"What I remember is that Chu Zhao's martial soul is a Scythe. Do you know what level her Innate Soul Power is?"
As she spoke, her large, faintly pink eyes stared at him, making it difficult to refuse her. But Tang San merely shook his head.
"I don't know."
If Chu Zhao also possessed Innate Full Soul Power, Tang San would probably have told Xiao Wu.
"This is Chu Zhao's privacy. I can't reveal it."
After being turned down by Tang San, Xiao Wu was a little displeased. Her eyes shifted as she thought of teasing him, and she burst out laughing.
"Tang San, why are you so afraid of her? Well, your martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, while Chu Zhao's is a Scythe. It can chop grass perfectly! She counters you even harder, hahaha!"
"How did you know Chu Zhao's martial soul is a Scythe? You've met before? When was that?"
Tang San quickly caught the key point in Xiao Wu's words. Xiao Wu had only appeared after Chu Zhao used her martial soul, so she should not have known what Chu Zhao's martial soul was.
That also explained Xiao Wu's excitement when she first saw Chu Zhao.
"Of course we've met. It was in the Star..." Xiao Wu was about to say the Star Dou Great Forest when she slammed on the brakes and casually changed her words. "Near Notting City."
Xiao Wu thought that had been close. If she really mentioned the Star Dou Great Forest, how could she explain how two six-year-old children had appeared in such a dangerous place?
Fortunately, she thought quickly and could lie without blushing or skipping a beat.
Though Tang San instinctively felt that Xiao Wu was lying, he was not the type to pry into everything, nor was he in any position to do so. He let it go for the time being.
"Good morning."
When Chu Zhao got up and headed out, she happened to run into Tang San, who had just returned from cultivating Purple Demon Eyes outside. They exchanged greetings, and just as they were about to pass each other as usual, Tang San called out to Chu Zhao.
"Chu Zhao, Teacher is taking me to hunt for my first soul ring later. I might not be back for several days. Could I trouble you to do my Work-study student duties for me during that time? Once I return, I'll do all the remaining work this semester for you. You'll still keep the wages."
Tang San looked at Chu Zhao as he made his request, his tone exceedingly polite.
So the plot had already progressed to this point. Since Tang San was being so polite, Chu Zhao would not be unreasonable. She immediately agreed.
"No problem. I hope you obtain your soul ring safely and return soon."
"Thank you, Chu Zhao."
After thanking her, Tang San returned to the dormitory to pack his things. Chu Zhao left the academy and used her Lightness Skill to race toward her farmland. This was the foundation of her fortune!
Chu Zhao now owned 110 mu of land. Only the original ten mu were personally tended by her; for the other hundred, she had hired people to manage them for a bit of money.
As a result, she heard many notifications every day about Soul Coins being credited to her account, so Chu Zhao simply muted them.
Only after tending to her own ten mu did Chu Zhao use her Lightness Skill again to hurry back. Traveling back and forth with Lightness Skill over the past three months had greatly improved both her proficiency and speed.
However, when she returned to the dormitory, she found its door wide open and a strange commotion inside.
"I told you not to disturb Sister Xiao Wu's sleep! If I don't beat you until you're looking for your teeth all over the floor, my name isn't Xiao Wu!"
Amid the noise, Xiao Wu's voice stood out clearly.
Several unfamiliar people had appeared in Seventh Dormitory at some point. One of them was being pinned to the ground and pounded by Xiao Wu, while the others were grappling with Wang Sheng and the rest.
Knock, knock, knock.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Zhao knocked on the doorframe a few times. Only several Seventh Dormitory students who had not joined the fight noticed the sound. When they looked up and saw Chu Zhao, their voices immediately turned excited, their eyes lighting up.
"Our boss is back. You're finished now."
Those words successfully brought both sides to a stop, and everyone turned toward the doorway.
When they saw the young, skinny Chu Zhao, who seemed even less formidable than Xiao Wu, someone immediately sneered.
"That little girl is your boss? You Work-study students are really getting more pathetic by the day! This is hilarious. I wonder if she can even take one punch from me. She'll probably start crying afterward."
"This is ridiculous. Rather than recognizing her as your boss, you might as well obediently be our boss's dogs."
Chu Zhao's response to that barking was to step forward at once, seize them by their collars, and toss them out one by one, lest they dirty her place.
All five were thrown outside the door in merely a few seconds. Many people did not even have time to react.
Even after they came to their senses, they remained dumbfounded in shock.
What incredible speed. What tremendous strength.
The five people who had been thrown out were all struck hard and left rather dizzy.
Yet after tossing out five people, Chu Zhao looked as though nothing had happened. Her face was not even flushed. She even smiled faintly as she spoke in a soft voice.
"So, can you explain now? What happened? Who let you into our dormitory? Hmm?"
"Boss, they're from Dorm Six. They bully us all the time!"
Wang Sheng was equally proactive when it came to complaining. He lifted his shirt, exposing a skinny chest covered in layers of old and fresh wounds. It was a miserable sight.
"We Work-study students are practically bullied and beaten by them every day. Everyone has many wounds like these."
Chu Zhao merely glanced over them before withdrawing her gaze. She removed the Soapberry Bracelet from her wrist, and one soapberry after another shot from her fingertips, rapidly striking the Numbness Acupoints on their bodies.
"Now all five of them can't move. You have five minutes. Repay grudges with grudges, repay grievances with grievances."
There were only around ten minutes left before the opening ceremony, and they still had to gather at the field early, so she gave everyone only five minutes.
She would not say anything about repaying evil with kindness or tell Wang Sheng and the others to forget it. She had always believed in an eye for an eye, blood for blood. If you were bullied, you should retaliate.
With Chu Zhao backing them up, Wang Sheng and the others immediately swarmed forward and began punching and kicking the five people, successfully leaving them all battered and bruised.
Yet the five people being beaten still had the nerve to shout threats.
"We're Boss Xiao's people! You actually dare hit us? Hiss—"
"Ah—Boss Xiao will never let you get away with this! You're all dead meat!"
"If you know what's good for you, let us go right now! Ow—It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Go easier on us—"
After beating them for the full five minutes, Wang Sheng and the others finally stopped before any teachers arrived to intervene. Chu Zhao also released the Acupoints on their bodies and spoke softly in the sweet voice natural to a child.
"This is only the beginning. The exciting part is still to come! You heard them—I'm the boss of Seventh Dormitory. I protect the students of Seventh Dormitory. Got it?"
