Undisputed Overlord

A rented, ordinary carriage sped along a dirt road in the wilderness, its wheels crunching over gravel with a rhythmic creaking as it raced toward Nuoding City.

The space inside the carriage was not particularly spacious.

Su Yu sat steadily in the main seat, with Tang Wu and Xiao Wu sitting on his left and right sides, respectively.

As the carriage jolted, Su Yu swept his gaze over the two girls, formally establishing a clear tactical division of labor for this three-person team.

"In the days to come, we will only face more trouble, not less. To avoid chaos during battle, we are setting rules now." Su Yu's voice was not loud, yet it carried an authoritative command that instantly made the atmosphere inside the carriage serious.

Tang Wu immediately sat up straight, looking at Su Yu like an obedient student.

Xiao Wu also put away her usual carefree demeanor, perking up her rabbit ears to listen intently.

"As the brain and absolute core of this team, I am responsible for overall tactical planning," Su Yu stated clearly. "At the same time, my primary focus will be on dealing with those deeply hidden 'cheaters.' You cannot handle such enemies; leave them to me."

Although Tang Wu and Xiao Wu did not understand the specific meaning of the word "cheater," they recalled Yu Xiaogang, who had been disgraced in the women's bathhouse, and understood that Su Yu was referring to dangerous individuals who possessed bizarre, unpredictable methods.

"Xiao Wu." Su Yu turned to look at the girl in pink on his right.

"I'm here!" Xiao Wu responded immediately.

"Your physical body is formidable, and your grappling techniques and Eight-Stage Throw have extremely high explosive power. In the upcoming battles, you will serve as the team's main attacker. Once I issue an attack command, you must tear through the enemy's defensive line immediately and engage in close-quarters combat." Su Yu provided a precise positioning.

"Leave it to me! Anyone who dares to block our path, I'll kick their head to pieces!" Xiao Wu patted her chest confidently, her eyes flashing with a militant light.

Su Yu then looked at Tang Wu on his left: "Xiao San, your mutated Blue Silver Grass has extreme toughness and is now imbued with the potent venom of the Datura Snake. Your task is not to charge into the fray, but to remain in the rear, using your vines to control the entire battlefield. Seal off the enemy's retreat, restrict their movements, and apply toxins to interfere at critical moments."

"I understand, Brother Yu! I will definitely bind them all tightly with my poison vines; I will never let anyone hurt you!" Tang Wu nodded vigorously, her large eyes filled with determination.

After hearing the division of labor, Xiao Wu and Tang Wu subconsciously exchanged a glance.

"Hmph, when it comes down to it, you're still just a support who can only hide in the back and throw grass; the main attack still relies on me, the second-in-command." Xiao Wu lifted her chin, intentionally provoking her.

"You're the second-in-command! I am the person closest to Brother Yu, and I am responsible for controlling the entire field—I'm much more important than a brute who only knows how to throw punches!" Tang Wu retorted without showing weakness, rolling her eyes dramatically.

On the surface, the two were still undermining each other over who was the "second-in-command," but during the life-and-death battle in the Soul Hunting Forest earlier, Tang Wu had risked her life to control the Datura Snake with her Blue Silver Grass, and Xiao Wu had stood in front of Su Yu without reservation to guard against unknown dangers.

Those instances of tacit cooperation meant that in the eyes they exchanged at this moment, there was already a foundation of trust and recognition.

A few hours later, the carriage successfully entered Nuoding City.

The trio passed through the bustling streets and headed straight back to Nuoding Primary Soul Master Academy.

As they walked to the door of Dorm Seven, where the work-study students lived, a noisy sound of boasting drifted from within.

"Once I obtain my soul ring, I'll definitely be able to stomp that kid named Su Yu under my feet. The position of Dorm Seven boss will be mine sooner or later!" This was Wang Sheng's rough voice.

Su Yu reached out, expressionless, and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door of Dorm Seven.

"Creak—"

The sound of the door opening interrupted the clamor inside the dormitory.

Wang Sheng and a dozen other work-study students turned their heads simultaneously, seeing Su Yu and the two girls standing at the entrance.

Wang Sheng was about to put on airs and spout some harsh words, but the words stuck in his throat before he could utter them.

Su Yu, Tang Wu, and Xiao Wu did not waste any breath; they simultaneously released the soul power within their bodies.

"Hum!"

Three powerful waves of soul power instantly swept through the entire Dorm Seven.

Following that, three bright, deep, and violently pulsing yellow hundred-year soul rings rose from beneath their feet, blooming with a blinding light in the dim dormitory.

The entire Dorm Seven fell into instant silence.

Wang Sheng and the other work-study students widened their eyes, their eyeballs nearly popping out of their sockets.

Looking at those three yellow rings representing hundred-year cultivation, they felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet to their scalps, their skin crawling.

"A... a hundred-year soul ring! And there are three of them!"

Wang Sheng's legs trembled uncontrollably, his once burly body shaking like chaff.

Recalling the boasting he had just done, his face turned deathly pale, and he dropped to his knees with a thud.

The other work-study students also felt their legs go weak, following Wang Sheng to kneel on the floor, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Faced with three monsters possessing hundred-year soul rings, they could not muster a single thought of resistance, leaving only total submission.

Late at night, the lights in Dorm Seven had long been extinguished, and a cold moonlight filtered in through the window.

Su Yu lay flat on his bed, eyes closed, preparing to rest.

However, the movement beside him made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

Tang Wu was like a clingy octopus, wrapped tightly around the left side of Su Yu's body.

Her smooth, delicate leg rested unceremoniously on Su Yu's thigh, her hands clutched his left arm tightly, and she buried her face in the crook of his neck, breathing evenly and sleeping very soundly.

Just then, a slight rustling sound came from the bedding on the right.

Xiao Wu had snuck over from her own bed in the middle of the night and crawled directly into the bedding on Su Yu's right side.

She lay on her side, pressing her warm back tightly against Su Yu's arm.

Not only that, but her slender fingers were also restlessly drawing circles on Su Yu's chest, bringing a tingling sensation.

Su Yu was sandwiched right in the middle by two scorching, delicate bodies.

To his left was the refreshing, maidenly scent of Blue Silver Grass clinging to Tang Wu, while to his right wafted the faint, milky aroma of carrots emanating from Xiao Wu.

Two vastly different yet astonishingly soft bodies pressed tightly against him, transmitting intense heat through their thin layers of clothing.

Feeling a formation that would make any normal man's blood boil, Su Yu sighed helplessly in the darkness.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging fire in his heart, and closed his eyes to compel himself into a state of meditation.

Following the trio's powerful return, relying on the absolute martial deterrence of three century-level spirit rings, they became the undisputed overlords of Nuoding Junior Academy, and no one dared to provoke Dorm Seven ever again.
