Dorm Seven's Boss, Xiao Wu Arrives

Li Luo and Tang San headed toward Dorm Seven, the student dormitory specifically designated for work-study students.

As Li Luo pushed the door open, the first thing that greeted him was a massive fist.

However, Li Luo was aware of the rules in the work-study dormitory, so he had been prepared in advance.

He extended his palm and blocked the fist that was flying straight toward his face.

Wang Sheng's fist landed squarely in the center of Li Luo's palm; Li Luo gripped it firmly and gave it a light twist.

"Ah, ah, ah! It hurts, it hurts! Let go, I surrender!"

Wang Sheng hadn't expected the newcomer to be such a tough nut to crack; he had suffered a loss the moment he made his move.

Although Li Luo had no intention of being ruthless, he was, after all, a genuine level 13 Spirit Master. Even with just a slight application of force, Wang Sheng, who wasn't even a Spirit Master yet, couldn't handle it.

Hearing Wang Sheng's miserable cry, Li Luo released his hand.

Wang Sheng immediately pulled his arm back and shook it, the pain finally beginning to subside.

Hearing Wang Sheng's cry, the others in Dorm Seven looked over as well.

Seeing everyone's gaze fixed upon him, Wang Sheng stared intently into Li Luo's eyes.

Even though Li Luo had made him suffer with a casual move, there was no resentment in his eyes—only excitement and agitation.

Is this guy a masochist?

Just kidding.

Work-study students generally came from the countryside and only had the opportunity to study at Notting Academy because they had awakened spirit power.

However, the talent of work-study students was often mediocre, and their family backgrounds were average, which led to them being treated unfairly by other students.

Within the group of work-study students, a rule had spontaneously formed: select the strongest person to be the boss to stand against other students and protect the rest of the work-study students.

Therefore, whenever a new work-study student enrolled, the previous boss would challenge them.

This was the reason why Li Luo was met with fists and kicks the moment he arrived at Dorm Seven.

After being easily subdued by Li Luo, Wang Sheng bowed to him with excitement.

The other work-study students also gathered around Li Luo at the door and bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Boss!"

With this posture, one might think the Dragon King had returned.

"Boss, I had no malicious intent in attacking you; this is just the rule among us work-study students."

Afraid that Li Luo would misunderstand and hold a grudge over the unprovoked attack, Wang Sheng explained the long-standing tradition and its origins to him.

As he spoke, Wang Sheng rolled up his clothes to reveal the scars on his arms and back.

"Boss, these were all caused by Xiao Chenyu's lackeys. They rely on their backgrounds to treat us work-study students unfairly every day. As the former boss, I naturally had to stand up for our group, but my strength wasn't enough, so I bore the brunt of it and ended up covered in wounds."

At this point, Wang Sheng stared excitedly into Li Luo's eyes.

"And today, since you defeated me, you are our new boss. You need to protect the work-study group and stand against the other students who treat us unfairly."

"Of course, we won't accept your protection for nothing. As long as you have a need, Boss, the rest of us will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

Wang Sheng's words were quite eloquent; one might think Dorm Seven was some sort of secret society.

But to be fair, Wang Sheng was a decent guy. The injuries he sustained to protect the other work-study students were clearly real.

Li Luo wasn't a saint, but since he was also a work-study student, these troubles would eventually find their way to him. Even though these nuisances were beneath his notice, constant harassment would be annoying.

Therefore, he didn't mind being the boss of these work-study students.

"Fine, then I'll be the boss of this work-study group!"

Seeing Li Luo agree, Wang Sheng and the others cleared a path to let him enter the dormitory.

Li Luo scanned the room and noticed two empty beds, so he walked toward one of them, with Tang San following closely behind.

Only then did the others in Dorm Seven notice there was another newcomer behind Li Luo. However, because Tang San stayed so close to him, they naturally assumed Tang San was Li Luo's follower and that his strength was inferior, so they didn't suggest another spar.

Li Luo reached the bed, only to find it completely bare, which made him realize that neither he nor Tang San had prepared bedding.

Wang Sheng, being quite perceptive, took the initiative to pick up his own bedding and walk toward Li Luo.

"Boss, use mine!"

Wang Sheng's bedding looked rather worn, but it had been washed until it was bleached white, so it was likely very clean.

"No need, keep it for yourself. I'll find a way."

Li Luo wasn't accustomed to using other people's personal items, so he declined.

Just then, the door to Dorm Seven opened once more, and a little girl in a pink outfit stood at the entrance.

"Excuse me, is this Dorm Seven?"

Xiao Wu's delicate voice rang out from the doorway, immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the room once again.

"How is it that another work-study student has arrived? In previous years, having even one was rare, so why have three shown up all at once this year?"

Wang Sheng was somewhat puzzled, unable to understand why there were so many work-study students today.

"Boss, hurry, go! Test her strength."

Wang Sheng walked up to Xiao Wu, briefly explained the rules for work-study students to her, and then signaled to Li Luo with his eyes.

Li Luo stepped forward, intending to spar with Xiao Wu to test his current skills.

After all, with her mastery of soft-style techniques, Xiao Wu was capable of taking down even Tang San, who was at the same level.

Having heard Wang Sheng's explanation, Xiao Wu looked excitedly at the approaching Li Luo.

"Hey, are you the boss of Dorm Seven? I challenge you!"

"My name is Xiao Wu, 'Wu' as in dance. You might as well get ready to call me Big Sister Xiao Wu!"

Before Li Luo could even reply, Xiao Wu had already charged forward, a pair of fair legs kicking toward him.

Li Luo had not expected Xiao Wu to be so lacking in martial virtue, launching a sneak attack on a six-year-old comrade like him, so he responded without hesitation.

A flash of purple light crossed Li Luo's eyes; through the Purple Demon Eye, every one of Xiao Wu's movements was seen with absolute clarity.

Li Luo reached out directly and grabbed the fair leg Xiao Wu had kicked toward him.

Xiao Wu was dressed in a pink dress paired with white over-the-knee socks, and her calf, wrapped in the fabric, looked quite lovely.

Li Luo gripped Xiao Wu's leg with one hand, then delivered a sweep kick toward the other leg she was using to support her body.

Seeing Li Luo's attack, Xiao Wu tried to pull back her captured leg, but she hadn't expected Li Luo's strength to be so great; he held her leg in a death grip, and she couldn't pull it back at all.

Struck by Li Luo's sweep, Xiao Wu instantly lost her balance and landed on the floor with her legs in the air.

Li Luo waited for two and a half seconds, and seeing that Xiao Wu didn't move, he assumed she had conceded, so he let go of her leg.

"Is that it? Is that all you've got!"

Unexpectedly, the moment Li Luo let go, Xiao Wu draped her legs over his shoulders, a glint of cunning flashing in her eyes.

Then, using the strength in her waist, she sat directly on Li Luo's shoulders, wrapping her legs around his neck, her body positioned right in front of him to block his vision.

She then followed up with a chokehold, intending to take Li Luo down once and for all.
