Seeing his treacherous sister, Tang San's eyelids twitched. He took a deep breath and said, "My name is Tang San. My martial soul is the Blue Silver Grass. Please guide me."
"Blue Silver Grass? Since when could the Blue Silver Grass martial soul be cultivated?"
"Wow! He beat the boss with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul, oh wait, the former boss!"
"So amazing, is it really a废武魂 (waste martial soul)?"
Xiao Wu flicked her long scorpion braid, tilting her chin slightly, "Xiao Wu, my martial soul is a rabbit. Please guide me!"
The moment the last syllable fell, as if a referee had blown the opening whistle, Xiao Wu instantly shot out. Her right leg bent at the knee and rose, cutting through the air and swiftly heading straight for Tang San's vulnerable chin.
Such speed!
Tang San sidestepped, twisting his body rapidly to flash to the left, dodging the attack. At the same time, he extended his right hand to grab Xiao Wu's ankle and used his right foot to strike Xiao Wu's waist, turning defense into offense.
The other students were watching Tang San and Xiao Wu's fight with rapt attention. Even Wang Sheng, who had spoken earlier, was staring intently at Tang San's movements, his eyes shining with brilliance as he tried to memorize them.
[Host, you could actually learn their combat techniques too.]
The system, which had been dormant, suddenly chimed in.
Tang Sui's heart stirred. She watched them exchange kicks, hearing the sonic booms as they cut through the air with each strike, and inwardly shook her head.
'No, no. I'm afraid I'd break a bone just by touching someone.'
[Host, do you know what the essence of Shikigami is? Healers become damage dealers, supports become mages. Don't you want to become the strongest magic support who can't be defeated?]
The system whispered seductively.
Tang Sui silently watched their back-and-forth sparring, feeling a flicker of interest.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu had already thrown Tang San down and landed nimbly on the ground, looking at the fallen Tang San with a smirk. "I win!"
Tang San flipped over and got up, readily admitting his defeat. "I lost. Can you tell me what technique you used just now?"
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "This is called Soft Technique. It's a skill that utilizes the body's softness and resilience."
"So that's how it is."
Soft Technique, unheard of in his previous life. This world truly brought him different surprising discoveries every time.
Tang San patted the dust off his clothes. Protected by the Profound Heavenly Skill, he wasn't injured even after being roughly thrown to the ground.
"I lost. According to dormitory rules, from now on, Xiao Wu is the dorm leader of the seventh dormitory... and the boss of us."
He turned around and said to the stunned spectators.
The dormitory students who had been watching were all dumbfounded. Especially Wang Sheng, Tang San's earlier victory over him had already been inexplicable enough. Now, Tang San was defeated in one move by this beautiful young girl, and his eyes were wide with astonishment.
Good heavens, this is incredible. Why are all the work-study students who came this year so powerful?
Xiao Wu made a V-sign with her fingers, then skipped over to the bright-eyed Tang Sui, taking the school uniform from her hand. Seeing Tang Sui, who looked pale and malnourished, she subconsciously softened her voice and pulled a... carrot candy from her pocket.
"Thank you for holding my things. Have this candy. You're so thin and light, you must eat more!"
"I'm the boss of our seventh dormitory from now on! Call me Sister Xiao Wu, and I'll protect you!" Xiao Wu, who had quickly accepted the role of dormitory leader, had already integrated herself into the position and proactively included Tang Sui within her protective circle.
Tang Sui looked down at the exquisite candy lying in her fair palm and reached out to take it.
"Thank you, Sister Xiao Wu."
"You're welcome." Xiao Wu smiled sweetly, reached out, and contentedly ruffled Tang Sui's soft hair.
Next was the usual dormitory chat among the students, where they also introduced the rules of Nuoding Academy to Tang Sui and Tang San.
In the middle of their conversation, a tutor from Nuoding Academy came knocking, carrying two new sets of bedding, which they gave to Tang Sui and Tang San.
With empty hands, only a few small items and new school uniforms, Xiao Wu was immediately shocked. "Are there no blankets provided in the dormitory?"
She turned her head to look at the other unoccupied beds.
The beds were all empty, with only a pillow.
"Ah... because they're work-study students, they don't have much money to begin with. The academy isn't a charity, so they only provide a bed and a room. Everything else is self-provided," Wang Sheng scratched his head.
At this moment, Tang Sui, who had been observing, padded forward and looked up at Xiao Wu with expectant eyes. "Sister Xiao Wu, do you want to sleep with me?"
Isn't it nice to snuggle with a pretty, soft, and cuddly older sister? What's a smelly brother?
Xiao Wu met Tang Sui's eager gaze, and her heart felt like it was pierced by a cupid's arrow. She said in a mesmerized voice, "Okay!"
--- Aside ---
Seeing the pretty sister's eyes light up, Tang Sui: I want to snuggle with my sister!
When playing Onmyoji, Mo Li often entered the "Five Heavenly Maidens" mode. Once, there was a match of five Meng Po vs. five Momiji. Our side was Momiji, but we were utterly crushed by their five Meng Po. So embarrassing T_T
