Ye Hao pushed the door open and entered...

Ye Hao: "!!!"

What a huge foot!

Instinctively dodging aside, Ye Hao's heart trembled. Was it this wild right from the start? Wasn't this welcome ceremony a little too lively?

"Ah—"

With a scream, Tang San was kicked flying by the sudden strike. He swiftly twisted himself around and punched the person's toes.

"Yah—"

It was a girl's voice—a little loli. A pair of adorable rabbit ears stood naturally upright above her head. She wore a pink little dress, with skin delicate enough to seem breakable at a touch, and a pretty face bearing a faint smile.

But that smile...

He had a feeling this little loli was not so simple.

Ye Hao relaxed inwardly. Luckily, he had dodged in time, or he would have been the one sent flying. Looking at the rabbit-eared little loli before him, this girl had to be Xiao Wu, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit.

Violent and unreasonable—she really was a match for Tang San.

"Who are you? Why did you sneak-attack me?"

Tang San demanded.

"I'm the boss of the Seventh Dormitory. My name is Xiao Wu, the Wu from dancing. Are you newcomers?"

Xiao Wu said haughtily, her hands on her hips and an expression that said she would not let the matter rest.

"My name is Tang San. My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I'm a new Work-Study Student here. Also, why did you sneak-attack me?"

Tang San pressed on.

"Because this is the rule of the Seventh Dormitory."

"Rule? What rule?"

"Whoever has the bigger fist is the boss. Like you just did, I also went through a round of testing. But I took care of all those people."

After saying that, Xiao Wu smugly glanced at Wang Sheng and the others, whose faces were bruised purple and blue, her eyes full of pride.

Tang San gave a bitter smile and shook his head. So that was it. A good man did not fight with women. If she wanted to be the boss, then she could be the boss.

Picking up his backpack from the ground, Tang San instinctively looked for Ye Hao, only to discover in surprise that Ye Hao had already entered the Seventh Dormitory and claimed an empty bed. Ye Hao had chosen to lie flat, one leg crossed over the other as he hummed a tune, looking thoroughly comfortable.

Why was I always the unlucky one?

Following Tang San's gaze, Xiao Wu naturally spotted Ye Hao, who had already made himself comfortable, and fury instantly rose in her heart.

Well, well. He saw Sister Xiao Wu and did not even say hello. And that kick had clearly been aimed at him, yet he actually dared to dodge!

He was clearly showing no respect for Sister Xiao Wu.

She had originally been in high spirits, but Tang San turned out to be a tough one with decent skills. You had to pick the soft persimmon to squeeze. Xiao Wu charged over aggressively, and even Tang San, standing outside the door, could not help feeling sorry for Ye Hao. This little loli was incredibly violent!

Ye Hao, who was lying flat, slowly opened one eye and casually glanced at Xiao Wu, a helpless smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"You... you are..."

In an instant, Xiao Wu became incoherent. A deeply unforgettable memory resurfaced in her mind, along with that face she loathed.

"I won't let you off!"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Wu leaped into the air and spun three hundred and sixty degrees midair. Her slender long leg transformed into a deadly weapon, aimed straight at Ye Hao.

Ye Hao's heart tightened. This rabbit... I don't think I provoked her, did I?

In his urgency, Ye Hao sprang up and slapped a palm against the bed, landing steadily on the ground ahead of her. Looking at the bed Xiao Wu had kicked cleanly in two, then at the undisguised killing intent in her eyes...

Ye Hao realized that this matter did not seem as simple as he had imagined.

Immediately afterward, a yellow Soul Ring lit up beneath Xiao Wu's feet. A visible layer of white fur emerged over her delicate body, no different from a rabbit's. Had she used Martial Soul Possession?

"A... a Hundred-Year Soul Ring?"

"Boss, you're awesome!"

There were not many Work-Study Students in the Seventh Dormitory who possessed Soul Rings. Because of their family circumstances, they could not be like the children of wealthy great clans and have people protect them while they entered the forest to hunt the Soul Beasts they needed.

Hunting Soul Beasts was extremely dangerous, with a high chance of death. The profession of a Soul Master came with risks, but generally speaking, the more one paid, the more one gained.

Tang San was astonished. Looking at the yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring beneath Xiao Wu's feet, he suddenly understood. So this was a Soul Ring. In the six years since he had transmigrated into this world, this was the first time he had seen one.

At the same time, Tang San could naturally see Xiao Wu's decisiveness in attacking. It was as though she and Ye Hao shared some deep hatred. He chose to watch from the side. If Ye Hao could not hold on or fell into danger, it would not be too late to intervene then.

He would observe for now...

After the system's modifications, Ye Hao's physical condition had long surpassed that of ordinary people. Though he had never fought before, dealing with a little girl should not have been a problem. But the one before him was no ordinary "little girl"—she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Though he did not know why Xiao Wu was attacking him, Ye Hao would not sit around and wait to die. He had finally transmigrated to Douluo Continent. He had not even lasted one episode yet, and he did not want to log off in such a hurry.

"Death Spider Emperor, Possession."

Ye Hao murmured. In an instant, the skin of his upper body became covered in a layer of Black Armor, including his face. His eyes glowed blood-red, while four additional small eyes sprouted below them. Eight sharp, black-glinting appendages resembling spider legs grew from his back, looking exceptionally deadly.

At that moment, Ye Hao's appearance was completely that of a venomous spider. Thick tufts of green fur grew from his feet, while copious amounts of nauseating slime continuously dripped down. Before long, the ground had been corroded through, fortunately this place was on the first floor.

Ye Hao sensed the changes in himself, as well as the immense power brought by the Death Spider Emperor Possession.

Seeing this, everyone involuntarily retreated. It was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a horrifying sight. Several could not hold it in and ran to the corner to vomit, their faces turning deep purple.

Seeing this scene, even Tang San, living his Second Life, could not help sucking in a cold breath. What a powerful Martial Soul. Was his Blue Silver Grass really a useless Martial Soul?

But Xiao Wu had the strongest reaction of all. Without another word, she leaped up, and the First Soul Ring beneath her feet lit up instantly.

"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow."

Soft Bone Rabbit, Soft Bone Rabbit—the key lay in the word "soft." Xiao Wu's body was extraordinarily flexible, as though she had no bones.

She flashed behind Ye Hao. Just as she was about to strike, Ye Hao abruptly turned around and seized Xiao Wu's slender leg. The face covered by Black Armor instantly shone red. His eight sharp spider spears viciously stabbed into the ground as he gripped Xiao Wu by the throat and pinned her firmly to the floor.

"Tell me, why were you trying to kill me?"

Ye Hao spoke in a low voice, the several eyes on his face staring intently at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu neither yielded nor flinched. She said viciously, "What exactly is your relationship with that woman? Are you her son?"

As soon as she said that, Ye Hao froze on the spot. What woman?

Whose son?
