As Tang San's martial spirit awakening approaches, You Chen plans to escape. Suddenly, a system appears, promising to aid him in his rise to godhood. Faced with the first task, You Chen falls into contemplation. [Defeat your classmate Ye Han (Level 7 Spirit Scholar) who bullies you.] "This system has quite the delay, doesn't it?"

Chapter 43: His Name is "You Xing"

"New here, huh?"

In the sixth dormitory, a clear-faced young boy had just walked in and found an empty bed to place his belongings, when a voice reached his ears.

Looking up, he saw dozens of curious eyes already fixed on him.

The owner of the voice, a boy who looked more robust than typical for a first-grade dormitory, stood before him.

With a height towering over his peers like a mountain, he exuded a sense of pressure on those around him.

Fortunately, the newcomer wasn't small, so he didn't feel the weight of that height.

He nodded, his expression unchanged, and reached out his hand, "Hello, my name is You Xing."

The tall boy snorted from his nose, "I'm Mu Feng, martial spirit: Big Water Buffalo."

Mu Feng...

This graceful and light name, paired with his brawny physique.

Young You Xing couldn't help but twitch his lips subtly.

Out of courtesy, however, You Xing refrained from commenting.

He simply nodded and was about to continue organizing his bed when Mu Feng's hefty arm blocked his way.

You Xing looked up in confusion to see Mu Feng exhale again and say in a gruff voice, "Wrong, kid! The first person you should greet isn't me, but—our Sister Xiao Wu!"

Mu Feng turned dramatically, his previously stern face breaking into a fawning smile, looking at the girl sitting on a "throne" made of stacked tables in the center of the room, receiving fruits offered by other children—a girl radiating an aura of grace and beauty.

"Uh."

You Xing looked at this scene, bewildered.

Several dormmates, including Mu Feng, shook their heads at You Xing's expression.

Sigh, they too had once been clueless like this before witnessing Sister Xiao Wu's ferocity!

"Hey, kid over there."

Xiao Wu seemed to just notice You Xing's presence, and she jumped down from her two-meter-high "throne."

She licked the snack crumbs off her fingers and looked at You Xing with interest, grinning, "Where are you from? Got any local specialties? Offer them up so I can see your customs and we can bond!"

Truly, she had the demeanor of a mountain bandit, a small-time thug.

Wasn't this scene just like a storybook depiction of pledging allegiance to a leader?

Those taken in by Xiao Wu might have initially been reluctant, but once immersed in her role-playing game, they oddly enjoyed it.

At this moment, their gaze upon Xiao Wu carried a hint of reverence.

You Xing, seemingly oblivious to the sudden shift in the room's atmosphere, replied, "I came here to train and learn, I didn't bring any specialties."

Saying this, as if he genuinely believed Xiao Wu's inquiry was casual, he continued to spread his bedding on the wooden bed.

Xiao Wu watched You Xing's earnest demeanor with a slight glare.

As her foremost enforcer, Mu Feng immediately interpreted the "divine will" from Xiao Wu's expression and reached for You Xing's shoulder without a word.

Snap!

A crisp sound echoed.

Before Mu Feng's fan-like hand could land, his wrist was caught by You Xing, who didn't even turn his head.

"Hiss—It hurts!!!"

Mu Feng cried out, feeling the force on his wrist.

"Huh?"

Only then did You Xing release his grip, turning around with a puzzled look at the half-kneeling Mu Feng, who was rubbing his wrist, "Sorry, I didn't notice it was you..."

This demonstration changed several people's expressions.

Children are mischievous but also quickly learn the law of the jungle.

You Xing's display made it clear he wasn't to be trifled with either.

Seeing her henchman bested, Xiao Wu, as the gang leader, couldn't let this slide.

She immediately shouted, "You hurt my Big Black?!"

Mu Feng looked up in confusion, "Big Black?"

Feeling oddly offended.

Meanwhile, Xiao Wu charged forward, her soft leg swinging like a whip at You Xing.

"Watch me teach you a lesson!"

However, her pink-white leg was caught mid-air by a single hand.

A man had appeared unnoticed, holding Xiao Wu aloft by one leg, leaving her dangling upside down.

His black-framed glasses gleamed with a villainous glow as he asked with a smirk, "Xiao Wu, who were you planning to teach a lesson to?"

Xiao Wu reflexively tried to escape but failed, glaring at the man in shock, "You, you're Uncle!?"

Wait a minute...

'That guy said his name is You Xing...'

Xiao Wu's eyes widened further: 'Could they be related!?'

Uh-oh, fake relatives meeting real ones, the supposed backer is now about to crush me!

Seeing Xiao Wu sweat, You Chen smiled slightly, and with a gentle flick of his wrist, righted her to stand before him.

"Haha, it's all a misunderstanding, Uncle! This is just a case of 'water flooding the Dragon King's temple, one family not recognizing another!'"

Xiao Wu laughed, "You're here to drop off this little brother You Xing for school? Why didn't you ever mention it?"

Though You Xing appeared a bit older than Xiao Wu, she unabashedly called him "little brother." You Xing himself didn't seem to mind.

You Chen, maintaining his calm demeanor, said, "Oh? Never mentioned it? I was just finishing up your paperwork, and before I could tell you, you darted off."

"Uh uh."

Hearing the subtle reproach in You Chen's calm tone, Xiao Wu was left speechless, knowing she was at fault.

She had a grudge against Spirit Hall and the Pope, but wasn't You Chen unaware of that!?

Seeing Xiao Wu rarely at a loss for words, You Chen laughed heartily, taking the chance to ruffle her bunny head, "Alright, just teasing you. I know your playful nature; without a heads-up, who knows what kind of conflict you'd have with You Xing. By the way, this little guy is my new disciple. He's a bit dull, only knows training, so don't bully him!"

"How, how could I!"

Xiao Wu immediately slapped her non-existent chest, grinning as she assured him, then turned to the silent You Xing, "Little Junior Brother, let's get along well, okay?"

You Xing spoke up, "Teacher never said you were his disciple, so don't call me Junior Brother. Also, I'm probably older than you."

"Uh uh."

This statement left Xiao Wu choking, and she glared at You Chen, as if saying: 'Wasn't my setup that I'm your niece!? Didn't you tell him!?'

You Chen pretended not to notice, waving his hand, "Alright, I've got things to handle, so goodbye to you both."

"Wait, wait!"

Xiao Wu reached out, but You Chen was so fast that he disappeared in a blink.

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and turned back to find You Xing already making his bed.

A hint of suspicion crept into Xiao Wu's gaze: 'Disciple? Could he be an illegitimate child?'
