Lin Fan asked,
"Tang San... Yes, he enrolled this morning. He's a work-study student, and he's been assigned to Dorm Seven..."
Director Li quickly found Tang San's records in the files beside him.
"Good. Then assign me to Dorm Seven too."
Lin Fan made up his mind at once. It was true what they said: better late than never. If he'd arrived just one day later, Xiao Wu would have been sharing a bed with that guy Tang San!
"That wouldn't be appropriate... That's the work-study students' dormitory. It's dirty and messy..."
Director Li looked troubled. If this young master suffered any mistreatment here and complained to the crown prince, Notting Academy might not survive it!
"Just do as I say. I came to school to study, not to receive special treatment. Treat me like an ordinary student. There's no need to make an exception for me!"
Lin Fan cut Director Li off.
"All right..."
Director Li stopped arguing. After completing the registration, he led Lin Fan to the dormitory building.
"The room at the far southeastern corner is Dorm Seven. If you can't get used to it, you can come to me anytime, and I'll help you change dorms..."
Director Li was only halfway through speaking when he realized Lin Fan wasn't listening at all. He was already running toward the dormitory.
The dormitory door was open. A few small, thin figures were busy making their beds inside. When they saw Lin Fan appear in the doorway, everyone turned to look at him.
"Are you new here? I'm Xiao Wu. Wu, as in dancing. What's your name?"
A lively figure bounced over to Lin Fan, carrying a faint, delicate scent.
"What a pretty girl!"
Lin Fan couldn't help exclaiming.
The little girl looked about six or seven, standing there with a sweet, charming air!
Her lovely little face was fair with a rosy flush, soft and pink like a peach. She made him want to take a bite!
Her long black hair was braided into a scorpion braid that fell past her bottom and all the way to her calves!
She even had two cute rabbit ears on top of her head. They looked like they'd be fun to hold and play with!
"So this is Xiao Wu? She's such a cute little girl. You'd never guess she was a hundred-thousand-year-old witch in disguise!"
Lin Fan muttered to himself, then reached out to introduce himself.
"My name is Lin Fan. I hope we'll get along."
"Lin Fan... What an ordinary name..."
"But since you're new, you have to fight me. If you win, you'll be the boss of Dorm Seven. If you lose, you'll be my underling, and you'll have to call me Sister Xiao Wu from now on. Got it?!"
Xiao Wu planted her hands on her hips, striking the pose of a big sister. Her babyish voice and adorable appearance made her all the cuter!
"Isn't that a little unfair? You're so cute. What if I hurt you? I'd feel bad!"
Lin Fan smiled as he spoke.
"Hmph! You're underestimating me! Take this!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Xiao Wu launched a whip kick at Lin Fan's head!
"She may be cute, but I can't spoil her too much. A little lesson should do her good!"
Lin Fan made up his mind. Facing Xiao Wu's attack, he instinctively raised his right arm to block.
Chapter 6: Brutally Beating Tang San
Bang!
The instant they made contact, Xiao Wu's expression changed. Lin Fan's arm was as hard as steel, and it easily blocked her attack!
With the Primordial Ancestral Dragon Martial Soul, Lin Fan's body had been greatly strengthened. And the gap in their Soul Power was enormous. Xiao Wu's attack couldn't hurt him in the slightest!
"If brute force won't work, I'll use softness!"
When her attack failed, Xiao Wu hurriedly changed tactics. She hooked both legs around Lin Fan's waist, braced her hands against the ground, and suddenly thrust her hips, trying to flip him over!
But her hopes were high and reality was harsh. The soft-style techniques she was so proud of had no effect on Lin Fan. He remained rooted to the spot like a rock!
Lin Fan smiled slightly, reached out, and slipped an arm around Xiao Wu's waist. Then he lifted her with a forceful tug!
Just like that, the two of them ended up locked in a tight embrace, with Xiao Wu clinging to Lin Fan like an octopus!
"Y-you... Let go of me, you lecher!"
Xiao Wu's face turned bright red in an instant!
Though she had lived for a hundred thousand years, she had never been this close to a member of the opposite sex!
"You were the one who wrapped your legs around me first, and now you're calling me a lecher? In that case, I'll show you what a real lecher looks like!"
Smack!
Lin Fan slapped Xiao Wu on the bottom. Everyone in the dormitory stared at them, stunned into silence!
"Do you admit defeat?!"
Lin Fan stared at Xiao Wu as he asked.
"You lecher!"
Xiao Wu was both furious and embarrassed. No one had ever dared to treat her this way, and even her mother had never slapped her on the bottom!
Smack!
Lin Fan didn't care. He slapped her again!
"I'll bite you to death!"
Xiao Wu refused to back down. She sank her teeth into Lin Fan's shoulder!
"Hiss!"
Lin Fan sucked in a sharp breath from the pain. But even though it hurt, why did it feel strangely good? Could he have a thing for being abused?
"Congratulations, Master. You have obtained 200 Villain Points!"
Just then, Daji's voice sounded in Lin Fan's mind.
"Villain Points? Did that guy Tang San get jealous because he saw us hugging so closely?!"
Lin Fan had guessed right. Watching the two of them embrace, Tang San felt a sudden surge of jealousy.
"Let Xiao Wu go. If you want to fight, I'll fight you!"
A boy stepped out from beside a bed. Lin Fan could tell at a glance that the boy's prematurely mature, pretentious air could only belong to Tang San!
"Little San, even I couldn't beat him. Are you sure you can take him?!"
Xiao Wu slipped down from Lin Fan. Her little face was red with anger!
Although Xiao Wu didn't want to admit it, Lin Fan really was stronger than she was. Tang San had lost to her in a match earlier, so how could he possibly beat Lin Fan?
"Don't worry, Sister Xiao Wu. I wasn't serious when I fought you before. I won't hold back against him!"
Tang San spoke with great confidence.
"Ha! Just what I wanted!"
"There isn't enough room in here. Let's go outside!"
Lin Fan had been looking for an excuse to teach Tang San a lesson, and now the guy had brought his face right over to be punched!
The two of them went to an open area outside the dormitory. Xiao Wu and the other work-study students followed to watch the fun.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're already a Soul Master, aren't you?!"
Tang San stared intently at Lin Fan. Judging from the earlier fight between him and Xiao Wu, this guy's Soul Power Level had to be quite high!
"Good eye. But I don't need to activate my Martial Soul to deal with you."
Lin Fan smiled and shrugged, his words full of disdain!
"What a boast!"
Tang San stopped talking. He stepped forward with his left foot, leaving trails of afterimages as his body vanished in an instant. By the time everyone reacted, he had already appeared behind Lin Fan and thrown a punch!
"What incredible speed!"
Xiao Wu's mouth fell open in surprise. It seemed Tang San hadn't been lying. He really had held back when he fought her!
"Go, Little San! Teach him a good lesson!"
Xiao Wu couldn't help getting excited. Lin Fan was the first person who had ever dared to slap her on the bottom in front of everyone, so she still held a bit of a grudge!
But in the next instant, everyone stared in shock. Tang San's punch had struck Lin Fan, yet passed straight through him!
"Your speed still isn't fast enough!"
Lin Fan had already appeared behind Tang San, who stood there in stunned disbelief. He grinned at him as he spoke.
"How is that possible?!"
Tang San was completely dumbfounded. He had just used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to launch his attack. Forget a five- or six-year-old child—even a Soul Grandmaster above level twenty shouldn't have been able to react in time!
Tang San had his own cheat, but Lin Fan's was even more ridiculous! The Lingbo Microsteps he'd obtained from the system were even faster than Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!
"Now it's my turn!"
Lin Fan had no intention of explaining. His body blurred into an afterimage as he punched Tang San in the back!
Tang San refused to back down and turned, throwing a punch of his own!
Boom!
A powerful wave of energy spread out from the point where their fists collided!
Thud, thud!
After their exchange, Tang San staggered back dozens of steps before he finally steadied himself. A trace of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth!
By contrast, Lin Fan remained rooted to the spot like a rock, looking completely relaxed!
"That's it?"
Lin Fan shook his head. Tang San was too weak right now!
"It's not over yet!"
Unwilling to accept defeat, Tang San released all the Soul Power in his body and charged at Lin Fan again!
Tang San knew he could no longer gain an advantage over Lin Fan in speed. He could only rely on his Mystic Jade Hand and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to neutralize Lin Fan's attacks!
But all the fancy moves in the world were useless against overwhelming strength. Lin Fan overpowered him with sheer force, his attacks simple and brutal. Tang San was driven backward again and again, his body covered in fist and boot prints!
Bang!
In less than a minute, Lin Fan kicked Tang San in the chest and sent him flying several meters away, ending the tedious fight.
At the same time, Daji's voice sounded in his mind. This brutal beating of Tang San had earned Lin Fan another 800 Villain Points. Added to the previous 200, he now had 1,000 in total!
"You're too weak right now. Keep cultivating and come challenge me again!"
"Oh, there's a teacher at the academy named Yu Xiaogang. You could take him as your master. You should improve quite a bit."
Lin Fan came up with the idea on the spot.
Beating the current Tang San brought him no satisfaction at all. It was like a max-level expert bullying a beginner in the starting village. Rather than keep doing something so dull, he might as well bring Tang San and Yu Xiaogang together. They certainly seemed cut from the same cloth!
Besides, the more close companions Tang San had, the more Lin Fan could torment him by striking at his friends and family, earning even more Villain Points!
It was a strategy of slow, steady gains, like harvesting leeks: cut one crop, and another would grow. Tormenting Tang San over and over again was what made it fun!
"Boss, you're amazing! From now on, I, Wang Sheng, am your underling. Just tell me what you need!"
"Me too! Long live the boss!"
Just then, the stunned roommates came to their senses. Their faces full of admiration, they ran over and surrounded Lin Fan!
Chapter 7: Luring Xiao Wu Away
"Of course, of course. With me looking out for you, no one at Notting Academy will dare bully you!"
