Chapter 314 Ye Guyi's Initiative.
Five black and two red, the dazzling light of the seven spirit rings instantly captured everyone's attention. Such an incredible spirit ring combination left no one worthy of admiration.
"This is too exaggerated!" the male students exclaimed in unison.
Yan Shaozhe, who had been comforting Ma Xiaotao at the stern, suddenly appeared at the bow with a blank expression.
"Yan Shaozhe, you're already so old, why are you still so impatient?" Xian Lin'er said sarcastically.
Yan Shaozhe ignored her, his gaze remaining fixed on Wu Xuan, who was leading the way, before turning to Elder Mu with a questioning look.
Elder Mu shook his head slightly.
Understanding Elder Mu's attitude, Yan Shaozhe nodded slightly and didn't press further.
Of course, all of this happened in an instant.
The emerald green water lilies floating on the lake were very obvious. Wu Xuan immediately locked onto the first leaf. With his abilities, there was no need for him to hold back. Just as Wu Xuan was about to land...
"Wu Xuan! Brother, I owe you a favor." Stepping on the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, Xu Sanshi, slowly landing at the rear of the main group, revealed a sly smile, his fourth soul ring flashing.
Xuanming Swap!
A unique soul skill that allows the locked-on person to switch positions with themselves. Today was a rare opportunity, and Xu Sanshi had been eyeing the first water lily leaf for a long time. He was determined to seize the first position and make a heartfelt confession to his Nan Nan.
Last night's Singles' Night celebration had been a constant focus for him, and he was shocked when he heard that Wu Xuan dared to participate in this year's Sea God's Fate.
He knew the rules of the Sea God's Fate, and he knew Ma Xiaotao's temper all too well. How would Wu Xuan choose when he could only take one person?
Today, he finally understood that Sister Xiaotao hadn't actually participated in this year's Sea God's Fate matchmaking event. In that case, Wu Xuan was just going through the motions; what difficulty could there be? He might as well let himself have it.
Just moments ago, Xu Sanshi had finalized his plan: to take advantage of Wu Xuan's unpreparedness and switch positions. He figured Wu Xuan's speed was absurd; even if he was a little late, he'd still be among the top few.
The idea was appealing, but reality dealt Xu Sanshi a heavy blow.
"Buzz—"
"Hmm? Why isn't there any reaction?"
The Xuanming Swap locks onto its target using mental and soul power, but how could Xu Sanshi's actions escape Wu Xuan's notice? A powerful surge of mental energy distorted space, directly disrupting the Xuanming Swap's path towards him.
Wu Xuan landed steadily on the leading water lily leaf, pointing a single finger at Xu Sanshi in the distance. The air around Xu Sanshi instantly became viscous, his speed plummeting. In just a few seconds, he fell to the back, widening the gap between himself and everyone else.
Veins bulged on Xu Sanshi's forehead; he seemed to be using every ounce of strength, but his speed wouldn't increase even slightly.
Seeing the main force not far from the water lily leaf, Xu Sanshi was frantic, but Wu Xuan showed no sign of stopping.
"Wu Xuan! Brother Xuan! Please don't be angry, you're so magnanimous, please let me off the hook, I'll never dare to do it again!" Xu Sanshi cried out in anguish.
"Hmph, you're smart enough to know your place! Go to the back of the line." Wu Xuan glanced at him indifferently and withdrew the restriction imposed on Xu Sanshi.
Hearing Wu Xuan's words, Xu Sanshi's face fell. He had tried to steal a chicken but lost his rice instead, and had no choice but to move towards the last lotus leaf.
If he used Xuanming to exchange for a spot with others, and Wu Xuan ended up stealing his bride, wouldn't he have nowhere to cry?
The warm-up session ended, and Wu Xuan was undoubtedly in first place.
"Alright, now let's begin the first session. Mutual respect. Starting from the left side of the first row, every male student can give full play to their abilities. However, don't go too far. Otherwise, if a female student can't help but make a move on you, I'll just have to pretend I didn't see it." Zhang Lexuan said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Wu Xuan, you start! Are you ready?" Bei Bei said.
Hearing this, everyone's gaze focused on Wu Xuan. Leaving aside the first water lily leaf he occupied and the two 100,000-year soul rings shimmering around him, the fact that a casual finger strike had forced Xu Sanshi to wail and beg for mercy was enough to speak volumes.
Wu Xuan nodded slightly, indicating he was fine.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Wu Xuan soared into the air, gracefully approaching the female students.
With a slight movement of his mind, Wu Xuan released his soul power, and the next moment, a gentle breeze rippled across the entire Sea God Lake.
"Just a seven-ring Soul Saint, yet every move he makes affects the surrounding environment. This guy is really getting more and more monstrous," Xu Sanshi, at the end of the line, muttered to himself.
"Ah! Wind! It's wind! Junior Brother Wu Xuan's martial soul is wind element, so lifting a girl's hat is just a matter of waving his hand!" an inner court student suddenly cried out.
Upon hearing this, all the male students' expressions changed. Even with their composure, they were somewhat flustered. What were they supposed to do then?
Just as all the students were nervously watching Wu Xuan's next move, Wu Xuan's figure had already arrived less than fifty meters in front of the female student, and it seemed he was heading straight for the center.
Beneath the veil, Xiao Xiao watched the approaching figure, her heart pounding like a drum.
"Little girl, I'm here."
A gentle voice rang out, and Wu Xuan slowly landed in front of the sixth Sea God Fairy on the left side of the first row. As Wu Xuan stretched out his hands, he gently lifted the hat of the person in front of him.
Dark green hair, a fair and pretty face, and large, bright eyes—it was clear at a glance that the person in front of him was full of vitality. A white silk dress accentuated her beautiful figure perfectly.
"Hehe! Brother Xuan, how did you find me so quickly?" A clear voice entered his ears, and in the next moment, a soft body was in Wu Xuan's arms.
Wu Xuan couldn't help but gently pinch Xiao Xiao's delicate little nose: "Can I say we're on the same wavelength?"
"Ahem! Junior Brother Wu, are you going to continue? If not, then it's the next student's turn." Bei Bei coughed lightly to remind him.
"No! Next one!" Wu Xuan glanced around the room and then smiled. As soon as he finished speaking, all the male students breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Wu Xuan was about to leave, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait a minute!" As soon as the voice fell, a girl in the second row suddenly took off her bamboo hat.
A head of smooth, golden hair cascaded down her shoulders. Her skin was as white as snow, her nose was straight, and Ye Guyi, dressed in a white dress, no longer had her usual holy and noble air, but instead had a sense of falling to earth.
"Senior Sister! Can I take off my hat myself?" Ye Guyi smiled faintly.
"Of course!" Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi looked at Wu Xuan and smiled brightly: "Wu Xuan! You little rascal , just wait until I steal your bride!"
Wu Xuan couldn't help but cover his face; she held a grudge so much! He should have known better than to tease her earlier.
