Feminized Martial Soul? (Please Recommend, Please Comment! QAQ)

"Hehe, this is going to be entertaining. That guy actually said Lu Bing is a girl!"

Nearby, some of the other Day Students eating on the second floor could not help feeling a little gleeful at his misfortune.

At Nuoding Academy, although Day Students had always been at odds with Work-Study Students, not all Day Students were like that.

Most of those who liked bullying Work-Study Students were the children of nobles and merchants. Some were also children of commoners who wanted to enter those two circles.

The purpose of these commoner children helping the wicked was simple: they wanted to curry favor with the children of nobles and merchants.

However, most Day Students did not join in oppressing Work-Study Students.

Otherwise, there were several hundred people in the academy, but only a dozen or so Work-Study Students.

If every Day Student enjoyed bullying Work-Study Students, the Work-Study Students would not have been able to survive at the academy at all.

Still, although most Day Students would not help the wicked, in order to avoid being bullied themselves, they would never help the Work-Study Students either. They maintained absolute neutrality, occasionally watching a "show" to spice up their lives.

Now that they saw Lin Ye was about to be in trouble, these people were delighted. There was a "show" to watch! "You blind fool, our boss isn't a girl! It's just that his Martial Soul is rather special and mutated, so he's been uncontrollably becoming more feminine!"

Just as Lu Bing's face darkened, a Day Student suddenly jumped out from behind him, pointed at Lin Ye, and said arrogantly.

Lin Ye: ...

Was it really okay to reveal your boss's secret in public like that?

Lin Ye was somewhat speechless.

"Get back there!"

Hearing his useless underling expose all his secrets, Lu Bing immediately flew into a rage. Although it was no longer a secret at the academy, he still could not help kicking the underling in the butt.

"Ow! Boss, I was wrong!"

The underling immediately cried out in pain and hurried back into the crowd. Though he said that, a faint, lingering flush still appeared on his face.

"Oh? You're a man? Sorry, I didn't recognize you at first."

Realizing that the white-haired girl before him was actually a man, Lin Ye felt rather strange, but his expression remained calm as he spoke to Lu Bing.

"Don't mention that. You're a Work-Study Student, right? You actually dared bully our Day Students. Didn't your boss tell you the rules?"

A flash of anger crossed Lu Bing's face. Suppressing the fury in his heart, he said coldly.

"My apologies, but I'm the boss of the Work-Study Students now. And I don't know of any rules."

Lin Ye's expression remained calm.

"You don't know the rules? Then I'll tell you today. Whenever you encounter us Day Students, no matter how we bully you, you have to take it obediently. If even one person resists, all of you will get beaten!"

A malicious sneer appeared on Lu Bing's delicate, girl-like face.

"That isn't fair. Why can't we resist?"

Lin Ye's expression remained calm as he asked in return.

"Why can't you resist? Naturally, because our fists are bigger than yours! If you obediently take it, you might have it a little easier. But if you dare resist, we'll make sure you go to school every day bruised and battered!"

Lu Bing raised his clenched fist in a threatening gesture, shook it, and sneered.

"Our fists are bigger than mine? What if my fists are bigger than yours?"

Lin Ye suddenly asked.

"Your fists are bigger than ours?"

Behind Lu Bing, all the Day Students burst into laughter. On the second floor, many other Day Students also wore mocking expressions.

"Damn it, they actually dared mock our boss!"

On the first floor, all the children from Dormitory Seven were furious.

"Calm down. I believe Lin Ye definitely won't lose!"

Tang San said from the side.

"Your fists are bigger than ours? Hehe, that's really funny. Forget anything else—try comparing yourself with me first!"

Lu Bing sneered mockingly.

"This guy is definitely going to lose. Senior Lu Bing is already a Soul Master, and I heard he's graduating this year!"

"I've never seen this guy before. He must be a new student who just enrolled. He actually dared provoke Senior Lu Bing. What arrogance!"

"Haha, there have always been people who overestimate themselves. Let's enjoy the show!"

Seeing that Lin Ye actually wanted to challenge Lu Bing, the Day Students watching the spectacle all revealed mocking expressions and began ridiculing Lin Ye. Not one of them believed Lin Ye could win.

After all, Lu Bing was a Soul Master, while Lin Ye was merely a newcomer who had just enrolled. There was no way he could be a Soul Master. And if he was not a Soul Master, how could he possibly defeat Lu Bing, a Soul Master? "A Soul Master?"

Listening to the mockery around him, the corners of Lin Ye's lips curled up slightly.

"Is being a Soul Master really that impressive?"

Slowly raising his head, Lin Ye looked at Lu Bing and spoke calmly.

"What? This guy actually looks down on Soul Masters?"

"No way! No way! Does someone really think they can fight above their rank?"

"Haha! Now this is going to be entertaining. This guy is really hilarious!"

Hearing Lin Ye's boastful words, an uproar of laughter immediately erupted around them. Everyone was amused by what he had said.

A freshman who had just enrolled actually said, "What's so impressive about Soul Masters?" That really was something only a freshman could say!

"Kid, you've got some nerve, don't you?"

Lu Bing was stunned for a moment upon hearing Lin Ye's words, then a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

But the better one knew Lu Bing, the more one understood that he was a smiling tiger. The brighter his smile, the harsher his attacks! Lin Ye had already angered him by calling him a girl, and now he had said that being a Soul Master was nothing impressive. Becoming a Soul Master had always been Lu Bing's pride. Saying that Soul Masters were nothing impressive was clearly slapping Lu Bing in the face!

"Soul Masters aren't impressive? Then I'll show you exactly what I'm capable of!"

As he spoke, Lu Bing's expression darkened. Then his body suddenly moved, and he instantly charged toward Lin Ye, his right hand clenched into a fist as he fiercely swung it at him.

Though he spoke disdainfully of Lin Ye, he had seen Lin Ye knock down five fairly strong Day Students.

Therefore, Lu Bing did not let his guard down. Instead, he used part of his strength, circulating the Soul Power within his body and concentrating it in his swinging right fist.

Because he possessed a Beast Martial Soul and had absorbed a soul ring, even though it was only the lowest-grade ten-year soul ring, Lu Bing's physical qualities had still been greatly enhanced.

In terms of physical strength alone, Lu Bing even surpassed ordinary adults.

Of course, compared to Lin Ye, he was still nothing!
