Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 389 Sister Assassin Chu Qingtian, Hope Shattered by Xu Sanshi
Long Xiangyue returned to the water lily, his face still flushed with shyness, like a little girl who dared not look directly at Wu Ming.

Cao Jinxuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Long Xiangyue's shy expression.

Next up are He Caitou and Bei Bei. Over the years, He Caitou's relationship with Xiao Xiao has developed rapidly, and the two are much closer than at this point in the original story.

So he immediately targeted Xiao Xiao, went up to her and took off her straw hat, and the two even hugged affectionately.

He Caitou and Xiao Xiao have the cutest height difference, and everyone was touched by their affectionate scene.

However, countless people blushed and thought of bad things when they saw that He Caitou was almost twice the size of Xiao Xiao.

With such a large size, won't it get damaged during sex?

In response, He Caitou said that you guys don't understand girls at all. Don't you know who makes girls?
Regardless of size, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion; you've never heard of a field that's been ruined by plowing.

After He Caitou returned, Zhang Lexuan looked at Beibei and said, "Beibei, it's your turn."

“Yes, Senior Sister.” Bei Bei stepped forward with a smile.

He suddenly tapped his toes on the water lily leaf, and his body soared into the air. Two yellow, two purple, and two black soul rings—the six best-matched soul rings—appeared on his body.

His dark sixth spirit ring lit up, and a golden celestial dragon horse flew out from between his eyebrows.

This celestial dragon horse is the spirit of Bei Bei from the original story, and Zhou Sichen has already arranged for it to be given to Bei Bei in advance.

Furthermore, in order not to diminish Bei Bei's talent, the Heavenly Dragon Horse spirit was only used as Bei Bei's sixth spirit ring.

In the future, he can choose other soul rings for his seventh, eighth, and ninth soul rings. Although the Soul Spirit Technique has been widely promoted, there are always some soul beasts that don't know their place. It's no problem to hunt them down directly to use as soul rings.

Beibei mounted the Heavenly Dragon Horse and flew towards Tang Ya like a prince on a white horse.

This scene made the others envious. Most of the inner court students now possessed soul spirits, but few were as handsome as Bei Bei.

The visual experience of riding a white horse is completely different from that of riding a bear.

Before long, Beibei, riding the Heavenly Dragon Horse, arrived in front of Tang Ya, reached out and removed her veil and hat, revealing a face that could be both happy and angry.

Tang Ya is now twenty years old. Her long, jet-black hair is styled into a ponytail and hangs down her back. A white silk dress perfectly accentuates her beautiful figure.

Her eyes were large and bright, her nose was straight and pert, her face was almost perfectly oval, and her beautiful face was beaming with a joyful smile.

Tang Ya's appearance is not as flawless as Jiang Nannan's, nor does she have the dignified and noble air of Ning Tian from a prominent family, but she has a refined and elegant temperament.

Her smile is incredibly infectious, making it easy for people to feel close to her.

Now that Tang Ya's martial soul has evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, she has gradually developed a noble and elegant temperament, making her even more charming.

Zhang Lexuan watched this scene with a smile on her face, her heart completely unmoved.

After resolving her inner conflict, she felt only sincere blessings for Beibei and Tangya.

After removing Tang Ya's straw hat, Bei Bei dismounted and kissed her little hand before riding the Heavenly Dragon Horse back to the Water Lily amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd.

The first four boys all managed to remove the hats of their crushes, and their crushes also reciprocated their feelings. It was arguably the sweetest opening in the history of Sea God's Fate.

After Beibei returned, Zhang Lexuan looked at Xu Sanshi again: "Next, Xu Sanshi!"

"Yes, senior sister!"

After being called out, Xu Sanshi stretched his body and stylishly twisted his neck, but he did not choose to summon his soul.

Xu Sanshi of the Sixth Ring also has a spirit, and it is also from the hawksbill turtle clan. Although it is not a golden hawksbill turtle, it still greatly increases his strength, and his martial spirit evolves into the Xuanwu Shield.

However, the hawksbill turtle wasn't as good-looking as the Heavenly Dragon Horse, nor did it have the same high-class feel, so Xu Sanshi slid towards the female student while stepping on the Xuanwu Shield.

While not as sophisticated as the previous few, she was still very elegant, like a meticulously performed ice skater.

"Nannan, I'm here!" Xu Sanshi shouted excitedly, and the Xuanwu Shield under his feet suddenly accelerated the water control.

Xu Sanshi had already locked onto his target and, stepping on the Xuanwu Shield, directly arrived in front of Jiang Nannan on the right.

Then, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, intending to land directly on the water lily leaf where Jiang Nannan was.

Sensing Xu Sanshi's rapid approach, Jiang Nannan's body seemed to tremble slightly before she released her martial spirit.

Six soul rings, in the perfect ratio of two yellow, two purple, and two black, emerged one after another from beneath Jiang Nannan's feet.

Almost at the same time, her fourth spirit ring, purple in color, shone brightly.

A dazzling, almost tangible golden shield protected its body, and then instantly expanded outwards.

The invincible golden body directly blocked Xu Sanshi from getting close, keeping him at bay.

As Xu Sanshi drew closer, his burning breath washing over her, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but recall that night that she would never forget.

In an instant, resentment and anger took over, so she instinctively used her fourth soul skill, Invincible Golden Body, to keep Xu Sanshi out.

In mid-air, Xu Sanshi made a gesture of stretching out his limbs and bending over to hug himself.

His face was pressed against the invincible golden shield, his features became distorted, and he spoke in a deep, melodious voice.

"Nannan, I love you. I promise I'll never fight back or talk back. Please, just one chance! Just this once!!!"

Xu Sanshi's actions once again touched a nerve with Jiang Nannan.

As her body trembled, the pain and humiliation that Xu Sanshi had inflicted on her back then kept churning in her mind.

"Get out of here!"

Jiang Nannan screamed with bloodshot eyes, and her left leg swept out in an instant.

A dense golden light emerged, then transformed into a holy beam of light, which struck Xu Sanshi's abdomen heavily.

This is the Holy Spirit Sable Soul Spirit of her sixth Soul Ring, which bestowed upon her a 30,000-year-old left leg Soul Bone skill.

Everyone present was completely taken aback by Jiang Nannan's strong reaction, which was usually so gentle; she even used her soul bone skill.

Caught off guard, Xu Sanshi was blasted dozens of meters away by Jiang Nannan's attack.

Just as he was about to fall into the lake, Xu Sanshi didn't even have time to activate the Xuanwu Shield to catch his body.

In the end, it was Beibei's Heavenly Dragon Horse that flew out and caught Xu Sanshi, preventing him from falling directly into the lake and being eliminated.

When Xu Sanshi came to his senses, his blood rushed to his head, and he grimaced.

Jiang Nannan was truly holding nothing back; her ten-thousand-year soul bone skill nearly caused him to fall apart.

Despite the intense pain in his abdomen, Xu Sanshi glanced forlornly at Jiang Nannan.

But he didn't say anything. With a determined expression, he jumped off the back of the Heavenly Dragon Horse and landed on his Xuanwu Shield, returning the way he came.

Beibei's move was already a foul, but Jiang Nannan's move was so ruthless that no one said anything.

Ultimately, Xu Sanshi relied on his own abilities to return to the Water Lily.

"Thanks, brother." Xu Sanshi smiled at Bei Bei after returning.

Although Xu Sanshi was no different from before, Beibei, as his best friend, could still clearly sense Xu Sanshi's subtle emotional changes.

The other male students from the inner courtyard continued the process, and most of them did not remove the girls' straw hats, but none of them were eliminated by falling into the water.

It's worth mentioning that Chu Qingtian, the Electric Leopard who is Wu Ming's love interest in the original novel, also took off a girl's straw hat, and it was still a big sister's straw hat.

Because of the change in the storyline, Chu Qingtian and Wu Ming did not spark a romance, but a small spark of love did develop between Chu Qingtian and Xi Xi.

Xixi's martial soul is the Lightning Leopard. The two martial souls share the same origin, and I heard that they recently developed a martial soul fusion technique.

With this, it's a done deal that the two will confirm their relationship through the Sea God's Fate event. It has to be said, Chu Qingtian is quite capable.

Whether in the original story or now, he always manages to attract the attention of older women and successfully become a kept man.

After all the trainees finished, three trainees were eliminated because these three guys were ungrateful and tried to take off Di Xi's hat.

Di Xi promised Zhou Sichen she wouldn't cause trouble, but if someone had designs on her, she'd be in big trouble.

The three were forcefully thrown into the Sea God Lake by Di Xi, and it was Han Ruoruo who rescued them using the Golden Rope.

Because of Di Xi's decisive action, others who still harbored feelings for Di Xi completely gave up on this unrealistic idea.

After the first round of mutual appreciation ended, the order was changed, and the rankings were re-established based on the number of female trainees whose hats were removed in the first round.

However, this time, the only way to remove the hat in the Sea God's Fate event was either to get one or none, so the final positions remained unchanged except for the three who were eliminated.

The male trainees didn't need to adjust their positions, and Han Ruoruo stepped forward and said, "Next is the second round."

"After getting to know each other in the first stage, it's time for the girls to express who they like."

"So, our second step is called 'love at first sight'."

"The rules are simple: each female student will receive a switch to control the soul guide lamp beneath her."

"They will each choose to turn off their lights or leave their lights on for each male trainee."

"Any male participant who receives a female participant's light can proceed to the next stage. However, if a male participant unfortunately does not receive a female participant's light, then unfortunately, he will have to leave this year's Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event."

"Please consider carefully, ladies of the sea. You have one minute to make your choice."

"Furthermore, I want to emphasize that if you do not leave your light on for at least one of the thirty-five male participants, it means that you have chosen to give up this matchmaking event and will withdraw from Poseidon Lake."

The female trainees were quiet, not exchanging words with each other, each with their own thoughts and plans.

When it comes to choosing a future partner, it must be based on one's own subjective wishes.

A minute passed quickly, and at Zhang Lexuan's signal, Han Ruoruo continued hosting.

"Alright, the second segment, 'Love at First Sight,' will now begin. First, please, all the Sea Goddesses, leave your lamps lit for Cao Jinxuan."

"But leaving the light on doesn't mean you have to choose him in the end. As long as you have a good impression, you can give him a chance, and also give yourself a chance."

Surprisingly, apart from Di Xi turning off her light, everyone else left their lights on.

People like Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, and Wu Ming left their lights on not because they liked each other, but because of the friendship between them.

After all, the more lights you leave on, the more popular the other person is. Although this is something that won't be said outright, it's definitely something that makes you feel good inside.

Whether the others are giving him face or really want to snatch him away from Ning Tian is another matter.

Next up were Long Xiangyue, He Caitou, Beibei, and a few others.

Without exception, they all left their lights on for many people, in addition to those they liked.

Di Xi was the only one who treated everyone equally from beginning to end. Since Zhou Sichen had already agreed to her request, she naturally had no need to stay any longer.

Once this step is over, Di Xi will withdraw.

When it came to Xu Sanshi's turn, another unexpected scene unfolded. Jiang Nannan naturally wouldn't leave a light on for Xu Sanshi.

But among the twenty female students, besides Tang Ya and Xiao Xiao who kept their lights on for friendship, there were quite a few others who kept their lights on for Xu Sanshi!

It's clear that Xu Sanshi, who was disliked by Jiang Nannan, was highly sought after by others.

Moreover, these girls are all elites of the inner academy, no less capable than Jiang Nannan.

In the past, Xu Sanshi would not pay much attention to the other people who left their lights on, but this time he glanced at the others who had left their lights on for him for no reason.

It was Xu Sanshi's extra glance that gave others an opportunity.

In the past, girls would leave their lights on for Xu Sanshi, but he never even glanced at them. This time, however, he paid unusual attention to them.

what does this mean?
This means an opportunity has arrived!
Girls are much more perceptive than boys; they can always pick up on details that others miss.

Jiang Nannan also noticed Xu Sanshi's glance. She wouldn't leave the light on for Xu Sanshi, but she kept an eye on him.

This feeling is complex, but that's the reality.

Jiang Nannan was also an extremely perceptive person. When she noticed Xu Sanshi's unusual actions, her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

It seems... something that originally belonged to her has begun to change course.

But Jiang Nannan quickly regained her composure. It must be her imagination! She had already rejected him, so she shouldn't overthink it!

For Xu Sanshi, Jiang Nannan's decisive decision to turn off the light this time shattered most of his hopes once again.

He did hurt Jiang Nannan back then, but he was completely unaware of her background at the time and tried his best to make amends afterward.

He did not shirk this responsibility, but over the years he believed he had done everything he could, yet he still could not help Jiang Nannan resolve her inner conflict.

Even before participating in this year's Poseidon Blind Date Event, Xu Sanshi had already made a decision.

That's why he couldn't help but show a dejected expression after his setback with Jiang Nannan in the first round.

For him, it didn't matter if the other nineteen lamps went out, as long as Jiang Nannan left a lamp for him.

However, he knew that all of this was just wishful thinking.

As expected, Jiang Nannan turned off the light resolutely without even looking at Xu Sanshi.

The pale golden light dissipated, along with the stubbornness and determination in Xu Sanshi's heart.

To everyone's surprise, although Xu Sanshi's face was deathly pale, the emotions deep in his eyes were very calm, and even had a hint of self-mockery.

Now that the spark of the common people's rise and defying fate template that Jiang Nannan saw is gone, Jiang Nannan's mentality is subtly different from that of the original work at the same time.

The overall tone of Douluo Continent is too depressing.

Only descendants of large families and nobles can become powerful. Commoners cannot inherit powerful martial spirits and can only rise above others through mutation.

The chance of an ordinary martial soul mutating into an advanced martial soul is extremely low, let alone mutating into a top-tier or super martial soul.

Because of her own experiences, Jiang Nannan hates this situation.

But she was powerless to change anything, and gradually, she transferred this resentment to Xu Sanshi, who came from a prominent family and had once oppressed her.

Because Xu Sanshi was the person who had the most contact with her and was always trying to curry favor with her...

So she didn't consider at all that, in that situation, she had no choice at all; she was the one who needed someone's help.

It wasn't that the Xuanming Sect behind Xu Sanshi insisted on making that deal with her.

But that's human subjectivity; we'll always only think about things from our own perspective.

Furthermore, Jiang Nannan's current strength is even greater than in the original story, which makes her feel that she can defy fate and change her destiny in the future, and that she doesn't have to submit.

Therefore, over the years, Xu Sanshi has suffered more setbacks with Jiang Nannan than in the original story, and he sees even less hope.

This is why, in the end, Xu Sanshi inexplicably looked at the other people who had left their lights on for him.

Perhaps it's because his heart has already told him that some people, once missed, are missed forever.
