Soul Land: I am not convinced

At the door of the work-study dorm, a little girl was standing.

The little girl was pretty, about the same size as Ye Feng, and she seemed to be only six years old. Her skin was pale with a rosy glow, which made her stand out. Her pink and tender face looked like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite.

She was dressed plainly, wearing a short pink skirt that revealed her fair and slender legs. Her brown hair was braided into a twist, just reaching the upturned curve of her back. A pair of big, watery eyes curiously looked at the furnishings in the work-study dorm.

What was most peculiar was that the little girl had a pair of pale pink rabbit ears, which added a cute and whimsical touch. Combined with her big eyes, she looked utterly adorable.

"Girl?" Tang San asked with a surprised expression.

"We're only a junior soul master academy here, so we don't divide by gender just yet. It's only when we reach the intermediate soul master academy that we separate men and women. Last year and the year before that, there wasn't a single work-study student, but this year, we have three," Wang Sheng explained, his tone full of emotion.

"No one answered me? Is this a work-study dorm?" the little girl continued to ask.

"This is the work-study dorm," Wang Sheng replied. He looked at Ye Feng, reached out his hand, and gave him a gentle push on the back. "Boss, the newcomer is here. You should try your skills. Come on, give her a blow."

Ye Feng was still gazing at Xiao Wu when Wang Sheng pushed him forward. Staring at Xiao Wu, he was momentarily stunned. He had to admit... Xiao Wu was cute.

Xiao Wu seemed a little shy, her big, watery eyes moving. Remembering the advice from the people in her village to always smile when meeting others and never hit smiling people, she immediately showed a sweet smile and introduced herself: "Hi everyone, my name is Xiao Wu."

"Hello, my name is Ye Feng. I'm the boss here."

"Boss?" Xiao Wu interrupted, her tone playful. "The leaf of the leaf, the peak of the mountain. There are leaves, and there are mountains. My martial soul is a rabbit, so... aren't you my home?"

"Hehe, you're interesting," Ye Feng smiled, continuing his introduction. "My martial soul is... well, it's Wild Flower. Anyway, we have a rule here in the work-study dorm: new students must challenge the boss. The loser must respect the winner as the boss. So, we need to test our skills."

"Are you sure?" Xiao Wu asked, her confidence shining through with a playful smile.

"I'm sure," Ye Feng answered confidently.

Ye Feng's martial soul was not Wild Flower but Nine Heaven Flowering Begonia, a mutated form of Nine Heart Flowering Begonia. However, to avoid any trouble, Ye Feng decided to temporarily go with Wild Flower, as stated in the official martial soul certificate issued by Spirit Hall. It was better to play it safe.

As a time traveler, Ye Feng knew that Xiao Wu currently had the First Soul Skill: Waist Bow. On the other hand, although Ye Feng had learned a powerful human-sword combination from his master, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, he hadn't mastered it yet. Still, he was confident that he could beat Xiao Wu, especially since he knew a critical flaw in her technique.

Yes, Ye Feng was determined to become the boss!

"Okay, then, let's do this!" Xiao Wu excitedly handed the items in her hands to Wang Sheng.

Whoosh!

Before Ye Feng could even catch his breath, Xiao Wu swept the ground and attacked him.

Luckily, Ye Feng's quick reflexes saved him. He stepped forcefully on the ground, jumping backward just in time to avoid her attack.

Xiao Wu missed her first strike, but she quickly pivoted on her toes and continued chasing Ye Feng.

The two of them went back and forth, exchanging punches and kicks. It was a close fight, hard to determine the victor. As the battle wore on, Xiao Wu couldn't help but admire Ye Feng. Despite being a soul beast with a lifespan of 10 years and having rich combat experience, she found herself equally matched by a six-year-old human child.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, even the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python had to call Xiao Wu by name. But now she was beginning to think she could become the boss of the work-study dorm.

Suddenly, during their exchange, Xiao Wu's body lit up.

First Soul Skill: Waist Bow

Xiao Wu, now able to get close to Ye Feng, treated him like a mountain peak, climbing on his body with both hands. She appeared on his right side one moment, then his left the next. When Ye Feng thought she was behind him, she'd quickly reappear in front, gracefully grabbing at his hands, her smile smug. Her legs were positioned like a bow, ready to strike.

It was a clever move: the rabbit rides the eagle.

It was too late, too soon.

Just as Xiao Wu was about to grab Ye Feng's wrist, his eyes sparkled with quickness and a confident grin. Ye Feng had been waiting for this moment.

Thud!

Ye Feng swiftly clasped his hands behind his back, catching Xiao Wu's wrist in the same way she'd tried to catch his. He then sprang forward with a powerful push.

At that exact moment, Xiao Wu found herself positioned in front of Ye Feng.

Bang!

Before Xiao Wu had a chance to react, Ye Feng tackled her to the ground like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

"Aah!" Xiao Wu cried out in pain.

In the next second, her nerves tensed as she realized what had happened.

Due to the inertia from the fall, Ye Feng's head moved—no, not his head—his lips—toward Xiao Wu.

"Oops!" Xiao Wu gasped, realizing with horror:

Her first kiss... might be gone.

Xiao Wu froze, unable to react. Everything had happened so fast that she couldn't stop it.

One second...

Two seconds...

Five seconds...

Xiao Wu stared blankly at Ye Feng, who was so close that she could feel his breath. She sighed in relief. Ye Feng's nose was only two or three centimeters away from her face. Her first kiss was saved!

Ye Feng and Xiao Wu locked eyes, neither one moving.

"You still don't get up?" Xiao Wu glared at Ye Feng, her face flushed in embarrassment. She had never lost so badly.

"Accept!" Ye Feng said with a smirk.

Ye Feng then released Xiao Wu and stood up from her.

Xiao Wu, still embarrassed and rubbing her sore behind, got up from the ground, giving Ye Feng a sad look. Blushing, she asked, "So, according to the rules, do I have to call you 'boss' now?"

Ding Dong!

"Congratulations, you've overturned Douluo's storyline: you defeated Wang Sheng before Tang San and then competed with Xiao Wu to keep the boss position of the work-study dorm. Reward: 3 points."
