Douluo Continent: On Becoming a God Through Science

Chapter 43 is titled "Wandering Star".

"New here?"

Inside the sixth dormitory, a handsome young boy had just walked in, found an empty bed and put down his luggage when a voice rang in his ear.

Looking up, I saw dozens of curious eyes fixed on me from inside a dormitory.

The owner of the voice, a boy who looked more than a year or two older than the average first-year student in the dormitory, stood in front of the boy.

His height, towering above that of ordinary people, made him seem like a mountain, bringing a considerable sense of pressure to his peers.

Fortunately, the boy was not short, so he did not feel the pressure of the height.

He nodded, his expression unchanged, and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, my name is Youxing."

The tall young man snorted out two puffs of air from his nose and replied, "My name is Mu Feng, and my martial spirit is the Great Water Buffalo."

Mu Feng...

This elegant and graceful name perfectly complements his robust physique.

The young Yusei couldn't help but let his lips twitch subtly.

However, out of politeness, Yusei did not complain about it.

He simply nodded and was about to continue making the bed when Mu Feng thrust his thick arm in front of him.

Yu Xing looked up in confusion, only to see Mu Feng exhale through his nose again, saying in a muffled voice, "Wrong, kid! The person you should greet first isn't me, but—our Little Wu!"

Mu Feng turned his head sharply, his previously cold and imposing face replaced by a fawning smile. He looked at the girl with the scorpion-tail whip sitting in the center of the room on a "throne" made of stacked tables, receiving fruits from the other children. She gave off an impression of being exceptionally beautiful and intelligent.

"Well."

Yusei looked on in astonishment at the scene.

Seeing You Chen's appearance, Mu Feng and several other students in the same dormitory secretly shook their heads.

Sigh, they were just as clueless as Xiao Wu before they experienced her ruthlessness!

"Hey, you brat over there."

Xiao Wu seemed to only then notice Yu Xing's presence, and suddenly jumped down from the "throne" that was stacked two meters high.

She licked the crumbs of snacks off her fingers, looked at You Chen with interest, and grinned, "Where are you from? Do you have any local specialties at home? Show them to me, Xiao Wu, so I can see your local customs and we can get to know each other better!"

He really has the demeanor of a mountain tyrant and a petty bandit.

And isn't this scene just like the one in the storybooks where people pay homage to a mountain stronghold?

Those underlings who were recruited by Xiao Wu might have been unwilling at first, but after immersing themselves in the role-playing game initiated by Xiao Wu, they inexplicably became somewhat immersed in it.

At this moment, the gaze directed at Xiao Wu truly carried a hint of reverence.

Yusei seemed unaware of the sudden change in the atmosphere inside the room, and replied, "I came here only to cultivate and learn knowledge, and I didn't bring any local specialties."

After saying that, as if he really thought Xiao Wu was just asking casually, he spread out the mattress on the wooden bed.

Xiao Wu stared at You Xing's blank expression and widened her eyes slightly.

Mu Feng, the number one henchman, naturally deduced the "sacred intention" from Xiao Wu's expression immediately and reached for You Xing's shoulder without saying a word.

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

Before Mu Feng's fan-like hand could land, You Xing grabbed his wrist without even turning his head.

"Ouch—it hurts!!!"

Mu Feng felt the force in his wrist and suddenly screamed in agony.

"what?"

Yu Xing belatedly released his grip, turned around, and looked at Mu Feng, who was kneeling on the ground rubbing his wrist, with some confusion. He said, "Sorry, I didn't notice it was you..."

At this, many people's expressions changed.

Children are mischievous and innocent, but in this savage environment, they naturally come to understand the law of the jungle.

The move that Yu Xing revealed made them realize that this kid was not to be trifled with.

Seeing her younger brother get humiliated, how could Xiao Wu, as the eldest sister, bear it?

He immediately roared, "You actually hurt my Big Black?!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Feng looked up with a blank expression: "Big Black?"

I felt inexplicably offended.

At this moment, Xiao Wu rushed out, her soft thighs kicking You Chen like whips.

"I'll teach you a lesson!"

However, that pink and white thigh was grabbed by one hand in mid-air.

But then a grown man appeared there at some point, holding Xiao Wu upside down with one hand.

A glint of light, like a special effect reserved for behind-the-scenes manipulators, flashed on his black-rimmed glasses, followed by a half-smile as he asked, "Xiao Wu, who did you say you were going to teach a lesson to?"

Xiao Wu reflexively tried to break free but failed. She stared at the man in astonishment: "You, you're an old man!?"

and many more……

"That kid just said his name is Yusei..."

Xiao Wu's eyes darted around, then widened even more: "There's nothing going on between them, is there?!"

Oh no, this is a real case of a fake relative meeting a real one. The person I'm supposed to be backing is now turning around and trying to crush me!

Seeing Xiao Wu sweating, You Chen smiled slightly and with a skillful movement of his hand, made her stand at attention again in front of him.

"Haha, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, uncle! It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple, family members don't recognize each other!"

Xiao Wu chuckled, "Did you bring this little brother Youxing to school? How come you've never mentioned this before?"

Even though Yusei looked a bit older than Mai, she didn't seem embarrassed at all calling him "little brother." And Yusei himself didn't seem to mind.

You Chen, however, remained calm and composed, saying, "Oh? Haven't you heard? I finished the paperwork for you, and before I could even mention it, you just dashed out like a shot, didn't you?"

"Uh-huh."

Sensing the hint of resentment hidden in You Chen's calm tone, Xiao Wu, knowing she was in the wrong, was immediately speechless.

She has a grudge against the Spirit Hall and that Pope, but doesn't You Chen know that?

Seeing Xiao Wu speechless for once, You Chen burst into laughter, taking the opportunity to ruffle her rabbit head: "Alright, I was just kidding. I know you're playful by nature; if I hadn't told you beforehand, you might have gotten into some kind of conflict with You Xing, so I came over specifically. By the way, this little guy is my new disciple. He's rather dull and only knows how to cultivate, so don't bully him for no reason!"

"H-How could this be!"

Xiao Wu immediately patted her non-existent chest and grinned as she made a promise. Looking at You Xing, who had remained silent the entire time, she said, "Junior Brother, let's get along well from now on, okay?"

Yuxing then spoke up: "Our teacher never said you were his disciple, so don't call me junior brother. Also, I should be older than you."

"Uh-huh."

This remark made Xiao Wu cough, and she immediately glared at You Chen, her eyes seeming to say: "Isn't my character supposed to be your niece?! Didn't you tell him that?!"

You Chen pretended not to see it, waved his hand and said, "Alright, I have things to do. Goodbye, you two."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Xiao Wu reached out Er Kang's hand, but You Chen was so fast that he disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes, then turned her head to find You Xing already making the bed.

A hint of suspicion flashed in Xiao Wu's eyes: 'A disciple? Could he be some kind of illegitimate child?'
