"So, Tang San, are you willing to let me be your teacher?" Tang San was left bewildered by his words and was just about to nod.

Lin Yang yanked Tang San away. "Tang San, you actually believe someone trying to fool a child? He was just making wild guesses."

"Speaking of children, aren't you younger than me?" Tang San said speechlessly.

Lin Yang dragged Tang San away. "Hurry up and go." "Stop pulling me. I can walk by myself." Yu Xiaogang was left standing alone, disheveled in the wind.

"Um... Tang San, do you know how to get to the dormitory?" Lin Yang asked awkwardly, scratching his head. He secretly berated himself—how had he completely forgotten something as important as the fact that he had no sense of direction?!

Tang San could not help laughing when he heard that. "Haha, I told you already. What would you do without me? Hurry up and call me Third Brother so I can hear it."

"Hmph, I'm not calling you that!" Lin Yang stubbornly replied. But when he saw Tang San reach for his hair, his face immediately changed, and he hurriedly begged for mercy. "All right, all right, I'll say it! Third Brother, okay?" Though unwilling, Lin Yang had no choice but to call him Third Brother.

"Mm, that's more like it. Come on, follow me. I guarantee we'll find the dormitory." Tang San proudly led Lin Yang toward the dorms.

Before long, the two arrived outside Dorm Seven. Tang San gently pushed open the door, but just then, a figure suddenly charged out from inside and lunged at him. Tang San reacted quickly, raising an arm to block the attack with ease. He then grabbed the person's arm and flung him hard. With a whoosh, the person spun through the air like a top, making a full 360-degree turn before crashing heavily to the ground.

"Ow! That hurts like hell!" The person climbed up, rubbing his backside. "Who are you? Why did you attack us?"

Tang San frowned at the reckless fellow before him. "My name is Tang San. I'm a new student. You're the one who attacked without any reason. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Hehe, sorry about that! My name is Wang Sheng, and I'm the boss of this dormitory. We have an unwritten rule here: every new student has to spar with me. If they beat me, they become the new boss of this dormitory!" Wang Sheng patted the dust off himself and explained with a grin.

"Me? I'm the boss?" Tang San was dumbfounded.

Lin Yang snickered from the side. Then a young voice came from behind them. "Is this Dorm Seven?" Everyone turned around at the sound. A girl stood there in a pink dress, with a pair of rabbit ears on her head, a pink rabbit backpack at her waist, and a rabbit-shaped bundle in her hands.

Wang Sheng whispered into Tang San's ear, "Boss, go on. Show her who's boss." Tang San hesitated, and Lin Yang gave him a push. Tang San was so embarrassed he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Xiao Wu, as in dancing." As she spoke, Xiao Wu looked over the others.

"Hello, my name is Tang San. I'm the... the dorm leader here. Just call me by my name. May I ask what your martial spirit is?"

"My martial spirit is the Soft Bone Rabbit, a little white rabbit. So, can I go in now?" "Ah? Well, Dorm Seven has a rule. New work-study students have to show their strength, so I'd like to spar with you." Tang San was embarrassed beyond words.

Lin Yang snickered. He had already seen Tang San suffer setbacks who knew how many times today.

Xiao Wu tilted her head. "Are you sure?" "I'm sure." Tang San nodded.

"Okay." Xiao Wu raised the bundle in her hand, and Lin Yang took it from her so he could watch Tang San get humiliated.

Xiao Wu's figure flashed as she launched the first attack like a nimble swallow. After landing steadily from a beautiful backflip, she immediately spun and kicked, the fierce wind from her leg shooting straight toward Tang San.

Facing the swift attack, Tang San remained calm. He also performed a crisp backflip, easily dodging it and landing with both feet planted as firmly as roots.

But Xiao Wu had no intention of letting up. She pressed forward and launched another flying kick, fast as lightning. Tang San remained unhurried, raising an arm to block it with ease.

The two exchanged several rounds, neither able to gain the upper hand. Then Xiao Wu's eyes flashed. Spotting a fleeting opening, she suddenly lifted her leg and kicked toward Tang San.

Tang San failed to dodge in time and was knocked several steps back by the kick. But he quickly regained his footing and, before Xiao Wu could attack again, swung his fist at her.

In an instant, fist and foot collided with a heavy thud. A powerful blast of air erupted from the point of impact, like a gale that sent the room's candles swaying wildly before their flames flickered out one by one.

Taking advantage of Tang San being knocked back and not yet steady on his feet, Xiao Wu did not hesitate to use her ultimate move—Waist Bow! Her delicate body arched like a fully drawn bow, unleashing astonishing strength as she drove a heavy kick into Tang San.

Tang San had no time to react. His whole body flew backward like a kite with its string cut, and he ended up making a thoroughly miserable face-first landing in front of everyone, drawing cries of surprise from the surrounding crowd.

Watching such a thrilling battle, Lin Yang was beside himself with excitement and clapped wildly. "Good! That was amazing!" At the same time, Tang San groaned inwardly, Looks like becoming the boss of Dorm Seven is out of the question this time. I might even be the shortest-serving boss ever...

Xiao Wu chuckled. "Tang San, are you okay?" Tang San got to his feet. "I lost." He looked at the laughing Lin Yang, his face dark with frustration. Whose side are you even on? Tang San then looked at Xiao Wu. "You won. According to the rules, you'll be the boss of Dorm Seven from now on—our boss."

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. "Boss? That sounds fun. All right, from now on, I'm your boss."

Tang San scratched his head while Lin Yang struggled to hold back his laughter. Tang San casually found a bed and set down the bundle. Xiao Wu looked around, then turned toward the bed beside Tang San. The person sitting on it immediately understood. "Boss, you sit here."

Xiao Wu sat on the bed. Lin Yang placed her bundle on it, then walked to the bed on Tang San's other side, put down his own bundle, and lay down.

Xiao Wu thought for a moment. "Tang San, what level is your soul power?"

"Innately full soul power," Tang San replied as he sorted through his things.

Wang Sheng thought to himself, No wonder he was stronger than me.

Tang San seemed to remember something and looked at Lin Yang. "Did you bring bedding?" Lin Yang shook his head. "Didn't you bring it?" Tang San stared at him in shock. "Didn't you bring it?" Lin Yang and Tang San stared at each other.
