Chapter 6, Section 6: The Challenge

"So handsome!"

Xiao Wu exclaimed inwardly, her big, bright eyes fixed on Luo's narrow eyes that shone like black gemstones.

Although Luo was exceptionally handsome, comparable to those once-popular heartthrobs of his previous life, his expression was as cold as an iceberg standing atop a snow-capped mountain, making him unapproachable.

However, this indifference did not diminish Luo's charm; on the contrary, it added a noble and mysterious aura to him, as if he were a prince of illustrious status, high above and inviolable.

In addition, Luo's tall and slender figure made him neither fat nor thin. Although his clothes were very simple, they were much better than Tang San's patched clothes, which accentuated Luo's elegant figure.

Xiao Wu quietly glanced around at all the boys in the dormitory and found that Luo was still the most handsome, much more handsome than Tang San, whom she had fought before.

At this point, Wang Sheng suggested that everyone go to the cafeteria for lunch first. This suggestion was met with enthusiastic support from all the work-study students, and Luo also quietly joined them.

Since Tang San and Xiao Wu had no money, Wang Sheng generously offered to treat them to meals for the next two days. Luo, although he had some money on him, didn't deliberately try to show off.

So, led by Wang Sheng, the twelve students from Dormitory 7 left the dormitory building in a grand procession, crossed the wide playground, and headed towards the college cafeteria.

However, just as they were about to reach the edge of the playground, they ran into a group of well-dressed students.

These students were dressed in clean and tidy clothes, and it was obvious at a glance that their family backgrounds were far superior to those of Luo and the other work-study students.

"Hey, isn't this Wang Sheng and the other work-study students? You penniless guys actually dared to come downstairs for a meal? Don't you usually have to rummage through the trash for food?"

One of the students, who appeared to be the leader, scoffed.

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng immediately clenched his fists, glared angrily at the student who had spoken, and demanded, "Xiao Chenyu, are you trying to cause trouble?"

The student named Xiao Chenyu was about the same height as Wang Sheng. Although he still looked somewhat immature, it was clear at a glance that he was an upperclassman.

He held his head high, looking down at Wang Sheng and the others with disdain, his arrogant demeanor practically strutting his heels to the heavens.

"You lot—"

Just as Xiao Chenyu was about to say something, Luo suddenly stepped out from the work-study group, stood in front of them, and interrupted him:

"Looks like you upperclassmen look down on us work-study students, huh? Fine, I'll take you on one-on-one."

"If you lose, from now on you must stay away from me and never appear in front of me again."

"If I lose, I will acknowledge you, Xiao Chenyu, as my boss from now on and become your underling."

"How about it? These are pretty good terms, aren't they? I think Xiao Chenyu, as a senior student, you wouldn't refuse a challenge from a freshman, would you?"

These words immediately drew laughter from Xiao Chenyu and his group. They couldn't help but look at Luo, who had no expression on his face, with smiles on their faces as if they were looking at a fool.

Even Wang Sheng and the others changed their expressions, and they all stood in front of Luo in surprise, seemingly trying to persuade him to give up the challenge.

After all, in normal people's understanding, a freshman who has just entered school has not yet obtained his first soul ring and his soul power level is only a few levels at most. How could he possibly be a match for a senior student?

Not to mention Xiao Chenyu, a senior student, who has definitely already obtained his first soul ring and whose soul power level is at least level eleven or higher, making him far stronger than the average senior student.

Only Tang San and Xiao Wu stood motionless, arms crossed, appearing calm and seemingly unconcerned that Luo would fail in his challenge.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, believed that since Luo was so good-looking, he must not be a stupid person. He dared to challenge a senior student who was several years older than him, so he must have his own trump card.

Tang San's reasons were similar to Xiao Wu's. Among all the children in Holy Soul Village, he and Luo were the only two who didn't play wildly with the other children and usually acted like mature adults.

Therefore, Tang San firmly believed that since Luo dared to take the initiative to challenge him, he would not do something without reason, and must have his own confidence.

Just as Wang Sheng was sweating profusely and pacing around like an ant on a hot pan, completely helpless, Xiao Chenyu suddenly spoke up:

"Hahaha, since you, this arrogant freshman, are so eager to be my underling, then I, Boss Xiao, cannot let you down. Alright! I accept your challenge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chenyu suddenly summoned his Martial Soul and completed the Martial Soul Possession.

"Xiao Chenyu, a sixth-year student, martial soul—wolf, level eleven battle soul master!"

Xiao Chenyu revealed his information in public, his body emitting a faint blue light as he transformed into a werewolf. He glared fiercely at Luo, who remained calm, while a white soul ring appeared beneath his feet.

Facing the seemingly fierce Xiao Chenyu, Luo calmly summoned Yama, gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, and said in a deep voice:

"Luo, a first-year student, Martial Soul—Yamaka, Level 7 Soul Warrior!"

Upon hearing Luo's words, the senior students burst into laughter, as if mocking Luo for being so overconfident.

"This is absolutely hilarious! A level seven Soul Warrior, not even a Soul Master, actually dares to challenge Boss Xiao, who is already a one-ring Soul Master!"

"Exactly! Let's watch a good show later! Let's see how pathetic this part-time worker looks after being so easily defeated by Boss Xiao!"

"Hahaha, Boss Xiao, you'd better go easy on him. If you accidentally hurt this kid, it'll be a real problem!"

"By the way, look at the knife in his hand, why is it rusted? Why is his martial spirit a rusty knife?"

"Hahaha, that's hilarious. This kid was talking about some kind of Yama, I thought it was some amazing martial soul, but it turns out it's just a rusty knife!"

"Does he really think he can challenge Boss Xiao with just a rusty blade martial spirit? That's just incredibly overconfident!"

……

The mocking voices of the senior students kept coming. Wang Sheng felt he couldn't care less about anything else. He gritted his teeth and wanted to tell Luo to give up the challenge.

At worst, we can make him step forward and kowtow to Boss Xiao in public to apologize. We can't just stand by and watch Luo really become Boss Xiao's underling!
