Background / History
Dorm Seven’s Leadership Changes
Wang Sheng is Dorm Seven’s boss when Su Mo arrives. He introduces himself as a future Battle Soul Master and explains that the strongest student leads the dorm. His challenge ends immediately: Su Mo strikes him with an electric arc, throwing him into a wall. Wang Sheng sincerely acknowledges Su Mo as the new boss 1.
When Tang San arrives, Wang Sheng attempts a surprise attack after the newcomer dismisses the leadership rules. Tang San defeats him within a few exchanges, and Wang Sheng turns to Su Mo for help. The following day, Su Mo gives the leadership position to Xiao Wu, and Wang Sheng leads the dorm in addressing her as “Sister Xiao Wu” 2.
Academy Life
Despite the work-study students’ limited money, Wang Sheng offers to pay for a simple lunch to welcome the newcomers. After Yu Xiaogang dismisses Su Mo’s martial soul, Wang Sheng criticizes the Grandmaster’s fighting ability and stalled cultivation. Tang San threatens him for insulting his teacher and leaves rather than accept the meal 3 4.
By the time Tang San obtains his first soul ring, Wang Sheng has spent six years at the academy. He envies Tang San’s advancement and hopes to become a Soul Master before graduating, but avoids openly provoking him because Tang San is stronger 10.
Conflict with the Upper-Year Students
Wang Sheng supports Dorm Seven when upper-year students mock the work-study students’ poverty and insult Yu Xiaogang. Although Tang San starts the fight, Wang Sheng believes the dorm must stand together or face even greater contempt. After Tang San accidentally launches himself away with Blue Silver Pole Vault, Wang Sheng is left leading the dorm’s side of the confrontation 13.
Su Mo and Xiao Wu return in time to help. Wang Sheng explains the dispute, then celebrates when Su Mo defeats Xiao Chenyu’s group with a wide-area lightning attack. Relieved that Dorm Seven can finally stand up to its rivals, he offers to treat everyone to lunch 13 14.
Personality
Wang Sheng initially behaves haughtily toward newcomers and enforces Dorm Seven’s strength-based hierarchy through combat. He nevertheless accepts defeat without holding a grudge against Su Mo and readily recognizes Xiao Wu’s leadership 1 2.
His generosity and loyalty extend beyond personal friendships. He pays for a welcome meal despite having little money, invites Tang San to join the group, and later supports him against outsiders even though they dislike each other. His blunt criticism of Yu Xiaogang and irritation with Tang San’s unsociability also show his outspoken side 3 5 13.
