Tang San let out a breath of relief when she saw that a single blow had made Wang Sheng tear up in pain and nearly surrender.
She had thought that boy who looked like a monster after using War Tiger Martial Soul Possession would be formidable. Turns out he was all show and no substance.
Seeing Wang Sheng refuse to admit defeat and charge at her again,
Tang San met speed with speed, swinging her fire poker at the back of his hand faster than his tiger claws could rake at her.
Meeting force with force was not her style. Under Li Yue's tutelage, Tang San's martial arts attainments were no poor thing. Dealing with this bunch of children was as easy as turning her hand over.
Wang Sheng only felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand, followed immediately by a blow from the stick to his other kidney that hurt so badly he nearly lost his footing.
Why are you only hitting my kidneys? Can't you hit somewhere else? It really hurts!
"Pain, pain, pain—"
Wang Sheng bent over, clutching his kidneys with both hands, unable to straighten up from the pain.
It was a natural bodily reaction, not something a child like him, who had undergone barely any training, could overcome.
Tang San had been about to stop when she saw that Wang Sheng seemed to have no desire to keep fighting. But then she saw him clutching both sides of his waist, bent over in pain as though bowing.
That posture was simply too perfect. It left him completely wide open—how could she possibly resist kicking him?
Tang San sprang into the air and kicked Wang Sheng in the stomach.
If she had been fighting a martial arts expert, she definitely would not have used such a move. It was too easy for someone to catch the opening.
But against a child like Wang Sheng, who had no foundation in martial arts, there was no need to be so particular.
That kick sent Wang Sheng flying. He crashed heavily to the ground, landing on his butt so hard it felt like it had split into eight pieces.
"Waaah!"
Everything hurt now, and Wang Sheng did not even know where to hold.
Both kidneys, his stomach, and both cheeks of his butt—five places in total, while he only had two hands.
Seeing how fiercely Tang San attacked, Wang Sheng realized she was a complete little wildcat.
He decisively surrendered. "Tang San, you win. I acknowledge your strength. From now on, you're the Dormitory Chief of Seventh Dormitory."
Tang San did not care much for the position of Dormitory Chief. Besides, if anyone was going to take it, it should be Senior Brother Li Yue. She turned to the others and said, "I'm giving the Dormitory Chief position to Brother Yue."
The working students all revealed astonished expressions. Someone could actually resist the temptation of becoming Dormitory Chief and give the position away?
This was a position above more than a dozen people. You could have plenty of underlings, and among the working students, it was the most prestigious position of all.
Yet none of them dared raise any objections. Had they not seen the former Dormitory Chief lying on the ground? Could they, as underlings, possibly be stronger than their boss?
Following Tang San's lead, the working students addressed Li Yue.
"Hello, Brother Yue."
"Brother Yue, you'll be our boss from now on."
"Brother Yue, you have to look after us."
Just then, Yu Xiaogang walked in carrying a brand-new set of bedding: a mattress, bedsheet, quilt, and pillow.
When the working students saw a teacher arrive, they thought the noise from their fight had drawn him over. They nervously turned their gazes toward the doorway.
Yu Xiaogang handed the bedding to Li Yue and said flatly, "The academy prepared this for you. Rest well. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and formal classes will begin the day after tomorrow."
Li Yue accepted the bedding. "Thank you, Teacher."
He had not brought bedding with him. It was too heavy and took up too much space.
He had originally planned to buy some after arriving at the academy, but Yu Xiaogang had unexpectedly given him a set.
It was only a set of bedding, but Yu Xiaogang was doing quite well at winning people over. Li Yue decided to learn from him.
After Yu Xiaogang left, the working students gathered around Li Yue and curiously looked at the bedding in his hands.
"Working students can get bedding too? Did the academy change the rules after Brother Yue arrived?"
"I never got any before. Does that mean I can go get a set now?"
"You idiot, the teacher only gave one set, and there are two of Brother Yue's group. Obviously, that bedding was given to him by the teacher."
Li Yue ignored the working students' chatter and said to Tang San, "Let's share one quilt. We can look out for each other at night, too."
"Okay." Tang San's cheeks flushed slightly as she agreed, gently nodding.
"Ooh—" The working students teased them, making Tang San blush even harder.
Li Yue looked at Tang San strangely. Why are you blushing like a boiling kettle?
It's not like we haven't slept together before. Even though you're a girl now, I've always treated you like a brother.
Just as Li Yue and Tang San finished making their bed, the dormitory door remained open, and an adorable figure hopped in.
"Is this the working students' dormitory?"
Her voice was crisp and melodious. Her fair, rosy little face looked as tender as ripened fruit, and her long black hair was tied into a ponytail.
Xiao Wu looked at the working students in the dormitory with her watery eyes, then nodded to herself. "Mm-hmm, this looks like the right place."
As she nodded, her ponytail swayed behind her hips.
Xiao Wu skipped up to Li Yue, leaned her head close beside him, and sniffed. Sniff, sniff, sniff.
What a fragrant scent, like the freshest grass. Xiao Wu inhaled the scent on Li Yue in intoxication and inexplicably swallowed. "You smell so good."
Li Yue leaned back, feeling that Xiao Wu was standing a little too close. Obviously. This is the scent of the Blue Silver Emperor. How could it not smell good?
This silly rabbit isn't thinking of taking a bite out of me, is she?
While Xiao Wu sniffed around him, Li Yue took the opportunity to examine her as well.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form doesn't seem much different from an ordinary human, aside from being prettier.
Who would have thought she could drop soul bones and a soul ring?
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, and the light in her eyes gradually turned dangerous.
She turned to Wang Sheng, her tone carrying a hint of interrogation. "Is this a new working student?"
Wang Sheng answered with certainty, "I've never seen her before. She's definitely not an old student. Sister San, she's new and doesn't know the rules. Teach her a lesson."
Tang San nodded at that and stepped forward, pushing Xiao Wu away so she would not stand so close to Li Yue. "Where did this little wildcat come from? You have no manners at all!"
Xiao Wu did not mind Tang San calling her a little wildcat, because it was the truth.
If she said it out loud, it would surely scare this little girl senseless. She was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form!
Xiao Wu winked at Li Yue and smiled. "Hi, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Xiao Wu, and my martial soul is a rabbit. What's your name? I feel so close to you."
"I'm Li Yue. My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass," Li Yue answered.
How could you not feel close? Seeing me is like a rabbit seeing grass.
"No wonder I think you smell so wonderful." Xiao Wu suddenly understood and let out a giggle. Two dimples appeared on her cheeks when she smiled, making her look very pretty.
"Rabbits eat grass. Looks like your martial soul completely counters mine." Li Yue smiled as well.
Tang San looked at Li Yue, feeling extremely anxious inside.
What are you doing, Senior Brother Li Yue? Show the martial heart from your past life that was unmoved by female beauty!
You clearly look like you've been bewitched by a seductress.
