Chapter 12 Heading to the Stars
But the moment they turned the corner, they all stopped abruptly.
The next second, the group of people stared blankly, as if they had seen something unbelievable.
In the distance, in the open space near the dormitory entrance, Xiao Wu was lying on the ground in a disheveled state.
Immediately afterward, Wang Sheng darted up to Tang Chuan, his eyes shining as he looked at the latter with genuine admiration, saying, "Brother Chuan! You defeated Sister Xiao Wu! From today onwards, you're the boss of our Dormitory 7!"
The other work-study students nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with awe and admiration.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu was still lying on the ground not far away, gritting her teeth and staring at Tang Chuan with a face full of resentment, her fists clenched tightly, looking unconvinced.
Tang Chuan glanced at Wang Sheng, then at Xiao Wu on the ground, his expression indifferent, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable sharpness:
"I have no interest in being a boss."
"Xiao Wu, I've already taught you a lesson today."
"If you dare to interfere with my work again, don't blame me for not holding back."
After saying this, Tang Chuan turned and walked towards the dormitory.
The setting sun cast a long shadow of him.
Just as Tang Chuan took a few steps, a furious roar, filled with gritted teeth, suddenly came from behind him:
"You just wait, Tang Chuan! One day, I will defeat you!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan paused slightly, but did not turn around. He simply raised his right hand and gently waved it behind him, speaking calmly:
"Those who fall to my hand are never considered my opponents. I give you time to catch up, until you can no longer see them!"
A moment later, his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
Seeing this scene before them, Wang Sheng and the others blushed, their shoulders trembling uncontrollably as they struggled to suppress their laughter.
Finally, Wang Sheng couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing: "Hahaha... Little Wu, even she gets her comeuppance sometimes! Brother Chuan's kick just now was absolutely brilliant!"
His laughter was like a floodgate opening; the other work-study students immediately burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs.
"What are you laughing at?!"
Suddenly, a furious shout rang out!
Xiao Wu suddenly looked up, her face burning with anger, her eyes almost spitting fire, glaring at Wang Sheng and his group like a ruffled rabbit.
"Dare to laugh again?! Believe me, I'll beat you so badly your own mothers won't recognize you!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng and the others shuddered, their expressions immediately changing. They forcibly suppressed smiles and shook their heads vigorously.
"I'm not laughing anymore, I'm not laughing anymore... Sister Xiaowu is awesome, Sister Xiaowu is invincible..."
Xiao Wu snorted angrily, turned around, stomped her foot, and stormed off toward the dormitory.
After her figure completely disappeared at the stairwell entrance, Wang Sheng and the others held back for a full ten seconds before finally collapsing to the ground and bursting into laughter once again.
"That was so satisfying! I could laugh for three days straight after that kick!"
"Hahaha--"
The next second, everyone else burst into laughter, and in an instant, the entrance to the work-study student dormitory became a scene of pure joy.
From that moment on, Tang Chuan's name spread far and wide among the work-study students at Notting Academy. The ruthless man who kicked Xiao Wu away suddenly appeared out of nowhere from Dormitory 7.
.........
At night, the moonlight shines brightly on Notting College, casting a silvery glow on the tree-lined paths. A gentle breeze rustles the leaves.
Under the big locust tree in a corner of the academy's back garden, Xiao Wu and Tang San walked side by side. Xiao Wu was currently kicking the pebbles at her feet with her arms crossed, looking extremely depressed.
Tang San walked quietly beside Xiao Wu, and seeing her unpleasant expression, he couldn't help but ask:
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you today? Who made you angry?"
Xiao Wu suddenly stopped and then told Tang San what had happened that day.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San froze, his eyes filled with astonishment:
"What did you say? You were defeated by... my brother?"
"It's true! I didn't take him seriously at first, but who knew that guy was so fast, I couldn't hit him at all!" Xiao Wu stomped her foot angrily, her tone filled with resentment and shame.
"Even after I used my soul skill, he still managed to tie me up like a dumpling with Blue Silver Grass, and then... kicked me!"
In the end, Xiao Wu turned her face away angrily, looking all wronged.
Tang San was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. His brows furrowed slowly, and he said in a low voice, "My brother... only has level one innate soul power."
"You're a legitimate Soul Master, with Soul Rings and Soul Skills, how could you lose?"
Xiao Wu nodded with a frustrated look: "Yeah, I think it's strange too! His Blue Silver Grass seems to be particularly tough, even though he doesn't have any spirit rings, he's practically a freak."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's expression gradually became serious. His mind flashed back to his brother's behavior over the past few days, and he couldn't help but ponder inwardly:
"Could it be... that my brother has been hiding something from me?"
An unprecedented sense of curiosity and vigilance quietly grew in his heart.
Without speaking immediately, Tang San simply tilted his head slightly upwards, gazing at the cold, round moon, his eyes gradually becoming deep and profound.
"If that's the case, then I need to find an opportunity."
.........
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Life at Notting College was anything but leisurely, but Tang Chuan was busy gradually realizing his plans.
During the day, he attended classes and did odd jobs as a work-study student. In the evening, he would cultivate his soul power while setting up a stall to roast rabbits at the dormitory entrance.
These days, he hunted over a hundred wild rabbits, skillfully processing, marinating, and roasting them. The aroma filled the entire dormitory, turning it into a rabbit meat research base.
With this unassuming rabbit meat stall, Tang Chuan quietly amassed a small fortune, and now, his opportunity has finally arrived.
Notting College is on holiday for a few days.
This was a break for the students, but for Tang Chuan, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to leave school. He wanted to take advantage of this time to go to the Star Dou Great Forest.
He got up early that morning and tidied himself up quickly.
Afterward, he put on a gray cloth long gown he had just bought at the market, put on a hat, and deliberately kept a low profile before quietly leaving through the side gate of the academy.
When Tang Chuan arrived at the market outside Nottingham City, it was just dawn and the streets were not yet bustling. He quickly found the carriage shop he had previously inquired about and rented a sturdy two-wheeled carriage.
The driver was an old man in his fifties named Uncle Li. He had a rough complexion, spoke in sparsely, and looked very steady and reliable.
"Destination: the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Avoid the main roads and official routes, and try not to attract attention," Tang Chuan said calmly, handing over a small bag of copper soul coins.
Uncle Li took the copper soul coin, looked him up and down a few times, didn't ask any questions, and simply nodded: "Okay. We can get out of the Southern Ridge before dark, and after two more days of travel, we'll reach the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. There's a small town there where we can stay."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan nodded, gently lifted the carriage curtain, and sat down in the carriage.
