Upon hearing this, the first female contestant lightly tapped her toes on a lily pad. With the solid ice supporting the lotus leaf from below, she had ample propulsion. Her body seemed weightless as she floated out. Just as she was about to touch the water, she spun gracefully. A layer of white spirit power surged out like a wave, pressing down on the water and steadily holding her aloft.
Two yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings slowly pulsed.
This female contestant looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a delicate and refined appearance, like a girl from a good family. Her facial features were very soft, making her easily approachable.
Without using any Spirit Ability, she relied purely on spirit power control to hover above the water. What seemed simple was actually an extremely difficult feat of control, immediately earning a chorus of admiration from the male students.
Hua Yao, a Senior from the same class as Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, Zhang Weiwei, and Wu Ming, was low-key, so her presence in the Inner Courtyard was not very high.
"My name is Hua Yao. My Spirit is the lotus flower. I am a control system Spirit Saint, thirty-one years old this year. I only wish to find a gentle man as a companion, not necessarily overly outstanding, someone who dares to live a simple life and can stay with me for the rest of our lives," Hua Yao said. Her simple statement left a deep impression because such a 'go with the flow' mentality was very rare among Spirit Masters, especially high-ranked Spirit Masters.
"Then who is your choice?" Zhang Weiwei asked with a smile.
Hua Yao clearly had a target in mind. Her pretty face slightly flushed, she floated towards a certain direction. Soon, she flew in front of the male students, her beautiful eyes sweeping over everyone before finally settling on a male student who looked about thirty years old.
This male student was tall and slender. Although his appearance was somewhat ordinary, his demeanor was somewhat detached, like a recluse living in seclusion. His name was Gu Fan, and by a great coincidence, he was in the same class as Hua Yao and also a Spirit Saint.
With a flicker of her figure, Hua Yao had already arrived in front of Gu Fan, bowing slightly to him, expressing her feelings.
Immediately, the male students cheered as if egging them on. Gu Fan was slightly surprised, but more so delighted, a joyful smile appearing on his face. He didn't speak, but his actions responded to Hua Yao's feelings. He lightly tapped his toes on a lily pad, floated back three meters, and made a welcoming gesture.
Hua Yao was not shy. She directly floated onto it, her pretty face slightly flushed, then nodded to Gu Fan, who in turn nodded slightly. There was a telepathic understanding between them. Undoubtedly, these two had known each other before, and there was only a thin veil left between them.
The Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, in a sense, was a platform for Inner Courtyard Disciples to express themselves.
A pink lotus flower appeared beneath Gu Fan's feet. Gu Fan gracefully landed, exchanged glances with Hua Yao, then extended his hand and intertwined his small hand with hers.
Zhang Weiwei saw these two classmates from the same class finally become a couple and couldn't help but smile knowingly, exclaiming, "Gu Fan and Hua Yao, truly a match made in heaven!"
"Very good, Senior Sister Hua Yao has set a good precedent for the Sea God Fairies. I hope the subsequent Sea God Fairies can also find their true love!" Dai Yueheng said with a smile, "Next female contestant, please!"
The second female contestant still wore a bamboo hat. As she floated, a faint golden light enveloped her. A surprising scene unfolded: she said nothing, nor did she remove the veil from her bamboo hat. Instead, she flew directly towards the male students.
Witnessing her actions, Zhu Ziyang already had a guess about this female contestant's identity: it must be Wang Dong'er, his nominal Junior Brother.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but sigh. This child was quite pitiful, not only being manipulated by Sea God Tang San but also being set up by him, her Senior Brother. Alas, there was nothing that could be done. It involved a game between deities, and he could only try his best to ensure she didn't perish. As for her and Huo Yuhao, that would depend entirely on Huo Yuhao's own thoughts.
"This Junior Sister seems to be a new disciple, quite unfamiliar! Aren't you going to remove your bamboo hat and say something? Don't forget my earlier reminder," Zhang Weiwei couldn't help but remind Wang Dong'er after seeing her actions.
However, Wang Dong'er didn't pay attention. She merely shook her head in the air, said nothing, and continued flying straight towards the male students. Her body looked very light. After floating ten meters, she lightly tapped her toes on the water and flew up again. A hundred meters was merely a matter of a few ascents and descents.
Immediately after, her spirit rings appeared: one yellow, two purple, and three black spirit rings flashed. Such a distinct spirit ring configuration was very rare even in Shrek Academy's Inner Courtyard.
Zhu Ziyang observed Huo Yuhao's reaction and found that a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, but then he quickly returned to normal. Clearly, he did not recognize the young girl wearing the bamboo hat as Wang Dong. Zhu Ziyang didn't know how to evaluate his Junior Brother at this moment. He always felt that he was very dull in certain matters. Was he influenced by someone?
Wang Dong'er flew directly towards Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao was stunned for a few seconds, then somewhat awkwardly left the lotus leaf for the young girl, retreating to the surface of the lake. Fortunately, this boy's ice control ability was not bad; he timely condensed ice beneath his feet, preventing him from falling into the water and being eliminated.
The second female contestant's choice did not deter the others. The third female contestant immediately entered.
The third female contestant was Xiao Xiao. Zhu Ziyang didn't believe there was no inside story to this lottery, as it was simply too coincidental. Xiao Xiao didn't back down because Wang Dong'er chose Huo Yuhao. Clearly, Jiang Nannan's ideological work was very thorough.
The petite young girl looked delicate, but her performance surprised everyone. She first leaped, with two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings appearing behind her, and charged straight towards the male students opposite. The hundred-meter distance, for her Spirit King cultivation, was clearly not achievable in one go. Just as she was about to fall into the water, a large cauldron appeared beneath her feet, allowing her to gain leverage again and charge directly in front of Huo Yuhao, landing on the lotus leaf where Wang Dong was already standing.
Huo Yuhao was even more bewildered, but a trace of joy arose deep within his heart. He Caitou's eyes completely dimmed. Jiang Nannan, Tang Ya, Xue Weiwei, Bei Bei, and Xu Sanshi all had varied expressions, wondering what they were thinking. As for Wang Dong'er, she showed no reaction, but Zhu Ziyang keenly noticed that Wang Dong'er's blood qi fluctuated slightly when Xiao Xiao landed on the lotus leaf.
"This is going to be fun…" Zhu Ziyang chuckled softly, muttering under his breath.
"Oh dear, I never expected that just as the fourth segment began, we would have a scene of two women vying for one husband! I really look forward to what kind of scenes will appear next!" Dai Yueheng said, grinning, as if enjoying the spectacle, "Then, the fourth female contestant, please!"
The fourth female contestant also wore a bamboo hat, but compared to Wang Dong'er's confident self-assurance, this young girl was much more cautious. She first used a spirit tool to move across the lake, then unveiled her bamboo hat herself, revealing an extremely beautiful face.
She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Not only was her appearance extremely beautiful, but her figure was also graceful and charming. A hint of apology appeared on her pretty face as she said, "My name is Ning Tian. Because I am a support system Spirit Master, I can only rely on the power of spirit tools to stay on this water. I am a Level 54, support system tool Spirit King, and my Spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Zhu Ziyang naturally knew about this young girl named Ning Tian, the Young Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, a genius whose talent rivaled Ning Rongrong, the Nine Treasure Douluo from ten thousand years ago. Perhaps, the difference between her and Ning Rongrong lay in one having Big Brother Tang San, and the other not.
Some secret stories about the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School flashed through Zhu Ziyang's mind, and his expression couldn't help but become strange.
"As a support system Spirit Master, I need a strong pair of arms to protect me. Therefore, I will choose a man who can protect me as my companion. I also believe that I can assist him in reaching the peak of the continent," Ning Tian was unaware of Zhu Ziyang's thoughts. She spoke to herself, then controlled the spirit tool beneath her feet, gliding past each male student.
Zhu Ziyang clearly noticed that when this young girl saw him, her movements hesitated slightly, but for some unknown reason, her actions became resolute again, and she directly bypassed Zhu Ziyang, heading towards Huo Yuhao.
"Huh ~ that shouldn't be!" Zhu Ziyang stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled. Could it be that his charm was inferior to that little brat Huo Yuhao's?
He didn't notice the triumphant look in the eyes of Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, and the other three girls opposite him.
