Chapter 7: Xiao Wu
Tang San didn't ask Mo Bai to keep the thing about him having twin martial soul a secret. He believed that even if he didn't say anything, Mo Bai would still help him conceal it. Since Mo Bai wanted to hide his own twin martial souls, he wouldn't reveal Tang San's secret either, as that would risk exposing himself.
Yes, Mo Bai persisted in claiming that he didn't have twin martial souls, but Tang San believed in the judgment of his master. His research was not based on falsehoods but on genuine findings. Therefore, Mo Bai was just like him, possessing twin martial souls. It was just unclear why Mo Bai was unwilling to admit it!
Mo Bai didn't know what Tang San was thinking, otherwise, he would have criticized him severely. What do you mean by genuine research? Did you witness it yourself? Do you just believe everything people say?
...
After arriving at Room 7 in the dormitory building, a scene from the original story unfolded once again. As soon as the door opened, Tang San was ambushed, but he easily defeated the assailant, Wang Sheng. Mo Bai silently observed Tang San's moves and assessed his strength.
"Just observing isn't enough. We'll only know who's stronger after a fight!" Mo Bai thought to himself. Tang San possessed considerable strength for his age.
Of course, Mo Bai didn't think he was weaker than Tang San!
"Who are you? Why did you ambush me?" Tang San looked at Wang Sheng and questioned him.
"I'm the dormitory leader of Room 7. Now that you've defeated me, you'll be the leader of our Room 7 from now on!" Wang Sheng quickly explained and then mentioned their room's rules.
"And as for you, if you think you're stronger than him, you can challenge him. The winner will be the leader of Room 7!" After explaining the rules of Room 7, Wang Sheng turned to Mo Bai.
"What are you guys talking about?" Before Mo Bai could respond, a sweet girl's voice sounded at the entrance of Room 7.
Everyone turned their heads and noticed a pink-clad girl with decorative bunny ears on her head, looking incredibly cute.
Seeing Xiao Wu's arrival, everyone was astonished. They had never seen such an adorable girl before, especially Tang San, who was completely stunned.
Even Mo Bai couldn't help but take an extra glance. She was undeniably cute. He wished he could have a daughter who looked that cute in the future!
"What's wrong with all of you? Isn't this Room 7?" Xiao Wu giggled as she saw everyone staring at her.
Only when she glanced at Mo Bai did a hint of strangeness flash in her eyes. The way he looked at her seemed different, similar to how the adults outside would look at her.
"This is Room 7. Are you a new work-study student?" Wang Sheng stood up and introduced to Xiao Wu.
"Yeah, I'm Xiao Wu. I'm a work-study student, nice to meet you all!" Xiao Wu replied cheerfully.
"There's never been a work-study student in previous years, but suddenly we have three this year!" Wang Sheng said and then explained the rules of their room.
"I see, it sounds interesting!" Xiao Wu blinked her big eyes, revealing a trace of excitement, and then smiled.
Afterward, Xiao Wu walked directly to Tang San, who had finally snapped out of his daze. "What's your name? Let's have a fight to determine who's the leader of Room 7!"
"And you, what's your name? Do you want to fight too?" Xiao Wu turned to Mo Bai.
"The name's Mo Bai, and I'll pass. You two can fight. The winner will be the leader of Room 7!" As an assassin, it was crucial to learn how to conceal oneself, so Mo Bai declined. Of course, the most important reason was that he knew Xiao Wu would ultimately be the winner. It would be more fun to have an adorable little girl as the leader, wouldn't it? If Tang San became the leader, Mo Bai would have to find a different way to hide himself.
"Okay then," Xiao Wu responded with a hint of disappointment.
For some reason, she might have felt a bit let down. Perhaps it was because there was one less person for her to beat up!
"Tang San, let's have a fight!" Xiao Wu said excitedly to Tang San.
"Alright, be careful!" Tang San agreed.
A thrilling battle ensued.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Both Tang San and Xiao Wu displayed strength that was beyond what their age would suggest. Their performance was exceptionally brilliant.
"Who is this little girl, really?"
(A/N: He doesn't know that she is a 100,000-year-old soul beast, only that she is the female lead.)
"Tang San is also reborn, so it's normal for him to have such strength at his age!"
"But this little girl's strength is a bit abnormal!"
Watching Xiao Wu defeat Tang San with her flexible techniques, Mo Bai muttered to himself in amazement.
"Whatever, its fortunate that I didn't join in."
Seeing Tang San being kicked and falling face-first to the ground, Mo Bai couldn't help but feel a slight sense of relief.
"You won! From now on, you're the leader of Room 7!"
"Hello, leader!" Wang Sheng quickly approached Xiao Wu and paid his respects.
"Hello, leader!" The other six male students in the dormitory also hurriedly bowed to Xiao Wu.
"Hmm!" Xiao Wu accepted the role with pride, her face beaming.
"Leader, what's your martial soul? All of you are so strong!" Wang Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Mine is a cute little bunny!" Xiao Wu smiled and pointed to the bunny ears on her head.
"Tang San, what's your martial soul?" Xiao Wu showed particular curiosity towards Tang San and asked him.
"Well... My martial soul happened to be restrained by your martial soul... My martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, which is the food for bunnies." Tang San replied.
"Blue Silver Grass? How could you be so powerful then? Tang San, what's your soul power level?" Hearing Tang San's martial soul, Wang Sheng exclaimed and couldn't help but ask.
If he hadn't witnessed Tang San's strength just now, he would have been tempted to say that Blue Silver Grass was a waste of a martial soul.
"I'm someone with innate full spirit power!" Tang San replied.
Then, Tang San turned to Mo Bai and introduced everyone. "Mo Bai is the same as me. His martial soul is also Blue Silver Grass, and he's also an innate full spirit power!"
