My Ministers Are Ready to Fight to the Death; Why Has Your Majesty Surrendered First?

A group of half-grown boys were at the age when they could eat and drink endlessly. Like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves, they cleared an entire table of delicious dishes.

Su Chen patted his bulging little belly. He was truly stuffed today.

He stood and headed toward the staircase.

Xiao Chenyu and the others hurried after him.

But enemies were bound to cross paths.

As Su Chen and the others went downstairs, they happened to run into Yu Xiaogang coming up.

Yu Xiaogang gave Su Chen a meaningful look.

After Su Chen had rejected him, Yu Xiaogang had not wanted to teach him.

But once he learned that Su Chen possessed the Three-Legged Fire Crow Martial Soul, a rare beneficial mutation, and even had Innate Full Soul Power, he barely met Yu Xiaogang's standards for instruction.

Yu Xiaogang decided to give Su Chen another chance. He believed that once Su Chen learned of his greatness, he would surely weep bitterly and kneel before him, begging to take him as his master.

The two sides passed each other.

Su Chen frowned. He could tell Yu Xiaogang was definitely up to no good.

Was it because Su Chen had not cursed him or thoroughly exposed the truth behind his fake Master persona that he thought he could still fool him?

The man was like a pile of cow dung. Even if you did not want to step on it, it would still rub itself against your feet.

They reached the first floor.

Xiao Chenyu ran into a few familiar faces and could not help mocking them.

"Oh? Aren't these Wang Sheng and his bunch of poor ghosts?"

The working students heard the mockery and clenched their fists, glaring furiously at Xiao Chenyu!

Wang Sheng bent low and sidled up to a girl with a scorpion braid. "Sister Xiao Wu, the one who just spoke is Xiao Chenyu. He's the leader of those nobles at the academy who bully us."

With her hands on her slim waist, Xiao Wu first glanced at Xiao Chenyu. Then her gaze shifted, and she could no longer look away.

She stared at Su Chen without blinking.

This human cub was really, really good-looking!

And the aura around him was far too captivating to a rabbit. It made her feel close to him, yet also gave her the urge to worship him.

Xiao Wu ran over with quick little steps.

Wang Sheng and the others looked excitedly on, raising their fists to cheer Xiao Wu up.

They were certain Xiao Wu was going to stand up for them and give that hateful Xiao Chenyu a good beating.

But then!

Xiao Wu did not beat up Xiao Chenyu. Instead, she moved right up to Su Chen and sniffed all over him.

She looked like a total creep.

"Wow, you smell so good!"

"Are you a rabbit too?"

Three black lines appeared across Su Chen's forehead. He raised a hand, pressed it against Xiao Wu's head, and forcefully pushed her back.

"I'm human, not a rabbit."

This hundred-thousand-year rabbit spirit's senses were rather sharp. She had actually caught the aura of the Lunar Jade Rabbit.

After being pushed away, Xiao Wu looked at Su Chen with sparkling eyes, clearly determined to get to the bottom of this.

"Oh, oh, oh! Then what Martial Soul do you have?"

Su Chen did not want to get involved with this rabbit spirit. That shameless Tang Hao was surely hiding in some dark corner, watching them.

From the moment this rabbit spirit appeared at Nuoding Academy, Tang Hao had already regarded her as one of Tang San's potential Soul Rings.

If Su Chen stole Tang San's Soul Ring, that shameless Tang Hao would not hesitate to bully the young with his age and directly get rid of him.

So, staying as far away from Tang San and Xiao Wu as possible was definitely the right choice.

Su Chen said fiercely, "Do I know you? What does my Martial Soul have to do with you?"

Su Chen gave Xiao Wu a shove, pushing her away, then strode toward the cafeteria exit.

Xiao Wu was not angry after being pushed away. She quickly chased after him, fluttering around Su Chen like a butterfly. Whenever she took in a breath of his scent, she revealed an intoxicated expression.

"Hehe, you didn't know me before, but you'll know me from now on."

"My name is Xiao Wu. Wu as in dancing. My Martial Soul is a rabbit, a lively and adorable little rabbit."

"All right, I've introduced myself. Now it's your turn to introduce yourself..."

Xiao Wu circled Su Chen as the two walked farther and farther away.

Wang Sheng and the others stood dumbfounded, an indescribable grief and indignation washing over them.

My ministers are ready to fight to the death; why has Your Majesty surrendered first?!

They had finally gotten two new students this year, yet neither of them was reliable.

One was Tang San, who had taken a freeloader like Yu Xiaogang as his teacher. Wang Sheng had kindly warned him, only for Tang San to turn against him.

The other was Xiao Wu. They had thought she was righteous, but the moment she saw a handsome little boy, she became utterly smitten and eagerly followed him away.

Were there even any normal people left?!

"Hahahaha..."

Reckless laughter rang out.

Xiao Chenyu and the others laughed so hard they bent over backward, slapping their thighs with mocking expressions.

"This is killing me!"

"Wang Sheng, this is the support you were counting on? I'd say your Sister Xiao Wu will soon belong to our boss!"

Wang Sheng and the others were both furious and anxious, but they could not utter a single word in rebuttal.

Because Xiao Wu had really run off with someone else.

They could not win in a fight, nor could they win in an exchange of insults. Wang Sheng and the others could only slink away dejectedly.

Xiao Chenyu was in high spirits today. In order to gain his new boss's approval as soon as possible, he returned home after leaving the cafeteria, intending to steal the Whale Rubber his old man had hidden away.

He would present it to his new boss as a tribute.

And complete his new boss's test.

Meanwhile!

To avoid Xiao Wu's pestering, Su Chen had no choice but to return to his dormitory and shut the door, letting Xiao Wu make a racket outside.

Only after quite some time did it finally become quiet outside. Perhaps Xiao Wu had grown tired and left on her own.

Only then did Su Chen leave his room and head straight for Nuoding Academy's library.

As a Soul Master Academy, Nuoding Academy's library had quite an extensive collection.

After finding the Soul Beast records he urgently needed, Su Chen became engrossed in reading.

However, the peace did not last long before that annoying fly came buzzing after him again.

"Innate Soul Power is directly proportional to Martial Soul quality!"

"There are no useless Martial Souls, only Soul Masters who do not know how to cultivate!"

"Martial Souls are divided into two major categories: beast Martial Souls and tool Martial Souls!"

"Plant Martial Souls can absorb beast Soul Rings, and beast Martial Souls can absorb plant Soul Rings!"

"There is a limit to how much a Soul Master can endure when absorbing Soul Rings!"

"..."

Unable to bear the noise any longer, Su Chen put down his book and looked sternly at the little flat-headed man not far away.

"You there. This is a library, a place for reading quietly. If you're not here to read, then don't make so much noise and disturb the people who actually want to read."

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened from being choked off. Everything he had just said was part of his Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.

He had intended to first stun Su Chen, arousing Su Chen's curiosity.

Then, when Su Chen could not resist coming over to ask him about them, Yu Xiaogang would put on airs. As long as Su Chen knelt and accepted him as his master, he would answer Su Chen's questions and clear up his doubts.

But why was Su Chen not following the usual script?

Were his Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul not enticing enough?

Su Chen actually thought he was being noisy and told him not to speak loudly!

This was simply outrageous!
