She was actually so willing? Lin Ye was somewhat surprised to discover that Xiao Wu showed no resistance whatsoever to what he had suggested. Instead, her big eyes were filled with an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

But that was nothing. Lin Ye was still quite confident in his own strength.

"Since you agree, put your things away first, then we'll begin."

Lin Ye glanced at the bundle Xiao Wu was still holding.

"Mm!"

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Xiao Wu nodded vigorously in excitement. Hugging her bundle, she casually found an empty bed in Dormitory Seven and set it down, then trotted back. With excitement and anticipation written all over her little face, she asked, "Can we start now?"

Lin Ye: "..."

Why did it feel like she was even more excited than he was?

Lin Ye was at a loss for words.

Still, he nodded at Xiao Wu's eagerness. "We can start."

As he spoke, Lin Ye retreated several steps, putting roughly five or six meters between himself and Xiao Wu.

After stepping back, just as Lin Ye was about to introduce himself, the impatient Xiao Wu had already started running toward him on her slender yet powerful little legs, her scorpion-tail braid swaying from side to side behind her.

As she ran, Xiao Wu clenched her tiny fists, her little face filled with seriousness.

Once she had rushed within a certain distance of Lin Ye, Xiao Wu suddenly shouted, raised one of her strong little legs, and kicked at him.

"Hey! Take this!"

Facing Xiao Wu's sudden, impatient sneak attack, Lin Ye was caught somewhat off guard, but he still reacted quickly. The instant Xiao Wu kicked, he raised his right arm and blocked her flying kick.

But after her kick was blocked, Xiao Wu reacted just as swiftly. She immediately swung her clenched left fist at Lin Ye. Her small fist came hurtling toward his face with a sharp whistle through the air.

Judging by the force behind that punch, if an ordinary person were struck, even if their face was not ruined, the spot hit would definitely turn black and blue.

Yet faced with that whistling punch, Lin Ye simply shot out his right hand and caught Xiao Wu's fist in his grip.

"Huh? Not bad reflexes!"

Seeing that her successive attacks had all been stopped, Xiao Wu's little face revealed a trace of surprise.

But the next moment, after pulling back her left fist, Xiao Wu instantly swung out her right fist as well, shouting sharply.

"But if you think that's enough to block my attacks, you're being far too naive! Take this!"

This time, rather than dodging or catching Xiao Wu's incoming right fist, Lin Ye frowned and returned the favor. His left leg lashed out like a long whip, sweeping toward Xiao Wu's waist.

With Xiao Wu throwing a left punch at Lin Ye, if she did not pull back, the final result would definitely be a trade of fist for kick.

Xiao Wu's right fist would strike Lin Ye, but Lin Ye's left whip kick would also hit Xiao Wu.

But compared to the force of a fist, a leg was naturally much stronger. If Xiao Wu wanted to trade fist for kick, she would definitely be the one at a disadvantage.

However, the instant Lin Ye threw his whip kick, Xiao Wu understood. Her right fist, which had been swinging through the air, suddenly changed direction and swung left. Using that force, her body abruptly twisted to the right, and then she bent backward to the limit in an iron bridge, somehow evading Lin Ye's whip kick.

After throwing that whip kick, Lin Ye's twisting motion left him facing to the right.

Seizing the chance before Lin Ye could adjust his posture, Xiao Wu, who was still in the iron bridge position, suddenly performed a backflip. Her entire body leaped more than a meter into the air from where she stood, and her legs instantly clamped around Lin Ye's neck while her hands braced against the ground.

In that position, Xiao Wu intended to use her hands as support and use the strength of her waist and legs to fling Lin Ye away!

If it had been an ordinary person facing such a sudden and troublesome attack, the strength of their neck alone could never contend with the strength of another person's waist and legs. They would definitely be flung away in an instant.

But Lin Ye was clearly no ordinary person.

"Boss!"

Seeing Xiao Wu suddenly launch a desperate counterattack and seize control of Lin Ye, Wang Sheng and the other children of Dormitory Seven, who were watching from the side, all cried out in alarm.

How could this be? This soft and delicate-looking little girl was actually so formidable!

But we don't want a female boss! As Wang Sheng watched Lin Ye with a conflicted expression, Lin Ye also realized the situation he was in.

Feeling the tremendous force coming from around his neck, Lin Ye suddenly took a deep breath and crouched down, assuming a strange posture. His feet gripped the ground tightly, and his whole body seemed to be nailed firmly in place.

This stance was none other than the Dragon Elephant Stance!

Although Xiao Wu looked like nothing more than a six- or seven-year-old girl, when faced with her desperate counterattack, Lin Ye could feel that the force around his neck had already exceeded five hundred jin! Such strength was even more terrifying than that of an adult! Of course, this was partly due to how she was exerting force—using both her legs and waist would naturally produce more power than an arm alone.

But for her to exert such tremendous strength, Xiao Wu's own physical power and Innate Soul Power were certainly not low either! If he did not take this seriously, Lin Ye might even suffer a setback this time!

But Lin Ye had always been cautious. Naturally, he would not be so careless.

The moment he discovered that Xiao Wu's strength was somewhat abnormal, Lin Ye immediately responded. He planted himself firmly on the ground like a great tree in the Dragon Elephant Stance and unleashed the strength of his entire body to resist the force around his neck! Because the posture in which he was being attacked was rather unusual.

After using most of his strength to resist the force around his neck, Lin Ye found that, without moving his body, he had no particularly good way to drive Xiao Wu off him for the moment.

It seemed he could forcibly grab the legs around his neck with both hands, pry them apart, and then, just like swinging a hammer at Tang San's house, seize her legs and smash Xiao Wu from atop him viciously into the ground.

But prying apart the legs around his neck might require too much force.

If he swung her down with too much strength, he might hurt Xiao Wu.

So after thinking it over, Lin Ye decided not to do that. Instead, he activated the Nine Yang Divine Skill, intending to use the protective, attack-rebounding ability of the Nine Yang True Qi to shake Xiao Wu off him! Behind Lin Ye, Xiao Wu had originally been supporting herself with both hands on the ground, preparing to use the strength of her waist and legs together to fling Lin Ye away.

But Lin Ye had already used all his strength and assumed the Dragon Elephant Stance.

As Lin Ye assumed the Dragon Elephant Stance, Xiao Wu felt as though her legs were not clamped around a person, but around a great tree deeply rooted in the earth—something she simply could not budge! "How is this possible? He's so solid! I can't move him at all!"

With her little hands braced against the ground, already turning white from exertion, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and gave it everything she had, yet she could not feel Lin Ye sway in the slightest.

This left Xiao Wu somewhat discouraged.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to change positions and climb directly onto Lin Ye, she suddenly felt a powerful rebounding force surge fiercely from his body.

Xiao Wu had already been exerting all her strength against Lin Ye.

Caught off guard by the sudden rebounding force, Xiao Wu was instantly sent flying. After soaring several meters into the air, she slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Ow, that hurts!"

Landing butt-first from the air, Xiao Wu hit the ground. For a moment, she felt as though her butt had been split in two. She rubbed her sore little backside while groaning in pain on the floor.

"How are you? Are you all right?"
