Peerless Douluo: Blood of the Black King Nidhogg!

Chapter 191 But for Your Sake (4)

"Ming'er, you're number two, it's your turn," Zhang Lexuan said with a smile to Wu Ming, who was second in line.

"Okay." Wu Ming nodded and stepped out of the queue.

Most male students held Wu Ming, the renowned Golden Crow Saintess and one of the two active volcanoes of the inner courtyard, in high esteem, fearing that they might inadvertently offend this active volcano.

Therefore, when Wu Ming looked at them, almost all the male students turned their heads away and looked at the stars in the sky, as if they wanted to see something amazing in them.

Wu Ming was already used to their reactions. Although her appearance could be described as stunning, especially her figure, which was similar to Ma Xiaotao's, with curves and a graceful figure.

However, her temper is indeed something that most people of the opposite sex can't accept. After all, a tigress is a headache no matter what world she's in. Of course, if someone is a masochist, that's another story.

Wu Ming gritted her teeth, glared fiercely at the male trainees who were avoiding her gaze, and then began her self-introduction.

"My name is Wu Ming, and I am thirty-two years old. I am probably the oldest among all the female trainees. There's nothing I can do about it; I have a bad temper and am very strong, so it's normal for most people to be afraid of me."

"My criteria for choosing a partner are very simple: first, he must be handsome; second, he must be strong. Okay, that's all I have to say."

Wu Ming proudly looked up at all the male students. After she said this, the few male students who still insisted on not looking away, thinking that they could be "Wu Song", couldn't help but twitch their lips and lower their heads, feeling afraid of being stared at by her.

The only one who remained unchanged from beginning to end was Mo Yuan, who stood at the very front.

Looking at Mo Yuan, who stood out from the crowd, Wu Ming's faint bitterness vanished instantly, and a confident smile bloomed on her face.

"I'm not Junior Sister Xiao Tao. Don't forget, there's still the bride-snatching part at the end." Wu Ming turned her head and gave her best friend Han Ruoruo a meaningful smile. Then, she flapped her golden crow wings and landed to the left of Mo Yuan, facing Ye Guyi across the air.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ye, but I've also taken a liking to your man." Wu Ming slightly raised her chin, her eyes burning as she looked at Mo Yuan, as if flames were leaping within them. "I will participate in the final wedding snatching segment. I hope Junior Mo Yuan can protect himself then."

"It's my good fortune to be chosen by Senior Sister Wu Ming." Mo Yuan said with a gentle smile.

Wu Ming was taken aback at first, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly, a touch of tenderness appearing in her beautiful eyes. This was the first time since she enrolled at Shrek Academy that a member of the opposite sex had spoken to her like this.

The "Predestined Love" contest continues. Apart from the female students who already had someone they liked and chose the male students, most of the other female students glanced regretfully at Mo Yuan, who was sandwiched between Ye Guyi and Wu Ming, and then chose to withdraw.

Ning Tian and Han Ruoruo's choice was no surprise. After simply introducing themselves and their ages, they arrived at the water lily leaf where Mo Yuan was standing.

Unlike Ye Guyi and Wu Ming, who were on the verge of attacking at the slightest provocation, Ning Tian and Han Ruoruo simply stood quietly beside Mo Yuan.

"Ling Luochen".

A melodious female voice, clear and cool like the moon, spread across the lake. Ling Luochen walked slowly on the water, ice crystals forming as he stepped, each step creating a lotus flower.

She approached Mo Yuan, raised her head, and her eyes were devoid of any emotion, only the usual indifference remained.

"Let's have a fight, and I'll see how far you've come in the past year."

“Okay.” Mo Yuan didn’t show any surprise, he just nodded slightly.

The remaining male students, who were still watching the show, were completely stunned by the sight of the five women beside Mo Yuan, each with a different temperament but all stunningly beautiful.

Dude, are you a succubus?!
They haven't forgotten that there was Ma Xiaotao who was rejected and withdrew earlier!
But to be honest, although these male trainees were so envious they were practically spitting blood, they didn't feel any resentment.

After all, Mo Yuan is indeed flawless in every way. If Mo Yuan were a woman, they would be hundreds of times more crazy than these female students. They would not only pursue her actively, but they would even kneel down and call her "Mom".

"Hey buddy, do you know if Senior Mo Yuan has any other family members? Like a sister or something?" A male student asked curiously, rubbing his hands together, his eyes full of anticipation.

"What? You hate that you're not a girl, so you're eyeing Mo Yuan's sister?" another male student said. "Although I have the same thought, as far as I know, Mo Yuan doesn't seem to have any living relatives."

"Besides, even if Senior Mo Yuan really has a younger sister who was lost away, would you still dare to have those kinds of thoughts? Aren't you afraid that Senior Mo Yuan will slap you to death?"

"Yeah...yes." The male student scratched his head guiltily, cold sweat pouring down his back.

Suddenly someone said something that made the other male trainees' anuses tighten instantly.

"Speaking of which, I'd really like to ask Senior Mo Yuan if he'd be willing to trade his ugly parts for fragrant money."

……

With the last female contestant choosing to withdraw, the third segment, "Destined for Three Lifetimes," came to a complete end. However, the male contestants watching the excitement from the lakeside, who had not been selected, did not lose their enthusiasm or show any disappointment; instead, they became even more excited.

Besides the three traditional parts, there's also the most exciting and popular part: the bride kidnapping.

"Fight! Fight!" The crowd couldn't help but shout in their hearts as they looked at the five women surrounding Mo Yuan.

"The third stage, 'Destined for Three Lifetimes,' has ended. Now the situation has reversed, and the choice is in the hands of the male trainees," Zhang Lexuan said with a smile, clearly showing her great interest in the upcoming "bride-snatching" segment.
"Male trainees can ultimately decide which girl they want to choose. If you choose the girl in front of you and there are no other competitors, then congratulations, you will be able to get married and be together. However, if there are competitors, we will have to enter the bride-kissing stage. Conversely, female trainees can also challenge male trainees."

“Now the order will be determined based on the male students’ draw numbers,” Zhang Lexuan said to Mo Yuan. “Junior Mo Yuan, it’s your turn to make the decision.”

“Okay.” Mo Yuan nodded and looked at the five women surrounding him, his gaze sweeping over Ning Tian, ​​Han Ruoruo, Ye Guyi, Ling Luochen, and Wu Ming.

Finally, he reached out and pulled up Ning Tian, ​​Ye Guyi, and Han Ruoruo's right hands together, their four hands intertwined. Seeing Mo Yuan's action, the onlookers were instantly dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered glances.

"Huh? Three? Dude, isn't this a multiple-choice question? How can it be like this?!" a male student asked in confusion.

Unlike the shocked crowd, those familiar with Mo Yuan, such as Xu Sanshi, showed no reaction whatsoever, even displaying an expression of 'I knew it'.

According to the rules, or rather, the unspoken rules, it is not allowed to choose multiple opposite sexes at the same time in the Sea God's Fate, but who is Mo Yuan?

If you talk to him about rules, he'll start talking to you about principles, the principles of physics.

Moreover, even if there are rules, they are set by the Sea God Pavilion, and what about Mo Yuan? Now the Sea God Pavilion is his personal fiefdom, so even if there are such rules, they will disappear the moment he makes his choice.

Ultimately, Douluo Continent is a world where might makes right. If you are strong, you are right. If there are still people who object, it means your fist is not big enough.

“Alright, Junior Brother Mo Yuan has made his choice,” Zhang Lexuan said with her smile unchanged. She was not surprised by Mo Yuan’s choice, nor did she have any other thoughts. After all, Ning Tian and the others had no objections, so she had even less to say.

"If no one tries to steal the bride, then we wish them a long and happy marriage."

"I'm going to steal the bride!" Wu Ming stepped forward as soon as Zhang Lexuan finished speaking. She stared at Mo Yuan, her eyes filled with fighting spirit. "Since we can't be partners, let's fight! Let me see just how strong you are, Junior Mo Yuan!"

Ling Luochen didn't say a word, but silently took a step forward.

"Where are the boys? Anyone want to steal the bride?" Zhang Lexuan asked with a smile as she watched the male students watching the show.

"No, no! Senior Mo Yuan and his wife are a perfect match, how could we monsters have the right to interfere or try to steal them away..."

The male students shook their heads like rattles. They were all asking for trouble; they'd be crazy to try and steal Mo Yuan's bride. If it really came down to a fight, they'd probably have a 90/10 chance against Mo Yuan.

With one punch from Mo Yuan, they were sent to the netherworld.

"Alright then, let's move on to the final stage: the bride-snatching battle!" Zhang Lexuan shouted. "Ling Luochen and Wu Ming will face off against Mo Yuan!"

Before the words were even finished, Ling Luochen and Wu Ming, the challengers, exchanged a glance and then simultaneously leaped into the air.

Six spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, rose one by one from beneath Ling Luochen's feet. A cold wind carried snowflakes as they drifted down from the deep night sky. His white robes fluttered, and his graceful figure was so stunning that everyone was momentarily stunned.

Ling Luochen gazed deeply into Mo Yuan's eyes, which were filled with complex emotions, as he stood opposite her, his feet treading on the void. Then she closed her eyes, and a tear silently slid down her cheek, instantly freezing into a crystal-clear ice crystal that shone like a diamond.

The blizzard descended silently, the cold wind like knives and the frost like swords. Even from a distance, the low temperature made some of the students watching on the lakeshore shiver.

Unlike the quietness on Ling Luochen's side, the commotion on Wu Ming's side was earth-shattering.

A pair of golden crow wings unfolded behind Wu Ming, and the seven best spirit rings under his feet moved rhythmically. Brilliant golden flames erupted like a volcanic eruption, and waves of heat swept in all directions, causing lake water to boil and white mist to swirl wherever they passed.

"The seventh soul skill, martial soul true form!"

As Wu Ming's soft shout fell, the legendary creature that only existed in mythology—the Golden Crow—condensed in the brilliant golden flames and descended with unparalleled majesty amidst a loud phoenix cry!
As the Golden Crow appeared, many students with bird-type martial souls couldn't help but clutch their chests and let out a muffled groan—this was the absolute suppression from a superior martial soul.

Looking at Wu Ming, who resembled a queen of fire, the students who were initially confused and didn't know why the senior students in the inner academy were so afraid of her finally realized what was going on.

That's true. If it were them, they would do the same. After all, if a girl is just short-tempered, they can try to suppress her with their strength. But if the girl is stronger, the only thing they can do is probably turn away and leave.

On the ferry, all the elders couldn't help but stand up, staring intently at the three people confronting each other high in the sky.

Although Mo Yuan can now be described as a prodigy, he has not made a move since returning to the academy, and his true strength remains a mystery.

But things are different now. Facing Wu Ming and Ling Luochen, who are working together to launch a full-scale attack, Xuanzi and the others believe that this time they should be able to get Mo Yuan to get serious. At the very least, he should use a 100,000-year soul ring, right?

Just as everyone was watching, the battle was about to break out. A blizzard, carrying countless snowflakes like swords, swept towards Mo Yuan, freezing the lake water wherever the storm passed.

Wu Ming, arriving late but arriving early, unleashed a massive, golden flame that, after being continuously compressed, transformed into an even more terrifying golden-red flame. This giant pillar of fire, several meters in diameter, hurtled towards Mo Yuan. Under the intense heat of this horrific flame, even the void itself became distorted, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.

However, Mo Yuan remained calm and composed in the face of these two attacks, which were enough to severely injure an ordinary Soul Douluo powerhouse.

He ignited his golden eyes, allowing the majesty of a monarch to descend upon the world once more. Then, he lit a cigarette, raised his head, and leisurely exhaled a puff of smoke.

Mo Yuan extended his right hand, his index finger pointing directly at the incoming blizzard and pillar of fire, then lightly tapped the lake water below.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Wu Ming suddenly widened her beautiful eyes, her pupils trembling, her face filled with disbelief.

Years later, whenever Wu Ming saw Mo Yuan make that gesture again, she would recall that unforgettable moment.

The golden crow's flames and blizzard, which seemed to be burning or freezing the lake water, froze in mid-air in a way that defied common sense the moment Mo Yuan lightly touched the ground with his index finger. Then, the next second, a violent pressure descended from the sky, tearing the flames and blizzard to shreds like an invisible giant hand.

The calm masked absolute destruction, akin to the wrath of a tyrant, leaving both she and Ling Luochen, the masters of the soul skills, utterly powerless to resist...
