The Overbearing Xiao Wu

As evening approached, the group from Seventh Dormitory headed to the cafeteria together.

Xiao Wu squeezed out from the crowd of boys, her nose twitching slightly as she wore an intoxicated expression. "It smells so good! Yao Yan, what delicious food did you bring?"

"Hurry up and pay tribute to your Sister Xiao Wu." As she spoke, she bounced over to Yao Yan's side.

Yao Yan hurriedly covered up the rabbits, picked up the snacks, and headed outside. "Someone gave these to me. I still have to return them."

"Stop lying. We saw you carrying them from far away." Xiao Wu curled her lip and reached out to snatch them.

Wang Sheng and the others also gathered around curiously.

Yao Yan took a step back, avoiding Xiao Wu's hand as his brows furrowed.

Why was this damn rabbit so rude?

Yet Xiao Wu refused to let up, pressing closer again. "Yao Yan, don't be so stingy!"

Wang Sheng chimed in as well. "Exactly, Yao Yan. We're all in the same dormitory. If you've got something tasty, share it with everyone!"

After dodging several times in succession, Yao Yan gradually lost his patience.

He hadn't wanted to offend her, but she had brought this on herself!

He set down the pile of snacks, spread out the roasted rabbit meat inside, and said slowly, "These were meant for you all in the first place. Come divide them up."

"I'm the dorm leader, so I pick first." Xiao Wu was the first to step forward, only to see several roasted rabbits dripping with grease.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she froze where she stood.

Unable to resist the tempting aroma, Wang Sheng squeezed over to take a look as well. He exclaimed happily, "No wonder it smells so good! It's roasted rabbit meat! Brothers, there's just enough for one each!"

As he spoke, he tore off a rabbit leg and began gnawing on it with relish.

Everyone stepped forward and started devouring the meat in huge bites, occasionally offering their opinions.

"Rabbits are so cute... how can you eat rabbits?" Xiao Wu pouted at the sight before her, her voice choked with tears.

It was as though they weren't eating rabbit meat, but her relatives.

"What's wrong? Didn't you want to eat the most, Xiao Wu? Come on, eat!" Yao Yan said meaningfully.

"That's right, Sister Xiao Wu, come have a taste! It's especially fragrant!" Wang Sheng swallowed a large mouthful of meat and held out a roasted rabbit to her.

Xiao Wu trembled all over with rage, her eyes reddening as she raised her leg and fiercely kicked the rabbit away.

"Xiao Wu, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why waste food?" Yao Yan said in a deep voice.

"I don't care! You just can't eat rabbits!" Xiao Wu screamed as she charged over, raising her leg to kick away the rabbit meat in Wang Sheng's hand.

Yao Yan reacted swiftly, pulling Wang Sheng aside in one motion.

At the same time, he picked up a roasted rabbit, tore off a rabbit leg right in front of her, and took a huge bite. "Xiao Wu, you're being far too overbearing. Whether you eat or not is your business. What right do you have to control us?"

"Besides, rabbits are food to begin with. Your Tang San eats them often too. If he didn't, he'd starve to death. You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Xiao Wu was beside herself with fury, so angry that her brows stood on end. "Y-you still dare talk back!"

The Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul instantly possessed her body, and a hundred-year Soul Ring appeared beneath her feet.

Seeing that Xiao Wu was truly enraged, Wang Sheng knew full well how strong this big sister was. He hurriedly stood in front of Yao Yan and smiled ingratiatingly. "Sister Xiao Wu, calm down. We'll stop eating."

While signaling everyone to pack up the snacks, he leaned close to Yao Yan's ear and whispered, "Brother, we appreciate your kindness, but don't provoke her."

Yao Yan usually kept a low profile and was quiet in the dormitory, so Wang Sheng naturally had no idea of his true abilities. He guessed that Yao Yan was probably no stronger than Tang San.

Yet even Tang San had once lost to Xiao Wu. Even if he had gone easy on her, it was enough to show how formidable Xiao Wu was.

"Get lost!" Xiao Wu shouted furiously, kicking Wang Sheng three or four meters away.

She immediately closed in on Yao Yan, delivering a beautiful spinning kick straight at his jaw.

Seeing Yao Yan standing there dumbly without moving, she sneered inwardly. They're both Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls, yet he doesn't even have the most basic combat reflexes. He can't compare to my brother at all!

However, in the next second, Yao Yan merely tilted his head slightly and took half a step back, effortlessly evading the attack.

Xiao Wu froze, unable to believe it. "He... dodged it just like that?"

Even Tang San couldn't have evaded that strike so easily!

Besides, Tang San was publicly recognized as the strongest among the lower grades.

When her first move failed, Xiao Wu lunged forward again. Her legs flashed like the wind, her attacks flowing without end, carrying a savage ferocity.

Yet no matter how fast or fierce her attacks became, Yao Yan seemed to know them in advance. Each time, he only needed to retreat half a step to evade at precisely the right moment.

Wang Sheng and the others standing nearby were left dumbfounded.

"Yao Yan is actually this strong... Why do I feel like he's just toying with Sister Xiao Wu?" Wang Sheng muttered unconsciously.

Feeling as if she were being toyed with, Xiao Wu became angry from humiliation and shouted, "Other than dodging, what else can you do?"

The Yellow Soul Ring beneath her feet suddenly lit up. "First Soul Skill: Bow Arm!"

The Bow Arm skill could instantly increase the strength of her waist by one hundred percent and her flexibility by fifty percent.

With a whoosh, shattered stones sprayed from the ground as Xiao Wu suddenly vanished from where she stood.

Yao Yan had yet to release his spiritual power when he felt a pair of nimble hands moving across his shoulders, followed by the sensation of his head being clamped.

Xiao Wu's legs locked around Yao Yan's neck like iron pincers. With a forceful twist of her waist and abdomen, she tried to slam him viciously into the ground.

Yao Yan remained calm and grabbed Xiao Wu's ankle with one hand.

The instant he caught hold of her, Xiao Wu, who was activating her soul skill, felt as though she were dragging a hundred-pound weight. She could not budge him in the slightest.

What Xiao Wu did not know was that after five months of training and absorbing Ah Yin's Soul Bone, Yao Yan's physical strength was already comparable to that of a Soul Grandmaster.

Seeing that she could not hurt him, Xiao Wu immediately tried to withdraw her move and retreat.

At that instant, Yao Yan suddenly tugged hard and casually flung her away like a doll.

Xiao Wu flew more than three meters before crashing heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Wang Sheng and the others stared at the scene before them in utter disbelief. "Sister Xiao Wu lost just like that?"

The sight before them felt like a dream.

Xiao Wu was equally incredulous. Bracing herself against the ground with both hands, she glared fixedly at Yao Yan, biting her lip hard.

Wang Sheng came to his senses and hurried forward to flatter him. "Yao Yan, you defeated Sister Xiao Wu. From now on, you're the boss of the Seventh Dormitory."

"I'm not interested in being the boss." Yao Yan shook his head. "I came to say goodbye. I'm moving out of the dormitory."

"Alright..." Wang Sheng's face was full of regret.

After bidding them farewell, Yao Yan headed straight for the school gate.

The sun had not yet set, stretching his shadow long behind him.

After only a few steps, Xiao Wu's gritted voice came from behind him. "Just you wait! Yao Yan, one day, I'll defeat you!"

Yao Yan paused slightly and glanced back over his shoulder. In a calm tone, he said, "Those defeated by me have never been worthy of being called my opponents. I'll give you time to catch up—until all you can do is look up at me from afar!"

A moment later, he walked into the sunset and vanished from everyone's sight.

His overwhelming confidence left them unable to recover for a long while. They continued staring blankly toward the school gate.

Only when a familiar voice rang out did they snap back to their senses. "Xiao Wu, why are you lying on the ground?"

They saw Tang San hurrying over with an anxious expression.

At the start of the school term, he had gone to pay his respects to Master Yu first. He had arranged to meet Xiao Wu at the cafeteria, but after waiting a long time without seeing her, he came looking for her.

He had not expected to find Xiao Wu lying on the ground the moment he arrived.

"Brother, you have to avenge me!" The moment Xiao Wu saw Tang San, she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

Tang San's expression darkened as he gently stroked Xiao Wu's hair. "Xiao Wu, tell me what happened."

Xiao Wu embellished the story, conveniently omitting the fact that she had been the one to provoke him first.

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot and his breathing grew heavy. "Yao Yan! First, you angered the teacher I respect most until he fainted, and now you've bullied my Xiao Wu!"

"You've chosen the path to death!"

Suppressing his fury, he helped Xiao Wu to her feet. "Don't worry, Xiao Wu. I'll definitely avenge you!"

He then took Xiao Wu's hand and headed toward the cafeteria.

A storm seemed inevitable!
