What Will Your Surname Be From Now On?

When Ye Yu and Tang San returned to Nuoding Academy, they walked through the campus and heard the other students talking.

"I heard Boss Xiao took a bunch of people to the hill behind the academy to teach those work-study students a lesson."

"Those work-study students are done for. Boss Xiao is the boss of the second-years."

"Why teach them a lesson? To let the work-study students know the academy's rules? That they're a cut below everyone else?"

"Probably..."

Hearing this, Ye Yu and Tang San exchanged a glance, then hurried toward the back hill.

The back hill of Nuoding Junior Academy was really just a small mound. Once there was no one around, Tang San used Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and rushed ahead like a gust of wind, but Ye Yu was even faster, far outstripping him.

Tang San had long since gotten used to it. You couldn't compare yourself to a monster.

At that moment, the atmosphere on the back hill was tense and hostile. There were two factions: one was the second-year students led by Boss Xiao, and the other was the work-study students led by Xiao Wu.

There were more than twenty work-study students, while Boss Xiao's side had over thirty.

Boss Xiao's name was Xiao Chenyu. He looked at the work-study students with a face full of contempt and disdain.

"Do you really think you can win? Little girl, you'd better get ready to be my pet. Your Martial Soul is a rabbit, right?"

Xiao Wu was just as disdainful and said confidently, "The only one losing will be you. From now on, you won't be any boss. You'll be my little underling, and you'll have to call me Sister Xiao Wu."

"Haha." Xiao Chenyu felt as if he had heard a hilarious joke and said arrogantly, "I'm the second-year boss. You think you can do that?"

Wang Sheng and the others were somewhat worried and reminded her, "Sister Xiao Wu, if he could become the second-year boss, his strength must be great. He's already level fifteen."

Xiao Wu was not afraid in the slightest. "Only by beating them can we make these people stop looking down on us. It's also the fastest way."

Xiao Chenyu mocked, "What, scared? Are we still doing best two out of three, one-on-one? Who are you sending out for the first round?"

"Hmph, we're not scared." Wang Sheng said regretfully, "If Brother San and Boss were here, you wouldn't be able to win a single round!"

"Brother San? Boss? That new student who beat up Cai Kun and Rong Yao? Speaking of which, I was surprised when I heard about that. I'd actually like to see what he's got."

Wang Sheng said worshipfully, "You can't beat Brother San or Boss. Besides, they went to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings. Once they come back, they'll definitely be even stronger, and you'll be even less of a match."

Xiao Chenyu was extremely disdainful. "You praise them a little and you really think I think highly of them? Even if they can beat Cai Kun and Rong Yao, they still can't compare to me."

Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "I'll take the first round."

Xiao Chenyu casually waved a hand behind him. "Liu Xu, you go."

"Got it, Boss Xiao."

Liu Xu stepped forward, looking at Wang Sheng with extreme disdain.

Wang Sheng's expression turned grave. It was actually Liu Xu, with Soul Power at level fourteen.

A Soul Ring appeared around Liu Xu, a white Soul Ring, and his Martial Soul appeared in his hand: a two-meter-long staff.

Liu Xu was extremely disdainful. "Wang Sheng, I taught you a lesson before. If I don't beat you so badly today that you have to lie in bed for several days, then my surname isn't Liu."

Just then, Ye Yu arrived first.

"Wang Sheng, leave it to me."

Hearing the voice, Wang Sheng's face lit up. He looked toward the sound and said happily, "Boss!"

Xiao Wu and the work-study students looked over. It was Ye Yu, and they were very happy.

The work-study students naturally all knew Ye Yu's name. He had beaten Cai Kun and Rong Yao, and his fame had already shaken Nuoding Academy. He was their idol.

Wang Sheng knew he was no match for Liu Xu, so he retreated into the group. He could not let the work-study students lose their chance to hold their heads high in the future just because he lost later, so he left it to Boss.

Liu Xu sized Ye Yu up, slightly interested. "So you're Ye Yu? Fighting you will actually make this a little interesting."

Ye Yu asked, "Do those words you said just now still count?"

"Hmph, of course. You still dare say that when facing me? If I can't beat you, then my surname isn't Liu."

Ye Yu mocked, "Then what will your surname be after you lose? Cai? Or Shen?"

Cai? Shen? What did that mean?

Liu Xu froze, and Xiao Chenyu and the others behind him also failed to react at first. They muttered the names together under their breath.

Cai Xu...

Shen Xu... kidney deficiency?

Liu Xu's expression changed. Although he did not know what Cai Xu meant, he understood why the surname Shen was used. It meant kidney deficiency!

"Damn it!" Liu Xu was furious and said in a low voice, "I won't lose!"

At this moment, Tang San also arrived. He had no intention of stepping in and was ready to watch the show.

Liu Xu was very angry inside and wanted to give Ye Yu a fierce beating. He warned, "Although this is a duel, in a duel, blades and fists have no eyes and are hard to hold back. If you get injured, don't blame me."

"Of course. If it's you, the same applies."

"Hmph, I'm one of the top second-year students. I'm not someone Cai Kun and Rong Yao can compare to!"

Ye Yu attacked directly, not wanting to waste any more words. His body rushed forward, and his right hand grabbed toward Liu Xu's neck.

"Hmph, you're not even using a Soul Skill? Then you're definitely losing." Liu Xu was confident.

The students behind Boss Xiao felt certain Liu Xu would win.

"Is Ye Yu not releasing his Martial Soul or showing his Soul Ring? Didn't he go hunt Soul Beasts before? Did he fail and come back empty-handed?"

"I think he got a ten-year Soul Ring and is too embarrassed to show it. The Soul Rings of us top second-year students are all eighty or ninety years old."

"I heard his Martial Soul is the Waste Martial Soul, Black Tail Flower. Releasing it won't do much anyway. But I heard he has Innate Divine Strength, and his physique is unusual."

"Hmph. How could he possibly be Liu Xu's match by relying on physical strength?"

"Liu Xu, you can do it! Once you defeat the working students' boss, their morale will drop sharply too."

Liu Xu naturally thought the same. He would not underestimate his opponent just because he was a working student. Instead, he would go all out.

"What an ordinary attack." Seeing Ye Yu charge straight at him, and when Ye Yu's hand was less than two meters away, the long staff in his hands whistled out and smashed toward Ye Yu's wrist.

A sinister smile surfaced on his face. He thought Ye Yu's wrist would break, but the long staff whistled past without hitting anything solid, passing straight through.

Liu Xu's eyes widened. The Ye Yu before him vanished.

Whoosh!!

Suddenly, a violent gust of force howled in from the left. He had no time to react at all.

Smack!!

A loud slap rang out, and Liu Xu flew straight away, crashing heavily to the ground ten meters off.

When the working students saw this, they shouted excitedly in unison, "Boss is mighty!"

Ye Yu could sense that the other party wanted to teach him a harsh lesson, so he naturally would not go too lightly either.

The students on Xiao Chenyu's side were all stunned, disbelieving and dumbstruck.

"How could that be? The one who flew out was Liu Xu?"

"Ye Yu's figure suddenly disappeared just now. Such speed—there was no way to catch it."

"Boss Xiao, did you catch it?"

Xiao Chenyu's face was grave. Even he had only caught a trace of it. If it had been him, dodging would have been difficult.

Liu Xu was extremely shaken. His speed was actually that fast.

Liu Xu stood up, the right side of his face swollen high. He was even angrier, but he was not afraid. He had not used his full strength yet; he had been careless just now.

"No wonder you could defeat Cai Kun and Rong Yao. You've got some skill. Next, I'm going to attack with everything I have!"

Liu Xu swung and spun his long staff. The staff rotated in a circular blur, whooshing as it continuously spun around his body while he approached Ye Yu.

Ye Yu charged straight in, which shocked Liu Xu. Then he sneered. "There's no way you can hurt me agai—"

Suddenly, his spinning long staff came to an abrupt stop. It had struck Ye Yu's arm and seemed to be jammed there.

"How is that possible?!"

Liu Xu was shocked. This move was his Soul Skill, spinning his staff at high speed around his entire body, usable for both defense and attack. Ye Yu had charged straight in and directly blocked it with his arm. The result was not Ye Yu's arm being broken, but the long staff getting stuck!

"And you call yourself a top second-year student. Go perform tricks at a circus."

As Ye Yu's mocking words fell, another slap flew out. Liu Xu could not dodge it at all. It was too fast.

Liu Xu screamed as he flew out again, spinning three times in midair before smashing into the ground. When he scrambled up in a sorry state, the left side of his face had also swollen high, and his whole face looked like a pig's head.

Liu Xu was afraid. He had discovered the gap between himself and Ye Yu. He was no match at all, so he hurriedly admitted defeat.

"I... I admit defeat!"

If he did not admit defeat, he would definitely keep getting beaten.

Ye Yu said, "Then, start choosing. Do you pick the surname Cai or the surname Shen?"

Liu Xu's face was ugly. He had lost, and he could not go back on what he had said before with so many people watching.

The surname Shen? Naturally, he would not choose that. Then everyone would start calling him kidney-deficient.

The surname Cai?

Though he did not know why it was the surname Cai, it did not seem to have any ambiguity.

Liu Xu made his choice and said with an ugly expression, "I... I choose the surname Cai!"

Ye Yu nodded in satisfaction. "You picked the one I wanted you to choose most. Then from now on, at school, you'll be called Cai Xu."
