Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 329 What can I do? I have both talent and good looks!

After Ye Liu, two more Soul Saint-level disciples came up empty-handed. Then, it was Zhu Ziyang's turn.

"Ziyang, long time no see." Dai Yueheng looked at Zhu Ziyang, exchanged a few pleasantries, and said.

"It's been a long time, Senior Brother Dai, Senior Sister Zhang, congratulations to you both," Zhu Ziyang replied with a smile.

"Okay! We'll talk again later. It's your turn. Good luck," Dai Yueheng said with a smile.

Zhu Ziyang nodded and calmly strode across the lake as if taking a leisurely stroll. With each step, a layer of ice would form beneath his feet. Such a relaxed and carefree movement naturally stunned his senior and junior brothers. The senior brothers were fine, as they all knew Zhu Ziyang and were somewhat aware of his strength. However, the junior brothers who had been admitted to the inner academy in recent years were wide-eyed with amazement and began to discuss who this unfamiliar senior brother was.

"Sigh! I knew it, Ziyang is here to steal the spotlight." Xu Sanshi shouted to Beibei from several people away.

"Get lost!" However, at this moment, Bei Bei was still bothered by Xu Sanshi lifting Tang Ya's hat. Although she knew that Xu Sanshi did it on purpose, Bei Bei still felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed fly droppings.

Zhu Ziyang walked to within five meters of the female disciples; any further and he would be vulnerable to attack. His target was clear. He had already carefully observed these female disciples, all dressed alike, during the previous rounds. He was 90% certain that they might be the Sea Goddess Fairy, one of Jiang Nannan's group.

He walked towards the location of the third Sea God Fairy. As he passed Tang Ya, the fifth Sea God Fairy, he noticed Tang Ya giving him a wink. Reassured, he smiled and approached the third Sea God Fairy, calling softly, "Nan Nan!"

Reaching out to grab the bamboo hat, the sea goddess showed no intention of stopping him, so Zhu Ziyang did not hesitate and directly lifted the hat, revealing Jiang Nannan's stunningly beautiful face with a hint of shyness.

"You've passed the first test!" Jiang Nannan murmured, her voice very soft, but it was so clear when it reached Zhu Ziyang's ears.

After removing Jiang Nannan's straw hat, Zhu Ziyang didn't stop, nor could he stop. Amidst the cheers of his fellow disciples behind him, he approached the Ninth Sea Fairy, swiftly removed her straw hat, and then called out with a smile, "Sister Xiaotao!"

Ma Xiaotao had originally planned to make things a little more difficult for Zhu Ziyang, but she didn't expect him to be so unpredictable. He directly took off her straw hat before calling out her name. Wasn't he afraid of calling the wrong person? But despite this, Ma Xiaotao still showed Zhu Ziyang her most beautiful smile.

However, even a smile as radiant as the rising sun couldn't stop Zhu Ziyang's advance. He strode to the Twelfth Sea Goddess and softly called out, "Yiyi!"

The hat was lifted, revealing Qian Lingyi, who responded to Zhu Ziyang's call with a sweet smile.

Last one. Zhu Ziyang approached the Sea Goddess No. 20 and reached out to take her hat. However, the girl clearly had no intention of obediently complying. Golden flames swirled in her hand as she struck at Zhu Ziyang's outstretched right hand. Seeing this, Zhu Ziyang remained calm. With a flick of his right hand, an extremely cold aura appeared. He grabbed the girl's small hand, and then, taking advantage of the situation, used his left hand to lift the girl's hat, revealing a pretty face with a hint of anger.

Fifth Huan'er.

To be honest, Zhu Ziyang was quite surprised that Fifth Huan'er would participate in this event, but since she did, he had to consider that, after all, the two of them had been intimate, and he couldn't let her be taken away by another man.

Seeing Zhu Ziyang's incredible prowess in unveiling the four sea goddesses, the other disciples couldn't sit still any longer and cried out, "Ziyang, leave some for your senior brothers!" "Senior brother, please stop your magic!"

Fortunately, there were no more girls whose veils Zhu Ziyang needed to unveil. He smiled and said, "Alright, then let's give all of you senior and junior brothers a chance to show yourselves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Ziyang flashed and appeared on his lotus leaf, covering a hundred meters. This move amazed many disciples. Dai Yueheng and Zhang Weiwei showed surprise and exchanged a glance, both seeing the guess in each other's eyes.

"Ziyang, you're amazing!" Xu Sanshi leaned over and laughed at Zhu Ziyang. "Four of them, can you handle it?"

"What can I do? I'm just blessed with both talent and good looks!" Perhaps influenced by Xu Sanshi, Zhu Ziyang uttered a sentence that made people want to punch him.

"You're something else!" Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi's face darkened, and he returned to his lotus leaf, somewhat unwilling to speak.

After Zhu Ziyang, two more people passed by, and it was Beibei's turn. Since Tang Ya's veil and hat were removed by Xu Sanshi, Beibei simply gave up on the task, since there was no mandatory requirement in the first stage anyway.

After Beibei gave up, it was the turn of a disciple named Chu Qingtian. Chu Qingtian was twenty-seven years old, with a cultivation level of sixty-seven Soul Emperor. His martial soul was the Lightning Leopard, an agility-type martial soul. Although he was an agility-type martial soul, he had a very brave heart.

Encouraged by his fellow disciples, this guy actually went to remove Wu Ming's bamboo hat and veil.

As for Wu Ming, well, she's a universally acknowledged red rose. Red roses are beautiful, but they also prick you. Her temper is even worse than Ma Xiaotao's. In the first few years after she entered the Inner Academy, she did participate in the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, but she didn't meet her true love.

As a result, among the female disciples of the same year, only she and Han Ruoruo remained single.

After Chu Qingtian, it was Huo Yuhao's turn. Zhu Ziyang watched his actions with great interest.

As Huo Yuhao possesses the ultimate ice martial soul, and with Zhu Ziyang as a ready-made example, his movements were very leisurely and relaxed. He directly condensed the ultimate ice under his feet, leaving a piece of ice on the lake with each step.

He quickly arrived in front of the sea goddesses. At this time, there were still fourteen sea goddesses wearing veils. Little Huo was a little confused and at a loss. After all, it would be very awkward to lift the veil of any senior or junior sister. If it was an acquaintance, he could laugh it off, but if it was a stranger, it would be really embarrassing.

Seeing Huo Yuhao standing somewhat bewildered on the water, Wu Ming chuckled and said, "Little brother, how old are you to be participating in a matchmaking event? Come on, why don't you go lift up Sister Ruoruo's hat? Sister Ruoruo loves cute little boys like you the most."

"Ming'er, do you want to die?" Although Han Ruoruo was still wearing a veil, it was easy to imagine that she must be extremely embarrassed. She said to Wu Ming in a coquettish tone, which immediately caused the female students to burst into laughter.

"Alright, alright, fellow senior and junior sisters, let's give Yuhao a break." Tang Ya stepped in to help Huo Yuhao out of the predicament. She felt that if they kept laughing, Huo Yuhao would run away on his own. So she said with a smile, "Yuhao, don't be shy, just lift one up."

"Oh, okay." Huo Yuhao's embarrassment lessened considerably upon hearing Tang Ya's words. He wanted to use his mental detection to check if he could find Xiao Xiao. Although he didn't know how to face Xiao Xiao, it was still better than being awkward with a stranger.

However, the moment Huo Yuhao extended his mental energy, he immediately felt an even greater mental force pressurize him back into his body. Then, a voice rang in his ears, "Yuhao, no cheating!"

Huo Yuhao's body trembled instantly, and he looked at Zhu Ziyang. Zhu Ziyang smiled at him and shook his head.

"Sigh!" Huo Yuhao sighed. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. He looked around and among the fourteen sea goddess fairies whose hats had not been removed, he chose number four. He had a feeling that this girl, who was between Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, was probably someone he knew. So, he decided to take a gamble.

Seeing Huo Yuhao walk towards the fourth Sea God Fairy, Zhu Ziyang's face showed a strange expression. The fourth Sea God Fairy was obviously trembling a little; it must be Xiao Xiao.

Little Huo approached the fourth sea goddess fairy and cautiously extended his hand. When he realized that the sea goddess fairy did not stop him, the tension on his face immediately dissipated. She lifted her hat, revealing a sweet and lovely face. Although they had not seen each other for several years, he recognized her at a glance: Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao's face was filled with excitement and joy, while Huo Yuhao's joy was tinged with a hint of awkwardness. He thought of what Zhu Ziyang had told him: young people are prone to infatuation. It would be impossible for him not to have any feelings for this good friend who had once fought alongside him.

"Xiao Xiao, long time no see!" Huo Yuhao said with a silly grin.

"Yes! Long time no see!" Xiao Xiao responded softly.
