In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Appears in Chapter 291

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

A calm and resolute voice rang out, and all the students in the grove turned to look at the hillside.

There stood a tall, upright boy wearing the uniform of the Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. Although his face still held some childishness, he already looked quite mature. He appeared to be at least half a head taller than Xiao Wu, and was quite handsome, with a hint of determination and courage in his eyes.

What's most eye-catching is his unusual red, choppy hair, as vivid as blood. From a distance, his hair flutters in the wind, easily making people wonder if there's a cluster of fiery flames dancing on his head.

"Boss Xiao, you're here!"

Upon seeing the young man appear, the leader of the senior students couldn't help but shout with surprise.

"Boss Xiao!"

"Boss Xiao, it really is him!"

"Hiss, he seems to have gotten stronger again..."

Following closely behind, the other senior students also started to make a fuss, discussing the fiery red-haired boy, "Boss Xiao," with their faces all showing awe and respect.

"You're Boss Xiao?"

At this moment, Xiao Wu also slightly raised her head and looked at the red-haired boy who was obviously tall and muscular, with a strong sense of power, but did not appear bloated or fat.

"it's me."

Mr. Xiao also turned his gaze to Xiao Wu, the leader of the work-study group, and nodded.

"I never expected to see a freshman like you in my last year at Notting College. You are truly gifted."

"But... why do you have such an unusual scent on you? Hmm, that's strange."

He tilted his head and looked at Xiao Wu, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a tightness in her heart. She looked at Boss Xiao and wondered if he had seen through her identity as a soul beast in human form.

Wait a minute, how old is he? That's impossible...

Xiao Wu quickly stopped thinking about it, assuming that Boss Xiao was talking nonsense or something else, and that he had accidentally stumbled upon something.

"Why waste time talking so much nonsense?"

Xiao Wu then continued.

"You want me to be your pet rabbit, or even all of us work-study students to become your pets? You'd better see if you have the ability to do so."

"this……"

Upon hearing Xiao Wu mention this, Boss Xiao couldn't help but give a wry smile.

This bet wasn't actually proposed by him, but rather by the idea of ​​the senior student who had come to him not long ago. He couldn't be bothered with a bunch of admirers, let alone pets; otherwise, he wouldn't need to keep a low profile in his daily life.

With his talent, strength, and background, he could easily gain popularity in this small Notting Academy as long as he showed the slightest interest. Even the mentors and school leaders would treat him with great respect.

However, compared to these things, he was more focused on improving his own strength.

As if recalling something, a hint of dazedness flashed deep in his eyes.

Five years ago, he had no bright future, and his prospects could even be described as bleak. He also indulged in a period of extravagance and debauchery.

However, the sudden change two years ago rekindled his desire to improve his strength. He wouldn't give up easily; he would strive to learn from... that enigmatic senior from his memories. He would learn his unwavering determination, his passionate spirit, and his determination to fight to the top!

Boss Xiao slowly composed himself.

"To be honest, I might as well give you some pointers, but you don't need to worry about the details of the bet."

"You're scared? If you're scared, then you might as well just become my little brother, Xiao Wu, and save yourself a beating later!"

Hearing Boss Xiao's outrageous remarks, Xiao Wu naturally assumed that he was afraid, so she smiled arrogantly.

Faced with this, Boss Xiao could only shake his head helplessly, wondering if it was because he hadn't made a move in a long time that his reputation in the academy had faded... His gaze gradually became more serious, and with a few leaps, he flew from the small hillside to the grove, stood in front of a group of senior students, and looked at Xiao Wu from afar, his gaze resolute yet subtly revealing a hint of sharpness.

So fast!

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao, who was next to Xiao Wu, couldn't help but shrink his pupils. He could easily tell that this Boss Xiao seemed to have used some kind of unique movement technique similar to Ghost Shadow Tracking, which allowed him to unleash extremely fast speed in an instant.

Who exactly is he...?

At this moment, Boss Xiao stepped forward slightly and said in a nonchalant manner, "With my strength, it would be too unfair for me to fight you. So, you can think about whether you want to swarm me or take turns fighting me."

"Don't worry, no matter what, our senior student team will only send me. That means if you can defeat me, no matter what form it takes, all the students of Notting Academy will respect you as Boss or Sister Xiaowu from now on."

"...Brother Xiao is awesome!"

After he said this, another chorus of praise for him immediately rose up behind Boss Xiao, and no one objected.

The reason is obvious: they have great confidence in Boss Xiao.

"Hmph, what a boastful tone!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu looked at Boss Xiao, who stood alone with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of superiority, and became somewhat annoyed. She was about to step forward and challenge him to a duel when Wang Sheng suddenly stepped forward from behind her.

"Sister Xiaowu, let me go first. I'll test his strength for you guys."

Xiao Wu glanced at Wang Sheng, then suddenly saw Huo Yuhao tug at her and nod at her, so she ultimately didn't stop Wang Sheng.

The next moment, Wang Sheng and Boss Xiao entered the venue.

"I remember, your name is Wang Sheng, right?"

Looking at Wang Sheng slowly walking towards him, Boss Xiao casually remarked.

"it's me."

Wang Sheng nodded.

"Senior, I don't think I can beat you, but I'll do my best!"

"Okay, let's go then."

Boss Xiao remained calm and composed.

Seeing this, Wang Sheng clenched his fists. Without thinking any further, he immediately performed the Martial Soul Possession. Soon, tiger claws, tiger tails, and other features appeared on his body, which were the symbols of his Martial Soul War Tiger Possession.

"roar!"

With a roar, Wang Sheng pounced on Boss Xiao with the ferocity of a tiger leaping through the mountains. As he was about to get close, a hint of ferocity and excitement flashed in his tiger eyes.

Boss Xiao, you were too careless!

Wang Sheng raised one tiger paw high, about to land on Boss Xiao, when just then, a hand reached out to meet it.

Boss Xiao moved. He didn't summon his martial soul or perform any martial soul possession, nor did he use any soul skills. He simply relied on his ordinary, somewhat rough hands, which appeared rough for his young age, to directly block Wang Sheng's attack!
