Stealing Techniques Is No Good Thing!

With a thud, Xiao Chenyu, whose feet had not yet touched the ground, was struck squarely.

"Ah!" With a miserable scream, his body suddenly doubled over. He staggered back several steps before finally landing on his backside.

His legs clamped together, his body hunched over, both hands covering his crotch. His face was deathly pale, and he did not dare move.

Yu Xiaogang fell silent.

The surrounding onlookers also fell silent. Their necks shrank back, and their legs instinctively clamped together with astonishing speed.

"Zhu Wu is awesome!" Wang Sheng was overjoyed and nearly shouted it out, but sensing that something was off about the atmosphere, he swallowed the words back down.

"Y-you, you... you're despicable!" Xiao Chenyu glared furiously at Zhu Wu after recovering somewhat, his voice trembling.

"I didn't want to do it either, but what choice did I have?" Zhu Wu scratched his head and said helplessly, "You're taller and stronger than me. If I tried to fight you head-on, I definitely couldn't win. Besides, I only learned this one move. Once I used it, that was it. This was the only way to leave you unable to fight back."

"Besides, you never said I couldn't kick there."

Call me Kakashi Hatake from now on. That blow just now was something he had learned from the way Tang San dealt with Xiao Wu.

Of course, to avoid any accidents, he had a flash of inspiration and added a little something extra at the last moment.

It had to be said that the Longevity Exercise truly was an excellent cultivation method. Practicing it for a long time not only improved one's memory, but also made one's thinking clearer.

Presumably, that was the effect of enhanced God Sense—or rather, spiritual power.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Zhu Wu say that he had learned only one move, Xiao Chenyu immediately endured the pain and climbed to his feet. Perhaps because Zhu Wu knew that he was the City Lord's Son and did not dare offend him too severely, the kick had not been particularly forceful. Thus, the pain in his lower body did not last long.

"I haven't lost yet. Again!" With that, he charged forward with slightly unsteady steps.

However, the lingering pain from a certain spot, combined with his wariness after what had happened earlier, meant that he no longer dared to kick.

As he arrived before Zhu Wu, his eyes flashed, and he threw a punch.

Your legs are barely working, so why are you still being so stubborn? Zhu Wu hurriedly leaped aside. His calf swept down and stepped right onto Xiao Chenyu's rear ankle. Then, both hands struck out at once, slamming into Xiao Chenyu's lower abdomen. With a thud, Xiao Chenyu once again staggered backward and fell.

"Didn't you say you only learned one move?" Xiao Chenyu's mentality completely collapsed as he gritted his teeth.

"Oh, when I saw you charging at me with a punch, I suddenly remembered another move," Zhu Wu replied without changing expression.

"Where the hell did you learn all this?" After suffering two consecutive losses, Xiao Chenyu rubbed his abdomen and could not help asking.

He might have been arrogant, but he was not stupid. After getting beaten twice in a row, he had caught on.

This kid before him was definitely not simple!

"My two dormmates," Zhu Wu answered honestly. "They fought today over who would be the boss of the dorm."

"I watched the whole thing. I thought they were impressive, so afterward, I privately recalled it and thought it over."

"They both awakened Innate Full Soul Power. They're very strong!"

I wonder if word of this can spread and make Spirit Hall send people to investigate. Then they might discover Tang Hao and his son and begin hunting them down.

Besides, I only copied a little of the surface. It wasn't some Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record ultimate technique, so Tang San probably won't decide that I deserve death, right? Little White could fart even before absorbing a soul ring, making it easy to arouse suspicion. Unless it was truly necessary, Zhu Wu did not want to expose himself yet.

"So he learned it from Tang San and immediately put it to use." Yu Xiaogang revealed an expression of realization. Pride rose in his heart, and he straightened his back.

It was not Zhu Wu who was impressive. His disciple Tang San was impressive!

"Innate Full Soul Power!" Xiao Chenyu was greatly shocked. He silently climbed up from the ground.

"I lost!" Casting aside his previous defiance and arrogance, he said without hesitation, "I'll keep my word and do what I promised you."

"Also, may I ask what level your Innate Soul Power is?"

"Level 6. It's nowhere near as high as my two dormmates'." Zhu Wu scratched his head, looking somewhat dejected.

What is going on with Dorm Seven this year? Why are the work-study students who came here each more formidable than the last? Xiao Chenyu was stunned and began to question his life.

At that moment, Wang Sheng had already run over, his face full of regret. "Little Zhu, you're still the clever one!"

"When Tang San and Sister Xiao Wu were fighting, why didn't I think to learn a move or two?"

"Why don't you ask them for some pointers when we get back?" Zhu Wu said. "It'd be best if you brought back something tasty. Sister Xiao Wu likes food."

"Hehe." Wang Sheng completely agreed with Zhu Wu's suggestion, grinning happily.

"I'll bring you the books introducing soul beast knowledge tomorrow," Xiao Chenyu interjected at the appropriate moment.

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb you any longer." After saying that, he cupped his hands in salute.

This kid really knows what he's doing. Zhu Wu nodded and returned the salute politely. "Then I'll have to trouble you."

"It's nothing. You're very skilled. I'm willing to admit defeat after a wager." Xiao Chenyu smiled, waved to his lackeys, and turned to leave.

"Yay! We can get money without having to clean from now on!" The Dorm Seven students all rushed over.

"Come on, my treat today. Let's celebrate properly." Wang Sheng declared spiritedly.

"Long live Brother Wang!" Several dormmates shouted as they crowded around Zhu Wu and Wang Sheng, heading toward the cafeteria.

"He's quite a clever child. If only his martial soul weren't a silkworm." Beside Yu Xiaogang, the principal, who had come out of the Dean's Office afterward, shook his head with a sigh after learning what had happened. He had already learned about Zhu Wu's circumstances through Yu Xiaogang.

Martial souls with spiritual abilities were indeed limited in their growth by the difficulty of obtaining soul rings.

Still, with Innate Soul Power at Level 6, his future achievements should surpass mine. He could not help sinking into thought.

The reason he had allowed Yu Xiaogang to eat and live at the academy for free all these years was not merely their friendship. It was also because of Yu Xiaogang's powerful family background.

The name Yu Xiaogang itself represented many things. If he had truly been expelled from the family back then, he would not have been allowed to retain the Yu surname.

Since there had been no strict order forbidding him from using the Yu surname, it meant that his father still cared about him.

"Mm." Yu Xiaogang merely nodded lightly.

The principal came back to his senses and smiled as he changed the subject. "Enough about that."

"Xiaogang, congratulations on taking in such an excellent disciple. This child was able to defeat Xiao Chenyu merely by learning a move or two from your new disciple. That shows your disciple is no ordinary child. It seems your long-cherished wish of many years will soon be realized through Tang San."

Only then did Yu Xiaogang reveal a smile, though his tone remained calm. "Perhaps."

With that, he placed one hand behind his back and walked toward the cafeteria on his own.

The principal smiled and said nothing more, following behind him.

Two hours later, Zhu Wu and the others returned to Dorm Seven after dinner. Opening the door and looking around, they found that Tang San and Xiao Wu were not there.

However, the two returned shortly afterward.

Wang Sheng immediately stepped forward eagerly and handed over the packaged meat. "Sister Xiao Wu, Tang San, here! We brought this back for you!"

"Little Wang, did you pick up money while you were out?" Xiao Wu was a little surprised.

"Hehe, it was pretty much the same as picking up money." Wang Sheng grinned and began vividly recounting the earlier fight.

As Tang San listened, his brow gradually furrowed.
