Xiao Wu placed her school uniform aside, her entire being entering a combat-ready stance.
"By the way, my Martial Soul is a Rabbit, the really cute kind of little white rabbit. What about yours?"
Before the spar began, a simple round of introductions.
"My Martial Soul is an Intelligent Chip, a mutated Martial Soul!"
Shane held out his right hand, and a chip, flickering with arcs of electricity and virtual projections, materialized within it.
"Interesting name, strange Martial Soul. The human world really is fun!"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up at the sight. After muttering this to herself, she took the initiative with a surprise attack!
Her slender right leg sprang forward, toes pointed straight, kicking towards Shane's chin!
The force wasn't great, but the speed was extremely fast. Had it been Wang Sheng, he would have been hit by now, but Shane had long been wary of the cunning little rabbit.
With a quick sidestep, he precisely dodged the kick while simultaneously grabbing the girl's delicate foot, locking it firmly!
"Classmate Xiao Wu, surprise attacks aren't a good habit, you know~"
Shane glanced at the slender foot in his hand and smirked.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to react so quickly! In that case, I won't be polite anymore!"
Her surprise attack having failed, Xiao Wu was starting to get flustered and exasperated.
A layer of pink light glowed, and a pair of pinkish-white rabbit ears sprouted on the little loli's head, while a fluffy short tail popped out from her rear.
After activating her Martial Soul's power, Xiao Wu's flexibility increased dramatically, and her delicate little foot also managed to escape Shane's clutches.
Next up was the Soft Bone Rabbit's performance time!
Xiao Wu didn't retract her freed right leg; instead, she hooked it onto Shane's shoulder. Using that as leverage, she lifted her left foot, successfully climbing onto the boy's other shoulder.
From Tang San and the others' perspective, Xiao Wu's two legs were now completely wrapped around Shane's neck, clamped incredibly tight!
Unfortunately, Xiao Wu was wearing pants. If she had been wearing a skirt, Shane's attention might have been even more… distracted.
Despite this, the unique smoothness of a girl's skin still emanated from her fair legs, and for a moment, Shane's reaction was half a beat too slow.
By the time Xiao Wu used Shane's shoulder to push forward, lean her upper body back, and support herself with her hands on the ground, was it already too late to counterattack?
Just as everyone thought Shane was about to crash and burn, Xiao Wu, in the midst of her maneuver, heard a faint voice.
"Wind Wolf Mecha, combine!"
The next moment, in an instant, data materialized. Fluorescent green armor paired with silver-black components enveloped Shane completely!
[Wind Wolf Mecha, equipping complete!]
(Wind Wolf Mecha – Combat Mode)
The sudden increase in weight caught Xiao Wu completely off guard. Helpless, she could only change her push to a kick, taking the opportunity to disengage.
Shane, however, executed a perfect backflip and landed smoothly, the two once again facing each other!
"You-you're cheating! What is that thing you're wearing?"
Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, huffing angrily at Shane.
"Hahaha, am I only allowed to let you use your Martial Soul's power?"
Shane couldn't help but laugh.
Little did they know, the Wind Wolf Mecha, with its sharp angles, gleaming surfaces, and perfectly integrated form… had already conquered everyone in Dorm Seven!
"Holy smokes, that's awesome!"
"Boss, your armor is way too cool!"
Wang Sheng and the others stared as Shane transformed into a mecha warrior, their eyes practically sparkling with envy. Even Tang San couldn't tear his gaze away.
Indeed, mecha truly are a man's romance!
Gazing at the aggressive mecha before her, which looked like a beast about to awaken at any moment, Xiao Wu's heart began to pound with a little fear.
The Wind Wolf was a wolf; the Soft Bone Rabbit was a rabbit.
And wolves eat rabbits… it was the natural order of things, an innate suppression!
"Little white rabbit, the big bad wolf is coming for you~!"
Shane emitted a low, mechanical growl, then vanished from his spot as a blur of motion!
The others couldn't follow Shane's speed with their naked eyes. Even the little runt Tang San, relying on his Purple Demon Eye, could only barely make out his movements.
Fortunately, Xiao Wu was, after all, a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. At the critical moment, she executed an impromptu backbend, narrowly dodging the attack.
"Not bad, Classmate Xiao Wu! Again!"
Shane was completely using Xiao Wu as a sparring partner. After all, finding an opponent with such quick reflexes among his peers was almost impossible.
Soon, only a green afterimage could be seen darting back and forth in the area, while Xiao Wu desperately dodged and weaved through the gaps, trying to survive.
The sharp claws that seemed about to graze the girl each time somehow always missed by a hair's breadth!
Once might be a coincidence, but if it happened repeatedly, anyone could see that Shane was going easy on her…
Three minutes passed. With Shane's current spirit power, the time he could operate the mecha was more than halfway through, so it was time to end this game.
With a whoosh, Shane burst forward with his fastest speed yet!
Xiao Wu was just about to bend over and stick her rear out, planning to use the same trick again, but she suddenly felt an icy sensation on her little bottom!
Shane opened his arms and executed an "Embrace of Domination," holding Xiao Wu tightly in his arms, pressing against her from behind, closing in relentlessly!
"Hahaha, little white rabbit, you've been caught by the big bad wolf~"
Shane whispered laughingly in her ear, but what happened next caught everyone completely by surprise!
"Waaahhh!!!"
"Shane, you big jerk! You bully people, and you bully little rabbits! You're not honest at all!"
Xiao Wu wailed, pounding on Shane's mecha, crying her heart out…
For little boys, a girl crying was just about the most troublesome thing ever!
Everyone else in the room simultaneously took a step back, afraid of getting involved.
Shane was also quite helpless now. The little loli in his arms was crying so hard her eyes were red, looking utterly pitiful.
"Alright, alright, Xiao Wu."
"Bunnies are so cute, how can they cry?"
Shane retracted his mecha and even resorted to a tone used for coaxing children. Only then did Xiao Wu quiet down a little.
However, she still glared at Shane with puffed cheeks, clearly still angry.
Xiao Wu, at her core, was still a little rabbit. When Shane put on the Wind Wolf Mecha and began to "hunt" her, it felt as if she were back in the forest, with a real beast chasing her. Her nerves had been stretched taut the entire time.
The moment she was suddenly caught, that taut string snapped, and her emotions naturally collapsed…
The spar was over; the outcome no longer mattered.
Shane only saw his roommates giving him thumbs-ups one after another. For a moment, he didn't know if they were praising his overwhelming strength or "praising" him for making a girl cry.
Having been tormented by a certain bad boy for so long, coupled with crying her eyes out just now, Xiao Wu sat on the ground, completely drained of strength.
Seeing this, Shane reached under the little loli's armpits, gently scooped up her small body, and carried her to his own bed.
"Alright, you can sit here and rest for a bit."
"Shane, my bed isn't made yet."
Just as he put Xiao Wu down, she came out with this.
"Oh, no problem. The bed's right here; it's not going anywhere."
Shane knew exactly what she meant but deliberately played dumb.
"No! You have to take responsibility! During our spar just now, you hit my butt so hard it's swollen! It hurts even when I sit!"
Xiao Wu lifted her head, glaring at Shane with shame and indignation, her words shocking.
This statement, once again, caused a stir among the roommates!
His little actions exposed, Shane could only offer an awkward yet polite smile.
"Little San, help bring her luggage in. Let's get her settled!"
Tang San, being called upon, wasn't annoyed. He had nothing better to do anyway, and besides, it was Shane's request.
"Okay, Brother Shane!"
