Douluo Continent, my martial soul is a mushroom.

Chapter 7 The New Leader of Dormitory 7

"Boss, we'll miss you!"

"Boss, please don't go!"

"Boss!"

At the entrance of Notting College, the seven work-study students, excluding Wang Sheng and Chi Ping, clung to Wang Wen, crying their hearts out.

"You guys... you're exaggerating..."

Looking at the people from Dormitory 7 who had come to see him off, Wang Wen felt both touched and troubled. He was being dragged along by this group, unable to even move.

With the end of this academic year, Wang Wen has graduated from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy and is now moving out of Dormitory 7. He will be attending Kelin City Intermediate Soul Master Academy for the new semester.

"Xiaopingzi and Xiaosheng, aren't you going to do something about these guys?!"

Wang Wen shouted to Wang Sheng and Chi Ping, who were watching the commotion from the sidelines.

Besides him, Wang Sheng and Chi Ping, who came from behind, had the highest reputation and the most influence among the work-study students.

"Alright, alright, the boss graduated, not died. This is a happy occasion for the boss. What are you all doing!" Chi Ping advised kindly.

"What are your tears! Cowardice!" Wang Sheng punched each of them, then pulled all the work-study students clinging to Wang Wen down.

Wang Wen breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that the burden was lifted.

"From now on, everyone is in your hands."

Wang Wen's gaze swept over all the work-study students, finally settling on Chi Ping and Wang Sheng, or more precisely, on Chi Ping.

Chi Ping nodded. "Don't worry, boss, I'll take good care of everyone."

Wang Wen sighed with emotion and couldn't help but say, "I never imagined that the little guy who slid to his knees when we first met would become a man who can protect everyone in just one year."

Chi Ping nodded, a hint of joy in his heart.

After developing the mycelium, Chi Ping's cultivation speed increased dramatically, advancing two levels in just six months, and he has now reached level 8 in soul power. Simultaneously, relying on the soul power replenishment provided by the mycelium, Chi Ping also developed a method to enhance his physical attributes with soul power. Of course, this method is absolutely no match for the boost from beast spirit possession.

If the physical enhancement granted to a Beast Soul Master by Martial Soul Possession is tenfold, then Chi Ping's enhancement after consuming Soul Power is only one. However, within the area covered by the mycelium, Chi Ping can maintain the Soul Power enhancement for a longer period of time.

Chi Ping has never slacked off in physical training, and without using any amplification abilities, his physical fitness is already comparable to Wang Sheng's.

Chi Ping and Wang Sheng had a duel in front of all the work-study students in Dormitory 7.

When Wang Sheng uses his Martial Soul Possession, he can suppress Chi Ping in terms of strength, but Chi Ping can entangle with Wang Sheng with his skillful Enemy Capture Fist. As long as he can stall for the duration of the Martial Soul Possession, Chi Ping can turn the tide.

Chi Ping is now the strongest among the work-study students, and the new leader of Dormitory 7.

The former boss, Wang Wen, looked at Wang Sheng again, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Wang Sheng's innate soul power was level 3, and it increased by almost one level every year after entering school. His current soul power level is level 7, which is one level lower than Chi Ping's.

Being surpassed within a year, especially by a food-type Soul Master, was a significant blow to Wang Sheng.

"Don't be discouraged, Xiao Sheng. Just keep cultivating and you'll definitely become a Soul Master before graduation," Wang Wen could only offer this consolation.

Wang Sheng rolled his eyes. "What are you thinking, boss? Of course I'll become a Soul Master. Besides, what do I have to be discouraged about?"

Wang Wen was somewhat puzzled.

I wanted to say something, but I gave up.

"That's good."

Wang Sheng waved his hand, "Boss, rest in peace on your journey. We'll live well."

"What do you mean by 'on the road'? I'm graduating, not dead!" Wang Wen complained.

Almost, almost.

"What do you mean 'almost'? They're way too different!"

The witty banter diluted the sadness of parting, and everyone seemed to forget their grief, happily seeing Wang Wen off.

After Wang Wen left, everyone returned to Dormitory 7.

The work-study students had long been prepared for Wang Wen's departure; they had just momentarily lost their composure but had now recovered.

In just half a month, it will be time for vacation. Everyone has been discussing what they will do when they get home. They will tell their parents about their progress, brag to their friends in the village about what they have seen and heard at the academy, and boast about having recognized a Soul Master as their leader.

However, there are always people who don't understand the atmosphere and disturb the mood when people are happy.

"Kids, this time no one's protecting you."

A tall, handsome boy with a face full of contempt and disdain led more than twenty senior students to block the only way for the work-study students to return to Dormitory 7.

"Xiao Chenyu, you didn't dare utter a sound when Boss Wang was around, but now that Boss Wang has just graduated, you can't wait to jump out. Your nose is sharper than a dog's!"

Chi Ping stood in front of the work-study students, confronting Xiao Chenyu.

Xiao Chenyu, in the same grade as Wang Sheng, is the son of the city lord of Notting City. His martial soul is a wolf, and his soul power is level 8. The students call him Boss Xiao.

Xiao Chenyu looked down on the work-study students, believing they were wasting the academy's resources. He once publicly stated that he would kick all the work-study students out of Notting Academy, and his underlings frequently harassed them.

Wei Dapeng is one of Xiao Chenyu's underlings.

Before Wang Wen became a Soul Master, perhaps out of pride, Xiao Chenyu had never personally dealt with the work-study students. But after Wang Wen became a Soul Master and learned of Chi Ping's progress in Soul Power cultivation, Xiao Chenyu became envious.

"A poor wretch should act like a poor wretch. He got lucky and became a Soul Master, but now he doesn't know who he is! He even dares to talk back to me," Xiao Chenyu said disdainfully.

Chi Ping straightened his back and looked directly into Xiao Chenyu's eyes. "If you really looked down on people, would you have personally led the attack? You just feel ashamed that we work-study students all became Soul Masters while you, the city lord's child, haven't. You're unwilling to admit it, so you just want to bully the weak. Brother Sheng, what do we say about this kind of person again?"

Wang Sheng grinned and uttered two words, one after another.

"coward!"

After Chi Ping said those words, Xiao Chenyu's face turned completely dark, and Wang Sheng's two provocative words made him even angrier.

"Those filthy bastards, no need for the boss to lift a finger, let's go and cripple them!"

A senior student who looked thin and was about the same size as Chi Ping suddenly shouted. Then, his martial spirit activated, and he leaped into the air, nimbly flipping over, spreading his arms, gliding two meters, and pouncing towards Chi Ping's head.

Chi Ping was already prepared, his eyes instantly locking onto the student who was rushing towards him.

—Beast Martial Soul, Agile Form.

The soul power amplified, and a bright white soul power radiance surged outside the body.

Black Dragon's Eighteen Hands - The Python Turns Over.

As you step forward with your right foot into a horse stance, turn your body to the left, bend your right elbow and swing your left foot back to the left, then bend over and thrust your hips forward, pulling your hands forcefully to the left and back, looking to the left and back.

Facing the oncoming student, Chi Ping reacted instantly. He grabbed the student's right arm, turned around and elbowed the student in the chest with his left elbow, and finally finished with a back throw to subdue the student.

Feeling tightness in his chest and pain in his back, Ling Feng was subdued in an instant.

To prevent Ling Feng from getting up and threatening the work-study student, Chi Ping punched him twice more in the nerve-concentrated area below his ribs, causing him to vomit acid and become unable to get up again.
