the next, walked over, and said,

"This one."

Soon, after Wang Hongshan took out the luggage and bedding and helped Ye Yu make the bed, he prepared to leave.

"Xiao Yu, make sure to study hard at the academy!"

Before leaving, Wang Hongshan could not help rubbing Ye Yu's head as he reminded him.

"Don't worry, Uncle Hongshan! I'll study hard!"

Ye Yu naturally answered earnestly.

In this life, both his martial spirit and his background were pitifully lacking.

If he wanted to become strong, he could only choose the path of changing his fate through knowledge.

How could he possibly neglect his studies?

After seeing Wang Hongshan off,

Ye Yu returned to Dormitory Seven.

The sturdy boy led the other work-study students over. Looking outside the door, he said enviously,

"Your name is Ye Yu? I'm so jealous of you!"

"Your uncle actually helped bring your luggage and bedding here, and even made your bed for you."

"When I was in first grade, my father only took me to register before leaving."

"After that, he would just drop me off at the academy gates and leave me alone."

Ye Yu smiled inwardly with some emotion.

"Uncle Hongshan is indeed very good to me."

"Oh, right!"

As if he had remembered something, the sturdy boy grew serious and said,

"My name is Lin Dagui, and I'm the boss of Dormitory Seven!"

"According to the rules of Dormitory Seven, every new arrival has to fight me!"

"If I win, you'll have to listen to me from now on."

"If you win, you'll be the new boss!"

Dormitory Seven already had such a rule in the year 2632 of the Douluo Era?

Ye Yu had not expected that.

As a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master with only Innate Level 1 Spirit Power,

Ye Yu knew full well that he was currently a complete weakling. There was no way he could defeat this Dormitory Seven boss named Lin Dagui.

"Yeah, I'm only a Blue Silver Grass Spirit Master with Innate Level 1 Spirit Power. I definitely can't beat you."

"I'll just acknowledge you as boss and listen to you from now on."

"Can't we skip the fight?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yu asked.

"No!"

Lin Dagui shook his head, looking very serious.

"This is Dormitory Seven's initiation ceremony. We have to fight!"

"Fine, then."

Ye Yu was helpless, but he had no choice.

After placing the academy uniform he had been holding on the table beside his bed,

Ye Yu walked to the entrance of Dormitory Seven and stood a short distance in front of Lin Dagui.

"You're the newcomer, so I'll let you have one move. You attack first!"

Lin Dagui crossed his arms over his chest and spoke confidently.

"Then I won't hold back, Boss Lin!"

Ye Yu did not stand on ceremony. With a serious look in his eyes, he clenched his fists. After shouting, he lunged forward in a single stride and threw a punch at Lin Dagui.

Unfortunately, Lin Dagui was already in sixth grade this year, nearly twice Ye Yu's age.

Moreover, his martial spirit was the Black Bear, and his cultivation was at Level 9 Soul Warrior.

Whether in physical ability or spirit power, he completely crushed Ye Yu!

Faced with Ye Yu's punch, Lin Dagui easily dodged aside.

Then he counterattacked.

Although cultivating the Inner Elixir Method had made Ye Yu's five senses exceptionally sharp,

against Lin Dagui's overwhelming physical prowess and cultivation, Ye Yu lasted only a few exchanges before taking a punch to the chest.

He staggered back several steps and nearly fell.

Fortunately, a work-study student caught him.

"Ye Yu! Are you okay?"

A little boy who appeared to be five or six years old, but was fairly sturdy, with short black hair and a tigerish look, steadied Ye Yu and asked.

"I'm fine!"

Ye Yu rubbed his aching chest and stood up.

"Boss Lin really is strong. I wasn't a match for him at all!"

"Of course!"

"Boss Lin's martial spirit is the Black Bear, and his spirit power is Level 9!"

The tigerish little boy said as though it were only natural, looking at Lin Dagui with admiration.

"Right, what's your name?"

"Are you also a newly enrolled work-study student?"

Ye Yu asked curiously.

"Yeah, my name is Wang Sheng. My martial spirit is the War Tiger. Like you, I'm also a work-study student who enrolled this year!"

Wang Sheng scratched his head, nodded, and grinned foolishly.

"Wang Sheng?!"

Upon hearing that name, Ye Yu could not help giving Wang Sheng a careful look.

"What is it?"

Wang Sheng looked somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm, I think both your martial spirit and your name sound pretty imposing."

"Maybe one day, you can become the boss of Dormitory Seven just like Boss Lin!"

Ye Yu rubbed his chin, smiled, and said.

"Really?"

Wang Sheng scratched his head, growing excited and happy.

"Ye Yu, congratulations on passing Dormitory Seven's ceremony. From now on, you're a member of Dormitory Seven."

Lin Dagui walked over, smiled, and patted Ye Yu on the shoulder.

"As work-study students, there are many things we need to be careful about at the academy."

"Come on, it's lunchtime. Let's talk while we head to the cafeteria."

On the way, Lin Dagui told Ye Yu about the things he needed to watch out for as a work-study student at Nuoding Academy.

Cleaning the academy every day was the most basic requirement.

Besides that, the most important thing was figuring out how to avoid provoking the Noble students as much as possible.

There was no helping it!

As work-study students, they truly could not afford to offend those young masters!

Following Lin Dagui and the other work-study students, Ye Yu arrived at the cafeteria.

Perhaps his luck was not bad.

Unlike Tang San in the novel, Ye Yu did not run into Noble students provoking him.

After they finished lunch together,

Ye Yu asked Lin Dagui whether Nuoding Academy had a library.

And whether the library had any books related to Soul Warriors and soul beasts.
