Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 332 At twenty years old, he was a Title Douluo!

On Poseidon Lake, the Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event is in its third phase. At this moment, everyone's eyes are fixed on the young man who is about to appear.

With a smile on his face, Zhu Ziyang strolled leisurely across the water, his steps neither hurried nor slow. With each step, a patch of ice would form on the lake. When Zhu Ziyang reached the center, the ice on the lake instantly connected, lifting the lotus leaves beneath the feet of the sea goddess fairies on the opposite side. This action caused all the girls to look at him, their eyes sparkling with admiration. Those who knew him and those who didn't were all waiting for his self-introduction.

"Hello, fellow senior and junior sisters, my name is Zhu Ziyang." Zhu Ziyang had a faint smile on his face, and his every move was elegant and graceful. His voice was like a gentle breeze.

As soon as he finished speaking, the inner court disciples present immediately became restless. Most of them were new disciples. During the time they were admitted to Shrek Academy, Zhu Ziyang was making a name for himself in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition. Many of them had heard of his name when they were in the outer court, but they had never seen him.

Seeing him now feels like meeting a legendary figure; it's like a dream.

"That's Zhu Ziyang?!" Among the group of boys behind Zhu Ziyang, Dai Huabin's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit and admiration as he whispered.

"Junior brother, you don't actually want to challenge Junior Brother Zhu, do you?" Chu Qingtian, who was next to Dai Huabin, noticed Dai Huabin's behavior and asked in surprise.

"Hmm! Is that not allowed?" Dai Huabin glanced at Chu Qingtian, his tone laced with disdain. His disdain was naturally directed at Chu Qingtian; what right did a guy who only reached the Soul Emperor level at twenty-seven have to call him junior brother?

"Heh!" Chu Qingtian naturally heard the disdain in Dai Huabin's voice and immediately sneered, "I advise you not to overestimate yourself. Junior Brother Zhu reached the Soul Emperor level when he was fifteen. With your current strength, he may not agree to your challenge. It's better not to make a fool of yourself."

After saying that, Chu Qingtian ignored Dai Huabin and thought to himself, "No wonder everyone says that the Dai family is hard to get along with. Dai Huabin and his brother Dai Yueheng are really the same kind of people!"

Upon hearing Chu Qingtian's words, Dai Huabin's fighting spirit not only didn't disappear, but intensified. In his view, Zhu Ziyang would definitely accept his challenge; they were both strong individuals, and strong individuals always respect each other! Dai Huabin was inexplicably confident.

On the lake, Zhu Ziyang naturally noticed the commotion around him, but he didn't care at all and continued, "I am twenty years old this year, a level 92 Power Attack Type Title Douluo, titled Jingtian."

"——"

Silence fell. The once bustling and noisy matchmaking event suddenly fell into an eerie silence. Almost everyone present stared blankly at Zhu Ziyang. Apart from Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, Qian Lingyi, and Wu Huan'er, who were close to him, it was probably only Tang Ya and the Tang Clan members, as well as Han Ruoruo, a prospective member of Tianyuan Pavilion, who knew this.

A majestic breeze swept across Lake Poseidon as everyone struggled to process this explosive news. A twenty-year-old Title Douluo—the impact of this news was truly terrifying. At least Dai Huabin, who had previously been so confident in challenging Zhu Ziyang, was now deflated. Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, and Qian Lingyi, observing the changes around them, wore expressions of genuine pride. Fifth Huan'er, however, looked at Zhu Ziyang with a somewhat enigmatic gaze.

The hosts, Dai Yueheng and Zhang Weiwei, exchanged a wry smile. Zhang Weiwei broke the silence by speaking, saying, "Ziyang, you've really surprised everyone with your words."

"Haha, Senior Sister Zhang, that's enough for me, I'm done." Zhu Ziyang smiled and turned back to his lotus leaf.

The assembly continued, but the vast majority of the Sea Goddesses' gazes were fixed on Zhu Ziyang. This left the fifth senior brother to appear feeling utterly helpless. Before going on stage, he said to Zhu Ziyang with a wry smile, "Ziyang, you've really put your senior brother through a lot of trouble!"

"Haha, senior brother, keep it up!" Zhu Ziyang could only express his deepest apologies and cheer him on with a smile.

On the ferry, the elders were all smiling broadly. Elder Xuan said, "Not bad, not bad, surprisingly no one lost their composure."

"After all, they are all the chosen ones of heaven. If they can't even withstand this kind of impact, then it would be too shameful," Old Lin echoed.

The boys who came after Zhu Ziyang were out of luck. No matter how brilliant or original their self-introductions were, they couldn't attract much attention from the girls. Many of the twenty-one girls were still reeling from the shock of Zhu Ziyang becoming a Title Douluo at the age of twenty.

Soon, more than half the people had made it, and it was Huo Yuhao's turn to appear as the thirteenth person.

Young Huo once again replicated Zhu Ziyang's entrance, using the advantage of his ice-attribute martial soul to stroll across the lake. With a hint of trepidation on his face, he began, "Hello everyone, my name is Huo Yuhao, I am seventeen years old, a dual-elemental battle soul king of control and power attack, and a level six soul master..."

"Wait, wait, Sister Weiwei, I don't quite understand. Can I ask him a question?" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a girl, who was none other than Wu Ming. She held up her hand, looking puzzled.

"Okay," Zhang Weiwei nodded helplessly, "but only this once!"

"Understood, understood!" Wu Ming readily agreed, then turned to Huo Yuhao and said, "Little brother, why do you have so many titles? Are you just giving yourself so many titles to attract girls? Control, offensive dual-type? How do you distinguish between them? Do you have two martial souls? And you're a level six soul master, only seventeen years old this year, an all-around warrior! Little brother, be honest!"

"I..." Wu Ming's words made Xiao Huo blush, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Senior sister, I do have two martial souls. My main martial soul is a control type, and my second martial soul is a power attack type. I also study the soul guidance type, so I am also a soul master. I just returned from an exchange program at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy a few days ago."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming's eyes lit up, and he said, "Twin Martial Souls! I see, I understand now. Little brother, you can continue."

"Uh..." Huo Yuhao was interrupted by Wu Ming while casting the spell and didn't know what to say. He could only look helplessly at Dai Yueheng and Zhang Weiwei and say, "Senior Sister Zhang, I'm done."

"Okay." Zhang Weiwei nodded in agreement, then gave Wu Ming a reproachful look. Wu Ming scratched his head sheepishly and smiled awkwardly.

After Huo Yuhao finished, a few more people went over, and then it was Bei Bei's turn. Because he had a clear goal, Bei Bei's self-introduction was very simple. There was no fancy performance. He just followed Zhu Ziyang's example and simply introduced his basic information, such as his name, age, and soul power.

"Greetings, fellow senior and junior sisters. My name is Bei Bei. I am twenty years old, a level sixty-seven Power Attack type Battle Soul Emperor, and my Martial Soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex," he said.

Soon, the boys' turn was coming to an end. The last one to introduce himself was Xu Sanshi. Because he had the same reason as Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, who usually liked to act cool, was surprisingly honest this time. He said, "Hello, ladies and sisters. My name is Xu Sanshi. I am twenty years old, a level 67 defensive-type Battle Soul Emperor, and my Martial Soul is the Xuanwu Shield."

This concludes the third stage, and the fourth stage begins.

"Very good," Dai Yueheng said with a smile, "Next, we will begin the fourth stage. After mutual appreciation, love at first sight, and love at second sight, it is time for our destiny to be sealed for three lifetimes. Therefore, our fourth stage is called 'Destined for Three Lifetimes'."

Zhang Weiwei picked up where Dai Yueheng left off and continued, "This segment is our turn, the Sea Goddesses. The Sea Goddesses will come out one by one. First, you need to introduce yourselves, and then choose a boy you like and go to his side."

Guys, please spread out a bit later. It's possible that some of you are so charming that you can attract more than one female student.

If any male participant is not favored by any female participant at the end of this segment, then, sorry, you will be leaving our matchmaking event.

The remaining people will proceed to the final step.

After listening to Dai Yueheng and Zhang Weiwei's explanation, the inner court disciples still on the field became nervous. The boys were naturally worried that no girl would choose them, which would be so embarrassing and mortifying. The girls, on the other hand, were more concerned that if they chose the same boy as another girl and that boy did not choose them, wouldn't that be even more shameful and embarrassing?

In short, a sense of tension began to spread among the boys and girls, and gradually connected them, making the entire venue filled with a feeling of tension. Even Zhu Ziyang, who was not usually nervous, was now a little nervous.

"Heh!" Zhang Weiwei couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Then let's not delay, let's begin!"

Oh, by the way, there's something for the three girls who are still wearing straw hats: when you introduce yourselves later, you can choose to take off your hats and reveal your true faces.

If you don't show up or give any hints during this stage, then in the final stage, unless the boy confirms that he has chosen you, you will not be able to take off your hats until the end of the event.

Now, please let girl number one introduce herself and make your selection.
