The Fierce Rabbit Turned into a Sweet Little Bunny? Tang San Was Stunned

Boom...

He summoned no Martial Soul and released no Soul Ring. The pure yang Dragon Emperor blood and energy from the first level of the Chaos Ancestral Dragon Art erupted from within him!!

A noble, supreme Dragon Might, vast as an ocean, surged from Su Chen. It became a visible ring of pale-gold pure yang energy that slammed into Xiao Wu's Scorpion Braid and the Soul Power protecting her body!!

Crackle...

Xiao Wu felt as though her braid had struck a divine cauldron forged from ten-thousand-year black iron.

An irresistible pure yang backlash rushed through the ends of her hair and along her meridians into her body.

Worse still, the instant that sacred, supreme Dragon Emperor pressure descended, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit deep within Xiao Wu's soul let out an instinctive whimper of submission!

Rabbit Soul Beasts stood at the bottom of the food chain;

the Chaos Ancestral Dragon was a Primordial Supreme Deity that ruled over countless worlds and stood above even divine dragons!

That absolute suppression of bloodline and soul brought the Soul Power flowing freely through Xiao Wu's body to a complete halt.

Every supple muscle and bone lost its strength. Her body went limp, and she fell straight out of the air!

Su Chen drew his arm back slightly and released her ankle.

His other hand passed through her falling hair and came naturally around her slender, flexible waist, catching the limp, dazed pink bunny securely in his arms.

Warm softness filled his embrace, while the fresh scent of grass and leaves and the faint fragrance of her body filled his nose.

"Ah..."

Xiao Wu cried out as she found herself pressed against Su Chen's broad, warm chest.

Feeling his vigorous heartbeat and pure yang dragon energy, her fair, delicate face turned scarlet in a flash, like a ripe peach. Even the tips of her ears blushed.

What made Xiao Wu's heart pound harder was that, surrounded by that warm, pure yang Ancestral Dragon aura, the source meridians left somewhat unstable and sluggish by her transformation and renewed cultivation felt a comfort and nourishment she had never known. It was as though she had found the supreme totem she yearned most to cling to!

Silence.

Not a sound came from anywhere in Dorm Seven.

Wang Sheng and the other Work-Study Students on the floor stared with eyes round as coins and mouths wide enough to fit an egg. They were utterly dumbfounded.

The fierce little tyrant who had just swept through their entire dormitory single-handedly could not even last one move against this handsome newcomer? In the blink of an eye, he had subdued her with ease and caught her in his arms?

"Let... let go of me already!" Xiao Wu struggled in mingled embarrassment and indignation, but with so little strength left, it looked more like she was acting spoiled.

Su Chen smiled faintly, released his arm at just the right moment, and set Xiao Wu steadily on her feet.

Looking down at her, he asked with a half-smile, "Little girl, do you still think I'm all show? Do you accept me as the boss?"

Xiao Wu took two steps back and rubbed her burning cheeks before looking up at Su Chen with her large, watery eyes.

Under the gaze of Su Chen's commanding Purple-Gold Eyes, her heart fluttered like a startled deer. She could not suppress the tremor or the sense of closeness deep in her soul.

Proud and competitive as she was, the Soul Beast Clan had always revered true strength. Besides, the divine Ancestral Dragon Might around Su Chen held an irresistible attraction for her.

"I... I accept it, all right!" Xiao Wu pouted her rosy lips. She was a little unwilling, but she admired Su Chen's strength far more, and a strange attachment had taken root in her heart. Her eyes darted slyly as she remembered the wager she had made. She stepped forward openly and called out in a sweet voice:

"A bet's a bet! From today on, you're the boss of Dorm Seven! But like I said, if I lost, I'd call you my big brother... Brother Chen, you have to look after Xiao Wu from now on. Don't let anyone bully me, okay?"

At her sweet, clear call of "Brother Chen," the Work-Study Students burst into cheers and applause.

"The boss is mighty!"

"Greetings, Brother Chen! Greetings, boss!"

Wang Sheng and the others hurried to their feet and bowed to Su Chen, their faces full of fervor and awe.

He had subdued even a Soul Master with such a powerful rabbit Martial Soul in one move. Dorm Seven finally had someone strong enough to hold the fort!!

At the same time, a system notification rang out through Su Chen's mind like heavenly music!

[Ding...

Detected: Host has decisively defeated and won over core heroine [Xiao Wu], intercepting the crucial Dorm Seven bond and "big brother" title destined for the Chosen One, Tang San. Tang San's destined fortune reduced by 1,500 points]

[Detected: Host has gained the heartfelt recognition and bloodline attachment of Xiao Wu, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast. Xiao Wu's affection has soared to 60 points (deep attachment and closeness)]

[Destiny Plunder System has triggered a highest-tier divine critical reward]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the divine physique ability [Pure Yang Dragon Emperor Aura] (protects the body from every angle and grants immunity to all control effects and negative conditions below the ten-thousand-year level)]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained three supreme treasures: [Dragon Marrow Soul-Nourishing Pills] (consumption greatly cleanses the marrow, transforms the body, strengthens its foundations, and purifies Soul Power)]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the system-exclusive fortune reward: 2,000 Plunder Points]

Hearing the lavish critical rewards in his mind, Su Chen felt reassured.

The crucial bond Tang San would have relied on to build a deep relationship at Nuoding Academy had been torn out by the roots today!

"Don't worry. Since you've called me your brother, not even the king of heaven himself can touch a hair on your head here at Nuoding Academy."

Su Chen gently ruffled Xiao Wu's long, silky black hair, his tone both commanding and affectionate.

Feeling his warm hand on her head, Xiao Wu narrowed her large eyes in pleasure.

Like a little wild rabbit whose fur had been stroked smooth, she rubbed against Su Chen's palm without thinking and smiled with sweet innocence.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, you're so good to me!!"

Xiao Wu tugged at Su Chen's sleeve and pointed to a large wooden bed beside the window at the far end of the dormitory.

"Brother Chen, that bed gets the best light. It's the best spot in Dorm Seven. Xiao Wu saved it for you!! But... I didn't bring any bedding. Brother Chen, could you share half of yours with me??"

Xiao Wu blinked her large, innocent, expectant eyes and looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen smiled faintly and said calmly, "No need to share. I'll take you to the best shop in Nuoding City later and buy two sets of their finest silk-velvet bedding."

"Wow!! Long live Brother Chen!!" Xiao Wu bounced up and down with delight.

Her long, graceful legs traced a beautiful arc through the air, and the look she gave Su Chen grew even more admiring and affectionate.

Meanwhile, around a corner in the corridor outside Dorm Seven...

Tang San, who had just reached an unspoken understanding with Yu Xiaogang about becoming his disciple at the academy gate, approached with Grandmaster's Token in hand and a grave expression on his face.

From down the long corridor, he heard the laughter coming from Dorm Seven and Xiao Wu calling "Brother Chen" over and over in that clear, honey-sweet voice. Tang San stopped abruptly.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill energy in his right palm trembled violently beyond his control. An inexplicable emptiness rose in his heart, along with irritation and a sharp ache.

It felt as though a priceless treasure, something vital to his life, had been forcibly torn away at that very moment!

Tang San stared at the closed door of Dorm Seven, his eyes narrowing as a shadow fell over his face.
