Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Chapter 202 All Members of the Inner Court, Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event

After a two-month voyage, the five finally arrived back in the Sun and Moon Federation!

Having received advance notice, Wu Changkong, along with Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan, exchange student Dai Yun'er, Xie Xie, and others, came to greet them.

When Zhao Tao, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue and the others returned, Wu Changkong, who already knew what had happened, did not blame them. Instead, he was very glad that they had survived such an accident.

As for the five girls, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, Yuan Enyehui, Xu Xiaoyan, and Dai Yun'er, they were overjoyed and cried tears of happiness!

They originally thought that Zhao Tao had died in that mysterious secret realm, and that they would be destined to live a life of widowhood.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tao actually came back, safe and sound!

Back at Shrek Academy, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie had all obtained their own One-Word Battle Armor and entered the inner courtyard to cultivate.

Among them, Ye Xinglan's level has reached 57, Wu Siduo and Yuanen Yehui's level has reached 56, and even the weakest Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie have reached level 47, the same as Tang Wulin.

When asked about their cultivation levels, Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Na'er simply smiled and did not answer.

After all, their true strength is so high that probably no one would believe it if it were said out loud.

After returning to the academy, Yun Ming summoned Zhao Tao, Gu Yue, and Na'er to inquire about what had happened.

After learning that the three were safe and sound and had even gained some opportunities, Yun Ming didn't say much. He just verbally reprimanded them to be more careful next time and to report in advance before going out.

Upon returning to Shrek Academy, another major event at the academy—the Sea God Pavilion Blind Date Festival—is about to begin.

That evening, countless students gathered in the inner courtyard, and the two three-word battle armor masters, Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng, were in charge of hosting the event.

First, the two announced the rules of the matchmaking event.

Although it's a matchmaking event, it's essentially an opportunity to showcase one's abilities and compete for opportunities.

For example, at the very beginning, everyone needs to grab a spot on the lotus leaf.

These positions are actually limited, and there is no guarantee that everyone will have a place!

Those who can't get a spot are not qualified to participate in this grand event.

As for the position, there is also a concept of front and back. The closer the position, the greater the exposure, the more it can prove one's strength, and the earlier one can express one's feelings.

After the rules were announced, the male trainees put on green masks and large cloaks, while the female trainees wore white conical hats and white long skirts, and the competition began.

According to the rules, during the competition, only pure soul power can be used; soul skills are not allowed, and pushing and shoving are strictly prohibited.

After a fierce competition, the trainees used their unique skills to secure their spots.

Zhao Tao easily took the center position, as did Gu Yue and Na'er, while Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo,

Yuan Enhui, Dai Yunji, and Wu Siduo all successfully secured their spots. As for Tang Wulin, he didn't participate because he didn't have anyone he liked, and the same was true for Xie Xie.

Next, Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng announced the start of the first segment, "Mutual Appreciation," which, simply put, involves the man unveiling the woman's veil.

If the woman is interested and agrees, she can choose to unveil herself; otherwise, it's a matter of friendly competition, where ability speaks for itself.

Next came the second segment, "Peacock Spreading Its Tail," similar to the lighting segment in the reality show "If You Are the One."

Male trainees take turns appearing on stage, and can choose to reveal their faces or not, while female trainees can choose to turn their lights on or off. Anyone who has no one turn their lights on will be eliminated.

In this round, whether it was Gu Yue, Na'er, or Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, Yuan Enyehui, Dai Yun'er, and Xu Xiaoyan, all five girls naturally lit up for Zhao Tao. There were even some inner court disciples from other grades who lit up for Zhao Tao.

After these two relatively casual warm-up rounds, the third round, "love at first sight," began.

In this segment, each boy takes turns going on stage to introduce himself, and then the girls make their choices; each girl can only choose one boy she likes.

The selected boys will directly enter the fifth stage, while the unselected boys will enter the fourth stage and have a chance to be "revived".

In the self-introduction section, participants can freely showcase their abilities and skills. Obviously, the boys who go on stage first have a significant advantage. To ensure fairness, this round will be conducted by drawing lots.

Soon, the drawing of lots was completed, and one by one, the boys went on stage to introduce themselves and demonstrate their cultivation and abilities. Zhao Tao was no exception.

Of course, because he didn't want to stand out too much for the time being, Zhao Tao only showed his Soul Emperor cultivation level. With his Divine Official cultivation level, he naturally did it flawlessly, even top big shots like Yun Ming, Ya Li, and Long Ye Yue were no exception.

Soon, the third round ended, with about half of the boys being eliminated, while Zhao Tao won the votes of seven beautiful girls: Gu Yue, Na'er, Wu Siduo, Ye Xinglan, Yuan Enyehui, Dai Yun'er, and Xu Xiaoyan.

At this moment, Zhao Tao also attracted countless envious, jealous, and hateful glances from the students.

With the conclusion of the third round, the fourth round begins, titled "Predestined Love Across Three Lifetimes".

This step allows girls who haven't yet chosen any boys to pursue them a second time.

This time, Xu Mi'er was the only female student who didn't choose any male students.

However, due to her volatile temper, in the end, even those boys who had given up on her did not confess their feelings to her. As a result, she was eliminated and became the only girl to be eliminated in the first four rounds.

Of course, more boys were eliminated than girls; almost half of the boys were eliminated. Only ten boys made it to the final fifth round, which is about half of the number of people who managed to grab the lotus leaf and officially participate in the matchmaking event.

At this moment, Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng announced the rules for the fifth and final round of the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event.

In this round, the power will be reversed; in the past, girls chose boys, but this time, boys will choose girls.

The specific rules are as follows:

First, each girl can confess her feelings to the boy she chooses in thirty seconds;

Next, the boy can choose to accept the sea goddess's confession, which means they have successfully paired up.

Of course, boys can also choose to reject a confession and instead confess to a girl they like but who didn't choose them, which is also known as "bride kidnapping".

In this situation, Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng also specifically pointed out that the chances of being rejected are very high, and it may cause the girl who previously chose them to regret it.

After briefly introducing the rules, Lan Muzi and Tang Yinmeng announced that the final part of the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event—the "A Perfect Match" segment—had officially begun!
