Whoosh!
At those words, the young man and Yu He were both taken aback.
Boss?
"That's right! We saved the best bed for our boss!"
Liu Long and Ling Feng pointed at the bed and chimed in.
The young man and Yu He were even more confused.
It seemed this wasn't a joke?
"How did he manage that?"
Yu He looked at the young man.
The young man's face was awkward, and he looked just as curious. "I don't know either."
But inwardly, he was utterly astonished.
Xiao Chenyu and the others weren't ordinary, either in strength or status. How could someone become their boss without first subduing them?
The two of them couldn't make sense of it...
Meanwhile, Wang Feng strolled leisurely toward the cafeteria.
As it happened, he ran into Tang San at the entrance.
And standing beside him was a pretty, adorable little girl.
Her cheeks were fair with a healthy flush. She wore simple but very neat clothes, and her long hair was braided into a single long scorpion braid that fell to her hips. She was talking softly with Tang San.
Behind them were several students from Dorm Seven.
"Brother Feng!"
When Tang San saw Wang Feng coming, he smiled and waved.
His call drew the little girl's gaze to Wang Feng.
"This must be Xiao Wu, right?"
Looking at the pretty, adorable little girl, Wang Feng couldn't help but sigh.
She was so small.
As Xiao San's future wife, honestly, Wang Feng hadn't really liked Xiao Wu in the original story.
The reason was simple.
He liked them bigger.
So Wang Feng had no desire to try to flirt with Xiao Wu.
Besides, having read the Douluo Continent novel and watched the anime, he thought it would feel weird to hit on her.
After all, she was someone else's wife... Xiao San even had a daughter with Xiao Wu.
Steal someone's wife?
Just thinking about it made Wang Feng feel sick.
There were plenty of beautiful, single girls on the Douluo Continent. He, Wang Feng, wasn't so desperate that he'd do something like that.
Besides.
He really did like them bigger.
He wasn't interested in small ones.
"You're Brother Feng?"
Xiao Wu looked at Wang Feng with her big, watery eyes and said, "Xiao San told me about you. You're from the same village. I beat Xiao San, and he said there was someone stronger than him, a guy called Brother Feng. That has to be you!"
Tang San looked thoroughly embarrassed.
Getting beaten by a girl was indeed a little humiliating.
He'd simply had no experience, and besides, it was his first time interacting with a girl.
"That's right."
Wang Feng nodded.
"Then after we eat, I want to fight you."
Xiao Wu said with a beaming smile.
"I don't want to fight you."
Wang Feng shook his head.
He knew that Xiao Wu's true form was a Soul Beast, a Soft Bone Rabbit.
She especially liked fighting in the early stages and bullying Tang San.
But he really wasn't interested.
"Why?" Xiao Wu was taken aback, then huffed. "You're not scared of fighting a girl, are you?"
"That's not it." Wang Feng shook his head. "It's mainly because you can't beat me."
Tang San hurriedly added, "Xiao Wu, Brother Feng is really powerful. He even fought Su... You really can't beat him."
He'd wanted to say that Brother Feng had even held his own against Su Grandmaster, who was level twenty-six.
Xiao Wu couldn't possibly be his match.
But when Xiao Wu heard Tang San, she became even more indignant.
"You haven't even fought me. How do you know?"
"I don't care. I'm a girl, and I've already challenged you, Brother Feng. You have to fight me!"
Xiao Wu had a very strong competitive streak.
Then again, children all had a strong competitive streak.
Even someone like Tang San, a transmigrator with an adult man hidden inside his body, had a competitive streak too.
Wang Feng smiled.
"Sure. Once you get a Spirit Ring, we can fight."
"You said it!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She had Innate Full Soul Power, so once she went back...
"Let's eat."
Wang Feng rubbed his stomach.
After settling that, the group entered the cafeteria and had a fairly hearty lunch.
During the meal, Grandmaster came to see Tang San. This drew frequent sidelong glances from the Work-Study Students in Dorm Seven.
Grandmaster's name carried a lot of weight at the academy.
"Tang San, you're taking Grandmaster as your teacher?"
One of the Work-Study Students, Wang Sheng, couldn't help saying, "You'd better think it through. Grandmaster's Soul Power is only level twenty-nine, and his Martial Spirit is weak, too. He's nearly fifty and still hasn't broken through to Soul Grandmaster... I'm afraid he has no hope. He's friends with the dean, so he's freeloading at the academy. There's no future in following him..."
"Shut up!"
Tang San gave him a cold look. "If you say that again, I might really beat you up!"
With that, he stood and walked out alone.
Wang Feng shook his head too. These people were just ordinary Work-Study Students, not transmigrators, so they didn't have much insight. It was normal for them to say things like that.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, stared at Tang San with shining eyes.
After eating, Wang Feng went to the academy library to look up various records about Soul Beasts.
For the rest of the day, Wang Feng stayed in the library, poring over all kinds of records and forgetting to eat or sleep.
There wasn't much information, and the records weren't detailed. He might not understand the subject as thoroughly as Grandmaster or the other instructors.
But Wang Feng didn't need to understand it that thoroughly. He only needed to know the types of Soul Beasts and their approximate ages.
The next day.
Tang San followed Grandmaster out of the academy. Wang Feng knew they were probably going to the Soul Hunting Forest, four hundred li northeast of Notting City, where the Empire kept Soul Beasts in captivity.
Grandmaster was probably going to hunt a Soul Beast for Tang San and obtain his first Spirit Ring.
Wang Feng went out that day too.
However, he didn't go to the Soul Hunting Forest. He went to Spirit Hall.
The Soul Hunting Forest contained thousand-year Soul Beasts. They were rare, but Wang Feng still needed to go in and take a look.
But to enter, he needed a pass issued by Spirit Hall.
Wang Feng didn't have one, so he could only go to Spirit Hall first and ask Su Yuntao for one.
The Spirit Hall in Notting City was naturally much more impressive than the one in Holy Soul Village!
The entire building was brown, and a mighty-looking longsword was carved above the entrance.
It had three stories.
"Little boy, this is Spirit Hall. You can't just wander in."
At the entrance, a guard said sternly.
"I'm here to see Master Su Yuntao. Is he here? If he is, please tell him a boy named Wang Feng has come to see him."
Wang Feng said.
The guard looked at Wang Feng with uncertainty, frowning, but still did as he was asked.
"You're looking for Su Yuntao? What does a little boy want with him?"
Just then, a woman walked up and looked at Wang Feng in surprise.
She was tall and voluptuous, quite pretty, and looked about the same age as Su Yuntao.
"I need a pass."
Wang Feng glanced at her. He had no idea who the woman was, so he casually said, "I'm going to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt Soul Beasts."
Wang Feng had barely finished speaking.
The woman couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You, a little squirt? Hunt Soul Beasts? You're probably hoping to get Su Yuntao to help you, aren't you? Does he have the time to help a little squirt like you hunt Soul Beasts?"
With that, the woman laughed as she walked inside.
"..." Wang Feng.
Before long, Su Yuntao came out and stared at Wang Feng, his gaze a little strange. "Kid, you really came. Come in. What do you want with me?"
Wang Feng repeated what he had just told the woman.
Su Yuntao looked at Wang Feng, speechless. "I was wondering who Si Si was talking about. Turns out it was you, kid... I can't give you the token. Hunting Soul Beasts is too dangerous for you. Those few tricks of yours aren't worth mentioning to a Soul Beast."
At that, Su Yuntao suddenly smiled. "But if you join Spirit Hall, not only will I give you the token, I can also find someone to help you hunt Soul Beasts. How about it?"
