"Remember, know when to stop, and be a gentleman!"
As if he'd just thought of something, Tang Yin added another sentence.
"Huh? Me?!"
Tang San froze. His face flushed bright red, and he hurriedly waved his hands, flustered.
"Big Brother, you should do it! You're the leader!"
"The rules say the leader has to spar with the newcomer. How can I take your place?"
Seeing how cute Xiao Wu was, Tang San, a pure young man, immediately lost his composure.
In both his past and present lives, he'd never even touched a girl's hand!
And now he was supposed to fight one? That was way too thrilling!
He couldn't do it!
"Hey! We're brothers. Why are you making such a distinction? You can do it!"
Tang Yin found it amusing and encouragingly patted Tang San on the shoulder.
"No, no! Big Brother, that's against the rules! You do it!"
Tang San shook his head like a rattle drum, his face still flushed with embarrassment.
The brothers stood there in the dormitory, in front of Wang Sheng, Xiao Wu, and all the work-study students, politely turning the task down and insisting the other should do it.
By then, Xiao Wu had already walked in, curious, and caught the latter half of their conversation.
She blinked her big, limpid eyes, looking from Tang Yin to Tang San.
At last, her gaze settled on the handsome Tang Yin, with his short blue-silver hair and eyes. She asked in a clear, crisp voice,
"Hey, you two, what are you talking about?"
"What leader? What sparring match?"
Before Tang Yin or Tang San could answer, Wang Sheng, who never passed up a chance to watch the excitement, immediately cut in with a grin.
"Little miss, are you a new work-study student? Welcome, welcome!"
"Our Dorm Seven has a rule: new students have to spar with the dorm leader so everyone can get to know each other!"
"Look, these two are both leaders of Dorm Seven. They're just being polite and letting each other go first!"
Wang Sheng pointed at Tang Yin and Tang San.
"Leaders? Sparring?"
At that, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up instantly, as if she'd heard something incredibly interesting. Her little face blossomed with excitement.
"Yay! I love sparring!"
Her gaze swept over Tang Yin and Tang San again.
Tang San wasn't ugly, but that was about all you could say for him.
Standing beside Tang Yin, though, the contrast made him look downright shabby!
So Xiao Wu hardly hesitated before pointing her fair, tender finger straight at Tang Yin and saying with a beaming smile,
"Then you! You're handsome, so fighting you should be fun!"
"..."
Though he'd been politely insisting that Big Brother take the match, seeing Xiao Wu choose him without a moment's hesitation—and because he was handsome, no less—left Tang San speechless. A pang of inexplicable disappointment welled up inside him.
Seeing this, Wang Sheng understood what was going on. He hurried over to Tang San and quietly consoled him in the tone of someone who'd been there before.
"Leader Tang San, take it easy. Don't take it to heart."
"Little girls are all like that. They just like playing with handsome guys."
"Those of us with ordinary looks have to get used to it early. Otherwise, there'll be plenty more heartbreak ahead!"
Wang Sheng had meant well.
But hearing those words, Tang San's mouth twitched, and he felt even more dejected.
Did he even know how to comfort someone?!
What did he mean, he had to get used to it early or there'd be more heartbreak ahead?
Did people who weren't good-looking not have any rights?
For the first time, Tang San began to doubt his own looks.
But soon, when he saw Big Brother Tang Yin reluctantly step forward and stand opposite Xiao Wu, the two of them looked like a golden boy and jade girl.
In an instant, remembering that Big Brother had inherited the Mysterious Jade Hand and Purple Demon Eye Martial Soul, Tang San's heart blazed with excitement again.
Big Brother had inherited my Tang Sect's Mysterious Jade Body and Purple Demon Eye Martial Soul. He was born a true successor of the Tang Sect.
It was only a girl!
How could I envy Big Brother?!
I should be thrilled! If the Tang Sect was to grow stronger, its direct line would surely need to expand!
So helping Big Brother pick up girls, helping him marry more wives and have more children in the future, and strengthening the Tang Sect—that was my duty as well!
Xiao Wu was so pretty. If she got together with Big Brother, their future nieces and nephews would surely be beautiful.
That was undoubtedly good news for the Tang Sect!
Before long, Tang San had settled his feelings, and excitement and fervor filled him once again.
He'd found a new goal: helping Big Brother Tang Yin.
From now on, besides teaching Big Brother the Mysterious Heaven Skill and the Tang Sect Secret Arts, he, Tang San, would help Big Brother pick up more girls, so he could spread his seed far and wide and strengthen the Tang Sect!
As a Tang Sect disciple in his previous life and its pioneer in this one, it was his responsibility and duty!
On the other side, Tang Yin hadn't expected Xiao Wu to choose him.
He stepped forward reluctantly and stood opposite Xiao Wu, briefly introducing himself.
"My name is Tang Yin. I'm the big brother of Dorm Seven's leader."
"According to the rules, we have to spar. What's your name?"
"My name is Xiao Wu. Wu, as in dancing!"
Xiao Wu replied with a giggle and walked to the middle of the open space, facing Tang Yin.
She looked him up and down. The more she looked, the more she liked him, and her big eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"Are you ready? If you are, I'm going to start!"
"I'm ready!"
Tang Yin took a deep breath, his gaze growing focused.
As a Sigma Male, Tang Yin had a very competitive streak!
Since they were going to fight, he wouldn't give up easily.
He'd use Xiao Wu to test the results of his three months of cultivation and see how strong he'd become!
"Come on."
Once he was ready, Tang Yin's expression turned serious as he entered battle mode.
"Watch out!"
Xiao Wu giggled and let out a spirited shout. Pushing off with her feet, her petite figure shot toward Tang Yin like a pink arrow, her fist aimed straight at his face.
What incredible speed!
Wang Sheng and the others were startled.
But just then, a flash of purple glinted in Tang Yin's eyes. He had already activated his Martial Soul, the Purple Demon Eye.
In Tang Yin's eyes, Xiao Wu's movements seemed to slow down.
Facing her pink fist, Tang Yin sidestepped with perfect timing, dodging her straight punch.
At the same time, a warm, jade-white sheen spread across both his arms.
Mysterious Jade Arm activated!
As he dodged, Tang Yin's right hand shot out and seized Xiao Wu's wrist.
The next moment, Tang Yin let out a low shout and drove his strength through his core. With the Mysterious Jade Arm boosting his power, he yanked Xiao Wu clean off the ground and was about to slam her down!
"Yah! You're so strong!"
Xiao Wu cried out in surprise. Her beautiful eyes filled with even greater astonishment, but more than that, she was thrilled to have found a worthy opponent.
"Tang Yin, take my Soft Technique!"
In the next instant, Xiao Wu unleashed her Soft Technique. Her body turned extraordinarily supple, and she spread her legs, clamping them around Tang Yin's waist. Like an octopus, she tried to wrap herself around him.
Tang Yin merely snorted.
Child's play!
Take this, Lao Da Elbow Strike!
With the Purple Demon Eye seeing through her movements, Tang Yin reacted in a flash and slammed his left elbow hard into Xiao Wu.
"Ugh!"
The blow hurt Xiao Wu so much that tears welled in her eyes, and her grip immediately loosened.
Seizing the chance, Tang Yin grabbed both of Xiao Wu's legs where they were wrapped around his waist. The strength of his Mysterious Jade Arm surged as he forcibly pried them apart, then pressed her down in one smooth motion!
"Bam!"
Xiao Wu was pinned firmly to the floor.
"You lose."
Tang Yin's lips curled into a slight smile as he announced the result.
