My Name Is Xiao Wu, as in Dancing Wu

"Wang Sheng?"

Jiang Lin frowned slightly. Just as the boy was about to crash into him, he reached out and grabbed him, stepping back to catch Wang Sheng by the collar before dissipating the force and setting him down.

"Ah? Boss, you're back?"

Wang Sheng climbed up from the ground and looked at Jiang Lin in surprise. Not just him—every other child in Dormitory Seven wore an expression of admiration.

After the dormitories had been assigned, Jiang Lin had come here on his own first. He had beaten Wang Sheng and the others into submission and become the boss of Dormitory Seven.

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

A crisp, sweet voice rang out. Then, a cute and lovely little girl stepped out from the crowd, wearing a pink dress, white stockings, and a little rabbit pouch at her waist.

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

A hint of amazement appeared in Jiang Lin's eyes. Though Xiao Wu was still young and could not compare to Little Dragon Girl, she had a charm all her own compared with the latter's cool, refined air.

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

When Jiang Lin did not answer, Xiao Wu frowned slightly, and a trace of suspicion appeared in her gaze toward Wang Sheng.

He didn't just find someone at random to fool me, did he?

"Hello. What should I call you? My name is Jiang Lin, and I am indeed their boss."

Jiang Lin stepped forward with a smile.

"Good. My name is Xiao Wu, as in dancing. They said that as long as I beat you, I can become the boss of Dormitory 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 fighting spirit 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 hand. 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 abilities, he had never learned any hand-to-hand combat. Naturally, he could not afford to act arrogant while empty-handed.

"The aura around this sword? This is definitely not 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 expression turned serious. Though she had lost most of her abilities as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast after taking human form, her insight remained. Naturally, she could see how extraordinary the King's Power Sword was.

"What, are you scared? If you still don't attack, I'll take it as you giving up."

Seeing Xiao Wu remain motionless, Jiang Lin grew a little bored. As he spoke, he was about to retract the King's Power Sword.

"Scared? How could I be!"

Provoked by Jiang Lin, the rabbit-ear headband on Xiao Wu's head immediately stood upright. She then leaped forward and launched a flying kick straight at Jiang Lin.

"That's it?"

Jiang Lin could not help but laugh. Countless streams of sword energy 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. Naturally, Jiang Lin would not casually injure her.

Xiao Wu merely smiled lightly. Just as the King's Power Sword was about to strike her calf, she actually twisted her body in midair. Then, with a fierce tap of her toe against the blade, Xiao Wu borrowed the force and threw a punch straight at Jiang Lin!

"Now this is a little interesting."

Jiang Lin drew his sword across to block. The next moment, a tremendous force slammed into him!

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

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

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

Jiang Lin sighed inwardly. No longer daring to act arrogant with only one hand, he instantly grabbed Xiao Wu's hand with his left while swinging the King's Power Sword behind him with his right!

"Not good!"

Xiao Wu immediately changed her attack. Just as the King's Power Sword was about to strike her, she lunged forward and wrapped both arms tightly around Jiang Lin's neck. Then, her entire body slid behind him once more.

Seizing the chance, Xiao Wu clenched her fist and smashed it down toward Jiang Lin's head again!

"Xiao Wu, is it? I have to admit, you are quite skilled. But if this is all you can do, 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.

With no other choice, Xiao Wu had to pull away. Yet before she could retreat very far, Jiang Lin's speed suddenly surged, and he swung the King's Power Sword directly at her!

"Not good. I definitely can't block this attack."

Feeling the immense force and sharp edge contained in the sword, Xiao Wu's expression instantly grew solemn. But she had no room to dodge at all now and could only raise both arms in front of herself to block it desperately.

Behind her arms, Xiao Wu's face showed defeat. She had not been out for long, yet she had already encountered a human who had pushed her to such a point.

Half a minute later, a trace of confusion appeared on Xiao Wu's face. The heavy blow she had expected had not come even after all this time.

Unable to help herself, Xiao Wu cautiously lowered her arms. Then, a gentle face came into view.

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

Jiang Lin merely 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 should be the boss of Dormitory Seven?"

"Um—"

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

Xiao Wu spoke with some disappointment.

[Ding!]

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

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

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 composing herself, Xiao Wu had surveyed the dormitory. She had walked over to a wooden bed by 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 effortlessly defeated him, the best bed in Dormitory Seven became his. He had also carried that bedding over earlier.

"Um—"

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

"No, that won't do. I refuse."

Jiang Lin shook his head.

What a joke. He was the boss of Dormitory Seven, so naturally he should sleep in the best spot. How could he possibly 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 the two beds together? That way, we can both sleep in this spot."

"Like that? I suppose that would work."

A trace 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 filled with innocence. Without thinking of anything else, she walked 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 Dormitory Seven opened again, and Tang San entered carrying his bedding.
