The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

Chapter 64 Shura Field

After Huo Zhanji, the next one is He Caitou. His relationship with Xiao Xiao has long been a done deal, and the only thing left for them is who will confess first.

"Next." Zhang Lexuan's voice echoed across the lake.

He Caitou took a deep breath, trying his best to calm his excited emotions. A layer of soul guidance protection appeared on his body, and at the same time, he used the flying soul guidance device to shorten the distance between him and the girls.

"My name is He Caitou. It's a silly name. Although I look older than my age, I am only nineteen years old this year. My teacher saved my life and brought me to Shrek Academy, which led me to where I am today. I am a Soul Master and a level 62 Auxiliary Soul Emperor."

"I'm here today for just one person. I'm nervous, but I know that if I don't say it, I'll never forgive myself. Xiao Xiao, I'm back. I love you. In my entire life, I've never loved anyone like I love you. I lost my family a long time ago, and I've even lost my memories of them. But I know very clearly that there's someone who occupies the most important place in my heart. That's you. I really love you."

At this moment, He Caitou was extremely nervous, but his voice was unusually firm. Unconsciously, his hands clenched tightly, his dark face was flushed, and large drops of sweat rolled down his forehead.

The room fell silent. Of all the male students who had expressed their feelings, only He Caitou had directly confessed his love to a girl.

"Hey, big guy, you're about to crash."

The sudden sound startled He Caitou, who had been looking down. He then realized that he was about to bump into the girls. It was Han Ruoruo who had warned him.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He Caitou hurriedly shut down the soul-guided thruster.

Looking at He Caitou's dumbfounded expression, Han Ruoruo suddenly felt a pang of envy and smiled, "Big guy, keep it up."

"Oh." He Caitou subconsciously agreed, gave Han Ruoruo a deep look, and said, "Thank you."

"What should I do? What should I do? This is so embarrassing, this guy, how could he..." Xiao Xiao's mind was completely blank at this moment. She did not expect He Caitou to be like this. She had also imagined that it would be a romantic and wonderful blind date, but she never expected that it would be like this.

"Caitou, one minute is up," Beibei reminded Caitou from a distance.

"I understand." He Caitou took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "He Caitou, you've chosen Xiao Xiao, right?"

"Mmm, mmm." He Caitou nodded repeatedly, then turned around and fled back to his water lily leaf.

"Xiao Xiao," Han Ruoruo called softly.

"Huh?" Xiao Xiao finally looked up, her fair face now flushed.

"Little sister, don't be shy. Girls should be bolder! Especially when it comes to happiness, you should be brave enough to seize it. To be honest, that person's looks and such are really not good enough for you."

Xiao Xiao's blush faded slightly, but her eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction. Just as she was about to defend herself, she heard Han Ruoruo continue speaking.

"Although he may not be as good-looking as you, I can tell he's sincere and very persistent. Once a man like that has made up his mind, he won't change it. You'll be happy with him."

"Ah!" Xiao Xiao's words of protest caught in her throat, and she lowered her head shyly once more. But this time, a sweet feeling filled her heart.

Next, after many trainees, it was finally Xu Sanshi's turn to introduce himself. Looking at Jiang Nannan, Huo Zhanji knew that the matter was a sure thing. With Huo Zhanji's special assistance, Xu Sanshi finally got his wish. Xu Sanshi raised his left hand, swung his fist forcefully, turned around, looked in Huo Zhanji's direction, and gave him a thumbs up.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "Next, we will begin the fourth stage. After mutual appreciation, love at first sight, and love at second sight, it's time to seal our fate for three lifetimes. Therefore, our fourth stage is called 'Destined for Three Lifetimes'."

"In this segment, female trainees will take turns introducing themselves, choosing their preferred male trainee, and going to his side. Male trainees should stand a bit further apart, as some may be more charming and attract more than one female trainee. If a male trainee hasn't been favored by any female trainee by the end of this segment, then, unfortunately, you will have to leave our matchmaking event. The remaining participants will continue with the final segment."

Undoubtedly, in this fourth stage, more male contestants will be eliminated. At least in the first four stages of the Poseidon's Fate matchmaking event, female contestants have consistently had priority, which aligns with the common practice of "ladies first." In fact, aside from free-choice dating, men generally don't have much of an advantage at Poseidon's Fate.

"Let's begin. There's one thing for the two girls who are still wearing straw hats to note: when you introduce yourselves later, you can choose to take off your hats and reveal your true faces. Now, please let the first female student introduce herself and make your choice."

The first female student was named Hua Yao. She had her eye on Gu Fan, who was pulled into the water right at the beginning. When Gu Fan achieved a great start, everyone cheered. Gu Fan and Hua Yao had long harbored feelings for each other, but neither of them was good at expressing themselves. They participated in the Sea God's Fate competition simply to find a place where they could express their feelings.

Zhang Lexuan said, "Then, it's time for our next girl to come on stage."

The girl wearing the number two name tag was none other than Huo Zhanji's roommate, Wang Dong—no, she should now be called Wang Dong'er. Her figure floated, and a faint golden light emanated from her body as she descended towards Huo Zhanji without the slightest pause.

Huo Zhanji smiled calmly, and three square meters of solid ice appeared beneath him, supporting Wang Dong'er's body. Wang Dong'er's figure turned slightly, and her long pinkish-blue hair swung in front of her, with large wavy strands falling from her shoulders and revealing her face through her veil.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "It seems Zhan Ji and our second girl have great chemistry! Let's continue."

Next, several more girls came forward and each chose their favorite boy. Not one of them gave up, and finally it was Xiao Xiao's turn.

Xiao Xiao looked up at the opposite side, her blush still lingering, and her eyes still held a hint of hesitation. Wu Ming, who was not far away, probably also noticed Xiao Xiao's concerns.

"Xiao Xiao, listen to me. Don't let shyness cause you to miss the best opportunity. Only when a man accepts you when he loves you the most can you truly capture his heart. He will love you, and may even cherish you for a lifetime out of gratitude for your acceptance."

Han Ruoruo laughed too, "Ming'er, you seem to know a lot about this, how come you haven't caught one yet?"

Hearing Han Ruoruo's words, Wu Ming also said with some annoyance, "Isn't it because there aren't any suitable ones?"

Xiao Xiao nodded to them, her shy eyes finally revealing determination. "Thank you, sisters."

Just as she was about to use the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron to draw strength, she discovered that a long bridge made of ice had appeared beneath her feet. As she looked at Huo Zhanji in confusion, she saw him mouth the words, "Go for it!" Looking at Huo Zhanji, Xiao Xiao nodded and slowly crossed the ice bridge to He Caitou's side.

"Idiot, are you not welcoming me?" Xiao Xiao pouted and said.

He Caitou hurriedly made way for her, but there were only so many spots available for each water lily. Huo Zhanji snapped his fingers, and the ice beneath his feet instantly spread to He Caitou's feet. He Caitou gave Huo Zhanji a grateful look.

Next up was the second girl who hadn't taken off her straw hat. Underneath the hat was an extremely beautiful face. Ning Tian's appearance was a gentle beauty. Compared to before, she had a more serene temperament, with a touch of elegance that easily won people's hearts.

"My name is Ning Tian. Because I am a support-type Soul Master, I can only stay on the surface of the water by relying on the power of my Soul Tool. I am level 54, a support-type Soul King. My Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"As a support-type Soul Master, I need a pair of strong arms to protect me. Therefore, I will choose a boy who can protect me as my companion. I also believe that I can help him reach the pinnacle of the continent. Because, behind me lies the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Ning Tian didn't linger either, heading straight for his target. Wait... Ning Tian was actually heading in Huo Zhanji's direction.

"What the hell? All I did was beat you up during the freshman assessment, and you have to go to all this trouble to mess with me? You could have just turned around, but don't come any closer..."

Before Huo Zhanji could finish his thought, Ning Tian had already arrived not far in front of him and nodded slightly. Although Ning Tian was a little shy, he still mustered up his courage, raised his head, and looked Huo Zhanji in the eye.

"In my eyes, you possess those strong arms. I would gladly follow you with a seven-jeweled glazed pagoda. I wonder if you could grant me a piece of thin ice?"

"Wow..." A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the boys on Poseidon Lake.

"Come on, we can just marry them all," Huo Zhanji said helplessly, then widened the area of ​​the ice layer.

"Thank you." Ning Tian smiled gracefully, lifted the sides of her skirt with both hands, and stepped onto the ice shard. Two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit rings rose from beneath her feet at that moment.

With a flick of her right hand, a dazzling light appeared in her palm, and a seven-story pagoda emerged with magnificent radiance.

……

Next up was Wu Ming. This Golden Crow Saintess walked straight up to Chu Qingtian, almost scaring Chu Qingtian to death on the spot. Just as everyone was marveling at how Wu Ming, the Golden Crow Saintess, would choose Chu Qingtian, Chu Qingtian suddenly collapsed!

"Bang!"

Just before touching the water, Chu Qingtian slammed heavily onto the ice.

"There's another expert? Is this one of that general's subordinates? How can he be so formidable?"

"You sounded so cheerful when you lifted your straw hat back then, but now you think you can run away? Let me tell you, not a chance."

And just like that, Wu Ming found love. Looking at Huo Zhanji, who was casting a soul-skill spell, she said, "Huo Zhanji, thank you..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Helping my classmate find a partner is what I, Huo Zhanji, should do," Huo Zhanji said with a smile.

Chu Qingtian gritted her teeth at the sight, glaring at Huo Zhanji and thinking to herself, "You wicked Huo Zhanji, you've ruined my life!"
