Dorm Seven's Boss

What happened next was exactly the same as in the anime. Tang San and Old Jack handed the Martial Soul Awakening Certificates to the gatekeeper, but the gatekeeper refused to believe that Blue Silver Grass could awaken Innate Full Soul Power, and the two sides broke into a conflict.

Lin Li, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help rubbing his forehead. He hadn't expected the real reason to be exactly the one on the surface.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Old Jack was an honest village man, so it was normal that he didn't know he needed to offer benefits. Even if he did know, he probably wouldn't have been willing to pay.

As for Tang San, although he had been reincarnated, he was a technical geek who had never even been in love. He had spent his entire life tinkering with his Hidden Weapons, and knew absolutely nothing about social customs and human relationships.

That was probably why, whenever something happened to Tang San in the early stages, he had to recall the Tang Sect Manual in his head before deciding what to do. It wasn't until he grew older in the later stages that he stopped relying entirely on the things summarized by the Tang Sect.

One could only say that this was what an assassin raised in a feudal era was like—especially an assassin from the outer sect who wasn't valued.

Not only did he lack emotions to an extreme degree, but he also had no experience handling affairs. He couldn't even tell whether other people were lying to him.

The one being described here was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.

There was an online rumor that after Tang San became a god, he found a deserted place and made the Man Faced Demon Spider kowtow once, and that he didn't bring Yu Xiaogang along even when he ascended.

But although Tang San's personality could be polished, Lin Li still had no intention of disciplining him.

For one thing, Tang San wasn't a completely blank slate. Molding his personality would be too tiring and troublesome, and Tang Hao was still watching from behind him from time to time.

Another reason was Lin Li's own personality.

Lin Li had always maintained the fine traditions of not taking the initiative, not refusing, not giving up, and not admitting anything... In short, he wasn't the proactive type. He liked being pursued.

While Lin Li was thinking, Tang San's gaze had already darkened, and his arm lifted slightly.

It seemed he was preparing to make a move.

He hadn't even used his brain to think about what he would do if he killed someone in front of everyone, or what Old Jack, who had taken care of him for so many years, would do.

Whenever something happened, he didn't use his brain and only blindly followed the Tang Sect's teachings.

At this stage, Tang San still disappointed Lin Li greatly. Lin Li couldn't see any qualities in him worth befriending.

Still, there was no need to become enemies. He would continue with his non-proactive approach and see how things developed later. After all, his butterfly had already arrived in Douluo Continent.

"Wait!"

Sure enough, Grandmaster came out.

When Lin Li saw that this Grandmaster had a sexy crew cut instead of the white hair from the Manga Version, the last of his expectations vanished.

That was normal. Not everyone could look exactly like they did in the anime. Yu Xiaogang certainly didn't.

Although Lin Li had already obtained Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts and various pieces of information about him from the gatekeeper, he still couldn't help feeling disappointed when he saw him in person.

Lin Li didn't continue watching what happened next. He was going to the cafeteria to eat.

Speaking of which, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

Whether Tang San became Yu Xiaogang's disciple or not was meaningless to Lin Li.

If he and Tang San stood together in the future, then Yu Xiaogang's relationships with Bibi Dong and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be a good card to hold. If he and Tang San became enemies later, having Yu Xiaogang around would still be useful information.

Lin Li habitually went up to the second floor when he arrived at the cafeteria and enjoyed a somewhat late but very refined breakfast.

That was what was good about the second floor. As long as one paid, the food could be made fresh, much like at a tavern.

Speaking of taverns, Lin Li remembered that he hadn't gone back to tell stories since awakening his Martial Soul. The owner and some of his fans had even come looking for him.

However, Lin Li's mind was filled only with becoming stronger and becoming a god, preferably finding a beloved as well. He had no interest in earning that little bit of money.

Thinking about his plans for the future, Lin Li realized that none of the God Positions in the God Realm suited him.

Although Lin Li could possess power on par with or even surpassing that of gods without inheriting a God Position, the setting of Douluo Continent dictated that one had to become a god to gain immortality.

As for creating his own God Position, that required gathering faith. Lin Li happened to hate trouble, so it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

"Seems like it'll be a little troublesome."

Lin Li frowned, then relaxed after a while.

He would worry about future matters in the future. For now, he should focus on improving his strength.

If even Blue Silver Grass could inherit the completely unrelated Sea God Inheritance, perhaps there was a suitable inheritance for him somewhere on the continent.

Since it would soon be lunchtime, Lin Li hadn't eaten too much. He turned and headed outside.

The route from the cafeteria back to the dormitory passed by the Academic Affairs Office. When Lin Li reached the area, he saw a little girl as delicate as a doll.

Judging by her pink skirt and rabbit-ear hair accessories, it was undoubtedly Xiao Wu.

She was quite pretty, but Lin Li wasn't like Tang San, who was obsessed with furries.

Lin Li planned to pretend he hadn't seen Xiao Wu and leave, but Xiao Wu took the initiative to come over.

"Hey! Do you know how to get to Dorm Seven?"

"When asking someone for directions, you can't just call them 'hey.' That's very rude."

Lin Li looked at Xiao Wu and saw no malice in her eyes.

The old rabbit who had come out of Star Dou Forest indeed had a wildness about her.

Lin Li was too lazy to continue explaining to Xiao Wu how to ask someone for help. He simply waved and said, "Follow me. I'm from Dorm Seven."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up when she heard that. She hopped along after Lin Li, chattering beside him like a curious child.

"My name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing. Are you a Work-Study Student too? What's your name?"

"Lin Li."

Lin Li gave his name simply. From the front, one could even see him holding back a laugh.

When Xiao Wu introduced herself, Lin Li thought of a fat roommate from his previous life who had imitated her introduction. Could anyone imagine how hilarious it was when the words "Wu as in dancing" came out of a fat man's mouth?

But after holding back his laughter for a while, Lin Li found it difficult to laugh anymore.

The memories of his previous life were beginning to fade slowly.

The unique loneliness of a transmigrator descended upon him.

Xiao Wu's rabbit nose twitched. She seemed to notice that Lin Li was in a bad mood, so she didn't say anything. Instead, she turned her gaze toward the buildings around the academy.

The two of them arrived at Dorm Seven side by side. As soon as they reached the entrance, Lin Li saw Tang San and Wang Sheng fighting.

With Lin Li leading the way, Xiao Wu had arrived at Dorm Seven a few minutes early and happened to witness the brief glory of the new temporary boss, Tang San.

In a little while, Tang San's position as boss would be taken by Xiao Wu, along with the first stirrings of emotion from the shut-in Tang San.

Speaking of that, the anime version had done it quite well.

At least it was pure love. That made Lin Li, who had been bombarded by NTR in his previous life, very supportive of it. It was also one of the few aspects of Tang San that Lin Li felt was beyond criticism.

One had to ask—who actually liked watching NTR?

"Why are they fighting?"

"Not, bro..."

"Do you have to fight just because you're not brothers?"

Hearing Xiao Wu's somewhat naive question, Lin Li could only tell her that whoever won the fight could become the boss.

"Boss? Sounds interesting!" Xiao Wu was clearly excited.

At the same time, Wang Sheng was knocked down by Tang San. Tang San's sharp hearing also caught Lin Li's words, allowing him to understand why Wang Sheng had attacked him.

"I'm not interested in being the boss."

Tang San calmly said this to Wang Sheng.

He was here to study. He also had to find time to smith, earn money, make Hidden Weapons, and cultivate. How could he have time to fight this group of children for the position of boss and play house? The time spent on such a game would be enough to make several more sets of Hidden Weapons.

Although Tang San wasn't interested, Xiao Wu was very interested.

"Hey! Fight me! I want to be the boss! You all have to call me Big Sister Xiao Wu!"

"First, my name isn't Hey. My name is Tang San. Second..."

As Tang San spoke, he turned around. But after seeing Xiao Wu's little face, the unfinished half of his sentence caught in his throat.
