Compared to Yu Tianhuang, any genius would seem mediocre.
Judging from the change in Wu Ming's emotions, Xu Zihuang had anticipated this situation and was not surprised by it.
Wu Ming looked Xu Zihuang, Ye Guyi, and Ning Tian up and down, a playful smile in her eyes.
"Tianhuang, you should be well aware of my situation. Regardless of whether you choose me or not, I will issue a challenge."
She did indeed have strong feelings for Yu Tianhuang, and she believed that if he truly chose her, she wouldn't feel any repulsion deep down. Often, Soul Masters think differently from ordinary people, especially when it comes to choosing a future partner.
Soul Masters, as the most prestigious profession on the continent, have always been extremely proud. This is especially true of the inner disciples of Shrek Academy, who are the elite of the elite, outstanding among the younger generation of Soul Masters. To make them set aside their pride, the first step is to subdue them with sheer strength.
Shrek Academy is holding this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event precisely to provide such a platform and opportunity.
Yu Tianhuang undoubtedly achieved this. Moreover, the other conditions were equally perfect.
However, Wu Ming also knew that the chances of Yu Tianhuang choosing her were slim. She wouldn't dwell on this or worry about the outcome, as she was already mentally prepared. On the contrary, once she issued a challenge, regardless of who Yu Tianhuang ultimately chose, she would have the opportunity to challenge either Yu Tianhuang or Ye Guyi. This was also what she hoped for.
Another point is that Yu Tianhuang's presence helped her save face. In short, choosing Yu Tianhuang was a win-win-win situation for her.
Ning Tian noticed this as well, and with her smile undiminished, she nodded slightly to Wu Ming. She knew that quite a few female students at this year's Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event had designs on Yu Tianhuang, which was unavoidable. But Wu Ming was not the kind of person who could pose a threat to her.
Xu Zihuang said helplessly, "I hope that after this challenge, Senior Sister Wu can let me have some peace and quiet for a while."
"So confident?" Wu Ming asked with a smile, returning to her usual cheerful demeanor.
Xu Zihuang smiled without saying a word. Just then, a golden-red light flashed, and everyone's attention instantly focused on the sky.
It was Ma Xiaotao's turn.
Both women possessed fiery wings unfurling behind them, but unlike Wu Ming, Ma Xiaotao's phoenix wings were a deep golden-red. In terms of appearance, Ma Xiaotao surpassed Wu Ming, with a more exaggeratedly voluptuous figure. However, her face initially appeared cold, creating a stark contrast with her fiery physique and giving her a cold and aloof aura.
This is also the first impression people who don't know Ma Xiaotao will have when they see her.
Although the male students in the inner courtyard were also wary of Ma Xiaotao's fiery temper, they didn't react as dramatically when facing her as they had when facing Wu Ming. After all, Ma Xiaotao was only twenty-four years old, yet her soul power cultivation was almost catching up to that of the thirty-two-year-old Wu Ming. Her future achievements were limitless. She was also beautiful and had a great figure—all pluses.
Their only concern was their lack of confidence in their own strength and talent, fearing they wouldn't be able to subdue Ma Xiaotao. For male Soul Masters, having a future partner stronger than themselves was hardly a source of pride.
Ma Xiaotao's cheeks flushed slightly; her thoughts were actually the same as Wu Ming's. Moreover, compared to Wu Ming, she harbored a strange feeling towards Yu Tianhuang, the first man she had ever had intimate physical contact with.
However, she was not the kind of person who hesitated. Her pretty face flushed slightly, and with the phoenix wings behind her fluttering, she landed in front of Xu Zihuang.
"Choose me if you want. If you don't choose me, I'll take on the challenge just like Sister Ming'er did in the final round."
Wu Ming glanced at Ma Xiaotao, her smile widening, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Then he said to Xu Zihuang, "Tianhuang, I know you don't have a high chance of choosing me and Xiaotao. How about this? If you choose Ning Tian or the Bone Robe Junior who just entered our inner courtyard, to save trouble, let's have a two-on-two match. You two will be in one group, and Xiaotao and I will be in the other."
Before Xu Zihuang could answer, Ning Tian spoke first. His gentle smile held a hint of rivalry.
"I think Senior Wu's suggestion is good."
Over the years, Ning Tian has become less wary of Ma Xiaotao than she was at the beginning, but there's always been a hurdle in her heart. When she and Yu Tianhuang join forces to defeat Ma Xiaotao and Wu Ming, this hurdle will undoubtedly be largely eliminated.
She believed that with Yu Tianhuang's strength, coupled with the assistance of her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, he would be able to suppress Ma Xiaotao and Wu Ming.
Looking at the dazzling Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda in Ning Tian's hand, Ma Xiaotao felt it was blinding. But she didn't look at Ning Tian; instead, she stared directly at Xu Zihuang.
"I have no objection, as long as you agree."
Ye Guyi remained silent, observing coldly. She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Ma Xiaotao. While her impression of Ning Tian was relatively good, her affection for Ma Xiaotao was completely negative.
She never used that commanding tone to ask Xu Zihuang to do anything, so why should Ma Xiaotao?
When you have a prejudice against someone, you'll find everything about them disagreeable. Ye Guyi is in that situation now.
They say three women make a drama, and Xu Zihuang is now experiencing that firsthand. And there are more than three; they're practically a whole team of Soul Masters.
Excluding Jiang Nannan, who withdrew from this year's Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event, four out of the six female contestants who appeared chose Xu Zihuang. This is unprecedented in the history of the Poseidon's Fate Blind Date Event.
The next female student to appear, number eight, was also someone we knew.
This female student had long red hair and delicate features with little expression. However, her figure was exceptionally voluptuous, comparable to Ma Xiaotao's. Moreover, her martial soul aura shared many similarities with Ma Xiaotao's. She was none other than the Red Dragon Soul Master, Wu Feng.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, she took a firm step forward and slowly walked up to Xu Zihuang before stopping.
Everyone present, both male and female students, stared wide-eyed. This was already the fifth female student to choose Yu Tianhuang.
Those who knew the relationship between Yu Tianhuang, Ning Tian, and Wu Feng were even more puzzled.
Ning Tian's gaze also went blank as he stared at Wu Feng in disbelief.
"Fengmei, what are you doing?!"
Wu Feng bit his lip tightly, his eyes filled with a complex mix of resentment, despair, and hope, and remained silent.
She knew that the relationship between Ning Tian and Yu Tianhuang was already a done deal, and this was all the resistance she could offer in the end.
Zhang Lexuan whispered a few words to Han Ruoruo beside her, and then the sound of Zhang Lexuan injecting soul power echoed throughout the entire venue.
"Given Tianhuang's special circumstances, and for the sake of fairness at today's Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, I propose that Tianhuang proceed with the remaining stages first. All the girls will have the opportunity to choose him, but after this selection, you can continue to choose later. After all, no matter how outstanding Tianhuang is, he can only take away one of our Sea God Fairies."
Upon hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, the male and female trainees exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
"Any questions can be raised now."
After a moment of silence, not a single voice objected; everyone agreed with Zhang Lexuan's suggestion, especially the male trainees. In this fourth segment, "Destined for Each Other," the female trainees could only choose their favorite boy once. If they chose Yu Tianhuang, they couldn't choose anyone else. If this continued, their opportunities would only dwindle.
"Tianhuang, is there anything you want to say?"
Xu Zihuang shook his head calmly.
"Senior Sister, let's do it your way."
On the large boat on Lake Poseidon, Yan Shaozhe smiled and sighed, "Le Xuan's response was very timely. Given Tianhuang's excellence, this situation was to be expected. I always feel that I can see the shadow of my younger self in Tianhuang."
"Yan Shaozhe, stop flattering yourself." Xian Lin'er snorted coldly, showing no respect for Yan Shaozhe whatsoever.
"When will you be able to—"
However, before she could finish speaking, Old Song interrupted her.
"Lin'er!"
Elder Song is a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion whose seniority and strength are second only to Elder Xuan. He is also Xian Lin'er's mother.
Upon hearing her words, Xian Lin'er could only turn her head away with a cold face and say nothing more.
Seeing Yan Shaozhe's ugly expression, as if he had swallowed a fly, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but grin.
Old Yan, you're still as shameless as ever.
He couldn't agree more with Xian Lin'er's words. Although Yan Shaozhe was the most talented student in their class, he wasn't qualified to challenge Yu Tianhuang.
Elder Xuan watched silently with a smile on his face as everything unfolded on the dark red crystal surface.
"Alright. Since no one has raised any objections, let Tianhuang complete the remaining stages of this year's Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event."
Zhang Lexuan turned around and looked at the female students, saying, "This time, I'll give you three minutes to consider. It's clear that you all have a good impression of Tianhuang. After all, he's perfect in every way. However, there's one thing I must say. When a man is too outstanding, you need to consider whether you have the ability to attract him. Although there will be another opportunity to hold this year's Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, the male students will definitely notice your previous choice of Tianhuang. Therefore, please consider carefully, Sea Goddesses. Now, the three-minute countdown begins."
The female trainees fell into deep thought after hearing Zhang Lexuan's words. It's true that it's said that a woman pursuing a man is easy; as long as you're bold enough to pursue him, you'll have a chance. But that chance was clearly very slim.
Although Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan were a case of the boy pursuing the girl, their actions can still serve as a reference. Moreover, most of the female students are aware of the relationship between Yu Tianhuang and Ning Tian. If they were to actually do this, how they would interact afterward would also need to be considered.
Another point is that, putting aside Ma Xiaotao and Wu Ming, how many female students can truly consider themselves superior to Ning Tian and Ye Guyi? The most valuable thing about a person is to have self-awareness.
Three minutes passed quickly, and Han Ruoruo said, "Alright, time's up. Sea Goddesses, please make your choice."
It's unclear whether Zhang Lexuan's words had an effect, but surprisingly, not a single female student chose Yu Tianhuang anymore, a complete reversal from before.
Even if Zhang Lexuan hadn't made that suggestion, following the normal procedure, not many female trainees would have continued to choose Yu Tianhuang. Not every female trainee is as straightforward as Ma Xiaotao and Wu Ming.
Zhang Lexuan waited another minute, and seeing that no one had come forward yet, she smiled and spoke up.
"Since no female students are choosing Tianhuang anymore, then Tianhuang, the time is yours. It's time to make a choice."
Xu Zihuang nodded to Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, then slowly closed his eyes.
Ye Guyi and Ning Tian stood on his left and right sides respectively, while Wu Ming, Ma Xiaotao, and Wu Feng stood directly in front of him. The five had different thoughts, but without exception, their gazes were all fixed on Xu Zihuang.
With his eyes opening and closing, Xu Zihuang did something that left almost everyone present speechless.
He stretched out his hands and took the hands of Ye Guyi and Ning Tian at the same time.
The male trainees, including Beibei and He Caitou, looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Wow, is this guy trying to openly have his cake and eat it too?!" Someone exclaimed.
The female trainees were also greatly shocked.
Knowing beforehand, Zhang Lexuan saw Yu Tianhuang's serious expression and gave him a stern reminder.
"Tianhuang, according to the rules of the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, you can only take one Sea God Fairy with you."
Xu Zihuang held Ning Tian and Ye Guyi's hands tightly and said firmly.
"Senior Sister, this is my choice. They are all very important to me, and I will not abandon any of them."
Ye Guyi stared at Xu Zihuang, and of course she understood the meaning behind Xu Zihuang's words. She then raised her head to scrutinize Ning Tian.
Ning Tian was completely oblivious to Ye Guyi's gaze, as her attention was entirely focused on Xu Zihuang. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her light blue eyes were misty, and her chest heaved violently.
"Tianhuang, why?" Ning Tian's voice trembled slightly. This was the first time in all these years that she had questioned Yu Tianhuang like this.
Although Yu Tianhuang chose both her and Ye Guyi at the same time, she and Yu Tianhuang had spent so much time together, while Yu Tianhuang and Ye Guyi were only meeting for the first time.
She really lost too much.
Those familiar with Ning Tian know that in this state, Ning Tian has completely lost his composure.
Take Wu Feng, for example. She grasped at this last straw, her gaze burning with intensity. She finally saw hope in the breakdown of the relationship between Ning Tian and Yu Tianhuang.
Wu Ming, on the other hand, looked on with amusement, a smirk playing on her lips.
Ma Xiaotao's face turned slightly pale at this moment. She could understand Yu Tianhuang's choice of Ning Tian, but choosing Ye Guyi at the same time meant that she had also lost to Ye Guyi, whom Yu Tianhuang had just met.
But she wasn't too moved, and said calmly, "I've already said I would issue a challenge."
Ye Guyi, who was already in a bad mood, immediately gave a cold snort with an icy expression upon hearing Ma Xiaotao's words.
"You think you're so tough? I'll fight you!"
A golden light bloomed in Ye Guyi's eyes, and a divine aura emanated from her body, radiating outwards. Now, her body was like a dazzling golden sun, illuminating a space of nearly a thousand meters in radius as if it were daytime.
Two pairs of pure white angel wings appeared out of thin air behind her, and a total of seven spirit rings rose from beneath her feet.
Yellow! Yellow! Purple! Purple! Black! Black! Red!
With each new spirit ring, her aura would suddenly increase several degrees.
