17 Chapter 17: Working Students vs Noble Students

In the afternoon, at the back of the hill of the Academy.

Xiao Chenyu stood surrounded by some of his juniors, alongside Liu Long and Ling Feng. He cast a disdainful look at Xiao Wu and the others and spoke up, "Well, now that we're all here, let's begin, shall we? Little Bunny."

Xiao Wu ignored him and gave Wang Sheng a look, who understood and replied, "Fine, it will be as we have arranged. We will compete in three matches. The one who gets two victories will be the winner. Is it all clear?"

"Heh, let's start then!" Xiao Chenyu waved his hand disdainfully and said, "Liu Long, you're up!"

Liu Long's Martial Soul was a Staff, with a soul power of around rank 9.

"Which one of you, work students, dare to face me, Liu Long!" said Liu Long proudly, while carrying a staff with him.

"I'll do it!" Wang Sheng gritted his teeth and stepped forward. Apart from Tang San and Xiao Wu, he was the strongest working student in Room 7, so Xiao Wu included him in today's duel.

Wang Sheng's Martial Soul was a Battle Tiger, with a soul power of around rank 8, one level lower than Liu Long.

But Wang Sheng had a beast Martial Soul, resistant to blows, and if he could get close, he had a good chance of winning, provided, of course, that he could get close.

"Xiao San, do you think Wang Sheng can win?" Xiao Wu asked in a low voice with a carefree expression on her face. On Xiao Wu's initiative, both she and Tang San had resolved their problems long ago.

In the first place, what Tang San had said was the most reasonable thing to do, and Xiao Wu also knew this, which was why she waited until this time to resolve things with the noble students.

By resolving their problems, naturally, the two of them became friends again.

"Hardly!" Tang San shook his head and said, "Wang Sheng's soul power is one level lower than his opponent, and since his opponent's Martial Soul is a staff, it's hard for Wang Sheng to get close."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Xiao Wu asked again.

"It doesn't matter, there are still the two of us, we will definitely win, it's two out of three anyway!". Tang San was optimistic, one defeat would be enough, as long as they won in the end.

"It's not necessarily impossible for him to win." At this moment, a voice reached both of their ears.

"Ah! Why are you appearing like this? You always do the same thing! What do you think you are, a ghost!?" Looking at Lu Yuan who suddenly appeared beside them, despite being happily surprised, Xiao Wu spoke reproachfully.

Tang San narrowed his eyes; he hadn't noticed Lu Yuan's arrival at all.

Lu Yuan's Phoenix Dance Six Illusions had already been practiced to perfection, and moving noiselessly was only a trivial matter. It was a trick that always caught Xiao Wu off guard, so it was amusing to do.

"So, since when are you here?" Tang San asked.

"I just arrived and heard that you're talking about the Wang Sheng matter." Lu Yuan laughed nonchalantly as he stroked Xiao Wu's little head.

"Then how do you think Wang Sheng can win?" Tang San asked, still skeptical.

Lu Yuan's eyes glinted with a hint of amusement, "Wang Sheng's Martial Soul is a Battle Tiger, his physical quality and resistance to blows are much stronger than Liu Long's. Liu Long's Martial Soul is a staff, which gives him a longer reach, but that also means he's more vulnerable to close combat. If Wang Sheng can get close enough, he has a chance of winning."

"But how will he get close to Liu Long with that Staff?" Tang San pressed on.

"By luring him in," Lu Yuan said with a sly grin. "Liu Long and Xiao Chenyu have been together for a long time, and they both have a tendency to underestimate their opponents. Wang Sheng should play into that by showing weakness and then launching a surprise attack when Liu Long least expects it. It may be painful, but it's a chance for victory."

Having instructed Wang Sheng a couple of times, naturally, Lu Yuan was clear about his ability.

"But we must make sure that Liu Long doesn't suspect anything," Lu Yuan added.

"Otherwise, the plan will fail. It's better for Wang Sheng to take a more cautious approach, wearing down Liu Long's soul power before making his move. That way, his chances of defeating Liu Long with one strike will increase." After finishing his analysis, Lu Yuan winked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was already very familiar with Lu Yuan, so she understood what he meant instantly, and couldn't help but giggle like a little witch.

"Hehe, Wang Sheng has thick skin anyway, what's a little pain?"

She then motioned for Wang Sheng to come over, calling out, "Wang Sheng, come here!"

"Sister Xiao Wu, what's wrong?" Wang Sheng, who was already on the field, was ready to start the fight, but when he saw Xiao Wu's movement, he moved toward her.

"Come here, listen to me!" Xiao Wu quietly relayed to Wang Sheng word for word what Lu Yuan had said, and when she finished, she glared at him and said "Lu Yuan taught you a lot, if you dare to disappoint him... do you understand?"

"Y-Yes!" Wang Sheng nodded like a chicken pecking rice; cold sweat ran down his face.

Xiao Wu smiled and patted his shoulder, signaling him to return to the battle.

Wang Sheng turned around and returned to the battle with a fierce expression on his face.

On the other side, someone from Xiao Chenyu's group noticed Lu Yuan's presence.

"Boss, look, that seems to be Boss Lu!" Ling Feng, who was standing beside Xiao Chenyu, saw Lu Yuan at a glance and hurriedly pulled Xiao Chenyu's attention towards him.

"What, where!?" Hearing Lu Yuan's name, Xiao Chenyu's body trembled. The memory of being beaten by Lu Yuan was still fresh in his mind.

"So it's Boss Lu who has arrived, little brother Xiao Chenyu regrets not welcoming you!" Xiao Chenyu led Ling Feng and hurriedly ran to Lu Yuan's position as he spoke.

It couldn't be helped, there was no one in Xiao Chenyu's group who did not fear Lu Yuan, and the one who feared him the most was Xiao Chenyu himself.

"Boss Lu, what are you doing here?" Xiao Chenyu looked at Tang San near Lu Yuan, he feared that Lu Yuan was here to help the Working Students, if that was the case then, why would they have to compete anymore? They could simply admit defeat!

Because Xiao Wu had moved from her place to talk to Wang Sheng, Xiao Chenyu didn't think he was here for her.

"I'm just here to watch the show, you guys can exchange pointers with each other, don't worry about me." Lu Yuan naturally knew Xiao Chenyu's small mind, and immediately waved his hand and said.

Otherwise, Xiao Chenyu would back down, and Xiao Wu would not be able to vent her anger.

"That's good, that's good!" Xiao Chenyu was relieved and said, "Boss Lu, then is it okay for me to go back first?"

"Go!" said Lu Yuan.

With Lu Yuan's permission, Xiao Chenyu ran back to his original place, for him, being around Lu Yuan was too nerve-wracking.

"What did you do to this Xiao Chenyu to make him like this?" Tang San, who had listened to the conversation, asked with interest.

"Heh!" Lu Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "This guy likes to bully in the Academy, he once picked on me, and I beat him up so badly that he didn't get out of bed for half a month. After that, he gets scared every time he sees me."

"Oh! That's the way it is." Tang San nodded.

Xiao Wu, who had returned, took Lu Yuan's arm and joined the conversation. "Hmph! Later on, I'll also give him such a big beating that he'll pee out of fear every time he thinks of my name, that way, he'll never forget how powerful Sister Xiao Wu is!"

Hearing Xiao Wu, who was squeezing his arm tightly, while waving her pretty scorpion braid back and forth, Lu Yuan dedicated a minute of silence to Xiao Chenyu.
