The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Xu Zihuang naturally took first place. Following him were Xu Sanshi and Ye Liu.

The two, birds of a feather, were conversing quietly, occasional smiles playing on their lips. Unlike Xu Sanshi's outward lewdness, Ye Liu was the typical repressed pervert. His martial spirit was a swan, quite handsome and elegant. In reality, his filthy thoughts were no less than Xu Sanshi's.

Noticing Xu Zihuang's gaze, the two exchanged glances again.

Beibei and He Caitou only occupied the center position in the first row. However, considering that many senior students in the inner courtyard had cultivation levels higher than them, this ranking was quite good.

Of course, He Caitou still relied on the assistance of his soul tool. He used the soul propulsion device to accelerate, and then used the flight soul tool to stabilize himself. The two brothers were also positioned next to each other.

The water lily leaves are very eye-catching on the lake surface. The leaves are fresh and vibrant, and the surrounding white light makes them look exceptionally enchanting.

By this time, everyone had settled down.

Han Ruoruo said in a clear voice, "The matchmaking event is divided into five parts. Is everyone ready? I want to emphasize again that once you fall into the water, you will be eliminated regardless of whether you are male or female."

After saying this, she and Zhang Lexuan beside her exchanged a glance.

Zhang Lexuan looked at the male student from the inner courtyard who occupied the water lily leaf with a gentle smile.

"Alright, let's begin the first segment. Mutual respect. Starting from the left side of the first row, every male student can give full play to their abilities. However, don't go too far, otherwise, if a female student can't help but make a move on you, Ruoruo and I will have to pretend we didn't see it."

"Tianhuang, are you ready?"

All eyes were on Xu Zihuang. And it wasn't just because of his outstanding looks and demeanor. His ability to outshine all the male students in the inner courtyard and claim the first water lily leaf spoke volumes.

Xu Zihuang nodded to Zhang Lexuan to indicate that he was fine.

Before Xu Zihuang could take any action, Xu Sanshi nervously said, "Tianhuang, you can do whatever you want, but you must keep Nannan's veil for me."

He knew Yu Tianhuang's strength all too well. If Yu Tianhuang wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult for him to unveil the faces of all the female students in the inner courtyard.

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Xu, you know my situation." Xu Zihuang chuckled, which greatly reassured Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi chuckled and rubbed his hands together, continuing to search for Jiang Nannan's figure on the other side, completely unaware of Xu Zihuang's inner turmoil.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xu Zihuang soared into the air and gracefully approached the female student.

"Flying through the air?! A Soul Saint?!" Apart from a very few people like Ye Guyi and Ning Tian who knew about Xu Zihuang's special circumstances, most of the inner court disciples present showed expressions of shock.

Ye Liu asked Xu Sanshi beside her in disbelief, "When did Tianhuang break through to the Soul Saint realm?!"

"I don't know either," Xu Sanshi said, grumbling.

"A seventeen-year-old Soul Saint? Does Tianhuang even want any other person to live?"

The same question arose in the minds of others, especially the female students opposite them, whose eyes all showed a strange light.

His inner soul power surged forth, propelling his body. Xu Zihuang was bathed in a dazzling golden light, which complemented his deep purple eyes and the few strands of purple hair in his long locks, exuding an air of nobility. His eyes were as deep as the vast starry sky, captivating all who looked upon them. His flawless face stirred the hearts of the female students.

"Good!" After a brief moment of stunned silence, some of the male students began to cheer. Those who could become inner disciples of Shrek Academy were all elites among the younger generation of Soul Masters, possessing both exceptional talent and temperament.

It's not to the point that she harbors jealousy towards Xu Zihuang or has any dark thoughts. Besides, being on good terms with a genius soul master like Yu Tianhuang would be very beneficial to her future development.

Xu Zihuang's flight speed wasn't fast, but covering a hundred meters was only a fleeting moment. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the female student. Judging from his trajectory, he seemed to be heading straight for the center.

Beneath the veil, Ning Tian gazed at Xu Zihuang with tender eyes. Unbeknownst to her, Ye Guyi beside her felt the same way. Unlike Ning Tian, ​​Ye Guyi's lips curved into a subtle smile, a hint of amusement in her expression.

However, Xu Zihuang then did something that Ning Tian never expected.

Just as Yu Tianhuang was about to meet Ning Tian, ​​he suddenly turned around and stood in front of the female student next to him. This sudden change made Ning Tian feel a tightness in his chest and a stinging sensation in his nose. Feelings of confusion and grievance intertwined in his heart.

She knew that with Yu Tianhuang's abilities, it was impossible for him not to recognize her. But if he did recognize her, why did he do this?

Ning Tian bit her red lips, staring intently at Xu Zihuang's profile. From childhood, she had been a pampered princess, adored by countless people, and at Shrek Academy, she met Yu Tianhuang, who captivated her heart. She always felt that she was blessed by heaven.

And now, for the first time, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of self-doubt.

But she didn't remain in this state for long. Out of trust in Yu Tianhuang and her own resentment, she firmly believed that Yu Tianhuang must have his own reasons for doing this.

Ye Guyi hadn't expected Xu Zihuang to choose her so readily. The feeling of being favored was intoxicating. While Ye Guyi was immersed in this favoritism, Xu Zihuang had already removed her veil, along with her bamboo hat.

Her long, flowing golden hair was lifted by the veil, then gently cascaded over her fragrant shoulders. Ye Gu Yi, dressed in a white long dress, revealed not a single inch of skin. Yet, the skin on her exquisitely beautiful face was as white as snow. Her straight nose and slightly slender phoenix eyes gave her an aura of both majesty and holiness. Her golden eyes reflected Xu Zi Huang's face, and the two gazed at each other.

Upon seeing Ye Guyi's appearance, both the male and female students were in an uproar.

In terms of appearance alone, Ye Guyi even surpasses Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo. Her noble and aloof temperament has an inexplicable attraction.

Moreover, they were certain that they had never seen Ye Guyi on Poseidon Island before.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and explained at the right moment, "Gu Yi was recently specially recruited into the Inner Academy. Although she hasn't been in the academy for long, she is still a member of our Inner Academy. That's why she participated in this year's Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event. It's a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other."

The explanation ended there. The male trainees became noticeably more excited and agitated.

Ye Guyi's pretty face remained expressionless. Noticing Ning Tian's gaze, she silently glanced to the side, and the two women's eyes met in mid-air, creating a subtle atmosphere.

During this time, Xu Zihuang came to Ning Tian's side and reached out to remove Ning Tian's veil and hat.

Both had blond hair. Ning Tian's hair color wasn't as pure as Ye Guyi's; it was more of a platinum blonde, with slightly curled ends. It was messy yet still beautiful.

Ning Tian's bright, aquamarine eyes shimmered with emotion. Although Yu Tianhuang did not explain her previous actions, her various emotions dissipated considerably the moment their eyes met, and she gave Xu Zihuang a sweet smile.

Having taken in everything that was happening before his eyes, He Caitou concealed the surprise in his eyes and returned to his honest and simple demeanor, asking Beibei beside him a question.

"Senior Brother Bei, do you know that senior girl?"

"This is my first time seeing her too. Judging from what Senior Sister said, it seems she entered the inner courtyard in the last few days."

Beibei shook her head, her gaze deep.

At the same time, Xu Zihuang returned to the water lily leaf.

Just as Xu Sanshi was about to ask a question, he heard Zhang Lexuan's voice.

"Next, San Shi, it's your turn."

"Yes, Senior Sister."

Xu Sanshi didn't care about any of that. He stretched his body and slid towards the female student while stepping on the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield.

"Nannan, I'm here!" The bitch shouted, and the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield suddenly accelerated.

He ultimately didn't dare to put his previous flirtatious talk with Ye Liu into action. After all, the two inner courtyard's most fiery and volatile demons, Ma Xiaotao and the Golden Crow Saintess Wu Ming, were both there. If he angered them, his Sea God's Fate matchmaking event today would probably be over.

Xu Sanshi had already locked onto his target, activating the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield to reach the third female student on the right. With a light tap of his toes, he actually intended to land directly on the water lily leaf where the female student was.

The female student standing on the water lily seemed to tremble slightly as she released her martial spirit.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black—five perfectly matched spirit rings emerged one after another from beneath her feet. Almost simultaneously, her fourth purple spirit ring shone brightly.

A dazzling, almost tangible golden light shielded the female student's body, and then instantly expanded outwards.

Although according to the rules of the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, female students cannot directly attack in the first round, they can retaliate once male students intrude into the cylindrical area of ​​the water lily.

The female student was Jiang Nannan. As Xu Sanshi approached, his hot, masculine breath washed over her, and she couldn't help but recall that night that she would never forget.

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 stretched out his limbs and bent over in a hugging motion. His face was pressed against the invincible golden shield, his features contorted. He spoke in a deep, resonant voice.

"Nannan, I love you, and I will never fight back or talk back."

Xu Sanshi's actions once again touched a nerve with Jiang Nannan. Trembling, the pain and humiliation Xu Sanshi had inflicted on her years ago surged through her mind.

"Get out of here!" Jiang Nannan screamed, her eyes bloodshot, as she swung her left leg out. A dense, dark light surged forth, then transformed into a black leopard shadow, slamming heavily into Xu Sanshi's abdomen.

This is the skill of her ten-thousand-year-old Ghostly Leopard's left leg soul bone.

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 Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield to catch himself.

In the end, it was Xu Zihuang who used his mental power to hold Xu Sanshi's body up, preventing him from falling into the lake and being eliminated.

Coming to his senses, Xu Sanshi felt his blood rush to his head, and he grimaced. Jiang Nannan was truly showing no mercy.

Suppressing the intense pain in his abdomen, Xu Sanshi glanced forlornly at Jiang Nannan. But he said nothing, his expression remaining resolute as he returned along the same path, resting on the Xuanming Tortoise Shell Shield.

"Thanks, Tianhuang."

Although Xu Sanshi was no different from before, Xu Zihuang could clearly sense the subtle changes in Xu Sanshi's emotions.

Next up was Ye Liu.

Ye Liu unfurled a pair of beautiful, pure white wings on his back. His figure was already very well-proportioned, and with the flapping of his wings, he gracefully flew towards the female student opposite him.

Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan's situations were rather unique. He showed no restraint whatsoever despite Xu Sanshi's miserable state. Just as they were about to arrive, his wings suddenly flapped violently towards the water's surface, and the seven spirit rings on his body shone brightly.

Accompanied by a howling sound, a strong wind suddenly arose on the originally calm surface of Poseidon Lake, creating a wave several meters high.

After doing all this, he climbed into the sky, a smug smile on his face.

"Wow—" Some of the male students started to cheer. If the female students were hit by the storm stirred up by Ye Liu, there was no need to imagine what would happen.

But at that moment, three clear, cold snorts rang out.

Xu Zihuang could tell that the three cold snorts belonged to Ma Xiaotao, Wu Ming, and Ye Guyi.

However, it was Ye Guyi who struck first. Strange fluctuations of soul power emanated from her left arm. The space within a radius of several kilometers instantly transformed into a crimson sea of ​​fire, as if one were in purgatory. Even the lake water showed a tendency to turn into lava.

The surging waves stirred up by Ye Liu were instantly vaporized. Ye Liu himself was filled with horror; his pristine white wings visibly charred black. The scorching heat relentlessly invaded his body, as if his soul were being burned, his consciousness blurring. It seemed that in the next moment, he would be reduced to ashes.

This is one of the soul skills attached to Ye Guyi's 100,000-year-old Fiery Apricot Blossom Left Arm Soul Bone: Lava Purgatory!

A powerful domain-type soul skill.

Ma Xiaotao and Wu Ming looked at Ye Guyi with surprise and doubt.

Noticing Ye Liu's miserable state, Zhang Lexuan quickly stopped her, saying, "Gu Yi, show mercy!"

Ye Guyi naturally wouldn't kill Ye Liu here, so following Zhang Lexuan's instructions, she withdrew her soul skill.

Unconscious, Ye Liu fell into the lake, looking utterly disheveled. Finally, Han Ruoruo intervened, using her martial spirit, the Golden Rope, to bind Ye Liu's body and carry him to the shore of Seagod Island.

This caused even the senior male students in the inner courtyard to lose their composure and swallow hard.

This new female student is way too fierce. Was that a domain-type soul skill just now?

But Ye Liu's thoughts were lewd, and no one thought Ye Guyi's actions were wrong.

The female students were also frequently glancing at Ye Guyi.

Especially the three women: Ma Xiaotao, Wu Ming, and Ning Tian.

Ma Xiaotao and Wu Ming had a pure admiration for Ye Guyi. Ye Guyi's temperament was just right for them. But unlike Wu Ming, Ma Xiaotao had been extremely concerned about Ye Guyi when Yu Tianhuang removed her veil, and some strange emotions had arisen in her heart.

Ning Tian, ​​who felt slightly more at ease, suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis again.

"A fire-attribute domain-type soul skill? And a soul skill of the 100,000-year level." On the ferry, Elder Xuan immediately discerned the key point.
