In the clearing.
There were two groups of people.
One group was much taller, clearly made up of upperclassmen. Xiao Chenyu was at their head.
The other group consisted of the Work-Study Students led by Xiao Wu.
At that moment, Xiao Wu was glaring at Xiao Chenyu, her face red with anger. She snapped:
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you? If you lose, from now on, you and Boss Xiao and Wang Laoda will all have to acknowledge me as your boss!"
At once, the upperclassmen led by Xiao Chenyu burst into disdainful laughter.
"Fine!"
Xiao Chenyu laughed loudly. "You little girl, I don't know where you got the nerve to challenge us upperclassmen! In Nuoding Academy, go ask around and find out who I am! Let me tell you, aside from Wang Laoda, I, Xiao Chenyu, can walk all over this academy. Who would dare stop me?"
"Enough blabbering!" Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and snorted. "You upperclassmen sure love to run your mouths. Just fight already!"
As she spoke, Xiao Wu strode forward in a fury.
However, Wang Sheng, standing to one side, grabbed her and said in a low voice, "Sister Xiao Wu, you're stronger. Wait a bit; I'll go first!"
Xiao Wu looked at Wang Sheng hesitantly, then patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him:
"All right, Wang Sheng. Do your best!"
Wang Sheng nodded firmly and walked straight out.
"Oh, it's Wang Sheng?"
Xiao Chenyu dug at his ear. "Liu Long, go knock him flat! Make us proud!"
Liu Long walked out from behind him with a broad smile.
Wang Sheng had long been his defeated opponent. He was no threat at all! Liu Long had no idea how many times he'd beaten him flat!
"Wang Sheng, seeing your Grandpa Liu, are you already scared shitless?"
Liu Long shouted, "I advise you not to struggle. We still have Wang Laoda, you know. Let me tell you, our Wang Laoda is incredible. All of us together, Xiao included, still aren't a match for him! You still want to oppose us?"
Hearing that, Xiao Wu looked puzzled.
Wang Laoda?
What Wang Laoda?
She had only heard about Boss Xiao. The other Work-Study Students were just as confused.
Xiao Chenyu thought to himself, Damn it, after getting beaten up, Liu Long went and demoted me from boss to "bro"!
Still, he didn't dare say anything. He was utterly convinced of that Wang Laoda.
In Dormitory Six, without using Soul Power, he could knock Xiao Chenyu flat in one or two moves. He was terrifyingly strong!
But in a situation like this, Wang Laoda probably wouldn't even need to step in!
Wang Sheng's face was grim, but he said nothing.
Xiao Wu, however, spoke loudly without the slightest inhibition. "I don't care what kind of Wang Laoda you have. Wang Sheng, knock this washed-up has-been flat first!"
As soon as she finished speaking,
Wang Sheng hadn't even moved yet
when Liu Long's face turned cold, a crafty glint flashing in his eyes. He stamped his foot, and a long yellow staff suddenly appeared in his hand. He charged straight at Wang Sheng and swung it down!
Wang Sheng seemed to have some experience by now. A yellow light flashed over him as well, and his Tiger Martial Spirit appeared behind him. His whole body swelled slightly.
With a low growl, Wang Sheng fearlessly raised both arms to shield himself.
With a dull thud, the staff struck his arms, leaving a bloody welt! But Wang Sheng immediately reached out and grabbed for the staff.
"Wang Sheng, are you stupid? ... You think you're Wang Laoda? You think you can grab my Martial Spirit? You're too slow!"
Liu Long sneered. The Martial Spirit in his hand vanished, then reappeared as he turned his hand in another direction.
Blow after vicious blow rained down on Wang Sheng like a sudden gale.
Thud, thud, thud!
In an instant, a string of muffled impacts rang out as the staff struck Wang Sheng.
With every thud, several more bloody welts appeared on Wang Sheng! Liu Long had the upper hand in the fight almost completely! Xiao Wu watched, her brows furrowing, growing so angry she couldn't stand it. Why did Wang Sheng keep blocking?
"This won't do. Wang Sheng lacks experience. He can't go head-to-head with Liu Long. The staff is a long-handled weapon. He can only beat Liu Long if he finds a way to get close."
A voice spoke softly.
Xiao Wu turned to look and saw that it was Tang San walking over. Her face brightened, and she complained:
"Xiao San, what took you so long?"
"You have the nerve to say that? You should've waited for me. You rushed off to challenge them just like that-were you sure you could win?" Tang San said helplessly.
He'd spent the whole night absorbing a Spirit Ring and had only returned from the Soul Hunting Forest that morning...
"Wait for what? They were already picking on me! Those bastards even wanted me to be a pet rabbit for their Wang Laoda. It makes me furious!" Xiao Wu snorted, then frowned. "Tang San, there's another Wang Laoda in the academy. Do you know him?"
"Wang Laoda?" Tang San asked in surprise. "I don't know him. Isn't it Boss Xiao? I heard lots of students talking about him on the way here."
"You don't know either?" Xiao Wu looked at him in confusion.
Tang San shook his head and looked at Xiao Chenyu, thinking to himself, Xiao Chenyu isn't a simple person. When I first returned to the academy, I heard lots of students discussing him. It sounded like Xiao Chenyu was the son of the lord of Notting City?
Who else in Notting City could be his boss?
Wang Laoda?
Hmm?
Could it be Brother Feng?
Tang San's heart stirred...
Then he shook his head. Impossible. Brother Feng is a Work-Study Student, just like me. He has nothing to do with these people. How could he be Xiao Chenyu and the others' boss?
"Oh no, Wang Sheng's about to lose..."
Xiao Wu said anxiously all of a sudden.
At that moment, in the middle of the clearing, Liu Long leaped high into the air. His staff came down in a Sky-Piercing Strike at Wang Sheng, who was lying on the ground!
Seeing this, Tang San quietly reached out, pinched up several small stones, and flicked them toward Liu Long.
Thud, thud, thud!
Liu Long was about to land a crucial blow on Wang Sheng when pain suddenly shot through several places on his wrists, as if something had struck him.
His hands went numb, and he couldn't keep his balance. His attack instantly faltered!
Wang Sheng's eyes lit up at the opportunity. With a tiger's roar, he lunged straight at Liu Long!
Smack, smack, smack!
Wang Sheng slapped Liu Long squarely on the back, slamming him to the ground. Then he kicked him several times, leaving Liu Long no chance to fight back and beating him until his whole body ached.
In the distance.
Watching this, Wang Feng thought, Xiao San is really devious, going straight for a sneaky attack.
But Xiao San was skilled with Hidden Weapons to begin with. The others probably wouldn't notice. These little brats were so arrogant, and even after I'd beaten them once, they still hadn't learned their lesson.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Feng slowly walked over.
Meanwhile,
seeing that Liu Long had lost, Xiao Chenyu's expression darkened.
"I'll go!"
A boy walked out from behind him. It was Ling Feng!
On the other side!
"I'll go."
Tang San grabbed Xiao Wu before she could step forward and said solemnly, "Wang Sheng is too exhausted..."
Xiao Wu nodded.
Xiao San was still pretty capable!
"Ling Feng, you can't lose again."
Xiao Chenyu said solemnly.
"Don't worry, Xiao."
Ling Feng strode out, brimming with confidence.
Among the upperclassmen, only Xiao was stronger than him. Oh, no, now there was also Wang Laoda.
Ling Feng strode out with his chest puffed out...
But then, in the next instant!
Boom!
A loud crash rang out. Before long, Ling Feng came flying through the air and landed right at Xiao Chenyu's feet.
