Scaring the Dorm Boss to Tears

"Boss, I'll do it!"

A sixth-year student stepped forward, chin raised as he pointed to himself. "My name is Zhu Feng. My Martial Soul is a Wild Boar, and I'm a Level 11 Assault Type Battle Spirit Master! Kid, come over and bow to our boss! From now on, if the boss tells you to go east, you don't go west!"

"Zhu Feng? The pig really has gone mad! I can't even afford pork!" Tang Jiu couldn't help making a jab at the name. If Tang Hao didn't send over more pork soon, he truly wouldn't be able to afford Thousand-Year Spirit Beast meat!

One jin cost at least one Gold Soul Coin!

"Kid, you dare insult me? Looks like I need to teach you some rules!"

Zhu Feng was furious. His surname was Zhu, and his Martial Soul was a Wild Boar, so people often mocked him. What he hated most was being associated with pigs. He wasn't a pig—he was a Wild Boar! One with tusks, okay?

He didn't hold back. He directly used Martial Soul Possession. A white spirit ring appeared, while bristles and tusks grew from his body, making him look exactly like a miniature Wild Boar.

"Kid, do you know how deep my grudge against pigs is? I used to be so poor that I couldn't afford pork!"

Tang Jiu beckoned at Zhu Feng, signaling for him to hurry up and make his move.

"Too arrogant!"

"Teach him a lesson!"

The others in the dorm watched eagerly. After all, who hadn't been bullied by older students when they first moved into the dorm? That was the rule at Nuoding Academy, letting them adapt early to the Martial Soul World where The Strong Rule!

"Savage Charge!"

The white spirit ring lit up, boosting his speed and strength. Zhu Feng truly charged at Tang Jiu like a Wild Boar, slamming into him viciously.

"This new kid is definitely going to be stuck in bed for three days!" The others secretly shook their heads, recalling their own painful experiences.

Just as everyone expected Tang Jiu to collapse on impact, he merely raised the War Hammer in his hand. With a clang, Zhu Feng rammed his head straight into the hammerhead, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.

"You cheated! You actually used a weapon!" The others were thoroughly unconvinced. It was supposed to be a spar—how could he bring out a weapon?

Tang Jiu shrugged. "Since you won't let me use the hammer, I'll put it down!"

He released the War Hammer, and it hit the ground with a loud clang. A huge stone brick beneath it cracked into a web of fissures, making everyone in the dorm shudder.

"How heavy is that hammer?"

"Not much. Just Eight Hundred Jin!" Tang Jiu smacked his lips. An Eight Hundred Jin War Hammer was already becoming awkward to use. Next time, he would probably need one around One Thousand Five Hundred Jin. Fortunately, after pig iron was forged, its volume shrank and its density increased, so no matter how heavy it became, the hammer could remain the same size.

"Eight Hundred Jin!"

"Is he even human?"

At that moment, everyone in the dorm was utterly astonished. Tang Jiu's display had thoroughly intimidated them, and they all turned their eyes toward the dorm boss.

"A Pure Strength Type Spirit Master? What's the use of strength? You'll still be controlled to death!" The dorm boss rose proudly and looked down at Tang Jiu. "Power Type Spirit Masters are perfectly countered by Control Type Spirit Masters. And unfortunately for you, I'm a Control Type Spirit Master!"

As he spoke, he spread his hand, and a green vine appeared. A yellow spirit ring emerged around his body.

"Lainter, Green Vine Martial Soul, Level 12 Control Type Weapon Spirit Master! One Yellow spirit ring!"

When Lainter announced his Martial Soul, he deliberately showed off his spirit ring as well, purely to flaunt it. His family had spent a great deal of money to hunt it for him in the Soul Hunting Forest!

A Yellow Soul Ring not only represented talent, but also status. Without a powerful family, how could the academy's teachers alone possibly secure a Yellow First Soul Ring?

"Kid, summon your Martial Soul!"

"No need. I'm afraid that if I summon it, I'll scare you to tears!" Tang Jiu shook his head and smiled.

"Kid, you're too arrogant!"

Lainter was furious. With a flick of his hand, the Yellow Soul Ring lit up, and the Green Vine rapidly grew. First Spirit Skill, Entangle activated, and thumb-thick Green Vines tightly wrapped around Tang Jiu.

"Boss is mighty!"

"Many teachers still have white ten-year spirit rings as their First Soul Ring!"

The moment they saw Lainter's Hundred-Year Soul Ring appear and Tang Jiu immediately bound without even time to react, everyone began showering him with praise.

Lainter immediately became smug. "My Green Vine is already a fairly high-grade existence among Plant Type Martial Souls. When adding my spirit ring, I specifically chose a Hundred-Year Iron Bamboo to increase its toughness. Once my Green Vine wraps around you, without One Thousand Jin of strength, you simply can't break free!"

Just as Lainter was showing off his Martial Soul and spirit ring, there was a bang. The Green Vines binding Tang Jiu all snapped apart.

The smug expression on Lainter's face instantly froze, while the people around him all sucked in a cold breath. Strength exceeding One Thousand Jin!

"Lainter, hurry up and call me boss," Tang Jiu said lazily.

"I haven't lost yet! You must have used every ounce of strength you had to break free from my Green Vine, right? But I have a Plant Type Martial Soul, so my Spirit Power Consumption is low! I refuse to believe you can break free from my next attack too!"

After his brief shock, Lainter's fighting spirit immediately flared up again. Another Green Vine appeared in his hand as he prepared to fight a battle of attrition.

"Ah, I didn't want to crush your confidence, but you insist on asking for it. Then I'll grant your wish!" A smile curled at the corner of Tang Jiu's mouth.

I wonder what his reaction will be when I use the Spirit Ring Spirit for the first time?

The Spirit Ring Spirit in his hand flew toward Lainter. The next moment, a Pig-like Scream rang out.

"Ahhh—my spirit ring is gone!"

The instant the Martial Soul encircled him, Lainter discovered that his Yellow Soul Ring had completely vanished. At first, he couldn't believe it, but when he tried to activate his spirit skill and got no response, he fell apart.

He collapsed onto the floor, fiercely pinched his thigh, and when he realized this wasn't a dream, he cried!

"My spirit ring... ahhh... it's gone... Heaven... what am I supposed to do?"

A Spirit Master losing a spirit ring was like a High-level Athlete losing both legs. Lainter's faith completely collapsed!

He was still a child under twelve, after all. He couldn't possibly stay as composed as Tang Hao and Master. Once his spirit ring was gone, he couldn't even notice that his Soul Power had been suppressed. Even so, his young heart had suffered a devastating blow.

Lainter hugged a chair and cried as though his heart had shattered.

"If you acknowledge me as your boss and handle errands like buying meals for me from now on, I'll give your spirit ring back." Tang Jiu really couldn't bear to watch any longer. It made him feel like he was bullying a little kid.

"Really? Boss!"

Lainter hurriedly got up and respectfully bowed to Tang Jiu.

"Good. Not bad!" Tang Jiu nodded and immediately withdrew the Spirit Ring Spirit. Lainter then sensed his restricted spirit ring again, becoming even more respectful toward Tang Jiu and even more curious about his strength.

"Boss, what exactly is your Martial Soul? What level is your Soul Power?"

Tang Jiu lifted the hammer onto his shoulder and said calmly, "Tang Jiu. Bullet Ant Martial Soul. Level 19 Assault Type Battle Spirit Master! Strength: 1300 Jin!"

Gulp. Everyone swallowed hard. A Level 19 Spirit Master—wouldn't that mean he was about to graduate?

And that strength was simply monstrous!

"Boss!"

At that moment, the people in the dorm lined up neatly and bowed to Tang Jiu in unison. Every face was filled with shock and admiration!

From now on, who would dare provoke their dorm?

"Good. Lainter, go buy me two sets of bedding! I'll give you the money in a couple of days." Tang Jiu gave the order. He had to send one blanket to Third Brother. He couldn't let Xiao Wu bully his Third Brother!
