Xiao Tian just smiled. He could understand the reasoning behind Dormitory Seven's rule. The work-study students were constantly oppressed by the noble students, so the winner of this fight became the dorm leader—the one responsible for shouldering the burden and protecting everyone else!
Xiao Tian casually placed his iron sword and his bag to the side and said calmly, "No problem. How do we do this? Are we using our Spirits?"
Wang Sheng was taken aback for a moment. Wasn't this new student a little too reckless? He frowned and replied, "There's no need to use our Spirits. You must have just awakened yours, right? A simple fistfight will do."
Xiao Tian gave a slight nod. "Then let's begin!"
Two and a half minutes later, Wang Sheng was pinned firmly to the floor by Xiao Tian.
"So, what do you think? My hand-to-hand skills are decent, wouldn't you say?"
Thanks to his years of sword training, his physical conditioning was excellent. Dealing with a Spirit Master like Wang Sheng, who didn't even have a single spirit ring, was child's play, wasn't it? Even without using his Sword Intent, it was an effortless victory!
"I surrender!" Wang Sheng said, his voice full of reluctance.
The other boys stared at Xiao Tian in amazement. Someone even asked, "Xiao Tian, is your awakened Spirit a Beast Spirit? Otherwise, how could your physical strength be so high?"
Xiao Tian shook his head. "No, my Spirit is a sword, with an innate spirit power of rank five. It's just that I've been training diligently since I was a child, so my physical fitness is probably just a bit better than the average person's."
As he spoke, Xiao Tian pulled Wang Sheng up from the floor, patting the dust off his clothes with a smile. "Sorry about that. I got a little carried away. This was my first time fighting someone, so I had some trouble controlling my strength."
Wang Sheng gave a wry smile and then said, "It's fine. From now on, you're the boss of Dormitory Seven. That's the rule we all agreed on!" He was thoroughly convinced of Xiao Tian's strength.
Xiao Tian smiled and accepted, but suddenly, the system's voice echoed in his mind again.
[Ding! Warning! The God of Slaughter and Lord of the Douluo Plane, Tang Hao, has been detected hiding within a thousand-meter radius! Host is advised to flee immediately! The power gap is too vast, and you are in mortal danger!]
[Ding! Warning! The God King Tang San is currently walking this way! Host is advised not to arouse Tang San's antipathy, or you will be courting death!]
[Ding! Warning! The Asura Sword Scabbard Xiao Wu is currently walking this way! Host is advised not to make any inappropriate gestures or harm Xiao Wu in any way, otherwise, you will incur the wrath of God King Tang, which is a surefire way to get yourself killed!]
[Sigh, my poor, pitiful Host. Running into so many big shots right after awakening your Spirit. It looks like your life is forfeit. This system had better prepare its escape route~~]
Xiao Tian: ???
Xiao Tian was utterly bewildered. After three months of silence, why was his system having another one of its crazy episodes? Besides, at this point in time, when had Tang Hao become the Lord of the Douluo Plane? Tang San and Xiao Wu were still just children, so where did these divine titles come from?!
Just as Xiao Tian was pondering the system's intentions, a small, slender boy with black hair and plain clothes walked through the doorway.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Tang San. I'm a new work-study student starting today." Tang San politely greeted the occupants of Dormitory Seven. It was their first meeting, after all, and he wanted to make a good impression. He was also in a good mood, having just accepted a master of theory as his teacher.
Wang Sheng was the first to step forward. "Your name is Tang San, right? We have a rule in Dormitory Seven. If you want to enter, you have to fight the dorm leader to prove your strength."
Tang San was a bit surprised by the strange rule, but he simply replied calmly, "Then who is the dorm leader? Let's get on with it."
In Tang San's eyes, these were just a bunch of little kids. He, on the other hand, possessed the secret arts of the Tang Sect, which he had cultivated to an introductory level over the past six years. He refused to believe that anyone here could defeat him! This was the confidence he held as a disciple of the Tang Sect!
A half-smile played on Xiao Tian's lips as he looked at Tang San. "My name is Xiao Tian, and I'm the new leader of Dormitory Seven. Since we're both new students, how about we make this interesting? We can use our Spirits. What do you say?"
Tang San looked at him with some surprise. "You're that confident? I should tell you, I have innate full spirit power."
Wang Sheng's jaw dropped in shock. "What! You actually have innate full spirit power? Then what's your Spirit?"
None of the work-study students had ever had innate full spirit power before; the highest was Xiao Tian's rank five. Now someone with rank ten had shown up. Could it be some kind of incredibly powerful Spirit? Wang Sheng felt like the work-study students were finally about to rise up!
Tang San stated calmly, "Blue Silver Grass."
Silence.
A brief, heavy silence fell over Dormitory Seven before it was broken by a loud burst of laughter.
"Hahahaha, are you kidding? Everyone knows it's impossible for a Blue Silver Grass Spirit to have an innate spirit power higher than rank one!"
Tang San seemed to have anticipated this reaction. He wasn't angered by it, instead saying calmly, "There are no useless Spirits, only useless Spirit Masters! So what if my Spirit is only Blue Silver Grass? With proper cultivation, it can still become powerful!"
This was a line his newly-accepted teacher had told him.
Xiao Tian had to suppress a laugh. He knew just how many people had been led astray by Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's famous phrase. Even ten thousand years in the future, only a handful of people ever managed to prove it right. Ji Juechen was one, and Tang Ya could barely count as half of one!
"Xiao Tian. Spirit: Sword. Innate spirit power, rank five. Please advise!" Xiao Tian didn't waste any more words. In an instant, his Sword Fifteen appeared in his right hand.
"Fifteen, it's time for you to put on a good show!" he murmured. The blade of Sword Fifteen trembled with a sentient hum.
Tang San noticed something strange about Xiao Tian's Spirit. It was sentient? That seemed different from his own Clear Sky Hammer. He made a mental note to ask his teacher about it later. This was getting interesting!
Tang San summoned his own Blue Silver Grass Spirit into his right hand, but it vanished a moment later. Since it had no spirit rings, it was of little use in a fight. His Tang Sect arts were far superior!
Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track!
Tang San executed the Tang Sect's secret art, closing the distance to Xiao Tian with an incredibly bizarre and unpredictable series of steps.
Although Xiao Tian was prepared, his pupils still contracted at the sight. Fortunately, they were in a dormitory, so Tang San's possible routes of movement were severely restricted. An idea instantly formed in Xiao Tian's mind!
"Fifteen!"
"Sword Control Art!"
An incredibly powerful Sword Intent erupted from Xiao Tian's body. In the air, Sword Fifteen transformed into several phantasmal sword images that shot straight toward Tang San!
Tang San was shocked. Such astonishing Sword Intent! How was this possible!
Forgetting his plan to get close to Xiao Tian, Tang San immediately activated his Mysterious Jade Hand. His hands instantly turned a dark, jade-like color as he moved with extreme speed to block the incoming sword images, preparing to catch the blade with his bare hands!
But Xiao Tian would never let such a golden opportunity pass. He lunged forward in a single, powerful step. Before Tang San could react, the cold, gleaming edge of Sword Fifteen was already resting against his neck!
