Chapter 9: The Door to a New World!
The boy leading the group was stunned the moment he heard those words. Not just him, but everyone in the dormitory froze in disbelief, their expressions strange.
"Lying isn't a good habit. We can believe you have a Level 1 innate soul power, but full innate soul power? That's just too much!"
As soon as Wang Sheng said this, the kids in the dorm burst into laughter, looking at Tang San as if he were an idiot.
After all, the idea of full innate soul power in someone with Blue Silver Grass as a martial spirit was simply ridiculous.
If he had mentioned any other martial spirit, they wouldn't have mocked him so much.
Yun Feng saw this and merely sighed inwardly. He didn't bother with it too much. He wasn't sure why, but it seemed that whenever Tang San was around, people somehow got dumber.
They had been treating him well just moments ago, but as soon as they turned to Tang San, the mocking started. Yun Feng understood that Wang Sheng and the others had their reasons, but he still couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Tang San, on the other hand, was starting to get annoyed. His eyes changed as he looked at Wang Sheng and the others, not expecting that saying the same thing as Yun Feng would get such a different reaction.
But Tang San wasn't one to just swallow his anger. He responded immediately:
"What business is it of yours? Get out of my way!"
Wang Sheng didn't care much about the words. After all, he had suffered worse in this academy. Tang San's remarks couldn't hurt him. But seeing the seriousness in Tang San's eyes, he spoke more earnestly:
"Tang San, right? Fine, I'll leave. But you have to fight me first. That's the rule of our Dorm Seven. Whoever wins is the boss. Yun Feng's strength is too weak, so fighting him would be pointless. But you're different. You claim to have full innate soul power…"
Before Wang Sheng could finish, Tang San moved. He had already realized that this big guy in front of him was going to keep causing trouble, so he showed no mercy.
To the others watching, Tang San's actions were clear. He took a swift step forward, moving behind Wang Sheng before the latter could even react, hitting Wang Sheng in the waist with his elbow. At the same time, Tang San's right foot tripped Wang Sheng.
Before Wang Sheng knew what was happening, he had already stumbled forward and fallen out of the dormitory. Luckily, Wang Sheng had a solid foundation, his lower body strong enough to prevent a complete faceplant.
Even though he was caught off guard by Tang San's sudden move, Wang Sheng didn't get angry. In fact, he was rather pleased. Dorm Seven had always been bullied by the nobles at the academy. Now that someone as tough as Tang San had arrived, it was actually a relief.
Moreover, Wang Sheng had never really wanted to be the boss. He just needed to maintain the dorm's rules. After regaining his balance, he charged back at Tang San.
Yun Feng had watched Tang San's swift and effective actions closely, feeling a bit shaken. Although he hadn't been trained systematically, witnessing this opened his eyes to a whole new world.
It also made Yun Feng more certain that he was no match for Tang San, whether in soul power or combat skills.
This was also the first real fight Yun Feng had ever seen since coming to this world. Honestly, he was quite excited. Maybe because he had lived under strict rules in his past life, he never truly understood his own nature. Now, he might have started to figure out what he really wanted.
As Wang Sheng charged at Tang San, aiming a punch at his chest, Tang San didn't retreat. Instead, he stepped forward, moving directly into Wang Sheng's strike zone. His left hand guided, his right hand followed, completing a simple yet effective move.
Unsurprisingly, Wang Sheng lost his balance again and stumbled forward.
"Bang—"
His body crashed hard onto the floor.
Though Wang Sheng didn't care about being the boss, getting beaten in front of so many people did bruise his pride a little.
Under Yun Feng's watchful eyes, an unusual low growl that didn't seem fitting for a child escaped from Wang Sheng's throat. Faint yellow light seemed to rise from his body, and the boy who had fallen leapt back to his feet in a smooth motion.
Tang San, with his rich combat experience, wouldn't let such an opportunity slip. While Wang Sheng was still trying to act tough, Tang San advanced and delivered two quick kicks, using both force and skill to send Wang Sheng back to the ground.
At that moment, Tang San's eyes turned cold, as if he was ready to finish Wang Sheng off.
Watching all this unfold, Yun Feng couldn't help but feel his mouth twitch.
Was he lucky to have survived this long without getting killed by Tang San?
Before Tang San could strike again, the other kids from Dorm Seven cried out.
"Boss!"
Seeing his dorm mates rushing to his side, Wang Sheng gritted his teeth through the pain and said:
"I'm fine!"
He pushed himself up with his hands and slowly stood, his eyes showing a hint of understanding. Then, with a respectful tone, he called out to Tang San:
"Boss!"
"You're our boss now!"
Tang San looked Wang Sheng over for a moment before coolly flicking his right hand and replying indifferently:
"I'm not interested in being anyone's boss. Just don't bother me."
The members of Dorm Seven fell silent for a moment, and Wang Sheng, not sure what else to say, offered a bitter smile as he pointed to his body, which bore over a dozen scars. After a brief pause, he began explaining.
He told the story of all the grievances Dorm Seven had endured over the years, including the oppression from the nobles.
Tang San wasn't particularly interested in meddling, but when he glanced at Yun Feng and saw that he didn't seem to care much either, he sighed.
Seeing the eager eyes of those around him, Tang San was reminded of his previous life, of the moment he was forced to jump off a cliff. That memory was still fresh in his mind.
One person alone can't change everything. If only there had been an elder to protect him back then, he wouldn't have had to jump.
Just as he was about to say something, a clear voice interrupted him.
"Excuse me, is this Dorm Seven?"
Upon hearing this voice, Yun Feng perked up immediately.
Could it be the bunny-eared girl?
