Rogue Rabbit? Teacher Xiao Wu!

As expected, the duel between Tang San and Xiao Wu ended in a victory for Xiao Wu.

Without the use of hidden weapons, the current Tang San was bound to lose more often than he won against Xiao Wu, not to mention the surprise factor of her soft-style techniques.

When soul power cultivation levels were comparable, Xiao Wu's single-target burst damage was truly exaggerated.

Jiang Jiu pondered the techniques Xiao Wu had just displayed: the preemptive rapid kicks, the clever neutralization of Tang San's Iron Mountain Lean, and finally, the throw technique that utilized his own momentum against him.

The entire sequence had been fluid and natural.

When it came to actual combat as a Soft-Bone Rabbit soul master, one really had to learn from Xiao Wu.

Although the later stages of combat were all about exchanging energy beams, and relying solely on physical techniques felt somewhat outdated, it was absolutely essential to have such combat capability in the early stages.

On the other side, Xiao Wu had completed the transition of power for the position of Dorm Seven's boss amidst the chatter of Wang Sheng, Tang San, and the others.

"Boss? So, I'm your boss from now on."

"Hmm, do I also have to spar with newcomers as the boss?"

"Then, Xiao Jiu, shall we?"

Xiao Wu accepted the rules of Dorm Seven very quickly; or rather, such rules were exactly what she had hoped for.

She was very curious about the special "human appeal" that Jiang Jiu possessed.

Setting his bundle and school uniform aside, a red light flashed across Jiang Jiu's body as he directly activated his martial soul.

As expected! Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled.

Not realizing that Jiang Jiu would most likely hunt rabbit-type soul beasts in the future, Xiao Wu only felt a sense of closeness.

She also began her martial soul avatar, and an almost identical red light appeared; both of their eyes turned red, and their white rabbit ears looked remarkably similar.

"Rabbits? Two of them?" the work-study students exclaimed. Were this guy and the new boss related?

Having a clash of identical beast martial souls right at the start of the semester was too exciting.

The only pity was that there wasn't a shred of "bullying" atmosphere in the arena.

Xiao Wu was grinning, her entire demeanor relaxed and casual, as if she weren't fighting but chatting with a good friend.

"Xiao Jiu, our martial souls seem to be the same!"

Xiao Wu hopped around, reaching out to touch Jiang Jiu's ears.

Jiang Jiu stepped back to dodge, managing to hide his slight surprise just in time.

To be honest, Xiao Wu's movements hadn't been fast, but the pressure on Jiang Jiu was quite significant.

Having never really fought in either of his two lives, Jiang Jiu had completely disregarded her appearance as a six-year-old girl after seeing her coherent set of sacrifice-throw techniques.

Her leisurely, unhurried manner was that of a true judo master.

No openings—how was he supposed to fight?

While others who transmigrated to Douluo were busy flashing their soul skills, Jiang Jiu was busy contemplating the most simple and unadorned fighting techniques.

Thinking about it, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and even Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing all had inherited close-combat techniques; Ma Hongjun was a turret, while Ning Rongrong and Oscar were support types.

For someone from a civilian background, being a power-attack type turret was the way to go. In a sense, the existence of soul skills actually narrowed the gap between grassroots soul masters and family-backed ones; if self-created soul skills were monopolized, that would be a real disaster.

"Don't be shy!" The "hooligan rabbit" began to exert force, and Jiang Jiu continued to dodge.

The scene felt very wrong; Jiang Jiu briefly had the illusion that he was being teased by an older woman.

He couldn't take it anymore.

A straight punch!

The technique was far from standard, but with the addition of soul power, it carried some force.

It just went to show that it was hard not to reveal one's lack of experience when actually fighting—the gap between ideal and reality.

"Oh my, does Xiao Jiu want to touch my ears too?"

"Just say it, it's not like I won't let you!"

Xiao Wu's face was full of an innocent smile, but her hand easily coiled around his incoming fist.

Jiang Jiu felt as if his fist and arm had sunk into a quagmire; he couldn't break free or pull back.

With this soft-style technique, Xiao Wu could easily handle anyone whose strength and soul power were inferior to hers, and she could borrow the strength of those who were stronger to defeat them.

As long as the gap wasn't too wide, she could maintain a massive advantage. Or rather, without a difference in rank, once she got a hold of you like this, being thrown was basically inevitable.

The good news was that Xiao Wu hadn't immediately followed up with a rear-wrap knee strike or a rabbit-kick to send him flying.

The bad news was that a force was pulling his body forward along his arm, and he was now extremely close to Xiao Wu—almost nose-to-nose.

"It feels so good, hehe."

It was hard for Jiang Jiu to describe how it felt to have his martial-soul-manifested rabbit ears touched, but he wasn't one to suffer a loss, so he reached out with his other hand to grab Xiao Wu's rabbit ears.

"Ying! Why is it like this?" Xiao Wu's face flushed slightly as she deactivated her martial soul. The rabbit ears generated by the martial soul were much more sensitive than she had imagined; it felt completely different from when her mother used to stroke them.

Jiang Jiu followed suit and deactivated his Soft-Bone Rabbit martial soul; there was no longer any need to continue being beaten unilaterally.

The group of work-study students looked at each other, not knowing how to evaluate this "bullying."

The scene was quite aesthetic, though it lacked even a hint of tension.

In the end, it was Wang Sheng who took the lead in applauding.

"Boss is mighty!"

The others hurriedly followed suit, and Tang San joined in as well, though he felt a bit strange inside; after all, he had just been thrown flat on his back in a single move, even if his Mysterious Heaven Skill had protected him from any real harm.

"Alright, alright." Xiao Wu waved her hand, regaining her spirited demeanor as the "Big Sister Xiao Wu" mode returned.

With the "bullying" segment over and things back on track, the members of Dorm Seven began their formal self-introductions.

"Is there even any way for us to live anymore!"

Three newcomers had arrived: two were at level ten, and one was at level eight. They had to keep in mind that among the veteran students, only Wang Sheng was at level nine, and the others couldn't even compare to Jiang Jiu.

There was no time for them to dwell on their laments, as a teacher with light green hair arrived to deliver the bedding Yu Xiaogang had provided for Tang San, while also assigning the work-study students their tasks.

Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes, looking first at the small bundle she had brought, then at the large bundle Jiang Jiu had brought.

Just as she had expected, Jiang Jiu pulled out his bedding and prepared to make his bed.

"Ahem, Jiu, can we discuss something?"

"Go ahead." Jiang Jiu was very skilled at making his bed.

He hadn't fought much, but he had no issues when it came to chores.

"How about we share a blanket?"

With the same martial soul and being such good "sisters," she figured there shouldn't be any problem, Xiao Wu thought confidently.

"Men and women should not touch when handing or receiving."

"Hm? Ah? I'm a girl!" Xiao Wu was dazed for a moment before she realized what he meant, and she reached out a hand downward.

Jiang Jiu: "?"

"It really is... a boy, a boy... a boy seems even better?" Xiao Wu muttered to herself, and as if she had thought of something, her eyes grew increasingly bright.

"Can you let go first?"

This wasn't like grabbing his ear earlier; at this moment, Jiang Jiu couldn't muster any toughness at all.

"Oh, oh." Xiao Wu let go and hid her hands behind her back.

For some reason, she felt as though her intelligence had seized the high ground.

"In exchange, how about I teach you my Soft Technique?"

When she had cleanly and efficiently taken down Tang San earlier, she had kept a significant portion of her attention on Jiang Jiu, and she could tell he had a thirst for strength.
