Another newcomer arrived in Room Seven!
The older students, such as Wang Sheng, immediately began egging Lu Chen on:
"Boss Lu Chen, another newcomer's here! Let her learn the rules of Room Seven!"
In truth, the only person Lu Chen wanted to teach a lesson was Tang San. Unfortunately, Tang San would not take the bait.
The only people he hated were Tang Hao and his son, Tang San. As for this little girl, who was actually Xiao Wu, Lu Chen had no particular thoughts about her.
But because of Room Seven's rules, Lu Chen still stepped forward and said calmly:
"My name is Lu Chen, and my martial soul is blue silver grass. I'm currently the boss of Room Seven. We have a rule here: every newcomer has to fight the boss. Whoever wins becomes the new boss."
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, before the little girl could react, Tang San immediately jumped out and declared righteously:
"Lu Chen, what's so impressive about bullying a little girl?"
"You don't know how to hold back. I absolutely won't allow you to bully the weak! If it comes to it, I'll fight you in her place!"
At that moment, Tang San radiated righteousness, like a gallant hero rescuing a beauty in a martial arts novel.
Just imagining this delicately sculpted little girl being bullied by Lu Chen made Tang San feel as though knives were twisting in his heart.
And so, he bravely stepped forward without fear!
He would take this little girl's place, defeat Lu Chen, the bully of Room Seven, and restore peace to their dormitory!
Seeing Tang San jump out, Lu Chen immediately perked up, rubbing his hands together, eager to try. This truly was an unexpected gain. If Tang San wanted to fight in Xiao Wu's place, he could finally teach Tang San a lesson.
He agreed without a second thought:
"Sure! If you're asking for a beating, I couldn't ask for anything better..."
But at that moment, the little girl objected. Her willow-leaf brows bristled as she strode forward and shoved Tang San out of her way:
"Who are you? What gives you the right to take my place? Did I ask you to stand up for me?"
"Get out of my way! Don't interfere with me becoming the boss!"
Shoved aside by Xiao Wu, Tang San stared wide-eyed, his face full of disbelief. He had come to help her. Even if she was not deeply grateful to him, she should not have been so cold.
It made him look utterly stupid, like a clown through and through.
After pushing Tang San aside, the little girl planted her hands on her slender waist and walked up to Lu Chen. Looking up at him, she said eagerly:
"My name is Xiao Wu. Wu as in dance!"
"My martial soul is a rabbit. So as long as I beat you, I'll be the boss of Room Seven from now on?"
Lu Chen was filled with helplessness. Why was it so hard to give Tang San a beating?
Hearing Xiao Wu's question, he nodded perfunctorily and said casually:
"That's right. As long as you beat me, you'll be the new boss of Room Seven."
Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled. Back in Star Dou Forest, she had been Da Ming and Er Ming's big sister and boss. This time, she had taken human form and come to the human world.
For Xiao Wu, who was used to being the boss, wasn't becoming the boss of Room Seven only natural?
Xiao Wu's petite body tensed. Leaning forward and bending her legs, she poised herself to pounce and said softly:
"Then you'd better be careful!"
As her words fell, Xiao Wu drove power through her legs and leaped into the air. Using the momentum of her descent, she kicked toward Lu Chen.
Since Lu Chen did not care whether he won or lost, he was somewhat casual. Facing Xiao Wu's incoming kick, he reached for her ankle, intending to grab it and throw her away.
Xiao Wu reacted swiftly. Seeing through Lu Chen's intention, she forcibly twisted her waist in midair to change her posture.
With an incredibly light movement, she dodged Lu Chen's grasping hand, stepped onto his arm, and used it to propel herself forward, darting behind him.
She planted both feet on Lu Chen's shoulders and hooked her insteps around his neck. Her waist seemed as supple as if it had no bones as she bent backward into a C-shape, like a powerful bow drawn taut.
Xiao Wu exerted strength throughout her body and cried out:
"Over you go!"
There was no denying that Xiao Wu's assault was sharp, her movements swift, agile, and varied. The entire sequence flowed like drifting clouds and running water. An ordinary person caught off guard would have been thrown by her at this point.
Unfortunately, Lu Chen was a powerhouse strong enough to drag an ox. His formidable physique gave him an exceptionally stable footing.
Simply tightening every muscle in his body sharply was enough to counter the burst of force Xiao Wu used to try to throw him.
Xiao Wu was left completely stuck!
She had not expected Lu Chen to be so strong. With the enormous gap in strength between them, she could not throw him even when she used every ounce of her strength.
Lu Chen smiled calmly. This time, he swiftly reached out and grabbed Xiao Wu's ankles, preparing to throw her away.
Xiao Wu still wanted to become the boss of Room Seven. How could she willingly admit defeat?
Moreover, Lu Chen had stirred her competitive spirit. This time, no matter what, she would throw him.
Hooking her insteps tightly around Lu Chen's neck, Xiao Wu suddenly shouted in a low voice:
"Martial Soul Possession!"
In an instant, an astonishing change came over Xiao Wu. Her legs grew longer, their proportions relative to her body becoming extremely exaggerated, brimming with explosive power.
Her originally black eyes turned red after martial soul possession, and a pair of furry rabbit ears grew from her head.
But that was not the most astonishing part. Most astonishing of all was the bright yellow spirit ring that rose around Xiao Wu.
A yellow soul ring, a hundred-year spirit ring!
At this sight, Tang San, Wang Sheng, and all the others were dumbstruck. They had never imagined that this seemingly adorable little girl was already a one-ring spirit master.
Tang San had only enrolled this year and did not yet know what a yellow soul ring meant. He was simply shocked that Xiao Wu was already a one-ring spirit master.
Wang Sheng and the others had already attended school for several years and knew full well how precious this yellow soul ring was.
As they looked at Xiao Wu, their faces were filled with envy and awe.
As for Xiao Wu, her face was full of the stubborn refusal to lose. Her yellow soul ring suddenly blazed with light:
"First Spirit Skill, Waist Bow!"
Xiao Wu's first spirit skill could increase her waist strength by 100%, allowing her to unleash even more terrifying power.
With the enhancement from Waist Bow, the astonishing strength Xiao Wu unleashed put even Lu Chen under tremendous pressure.
A measure of seriousness appeared on Lu Chen's face as well. He reacted swiftly, sinking his shoulders and elbows, spreading his legs, and settling into a horse stance. Like he had taken root, he gripped the ground firmly.
Xiao Wu was left stuck once again!
Even after martial soul possession and using her first spirit skill, the full force she unleashed was still not enough to throw Lu Chen.
Just how immense was Lu Chen's strength?
Xiao Wu truly could not imagine it!
At that moment, as Xiao Wu's burst of strength reached its limit, Lu Chen exerted force through both hands gripping her ankles and hoisted her into the air. He swung her in circles, then from side to side, then up and down, saying as he swung her:
"Do you yield? Do you admit defeat?"
