Douluo: AFK to Become a God

At this moment, Xiao Wu demonstrated to everyone what it truly meant to "one-hit kill."

With just a simple kick, a hook, and a throw—without even using any soul skills—Xiao Wu swiftly knocked Xiao Chenyu out.

While it was true that Xiao Chenyu had been distracted, speculating about Xiao Wu's identity and background, and had not prepared for battle, the most important factor was Xiao Wu's own strength, which far surpassed her peers. Her battle skills were also not something a one-ring Soul Master could match.

"Boss, are you okay?"

Despite being the son of the City Lord, Xiao Chenyu still had loyal subordinates in the academy, who hurried over with concerned expressions.

As for whether he was okay or not, Xiao Chenyu, who was dazed from the fall, couldn't answer.

"Xiao Wu-chan!" "Xiao Wu-chan!" "Xiao Wu-chan!"

Seeing Xiao Wu decisively take down the academy's boss, Xiao Chenyu, the work-study students cheered excitedly and called out for Xiao Wu.

Unlike Chu Chengzhou, who had to call for his "parent" to intervene, Xiao Wu had defeated the current academy boss with her own strength. With her leading the work-study students, who would dare to be rude to them in the future?

"Haha~, keep it low-key, keep it low-key!"

Amidst the cheers of the work-study students, Xiao Wu placed her hands on her hips, almost laughing herself silly. Even her bunny ears stood up straight.

Though she said to keep it low-key, the scene in front of her made it clear that Xiao Wu was far from a low-key person.

Xiao Chenyu, who was almost concussed from the fall, could certainly attest to this.

"Hey, what's the deal, Xiao Boss? Hurry up!"

After satisfying her vanity, Xiao Wu called out to Xiao Chenyu, who was still lying on the ground.

Immediately, Xiao Chenyu snapped to attention, springing up like a fish flipping over.

Xiao Wu had held back, and since Soul Masters' physical constitution was far superior to ordinary people, though Xiao Chenyu had been knocked dazed, he wasn't seriously hurt.

Xiao Chenyu respectfully said, "Xiao Wu-chan, I admit defeat. From now on, you're the boss of our Notting Academy!"

Xiao Wu-chan was powerful and her background was extraordinary. I, Xiao Chenyu, will be your loyal follower from now on!

"Come over here and pay your respects to Xiao Wu-chan."

With that, Xiao Chenyu gestured for his subordinates to come forward.

As the newly crowned boss of the academy, Xiao Wu looked on with satisfaction as the senior students bowed and paid their respects. She also threw a glance at Chu Chengzhou, silently implying that after dealing with Xiao Chenyu, all the students in the academy would now call her "Xiao Wu-chan," and now she just needed Chu Chengzhou, the "outsider," to join in.

Xiao Wu: That year, I stood with my hands on my hips, unaware of what true rivals were!

"You can forget about it!"

Chu Chengzhou, having understood Xiao Wu's intent, quickly spoke up to dispel any thoughts she might have of pushing her advantage further.

"Hmph~!"

Xiao Wu snorted lightly, her plan thwarted.

But since they had agreed beforehand, Xiao Wu decided to let it slide and spared the little brat.

Before long, the semester had passed, and it was time for the academy's vacation.

Although the official break was tomorrow, students whose homes were nearby could return home after finishing the morning's two classes.

In the dormitory, as Chu Chengzhou packed up his bedding and put his other personal items into his spatial stone, he noticed Xiao Wu, who was usually lively and cheerful, sitting on the bed with a downcast expression, kicking her little feet.

"Xiao Wu, the academy's on vacation. Aren't you packing to go home?"

Chu Chengzhou asked knowingly.

'Home?'

Xiao Wu's eyes showed a hint of loneliness as she slowly shook her head. "I'm not going back. I'll stay at the academy."

"Is there no one at home?"

Xiao Wu nodded.

"Ahem~. Well then, may I have the honor of inviting our Xiao Wu-chan to visit my home?"

Chu Chengzhou cleared his throat and made the invitation.

"Really?"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

"Never mind then!"

Chu Chengzhou rolled his eyes.

"Go, who said I'm not going?"

But she immediately added, "Just so you know, I'm not going to your house because I have nowhere else to go. It's because you invited me."

Xiao Wu stared at him, then hurriedly tried to argue her case.

"Yes, yes, I invited you, not because you have nowhere else to go," Chu Chengzhou said with a smile.

It didn't surprise Chu Chengzhou that Xiao Wu accepted his invitation.

After a semester of getting along, even though they weren't in the same class, their relationship was still very good.

There was no helping it. The silly little bunny didn't realize that, with her one-ring Soul Master level, she only needed to register her information at the Spirit Hall, and she would receive a monthly stipend of a gold soul coin for low-level Soul Masters.

As for Xiao Wu, who was always spending money recklessly on food and fun things during shopping, the meager salary of a work-study student was far from enough to cover her expenses.

Luckily, she had a friend in the dorm who wasn't lacking in money, so the concept of borrowing money had taken root in Xiao Wu's mind.

By the end of the semester, Xiao Wu owed Chu Chengzhou a whopping six gold soul coins.

They say that talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money.

But if you don't care about money, naturally, your fondness for the other person will grow rapidly.

"I think you're asking for a beating!"

Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed and angry, raising her fist.

"Quickly pack up your bedding, or we'll miss lunch!"

Not long after, two small figures, each carrying a large bundle, walked out of Notting Academy.

On the way home, Chu Chengzhou opened his attribute panel.

[Attribute Panel]

[Host: Chu Chengzhou]

[Soul Power: Level 6 Soul Master]

[Martial Soul: Elemental Spirit Flag]

[Skills: Meditation (Purple), Body Refining (Yellow), Spirit Refining (Yellow)]

Chu Chengzhou considered himself a late-bloomer, and that wasn't just a baseless claim.

Another year had passed, and compared to the first year of martial soul awakening, his strength had greatly improved.

In the first year of martial soul awakening, he had gone from half a level of innate soul power to barely reaching Level 3 Soul Master, a two-and-a-half-level increase in soul power.

By the second year, he had progressed from a newly initiated Level 3 Soul Master to Level 6 Soul Master, and his soul power accumulation for this level was already halfway done, with a three-and-a-half-level increase.

It was important to note that as soul power levels increased, the amount of accumulation required also grew. Even within the same major level, the difficulty of improvement was still substantial.

The higher the soul power level, the harder it was to improve, but the rate of improvement had increased, which showed that he was indeed a late-bloomer. This was mainly because, in the first year of martial soul awakening, his martial soul was of average quality, and his meditation skill wasn't even at the yellow level.

In the second year of martial soul awakening, he had been able to enjoy the benefits of a high-quality martial soul and yellow-level meditation skills.
