Defending World Peace? Hand Them Over!

"You wait here. I'll go make the arrangements for you right away." Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and left the dormitory.

The moment he left, Wang Sheng and the others gathered around Chu Lan, Xiao Wu included.

Xiao Wu planted one hand on her hip, her pink lips pouting slightly. "Hey, why are you making decisions for me so casually?"

"Before our match, we agreed that whoever lost had to listen to the winner. You're not planning to go back on your word, are you?" Chu Lan asked with a smile.

Xiao Wu's face reddened. "Of course I'm not!"

Wang Sheng suddenly hugged Chu Lan's thigh. "Boss, what are we supposed to do if you leave?"

Chu Lan was speechless. "Just keep doing what you did before."

They were really trying to cling to him!

He had not come here to be a boss. His main goal was to find Xiao Wu and obtain his first soul ring.

Once he achieved both goals, he would leave without hesitation.

"Xiao Wu, there's something I want to tell you."

"Come with me."

After saying that, Chu Lan headed out of the dormitory.

Xiao Wu froze for a moment. Her heart was filled with confusion, but curiosity drove her to follow him.

Outside the dormitory, in a corner.

Chu Lan carefully considered his wording.

Xiao Wu's patience gradually wore thin. She frowned and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Chu Lan rubbed his brow. "I want to say... the human world is vast, but this place isn't suitable for you, because a Titled Douluo is living in seclusion here."

For now, it was unrealistic to make Xiao Wu leave through emotional persuasion. He could only directly expose her identity and force her to leave.

Xiao Wu felt as though she had been struck by lightning, frozen where she stood. Chu Lan's words had hit the panic buried deep in her heart.

Chu Lan sighed. "Don't ask how I know. I won't tell you."

"Tomorrow, that Titled Douluo living in seclusion here will come. His descendant will be studying here, and when that happens, your identity will definitely be exposed."

"That's all I have to say. The choice is yours."

With that, Chu Lan turned and left.

Xiao Wu stood there blankly, silent for a long time.

Work-study student dormitory.

Seeing that only Chu Lan had returned, Wang Sheng scratched his head and asked, "Boss, where's that new girl, Xiao Wu?"

"She went to the bathroom." Chu Lan casually made up an excuse, then added, "Want to eat? Let's go together."

Wang Sheng and the others all agreed, crowding around Chu Lan as they headed to the cafeteria.

Because of that brief difference in timing, Chu Lan missed Xiao Chenyu, the minor villain of Notting Academy.

Meanwhile.

Yu Xiaogang was also busy fulfilling Chu Lan's conditions. Relying on his status as the headmaster's friend, he secured a dormitory for Chu Lan and Xiao Wu without spending a single coin.

Then, he hurried to the work-study student dormitory to find Chu Lan.

"Chu Lan, I've arranged a dormitory for you. You can move in now."

Hearing that, Chu Lan smiled. "Thanks. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

He immediately ordered, "Wang Sheng, move my things over."

Sometimes, having a few underlings to help out was pretty nice.

Wang Sheng and another boy carried the bedding and pillows, following Chu Lan and Yu Xiaogang to the assigned dormitory.

Yu Xiaogang forced an extremely awkward and ugly smile onto his face. "Chu Lan, where is that little girl? Why don't I see her?"

"I don't know." Chu Lan shook his head, then asked, "When are we going to Soul Beast Forest?"

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath. "Tomorrow. Rest well tonight. I'll go back and prepare, and we'll head to Soul Beast Forest tomorrow."

Chu Lan was overjoyed. "Great! You really are a good person. Here, this Good Person Card is for you."

As he spoke, he took a Good Person Card from his system space and handed it to Yu Xiaogang.

"A Good Person Card?" Yu Xiaogang froze. He accepted it and examined it. Other than the words "Good Person" written on it, there was nothing special about the card.

Wang Sheng and the other boy came over. "Boss, we've made your bed. We'll head back now."

Chu Lan waved his hand. "Alright."

After the two of them left, Chu Lan realized Yu Xiaogang was still there. He gave an awkward laugh and asked, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, hesitating to speak. In the end, he sighed inwardly, his tone carrying a trace of disappointment and unwillingness. "I'll come find you tomorrow."

Once everyone had left, Chu Lan shut the door and looked over the single dormitory that now belonged to him.

"Too bad the bunny-eared girl left. Now I can only live here by myself."

Chu Lan's face was full of smiles.

With Xiao Wu gone, Tang San had lost his strongest accessory. That was not a bad thing for him.

He could also have this room all to himself and cultivate in peace.

Otherwise, if he ended up under the same roof as Tang San later on, doing anything would be inconvenient.

The next morning.

Chu Lan opened his eyes after finishing his cultivation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

After cultivating all night, not only did he not feel tired, he was refreshed and full of energy.

"Before Yu Xiaogang comes looking for me, let's begin a thrilling five-second journey through another world!"

"System, activate!"

Chu Lan instantly vanished from the dormitory.

Kung Fu World.

A beggar with messy hair and tattered clothes was swindling a little brat who was licking a lollipop.

"Kid, I can tell from your extraordinary bones that you're a once-in-ten-thousand martial arts prodigy. Defending world peace depends on you. I have a secret manual here. Since we're fated, I'll sell it to you for ten bucks."

The beggar took out a secret manual titled Tathagata Palm.

The little brat merely glanced at it before turning to leave.

"Wait!"

Unwilling to give up, the beggar immediately took out another five secret manuals: Thousand-Hand Divine Fist, Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, Nine Yang Divine Skill, One Yang Finger, and Dugu Nine Swords!

The little brat was completely dumbfounded.

"Hand them over!"

Chu Lan suddenly appeared and happened to witness the scene. Transforming into a bandit, he swept the five manuals into his arms.

Just as he was about to snatch the Tathagata Palm manual as well, the five seconds ran out.

Whoosh!

Chu Lan instantly disappeared from Kung Fu World.

"Holy crap! What was that?"

The beggar's eyes widened as he looked around, but Chu Lan was nowhere to be found.

Inside the dormitory.

Chu Lan looked at the five secret manuals, grinning from ear to ear.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have robbed four martial arts manuals and one internal cultivation method!]

[Keep up the good work!]

"Damn!"

"You're encouraging evil instead of good!"

"You're really bad!"

Chu Lan raised his middle finger.

Then.

He looked at the four martial arts manuals in his hands—Thousand-Hand Divine Fist, One Yang Finger, Dugu Nine Swords, and Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms—as well as the internal cultivation method, Nine Yang Divine Skill. He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"This Nine Yang Divine Skill is no weaker than the Mysterious Heaven Skill. It even has effects that the Mysterious Heaven Skill lacks!"

"I can learn both of them, then use them to verify each other!"

"These four martial arts manuals also make up for my lack of strength!"

Just then, someone knocked on the dormitory door, and Yu Xiaogang's voice came from outside.

"Chu Lan, are you in there?"

"I've come to pick you up."

"Coming." Chu Lan put the five manuals into his system space. After opening the door, he saw Yu Xiaogang's forced smile and the corner of his mouth twitched. "Your smile is really ugly! Can you stop smiling?"

The smile on Yu Xiaogang's face froze.
