Douluo: Soul Shadow King.

Chapter 6: To learn theory, do you need a master?
"Use together???"

Seeing Cheng Xiao's shocked expression, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but when she thought about sleeping without a quilt at night, she snorted and said, "I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid? Why? You are such a coward as a boy?"

"You..." Cheng Xiao was choked by Xiao Wu and was speechless. Wang Sheng and others looked at them with envy in their eyes. She was the only girl in the dormitory!

"Okay, come and make the bed." While Cheng Xiao didn't open his mouth to refuse, Xiao Wu quickly pushed the two beds together, then looked at her work and clapped her hands in satisfaction, then waved her little hand at Cheng Xiao with a smile.

After making the bed, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he looked at the connected beds. If Xiao Wu slept with him, what would happen to Tang San?
"Boss Cheng, Tang San, Sister Xiao Wu, it's noon, shall we go have lunch?"

Looking at the three people who had made their beds, Wang Sheng said to them.

Hearing about eating, Tang San shook his head and said, "I don't have any money... I'll just eat some dry food in the dormitory, you guys go eat."

"Eh? Money, is it the soul coin?" Xiao Wu asked curiously when talking about money.

Xiao Wu's stupid words immediately made Wang Sheng feel ashamed. He finally understood that Tang San and Xiao Wu were both paupers. If he could defeat them, he would have wanted to curse them directly.

"Boss Cheng, you don't have any money either, do you?" Wang Sheng approached Cheng Xiao and asked in a low voice.

"A little, but not much." Cheng Xiao murmured.

When he came, his grandfather stuffed some money into his pocket, which was enough for just eating.

"That's fine. It's better to have something than nothing!" Wang Sheng said excitedly when he heard that Cheng Xiao was rich.

They were all working students, and although he had some money, it was only enough to treat two people to a meal. But if he treated two people, he couldn't leave the other one out, right?

"Please treat Tang San and Xiao Wu." Cheng Xiao shook his head. He never liked owing favors to others.

"Okay, Sister Xiaowu, Tang San, let's go and have dinner." Wang Shenghao said angrily.

Hearing this, Tang San hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement. All the money in his family had been used by Tang Hao to buy wine, and he was extremely poor. However, he would not refuse if someone invited him to dinner.

As for Xiao Wu, she blinked her big watery eyes. Wang Sheng's heroic look also made her like him more, but what interested her was Cheng Xiao who paid for his own meals. Although they were all new part-time students, he was a little different.

A few minutes later, led by Wang Sheng, the group from Dormitory 7 arrived at the cafeteria. The cafeteria was large enough to accommodate six classes and teachers, a total of 300 people.

As soon as Cheng Xiao and others walked into the cafeteria, they heard a discordant voice.

"Aren't these the poor part-time students? Wang Sheng, are you worthy enough to eat in the cafeteria?"

The sudden ridicule also startled the students in Dormitory 7 who had just entered the cafeteria. Looking in the direction of the source of the voice, they saw a group of senior students standing on the stairs on the first and second floors, looking down at them.

The person who spoke was named Xiao Chenyu, the school bully of Notting College. Of course, a bigger part of the reason was because he had a good father.

“Wang Sheng, you poor fellows are only worthy of eating on the first floor in your life.” As soon as Xiao Chenyu finished speaking, the younger brothers surrounding him burst into laughter.

Listening to the somewhat shrill laughter, all the part-time students lowered their heads. They did not have as prominent a background as the other party. As Xiao Chenyu said, they could not afford the meals on the second floor.

Seeing the senior student provoking her, Xiao Wu was furious and retorted: "Who do you think you are? What's so great about the second floor?"

"Wow, what a pretty little Loli, but unfortunately she's a part-time student. Wang Sheng, I'm going to eat now, so I'll let you poor part-time students go this time." Xiao Chenyu laughed.

After saying that, the younger brothers surrounding Xiao Chenyu walked towards the cafeteria on the second floor where they could order food individually with a victorious smile.

Seeing them getting ready to leave, the angry Xiao Wu was about to chase after them, but was stopped by Tang San.

"Forget it, Xiaowu. We are here to eat."

"Are you so afraid of trouble?" Xiao Wu glanced at Tang San unhappily, and then looked at Cheng Xiao who didn't speak, "This guy bullied us so much, wasn't it wrong for me to do that?" "You did the right thing, but it's not the right time." Cheng Xiao glanced at Xiao Chenyu and the others, and said lightly: "There will always be a chance to beat them up, right?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, "What you said seems to make sense."

Hearing this, Tang San also looked up at Cheng Xiao. What he said was not without reason, but from his adult perspective, this was just a group of children playing around. Moreover, facing Xiao Wu's questioning, he didn't want to explain anything more.

Despite thinking this, Tang San still silently recited the Tang Sect Rules in his mind.

At this moment, Tang San saw an acquaintance and hurriedly walked up to him, "Teacher, you are here to eat too."

"Yes, Xiao San, since you are here too, come with me to the second floor to eat." The master touched Tang San's head and said.

"Second floor..." Tang San glanced in the direction of the second floor, Xiao Chenyu's mocking words just now echoing in his mind. He looked at Cheng Xiao and others who were queuing for food, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Teacher, I'd better eat with my roommates."

"Okay, then wait for me at the cafeteria entrance after you finish eating." After the master said this, he went straight to the second floor.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng patted the shoulder of Cheng Xiao, who was queuing for food, and asked in a low voice: "Boss Cheng, does Tang San know the master?"

Cheng Xiao nodded slightly and said, "Tang San has accepted Master as his master."

"What? Tang San takes Master as his disciple!" Wang Sheng was a little shocked. Coincidentally, his words were also heard by Tang San who came to queue up.

"Wang Sheng, is there any problem with me taking Master as my master?" Tang San frowned and asked.

"Um, Tang San..." Wang Sheng looked a little strange, hesitating, "The master's strength is not that good. It is said that he stayed in the academy because of his good relationship with the dean. To put it bluntly, he is a freeloader. He is fifty years old and has not yet broken through the twenty-ninth level. I suggest you change a teacher."

Hearing this, Tang San looked at Wang Sheng with a serious expression and said, "If you don't want to be defeated by me again, please don't make presumptuous comments about my teacher behind his back."

“This is the first and last time I think I don’t need your treat.

After saying that, Tang San turned around and walked towards the second floor. Originally, he was worried that going to the second floor to eat with the master would cause dissatisfaction among his roommates, but now, he no longer cared.

Wang Sheng didn't expect Tang San's reaction to be so big. He stood there in a daze for a moment. Xiao Wu and other students in the queue didn't understand why he was like that.

Wang Sheng was clearly giving a kind reminder. After all, they had been at Notting College for several years. They couldn't possibly cheat a new work-study student, right?
"Cheng Xiao, has Tang San always been like this?" Xiao Wu asked doubtfully.

"I don't know. Tang San and I are not familiar with each other. We just happened to meet when we entered school." Cheng Xiao shook his head and said.

"Boss Cheng, you said Tang San entered school with you." Wang Sheng seemed to have thought of something, "He worshipped Master as his master, you wouldn't also worship Master as your master, right?"

After these words were spoken, all the part-time students, including Xiao Wu, looked at Cheng Xiao.

"No." Cheng Xiao didn't care and told him that the master wanted to take him in as a disciple when he entered the school.

After listening to Cheng Xiao’s talk, the part-time students in Dormitory 7 had prepared their meals and sat together to discuss the master’s behavior in a low voice.

"Damn it, Boss Cheng, it's a good thing you're not interested in the martial spirit theory." Wang Sheng took a bite of the steamed bun and said while chewing: "The so-called martial spirit theory that the master mentioned is what our teacher talked about in class, but it's not as detailed as the master's."

"Yes, yes. The teacher will explain the martial spirit theory in class. How can someone become a disciple without understanding the theory? Then why would he come to school?"

"Boss Cheng, Sister Xiao Wu, you are all geniuses with full soul power, but don't believe what the master says. We have a library in Notting College to learn theory. If you don't understand, you can ask the teacher in class. There is really no need to learn theory from a master."

The working students in Dormitory 7 were talking to each other excitedly, eating steamed buns and vegetable soup.

Xiao Wu sat next to Cheng Xiao, listening to her roommates' gossip, and then looked at Cheng Xiao who was just eating but not talking. For some reason, she felt more and more curious about Cheng Xiao.
