Beat Xiao Wu Jie to Tears

This terrified Director Su, who was handling the new student registrations. He hurriedly picked him up and ran for the infirmary.

At the same time, Tang Hao, who had been watching from the shadows, was puzzled as well. What was wrong with Xiao San? Why had he suddenly fainted for no reason? Could he have eaten something bad last night?

The useless member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family who had been beaten up by a mere Soul Elder earlier was actually here too, which surprised him.

Thinking of Yu Xiaogang's past, and then of that woman from Spirit Hall who possessed Twin Spirits, Tang Hao ultimately decided not to stop him from coming into contact with his son.

Current Side Effect bearer: Tang San

Side Effect: Punch to the abdomen (stomach pain; severe cases may cause fainting.)

Seeing the System text that had suddenly appeared, Ning Chuan curled his lips. "Is that all you've got? My turn now."

Before anyone could react, Ning Chuan raised his hand and smashed a punch into Wang Sheng's right cheek.

It had to be said that three months of reckless, life-threatening training had produced quite remarkable results.

With that one punch, Wang Sheng's body—more than a head taller than Ning Chuan's—was sent flying. He crashed onto a bed two meters away, flipped backward once more, and only then slammed heavily onto the floor.

"I surrender, I surrender! I'm no match for you..."

Wang Sheng painfully climbed to his feet. His right cheek swelled at a visible rate as he shouted indistinctly through his mouth.

Seeing Wang Sheng defeated with a single punch, Xiao Wu Jie was not afraid in the slightest. Instead, she became exceptionally excited.

She blinked her big, adorable eyes, and a sweet smile appeared on her rosy cheeks. "Hello, my name is Xiao Wu, as in dancing. My Spirit is a rabbit, a cute little white rabbit. What about you?"

Whenever she smiled, two adorable dimples appeared on her face, making her indescribably charming.

Yet in Wang Sheng and the others' eyes, that smile sent chills down their spines. Having witnessed Xiao Wu Jie's methods earlier, they all knew that beneath that adorable smile hid a violent girl.

"Hello, I'm Ning Chuan. My Spirit is a Bamboo Sword..."

Thinking of how that little bastard had sold him out earlier, Ning Chuan deliberately put on a shy, captivated, completely defenseless act.

Before Ning Chuan could finish, Xiao Wu Jie moved. She bent her right knee, and her toes shot out in an instant, kicking straight for Ning Chuan's chin. She was incredibly fast. If any other Work-Study Student had been struck by that kick, they definitely would not have ended up any better than Wang Sheng.

Unfortunately, she had met Ning Chuan. Even after taking the kick to the chin, he acted as though nothing had happened. He immediately threw a heavy backhanded punch into Xiao Wu Jie's lower abdomen, sending her flying backward even faster than she had come.

"Even Xiao Wu Jie isn't his match..."

Wang Sheng and the others cried out in unison. More than shock, though, they felt a chill in their hearts. He had actually laid hands on such a cute girl. He simply had no idea how to cherish a delicate flower.

"Ah, damn it! You actually dared to attack me, Xiao Wu Jie! Today, I'll definitely teach you a good lesson..."

Having never suffered such humiliation in all her life, Xiao Wu Jie was nearly driven mad with anger. She painfully got to her feet and once again used her soft skill against Ning Chuan.

Ning Chuan showed her no courtesy either, charging in with his fists swinging. Even when Xiao Wu Jie threw him through the air with her soft skill, he would get back up as though it did not hurt at all and immediately resume fighting her. Like a machine that never knew fatigue, he completely ignored defense and did nothing but attack. After all, he was not the one getting hurt.

In the end, Mo Hen, the teacher in charge of the Work-Study Student dormitories, was drawn over, and only then did the two separate.

By then, Xiao Wu Jie's eyes had already reddened. They were red both from Ning Chuan's blows and from not having won.

Faced with Mo Hen's criticism, Ning Chuan accepted all of it. After all, he still needed to remain at this academy for the next six years to learn this world's writing and knowledge, and to fleece the Tang Family Father and Son. But his attitude toward Xiao Wu Jie remained cold. He said indifferently, "I'm not interested in being the boss of Seventh Dormitory, and I won't acknowledge anyone else as my boss either. Calling you Xiao Wu Jie is even more impossible. If you provoke me again next time, I'll beat you up too..."

"You... sob..." Hearing this, Xiao Wu Jie could no longer hold back. With a wail, she covered her face, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears.

Mo Hen could not really say much either. The academy was a place for cultivating Spirit Masters, and conflict between Spirit Masters was something every Spirit Master academy encouraged.

He could not punish the side that had suffered the loss just because two students had fought, especially when the other side had started the fight first.

That said, this boy Ning Chuan really could take a beating.

He had taken so many kicks and still acted as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, that girl Xiao Wu Jie had nearly been beaten into a pig's head. He had actually targeted such a cute girl's face. He truly had no idea how to cherish a delicate flower.

"All right, stop crying. I'll take you to the infirmary to get bandaged up first. It won't look good if scars are left on your face."

Only after hearing Mo Hen say this did Xiao Wu Jie stop crying. And so, through a strange twist of fate, Tang San and Xiao Wu Jie still met.

Only this time, the place of their encounter was no longer Seventh Dormitory, but the infirmary. Yu Xiaogang was there with them as well.

Watching Xiao Wu Jie leave, Ning Chuan felt somewhat helpless. In truth, if circumstances allowed, he would not have minded stealing this rabbit away. But Tang Hao was watching from the shadows right now. Although he had activated the System, the prerequisite for transferring Side Effects was that he remained alive.

Although Tang Hao had been severely crippled by him, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Killing him would still be easy.

If he tried to steal the rabbit away, Tang Hao would likely capture the rabbit without hesitation, and Ning Chuan himself would not escape being silenced.

He looked at the silent residents of Seventh Dormitory and said, "Tell me about the academy."

Only then did the students gradually recover from their shock. The battle between Ning Chuan and Xiao Wu Jie had simply been too brutal, filling them with fear.

In the end, Wang Sheng stepped forward.

"We Work-Study Students are actually responsible for cleaning the academy. The teachers assign the specific work. The academy has six grades in total... two classes in the morning, cultivation in the afternoon..."

Ning Chuan nodded after listening, then asked, "Does this academy have any teachers with Blade Sword Type Spirits?"

Although he possessed a Sword Spirit, his understanding of the sword was limited to basic movements such as thrusting, chopping, pointing, lifting, picking, snapping, intercepting, slashing, wiping, shaving, circling, hanging, blocking, and pressing. That was only because he had been a sword enthusiast in his previous life.

Therefore, it was still necessary to seek advice from teachers who possessed Blade Sword Type Spirits.

Even if they did not understand how to use a sword, they would definitely be better than him. Perhaps he might even find inspiration in their spirit skills.
