"Excellent! From now on, you are my student, and also... a student of Notting Academy!"

"Really?"

"Don't worry. As the academy's honorary Master, I still have that much privilege!"

"That's wonderful! Thank you, Teacher!"

Tang San was beside himself with excitement. He had never expected Master to hold such a high position in the academy and even possess special admission privileges. It seemed he had chosen the right person to become his teacher this time!

Yu Xiaogang modestly waved his hand. "I merely have a bit of a friendship with the dean!"

As for the privilege he had mentioned?

He did not actually have one. He was merely a nominal Master at Notting Academy and did not teach there normally. This was called acting first and reporting later. Presumably, the dean of Notting Academy would not fall out with him over such a trivial matter.

Old Jack, standing to the side, was also sincerely happy for Tang San. Laughing, he said, "Hahaha, it seems that drunken father of yours isn't completely useless after all. At least he did the right thing in this matter!"

Tang San nodded slightly. Though he had no idea when his father had established a connection with one of the academy's Masters, he had at least successfully enrolled!

"Little San, hurry and go with Master to complete your enrollment procedures!"

Old Jack waved his hand, climbed back into the battered carriage he had arrived in, and returned alone to Holy Soul Village.

After bidding farewell to the village chief, Yu Xiaogang immediately took Tang San to his office.

Once he shut the door, he could no longer wait to confirm it. He asked:

"Little San, may I see your second martial soul?"

At those words, Tang San's heart immediately skipped a beat.

He had never revealed the martial soul in his left hand. His father had also warned him never to casually reveal its existence to others, and it was even less likely that his father would have voluntarily mentioned it in the letter!

"Master, who exactly are you?"

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang's image suddenly grew much taller in Tang San's heart.

Since it had already been exposed, there was no need for him to hide it. He directly revealed them—Blue Silver Grass and a small hammer slowly emerged in his left and right palms.

Even though Yu Xiaogang had long suspected it, his pupils still contracted as he exclaimed, "As expected, twin martial souls! And the second martial soul is... the Clear Sky Hammer!"

"The Clear Sky Hammer?"

Only then did Tang San learn the name of this martial soul. For it to make Master so excited, did it have some extraordinary origin?

"Little San, listen to me..."

While Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were having their secret discussion, Ao Yin had already completed his enrollment procedures. The academy had also arranged a dormitory for him as a work-study student!

"Seventh Dormitory!"

Ao Yin smiled faintly. Wasn't Seventh Dormitory the one Xiao Wu lived in?

It seemed that after snatching Tang San's work-study quota, he had also taken Tang San's treatment along with it.

At the thought of seeing Xiao Wu soon, a glint flashed in Ao Yin's eyes. Who wouldn't want to see what the goddess Xiao Wu looked like?

Thinking this, Ao Yin headed toward Seventh Dormitory.

Soon, he spotted the sign reading [Seventh Dormitory] and stepped inside.

[Ding! Check-in location refreshed—Notting Academy Seventh Dormitory!] [Remaining check-in attempts: 3] [Check in immediately?]

"Check in!"

[Check-in attempts -1] [Ding! Check-in at Notting Academy Seventh Dormitory successful. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a first-tier reward—Max-Level Charm!] [Max-Level Charm: Do you know what a walking screaming chicken is? You stay calm; everyone else is always the one screaming—damn, you're too charming!]

Oh, come on~

After checking the reward, Ao Yin completely lost it. System, something was seriously off with you!

Ao Yin looked himself over again. Though he wore a patched-up brown outfit and there was a little grime around his face, he did not look much like a child who had come out of the wilderness. An elusive attraction faintly radiated from him—noble, yet never gaudy.

He was instantly startled. "Even this outfit can't hide this damned charm? If I cleaned myself up properly, I wouldn't just slay women—I'd slay men too!"

Light blossomed in Ao Yin's eyes. Ruthless—absolutely ruthless!

With this max-level charm buff, was the system trying to make me drive fancy cars and become a scumbag?!

Bad! This system was too bad!

"But... I really like it!"

Ao Yin shook his head with a wry smile before finally giving it a one-word evaluation: "Perfect!"

After a brief moment of secret delight, Ao Yin entered the Seventh Dormitory as well.

However, the moment he stepped inside—

A black shadow suddenly came flying at him. He easily sidestepped it.

Bang!

A student crashed heavily to the floor.

"Ha ha ha, do you submit? I, Wang Sheng, am destined to be an assault-type Soul Master. I'm the only one fit to be the boss of this dormitory!"

Ao Yin instantly understood. These people were fighting over who would be the boss, and he had happened to walk in on it.

After knocking his opponent down, Wang Sheng swept his arrogant gaze across the room before it landed on Ao Yin.

"Newcomer? If you're staying here, you follow my rules. If you don't accept that, we fight. What's your name?"

Before Ao Yin could answer, Wang Sheng cut him off.

"Whoever you are, call me Boss first!"

Ao Yin snorted coldly and said flatly, "You're not worthy."

How dare some brat act so arrogantly? If he did not teach him a lesson, he would never know the difference between heaven and earth.

"What nerve. You want to take the boss's position too? Let's have a match!" Wang Sheng flared up. "My martial soul is the Battle Tiger. Show me yours!"

"You're not qualified to see my martial soul."

"You're courting death. Today, I'll teach you how to behave!"

Ao Yin did not even set down his backpack. He stepped forward with [Mist Step], his figure flashing like a ghost as he instantly closed in on Wang Sheng and struck out with his palm.

[Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms!]

Wang Sheng had only just begun circulating his soul power when Ao Yin was already upon him. In a panic, he crossed his arms to block, and the vague phantom of a Battle Tiger appeared behind him.

[Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms!] slammed fiercely into his arms.

A deafening boom erupted. Wang Sheng flew backward like a kite with its string cut, carving a long trail across the ground before crashing hard into a wooden bedframe and finally stopping.

Just one move had utterly crushed him.

Ao Yin withdrew his hand. He had checked in at Holy Soul Village for a full three months and obtained quite a few martial techniques. [Mist Step] and [Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms] were only two of them. Though they were not soul skills, the physical burst of [Myriad-Jun Strength] alone was enough to look down upon ordinary soul skills.

Just now, Ao Yin had used only thirty percent of his strength, yet it had been more than enough to deal with Wang Sheng.

"Only the strong have the right to speak. The position of Seventh Dormitory's boss belongs to me."

Wang Sheng slowly rose while supporting himself against the damaged bedframe, his heart filled with shock.

The other party had not even released his martial soul, yet he had still suppressed him with martial techniques alone. How could a new student possess such strength?

On the Douluo Continent, strength was supreme. The academy was no exception. If you could not win, you could only accept defeat.

He turned and shouted at the other students, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and call him Boss!"

Then he put on a flattering expression and looked at Ao Yin. "Boss, what's your name?"

"Ao Yin." His tone was calm.

"Boss Ao! From now on, you're the boss of our Seventh Dormitory. I was blind just now!"

Ao Yin secretly sighed. This man changed his attitude absurdly fast.

The moment Wang Sheng finished speaking, a sweet and soft girl's voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

"Wait! Why does he get to be the boss? I want to be the boss too!"

A girl skipped into view. Her eyes curved as she smiled. "My name is Xiao Wu—the Wu from dancing!"

Ao Yin's entire body stiffened, and his heart began pounding wildly.

Xiao Wu—the hundred-thousand-year-old Soft-Boned Rabbit in human form! He had never expected to meet her so soon.

Wang Sheng and the others watched eagerly from the side, continuously egging them on. "In the dormitory, fists do the talking. If you want to be the boss, just beat Ao Yin!"

"Ao Yin?"

"There, that's him!"

Everyone pointed in unison at Ao Yin, who was putting away his things. Xiao Wu's eyes instantly lit up, her gaze locking firmly onto his back.

"Sure! Then let's have a fight. Don't underestimate Xiao Wu!"

Ao Yin raised an eyebrow slightly. Was this forcing him to be ruthless toward a beauty?

He turned around and saw a girl standing by the door in a pink-and-white dress. Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, and her large watery eyes stared directly at him.

Ao Yin was not at all intimidated by Xiao Wu's gaze. He looked her up and down. Though she had not fully developed yet, her chest already showed some promise. The hint of exposed softness was like a peach not yet fully ripe, making one want to pluck it.

A faint smile curled Ao Yin's lips. "You really are a little beauty in the making."

Being looked over by Ao Yin like that did not make Xiao Wu feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he gave her the feeling of a gentle spring breeze, and she even felt an urge to get physically close to him.

Why do I suddenly have the urge to touch a human? How embarrassing!

But Xiao Wu quickly remembered that humans also had such impulses toward cute animals, and it suddenly seemed perfectly reasonable.

"Hehe, let me touch it later! Just once!"

At the thought, Xiao Wu rubbed her hands excitedly, eager to find the joy of being human through Ao Yin!

Hearing this, Ao Yin shrugged and chuckled. "Who gets to touch whom is still uncertain!"

"Come on!"

Ao Yin beckoned at Xiao Wu, ready for battle.

This little rabbit had tricky footwork and would not be easy to handle, but his Awei's Eighteen Forms were no joke either!

"My name is Ao Yin. Please enlighten me."

Before his words had even faded, Xiao Wu fiercely kicked off the ground with both legs. Her opening move was a Rabbit Kick.

Bang— The ground trembled slightly.

Xiao Wu soared into the air, her jet-black scorpion braid whipping wildly behind her as her pink-and-white short skirt fluttered in the wind.

Ao Yin looked up, his eyes widening as he stared, unable to look away. His mouth watered.

In the brief moment he was distracted, Xiao Wu suddenly vanished the next second.

When she reappeared, a jade-white leg was already sweeping toward his face.

Ao Yin swallowed. "White! Those legs are really white!"

But that kick carried considerable force. Ao Yin did not take it head-on, instead activating [Mist Step] and retreating slightly, narrowly evading the sweeping jade leg.

Yet that snowy, smooth leg was right before him, its pale skin dazzling his eyes. How could Ao Yin miss such a perfect opportunity?

The instant he retreated, he decisively extended [Dragon Claw Hand]. His fingertips lightly brushed over the smooth leg, sliding all the way down to her ankle before he seized it and yanked hard toward himself!

"Ah~"

Xiao Wu only felt as though her calf had been electrocuted. Then her ankle suddenly tightened, and her suspended body instantly lost its support, drawing a soft cry from her.

She wanted to kick off the ground again and borrow its force, but there was nothing beneath her feet now. With nowhere to gain leverage, her footwork immediately fell into disarray.

She twisted wildly in midair, her soft body struggling ceaselessly, just like a restless little rabbit.

With [Dragon Claw Hand] empowered by [Myriad-Jun Strength], Ao Yin held Xiao Wu tightly.

"Xiao Wu, behave yourself!"

Ao Yin gave a fierce pull, stepping forward half a pace as he intended to pin her to the ground and subdue her outright.

But Xiao Wu was no pushover either. Unable to break free, she immediately changed tactics.

The next second, Xiao Wu's waist turned bonelessly soft. She suddenly bent backward, borrowing the force of Ao Yin's pull to simply straddle his head.

At the same time, one of her legs instantly wrapped around Ao Yin's neck. Her entire body tipped forward, hanging down as both hands braced against the ground!

"Hehe! Get down here!"

"Waist Bow—"

Xiao Wu bent her waist like a crescent moon, using her hands for leverage. Her jade leg tightly cinched around Ao Yin's neck as she explosively exerted force through her waist, trying to fling him viciously forward with her legs.

Ao Yin felt the back of his neck tighten.

"A flexible technique?"

"Then I'll use strength to overcome flexibility!"

"Myriad-Jun Strength—"

Ao Yin grabbed Xiao Wu's ankles with both hands. No matter how terrifying her explosive power was, before Myriad-Jun Strength, no amount of twisting, coiling, or forceful wrenching could move the young man before her. He stood as steady as a mountain.

"So hard!"

Xiao Wu was shocked. No matter how she twisted, she could not move him. Instead, she had exerted too much force herself, and her body uncontrollably flipped upward.

Not only had she failed to throw Ao Yin over, she had ended up with her whole body straddling his head. Worst of all was that damned angle...

After the forward throw of Waist Bow failed, Xiao Wu was not simply sitting on the back of Ao Yin's neck—she was sitting right on his face.

Ao Yin's vision instantly went dark, and his mind went blank. He staggered twice, his center of gravity tilting, and was instead pressed straight to the ground by Xiao Wu.

His entire face was pinned beneath Xiao Wu, warm sensations washing over him. Ao Yin panicked as well, constantly wriggling his head in an attempt to break free.

However, Xiao Wu's competitive spirit had completely flared up!

"I finally managed to subdue you. Do you think I'll let you break free?"

Xiao Wu did not care about any of that. She continued adjusting her position, exerting even more force through her waist and hips to pin Ao Yin firmly to the ground.

From the perspective of Wang Sheng and the others watching from the side, Ao Yin's entire head was covered by Xiao Wu's skirt as he struggled without stop, making their scalps tingle.

"This fight is way too wild, isn't it?"

"Is this really something we can watch without paying?"

A scorching atmosphere instantly filled the entire dormitory. Ao Yin's whole face turned black with embarrassment, utterly mortified.

"Xiao Wu, I didn't want to use this move on you..."

"But if a warrior could endure it, his uncles and aunts couldn't!"

Ao Yin gave a cold snort.

"Of Awei's Eighteen Forms, every move comes at full price..."

"Old Man Pushes the Cart!"

Ao Yin thrust out a palm and pushed upward!

"Ah~~"

Xiao Wu was struck instantly. Her delicate body trembled, and the girl who had been bouncing around above him just moments ago let out a coquettish cry!

A domineering force surged upward. Not only could she not suppress it at all, but the immense power left her scalp tingling. It wasn't exactly painful, yet it brought an indescribable... discomfort!

"Stop!"

Xiao Wu panicked for the first time. She had never encountered such an attack before and hurriedly called for him to stop.

But how could Ao Yin possibly let up so easily?

"Ugh~ hn~"

"Don't!!!"

"Stop—"

Xiao Wu felt as though she were sitting on pins and needles, unbearably uncomfortable. She hurriedly sprang backward like a rabbit fleeing a hawk, rolled, and successfully broke free!

"Huff, huff, huff—"

"Xiao Wu... can't go on. Xiao Wu admits defeat!"

Xiao Wu panted heavily, her back already soaked through. She no longer had the strength to keep fighting.

She surrendered outright.

Ao Yin collapsed onto the ground, his cheeks burning. Using such a dirty trick the first time they met was so embarrassing that he wanted nothing more than to crawl into a crack in the ground.

Fortunately, he had deliberately concealed the angle just now. Besides, Wang Sheng and the others were still young and innocent, so they did not understand what was really going on.

Hearing Xiao Wu admit defeat, they only felt that Ao Yin's methods were powerful and ruthless.

"Since Ao Yin is clearly the more skilled, he'll be the boss of our Seventh Dormitory from now on!"

"If Brother Ao is the boss, I, Wang Sheng, am convinced!"

"Xiao Wu, are you convinced?"

"I am! Xiao Wu is truly convinced!"
