"That's... Her Highness, Princess Tianzhen!"
"The other one seems to be Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire!"
"Heavens, could the first one be the former princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Wei Na?"
A commotion broke out in the stands and the waiting area. Clearly, Xie Huanyue's consecutive unveiling of three princesses' conical hats had caused quite a stir.
"So strong..."
The sunlight extinguished. Xu Tianzhen looked seriously at Xie Huanyue before her, her expression uncertain.
"It would be so good if you were a person of my Sun Moon Empire! I would definitely chase after you at all costs and become your girlfriend!" Xu Tianzhen clenched her small fists and shouted loudly.
Xie Huanyue instantly froze. Xixi, who was about to announce the continuation of the blind date, stumbled and almost fell into the water. The students of the Ming Dou Soul Engineer Academy all covered their faces, unable to look directly.
Xu Jiujiu's face was full of astonishment. She had clearly set her sights on this guy first. Why did another princess suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Gou Luanshi whispered in Xu Tianran's ear, "Your Highness, that Xu Tianzhen and you..."
He had seen Xu Tianran display his abilities just now and also had some understanding of the Sun Moon Empire's inherited imperial martial soul.
Xu Tianran's face looked a bit unsightly. "She is indeed that rebellious little sister of mine. That girl has been disobedient since she was little. It's all because Father spoiled her too much."
Xu Tianran continued with a bitter smile, "When this spoiled, willful, and rebellious sister of mine was just born, she was very lively and cute. So Father named her Tianzhen and gave her the title of Princess Tianzhen. But who knew, this girl's personality really threw the entire imperial family into chaos! Stealing the consorts' cosmetics, dismantling Father's bedchamber, burning down the grand hall—she's done it all. When she finally grew up a bit, Father wanted to send her to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy to study, but she stubbornly refused, insisting on going to Shrek Academy. You know, our relationship with Shrek was never very good in the past. Although this girl is mischievous, she is Father's most beloved daughter, and we several older brothers all dote on her. Naturally, we couldn't let her go on such an adventure. For this, Father got angry at her for the first time and grounded this girl for a period of time. After the grounding ended, this girl, out of a rebellious mentality, stubbornly refused to go to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and instead went to the Ming Dou Soul Engineer Academy. Speaking of which, in terms of cultivation talent, Tianzhen is the best among us children. It wasn't easy for her to lead her team into the top eight this time. It's just that, alas... this girl is really too embarrassing. I don't even know where to put my face."
Gou Luanshi immediately smiled and comforted him, "Princess Tianzhen is innocent and cute. This isn't a bad thing. I actually quite envy her straightforward personality."
Xu Tianran sighed, "It is precisely because of this that although we several brothers are constantly fighting among ourselves, we all dote on her. The more she is spoiled, the more she gets carried away. There's really nothing to be done. She's about to graduate and return to the palace soon. As the Minister of Internal Affairs, you will have to guide her more in the future. If she could be a bit smarter and more obedient, I would have much less to worry about. I don't know what kind of trouble this girl will cause in the future. In a moment, you can help me look for some outstanding talents from Ming Dou's younger generation. If we can find a husband for this girl early, I can be considered relieved."
Gou Luanshi smiled and nodded in agreement. He could see that although Xu Tianran spoke with great helplessness, his tone was filled with doting affection for this Princess Tianzhen.
The interlude of Xie Huanyue successively unveiling three princesses' conical hats quickly passed, but the former's talent, which was no less than that of the legendary Demon King Huo Yuhao, had still won the secret affection of many fairies.
It could be foreseen that Xie Huanyue, in his twenties, would surely become a Titled Douluo or even a Super Douluo!
Time passed minute by minute, and it was now midnight. As the talent of the subsequent young prodigies who came on stage tended to be ordinary, the joint offensive of the Sea God's Fairies also became more and more fierce. Some Soul Ancestors with only four rings were almost knocked into the water as soon as they rushed over, looking extremely pathetic.
The people at the back, knowing their abilities were insufficient, began to quietly withdraw one after another. However, this was also the result that the fairies and the organizers had hoped to see. If they really had to go through everyone one by one, the sun might have risen before they were done.
Among the fairies, there were still more than a hundred wearing conical hats. After this first segment of Cherishing Each Other, the emotions of both sides had been fully mobilized. Xu Sanshi, standing in the first row, could clearly feel the fiery gazes from beside and behind him.
Seeing that no one else was coming on stage, Bei Bei then announced a change of position. The ranking was rearranged according to the number of fairy conical hats taken off in the first round. Those Soul Sages and Soul Douluo, with their scores of several dozen conical hats, naturally ranked in the first row.
"Due to time constraints, the upcoming second segment will be combined with the third segment." Bei Bei said in a loud voice, "After getting to know each other in the first segment, next is the time for the girls to express who they are interested in. Therefore, our second and third segments are called, Love at First Sight, and Infatuation at Second Sight. The rules are simple. Each fairy will receive a switch to control the soul tool lamp under her. Each boy will get a chance to introduce himself. After the self-introduction, state the number of the Sea God's Fairy you admire. After all the boys have finished their self-introductions, the girls will begin to make their choices. This time, they will each light up a lamp for one boy they are interested in. As long as a boy gets a fairy to leave a light on for him, he can continue to stay here and participate in the following segments. But if, regrettably, not a single fairy leaves a light on for him, then unfortunately, he will have to leave our event."
"All boys, please note that when you are showcasing yourselves, you can simultaneously display the abilities you consider powerful, or you can introduce your cultivation level, and so on. As long as you feel that your introduction can attract the girl you admire, that is fine."
Up to now, there were still more than three thousand boys left. The time for each person to showcase themselves was definitely not short. If it were to proceed normally, it would also take more than two days to complete, which was clearly not what the organizers had hoped for.
Xu Sanshi remembered very clearly that a senior had told them before that the second segment originally took the shortest amount of time, but for the boys, it was the most important test. Because in this segment, no matter how strong or outstanding you were, as long as no female student left a light on for you, you would be immediately eliminated. After all, the number of boys was much greater than the number of girls. Therefore, combining these two segments was originally to simplify the situation.
"Due to the number of people, there is a major change to this second and third segment, which is the method of coming on stage for self-introduction. Ten people will come out at the same time and showcase themselves in a competitive manner, and you only have three minutes." Xixi added.
Showcasing themselves in a competitive manner?
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the crowd immediately became a bit strange. This method sounded a bit like bidding at an auction!
"For example, among the ten people who will come on first in a moment, each boy who is showcasing himself can speak of his own advantages while the other nine are introducing themselves. However, you cannot exaggerate your own strength or deliberately interrupt others' speeches." Bei Bei explained to the crowd unhurriedly.
"I ask all the Sea God's Fairies to consider carefully. After every ten boys have finished their competitive introductions, you will have half a minute to consider. You must think it over! Also, I want to emphasize that if you do not leave a light on for any male student, it also means that you will give up this blind date event."
The fairies naturally had their own plans. Separated by a hundred meters, they all seemed very quiet, but no one knew if they already had someone in their hearts.
"Alright, then our next segment, Love at First Sight and Infatuation at Second Sight, begins now! In this second segment, leaving a light on does not mean that you must ultimately choose that boy. As long as you have a good impression, you can give him a chance, which is also giving yourself a chance. I believe they will also pay attention to the girls who leave a light on for them. Begin."
Soon, ten people came out from among the experts who had taken off the most conical hats before.
Some of them flew into the air, some showed their soul rings, and some displayed their figures and appearances. All of them were dragons among men.
"Greetings, all Sea God's Fairies. My name is Huo Yuhao." In the air, the first person had already announced his name. Two yellow, two purple, three black—seven soul rings shone simultaneously.
Before he could continue, the second person, a young man who looked to be in his thirties, immediately rushed to introduce himself, "No, I am Huo Yuhao!" After speaking, he didn't forget to show off his eight soul rings.
"When did so many people with the same name as me, Huo Yuhao, appear on this continent?" The third person sneered.
At this moment, whether it was the hosts Bei Bei and Xixi, or Gou Luanshi and the others on the tall building watching the situation, their heads were all petrified in unison.
