"Boss?" Tang San swept his gaze over the work-study students in Dorm Seven and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" Lin Hao smiled and set the school uniform in his hands on a nearby bed. Just as Tang San wondered what Lin Hao would do next, everyone else discovered that Lin Hao had vanished.

Tang San saw it clearly. Lin Hao took an extremely fast step, swiftly circling behind Tang San. He bent his right arm and drove his elbow into Tang San's waist.

At the same time, Lin Hao's right foot happened to remain in front of Tang San's right foot.

"Thud!" Tang San had only just reacted when his entire body stumbled forward, nearly falling over.

Tang San turned around. "You attacked me by surprise!"

Fortunately, Tang San had a solid stance. Otherwise, he would definitely have fallen flat on his face just now.

Lin Hao laughed. "A surprise attack is a form of strength in itself."

Most Tang Sect tactics were methods of surprise attack. It was laughable that Tang San thought Lin Hao should not have attacked him by surprise.

Lin Hao asked mockingly, "Tang San, don't tell me you can't accept defeat?"

"Please enlighten me." Tang San assumed a fighting stance and took a large step forward.

Tang San's step landed right in front of Lin Hao. At the same time, he guided with his left hand and pulled with his right. What looked like simple movements generated a pulling force that drew Lin Hao toward Tang San.

At that moment, Lin Hao flicked five wisps of pale green spiraling gale force from his fingers. They twisted together into a thin green line, carrying a piercing whistle through the air as they shot toward Tang San like lightning.

"Hm?" Tang San's expression changed drastically. He clearly had not expected a six-year-old child to know such profound techniques.

What was deadly was that Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon accelerated the Thousand Wind Gale's approach toward Tang San. By the time Tang San reacted, it was already too late.

The spiraling gale force swept Tang San up and slammed him into the wall with a thud.

If Lin Hao's first victory had been a surprise attack, then defeating Tang San a second time was pure strength.

The way Wang Sheng and the others looked at Lin Hao immediately changed somewhat.

Tang San climbed up from the ground, faint light wrapping around his feet.

"Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!"

Tang San's speed abruptly increased. He had no intention of becoming the boss of Dorm Seven, but he would not allow anyone to be stronger than him—especially not someone who could defeat him so easily.

That made Tang San feel utterly humiliated.

"Flying Catkin Movement Technique!"

At the same time, Lin Hao moved as well. He was just as fast, leaving an afterimage behind him.

The sounds of fists and kicks colliding rang out throughout the Dorm Seven dormitory.

The two fought for more than thirty exchanges. The longer they fought, the more shocked and unwilling Tang San became.

Although Tang San looked thin and small, he could swing a forging hammer nearly a thousand times every day, so his strength was far from ordinary. Yet even in a direct clash with Lin Hao, and even after using a Tang Sect movement technique, he still could not defeat Lin Hao.

"Again!"

Anger rose in Tang San's heart, and he unwillingly continued fighting Lin Hao.

Suddenly, just as Tang San's hands turned jade-like and he was about to exert force, he felt that Lin Hao's palm, the same size as his own, had instantly gained overwhelming divine strength.

"Fierce Tiger Fist!"

Tang San exerted force with both thumbs at once, while Lin Hao's fists shot out fiercely.

Tang San immediately felt his palms go numb. His Soul Power was completely suppressed by Lin Hao's, and then he lost his balance, staggering backward.

"Flying Catkin Movement Technique!"

At that moment, after knocking Tang San back, Lin Hao's speed suddenly surged. A snapping kick erupted with force through his forward charge and struck Tang San in the chest, accelerating his retreat.

With a bang, Tang San was kicked into the wall, leaving his back numb from the impact.

Lin Hao's beautiful combination attacks gave Wang Sheng and the others quite a spectacle.

Tang San grimaced in pain and lightly stretched his muscles and bones. Looking at Lin Hao in confusion, he asked, "Where did you learn so many things?"

The Flying Catkin Movement Technique rivaled Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.

Thousand Wind Gale not only possessed the ability to control, but also carried the cutting force of wind blades.

Especially the Fierce Tiger Fist—it happened to suppress the not-yet-mastered Mysterious Jade Hand in terms of strength.

One miraculous combat technique after another left Tang San feeling powerless.

Tang San truly wanted to ask whether this was really an ability a normal six-year-old child could possess.

No.

That was not the important part.

They had both come from the same village. Tang San had never seen Lin Hao cultivate; he had only seen him run and do push-ups. In Tang San's mind, Lin Hao did not understand any secret techniques at all.

Faced with the question, Lin Hao smiled. "Just because you have secret techniques, does that mean no one else is allowed to have them?"

Uh!

Tang San was rendered speechless by the retort.

To deal with Tang San and make a name for himself on Douluo Continent, Lin Hao had deliberately chosen these combat techniques in Dou Qi Continent.

After the shock on Tang San's face faded, he returned to normal. "Fine. From now on, you're the boss of Dorm Seven!"

Lin Hao caught that subtle shift in expression.

Tang San did not care. No, Tang San was still confident.

Where did that confidence come from?

Lin Hao pondered for a moment and saw through Tang San's thoughts.

Tang San had transmigrated to Douluo Continent, and the Tang Sect's secret techniques had to be cultivated anew—especially Mysterious Jade Hand and Purple Demon Eye.

Moreover, as Tang San's cultivation increased, the power of some Tang Sect secret techniques would grow stronger as well.

That was why Tang San still had confidence in his heart.

"Excuse me, is this Dorm Seven?"

A girl's voice came from the doorway.

Everyone followed the sound and looked over. A girl stood at the entrance, carrying a bundle in her hand.

Wang Sheng raised a hand to scratch the back of his head and said dumbly, "Don't tell me another work-study student has arrived? That's strange. Why are there three work-study students this year?"

The girl's black scorpion braid hung past her hips, and her pretty little face was fair with a rosy tint.

Xiao Wu entered Dorm Seven, but Wang Sheng blocked her path.

Xiao Wu blinked and asked, "Why are you blocking my way?"

Wang Sheng explained, "According to the rules of Dorm Seven, the boss has to test the skills of newcomers. It's the rule. If you win, you can become the boss of Dorm Seven directly!"

"That sounds interesting. Come on, have your boss fight me." Xiao Wu raised her hand and passed the bundle she held to Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng accepted the bundle and looked toward Lin Hao.

Lin Hao walked up to Xiao Wu.

Big eyes, shallow dimples when she smiled. With her pink, chubby appearance, she truly was cute and lovable.

Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes, a sweet smile appearing on her face. "Hello, my name is Xiao Wu. Wu as in dancing."

"Hello, I'm Lin Hao, the boss of Dorm Seven. My Martial Soul is the Realm Profound Talisman."

"My Martial Soul is a rabbit, the very cute kind of little white rabbit. Can we start fighting now?" Excitement appeared on Xiao Wu's face.

She did not believe it. She was a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast that had taken human form. Even though she had only condensed one Spirit Ring now, her accumulated combat experience remained. Even if she had no choice but to take human form, Xiao Wu did not believe she could not defeat a child.
