Douluo: The Thousand-Faced Angel in the Dragon King

Chapter 147 The Sea God's Fate in Progress

"Hmm?" Qianmo looked closely and noticed that there was still one last spot on the first row of lotus leaves.

With a flash, Qian Mo arrived on the last lotus leaf in the first row.

Just as Qian Mo regained his footing, a burly male student appeared beside him and threw a punch at him, intending to use force to drive Qian Mo off the lotus leaf beneath his feet and take over the better position.

There are rules for taking a spot on stage. You cannot take a spot by physical contact, nor can you use soul skills, but you can use pure soul power.

Qian Mo leaned back slightly, easily causing the male student's punch to graze past her and land in empty air.

Qian Mo lightly touched the ground with her toes, her body leaping up gracefully. She unleashed a powerful, heavy whip kick at the male student, the sharp sound of air being torn apart ringing in his ears.

The male trainee crossed his arms in front of him to block the whip kick.

But the male trainee clearly overestimated himself, and an immense force he couldn't resist struck him. With a "crack," the bones in his arms instantly dislocated, and he was blasted away like a cannonball.

This attack was even with Qian Mo holding back. With his current physical strength, this kick would have been enough to break the male student's arms in two even without using his soul power.

"Bang!"

The male trainee was slammed into the water, splashing up as high as a person, and fell into the Sea God Lake, automatically being considered eliminated.

Qianmo adjusted her posture in mid-air and landed steadily on the lotus leaf. Her toes lightly touched the lotus leaf, and she felt refreshed and light as a feather. The soft and fragile lotus leaf perfectly supported the tall and slender Qianmo.

Before long, the male trainees landed on the huge lotus leaves and took their places. Looking around, a quick scan revealed a total of fifty-one male trainees.

On the other hand, there were only thirty-one female trainees, a clear case of too many monks and too few porridge.

The next moment, on Lake Poseidon, the lotus leaves beneath their feet were illuminated by lights, reflecting off their bodies. Surrounded by the shimmering waters of Lake Poseidon, and beneath their feet, beams of light shone. With their appearance, a vast array of lights flashed beneath the water's surface; at this moment, the surface of Lake Poseidon became their most dazzling stage.

Lan Muzi smiled slightly, "According to the tradition of the Sea God's Fate, the first round is called 'Mutual Appreciation.' The name sounds nice, but it's quite difficult. Thirty-one female students will line up one hundred meters away from you. Each of them will wear a bamboo hat with a veil hanging from it, so their faces won't be visible. Simply put, this competition requires teamwork from you male students. You fifty-one can take turns attacking the female students, one or multiple at a time. The goal is to lift the bamboo hats off their heads, understand?"

As soon as Lan Muzi finished speaking, the lotus leaves beneath the female trainees' feet began to sway on their own, turning the two rows of women into a single row, lined up in a row.

Lan Muzi looked at the boys in the front row and smiled, "Alright, now it's your time to show your masculine charm. I'll call you out according to your numbers. Before you make your move, you can choose to remove your mask or not. Then you can make your move towards the girls. Conversely, you should note that the girls couldn't remove their hats themselves in the previous rounds, so if you can't find a way to knock off their hats, it will be difficult to determine who they are."

The first round was relatively mild. Even if the girls' veils weren't lifted, it only proved that the boys weren't strong enough and wouldn't be directly eliminated.

Soon, one by one, the boys began to show off their skills, trying to unmask the girls opposite them. Some succeeded, some failed, and some with impure intentions were mercilessly knocked into the water by the female students.

The competition continued until the ninth male contestant, with the most revealing being Yue Zhengyu, who removed eight veils at once.

"Number 10, are you going to reveal your identity?" Lan Muzi asked Qian Mo.

"Unmask," Qian Mo cleanly and neatly removed his mask.

Tang Yinmeng's eyes lit up when she saw the handsome face behind the mask. She smiled and said, "Wow, what a handsome young man! He's even more handsome than Wu Changkong back then."

Lan Muzi nodded slightly to Qian Mo, insisting. Qian Mo often went to Seagod Island and was somewhat familiar with Lan Muzi.

"Come on, Qianmo, let's begin, good luck!" Lan Muzi gestured for Qianmo to start.

On the ship, Long Yeyue opened her half-closed eyes, looked up at Qian Mo, and said calmly to Yun Ming, "He is that Qian Mo."

Long Yeyue was either traveling or in seclusion on Seagod Island, so she had never met Qian Mo, only heard of him and knew that he was a prodigy whom even Yun Ming praised repeatedly.

Yun Ming nodded. "Sister Yue, yes."

Long Yeyue said calmly, "He does seem quite extraordinary."

"Believe me, Qianmo's performance will surprise you, Sister Yue," Yunming said with a smile.

"Then I'll wait and see," Long Yeyue said.

On Poseidon Lake, Qianmo looked around at the female students wearing veils, searching for his target.

He didn't intend to do his best to unveil as many female trainees as the male trainees before him. Although he was capable of unveiling all the female trainees, he was too lazy to show off. He only cared about the ultimate goal of this trip.

Noticing Qian Mo's gaze and movements, Lan Muzi smiled and said, "Oh, it seems Qian Mo already has a target in mind. But recognizing someone dressed similarly with most of their body covered is going to be quite difficult."

Qianmo shook his head. "The attire can be the same, and the figures can be similar, but the aura cannot be the same."

With his mental energy released, Qianmo instantly locked onto three figures among the girls.

Qianmo gently raised her hand, and a card was slowly pushed out, instantly calming the breeze above Sea God Lake. Immediately afterwards, waves surged across the lake, and a divine dragon emerged from the water, rushing towards the girls.

This dragon, formed from lake water, is awe-inspiring and incredibly lifelike. Its scales are meticulously arranged, its five claws are sharp, and its whiskers are flowing.

The dragon surged above the lake, creating waves that lifted the girls' veils.

Among the girls opposite, the one standing in the center snorted coldly, slapped the air with her right hand, and seven spirit rings instantly rose from beneath her feet—two yellow, three purple, and two black. She raised her hand and pointed at the lake water, which quickly condensed into the shape of a fierce tiger, pouncing straight at the divine dragon.

The person who made the move was named Ding Xiaoling. Among the female students in the inner academy, her cultivation level was second only to Senior Sister Tang Yinmeng. She had already reached the seventh-ring Soul Saint level and was working hard to break through to the three-word Battle Armor Master level.

With a flick of his wrist, Qianmo unleashed a dragon that churned the sea in the Sea God Lake, and with a single strike of its tail, scattered the fierce tiger.
