Call Me Big Brother!

Wang Dong's expression changed drastically.

She had no intention of smashing her face into the ground and ending up disfigured in such an embarrassing manner!

At that critical moment, a dazzling blue light suddenly erupted from her body.

Behind her, a pair of magnificent blue butterfly wings abruptly spread open!

Those wings were breathtakingly beautiful.

The colors at the tips of the forewings shifted from deep blue to azure to pale blue. The entire wingspan resembled a blue sky encircled by a halo, forming a perfect V shape.

Faint golden patterns flowed across the wings, refracting dreamlike radiance beneath the setting sun.

Their shape and coloring were peerless, flawless in every way.

Beautiful. Very beautiful. Incredibly beautiful.

That was everyone's first reaction upon seeing those wings.

Wang Dong circulated her Soul Power with all her might. With a fierce beat of her wings, she forcibly broke free from Lin Yaoyang's hand, which had not used its full strength, and shot into the sky, hovering in midair.

Two soul rings rose beneath her feet, slowly revolving around her body.

One yellow and one purple.

A two-ring Soul Grandmaster, and her second soul ring was already at the thousand-year level.

This scene caught the attention of quite a few freshmen in the dormitory building. They stuck their heads out of the windows and watched the two people in the open space below.

"Damn, are they fighting?"

"What kind of martial soul are those blue wings? They're so pretty!"

"One yellow and one purple? Her second soul ring is already thousand-year? That's insane!"

"Are these two freshmen really that bold? They've only been here a few days and they're already fighting?"

Lin Yaoyang looked up at Wang Dong in the air, her beautiful blue wings sparkling under the setting sun. He chuckled. "Oh? A little butterfly? Too bad you're all looks and no substance!"

Wang Dong steadied herself in the air. Hearing that, her face flushed red with anger. "All you can do is talk? If you've got the guts, summon your martial soul and fight me!"

Lin Yaoyang said calmly, "I don't need a martial soul to deal with you."

"Arrogant!" Wang Dong snorted coldly, her wings beating sharply!

She dived down, moving as fast as a bolt of blue lightning. The sharp golden edges of her beautiful wings flashed like blades as they slashed viciously toward Lin Yaoyang!

Lin Yaoyang shifted aside. Her wings grazed past his shoulder, carrying away a strand of his orange-red hair.

The instant Wang Dong swept past him, Lin Yaoyang clenched his right hand and drove a heavy punch into her chest!

"Ugh—!"

Even with the cushioning of her breasts, Wang Dong still felt a burst of intense pain.

An immense force struck her, and her body lost balance in midair, tilting awkwardly to one side.

Lin Yaoyang gave her no chance to catch her breath.

He leaped up and kicked Wang Dong in the back. Her body crashed heavily to the ground like a kite with its string cut.

"Ah..."

Wang Dong groaned in pain and struggled to get back up.

Lin Yaoyang had already landed beside her. He stepped forward quickly and used a standard joint lock to twist her arm behind her back, pinning her waist with his knee and leaving her completely unable to move.

"Do you submit?" Lin Yaoyang looked down at her. "Call me Big Brother."

Wang Dong bit her lip and stubbornly turned her head aside. "No!"

They were very close. Lin Yaoyang could smell the faint fragrance drifting from her body. It was not perfume, but more like a naturally occurring body scent.

He chuckled. "Not submitting? Then don't blame me for being rude."

Wang Dong had yet to realize what was happening.

Smack!

A crisp sound rang out.

A burning pain shot through her butt.

Wang Dong's eyes widened, and her entire face instantly flushed scarlet.

"You...!"

"Do you submit?"

"N-No!" Her voice trembled, though it was unclear whether from anger or embarrassment.

She tried to circulate her Soul Power and break free, but Lin Yaoyang's hand was like an iron clamp. She could not move at all.

Smack! Smack!

Two more strikes.

"Call me Big Brother once, and I'll let you go this time."

Wang Dong's eyes had already reddened, filled with humiliation, anger, and grievance. She bit her lip and remained silent for a long while before finally squeezing out a mosquito-soft voice through her teeth:

"B-Big... Brother..."

"What? I can't hear you." Lin Yaoyang deliberately said.

"BIG BROTHER!!!" Wang Dong practically roared it.

Lin Yaoyang released her, stood up, and dusted off clothes that had no dust on them. "Remember to follow the rules."

Wang Dong climbed up from the ground, rubbing her painfully twisted arm before brushing the dirt from her clothes. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Yaoyang or the freshmen watching the spectacle from the windows around them.

"Did you hear me?" Lin Yaoyang asked again.

"...I heard you." Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz.

"Go back first. I'll bring you food." After saying that, Lin Yaoyang turned and headed toward the cafeteria.

Wang Dong stood where she was, watching his figure disappear into the twilight. It took her a long while to come back to her senses.

She gritted her teeth and muttered, "Bastard... just you wait! I'll definitely get revenge!"

With that, she lowered her head and hurried into the dormitory building, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Mu En, reclining in his chair by the entrance, watched the scene unfold. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly before he closed his eyes and let out a meaningful sigh.

"Youth really is wonderful..."

Inside the dormitory.

Wang Dong tidied up her bed, spread out her bedding, then threw herself onto it and buried her face in the pillow.

That burning sensation still lingered on her butt, along with an indescribable numbness.

She buried her face even deeper into the pillow.

Bastard, bastard, bastard...

That orange-red-haired bastard!

She had never suffered such humiliation in her entire life!

Didn't Big Dad and Second Dad say that, with my status and strength, I could swagger through the freshmen without fear?

She rolled over and stared at the ceiling.

That person's strength... really was formidable. Without even using his martial soul, he had beaten her so thoroughly that she could not fight back. Strength, speed, reactions, combat experience—he surpassed her in every aspect.

"Hmph..." she muttered. "What's so great about that..."

That night, Lin Yaoyang returned to the dormitory and set a meal on her table.

Two meat dishes, along with a steaming bowl of soup.

Wang Dong glanced at it but said nothing.

She silently sat up, picked up her chopsticks, and began eating.

Lin Yaoyang said nothing either. Sitting on his own bed, he took out a book on Soul Tool theory and began reading.

The dormitory was quiet, filled only with the sound of pages turning and chopsticks tapping against the rim of a bowl.

Halfway through her meal, Wang Dong secretly glanced at Lin Yaoyang.

His short orange-red hair glowed warmly beneath the lamplight. The lines of his profile were sharp and defined. When he focused on reading, he did not seem quite as punchable as he had during the fight.

"Hey," she suddenly said.

"Call me Big Brother!" Lin Yaoyang did not even look up.

"..."

Wang Dong really wanted to hit him, but when she thought of her butt, she held herself back.

"B-Big Brother, what's your name?"

"Lin Yaoyang."

"My name is Wang Dong." She paused, then added, "I was careless today. Next time, I'll definitely beat you."

"Then you'd better work hard!"

Lin Yaoyang turned a page and spoke calmly.

Wang Dong had expected a few words of comfort, but instead...

"Though no matter how hard you work, you still won't catch up to me."

"..."

Wang Dong huffed and lowered her head to continue eating.

She swore that one day, she would make Lin Yaoyang submit beneath her!
