Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

Qian San's eyes were calm, and he didn't even release his martial spirit. He took a step forward, and his figure swayed slightly like a ghost, easily avoiding Wang Duo's straight punch. Then, Qian San used the force against him, gently touching and guiding Wang Duo's wrist with his right hand, while tripping his ankle with his left foot.

"Bang!"

Wang Duo didn't even touch Qian San's clothes before losing his balance and falling flat on his face, unable to get up for a long time.

The entire dormitory fell silent instantly.

Wang Duo scrambled to his feet, covered in dust and rubbing his aching arm. His eyes were filled with awe as he looked at Qian San: "I lost. You're amazing. From now on, you're the new leader of Dormitory Seven!"

Qian San didn't care much for this childish game of pretending to be the boss, and was about to refuse when the dormitory door, which was slightly ajar, was pushed open again.

Everyone's eyes turned to look, and then they were all stunned.

A little girl stood at the door. She was dressed in a blue-green outfit without any unnecessary decorations, which made her look neat and tidy. Her long black hair was simply tied back with a blue ribbon, hanging down to her waist.

Unlike the lively and adorable nature of ordinary little girls, she possessed an unusually aloof demeanor. Her eyes were like a bottomless pool of still water, calm and profound, exuding a maturity and indifference far beyond her years, making her remarkably sensible and quiet.

She stood there quietly, like a lotus growing in a secluded valley, aloof and independent from the world.

"Is this Dormitory Seven?" the girl asked, her voice clear but carrying a faint sense of detachment.

"Yes...yes." Wang Duo swallowed hard, quickly stepping forward to salvage some of the former boss's lost face.

"You must be the new work-study student? My name is Wang Duo. Let me introduce you. Our Dormitory 7's rule is that newcomers have to compete with the leader, and the winner becomes the leader. This is Qian San; he just defeated me and is our new leader. Do you want to challenge him?"

The girl's name is Xiaoqing.

She turned her head slightly, her cool gaze sweeping over Qian San indifferently, without any fighting spirit or revealing any extra emotions.

"Not interested."

Xiaoqing uttered three words, walked straight past Wang Duo, and went to an empty bed in the corner. She put down the meager amount of luggage she was carrying, and then sat quietly on the edge of the bed to tidy it up, as if the noise around her had nothing to do with her.

"Let him be the boss, and don't bother me."

The room had just quieted down when the half-closed wooden door was pushed open again.

An upperclassman walked in carrying a not-so-thick, brand-new bedding roll. He glanced around the dormitory and asked loudly:

"Who is Qian San? Teacher Ning Dagang asked me to bring this set of bedding to you."

Upon hearing this, Qian San stepped forward and took the roughly made bedding set, which even felt somewhat stiff to the touch. He weighed it and secretly thought to himself that the food and accommodation conditions at this academy were probably quite worrying.

Before leaving, his father, Qian Xunji, slipped him a dozen or so gold soul coins, a considerable sum in the small city of Notting. He could easily have bought himself a fine silk quilt. However, adhering to the principle of "why not take it if it's free," he nodded his thanks and placed his bedding on the bed he had chosen.

Xiao Qing, who had been sitting silently in the corner, had her gaze fall on Qian San's bedding.

She turned her head and glanced at her bare, hard wooden bed. A thoughtful look flashed in her calm eyes. She sat there quietly, lost in thought for a full three seconds.

Then, she stood up and walked silently to Qian San.

"I've changed my mind." Xiaoqing's voice remained cold and emotionless, as if she were simply stating a fact.

"I want to fight you. If I win, the bedding is mine."

Qian San raised an eyebrow as he sized up the seemingly frail but unusually composed little girl in front of him. She hadn't even bothered to glance at Wang Duo and his group when they were causing trouble, but now she was taking the initiative to challenge them for an ordinary quilt. Moreover, his intuition told him that this girl was extraordinary, and she exuded a dangerous aura that even he found dangerous.

Perfect timing, he also wanted to test the girl's abilities.

"Alright, I accept." Qian San took two steps back, assumed a fighting stance, and his expression became serious. "Qian San, Martial Soul: Blue Silver Spider, Level 10."

His words immediately caused an uproar in Dormitory 7.

"Level 10? Innate full soul power?" Wang Duo's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise. "But... what the hell is the Blue Silver Spider? Isn't that a useless martial spirit that's everywhere in the forest? How could it possibly have innate full soul power?" The other work-study students also looked incredulous.

Xiaoqing's gaze remained unchanged despite the gasps of surprise around her. She mimicked Qian San, slightly raising her palm, and her clear, childlike voice echoed through the dormitory:

"Xiao Qing, Martial Soul: Azure Bull Python, Level 10."

This time, the dormitory was even quieter. Azure Bull Python? What kind of martial spirit is that? The work-study students looked at each other, they had never even heard of it before, but Qian San inexplicably felt that this martial spirit was unusual and definitely not an ordinary beast martial spirit.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

Qian San let out a low shout, and a ghostly blue light instantly spread from his palm to his entire body. A phantom of a blue-silver spider flashed behind him, and then a layer of fine spider armor, shimmering with a ghostly blue luster, covered his arms and chest.

The moment his martial spirit possessed him, a pair of sharp spider spears suddenly protruded from the outside of his forearms, but they only appeared for a moment before he forcibly suppressed them with his will and retracted them back into his body. This was just a friendly spar between classmates, not a life-or-death struggle.

In fact, according to the Blue Silver Spider's normal spirit possession form, his lower body would transform into a huge spider abdomen and eight spider legs.

However, that would make him too large and would completely disrupt his balance when using the Tang Sect's ultimate technique, Ghost Shadow Tracking. Therefore, before leaving Soul Saint Village, he specifically asked his father for advice and painstakingly learned this method of partial possession that only attaches to the upper body while retaining the human legs.

Faced with Qian San's fierce preparations, Xiao Qing also activated her soul power.

An ancient, heavy aura, carrying a hint of thunderous power, suddenly erupted from her petite body. As a blue-green halo swirled, fine blue scales silently appeared on her arms and slender neck, and her eyes transformed into cold, vertical pupils.

Even with just the most basic martial spirit possession, the overwhelming pressure of the Azure Bull Python's top-tier bloodline caused the surrounding work-study students to involuntarily retreat and even experience difficulty breathing.

"I'm going to attack," Xiaoqing said calmly.
