Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

"Brother Ling, do you think my hair looks neat...?"

Two figures entered Shrek Academy from the east gate. Chu Qingtian hoped to shine brightly today, so he dragged Ling Bai straight to the most famous styling shop in Shrek City early in the morning and spent the whole day getting ready.

Ling Bai looked at Chu Qingtian's hair, which was so shiny from being treated with oil, and praised it without changing his expression: "Perfect."

As dusk fell, the island seemed to be enveloped in a captivating and enchanting atmosphere, likely due to the Sea God's Blind Date Festival.

As the two approached the Sea God Lake, Ling Bai saw that the lakeside was already filled with outer academy students, their young and energetic faces filled with anticipation.

When the students from the outer academy saw Ling Bai and Chu Qingtian in their red school uniforms, they instantly became excited and rushed forward to greet them warmly, expressing their determination to cheer them on that night and wishing the two of them success in winning the hearts of their beloved.

The two thanked each other with smiles and crossed Seagod Lake towards Seagod Island. Ling Bai asked Chu Qingtian, "I remember that outer court disciples weren't allowed to observe the Seagod's Fate event before. Has that changed this year?"

"Yes, Dean Yan personally gave the order," Chu Qingtian said. "This time, the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event allows the outer academy to watch in order to encourage them to work hard in their cultivation and join the inner academy."

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer students in the inner academy. In Bei Bei's year, there were only four people in the martial spirit department and the soul guidance department combined.

The next cohort was completely cut off, but fortunately, Ning's cohort was full of talented students, making up for the loss from the previous year.

"There are several core disciples in the outer academy every year, how could there be a break in the generation?" Ling Bai wondered.

Chu Qingtian sighed: "It was all because of the Seven Devils reserve team selection for the outer academy during the last Soul Master Competition."

Although there is no explicit rule that the winner of the Grand Melee Selection Tournament will represent the academy in the Soul Master Tournament, this has been the case for thousands of years and has become a tacit unspoken rule.

This time, four of the winners were replaced. Let alone the juniors from the School of Foreign Languages, even I would be heartbroken!

Let's talk about this in secret. Actually, the inner court's teaching isn't any more refined or profound than the outer court's. Plus, they have to take on the supervisory duties. Most of the outer court disciples have powerful backgrounds, so why would they want to suffer in the inner court? That's why they all go home after graduating from the outer court.

Ling Bai smiled faintly, "It seems Dean Yan is really anxious, using the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event as a gimmick. Love is exactly the beautiful thing that young people yearn for."

Disappointment accumulates gradually. The students of the outer academy can't afford to mess with Shrek Academy, but they can at least avoid it.

Now that news of Jianmu Douluo breaking through to the Limit Douluo level has spread, coupled with Lin Jiaran and a large stack of level nine soul tool blueprints, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is bound to enter a period of rapid development and will need a large number of talents. If we don't poach them now, when will we ever get another chance?

The two stepped onto Poseidon Island and arrived at the gathering point for the male participants of the Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event. Ling Bai saw many familiar faces, including Yao Haoxuan, Gongyang Mo, Gu Fan, Huo Yuhao, Xu Sanshi, and Cai Tou, among others...

There were very few recreational activities in the inner courtyard, and the bachelors were full of expectations for the Sea God's Fate. They craned their necks to look at the Sea God's Lake, but the lake was pitch black, and everything was covered by a misty fog.

The wolves grew increasingly impatient as they waited. Suddenly, a large ship appeared in the distance, brightly lit, carrying the elders of the Sea God Pavilion and Shrek Academy's teacher.

At the same time, eighteen pale golden beams of light emanated from the Sea God Lake. On each beam stood a woman in a long white dress, wearing a bamboo hat and a three-foot-long white veil that concealed her face.

Bathed in a pale golden light, they resembled fairies on a lake. Their ethereal beauty elicited excited shouts from the students of the outer academy, who seemed to yearn to participate in the Sea God's Fate event and marry one of the senior students, living happily ever after.

Seeing this, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, led by Elder Xuan, smiled frequently, their gazes towards Yan Shaozhe filled with satisfaction. After all, he was a master of human nature, perfectly grasping the psychology of young people.

Two figures appeared between the man and woman: Bei Bei, the host of the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, and Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan wore a pale yellow dress, her smile gentle and graceful, her voice carrying far and wide: "Sea God's fate on Sea God Lake, Shrek Academy for ten thousand years, love is sealed in one day!"

The annual Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event is now beginning! We wish everyone success in finding their soulmate, and welcome all junior students, senior students, and teachers to the event!

Zhang Lexuan bowed deeply to the ferry boat, and the teachers waved to the students, instantly making the atmosphere even more enthusiastic, with waves of voices lasting for a long time.

Beibei then chimed in: "Attention all male participants of the Sea God's Fate event: the first thing is the warm-up session."

Forty beams of light will appear shortly. Regardless of the method used, landing on a water lily leaf where the beam is located will secure a spot. The boy closest to the Sea Fairy will have priority in interacting with her.

Zhang Lexuan laughed and said, "Friendly reminder to all the boys and girls: please do not fall into the water, otherwise you will be disqualified from the event according to the rules."

Three, two, one, go!

"boom--"

Forty male students soared into the air, each displaying their unique abilities, their five-colored soul rings—white, yellow, purple, black, and red—radiating light like dazzling fireworks suddenly exploding on the lakeside.

"Red...a 100,000-year soul ring!"

The students from the outer academy stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the golden figure that had emerged from the crowd.

In this segment, Ling Bai was unparalleled, making full use of the sky advantage of the six-winged angel. The dazzling light of the seven spirit rings—yellow, purple, black, red, and yellow—instantly captured everyone's attention.

The emerald green water lilies floating on the lake were very conspicuous. Ling Bai locked onto the first leaf, knowing that with his abilities, there was no need for him to hide his skills.

"Hehe, watch this!"

Stepping on the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield, Xu Sanshi slowly landed at the back, revealing a cunning smile. His fourth soul ring flashed, and he activated Xuanming Replacement!

The two switched positions, and Xu Sanshi used this skill to trick countless people. Today, he planned to confess his feelings to Jiang Nannan for the Nth time, having long coveted the first water lily leaf.

Ever since he heard that Ling Bai was participating in the Sea God's Fate Tournament, Xu Sanshi had already come up with a plan. He wanted to take advantage of Ling Bai's unpreparedness to switch places with him. After all, the six-winged angel was ridiculously fast, and even if he was a little late, he would definitely be able to enter the upper half of the tournament!

For Jiang Nannan, Xu was willing to go all out!

"Buzz—"

Reality dealt Xu Sanshi a heavy blow. Xuanming Replacement locks onto the target through mental and soul power, but the moment he made contact with Ling Bai, a strong golden light burst forth, as if an incomparably sharp sword had severed the bridge built by Xuanming Replacement.

Ling Bai landed steadily on the first water lily leaf, pointed his fingers like a sword, and a holy sword aura shot out, piercing the Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield and pinning it directly to the lake surface.

Xu Sanshi's face turned bright red. He tried to break free several times but failed. He could only shout and beg for mercy, "Long time no see! I was just joking with you, big brother. Don't be angry. I'll never do it again!"

"Crunch, crunch..."

One of the girls clenched her fists. How could he be so shameless!

"If you come to the end, I might consider kidnapping you as the bride."

Upon hearing Ling Bai's words, Xu Sanshi realized his plan had backfired and, with a long face, obediently went to the last-ranked water lily.

Having witnessed Ling Bai's strength just now, he realized he was no match for him. If Ling Bai were to actually try to steal Jiang Nannan from him, he'd probably die of depression.

After the warm-up session, Ling Bai was in first place, followed closely by Gu Fan. With his Soul Saint cultivation and Azure Sky Sparrow's flying ability, Ling Bai had a significant advantage. The two exchanged encouraging smiles.

"Now we'll begin the first segment of the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event: Mutual Appreciation." Zhang Lexuan controlled the pace. "Junior Brother Ling Bai, you'll start."

As the angel's six wings unfurled, Ling Bai floated into the air. During the warm-up session, the outer court students were dazzled by the sights, and many only noticed the two terrifying blood-red 100,000-year soul rings, without taking a close look at Ling Bai's appearance.

Ling Bai stepped forward alone, and in an instant, he heard a chorus of cries.

The moon hangs in the western sky, standing out from the crowd like a crane among chickens. Its figure is slender and tall, with bright golden eyes, like a clear spring flowing gently, rippling with a radiant glow in the lazy night breeze.

The outer courtyard girls clutched their chests to prevent their unruly hearts from bursting out, while the inner courtyard seniors were not to be outdone, their red lips involuntarily parting slightly as they exclaimed in surprise.

Although most of them were familiar with Ling Bai, the two years from fifteen to seventeen years old were a period of rapid growth for a Soul Master, and with the influence of Soul Rings and Soul Bones, Ling Bai's changes were also enormous.

His handsome appearance remained flawless, but compared to the past, he had lost his gentleness and languor, and gained arrogance and aloofness. It seemed that the six-winged angel ultimately did not belong to the human world, and he would return to the vast and boundless sky.

Ling Bai didn't care about what others thought and stopped in front of the eighteen women in white dresses lined up in a row.

Six-winged angels don't have any special abilities like mental detection; they can only identify themselves by sight.

Ling Bai knew exactly whose straw hat he was removing; he had his own method of discernment.

With a quick glance, Ling Bai locked onto the third figure from left to right.

Seeing Ling Bai approaching through the veil, the female student standing on the water lily trembled slightly. The next second, her long, smooth, golden-red hair was lifted by the veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that combined coldness and allure.

The Evil Phoenix, Ma Xiaotao.

Wearing a white dress, Ma Xiaotao's usually fiery temper seemed to have softened, a gentle warmth emanating from her, making her appear exceptionally warm. Her rosy lips curved upwards as she spoke:

"Not bad, I thought you'd forgotten about me in Mingdu."

"I can't forget it."

Big Thunder, easy to recognize.

They were each other's first in terms of physical intimacy. Ling Bai had personally measured them hundreds of times, and Ma Xiaotao was indeed exceptionally gifted, with a talent that stood out among the eighteen Shrek girls.

Continuing to fly to the right, Ling Bai quickly found his next target: Wu Feng, whose fiery talent was second only to Ma Xiaotao's.

As she reached out, Wu Feng's toes touched the center of the water lily on the leaf. As her white dress fluttered, her right leg rose high and slashed down towards Ling Bai's shoulder.

With one hand, Ling Bai easily caught Wu Feng's downward kick, while with the other hand, he grabbed the veil and pulled it back, tearing the veil and hat together.

At this moment, Wu Feng's pretty face was flushed with annoyance, and her beautiful eyes were full of resentment, clearly dissatisfied with Ling Bai taking off Ma Xiaotao's straw hat.

Under normal circumstances, mutual appreciation is actually a test between the man and woman. If a man is willing to take off someone's hat, it means he has feelings for her, and the same applies to the degree of resistance a woman shows.

Ling Bai immediately picked Ma Xiaotao's peach, and Ma Xiaotao did not resist. In Wu Feng's opinion, the two of them had come clean!

Setting down Wu Feng's long legs, Ling Bai moved toward the woman beside her, who was naturally Ning Tian under the bamboo hat.

Her exquisite and noble face appeared even more beautiful under the pale golden light emitted by the water lilies. Ning Tian's temperament was far superior to Wu Feng's. He smiled at Ling Bai, a smile that was flawless. He only turned his head to look at her after Ling Bai left.

Noticing Ning Tian's gaze, Ma Xiaotao silently glanced to the side. The two women's eyes met in mid-air, creating a subtle atmosphere.

Finally, Ling Bai arrived in front of Han Ruoruo and, under Wu Ming's gritted-teeth gaze, successfully removed Han Ruoruo's bamboo hat.

"You look beautiful tonight, senior sister."

"Thanks."

Han Ruoruo pursed her red lips, her eyes clear and bright. According to the bet, she would choose Ling Bai in the final round.

Under the guise of being a senior female student, she showed the care of a lover and claimed to be siblings, but in reality, she had already fallen in love with him.

After sensing Ling Bai's thoughts, she suddenly felt less pressured. At least she had been brave and had no regrets.

Ma Xiaotao, Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, Han Ruoruo.

After removing the four women's hats, Ling Bai was about to return to the Water Lily when a seductive voice came from behind him.

Aren't you going to pick mine?

The voice was like tiny hands constantly plucking at one's heartstrings; without even seeing her face, one could tell she was an absolute beauty. The young students from the outer courtyard felt their desire surge and their faces flushed, while the boys from the inner courtyard looked wary and whispered among themselves:

"Dugu Lin..."

"The Deadly Snake Woman..."

"This is truly deadly..."

Ling Bai did not turn around. He would not let go of the woman who took off her hat, and Dugu Lin was far from that level.

"It's okay, I can do it myself."

Being rejected was nothing to Dugu Lin. Smiling, she removed her bamboo hat, revealing her beautiful and alluring face. She even spoke to Zhang Lexuan with great interest:

"Senior Sister, since I came here voluntarily, shouldn't it be considered that Ling Bai took the blame?"

"Yes," Zhang Lexuan nodded. "During his appearance time, any straw hat that was removed belonged to him. Ling Bai's final score was five straw hats, a great start for this year's Sea God's Fate competition. The other boys need to work harder!"

Unnoticed by anyone, a fair hand rested on the edge of its straw hat, then sighed softly and fell back down.

As soon as Ling Bai stood on the water lily, he immediately felt pairs of eyes radiating fiery passion. The boys around him were so envious and jealous they were practically on fire.

There were eighteen girls and forty boys, far more wolves than sheep, and five girls were clearly infatuated with one person. If they didn't know they couldn't beat Ling Bai, they would have loved to give him a "loveless cannonball".

One after another, the boys from the inner courtyard took turns trying to win over the girls, but the encounters quickly ended with them showing mutual respect. Not many boys succeeded, and four others unfortunately fell into the lake and lost their chance.

But even after the mutual appreciation ended, two girls were still wearing straw hats.

The friendly atmosphere beforehand completely stirred the emotions of the inner court students, and the outer court students were also very excited. The super handsome guy and five beautiful girls—they seemed to sense the impending battleground, and couldn't help but shout in their hearts:

Fight!Fight!

They love watching the female students fight!

The second round required a reshuffling of positions, with the rankings based on the number of female trainees' hats removed in the first round. Ling Bai, with five hats removed, rightfully took first place.

In this timeline, Huo Yuhao didn't have the groundwork laid by the Snow Maiden and the Light of the Rainbow, and He Caitou didn't have the experience of the Soul Master Competition with Xiao Xiao. The two brothers participated in the competition with the aim of broadening their horizons and did not use those methods.

He Caitou removed a bamboo hat, while Huo Yuhao, having no target, didn't remove any.

Beibei said loudly, "After getting to know each other in the first stage, the next step, 'love at first sight,' is the moment for the girls to express their feelings for the person they like."

Female trainees will receive a switch that controls the soul-guiding lamp beneath them. Male trainees who receive a lamp from a female trainee can continue participating in the Sea God's Fate event. If no female trainee leaves a lamp, then the Sea God's Fate journey will unfortunately end.

Zhang Lexuan said with a smile, "The love at first sight begins now. First, please, all the sea goddess fairies, leave your lamps lit for Ling Bai."

Ling Bai stared at the eighteen lanterns opposite him, none of which had been extinguished for a long time, and he subconsciously paused for half a second.

Wait a minute, it seems like my house collapsed?

What's going on here?!

"brush!"

Finally, one of the lights went out.

One of the two girls wearing straw hats.

Final score: seventeen.

"Didn't they all say that my godfather was a scumbag?" Yao Haoxuan said with heartache upon seeing this. "How come they all left their lights on at Sea God's Fate?"

These two-faced women!!!

"Nannan, Nannan..."

Xu Sanshi looked at Jiang Nannan, who had left the light on, and felt like crying.

In fact, Jiang Nannan was very pleased because Ling Bai had targeted Xu Sanshi, so she left a light on.

"Ming'er, haven't you always disliked him? Why did you leave the light on?" Han Ruoruo asked curiously.

"I'm afraid he'll embarrass you by not having enough lights."

Wu Ming stubbornly explained, then turned to the female student next to her and asked, "Yun'er, why did you leave your light on for Ling Bai? You're always the one calling him a scumbag!"

Yun'er stood on tiptoe, staring intently at Ling Bai, her face flushed with pink bubbles: "Scumbags are like junk food, unhealthy but delicious!"

His feelings were fake, but my happiness was real!

The key is that he's both handsome and strong. I can't even imagine how adorable Ling would be if he fell for me and racked his brains to trick me into getting cleaned up! (End of Chapter)
