Ye Wen walked in at the center, his expression unchanged as he stepped inside one pace at a time. His gaze swept over everyone present. He saw Xiao Wu, but not Tang San.
"Not here?"
"Hey! Who are you three? How dare you kick the door to Dorm Seven so hard? Are you looking for a beating?" one student shouted angrily. All the work-study students also gathered around him.
At this point in the timeline, Tang San was a little over eight years old, which meant that Tang San and Xiao Wu were already third-years.
With Tang San and Xiao Wu in Dorm Seven, it could now be said to be at the height of its power. It was the strongest dormitory in all of Nuoding Academy, so its students naturally became arrogant as well.
At this moment, Xiao Wu walked over and pushed through the crowd in front of her, arriving at the very front. With her hands on her hips, she sized up Ye Wen and the other two curiously. "My name is Xiao Wu. The Wu in dancing. I'm the boss of Dorm Seven."
"I've never seen you at the academy. Are you new here?"
"Heh, what a familiar way to introduce yourself." Ye Wen smiled inwardly before saying, "My name is Ye Wen. Ye as in Ye Wen, and Wen as in Ye Wen. From now on, I'm the boss of Dorm Seven."
"You think you can become the boss of Dorm Seven?"
"Pfft!"
"Hahahaha!"
Everyone pointed at Ye Wen with one hand and clutched their stomachs with the other as they burst into uproarious laughter.
Ye Wen, Evil Tiger, and Xiao Bai calmly stared at them, as if they were watching a group of monkeys run amok.
"Kid, do you know that the two strongest students in Nuoding Academy are both in Dorm Seven? Sister Xiao Wu, standing right in front of you, is one of the two strongest students in the academy. Her Soul Power is already at Level 18. Do you understand what Level 18 means?"
"You want to become the boss of Dorm Seven? You're hilarious."
The boys in the dormitory proudly introduced Xiao Wu, every face filled with disdain and mockery toward Ye Wen.
Xiao Wu also covered her mouth and laughed, saying with great disdain, "It's not impossible for you to become the boss of Dorm Seven. Just follow the rules of our dormitory. If you want to be the boss, you have to defeat the current boss. In other words, you have to defeat me!"
"Oh? Then come on." Ye Wen smiled faintly.
The male student beside him wondered if he had misheard. "What? Didn't I tell you? Sister Xiao Wu's Soul Power is already at Level 18. You don't understand what Level 18 means? Are you overestimating yourself?"
"F*ck off! You're the one who talks the most crap!"
"Go stand off to the side!"
"Ah!"
Bang!
Ye Wen kicked the male student directly in the stomach, sending him flying. His body slammed heavily into the wall, and he spat foam as he lay there, unable to move.
That guy had been babbling nonstop from the beginning until now. Ye Wen was thoroughly sick of listening to him.
That single kick instantly silenced all of Dorm Seven. Every student stood there dumbfounded, their eyes wide with a trace of fear. They had clearly felt the terrifying force behind Ye Wen's kick. He was no ordinary person!
"Now, do you think I'm qualified to challenge her?" Ye Wen swept his gaze over this group of bootlickers devoted to Xiao Wu and Tang San.
The bootlickers all lowered their heads, afraid to meet his eyes.
The person Ye Wen had just kicked away was the strongest student in Dorm Seven besides Xiao Wu and Tang San. His Soul Power had already reached Level 12.
"Hmph! You've got some skill. You all move aside. I'm going to fight him!"
"Yes, Sister Xiao Wu."
With Xiao Wu's order, all the male students moved aside, clearing a space for the two of them to fight.
The two faced each other from a distance of five meters.
Xiao Wu wore a confident smile and crooked a finger at Chu Ye. "Come on!"
"Heh." The corners of Ye Wen's lips lifted slightly.
Although he was only at Level 14, eight levels below Xiao Wu, and his human body was merely an ordinary one with nothing special about it, he had started cultivating again and no longer possessed the strength of a Soul Beast's body.
However, the greatest advantage of Soul Beast transformation was the Combat Awareness, Combat Skills, and combat ability that a Soul Beast had comprehended throughout its life!
Sea Soul Beasts that could temporarily transform had long since become extremely familiar with fighting in human form.
Not to mention the combat ability of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!
In other words, Ye Wen's current combat ability and physical techniques were at the grandmaster level.
What was more, he possessed a nearly Million Year Soul Bone.
The effects of a Soul Bone were not limited to granting a Soul Skill. It also provided a certain amount of Soul Power and strengthened the body.
Let alone Xiao Wu at Level 18—even a peak Soul Elder might not necessarily be his opponent. If they fought to the death, he might even be able to kill a Soul Ancestor.
"You come at me. I'll give you three moves." Ye Wen also crooked a finger at Xiao Wu.
"Hmph! How arrogant. I'll teach you a proper lesson!" Xiao Wu immediately lost her temper and charged at Ye Wen, throwing a punch.
Smack!
Ye Wen caught Xiao Wu's fist with ease.
"What? He actually blocked my punch!" Xiao Wu was extremely shocked and threw another punch.
This time, Ye Wen also used his fist.
Bang!
Their fists collided, and Xiao Wu was sent staggering backward several steps by Ye Wen's punch.
"How can this guy be so strong?" Xiao Wu's expression turned ugly, and her fist throbbed with pain. She understood that she couldn't win through strength, so she brought her advantages in flexibility, agility, and speed into play.
She began avoiding direct clashes and trying to win through speed.
The two immediately engaged in an intense close-quarters battle, but Xiao Wu was always suppressed by Ye Wen by a single level!
"Damn it! How can he be this strong? I don't believe it!"
Xiao Wu was knocked back by another punch from Ye Wen. She crouched on the ground, utterly shocked. Apart from Tang San, Ye Wen was the strongest student she had ever encountered.
"Looks like I can only use Soft Skill against him." Xiao Wu gave an alluring smile. Her body sprang up and leaped straight toward Ye Wen.
She landed on Ye Wen's shoulders from above, then nimbly darted back and forth over his body.
"Soft Skill?" Ye Wen smiled disdainfully. He did not panic or reach out blindly. Instead, when Xiao Wu was about to move in front of him and use both feet to kick him while wrapping around his body, he extended one hand and suddenly struck.
"This is exactly what I was waiting for!"
"Get down from me!"
Ye Wen instantly grabbed Xiao Wu's long braid and fiercely slammed her into the ground.
Bang!
"Unh—ah~~"
Xiao Wu let out a scream as her body crashed heavily onto the ground. She was knocked out on the spot.
"One of the strongest students in Nuoding Academy? You're nothing special." Ye Wen looked down at Xiao Wu on the ground.
"How could this happen? Sister Xiao Wu actually lost!"
"This... this can't be real!"
All the male students were stunned, staring at Xiao Wu lying on the ground in disbelief.
"Y-you don't know how to cherish and protect women at all!" Xiao Wu said angrily, lying on the ground and struggling to get up.
"Cherish and protect women? In my eyes, you're just a rabbit that knows how to act cute." Ye Wen glanced at her indifferently. Until he decided whether or not to subdue Xiao Wu, she was merely someone on the enemy's side.
When it came to an enemy's friends, he had no idea what courtesy meant.
"From now on, I'm the boss of your Dorm Seven!"
"This..."
The students were unwilling to accept it. As for the rules of Dorm Seven, they had long since acknowledged Tang San and Xiao Wu as its leaders.
"What? Can't you call me boss? Can't accept losing?"
Xiao Wu bit her lip in extreme reluctance and shouted, "Boss!"
