Chapter 317 Breathtaking Talent
Zhang Lexuan and Bei Bei returned to the center of the two sides.
Zhang Lexuan said, "Alright, the third round, Love at First Sight, begins. Boys, you'd better perform well. This is your best chance to win the attention of the Sea Goddesses, so don't miss it."
"The student who drew number one, please come forward. Remember, your performance will take place on this lake between the two sides. As with the previous rules, falling into the water means failure."
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Chen Zifeng agreed, wasting no time, leaping up and instantly appearing on the water's surface.
"Greetings, Sea Goddesses. I am Chen Zifeng, one of the previous generation of Shrek Seven Devils." He announced his name while still in the air.
The Soul-Chasing Sword was drawn, two yellow, two purple, and two black spirit rings shining simultaneously, a soaring killing intent spreading in all directions.
"I'm twenty-three years old, my martial soul is the Soul-Chasing Sword, I'm a powerful attack-type Battle Soul Emperor, and my soul power is level sixty-five. While I'm not the most outstanding in the inner courtyard, I'm certainly not mediocre. I believe my identity as a former Shrek Seven Devils speaks for itself. In my younger days, I was obsessed with cultivation and never paid attention to anyone around me. But today, I'm here for only one person. I'm nervous, but I know that if I don't say it, I'll never forgive myself. Xixi! I like you. I know you feel the same way about me, let's be together!"
The entire hall fell silent. No one expected the first hero to introduce himself to directly express his feelings to a girl.
Xixi, standing on the other side, blushed instantly. She had been nervous when Chen Zifeng said he was here for one person. But now, the nervousness had vanished, and she, who had previously been inconspicuous, had become the center of attention. This made Xixi, who had always tried to keep a low profile, feel very uncomfortable.
Bewildered, Xixi nodded slightly under everyone's gaze.
"Ahem, one minute is up," Bei Bei reminded the two from a distance.
Chen Zifeng nodded slightly, smiled brightly, wrote down the number he liked, and then backed away in the direction he had come from.
"Next, Wu Xuan! Junior, it's your turn!" Zhang Lexuan smiled gently at Wu Xuan.
"Okay! Senior Sister!" Wu Xuan replied calmly, then his entire body soared into the air and floated forward.
The moment Wu Xuan stopped, black, black, black, black, black, red! Seven spirit rings reappeared beneath his feet. Just as everyone thought Wu Xuan was about to introduce himself, a deep gunshot rang out, followed by four eerie and terrifying spirit rings—red, red, red, silver!
Eleven spirit rings now surrounded Wu Xuan's body. His aura reached its peak at this moment, and even Zhang Lexuan involuntarily took a few steps back, subconsciously releasing her spirit power to resist this terrifying aura.
"My name is Wu Xuan, I'm seventeen years old. I'm a power attack, control, and agility attack type spirit master, a level eighty quasi-Spirit Douluo."
Wu Xuan's words were completely factual, without any boasting. In fact, he could also provide support, but Wu Xuan felt that this was insignificant and didn't bother to mention it.
The female students' beautiful eyes widened in surprise. Their earlier mutual admiration had been replaced by the terrifying seven spirit rings of Wu Xuan, revealing him to be a Soul Saint. However, a level 79 Soul Saint and a level 80 Quasi-Soul Douluo were two completely different concepts.
One was merely a Soul Saint, the other a Soul Douluo without an eighth ring!
Reaching level 60 Soul Emperor before the age of twenty was a threshold; such geniuses were almost guaranteed to become Title Douluos in the future, with a high probability of even breaking through to Super Douluo. Wu Xuan, a seventeen-year-old Soul Douluo, was almost certain to reach his limit, making him arguably the strongest person on the continent for the next three to four hundred years.
Moreover, Wu Xuan possessed twin martial souls. What twin martial souls meant was perfectly clear to the female students, who were also inner court disciples. A Soul Master with twin martial souls, once they cultivated to the Title Douluo level and completed the second martial soul's spirit rings, would have no low points and could reach the unimaginable Super Douluo level, or even higher, in a very short time.
Those so-called youthful arrogance are merely a matter of your abilities not yet reaching the level of a true genius. Once a person's talent and strength reach a certain level of astonishment, they will no longer have any doubts.
And Wu Xuan was in such a situation at this moment.
Among Soul Masters, the strong always reign supreme, and female Soul Masters, when choosing a partner, value talent and strength most. The attraction of Wu Xuan's displayed strength to them is self-evident.
Wu Xuan didn't look at any other girls; he simply watched the stunned Ye Guyi and the starry-eyed Xiao Xiao.
A minute passed, and Wu Xuan calmly withdrew his Soul Rings, wrote down a number, and turned to leave. It was only at this moment that all the students in the audience came back to their senses.
Although there were no noisy discussions, Wu Xuan undoubtedly increased the difficulty for the students who followed. The second-sight romance segment continued. In any case, this was the last chance for the male students to showcase themselves. They had to seize it.
It wasn't until Qian Guming appeared that the increased difficulty subsided.
Not long after, it was Chu Qingtian's turn to appear.
With a flash of lightning, a figure appeared on the water's surface.
"My name is Chu Qingtian, I'm twenty-seven years old, my martial soul is the Electric Leopard, a Saint-level agility-type battle soul, and my soul power is level seventy-one. In terms of speed, I consider myself second only to Junior Brother Wu Xuan among the inner court students. Of course, Junior Brother Wu's freakish speed is beyond the reach of a mortal like me." Chu Qingtian even laughed at the end.
Chu Qingtian glanced deeply at the seemingly carefree Wu Ming, and said slowly, "Today, Junior Brother Chen Zifeng and I have the same purpose in coming here—for the girl in our hearts. Although outsiders might think I'm crazy, love makes people blind. If we can be together, I will dedicate my life to you, and we will be together forever."
As Chu Qingtian spoke, a flash of lightning appeared before Zhang Lexuan. He quickly wrote down his beloved's number on the paper in her hand. Then, he leaped up and returned to the lotus leaf where he was standing.
Throughout the entire process, Chu Qingtian displayed his speed and control perfectly. His movements were as fluid as flowing water, without the slightest hesitation. He returned to the lotus leaf he had been on, exactly one minute later.
At first, Wu Ming was stunned. Was Chu Qingtian confessing his feelings to her? Then, she came to her senses and was overjoyed. She had always had an inexplicable feeling for Chu Qingtian, but had hesitated to express it because of her reputation.
"Since that's the case, let's give it a try! That guy is worthy of me!" Wu Ming thought.
Huo Yuhao, who appeared later, also displayed extraordinary talent as a twin martial soul and a level five soul master, but he paled in comparison to Wu Xuan's earlier performance.
After the third round, Zhang Lexuan addressed the crowd, saying, "Next, we'll begin the fourth round, 'Three Lifetimes of Fate.' In this round, the female students will take turns introducing themselves, choosing their favorite male student, and going to his side. The male students should then stand apart, as some may be more charming and attract more than one female student. By the end of this round, if a male student hasn't been chosen by any female student, then unfortunately, he/she will be leaving this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event. The remaining students will proceed to the final round."
Undoubtedly, in this fourth round, more male students will be eliminated. Even if the female students ultimately choose one-on-one, two male students will still be eliminated.
However, this scenario is far too idealistic; in reality, it's not uncommon for multiple female students to choose the same outstanding male student.
"Let's begin. One thing for the girls still wearing straw hats to note: When you introduce yourself later, you can choose to remove your hats and reveal your faces. If you don't reveal yourself or give any hints during this part, then in the final round, unless the boys have already chosen you, you cannot remove your hats until the end of the event. Now, female student number one, please introduce yourself and make your selection."
