Douluo: Starting Out by Rebuking the Grandmaster

Under Wang Sheng and the others' meaningful gazes, Xiao Wu stepped forward.

Using a Sword Is Too Much Bullying

"That's right. Is there a problem?" Lu Fei answered first.

Lu Yu was more than happy to see it.

As the village chief's grandson, Lu Fei had always been rather flamboyant. If not for Lu Yu's appearance, he would definitely have been the king of the village children.

Now that he had come out into the world, if he did not suffer a little, he would never learn his lesson.

It was also a good chance for Xiao Wu to temper him.

Xiao Wu said, "My name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing. I'm the boss of Dorm Seven. We have a rule here: every newcomer has to fight me."

"What the hell?"

Lu Fei stared at Wang Sheng and the others in bewilderment, then mocked, "You grown men let a little girl be your boss? What were you thinking?"

Wang Sheng and the others' faces darkened at once.

Couldn't you speak properly?

Xiao Wu said cheerfully, "I like that unruly look of yours."

"Come on. Stop talking and let's fight." Lu Fei was equally straightforward.

Lu Yu reminded him, "Be careful. Don't underestimate her."

Lu Fei said confidently, "No way, Brother Yu. Don't worry. I definitely won't embarrass you."

Lu Yu shook his head helplessly.

Xiao Wu smiled as well and kindly asked, "Are you ready?"

Lu Fei said, "Come on."

As he spoke, he assumed a fighting stance.

But when Lu Yu saw that he had not drawn his sword, he knew this guy had not taken his words to heart.

The instant Lu Fei finished speaking, Xiao Wu attacked.

She suddenly lunged forward, bent her knee, and snapped her foot out, kicking straight at Lu Fei's chin.

The kick was incredibly fast, catching Lu Fei off guard and giving him a fright.

Fortunately, Lu Fei had spent over two months fighting wild beasts in the forest, so he was not defeated so easily. He reacted immediately.

He retreated, narrowly dodging Xiao Wu's kick, but in his haste, he had no time to counterattack.

Xiao Wu pressed her advantage, spinning into a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree sweeping kick aimed directly at Lu Fei's neck. If that strike landed, he definitely would not have a good time.

Lu Fei was greatly alarmed, but it was already too late to dodge. He could only grit his teeth, cross his arms, and turn sideways to block.

Bang!

Though Xiao Wu was a girl, she was quite strong. The kick sent Lu Fei stumbling back repeatedly, and his arms began to ache faintly.

Before he could steady himself, Xiao Wu was already in front of him again. She threw a punch that stopped just before his Adam's apple.

"You lost!"

The moment those three words left her mouth, Lu Fei's face flushed bright red.

"This round..."

"Enough. A loss is a loss. I already reminded you at the start. Who told you not to take it seriously?"

Lu Fei wanted to argue, but Lu Yu cut him off.

However, Lu Fei was clearly still unconvinced.

Lu Yu's expression instantly turned cold. "I once told you that no matter how strong or weak your opponent is, you must go all out. But what did you do?"

"If your opponent had not been a fellow student but an enemy, then you would either be seriously injured by now or already a corpse."

Lu Fei immediately lowered his head in shame.

Lu Yu had indeed said many similar things before, and Lu Fei had always remembered them. But today, he truly had been careless.

Because his opponent was a little girl, he had never taken her seriously from beginning to end. That was what led to this outcome.

Seeing that he knew his mistake, Lu Yu finally revealed a gratified smile.

He had indeed been careless, but even if he had taken her seriously from the beginning, he still would not have been Xiao Wu's match.

After all, this was someone who could defeat even Tang San if he was not careful.

With Lu Fei's mediocre skills, unless it was a genuine life-or-death fight, being serious would not have helped him at all.

Xiao Wu looked at Lu Yu curiously.

Lu Yu gave her a different feeling from Wang Sheng and the others.

From that brief exchange, she could tell that he was probably quite strong.

Yet the more that was the case, the more excited she became.

Xiao Wu said eagerly, "Your turn."

Lu Yu did not waste words. He spread his right hand, and the Eight-Faced Han Sword appeared in it. With a casual downward motion, he angled the sword tip toward the ground.

"Lu Yu. Martial Soul: Eight-Faced Han Sword."

As for his Soul Power Level, Lu Yu did not announce it, because it would have been far too embarrassing.

Xiao Wu also said formally, "Xiao Wu. Martial Soul: Soft Bone Charm Rabbit."

She likewise did not announce her Soul Power Level.

In any case, neither of them had a Soul Ring, so there was little point in announcing it.

Suddenly, Lu Yu's gaze sharpened. His body turned into a blur of afterimages, and in the blink of an eye, he was already before Xiao Wu. The Eight-Faced Han Sword struck out instantly.

Xiao Wu was shocked. What speed!

Surprised though she was, her movements were not slow in the slightest. After instantly retreating several steps to avoid the sword, she immediately darted forward to counterattack.

But she had still underestimated Lu Yu.

Lu Yu neither dodged nor retreated, instead unleashing three consecutive sword strikes.

One sword sealed off her advance, one cut off her retreat, and the final sword aimed straight at her face.

If Xiao Wu could not avoid that sword, she would likely lose her life.

"Gulp..."

Watching the two fight, Wang Sheng and the others could not help swallowing.

Damn, this batch of work-study students was way too monstrous.

Why was each one stronger than the last?

Xiao Wu had already driven them to despair, and now another had appeared who could suppress even Xiao Wu.

Comparing oneself to others really could make a person furious.

Elsewhere.

At that dangerous moment, Xiao Wu leaned backward, and the blade stabbed out almost grazing her face.

Though the sword had missed, it still startled Xiao Wu into a cold sweat.

Because Lu Yu had not intended to hold back at all. Had she reacted any slower, that sword truly could have taken her life.

This made Xiao Wu furious.

We were supposed to be sparring, yet you actually tried to kill me.

Smack!

"Ah..."

However, before she could react, Lu Yu lowered his sword and struck Xiao Wu squarely with the flat of the blade.

Struck by the painful blow, Xiao Wu was instantly knocked to the ground, crying out in pain.

Lu Yu withdrew his sword and stood there. He did not continue attacking or say anything, merely watching her quietly.

This did not count as beating her up. He only hoped that strike had stirred Xiao Wu's anger; otherwise, this mission would probably not be easy to complete.

"Again!"

Xiao Wu flipped herself up in one swift motion and glared at Lu Yu with fury all over her face.

The corners of Lu Yu's lips rose slightly.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

This time, Lu Yu let her make the first move.

It had to be said, rabbits really were agile. Her speed and flexibility were already not much worse than the Basic Movement Technique at the minor mastery level.

After several exchanges, Lu Yu, who had been defending passively the entire time, finally figured out Xiao Wu's strength and simply withdrew his Martial Soul.

Using a sword was always somewhat inconvenient.

Xiao Wu stopped and looked coldly at Lu Yu. "The fight isn't over. What do you mean by this?"

"Using a sword is too much bullying you."

Lu Yu's tone was calm, as though he were simply stating a fact.

Xiao Wu immediately grew furious and launched another attack.

This time, Lu Yu did not indulge her.

While dodging, he swiftly kicked out, lashing a side kick directly into Xiao Wu's waist.

No matter how supple her waist was, it could not withstand such a blow.

Do You Know That Trash?

Although Lu Yu had held back, Xiao Wu was still sent crashing into a bed by that kick with a loud bang.

Immediately afterward, Lu Yu swept his leg low.

Xiao Wu instantly fell to the ground.

Then Lu Yu stepped forward again, straddled Xiao Wu directly, and rained down a barrage of punches onto her body, beating her until she cried out repeatedly.

"Damn... isn't this way too brutal?"

Wang Sheng and the others stared in astonishment at Lu Yu, who was sitting on Xiao Wu and beating her.

She was a girl, after all.

Was it really appropriate to hit her like that?

Meanwhile, Lu Fei watched the scene with a thoughtful expression.

It seemed he had understood something.

What they did not know was that—

Though Lu Yu's assault looked fierce, he controlled his strength very well. He made Xiao Wu feel pain without truly injuring her.

Otherwise, after such a beating, Xiao Wu would have been turned into a pig-headed mess.

After all, they still had to study together for several years. Beating her too badly would not have been appropriate; a lesson was enough.

"I surrender! I surrender! I'm not fighting anymore!"

At last, Xiao Wu could not help but admit defeat.

At that exact moment, the system notification sounded in Lu Yu's mind.

Lu Yu smiled, stopped, and got to his feet.

This was ridiculously easy, practically a free gift.

Xiao Wu stood up with a resentful look, rubbed her slightly aching face, and said indignantly, "From now on, you're the boss of Dorm Seven."
