Triggering a treasure chest in Douluo Continent

Chapter 13 The Arrogant Little Wu

"Shi Quan, come here for a second!"

Just as Shi Quan was wondering what was going on, he heard someone call him over.

That person's name is Chang Ke. The college has its own groups, and the dormitories also have their own smaller groups. Chang Ke is the leader of the elite circle in the dormitory.

Shi Quan turned his head and asked calmly, "What is it?"

Seeing that Shi Quan didn't move, Chang Jian's already somewhat aggrieved expression turned into irritation, and he shouted loudly, "I told you to come here, didn't you hear me?"

Seeing this, Shi Quan frowned and patiently took a few steps towards Chang Ke. "What is it?"

Chang Ke looked Shi Quan up and down before saying irritably, "Starting today, you will be responsible for cleaning the south side of the playground. Remember, you have to clean it every day."

Hearing Chang Ke's words, Shi Quan frowned even more deeply and asked coldly, "On what grounds?!"

"On what grounds?" Hearing Shi Quan's question, Chang Ke laughed in anger, jumped off the bed, strode forward to Shi Quan, and said, "On the grounds that I arranged it. You disagree?"

Shi Quan sneered, turned around and walked towards his bed, "I don't have time to clean anything."

"You lowly commoner, how dare you disobey me!?" Upon hearing Shi Quan's words, Chang Ke was immediately enraged and raised his fist to swing at Shi Quan.

Hearing the noise behind him, Shi Quan turned to the side, pulled with his left hand, and stretched his left foot forward.

Before Chang Ke could react, he felt as if his fist was being pulled forward by a special force, causing his body to tilt uncontrollably forward. He was then tripped by Shi Quan's outstretched foot, and with a thud, Chang Ke fell flat on his face to everyone's astonishment.

Upon seeing this, the other students in the dormitory burst into laughter, as if Chang Ke had missed his punch and instead fallen down on his own.

"That damn brat!"

When had Chang Ke ever lost face like this? He let out a sharp roar, and a grayish-brown light could be vaguely seen rising from his body. The figure that had fallen to the ground almost instantly got up, and he was exceptionally agile. He grabbed the bed leg with both hands and stood horizontally like a monkey, kicking his body towards Shi Quan.

Martial Spirit.

Although Shi Quan had never interacted with his classmates in the dormitory, the teacher had each student introduce their martial spirit to one another during the first martial spirit class.

Shi Quan knew that Chang Ke's martial spirit was an iron monkey.

However, so what if one can use their Martial Soul regularly?

A few days ago, Shi Quan would have been wary, but after several days of diligent training, his strength has been improving by leaps and bounds every day, and he is no longer the same person he used to be.

Shi Quan knew he had to establish his authority today, or he would only face more bullying.

With this thought in mind, Shi Quan's figure advanced instead of retreating. He took a single step with his right leg, leaned forward, circulated his internal energy, exerted force with both hands, lifted upwards in a semi-circular motion, and then slammed his hands down on Shi Quan's knees.

Chang Ke felt as if his legs were pressing against a ball of cotton. Just as he was about to pull his legs back, he felt a tremendous force slamming his legs into the ground.

In order to launch a thunderous attack, he had already supported his entire body with his arms. Now, with his legs pressed down by this enormous force, his center of gravity shifted forward. His hands could no longer support him, and his body tilted forward along with his legs.

Before anyone could react, Chang Ke knelt down in front of Shi Quan.

Chang Ke, already furious, became even angrier upon being humiliated again. Just as he was about to retaliate, he saw Shi Quan raise his left leg and kick at him. As Shi Quan's knee loomed large in front of him, he immediately cried out in alarm. He feared that this knee strike would knock out several of his teeth. In that instant, he felt a sense of despair.

The next second, however, he only felt a sharp gust of wind on his cheek. The pain he had imagined did not come. Chang Ke looked down and saw his knee, which was close to his jaw. Where was the anger from before? He fell backward in fear.

"I'm busy, don't bother me." Shi Quan withdrew his knees, glanced coldly at Chang Ke, and then looked around.

The crowd that had been watching all turned their heads away.

If it was a coincidence the first time, it definitely wasn't the second time, not to mention that Chang Ke also used his Martial Soul.

No one expected that Shi Quan, who usually kept to himself, would be so strong.

Seeing that it had had a deterrent effect, Shi Quan withdrew his gaze and walked towards his bed.

Although he didn't know what had happened, Shi Quan had a general idea of ​​what had happened.

After Xiao Wu became the head of Notting Academy, she immediately asked Xiao Chenyu to arrange work-study jobs for the students.

Xiao Chenyu's arrangement was likely to have these first-year students help the work-study students with their tasks.

He had previously seen Chang Ke curry favor with Xiao Chenyu, but he never expected that Xiao Chenyu would betray him so easily.

The ordinary students were all from wealthy and influential families, so they naturally couldn't be happy to hear that they were going to help a group of work-study students with their work.

That's why, out of consideration for his roommate and classmate, Shi Quan didn't go too far. Moreover, judging from Chang Ke's agitated appearance just now, he himself was also very unwilling.

Seeing Shi Quan leave, Chang Ke, who was lying on the ground in fear, struggled to get up. His gaze toward Shi Quan was filled with fear and resentment.

After a night of cultivation, Shi Quan, as usual, got up early and went out to cultivate.

Like Shi Quan, Tang San also has the habit of getting up early. However, because of his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye, Tang San is mostly in a high position and not on the playground.

Dormitory Building 3.

Chang Ke looked at the now empty Shi Quan bed and his expression turned somewhat ferocious.

Chang Ke's two lackeys, quick to read the room, asked in hushed tones, "Brother Chang, Shi Quan is being disobedient, what should we do?"

Chang Ke sneered, "This cleaning isn't something he can just decide not to do. This job was assigned to us by Boss Xiao. Boss Xiao listens to Sister Xiao Wu. It's normal for us to report to Sister Xiao Wu when we encounter problems, right?"

Chang Ke's lackeys exchanged a knowing smile. "Haha, Brother Chang is the smartest."

"Let's go to Dormitory Seven."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Ke led his two lackeys in a grand procession toward Dormitory 7 on the first floor.

Seventh Dormitory.

"Is Sister Xiaowu here?" Chang Ke's voice came from the doorway.

Xiao Wu, who was in the dormitory, heard the sound coming from the door and immediately turned around to look.

Seeing that it was Chang Ke, Xiao Wu jumped off the bed and strode towards the door with her head held high. "What? You're not convinced?"

Chang Ke was in the same grade as her, and like Xiao Chenyu, he looked down on her, a work-study student. Although he didn't say it outright, she had heard a lot about it behind her back.

Chang Ke quickly smiled obsequiously and said, "No, no, no, how could I possibly disagree with Sister Xiao Wu?"

Xiao Wu said haughtily, "Hmph, at least you know your place. So, what is it?"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu's question, Chang Ke immediately revealed an angry expression. "Didn't Brother Xiao ask us to help you clean? We're naturally happy to help you, Sister Xiao Wu, but you don't know, there's this clueless guy who not only refused to help you, but also spouted nonsense, saying that you're just a bunch of poor work-study students, not even worthy of carrying his shoes, let alone helping him clean! Absolutely not!"

Chang Ke was born into an aristocratic family. Under the influence of his surroundings, he didn't learn much else, but he did learn a bit of the cunning of the nobility.

"What?!"

As expected, Xiao Wu immediately showed an angry expression upon hearing this, and not only her, but Wang Sheng and the others also showed an angry expression.

According to Chang Ke, this person not only looked down on Xiao Wu, but also on all of them, the work-study students. They had finally managed to turn their lives around, and these words could be said to have offended all of them.

Xiao Wu said angrily, "Tell me, which brat is it? I'll teach him a lesson!"

"That person is Shi Quan from our class." Seeing that Huo Tian had almost finished, Chang Ke finally revealed Shi Quan's name.

"Shi Quan?"

Whenever Shi Quan was mentioned, Xiao Wu immediately recalled how he not only lied to her during the opening ceremony but also ignored her, which made her even angrier.

Xiao Wu asked angrily, "Where is he?"

Chang Ke quickly replied, "It should be on the playground."

Furious, Xiao Wu didn't bother to consider whether Chang Kede's words were true or not, and led everyone directly towards the playground.

Every morning, Shi Quan would practice the Yi Jin Xi Sui method on the playground. Many people in the dormitory would see him and know that Shi Quan would go to the playground for morning exercise every day.

Tang San, who had just finished cultivating on the roof of the dormitory building, happened to run into Xiao Wu and the others who were leading Wang Sheng and the others out of the dormitory building in a menacing manner. He knew at a glance that something must have happened, so he quickly got up and chased after them in the direction of Xiao Wu and the others.

"What's wrong, Xiao Wu?" Tang San quickly came up behind Xiao Wu.

Upon seeing Tang San, Xiao Wu angrily said, "That guy Shi Quan not only looks down on us work-study students, but he also said that we're not even worthy to carry his shoes. I have to go and teach that guy a lesson."

"Really?" Tang San frowned upon hearing this, as he was also a work-study student.

Xiao Wu glared at Tang San, then pointed at Chang Ke beside her, "Of course it's true! If you don't believe me, just ask Chang Ke. He said it to Chang Ke's face."

Tang San frowned. He knew that Shi Quan had also started as a work-study student, but his parents didn't want him to suffer, so they paid the tuition on the spot, which made him a regular student. Shi Quan didn't seem like the kind of person who would say such things.

Thinking of this, Tang San turned his gaze to Chang Ke beside him, staring intently at him as he asked, "Did Shi Quan say that to your face?"

Chang Ke nodded quickly without batting an eye and said, "That's right. They were there at the time, and they can vouch for me."

Upon hearing Chang Ke say this, the two lackeys quickly echoed his sentiments.

"Really?" Tang San withdrew his gaze. He had gone hunting for spirit beasts with Grandmaster since the start of the semester, so he wasn't familiar with his classmates. He had only met Xiao Wu and Shi Quan a few times.

In addition, Shi Quan's parents had helped him and Old Jack when they registered. As they walked, Tang San thought to himself, "I'll ask Xiao Wu to go easy on her when she teaches her men a lesson."

Before long, a group of people noticed Shi Quan in a corner of the playground and immediately swarmed towards where he was.

After a period of cultivation, Shi Quan had also become more observant and perceptive, and soon noticed Xiao Wu and the others walking towards him in a large group not far away.

When he noticed Chang Ke beside Xiao Wu, his brows furrowed immediately. As he snapped out of his cultivation, his eyes turned cold. "Looks like the lesson wasn't enough."

There are only a dozen or so work-study students in total, while there are more than thirty people in Dormitory 3. Each person has a workload, so in theory, it can be divided up no matter how you divide it. But Chang Ke still came to find Xiao Wu because of this matter, which means that he didn't teach her enough a lesson last night.

Before Xiao Wu could speak, Chang Ke spoke first, using her influence to her advantage, saying, "Shi Quan, aren't you dissatisfied? If you're so capable, then you should talk to Sister Xiao Wu yourself."

Shi Quan looked at Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu looked at Shi Quan in return. "Shi Quan, I didn't hold what happened to you last time, but you still dare to provoke us. I think you're just asking for a beating."

Shi Quan coldly looked at Chang Ke beside Xiao Wu and said, "I'm very busy and don't have time to sweep the floor for you. If you want someone to sweep the floor for you, you should find someone else."

Upon hearing this, Tang San realized that the reason for the incident was actually their cleaning.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately felt her authority as the "Sister Xiao Wu" had been challenged. "Are you asking for a beating!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu took a step forward and arrived in front of Shi Quan in a few flashes. She bent her right knee and kicked out with her toes, aiming straight for Shi Quan's chin.

Tang San originally wanted to try to persuade her, but Xiao Wu didn't give him a chance to speak at all. He could only call out from afar, "Xiao Wu, we're in the same class after all, go easy on her."

Shi Quan frowned. He had always known that Xiao Wu was domineering, but he hadn't expected her to be this domineering. She had attacked him without saying a word. If it were according to his temperament in his previous life, he would have already retorted.

Whether it was the sedimentation of two lifetimes or the influence of Shi Jian, he was now more composed in his actions than before.

Xiao Wu and Tang San are both one-ring Soul Masters, with significantly stronger Soul Power than him. They also possess Soul Skills. Right now, he is definitely no match for them. Before he has the strength, he doesn't want to make things too ugly with them.

Knowing that Xiao Wu's attack methods were all close-combat, he did not attack rashly. Instead, he suppressed his anger, stepped out horizontally, and retreated rapidly, disappearing several meters away in a short time.

"Run?" Xiao Wu scoffed. "You think you can escape?"

With a sudden burst of strength from her feet, Xiao Wu sprang up like a rabbit and pounced on Shi Quan.

"I just didn't want to help you sweep the floor, and you're going to lecture me? Aren't you being a bit too domineering?"

Shi Quan responded coldly, and with a tap of his foot, he moved as if teleported to a position three meters away again...
