"San, having you is enough. Why did you drag me into this?"
Ye Hao spoke with great reluctance. For four straight days, he had either been traveling or wandering around the forest. Right now, all he wanted was a good night's sleep.
"Ye Hao, we're dormmates. How can you stand by and do nothing when a roommate is in danger?"
After spending this time together, Tang San had gradually gained a new understanding of Ye Hao.
Ye Hao was someone who did whatever he pleased. When dealing with people or matters, he followed his own wishes. There was no method to his actions; he simply acted according to his heart.
Tang San found people like that the hardest to figure out. On the other hand, such people were dangerous. Who knew when they might give you a "surprise"?
Tang San was willing to go through fire and water for his dormmate. Seeing this, Ye Hao said no more. The sooner they finished this fight, the sooner he could return to the dorm and sleep.
On the training ground, the battle had clearly reached a fever pitch. Wang Sheng had used Martial Soul Possession with his War Tiger Martial Soul and was facing off against a Soul Master wielding a staff.
As the saying went, an inch longer meant an inch stronger.
The staff lashed at Wang Sheng's wrists like raindrops. From start to finish, Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and endured. Before Xiao Wu had arrived, he had been the leader of the Work-Study Students.
To guard against bullying from the noble students, this sort of thing had happened often. Sometimes, facing two opponents alone was normal.
Before long, Tang San and Ye Hao arrived among the crowd.
"Wang Sheng is going to lose."
At that moment, Tang San made an important announcement.
"Xiao San, you're back?"
Xiao Wu turned around and looked at the two who had hurried over in surprise.
"Where did you go these past four days? And Ye Hao, what exactly did you two go do? Why didn't you take me with you?"
Tang San: "..."
Ye Hao said, "We went outside for a feast. These past few days, we toured every corner of Nuoding City, eating and drinking well. We just didn't take you."
Upon hearing that, Xiao Wu: (ˇˇ)
Though angry, she could do nothing about it. She was no match for Ye Hao and could not beat him at all.
Ye Hao continued, "Especially that shop in the east of the city. Their Spicy Rabbit Head was absolutely delicious. I ate more than ten of them, and Tang San ate quite a few too. Right, San?"
Tang San nodded vaguely, then immediately realized something was wrong when he saw the resentful look in Xiao Wu's eyes.
Tang San: I have a damn thing to say, but I don't know whether I should say it.
"You... you two, hmph! ╭(д)╮"
"I'm ignoring you!"
Xiao Wu turned away angrily.
Tang San: "..."
He shot Ye Hao a resentful look. Was that really necessary?
The two of them still slept together at night. It was over—now he did not even have the right to get into bed.
If he could not get into bed tonight, he would crawl into Ye Hao's blanket.
Ye Hao: How about a taste of Death Spider Emperor Poison?
Tang San: (°°)
"Ah—"
Wang Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood after being struck by the other party's staff and losing his ability to fight. He exited Martial Soul Possession, his body covered in bruises. Their strengths were clearly unequal.
"Wang Sheng, this former boss of yours isn't much either. You were actually defeated by a little girl."
The one holding the long staff was called Liu Long. He had had some friction with Wang Sheng. Back when Wang Sheng had still been the boss, the two had been like fire and water, and they had fought more often than anyone else.
"Liu Long, don't get cocky. You'll get what's coming to you soon enough."
Wang Sheng was overjoyed. He was not discouraged by his defeat, because he had spotted Ye Hao in the crowd. He was the true big shot!
After not seeing him for just a few days, the big shot's aura had become so terrifying. Given time...
The Hammer's aura was terrifying. Ye Hao was full of resentment. He had just wanted to sleep when Tang San suddenly dragged him up. Anyone would be the same.
Right now, he was filled with rage with nowhere to vent it. He looked coldly at the people opposite him. It was best if none of them provoked him, or else...
With Wang Sheng's defeat, the morale of the Work-Study Student group led by Xiao Wu immediately fell.
In contrast, the noble students led by Xiao Chenyu became even more arrogant, their hearts higher than the heavens and their heads held high.
Xiao Chenyu raised his head, nostrils pointed at the sky, and burst into laughter. "Boss Xiao Wu, you're not much either. How about this? We're all from the same academy, and we'll be seeing each other every day from now on, so I won't make things difficult for you. If all of you call me Xiao Laoda, I'll let every one of you go. What do you think?"
Xiao Wu frowned. Asking her to call Xiao Chenyu "boss"? What a joke. She was old enough to be his ancestor; he was not even qualified to be her grandson.
"Xiao Laoda, let the two of us spar. If I lose, I'll call you boss. What do you think?"
Xiao Wu took the initiative to issue a challenge. Xiao Chenyu froze slightly. He was a sixth-year student. Though his opponent was a "little girl," she was still a new junior student and had probably never even seen a Soul Ring. His first Soul Ring was a ten-year one!
Wasn't this bullying her too much?
But then again, Xiao Wu was the leader of these people. Once he defeated her, he would be the biggest boss in all of Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy.
From then on, who would dare disobey him?
"Fine. It's a deal."
Seeing Xiao Chenyu agree, Xiao Wu secretly rejoiced. The resentment she had been bottling up for so long could finally be released "reasonably."
Meanwhile, Ye Hao stood blankly in the last row. Watching the childish farce before him, his eyelids began to droop.
Why say so much pointless nonsense? They might as well all attack at once. I hate this kind of thing most. If you can fight, why bother doing something so unnecessary?
Bored, Ye Hao simply went beneath a nearby tree to rest. He glanced at Xiao Chenyu, who had released his Martial Soul, and at the white Soul Ring beneath his feet. Ye Hao accidentally laughed out loud.
Xiao Chenyu actually dared accept Xiao Wu's challenge. He was about to get what was coming to him.
"What are you laughing at?"
At that moment, a plain-looking student among the noble group shouted at Ye Hao, who was sitting beneath the tree.
Ye Hao rolled his eyes at the person and simply ignored him. There was no need to argue with a child.
Even so, in that person's eyes, Ye Hao's actions were clearly a sign of disdain.
Nobles were nobles, and commoners would always be commoners. That was an eternal truth.
Nobles stood above others. They were both human, so why was there such a great gap between people?
Ye Hao slowly stood up and impatiently looked at the student who had just been barking like a mad dog.
"It's him?"
It was the person who had made faces at him in the dining hall that day. Enemies truly met on narrow roads. Ye Hao had not intended to trouble him, but the fool had come seeking death first?
Over here, Xiao Wu released her Rabbit Martial Soul. Before the Soul Ring beneath her feet could be activated—
A massive and powerful pressure instantly crushed the entire field. A Death Spider Emperor suddenly appeared, accompanied by a Hundred-Year Soul Ring.
Ye Hao strode forward with heavy steps, the Hundred-Year Soul Ring beneath his feet keeping him company. The Death Spider Emperor behind him radiated a fierce aura as he slowly approached the group of nobles...
