Academy Junior, Male Junior, Happy Yuan Yuan, Whale Rubber

Dorm One, Room A!

The dormitory environment was pretty good, much better than the communal bunks in Dorm Seven.

There were eight beds in the dorm, with beds above and desks below. It was clean and tidy, the air held no strange odors, and there were even plants outside the window.

It was quite decent!

Thinking about it, the students in Dorm Seven were all work-study students. They had not paid the academy a single copper soul coin, so there was no way they would be assigned good dormitories.

Dorm One was for self-funded students. They had paid their fees and had family backgrounds—children of merchants and workers, as well as children of knights and nobles. Naturally, the academy could not fob them off.

Su Chen casually picked a bed, made it with his bedding, put away his spare clothes, changed into a school uniform, and went outside for a stroll.

As he wandered around, he arrived at the cafeteria.

Su Chen was fairly well-off now. He had living expenses from Old Jack, as well as living expenses from Su Yuntao.

There was no way he was going to gnaw on coarse buns on the first floor of the cafeteria. He went straight to the second floor for something good.

He bought two steamed white buns, a large chicken leg, and a serving of meat stew with potatoes, then began eating with relish.

Being good-looking really did come with perks.

The cafeteria auntie's hand shook like a sieve. In that serving of meat stew with potatoes, she shook all the potatoes away, leaving it piled high with meat.

Just as he was eating!

A group of people came up to the second floor with their arms slung around one another's shoulders.

Then they saw Su Chen.

They were utterly stunned by his beauty.

The arrogant youth at the front strode over in a few quick steps and said in a thoroughly teasing tone:

"Yo, are you a new junior?"

"Want to follow your big brother around? Acknowledge me as your boss, and I'll protect you at the academy!"

Su Chen's expression nearly cracked. He set down his chopsticks and looked up.

"I'm a guy!"

Hearing that young, crisp voice, the arrogant youth staggered backward again and again, his face cycling through incomparably complicated expressions.

He stared at Su Chen's face. The longer he looked, the more stunning it seemed. Finally, as though he had made up his mind, he actually leaned closer again.

"So you're a male junior!"

"Let me tell you, I'm the boss of Nuoding Academy, Xiao Chenyu. The lord of Notting City is my father."

"Acknowledge me as your boss, and whether it's in Nuoding Academy or Notting City, I'll let you swagger wherever you want."

"You don't know this, but there's a group of work-study students in this academy. They're vicious and constantly stirring up trouble. A pretty male junior like you would be in big trouble if they set their sights on you."

Su Chen's expression completely fell apart.

Fine, being good-looking had its pros and cons.

His delicate brows furrowed. That damn Xiao Chenyu was the city lord's son—did he really have to repress himself into such a freak? Was he treating Su Chen like Happy Yuan Yuan?

Watching Xiao Chenyu lean closer and closer, Su Chen threw a punch without hesitation.

"Get lost!"

With a bang, Xiao Chenyu's eye socket turned black, and his body staggered uncontrollably backward before he finally landed on his backside.

His two months of practicing the Sun Immortal Scripture had not been for nothing. His physical strength definitely surpassed that of an adult.

Xiao Chenyu's followers, including Liu Long and the others, cried out and hurried over to help him up.

Xiao Chenyu was supported to his feet, dizzy and disoriented. Yet he was not angry, because his opponent was too good-looking, leaving him with no reason to be angry.

"Great punch! That male junior's punch has some power!"

"Looks like I'll have to show my true skills as the academy boss to make you face reality!"

"Lone Wolf, possess!"

Xiao Chenyu struck what he considered a handsome pose, transforming into a wolfman as a white soul ring rose beneath his feet.

The group of lackeys around him loudly cheered him on, telling Su Chen to face reality sooner rather than later and acknowledge Xiao Chenyu as his boss, lest his pretty face get hurt.

Xiao Chenyu smugly said, "Hey, I'm definitely not such a violent person. I don't hit people in the face!"

Su Chen drew a deep breath, rose to his feet, and cracked his knuckles.

He summoned his martial soul.

"Caw—"

The phantom of the Great Sun Golden Crow appeared behind him.

The incomparable pressure of his martial soul filled Xiao Chenyu and all his lackeys with terror, making them tremble all over.

Su Chen stepped forward, raised his right hand, and pointed his thumb at himself. His elegant, handsome little face was filled with wild defiance.

"My name is Su Chen. Remember it. From now on, whenever you see me at Nuoding Academy, take a detour!"

Overwhelmingly domineering!

Xiao Chenyu's psychological turmoil was undoubtedly extremely complicated.

The pressure of Su Chen's martial soul alone had forced him out of his Martial Soul Possession state.

What an incredibly powerful martial soul!

The other party's background was unfathomable. He might even be the child of some great sect or noble family.

A minor noble's son like Xiao Chenyu understood best when to assess the situation. He had a scale in his heart for judging whom he could provoke and whom he could not.

Then, he could not help but feel admiration. Su Chen's gaze, gesture, tone, and the absolute aura of a "strong person" all made them sincerely submit.

Only after Su Chen withdrew his martial soul and sat back down to continue eating.

Xiao Chenyu and his lackeys discussed it among themselves, then surrounded him together.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

"What? Do you really want a beating?"

Instead, Xiao Chenyu took the lead, and all the lackeys bent at the waist together.

"Boss!"

After straightening up, Xiao Chenyu shouted, "What are you standing around for? Go buy all the good food in the cafeteria and offer it to the boss!"

Before long!

Su Chen's table was piled with stewed beef, roasted lamb chops, whole chickens, whole ducks, fish ball and tofu soup...

Xiao Chenyu said with an ingratiating smile:

"Boss, we admire you completely. From now on, you're the academy's new boss. This is our tribute to you."

"Whatever you want to eat, just say the word, and we'll definitely buy it for you."

Su Chen looked at the delicious dishes covering the table, then at the group of lackeys around him with fawning expressions.

"Heh, it won't be so easy if you want me to accept you as my lackeys."

"You say you can buy me whatever I want to eat. Then if I want Whale Rubber, the older the better, can you get it?"

Xiao Chenyu's eyes widened with excitement. He pounded his chest loudly.

"I know it. This must be a test from the boss."

"We guarantee we'll complete the mission."

"I know there is quite a bit of Whale Rubber secretly stored in that old man's treasury at home. It's useless in that old man's hands anyway."

"Boss, give me some time. I'll definitely steal it and bring it to you."

Hearing Xiao Chenyu's promise, Su Chen's mouth twitched.

What a "filial son." He only hoped that when the time came, Xiao Chenyu's old man would spare his life for the sake of him being his biological son.

As Su Chen cultivated the Sun Immortal Scripture, his physical strength increased every day.

But he wanted to absorb a soul ring sooner. If he consumed high-year Whale Rubber, he could raise his physical condition in one go.

Su Chen nodded.

"Alright. Then I'll wait for your good news."

He looked again at the feast spread across the table.

"There are too many dishes. I can't finish them all, so sit down and eat with me."

Xiao Chenyu and the others showed moved expressions. Their boss wanted to eat at the same table as them—he was treating them as his own people.

A blazing fire burned in Xiao Chenyu's eyes. He had to complete his boss's test and deliver the Whale Rubber into his boss's hands.
