Douluo Continent: Becoming a disciple of Jing Liu, illuminating all the gods

Chapter 80 Another Day of Successful Water Margin

"Get out!" the female student shouted angrily, forcefully pulling back her right foot. Xu Sanshi's tightly gripped hand suddenly loosened. The female student dodged backward and immediately lost her balance.

But she was also quite remarkable. Her other foot seemed to be stuck to the water lily leaf. She flexibly flipped over, and her hands pressed down on the leaf, performing a backflip on the spot.

Keep in mind, there's water beneath these water lilies. And Xu Sanshi is standing on top of them. A move that's not difficult on land requires exceptional control to execute on water!

She flipped over, but her hat naturally fell off as well. Xu Sanshi flashed up from the water lily leaf, dodging the female student's subsequent scissor kick. His right hand had somehow grabbed the veil, and with a forceful pull, he ripped the veil and hat together.

With his feet landing on the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield that was already waiting on the water's surface, Xu Sanshi smiled as he looked at the girl who had stood up again opposite him and said, "Of all the waters in the world, I only drink from one. Nannan, I love you." As he spoke, the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield beneath his feet instantly broke through the water's surface, carrying him back to his original position.

Yes, the person standing third from the right is Jiang Nannan.

Her long purple hair cascaded over her shoulders, and a blush of annoyance lingered on her pretty face. More than two years had passed, and Jiang Nannan was even more beautiful than before. Her exquisite face was further enhanced by the pale golden light emanating from the water lilies at her feet. Her slender, almost perfect figure, and her large eyes, filled with resentment, glared fiercely at Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi knew her very well. Although there was a slight difference in their cultivation levels, it was definitely not that big.

This was, after all, the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event. When Jiang Nannan watched Xu Sanshi scan the crowd and finally approach her, she felt somewhat nervous and apprehensive.

Immediately after, Xu Sanshi landed on the leaf, almost anticipating all her movements. This gave him the upper hand. Of course, Jiang Nannan was unaware that Xu Sanshi not only knew her well, but had also cheated.

After two and a half years apart, Jiang Nannan had forgotten that their sixth junior brother possessed a powerful ability to share mental detection! With Huo Yuhao's current mental strength, a distance of one hundred meters was nothing. With his assistance in prediction, it was naturally not difficult for Xu Sanshi to remove Jiang Nannan's hat.

"Well done, San Shi!"

The male students cheered as they watched Xu Sanshi triumphantly remove Jiang Nannan's hat. One of the weaker students, in his excitement, almost slipped off the water lily and fell into the water.

Xu Sanshi turned around, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd, and said triumphantly, "Luckily, lucky! Fellow students, let's all cheer each other on! We already have a lot of people in this first round, so we must take all the girls' hats off." As he spoke, he shamelessly brought the hat that Jiang Nannan had worn earlier close to his face, took a deep breath, and looked completely smug. Fortunately, the distance was far enough and it was dark that Jiang Nannan couldn't see his smug expression, otherwise she might have been quite angry.

This first round was meant to showcase individual abilities, and Xu Sanshi, seemingly without using any soul skills, still succeeded, and with remarkable composure. The elders and teachers on the ferry in the distance couldn't help but nod in approval, and even Elder Xuan watched with a smile.

Xu Sanshi kept clasping his hands in a fist and bowing gesture, clearly extremely proud. And he certainly had reason to be proud. The female trainees were all dressed in identical long dresses covering their entire bodies, with conical hats and veils hanging down to their sides. To most people, they all looked exactly the same. For Xu Sanshi to be able to spot Jiang Nannan among seventeen female trainees in this pitch-black night was something that couldn't be explained simply by familiarity.

Seeing Xu Sanshi's flamboyant performance, Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly and glanced at Bei Bei beside her. Bei Bei was watching Xu Sanshi with a smile on her face, clearly used to his style.

"Next, Lone Sail, it's your turn," Zhang Lexuan said.

The Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event had a large number of participants and consisted of five stages. Although everyone could be considered a genius Soul Master with strong cultivation, maintaining the ability to stand lightly on the water lily leaves for a long time was still quite a burden, so they naturally had to make the most of their time.

Gu Fan was a young man in his late twenties. When he heard Zhang Lexuan call his name, he immediately nodded to his senior sister and then stood up.

A pair of beautiful, pure white wings unfolded behind him. His figure was already very well-proportioned, and with the flapping of his wings, he gracefully flew towards the seventeen female students opposite him.

Jiang Nannan's expression had returned to calm. She didn't look at Xu Sanshi, but instead glanced at Huo Yuhao, giving him a reproachful look. She had clearly figured it out; how could Xu Sanshi possibly lift her hat so easily?

Huo Yuhao simply smiled.

A hundred meters is a short distance for flying. The lone sail drifted over, and just as it was about to arrive, its wings suddenly slapped against the water, and its seven spirit rings shone brightly.

Suddenly, a "whooshing" sound rang out, and a strong wind suddenly arose on the surface of Poseidon Lake. With the flapping of his wings, a huge wave was instantly created, which crashed towards the female students on the opposite side.

A smug smile was already spreading across Gu Fan's face. If the female trainees were hit by the waves he created, they would all be soaking wet beauties, making them easy to spot and providing a feast for the eyes!

However, at that very moment, one of the seventeen female students, standing in the center, suddenly shouted, "Gu Fan, you shameless bastard!" She raised her right hand and struck forward with a palm, seven spirit rings rising from beneath her feet, unleashing a powerful surge of flames. The flames instantly erupted into a sea of ​​fire, using fire to block the water and completely shutting out the towering waves.

As the water vapor rose, the enormous, surging waves were instantly vaporized.

Huo Yuhao overheard a senior student beside him whisper, "Wow, that's Golden Crow True Fire. I didn't expect Wu Ming to participate in this matchmaking event too!"

Although Huo Yuhao didn't know what the Golden Crow True Fire was, he could sense from the intense golden-red flames that its heat was comparable to Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Flame back then.

Right next to the female student who was unleashing the Golden Crow True Fire, another female student shouted angrily, "You have ulterior motives, Senior Sister, I'm making my move."

A golden light shot up into the sky, lashing out like a dragon in mid-air. Lone Sail in the air was already startled by the sight of the Golden Crow True Fire. His martial soul was a swan, and he was a support-type battle soul master. According to the rules, the girls were not allowed to attack him, which was why he dared to act so boldly. Now, suddenly being attacked by two people at the same time, how could he not be shocked?

He flapped his wings, trying to retreat and escape. But the golden light that shot into the sky suddenly coiled upwards, its length continuously extending, transforming into rings of golden light that enveloped him in mid-air.

"Sister Ruoruo, I was wrong, please have mercy!" Gu Fan cried out in despair, giving up all resistance. The female student who attacked him was the perfect counter to him in terms of strength, and there was nothing he could do about it.

The female student wielding the rope suddenly had eight spirit rings rising from her body: two yellow, two purple, and four black. No wonder Gu Fan was begging for mercy in mid-air. But the girl showed no mercy whatsoever; the golden rope tightened, binding him like a rice dumpling. With a flick of her right hand, Gu Fan was flung directly from the air and crashed into the Sea God Lake.

The golden light receded and disappeared simultaneously with the spirit ring. Beside the two female students who had displayed their power, another female student pressed her hands down, and the previously turbulent lake water instantly calmed down, with only a faint blue light flashing by.

Lone Sail, already released from the water, popped its head out and cried out to Zhang Lexuan in the distance, "Senior Sister, they broke the rules! Wasn't it said that the girls weren't allowed to fight in the first round?"

Zhang Lexuan snorted coldly and said, "What's your purpose in stirring up trouble? Didn't Ruoruo just say that you have ulterior motives and have already broken the rules? Swim back to shore yourself. You don't need to participate in this matchmaking event anymore."

Although Gu Fan looked aggrieved, Zhang Lexuan's strong personal charm was undeniable. He didn't say anything more and could only swim dejectedly towards the shore.

Huo Yuhao turned to look at He Caitou beside him, who was also looking at him. The two brothers swallowed almost simultaneously.

This matchmaking event is really something else! Are these girls really here to find a partner?

He Caitou whispered, "Didn't Senior Brother say that this first step was safe? I don't feel that way at all!"

Huo Yuhao smiled wryly, "I didn't think so either. Those senior girls over there are amazing, some even have eight rings. Second Senior Brother, I'm a little scared!"

He Caitou chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of! Maybe one of the senior sisters will take a liking to you."

Huo Yuhao whispered to the senior student who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, "Senior, who were those two female seniors who made the move just now? You seem to know them."

The senior student next to him was also quite handsome and tall, but the bitter smile on his face was no less than theirs.

"How could we not recognize her? The one who unleashed the Golden Crow True Fire is named Wu Ming, nicknamed the Golden Crow Saintess. Of course, we generally think that the 'Saint' in her name should be the 'leftover' part. She must be in her thirties by now, and she still hasn't found a man. It's not that she's ugly, it's just that her temper is incredibly fiery. She and Ma Xiaotao are known as the two active volcanoes of the inner courtyard. With them around, this matchmaking event is going to be quite lively tonight."

The one who later used the Golden Rope was even more extraordinary; her name was Han Ruoruo, and she was the senior sister's best friend. Among the female students in the inner courtyard, her cultivation was second only to the senior sister. Didn't you see she was already at the Soul Douluo level?

We don't have any male students with eight rings. Although her temper isn't exactly fiery, she's strong-willed and not at all weak! She's intolerant of injustice and sometimes even works as a guest teacher in the inner courtyard. I didn't expect her to come today. This is really lively! Senior Han's nickname is Golden Fairy; perhaps because they both have the character "gold" in their names, she and Wu Ming have an excellent relationship.

"The Golden Rope? It seems to be a very powerful weapon spirit?" Huo Yuhao asked again.

"Hmm. It's known as the best controller in the inner courtyard, how could it not be strong? You see its position clearly, right? If you're so capable, go over there later and lift up the hats of these two sisters, then we'll all be impressed."

"That's right, that's right." Some people on the side were already stirring things up.

"Let the senior students do it instead," Huo Yuhao said, not falling for the trick.

After this brief initial encounter, he increasingly felt that these senior students from the inner academy were unfathomable! Just those few moves alone would make any one of them an absolute powerhouse outside. Unrivaled among their peers.

Perhaps because Han Ruoruo and Wu Ming had greatly intimidated the male students, the next few to appear were all very proper and kept their distance from the two senior girls, instead sneaking to the side to lift the hats off the girls on the periphery.

It's unclear whether the girls' defenses were too strong or the brothers who made the move were too timid, but despite five or six men making their attempts, none of them succeeded.

Thirty-nine male students, arranged in rows of thirteen, meant that half of Huo Yuhao's first row had already passed.

"Hey, are you all born in the year of the Yellow Croaker? Why are you all swimming along the edge? For love, you need to have a spirit of disregarding everything. Otherwise, how can you win the hearts of girls?" Zhang Lexuan said with a smile.

With her encouragement, the next few male trainees performed much better. Although they were still somewhat unsatisfactory, they were much better than the previous ones. They finally lifted their hats and revealed their faces, which were both charming and cheerful.

Of the seventeen female trainees, three have now revealed their true appearances.

When they reached the senior student in front of Huo Yuhao, he gave Huo Yuhao a victory sign before leaping up and dashing off. From their earlier exchange, Huo Yuhao already knew that this senior student had a very imposing name: Chu Qingtian.

Six spirit rings flashed, and he lightly touched the water's surface with his toes, his speed astonishing. Beneath the glow of the spirit rings, faint brownish-yellow fur could be seen on his body.

Leopard-type martial spirit?

Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly.

At this moment, Chu Qingtian had already rushed in front of the female students, heading straight for Han Ruoruo, who had previously used the Golden Rope Technique. This action immediately drew loud cheers from the male students.

Chu Qingtian flashed to Han Ruoruo's side, and with a swift movement of his right hand, he reached out and grabbed at the veil hanging from Han Ruoruo's hat.

"You've got some nerve!" Han Ruoruo snorted coldly, raising her right hand to block his.

Chu Qingtian, however, refused to confront her directly. There was an absolute difference in their cultivation levels; a direct clash would be disastrous. Suddenly, his third spirit ring shone brightly, countless bolts of lightning crackling and erupting. In the flashes of lightning, he vanished, as if merging into the lightning itself.

"Hmm?" Han Ruoruo exclaimed in surprise. Her golden rope instantly appeared, transforming into rings of gold that surrounded her, and all the lightning bolts that flashed towards her were extinguished in the golden light.
