Facing Xiao Chenyu

"No problem, I'm a part of Dorm Seven too!"

Ling Yun agreed, though he had other considerations. Xiao Chenyu was the son of the Notting City lord; perhaps he could squeeze a fortune out of him and earn a few Gold Soul Coin.

With his Innate Full Soul Power talent, he could reach level twenty within three years, at which point he intended to absorb a thousand-year soul ring beyond his level.

To absorb a soul ring beyond his level, he had to consume Whale Rubber to strengthen his physique, but even in this era, Whale Rubber remained incredibly expensive.

Therefore, he had to use every means necessary to make money now! And Xiao Chenyu was a viable path to wealth.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun sat on his bed, meditating to cultivate and recover his soul power.

The next morning, the students of Dorm Seven, led by Ling Yun and Xiao Wu, hurried to the small woods behind the school.

Looking at the lush trees all around, Ling Yun couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. With such dense vegetation, he could maximize the strength of his Divine Wood Ape!

Soon, in the center of the woods, they saw a group of little brats. There were fifteen of them in total, each dressed in fancy clothes, looking far more polished than the work-study students; they were clearly children from wealthy families.

"Ling Yun, they are all sixth-year students, and the one leading them is Xiao Chenyu!"

Xiao Wu pointed at a youth dressed in a gray tight-fitting outfit with a fair face, saying viciously.

"When the fight starts later, leave Xiao Chenyu to me. I'm going to beat him until even his mother won't recognize him. As for the others, Ling Yun, I'll leave them to you!"

"Heh, no need for that. I'm quite strong now; I can handle this kind of trash all by myself."

Ling Yun smiled confidently. As he spoke, the group had already reached Xiao Chenyu.

Looking at Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng, Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but sneer, "Oh? You guys actually dared to come? I'll give you credit for having guts. I thought you work-study students would be too scared to show up, or that you'd go running to a teacher to complain that I was bullying you!"

"Hmph! Enough talk!" Xiao Wu stood out resolutely and snapped, "I'm going to beat you until you're crawling away, then you'll kneel and call me Big Sister Xiao Wu!"

"Heh, we'll see if you have the ability to do that."

After scanning the area, Xiao Chenyu continued, "Don't say I'm bullying you. Since there are only eleven of you, we'll send out eleven people. We'll do a one-on-one wheel battle until everyone on one side has fallen.

The losing side will have to be the lackeys of the winners forever. How about it? It's not too late to back out now!"

"Who's backing out? I agree—"

Before Xiao Wu could finish, Ling Yun stepped forward, laughing with an arrogant tone, "How can we do that? That would be bullying you guys too much."

As he spoke, he pointed at Xiao Chenyu and the others, sneering, "For opponents of your level, I can handle you all by myself. Why don't all fifteen of you come at me together?

If I lose, I won't need you to be my lackeys. You just need to give me five Gold Soul Coin every month to pay for our work-study students' meals. How about it? Do you dare?"

Five Gold Soul Coin a month was something Xiao Chenyu's family background should be able to afford, not to mention he was a soul master who received a subsidy from the Spirit Hall branch every month.

However, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked. Wang Sheng, standing behind him, turned pale with anxiety and hurriedly said, "Ling Yun, what are you saying? You want to take them all on by yourself..."

"Don't worry, they aren't my match!"

Before Wang Sheng could finish, Ling Yun interrupted him and said to Xiao Chenyu, "Do you dare to fight or not? Give me a straight answer.

Of course, if you're afraid, I can give you a chance to back out."

"Damn guy, he's even more arrogant than me!"

Xiao Chenyu was furious and said coldly, "Since you have such a death wish, then come on! If you can defeat all fifteen of us, forget five Gold Soul Coin—what if I give you ten Gold Soul Coin a month?"

"Heh, you said it yourself!"

Before the words faded, Ling Yun had already condensed his soul power, releasing the Five Spirit Lock, and a bright yellow soul ring appeared beneath his feet.

"Ling Yun, Martial Soul Five Spirit Lock, level twelve Control System Soul Master, please advise!"

"It's actually a hundred-year soul ring!"

Xiao Chenyu was shocked. He never expected Ling Yun to possess a hundred-year soul ring. As the son of the city lord, his own first soul ring was only a ten-year ring.

It wasn't just Xiao Chenyu; even Wang Sheng and the others were stunned upon seeing Ling Yun's hundred-year soul ring, followed by a wave of ecstasy.

With a hundred-year soul skill, Ling Yun might actually be able to defeat Xiao Chenyu and his group!

"A hundred-year soul ring... no wonder you had the guts to challenge all of us. But while the soul skill of a hundred-year ring is impressive, how many times can you use it with your current cultivation? For a soul master, soul power is the foundation. Martial Soul Possession!"

His martial soul was also a wolf, but its quality was far inferior to Director Su's Wind Wolf; it was merely a low-tier martial soul.

As he released his martial soul, his little lackeys also released theirs, surrounding Ling Yun tightly.

"Don't say we're bullying you. We'll let you make the first move, okay?"

"Heh, then thanks. Five Spirit Power, Transform!"

In an instant, the Five Spirit Lock radiated light, and the wood-attribute soul power poured out, surging into Ling Yun's body like a rushing river.

His body suddenly expanded, and he finally transformed into a tall ape, standing before Xiao Chenyu.

Wood-attribute beast-type warrior: Divine Wood Ape!

"What? He actually turned into a monkey? What kind of soul skill is this?"

Looking at Ling Yun, who had transformed into the Divine Wood Ape, Xiao Chenyu's expression changed. He wanted to order everyone to attack together, but Ling Yun wouldn't give him the chance!

"Power of Wood Spirit!"

With a roar, thick green vines erupted from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they tightly bound Xiao Chenyu and his group.

For a moment, Xiao Chenyu and the others experienced the suffocating sensation of being constricted by a giant python.

"Oh no, we've been restrained."

"To think he could control all of us in an instant? Is this the power of a spirit skill born from a century-old spirit ring?"

"Compared to my ten-year spirit ring, the difference is like heaven and earth."

For a moment, Xiao Chenyu and the others were pale with fright; some of the more timid children were even so terrified they wet their pants.

Beyond just them, Ling Yun also used the vines to wrap around a massive boulder, then exerted a slight force, causing the rock to shatter instantly as countless shards sprayed through the air.

Watching the rock crumble into countless pieces, Xiao Chenyu's face was filled with horror, as if he were seeing a vision of himself being crushed to death by the vines, and he hurriedly shouted for mercy.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't fight anymore, I surrender, I surrender!"

Seeing Xiao Chenyu take the initiative to concede, Ling Yun's lips curled upward; he had only intended to make an example of them, and he turned to look at the others, smiling.

"Your boss has already surrendered. What about you?"

"We surrender, we surrender too..."

With Xiao Chenyu having conceded, his lackeys had no desire to keep fighting and surrendered one after another, bringing the match to an end with a victory for the work-study students.
