Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Ji Lin said indifferently, "Why would I lie to you? There's no benefit in it for me."

Wang Dong'er thought about it and realized that Ji Lin had no reason to lie to her, which meant it was true.

Thinking this, Wang Dong'er looked at Lan Fuzi again, her expression gradually becoming excited, with an expression of eagerness and a desire to cause trouble.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Qiu'er exchanged a helpless glance. These two are here again. They must have found some fun new amusement.

All they could do was silently mourn for the people who were about to be tricked by the two of them.

"Please, all you sea goddess fairies, consider this carefully. You have one minute to think it over! And I want to emphasize that if you do not leave your light on for any of the thirty-six male students, it means that you will forfeit this matchmaking event and withdraw from Sea God Lake."

The female trainees each had their own plans. They were all very quiet, about 100 meters apart, but no one knew whether they already had someone they liked.

A minute passed quickly, and at Zhang Lexuan's signal, Han Ruoruo continued hosting.

"Alright, let's begin the second round, 'Love at First Sight.' First, please, all you sea goddess fairies, keep your lights on for the male trainees. In this second round, keeping your light on doesn't mean you have to choose him in the end. As long as you make a good impression, you can give him a chance, and also give yourself a chance. I believe he will also pay attention to the girls who keep their lights on for him. Alright, let's begin."

The first one to face the test was the male student at the Soul Saint level who had previously lifted eight bamboo hats.

"Three, two, one. Begin, turn on the light for male student number one."

Almost instantly, more than half of the golden beams went out, followed by several others that seemed to have gone out after some thought.

The male contestant's heart was in his throat. No matter how strong he was, if none of the female contestants chose him, he would have to leave the stage immediately. He secretly regretted that he hadn't acted so outrageously in the first round. His actions at that time might have offended all the female contestants.

Fortunately, his Soul Saint level cultivation was still attractive, and since everyone was an inner court student, they would run into each other all the time, so he still had some connections. In the end, the five beams of light were reserved for him until the very end, and he was finally not eliminated directly.

The first male trainee to enter the "love at first sight" stage was so devastated that the other male trainees naturally became nervous as well. Heaven knows what these female trainees were thinking.

There were too many wolves and not enough meat! There were sixteen female students but thirty-six male students. The girls in Shrek Academy's inner courtyard have always been very popular. In an instant, a tense atmosphere spread throughout the entire Poseidon Lake.

However, the male students who were able to rank in the first row were all those who performed well in the first round and were quite strong. The next few male students were treated quite well, with more than half of the female students leaving their beams of light for them.

The second round, "Love at First Sight," proceeded quickly. Although Lan Fuzi was seated towards the back of the first row, it was her turn in no time.

"Now, let's turn on the light for the male trainee currently standing in position number eight. Three, two, one, begin."

Xue Qianren looked at Lan Fuzi with a headache. She wanted to do nothing and just end the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, but Lan Fuzi had helped her after all. Without Lan Fuzi, she didn't know when she would be able to return to Douluo Continent, or what kind of danger she would encounter on the sea.

After hesitating for a long time, Xue Qianren sighed inwardly. Out of gratitude for the help she had received, she pressed the button in front of her.

However, something unexpected happened. Amidst the exclamations of the outer academy students on the distant shore, not a single one of the sixteen beams of light was extinguished; they were all preserved for Lan Fuzi.

Her lips twitched. If she had known Lan Fuzi was so popular, why would she have bothered with all that trouble?

Originally, seeing that Lan Fuzi was at the very back and kept a low profile, it was thought that not many female students would leave their lights on for him. However, to everyone's surprise, they all left their lights on.

Not to mention Xue Qianren, even Lan Fuzi herself was surprised.

She didn't know that the girls in the inner courtyard had all been pampered and cared for by the male students. They were not only exceptionally intelligent and capable, but also had remarkable insight.

The glimpse of her cleavage when she removed Xue Qianren's hat was enough to alert the girls. Xue Qianren was quite famous among the girls, after all, she was exceptionally beautiful and her cultivation was among the best in the inner academy. This was evident from the fact that the male student at the Soul Saint level was almost knocked into the lake by a single sword strike from Xue Qianren. So, it was clear that Lan Fuzi was no ordinary person who could remove Xue Qianren's hat.

Moreover, Xue Qianren, who was focused on cultivation and would never have left the house if they hadn't dragged her to the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event, actually left a lamp for Lan Fuzi, which made them even more curious and interested in Lan Fuzi.

That's why they all left the lights on.

How could a guy who even Xue Qianren approves of be ordinary?

That's why the magical sight of all the lights being left on at Lan Fuzi came about.

Lan Fuzi's lips twitched slightly. However, no matter what, everyone has vanity. Even Lan Fuzi felt a little smug that all sixteen lamps were kept. She didn't expect to be so popular after dressing up as a man. It seems that she is the type that appeals to both men and women!

The "love at first sight" segment continued, but the male trainees in the second row weren't so lucky. Without lifting their hats, they didn't leave a deep impression on the girls, and soon all the lights went out.

By the end of the second round, a total of eighteen male trainees had been eliminated, a record high elimination rate in recent years. That's exactly half of the male trainees being eliminated, leaving only eighteen—two more than the number of female trainees.

The high elimination rate this time is also related to the excellence of the female students in the new inner court. With their good qualities, their standards for choosing a partner are naturally high. Currently, the ratio is almost one to one, and the remaining male students are all eager to try their luck and have a great chance to win the hearts of their beauties!

After the second stage was completed, the remaining eighteen male trainees rearranged themselves and lined up in a row.

The one who least wanted to be famous was Lan Fuzi, but in order to build a good relationship with Xue Qianren, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay.

Because of his perfect score in the second round, he was undoubtedly placed in first place, unfortunately ending up in the most prominent position.

This time, it was Zhang Lexuan who spoke.

"After the first two rounds, I believe everyone has a basic understanding of each other. Next, we will move on to the third segment, 'Love at First Sight.' This time, ladies, please pay attention! You can't just choose randomly like in the second round. Once you choose, you must be responsible for your choice. Each boy has one minute to introduce himself. After your introduction, come to me and give me the number of your favorite sea goddess. After all the boys have finished their self-introductions, the girls will begin to make their choices. This choice represents your final decision. Each girl can only choose once, and there's no going back. After the selection, we will begin the fourth segment."

"Attention, gentlemen! When you're showcasing yourselves, you may display any abilities you believe to be powerful, or introduce your cultivation levels, etc.—as long as you feel your presentation will attract the girls you like. This time, we're going to shuffle the order and draw lots to decide who goes first and who goes last, to ensure fairness."

"The draw begins. The first person we draw to reveal themselves is Lan Fuzi."

"What!"

Lan Fuzi was completely bewildered. Why was she the first to go? She had no experience! She wanted to see how the others did it!

"Lan Fuzi, you can start introducing yourself now. You have one minute." Zhang Lexuan looked at Lan Fuzi with a half-smile.

She also noticed that this Lan Fuzi was a bit of a coward!

"oh."

Left with no other choice, Lan Fuzi could only nod.

"My name is Lan Fuzi. I was admitted to Shrek Academy from an external school. My martial soul is the Vortex, and I have just broken through to the Soul Saint level."

"Finished?"

When Zhang Lexuan saw that he was silent, she immediately laughed. This introduction was too simple.

Lan Fuzi looked innocent and nodded.

Zhang Lexuan snorted and said, "Your introduction is too simple. It's unfair to our Sea Goddess Fairies when they make their choice. Don't be shy, say more."

Zhang Lexuan decided to help this junior out, otherwise, given his personality, when would he ever find a girlfriend?

Lan Fuzi was both amused and exasperated. She took a deep breath and decided to unleash her ultimate move.

"I came here for Miss Xue Qianren. I was captivated by her at first sight; she is my dream girl. I have never been so moved by a woman before, so I am determined to have her this time."

Zhang Lexuan opened her mouth, completely dumbfounded. Wait, are you really that brave? Did I misjudge you? If you're this brave, do I really need to help you?

Upon hearing Lan Fuzi's introduction and direct question, the entire arena fell silent. (End of Chapter)
