Chapter 9: The Clown
Another newcomer has arrived in Room 7!
The older students, like Wang Sheng, immediately began egging on Lu Chen.
"Boss Lu Chen, another newcomer is here. Let her learn the rules of our Room 7!"
In truth, the only person Lu Chen wanted to teach a lesson was Tang San, but unfortunately, Tang San wasn’t taking the bait.
His hatred was reserved only for the father and son duo, Tang Hao and Tang San. As for this young girl—who was actually Xiao Wu—Lu Chen didn’t have any particular thoughts about her.
However, due to the rules of Room 7, Lu Chen still stepped forward and said indifferently:
"My name is Lu Chen, my Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, and I am currently the boss of Room 7. We have a rule here: every newcomer must fight the boss. Whoever wins becomes the new boss."
As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, before the girl could even react, Tang San immediately jumped out and said righteously:
"Lu Chen, what kind of skill is it to bully a little girl!"
"You don’t know your own strength. I will never allow you to bully the weak. If it comes down to it, I’ll fight you in her place!"
At this moment, Tang San was brimming with righteous indignation, looking like a hero from a Wuxia novel saving a damsel in distress.
Whenever Tang San imagined this delicate, doll-like girl being bullied by Lu Chen, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Therefore, he stood forward fearlessly!
He wanted to take the girl’s place, defeat the bully Lu Chen, and restore peace to the dormitory of Room 7!
Seeing Tang San jump out, Lu Chen’s interest was immediately piqued. He rubbed his hands together, eager to start. This was an unexpected harvest; since Tang San wanted to fight in Xiao Wu’s place, he could finally teach Tang San a lesson.
He agreed without a second thought:
"Fine, if you’re looking for a beating, I’d be more than happy to oblige..."
But at that moment, the young girl became unhappy. Her willow-like eyebrows shot up as she strode forward and pushed Tang San aside.
"Who are you? What right do you have to take my place? Did I ask you to stand up for me?"
"Get out of the way, don’t stop me from becoming the boss!"
Tang San was pushed aside by Xiao Wu, his eyes wide with disbelief. He was trying to help her; even if she wasn’t grateful, she shouldn’t be so cold.
It made him look incredibly stupid, like a complete and utter clown.
After pushing Tang San away, the girl put her hands on her hips and walked up to Lu Chen. She looked up at him and said with an eager expression:
"My name is Xiao Wu, ’Wu’ as in ’dancing’!"
"My Spirit is a Rabbit. Is it true that if I defeat you, I’ll be the boss of Room 7 from now on?"
At this moment, Lu Chen was full of helplessness. Why was it so hard to get a chance to beat up Tang San!
Hearing Xiao Wu’s question, he nodded perfunctorily and said casually:
"That’s right. As long as you defeat me, you’ll be the new boss of Room 7."
Xiao Wu’s eyes sparkled. When she was in the Star Dou Great Forest, she was the ’Big Sister’ to Da Ming and Er Ming. Now that she had transformed and come to the human World...
For someone like Xiao Wu, who was used to being the boss, wasn’t it only natural for her to become the boss of Room 7!
Xiao Wu’s petite frame tensed up. She leaned forward with her legs bent in a pouncing stance and whispered:
"Then you’d better be careful!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu’s legs exerted sudden force. Her entire body leaped into the air, and using the momentum of her descent, she kicked toward Lu Chen.
Because Lu Chen didn’t care about winning or losing, he seemed a bit distracted. Facing Xiao Wu’s kick, he reached out to grab her ankle, intending to throw her out once he caught her.
Xiao Wu reacted quickly. Seeing through Lu Chen’s intention, she actually managed to twist her waist in mid-air to change her posture.
With extreme agility, she dodged Lu Chen’s grasping hand, stepped onto his arm, and used the leverage to close in, flashing behind him.
She placed both feet on Lu Chen’s shoulders, her insteps hooking his neck. Xiao Wu’s waist seemed as soft as if she had no bones, bending backward into a C-shape like a powerful bow drawn to its limit.
Xiao Wu exerted her full strength and gave a soft shout:
"Go down!"
It had to be said that Xiao Wu’s offensive was very sharp—fast, flexible, and fluid. An ordinary person caught off guard would have been thrown by her at this point.
Unfortunately, Lu Chen was a powerhouse capable of dragging a bull. His naturally powerful physique gave him an extremely stable lower body.
He simply tightened his muscles suddenly, neutralizing the explosive force Xiao Wu used to try and throw him.
Xiao Wu was completely stuck!
She hadn’t expected Lu Chen’s strength to be so great. Because of the massive power gap, even though she used all her strength, she couldn’t throw him.
Lu Chen smiled calmly. This time, he quickly reached out and grabbed Xiao Wu’s ankles, preparing to toss her away.
Xiao Wu still wanted to be the boss of Room 7; how could she possibly be willing to admit defeat?
Moreover, her competitive Spirit had been ignited by Lu Chen. She was determined to throw him no matter what.
With her insteps still tightly hooked around Lu Chen’s neck, she suddenly gave a low shout:
"Martial Soul Possession!"
In an instant, a startling transformation occurred. Xiao Wu’s legs grew longer, reaching an exaggerated proportion relative to her body, filled with explosive power.
Her originally black pupils turned red after the possession, and a pair of furry rabbit ears grew from the top of her head.
But that wasn’t the most shocking part. What was truly stunning was the bright yellow spirit ring that rose up around her body.
A yellow spirit ring—a Century Soul Ring!
Seeing this scene, whether it was Tang San or Wang Sheng and the others, everyone was dumbfounded. They never imagined that this cute-looking girl was already a one-ring Spirit Master.
Tang San had just entered the academy this year and didn’t yet know exactly what a yellow spirit ring signified; he was merely shocked that Xiao Wu was already a one-ring Spirit Master.
Wang Sheng and the others, having attended school for several years, knew perfectly well how precious a yellow spirit ring was.
As they looked at Xiao Wu now, their faces were filled with envy and awe.
As for Xiao Wu, her face was full of unyielding stubbornness as her yellow spirit ring suddenly flared with light:
"First Spirit Ability, Waist Bow!"
Xiao Wu’s first Spirit Ability could increase her waist strength by 100%, allowing her to unleash even more terrifying power.
Under the enhancement of Waist Bow, the staggering power Xiao Wu unleashed caused even Lu Chen to feel significant pressure.
A hint of seriousness appeared on Lu Chen’s face. He responded quickly, sinking his shoulders and elbows, spreading his legs into a horse stance, and gripping the ground firmly as if he had grown roots.
Xiao Wu was stuck once again!
Even after her Martial Soul Possession and using her first Spirit Ability, the total power she unleashed was still not enough to throw Lu Chen.
Just how massive was Lu Chen’s strength?
Xiao Wu simply couldn’t imagine it!
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the moment Xiao Wu’s explosive power reached its limit, Lu Chen exerted force with his hands on her ankles. He lifted her into the air, swinging her in circles, then side to side, then up and down, saying as he shook her:
"Do you yield? Do you admit defeat?"
