"Li Ping'an, make your move!" Xiao Wu urged.

Li Ping'an did not know what Xiao Wu was thinking, but he knew that for the sake of the reward, she likely wouldn't go too hard on him.

"Xiao Wu, please enlighten me!"

With that, Li Ping'an threw a punch toward Xiao Wu.

Li Ping'an knew that the better one's physical fitness, the higher the age of the soul ring one could withstand during absorption.

Therefore, even knowing he might lack Innate Soul Power and be unable to cultivate, he had never given up on training his body.

However, before awakening his martial soul, he feared injury and dared not train at high intensity.

It was only after awakening his martial soul and gaining the ability to cultivate soul power that he dared to push his limits.

Thus, Li Ping'an's physical fitness was actually quite good.

But when it came to combat, he lacked technique.

Watching Li Ping'an's move, Tang San shook his head inwardly, silently evaluating him.

Li Ping'an's punch looks fierce, but it's actually just brute force; he hasn't used any internal energy, or rather, soul power at all.

Yet, for a six-year-old child without the enhancement of a power-type martial soul, how much strength could he really have?

Sure enough, the next moment he saw Xiao Wu use the same move she had used against him, instantly entangling Li Ping'an.

As long as Xiao Wu activated her Self-Created Soul Skill, she could take Li Ping'an down.

If she had killing intent, Xiao Wu could even finish off this Li Ping'an, who only had one level of soul power, in a single strike.

But the next moment, a look of surprise appeared on Tang San's face.

"This..."

He saw that after Xiao Wu entangled Li Ping'an, she did not activate the skill she had just used against him.

Li Ping'an had just thrown a punch when his vision blurred, and Xiao Wu slipped into his guard, wrapping herself around his body.

Her legs were now locked around Li Ping'an's neck, and her whip-like limbs were coiled around his legs.

Xiao Wu was light, and her body was soft; pressing against Li Ping'an, she caused him no discomfort.

Moreover, there was no scent of a rabbit on her; instead, she carried a faint, refreshing fragrance.

However, Li Ping'an was thinking: I was taken down in one move? Isn't this too fast?

I was planning to use this fight with Xiao Wu to accumulate some combat experience for later!

If he had no fighting experience, he couldn't just rely on turn-based combat, taking turns releasing skills at each other, right?

Li Ping'an was about to concede, but the next moment, he felt Xiao Wu's strength.

Although Xiao Wu's body was soft, once she channeled her soul power into her Soft Technique, she could unleash immense power.

But at this moment, Xiao Wu was not using her full strength.

She simply gave a light press, pinning Li Ping'an to the ground, and sat right on his chest.

"Li Ping'an, you lost!" Xiao Wu said triumphantly.

Li Ping'an fell to the ground without feeling any pain, realizing that Xiao Wu had held back.

"Many thanks for the guidance, Boss!" Li Ping'an said.

Xiao Wu waved her hand and said, "No need to call me Boss, just call me Xiao Wu from now on!"

"But as the boss of Dormitory Seven, if you run into any trouble in the future, I'll have your back!"

Xiao Wu racked her brains, thinking only of increasing Li Ping'an's favorability toward her.

Sure enough, the next moment, she heard the system's notification sound.

[Li Ping'an's favorability toward the host +5!]

"What? Only 5 points?"

Xiao Wu was somewhat disappointed; she had tried so hard, yet only gained 5 points of favorability.

Does Li Ping'an not like this side of me? Humans are truly complicated! Xiao Wu thought to herself.

However, since the progress bar had moved, a small sense of accomplishment rose in her heart.

Although the favorability wasn't increasing quickly, she believed that one day, she would be able to win Li Ping'an over.

"Xiao Wu, could you get up first?" Li Ping'an reminded her.

Although Xiao Wu wasn't heavy and sitting on his chest didn't cause him any discomfort, it wasn't exactly comfortable either.

He was still young and had no thoughts of that nature, not to mention that Xiao Wu hadn't even hit puberty yet; she was just a little girl.

"Oh! Okay!" Fearing that Li Ping'an might not like it, Xiao Wu quickly stood up.

She reached out to pull Li Ping'an up and even diligently helped him brush the dust off his clothes.

The surrounding Work-Study Students, including Tang San, were stunned.

Could this Xiao Wu be interested in Li Ping'an? She didn't even help me up after throwing me just now! Tang San thought to himself.

However, he only sighed in passing and didn't take it to heart.

His current goal was to study, improve his strength as quickly as possible, and take control of his own destiny.

Otherwise, if Tang Hao were to turn against him, he would be finished.

The other Work-Study Students looked at Li Ping'an with envy; they were all at least two years older than him and understood a thing or two.

Furthermore, Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent were generally precocious, so some had already begun to harbor ulterior motives.

Wang Sheng scratched his head, looked at Xiao Wu, and said, "Boss, I'd like to spar with you too, is that alright?"

Xiao Wu had wanted to chat with Li Ping'an to increase his favorability, but being interrupted by her underling Wang Sheng made her instantly annoyed.

"You want to spar?" Xiao Wu narrowed her eyes and asked.

"Mm-hmm, please enlighten me, Boss!" Wang Sheng said excitedly.

He had already begun to fantasize about being pinned to the ground by Xiao Wu, just like Li Ping'an.

"Alright then!"

Seeing Xiao Wu agree, Wang Sheng quickly said, "Wang Sheng, Martial Spirit War Tiger, level 8 Spirit Disciple, please advise!"

Xiao Wu didn't introduce herself; instead, she directly channeled her spirit power and unleashed a Rabbit Kicks Eagle, landing a kick right on Wang Sheng's chin.

Wang Sheng had just been beaten up by Tang San, and neither his stamina nor his spirit power had recovered.

Struck by Xiao Wu's kick, his vision went black, he lost consciousness, and he collapsed straight to the floor.

"Boss... Wang Sheng!" The few Work-Study Students watching the show quickly jumped off their beds to check on Wang Sheng's condition.

Finding that Wang Sheng had only fainted, they breathed a sigh of relief, but they no longer dared to challenge Xiao Wu.

They finally realized that they were different from Li Ping'an.

"That Li Ping'an, isn't he just a bit better looking than us!" The Work-Study Students felt a bit resentful.

However, they didn't dwell on it; as Work-Study Students who were bullied by wealthy children year-round, they didn't dare to have too many ideas.

After dealing with Wang Sheng, Xiao Wu turned back to look at Li Ping'an, only to find him staring at her.

She quickly explained, "I didn't expect Wang Sheng to be so weak. Li Ping'an, you won't blame me for being too heavy-handed, will you?"

Li Ping'an shook his head and said, "Xiao Wu, thank you for showing mercy just now!"

Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief. As her peripheral vision swept across the room, she suddenly spotted her school uniform lying on Li Ping'an's bed.

In an instant, she had a new idea to increase Li Ping'an's favorability toward her.

"Li Ping'an, where did you get your quilt?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Xiao Wu, I bought my quilt myself. If you want to buy one, you can go to the academy store!" Li Ping'an said.
