My Name Is Xiao Wu, as in Dance

"Wang Sheng?"

Jiang Lin frowned slightly. Just as the boy was about to crash into him, he reached out and grabbed him, stepping back as he caught Wang Sheng by the collar, then eased off the force and set him down.

"Ah? Boss, you're back?"

Wang Sheng climbed up from the floor and looked at Jiang Lin in surprise. It was not just him; the other children of Dorm Seven were also filled with admiration.

After the dorms had been assigned, Jiang Lin had come here alone first. He had beaten Wang Sheng and the others into submission and become the boss of Dorm Seven.

"Boss? You're the strongest person in Dorm Seven?"

A crisp, sweet voice rang out. Then, a cute and pretty little girl emerged from the crowd, wearing a pink skirt, white stockings, and a little rabbit bag hanging from her waist.

"So this is Xiao Wu? She really was a beauty even as a child."

A trace of amazement appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes. Although Xiao Wu was still young and could not compare to Little Dragon Girl, she had a charm of her own compared to the latter's cool, intellectual beauty.

"Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you or aren't you?"

When Jiang Lin did not answer, Xiao Wu's brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of suspicion appeared in her gaze toward Wang Sheng.

He couldn't have just found someone at random to fool me, could he?

"Hello, what should I call you? My name is Jiang Lin, and I am indeed the boss of these people."

Jiang Lin stepped forward with a smile.

"Good. My name is Xiao Wu, as in dance. They said that if I beat you, I can become the boss of Dorm Seven?"

"That's right. What, do you want to challenge me? I'm very strong, you know."

Jiang Lin smiled. He did not even take Tang San seriously, much less Xiao Wu.

"Hmph, I'm not weak either."

Eager battle intent appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes. She did not take Jiang Lin's words to heart at all.

"Then come on. I accept your challenge."

Jiang Lin placed his left hand behind his back and loosely clenched his right. The hilt of the King's Power Sword appeared in his palm.

Although the awakening of his two Martial Souls had greatly improved Jiang Lin's physical fitness, he had not learned any hand-to-hand combat. Naturally, he could not afford to act arrogant with bare hands.

"The aura on that sword... This definitely isn't an ordinary Martial Soul. It seems Jiang Lin really does have some skill."

After staring at the King's Power Sword for a moment, Xiao Wu's eyes became solemn. Although she had lost most of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's abilities after taking human form, her knowledge remained. Naturally, she could see how extraordinary the King's Power Sword was.

"What, are you scared? If you still don't make a move, I'll assume you've given up."

Seeing that Xiao Wu had yet to move, Jiang Lin found it somewhat boring. As he spoke, he prepared to withdraw the King's Power Sword.

"Scared? How could I be!"

Provoked by Jiang Lin, the rabbit-ear headband atop Xiao Wu's head immediately stood upright. Then she leaped forward and launched a flying kick directly at Jiang Lin.

"That's it?"

Jiang Lin could not help laughing. The countless sword energies on the King's Power Sword immediately withdrew into the blade, and he swung it toward her incoming calf.

Xiao Wu was not Tang San. Jiang Lin naturally would not casually hurt her.

Xiao Wu merely smiled lightly. Just as the King's Power Sword was about to strike her calf, she unexpectedly twisted her body in midair, then tapped the sword blade sharply with her toes. Borrowing that force, she threw a punch directly at Jiang Lin!

"Now that's a little interesting."

Jiang Lin drew back his sword and blocked horizontally. In the next instant, an enormous force crashed into him!

As fist and sword collided, Jiang Lin took two small steps back.

Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Wu closed in. Her left hand gripped Jiang Lin's shoulder, and her body circled directly behind him before she kicked hard at his lower back—

"Xiao Wu's flexibility is a little inhuman."

Jiang Lin was slightly impressed. No longer acting arrogant with one hand, he instantly grabbed Xiao Wu's hand with his left while raising the King's Power Sword in his right and smashing it backward!

"Not good!"

Xiao Wu immediately changed her attack. Just as the King's Power Sword was about to hit her, she lunged forward and tightly wrapped both arms around Jiang Lin's neck, sliding behind him once again.

Taking advantage of this, Xiao Wu clenched her fist and smashed it down at Jiang Lin's head again!

"Xiao Wu, is it? I have to admit, you're quite impressive. But if this is all you've got, it's still far from enough."

After personally experiencing Xiao Wu's methods of attack, Jiang Lin did not intend to waste any more time.

The relaxed expression on his face instantly turned serious, and then he drove his left elbow backward.

Left with no choice, Xiao Wu had to pull away. But before she could retreat very far, Jiang Lin's speed suddenly surged. Raising the King's Power Sword, he swung it directly at her!

"Not good, there's no way I can block this attack."

Feeling the immense force and sharpness of the sword, Xiao Wu's expression immediately turned grave. Yet she had no room to dodge at all, so she could only raise both arms and block in front of herself with all her strength.

Behind her arms, Xiao Wu's face showed dejection. She had only been out for such a short time, yet she had already encountered a human who had pushed her to such a point.

Half a minute later, confusion appeared on Xiao Wu's face. The heavy blow she had expected had still not arrived.

Unable to help herself, Xiao Wu cautiously lowered her arms. A gentle face then entered her sight.

"Eh, why didn't you keep attacking?"

Jiang Lin only smiled lightly as the King's Power Sword in his hand dissolved into golden light.

"It was only a spar. How could I really hurt you? So, are you convinced now that I'm the boss of Dorm Seven?"

"Um—"

"You really are strong. I'm no match for you."

Xiao Wu spoke with some disappointment.

[ Ding! ]

[Detected a deviation in the Dorm Seven plot. Deviation level: G. Collapse Points +30.]

"Hmm? Why only 30 points? I'm already the boss of Dorm Seven, aren't I? Could the number of Collapse Points also be related to the plot's importance?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes.

"Hey, Jiang Lin, who sleeps in this spot?"

Jiang Lin looked over at the sound and saw that, after sorting out her feelings, Xiao Wu had examined the dormitory and walked over to a wooden bed beside the window, where the air was freshest. A complete set of brand-new bedding lay on it.

"That's where I sleep. What's wrong?"

That spot had originally belonged to Wang Sheng, but after Jiang Lin had casually defeated him, the best bed in Dorm Seven had become his. He had brought over that bedding earlier as well.

"Um—"

"Jiang Lin, I want to sleep there. Can you give it to me?"

"No, I can't. I refuse."

Jiang Lin shook his head.

What a joke. He was the boss of Dorm Seven, so naturally he had to sleep in the best spot. How could he give it away?

Disappointment appeared in Xiao Wu's eyes, but she quickly came up with an idea.

"Then, Jiang Lin, how about we push our two beds together? That way, both of us can sleep here."

"Like that? I suppose that works."

A hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes. Was he going to replace Tang San and sleep together with Xiao Wu?

"Yay—"

"That's great!"

"Jiang Lin, come help me."

Xiao Wu's eyes were full of innocence. Without thinking of anything else, she went directly to an empty wooden bed and called out to Jiang Lin.

"Mm, I'm coming."

Jiang Lin nodded. But just as he was about to walk over, the door to Dorm Seven opened again, and Tang San walked in carrying his bedding.
