Couldn't he have any physical contact with Xiao Wu? Better yet, shouldn't he avoid even speaking to her?
Granted, during Douluo II, aside from Tang Wutong, no one else had any contact with Xiao Wu. They probably didn't even get the chance to see her.
What's more, as the treasured possession of a certain two-word God King, anyone who came into contact with her would probably be dealt with by that bunch immediately!
But during Douluo I...
"I wonder if I can handle it?"
Looking at Xiao Wu standing right before him, fresh and lively, Tang San felt as if he'd met the person he was destined to be with. Unable to help himself, he whispered to Wang Sheng.
"Can boys and girls live together here?"
Wang Sheng nodded and lowered his voice too. "We're all still children, so the school doesn't separate the dorms by gender.
"I heard they only start separating us at the Intermediate Soul Master Academy.
"It's strange. We didn't have a single Work-Study Student last year, but this year we've got two.
"Second Brother, go on. Show her who's boss."
Since Qin Yun was the leader, Wang Sheng's simple way of thinking told him that Tang San must naturally be the second-in-command.
To his surprise, after hearing Wang Sheng's words, Tang San's expression visibly turned serious.
Before, they'd been nothing but a rabble, and Tang San hadn't needed to bother with them.
But now that he'd pledged allegiance and become the sect master's lackey, things naturally had to change.
"How many times have I told you? When we're working, use our titles!"
"Brother Yun's proposal hasn't been submitted yet, but unless the school leaders are idiots, they'll definitely approve it.
"That means that from today onward, we in Dorm Seven are no longer a gang, but a team. Minister Wang, do you understand what I mean?"
Wang Sheng: "...Vice President Tang, I understand!"
He wasn't the Tang Sect's deputy sect master, but it was close enough. Wang Sheng's words made Tang San feel so good that he was practically floating.
"Good. You're a quick learner!"
What the heck, waving a chicken feather around like it was a royal decree!
Still, when Wang Sheng remembered that he wasn't Tang San's match and would eventually become a Student Union minister, he forced down his resentment.
Just as Tang San straightened his clothes and prepared to approach Xiao Wu...
Before he could do anything, Qin Yun stepped forward first and gave Xiao Wu's hand a friendly shake.
"Hello, Xiao Wu. You're a new student this year, right?
"My name is Qin Yun, and I'm the Student Union president. My Martial Soul is Eyes, and my Innate Soul Power is Level Three.
"May I ask what your Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power are?"
She wasn't particularly wary. She didn't know what a handshake was, but she'd only just come out of the Star Dou Forest and didn't know much about human society either.
Almost instinctively, Xiao Wu held out her right hand and shook Qin Yun's.
"I'm Xiao Wu. My Martial Soul is the Soft Bone Rabbit, and I have Innate Full Soul Power!"
"Innate Full Soul Power! Another person with Innate Full Soul Power!"
The most astonished person there was naturally Wang Sheng, the former leader of Dorm Seven.
Ordinary people had little chance of possessing Innate Soul Power unless their Martial Soul had mutated.
In past years, there might have been plenty of Work-Study Student spots, but not a single person would actually come to apply.
But this year?
Not only had two arrived at once, both of them had Innate Full Soul Power!
Since when had the fortune of a little place like Nuoding City been this good?
Unlike Wang Sheng, Qin Yun could barely keep the corners of his mouth from lifting as soon as they shook hands.
[You made physical contact with Xiao Wu right in front of God King Tang!
I acknowledge your courage. You are the strongest!
Reward: Soul Skill... Invincible Golden Body. It does not occupy a Soul Skill slot and can be directly converted into a Self-Created Soul Skill!]
[Invincible Golden Body: Lasts for three seconds. Below the god level, it grants immunity to some physical and energy attacks, as well as abnormal effects such as stun, poison, and sealing. While the skill is active, physical strength increases by 100%!]
Invincible Golden Body was one of the most broken abilities Xiao Wu had. In the original story, God King Tang had relied on this move to withstand plenty of damage.
But what was even more broken was that the system had turned a Soul Skill directly into a Self-Created Soul Skill.
Didn't that mean that, as long as he wanted, he could teach countless people Invincible Golden Body?
"By then, it won't be Invincible Golden Body anymore. It'll be the Golden Light Divine Incantation!"
As Qin Yun was thinking, Xiao Wu's eyes darted around. She twitched her rabbit-ear hair ornaments and put on a crafty expression.
"You're President Qin, right? I heard people talking about the Student Union, the leader, the second-in-command, and all that outside just now. What's that all about?"
After throwing her weight around in the Star Dou Forest for so long, Xiao Wu was used to being the big sister.
Even though she'd completed her transformation and come to human society, her big-sister personality hadn't changed much.
"The Student Union is basically an organization founded by us students ourselves..."
And so on, and so forth.
After briefly explaining the Student Union's authority and the work it handled on a daily basis...
She hadn't understood a word of all that babbling. The streetwise rabbit hadn't listened to any of it.
But there was one thing she'd heard loud and clear!
"So, in simple terms, whoever can fight the best becomes Student Union president and the boss here, right?"
"You could put it that way."
Xiao Wu: "Good. In that case, I challenge you! I'm going to be Student Union president!"
"Outrageous!"
Before she'd been tamed, the streetwise rabbit thinking that way didn't surprise Qin Yun in the least.
Tang San, however, though he felt some fondness for the girl who'd suddenly appeared and thought the two of them were fated, couldn't tolerate someone openly provoking the Tang Sect Master.
As he spoke, Tang San had already stepped in front of Qin Yun, ready to teach the streetwise rabbit before him a lesson.
Granted, Xiao Wu's talent really was impressive. If nothing unexpected happened, it wouldn't take long for her to become an inner disciple of the Tang Sect, just like him.
But that was no excuse for showing disrespect to the sect master!
"Little San, this is a position anyone can compete for fairly. Not just Xiao Wu—anyone who wants to can challenge me.
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier!"
Qin Yun patted Tang San on the shoulder, easing his anger a little, then continued.
"Since Xiao Wu wants it, I'll take her on!
"But let's agree on three rules first. Win or lose, once you decide to join the Student Union, you'll have to follow its rules from now on.
"Do you agree?"
Watching Qin Yun slowly raise his palm, Xiao Wu saw that her "scheme" had worked and flashed a wild grin. Then she raised her own hand and slapped his palm.
"I may not have read many books, but I understand that a gentleman's word is as good as a team of horses.
"If I win, then from now on I'll be your Sister Xiao Wu.
"If I lose, I'll naturally follow your orders!"
[Heh heh, even though my strength is less than one percent of what it was after transforming into a human, I'm still a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, no matter how you look at it.
"I've cultivated in the Star Dou Forest for so long, so I'm incredibly experienced in battle. On top of that, I have the advantage of a higher Soul Power Level.
"How could a six-year-old possibly compare with conditions like these?]
