"One Ring, Level Thirteen!"
When Cheng Xiao announced his Martial Soul and level, the upperclassmen behind Xiao Chenyu were already dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock.
"How is that possible? How old are you!" Xiao Chenyu gasped, already secretly considering conceding defeat.
They were both One Ring Soul Masters, but the difference in levels was two, not to mention the gap those two levels created. Just Cheng Xiao's Shadow Soldiers Martial Soul was something he'd never even heard of.
"Oh, I forgot to mention something," Cheng Xiao said with a smile, looking at Xiao Chenyu's disbelief. "My First Soul Ring is a Hundred-Year one."
As he spoke, a dark purple Soul Ring rose from beneath Cheng Xiao's feet, circling his body and pulsating rhythmically.
Actually, Cheng Xiao deliberately said his Soul Ring was a Hundred-Year one because he wanted to understand the effects of his Soul Ring disguise skill. This was a good opportunity.
Staring fixedly at the yellow Soul Ring rising beneath Cheng Xiao's feet, Xiao Chenyu felt as if all the strength in his body had been instantly drained. A two-level difference in Soul Power, the characteristics of the Martial Soul unknown, and a Hundred-Year Soul Ring for the First Soul Ring that was far superior to his own – what was the point of even fighting?
"I admit defeat." Xiao Chenyu shook his head with a bitter smile, dejected.
Hearing Xiao Chenyu admit defeat, the older students who had come with him also changed their expressions. Even their leader had surrendered; what were they, a disorganized rabble, supposed to do?
Some of the smarter older students were already planning to slip away, as this battle was ultimately a loss for them. From now on, they would have to go out of their way to avoid the Work-Study Students.
"Then fulfill your promise," Cheng Xiao said with a gentle smile, retracting his Soul Ring.
Xiao Chenyu took a deep breath, solemnly saying, "Alright, I'll fulfill my promise. From now on, you're my boss, and we won't bully the Work-Study Students anymore."
Cheng Xiao shook his head and smiled, "No need to go to that trouble. You're older than me; calling me boss would be a bit of a stretch."
"No, no, it's not! Boss," Xiao Chenyu said quickly, "Even though we didn't actually fight, I know I'm no match for you. I completely accept you as my boss!"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao was somewhat helpless. He really didn't want people calling him boss; it gave him the feeling of being a leader of a gang of kids.
"Where's Xiao Chenyu? We, the Work-Study Students, are here!"
Just then, another group of people came over in a swarm.
"Boss, you guys aren't..." Xiao Chenyu looked at Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others who suddenly appeared, and was instantly dumbfounded.
Weren't they supposed to have only sent one Work-Study Student? Why was there another group?
Seeing Xiao Chenyu's confusion, Cheng Xiao didn't bother to explain. The result would be the same anyway, so there was no need to explain.
"Xiao Chenyu, weren't you guys going to fight us Work-Study Students?" Wang Sheng, who was leading the group, said in a low voice, "We're here now, how do you want to do this?"
"Boss, this..." Hearing Wang Sheng's words, Xiao Chenyu looked at Cheng Xiao, somewhat at a loss.
"Hmm? This person looks a bit like Boss Cheng?" Seeing Xiao Chenyu acting like an underling, Wang Sheng also noticed Cheng Xiao beside him, and couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Due to the Soul Ring, Cheng Xiao's appearance had changed slightly compared to when he had just entered the academy.
"Wang Sheng, it's me, Cheng Xiao." Cheng Xiao smiled, noticing Wang Sheng's gaze.
"Damn, Cheng Xiao!" Wang Sheng was surprised to hear Cheng Xiao announce his name.
"Cheng Xiao, you're back." Compared to Wang Sheng's surprise, Xiao Wu walked quickly to Cheng Xiao, smiling.
"Yeah, after returning from hunting souls, I planned to try out my Soul Skills, but then I ran into them." Cheng Xiao pointed at the petrified Xiao Chenyu, looking at the smiling Xiao Wu.
"Huh?" Xiao Wu was stunned. She looked at Xiao Chenyu, who looked like a subordinate, and couldn't help but make a bold guess. She covered her mouth and said in surprise, "You didn't single-handedly take them all on, did you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place was in an uproar. Except for the senior students who had already been won over by Cheng Xiao, the Work-Study Students were all shocked.
What? When did we get such a badass among the Work-Study Students? One person took on all the senior students? And won?
Hearing this, Xiao Chenyu coughed lightly, glanced at Cheng Xiao out of the corner of his eye, and then said awkwardly, "That, I didn't single-handedly take on the whole group. We surrendered, we surrendered."
Hearing this, Xiao Wu was even more surprised. She wanted to say something more, but heard Cheng Xiao say, "Chenyu, you and Wang Sheng handle some of the follow-up matters. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, boss." Xiao Chenyu nodded, ignoring Xiao Wu, who was pouting. He turned his head and looked at the senior students behind him, shouting, "From now on, Cheng Xiao is our boss at Notting Elementary Academy. Come over and greet Boss Cheng."
Cheng Xiao watched the upperclassmen bowing to him with a face full of black lines. For some reason, he had the feeling of a certain gangster boss, Xu Jiang, from a popular show.
However, he didn't pay too much attention. Amidst the worshipful gazes of the Work-Study Students and upperclassmen, he walked out of the grove.
"Hey, Cheng Xiao!" Xiao Wu pouted and called out, chasing after Cheng Xiao.
For some reason, she was now particularly curious about how Cheng Xiao had defeated Xiao Chenyu and the others. Although Xiao Chenyu said they had conceded, there had to be a process, right?
Watching the two figures leave, Xiao Chenyu slapped his forehead and muttered, "Damn, I thought I only had one boss above me, but now it seems there are two."
"Xiao Chenyu, what do you mean by that?" Wang Sheng was a bit confused.
"Idiot!" Xiao Chenyu glared at Wang Sheng. Commoners were just commoners; other than a strong person like Boss Cheng, these Work-Study Students were truly lacking in knowledge.
"You..." Wang Sheng was speechless, choked by Xiao Chenyu's "idiot." Mainly because he really didn't understand what Xiao Chenyu meant, and he had no way to refute.
"Alright, don't think I'll treat you any differently just because Cheng Xiao is a Work-Study Student." Xiao Chenyu warned Wang Sheng. "I'm Cheng Xiao's number one underling. You're behind me, got it?"
Wang Sheng was a bit dumbfounded. He looked at Xiao Chenyu, who was warning him with a serious face, and couldn't help but feel dazed. Was this still the arrogant and overbearing Xiao Chenyu? He seemed like a loyal underling.
On the other side, Tang San walked out of Master's room. After a whole afternoon of Master's Martial Soul theory instruction, he deeply realized the importance of Martial Soul theory.
But right now, he still needed to go to the Hall of Martial Souls for a Soul Master assessment to get a Soul Master subsidy. After all, that was a Gold Soul Coin subsidy!
