Meanwhile, on the other side, Wang Sheng was indeed dealt with by Tang San and was now lying on the ground, struggling to get up.
He was now injured on top of his previous injuries, but he didn't resent Tang San because of it; instead, he seemed to let out a sigh of relief and said,
"Tang San, I can't beat you, and Wang Li probably can't either. From now on, you're the boss of Seven Dorm."
Tang San's expression was calm as he indifferently said,
"I didn't want to fight with you in the first place, and I don't want to be the boss of Seven Dorm."
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng's expression suddenly turned serious, but his face was still bruised, which made him look a bit comical now. He said in a deep voice,
"Tang San, this has always been the rule. We work-study students are the poorest and least influential group at Notting Academy. Although the Academy teachers don't particularly like us, they won't bully us. However, those self-funded students from noble backgrounds who pay their own tuition to cultivate in the Academy always enjoy bullying us."
"They have strong backgrounds, and while the Academy teachers sometimes scold them, they won't punish them. To avoid being bullied, we work-study students have always been the most united. The strongest among us naturally becomes the boss, respected by others, but also responsible for protecting everyone."
At this point, Wang Sheng's face was full of helplessness.
Tang San frowned, not expecting such sordidness in this small Academy. He didn't want to get too involved with others, but being singled out and targeted would also be troublesome. So, he nodded and said,
"If someone bullies us, I naturally won't stand by and do nothing, but don't call me boss, I'm not used to it."
...
At this moment, Wang Li's attention was no longer on Wang Sheng or Tang San, but rather constantly on the dormitory's main entrance.
Sure enough, not long after, a cute loli with a scorpion braid walked into the dormitory and looked at everyone.
She spoke sweetly,
"Is this Seven Dorm?"
Wang Li took a deep breath, his eyes flickering as he thought,
Tang San arrived first, and Xiao Wu also came. How did that saying go? The wheels of fate have already begun to turn...
When Xiao Wu spoke, everyone in the dormitory looked over at her.
Tang San looked at Xiao Wu, a slight blush appearing on his slightly dark face, and he asked Wang Sheng in disbelief,
"Does the Academy dormitory not separate genders?"
Wang Sheng gave him a strange look, then said,
"We are all work-study students, and we are all children. The Academy won't give us special treatment."
After speaking, Wang Sheng excitedly said,
"Now you're the boss, go on, teach her a lesson, let her know how powerful you are."
Tang San thought about having to be rough with this girl, and he just couldn't bring himself to do it.
While they were still hesitating, Xiao Wu had already walked in, looking at everyone with a sweet smile and saying,
"My name is Xiao Wu, the Wu from dancing. Can you please not block my way?"
Seeing that Xiao Wu had already walked in front of them, Tang San, urged by Wang Sheng, decided he still needed to do something symbolic with Xiao Wu. But unlike teaching Wang Sheng a lesson, he truly only intended to be symbolic with Xiao Wu. He opened his mouth and said,
"My name is Tang San, my Spirit is Blue Silver Grass, I'm a tenth-level Spirit Scholar, and I'm the... dorm leader here. According to the rules of Seven Dorm, newcomers must demonstrate their Spirit's strength."
Xiao Wu looked at Wang Sheng behind Tang San, and Wang Li standing on the side. Seeing the bruises on their faces, Xiao Wu understood what "demonstrate strength" meant. Not only was she not afraid, but she happily said,
"Alright, then I won't be polite!"
After speaking, she placed the school uniform she was holding in her arms to the side, then said,
"Xiao Wu, Spirit is Rabbit, tenth-level Spirit Scholar..."
After mimicking Tang San, Xiao Wu truly made her move, her right leg extended, her toes pointing directly at Tang San's chin.
Tang San was stunned when he heard that Xiao Wu was also a tenth-level Spirit Scholar. Coupled with Xiao Wu's extremely fast attack, he could only respond hastily, quickly turning sideways and grabbing Xiao Wu's ankle with one hand, while simultaneously using an Iron Mountain Lean to collide with Xiao Wu.
The Iron Mountain Lean can be both real and feigned. Under the temptation of Xiao Wu's beauty, Tang San barely used any force in this Iron Mountain Lean, already intending to hold back.
However, Xiao Wu was stronger than he thought. Facing Tang San's attack, she instantly reacted, not retreating but advancing, closing in. In a dazzling series of maneuvers, she ended up on top of Tang San.
That's not quite right; she clamped Tang San with her calves, like a large bow in mid-air, instantly exerting force and throwing him out.
Xiao Wu herself landed steadily, while Tang San was thrown to the ground with a thud.
Everyone around was stunned. They had thought Tang San was already the strongest among them, but they never expected Xiao Wu to be even more formidable. Where did this monster come from?
Wang Li was still recalling the two's battle, feeling incredibly annoyed. If he had known he could transmigrate, he would have learned some Tai Chi. Now, facing Tang San and Xiao Wu, he had no advantage whatsoever except for a panel.
At this moment, Tang San had already climbed up, staring straight at Xiao Wu and saying,
"You said you're a tenth-level Spirit Scholar. Are you also innately full spirit power?"
Xiao Wu wanted to continue attacking, but hearing this, she chuckled sweetly and said,
"That's right, do you still want to fight?"
Tang San shook his head, raised his hand, and released his Spirit. A plant grew out of thin air, and he seemed to say with great helplessness,
"This is my Spirit. My Spirit is countered by yours, so I definitely can't beat you. From now on, you'll be the boss of this dormitory, which means the boss of all these people."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's face was full of interest, but she frowned slightly, then said,
"Since I'm the boss of this dormitory, my first command is that no one is allowed to call me 'boss' anymore; it makes me sound old. You must call me Sister Xiao Wu."
Everyone present heard this and, remembering Xiao Wu's violent actions just now, no one dared to object. They all shouted,
"Sister Xiao Wu."
At this point, Wang Sheng was completely convinced. Last year there wasn't a single new student, but this year two innately full spirit power students arrived. However, the only thing that puzzled him was:
"Is Spirit like Blue Silver Grass really that powerful now? One with third-level spirit power, and one with tenth-level spirit power."
Wang Sheng wasn't the only one with this doubt; everyone present was very surprised. Then they all looked at Wang Li.
Wang Li met their gaze, raised his right hand, and activated his Spirit. A plant, thicker and more upright than ordinary Blue Silver Grass, appeared in his palm. He deliberately said,
"This is my Spirit, Mutated Blue Silver Grass!"
People in the Douluo World are generally not that smart. Wang Li's Spirit Hall certificate stated Mutated Blue Silver Grass, so he naturally had to maximize this advantage.
In the future, no matter what changes occurred to his Blue Silver Grass, he could simply attribute them to the word "mutation."
With the Douluo Continent's superstition towards Spirits, even if he cultivated to Spirit Master in a few months, and to Spirit Grandmaster and Spirit Elder six years later, as long as he brought up the word "mutation," all of this would become logical.
At this moment, Xiao Wu first looked at Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, then at Wang Li's Blue Silver Grass, as if she had discovered something incredible, and excitedly said,
"Your Blue Silver Grass is so big! It's several times bigger than Tang San's."
