"Is this Dorm Seven?"

At the sound of the voice, everyone in the dormitory looked over, including Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng.

"Huh, another newcomer." Xiao Wu jumped up, battle-fire gleaming in her eyes. Clearly, Wang Sheng lying on the ground had not satisfied her.

"Hello, my name is Xiao Wu, Wu as in dancing." Xiao Wu walked up to Bai Ye.

"Hello, my name is Bai Ye. Bai as in daytime, Ye as in nighttime," Bai Ye said.

"I'm the boss here now. Dorm Seven has a rule: newcomers have to show their strength. If you lose, you'll have to call me Sister Xiaowu like they do." Xiao Wu smiled sweetly.

If it had been Tang San, who had never seen a girl before, he would definitely have been stunned silly.

But Bai Ye would not be. The seemingly innocent and adorable little girl before him was actually a rabbit transformed from a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Of course, if Xiao Wu retained rabbit traits and turned into a bunny girl or rabbit waitress, that would be another matter.

"What if I win?"

"Then you'll be the boss here. But you can't win."

Xiao Wu was very confident. Though her strength had weakened after taking human form, she was still not someone a child could defeat.

"Then come on."

Bai Ye had no interest in becoming the boss, but he wanted to find out just how strong his body was.

That concerned what age of first Soul Ring he should obtain next.

"Come on!"

Xiao Wu was brimming with excitement. The moment she spoke, she did not pull away from Bai Ye and formally begin. Instead, she attacked directly.

No martial ethics at all!

Bai Ye could not react in time, and Xiao Wu's legs wrapped around his waist.

"Hehe, I caught you." Xiao Wu giggled as she prepared to make her next move.

But at that moment, the corners of Bai Ye's mouth lifted slightly. "Indeed."

As soon as he said that, he took advantage of the momentum and pulled Xiao Wu into his arms!

Xiao Wu's expression did not change as she prepared to counterattack with her scorpion braid.

However, Bai Ye suddenly exerted force with both arms and locked Xiao Wu down tightly.

"Ah!" Xiao Wu let out a strange cry.

Bai Ye tightened his hold. Xiao Wu felt increasingly uncomfortable, her face flushing red and her breathing becoming labored, as though she were being suffocated.

How could she still think of using her scorpion braid? Even the legs wrapped around Bai Ye loosened.

Even so, Bai Ye showed no tenderness toward her and continued applying force until Xiao Wu finally begged for mercy.

"N-No... I can't... I can't take it anymore." Xiao Wu spoke in broken gasps.

Bai Ye released his arms, and Xiao Wu immediately collapsed onto the floor.

Wang Sheng and the others were both envious and utterly shocked.

No one had expected the powerful Sister Xiaowu to be hit with a cradle sister-slaying move by the newly arrived Bai Ye!

Seriously, were work-study students getting fiercer by the generation now?

Was this really Dorm Seven?!

"Bai Ye, what did you do?!"

Just then, an angry voice rang out.

It came from Tang San, who stood at the entrance to Dorm Seven.

Although it was his first time seeing Xiao Wu, witnessing her being treated like that filled him with rage, as if someone had touched his reverse scale.

"What do you mean, what did he do? It was just a spar. Why are you making such a fuss?" Wang Sheng said dismissively. He had already accepted Bai Ye as the boss. "You're a work-study student too, right? Why haven't you greeted the boss of Dorm Seven?"

"A spar? You call this a spar? Look what he did to her! Is that how people spar?" Tang San demanded angrily.

Bai Ye frowned slightly and was about to speak.

However, Xiao Wu beat him to it. She pushed herself up with both hands, looked at Tang San, and said unhappily, "What do you mean, what did he do to me? Isn't it normal for sparring to end up like this?"

Without caring what Tang San thought, she turned to Bai Ye and called out, "Boss Bai!"

Tang San froze where he stood. He felt incredibly miserable, like a living clown, like Fei Yangyang.

Am I just another part of your play? Tang San thought. Yet he did not resent Xiao Wu. Instead, he became even more dissatisfied with Bai Ye.

Bai Ye had no idea what Tang San was thinking. "Tang San, Dorm Seven's rule is that every newly arrived work-study student has to demonstrate their strength. But I'm the boss now, so that rule no longer applies."

"Boss, that doesn't seem right. After all, for so many years..." Wang Sheng said.

"My rules are the rules," Bai Ye interrupted him.

Having witnessed Bai Ye's strength, Wang Sheng naturally did not dare argue. Even Xiao Wu, who had beaten him senseless, had been effortlessly subdued by Bai Ye.

"I have no objections." Xiao Wu stood up and made her position clear.

The other students did not dare object either.

The biggest fist had the final say.

Though they had all been drenched by the rain and dearly wanted to tear up Tang San's umbrella, Bai Ye's strength was right there for all to see.

Tang San took in the entire scene. He believed Bai Ye was afraid he could not beat him and would thus lose his position as boss.

"No! I disagree!" Tang San said. He did not like fighting and had no interest in the boss's position, but a voice in his heart told him that he should display his strength before this little girl with the scorpion braid.

"I think I should be the boss of Dorm Seven." Tang San stared at Bai Ye, his face utterly serious.

"You?" Xiao Wu was surprised.

"You?" Wang Sheng and the others were even more so.

This was no different from Benboba volunteering to Nine-Headed Insect to eliminate Tang Sanzang and his disciples himself.

"Since you want to be the boss so badly, I'll give it to you." Bai Ye shook his head, completely unconcerned.

After the scuffle just now, he had gained a rough understanding of his physical capabilities. They were no weaker than those of a Second-Ring Soul Grandmaster.

Although the original story said Tang San had not suffered too much when absorbing his four-hundred-year first Soul Ring.

Even with the Mysterious Heaven Skill enhancing him, his physical condition could not possibly surpass that of a Three-Ring Soul Elder. Otherwise, why had the author not arranged for Tang San to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring as his first?

If he had a thousand-year option, why settle for a hundred-year one?

Therefore, testing himself against Tang San would reveal nothing to Bai Ye.

"You're afraid!"

"You don't dare fight me because you're afraid I'll rightfully take your position as boss."

In Tang San's eyes, Bai Ye feared his strength and was retreating in order to advance.

If he really accepted it, he would be taking the inferior option, and the others would not be convinced either.

If he refused, people would think he was pushing his luck and refusing kindness when it was offered.

What a vicious scheme! Tang San's gaze instantly turned icy.

In truth, it was nothing more than his own wishful speculation.

"I'm afraid?" Bai Ye laughed.

"Yes! Otherwise, why won't you fight me?" Tang San said.

"If that's the case... then let's fight!" Bai Ye decided to help Tang San save face.

At once, everyone cleared out a space for battle.

"Go, Boss Bai!"

"Go, Boss! Teach that Little Scumbag a lesson!"

Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others cheered from the side.

Tang San did not care at first, but when he noticed Xiao Wu was among them, his expression darkened.

Then he looked at Bai Ye, who stood calmly in place with one hand behind his back, and abruptly launched the first attack.

Naturally, he did not use his full strength. After all, this was only a spar.

Likewise, Bai Ye was not serious either. With his left hand behind his back, he faced the charging Tang San, grabbed him with his right hand, and refined him in an instant.

Bang!

Tang San was slammed onto the ground!
