Chapter 267 Sea God Lake and the Sea God's Fate
Bathed in pale golden light, fifteen girls draped in white gauze stood on the water's surface.
Wang Dong exclaimed excitedly, "Yuhao, hurry! Give me a copy of the mental detection!"
If Wang Dong were actually on the field, he might be nervous, but now he's just a spectator, and he's mostly just excited to watch the excitement.
"understood."
Huo Yuhao found a comfortable position to lie down, and four spirit rings—one white, one yellow (purple), and two black—slowly appeared.
Having finally gotten a chance to relax, Huo Yuhao didn't bother to completely conceal the fluctuations of his spirit rings.
Wang Dong wanted to see the face beneath the veil, but Huo Yuhao's mental detection only reached the outside of the veil and failed to detect anything inside.
Wang Dong turned to Huo Yuhao and asked, "Why aren't you finished taking the photos?"
Huo Yuhao didn't even open his eyes, casually saying, "Revealing the mystery now would be too boring, wouldn't it?"
"Too."
Wang Dong nodded, and seeing how comfortably Huo Yuhao was lying, he followed suit and lay down on the bed.
Suddenly, Wang Dong thought of a very important question.
Logically speaking, Huo Yuhao's mental detection should be able to see through clothing, and even roughly detect the flow of soul power and muscle contractions under the skin.
So here's the question...
Did Huo Yuhao actually use this ability to spy on others?
Or.
Did Huo Yuhao actually scan him with his mental detection?
If so, wouldn't that mean even your underwear has been exposed?
Although I know Huo Yuhao isn't the type to spy, what if? What if Huo Yuhao probes a little deeper during one of our sparring sessions...?
Then one's own secret...
Thinking of this, Wang Dong suddenly turned his head to look at Huo Yuhao, scrutinizing Huo Yuhao's face with suspicion.
As if sensing Wang Dong's gaze, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Wang Dong, and showed a somewhat puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?"
"N-nothing!"
Wang Dong quickly turned his head away, not daring to meet Huo Yuhao's gaze.
Seeing Wang Dong's flushed face, Huo Yuhao slowly closed his eyes.
You mustn't look, you mustn't look. If you keep looking, your resolve will waver.
For now, it's best not to get too involved with Wang Dong, as it could be exploited by someone, which would be bad for both of us.
Although... Wang Dong with long hair is indeed very beautiful and more feminine, especially her slightly blushing face, which is very endearing.
"What should I do? What should I do... Does Huo Yuhao even know about that? If he does, why doesn't he tell me? Am I really that unattractive?"
While Wang Dong was lost in thought, the Sea God's Fate event on Sea God Lake was also progressing steadily.
Two white beams of light appeared out of thin air, and the two hosts made a dazzling entrance under the white light.
Huh?
Huo Yuhao was taken aback when he saw the two female hosts. Then he smiled and looked at the male students on the shore. Bei Bei, dressed in a red inner academy student uniform, stood among them, nervously observing the several pale golden beams of light in the center of the lake.
So that's how it is. Tang Ya also participated in the Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event. That makes sense since Bei Bei wasn't the host.
In the period immediately after his awakening, the two memories merged together, which made Huo Yuhao really unfamiliar with how to cultivate. He was able to quickly get into the zone thanks to Bei Bei's help and guidance.
Otherwise, Huo Yuhao wouldn't be so concerned about Bei Bei and Tang Ya's affairs.
But if Tang Ya is included, who is the girl who didn't participate?
"Seagod's Fate on Seagod Lake, Shrek Academy Through the Ages, A Love Story Unfolds in an Instant. Welcome everyone to..."
"Tsk, didn't even bother with a self-introduction?"
Hearing this cliché opening, Huo Yuhao clicked his tongue.
Perhaps because the inner courtyard was not very large and everyone basically knew each other, the host didn't even introduce himself, which made Huo Yuhao not even know which of the two women on the stage was Zhang Lexuan.
However, that's not important. Judging from his physical condition, Huo Yuhao is likely to be able to guess the correct answer.
As the host began his opening remarks, everyone's attention was drawn to him. Even Wang Dong stopped daydreaming and focused intently on the progress of the Sea God's Fate.
The rules for the first round are simple: grab a spot, any means are allowed, and falling into the water results in elimination. Whoever is in front has priority in subsequent challenges.
As the host counted down from three to one, more than thirty male trainees shot out like arrows.
"Beibei's speed isn't a good advantage."
At this moment, Beibei was in the second tier. In the first tier were two Soul Saints. With Beibei's cultivation as a Soul Emperor, he was not at a good advantage. There were also two agility-type Soul Emperors who barely managed to suppress Beibei.
"hold head high--"
Suddenly, realizing it was time for Beibei to exert its strength, Beibei activated its dragon transformation. With a dragon's roar, Beibei's speed suddenly increased, and it rushed forward like a bolt of lightning.
As a top-tier offensive-type martial soul possessor, and also a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex with lightning attributes, Bei Bei's maximum speed when unleashed is in no way inferior to those agility-type soul emperors!
Even so, it was difficult for Beibei, who was already a step behind, to catch up with the people in front of her. Moreover, the track was only about 200 meters long, so there was no time for Beibei to catch up.
No... I still can't catch up?
As if she had figured out the current situation, Beibei's expression hardened, and purple light swirled in her eyes.
"Oh dear, Senior Brother is going to use dirty tricks."
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Wang Dong also focused his attention on Bei Bei. From the perspective of mental detection, six bright white needles shot out rapidly from Bei Bei's eyes, heading straight for the three people in front of her.
After firing those attacks, Beibei's face turned noticeably pale, but she still gritted her teeth and charged forward.
Three of the first four swayed slightly. Two of the Soul Emperors had weaker mental strength. One of them lost his balance and fell face-first into the water, leaving two long ripples on the surface before disappearing.
Perhaps out of shame and embarrassment, the two of them, without prior arrangement, did not surface. Instead, they swam far away before surfacing, glaring angrily at the other contestants, trying to figure out which guy had ambushed them.
Soul Saint was less affected. Even though he managed to regain his balance, the slight delay allowed Bei Bei to overtake him by a small margin.
"Senior Brother's mental attack technique is quite impressive; its attack power is comparable to my full-force attack when I was at the third ring."
Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. As a non-spiritual soul master, the fact that he could release a spiritual attack that was still effective against someone one level higher showed that Bei Bei had put a lot of effort into this move.
With a high level of proficiency, one can even compress mental energy into a needle-like shape, which is how one breaks through the soul power defense of others.
It should be noted that even Huo Yuhao needed to rely on his spirit rings to release his spirit skills before reaching the fourth ring level in order to achieve this.
Upon hearing this, Wang Dong curled his lip and said, "Senior Brother is a Soul Emperor after all, yet the mental attack you released was only about the same as when you were at the third ring. Why do I feel like you're indirectly praising yourself?"
Huo Yuhao said without any shame, "After all, I have a spirit attribute martial soul, and my martial soul is eyes, so this self-created soul skill is naturally more suitable for me."
No way, it's all thanks to the powerful soul skills.
The scene returns to the ongoing Sea God's Fate event.
What happened?
Attracted by the commotion behind him, the Seven-Ring Soul Saint at the front turned his head to look back with some confusion, only to find that two of the three who had been chasing him had fallen into the water, leaving only two behind him, and they had both fallen behind.
It seems we've got the first move in the bag this time.
With reduced soul power output, the Seven-Ring Soul Saint's speed began to slow down, and he was about to occupy the first water lily leaf.
First one in hand!
Just as the Soul Saint was getting carried away with his triumph, the Seven-Ring Soul Saint felt a sudden dizziness, and the next second he realized that he had inexplicably returned to the starting point.
He was even falling towards the water's surface, which startled him so much that he quickly increased his soul power output, barely managing to reduce the momentum of the fall when he stepped onto the water's surface, thus avoiding elimination.
Despite this, being so far behind, and despite Soul Saint's best efforts, he could only manage to grab a spot in the third row.
"Xu Sanshi, you bastard!"
The Seven-Ring Soul Saint looked depressed.
As fellow inner court students, they were basically aware of each other's abilities. In addition, Xu Sanshi was currently standing in the spot that originally belonged to him, so how could a Seven-Ring Soul Saint not see through the trickery?
The Seven-Ring Soul Saint regretted that he had overlooked Xu Sanshi's abilities. If he had been prepared and dodged with all his might, he could have easily avoided Xuanming's lock-on with his speed.
Sigh, looks like there's no chance this year either. I finally waited for those guys to graduate, thinking I could make a name for myself this year, but I got tricked by Lao Liu.
After apologizing to Soul Saint, Xu Sanshi looked at Bei Bei behind him and laughed, "Not bad, you actually managed to grab such a good spot, but you're still a bit behind me."
"But don't worry, you know my goal, I won't compete with you for Xiaoya."
Xu Sanshi looked around and said with some regret, "Where's Huo Yuhao? And his roommate Wang Dong? They didn't even take advantage of such a good opportunity to shine?"
"Mind your own business, or that guy behind you might steal your bride."
As she spoke, Beibei pointed to the seven-ring Soul Saint behind her who had been tricked by Xu Sanshi.
"Cough cough."
Seeing the other party's ill-intentioned gaze, Xu Sanshi coughed lightly and became much more serious.
"Alright, let's begin the first segment—mutual appreciation..."
Huo Yuhao recalled a meme from his memory and said to Wang Dong beside him, "Mutual appreciation, also known as lifting your skull."
Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao with disdain: "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"
"Ahem, wrong, I mean, lift your veil..."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao began to hum the melody softly from his memory.
Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao in surprise and said, "I didn't know you had musical talent?"
Although the unfamiliar melody wasn't exactly melodious, its cheerful rhythm and fitting lyrics made it quite appropriate for the occasion.
Huo Yuhao replied evasively, "I don't remember where I heard it."
Seeing Xu Sanshi step forward to lift Jiang Nannan's veil, Huo Yuhao sighed and secretly gave Xu Sanshi a mental sharing ability.
Although Xu Sanshi is a terrible person and extremely unreliable, at least he has decent character.
After all, Xu Sanshi could have easily used Jiang Nannan's mother as a pretext or to threaten her, but he didn't. So there's not much to refute about how good Xu Sanshi is to Jiang Nannan.
Their ill-fated relationship had already begun, and perhaps it would be best for them to leave it as it is, without any further interference, and let the original plot unfold.
Huo Yuhao was also willing to lend a hand.
Upon receiving Huo Yuhao's mental sharing, Xu Sanshi's eyes lit up, and he secretly gave a thumbs-up towards the distance.
You've been a huge help, junior brother.
Your senior brother didn't spoil you for nothing.
"You're one to help people cheat too."
Wang Dong gently nudged Huo Yuhao with his elbow.
When Tang Ya asked Huo Yuhao to help Bei Bei defeat Xu Sanshi, Huo Yuhao refused righteously.
"That doesn't count. After all, it's a matter between the young couple. Whether I help or not doesn't affect the fairness."
Huo Yuhao sighed and said helplessly, "Actually, it didn't matter whether I made a move or not. If Jiang Nannan really resisted, why didn't she even use her soul skills? Just her Invincible Golden Body alone would have prevented Second Senior Brother from making a move."
"Then why..." Wang Dong asked in surprise, but then sighed and shook his head. "Why do you think Senior Sister Jiang Nannan keeps avoiding Second Senior Brother? According to what you said, Senior Sister Jiang Nannan is not completely against Second Senior Brother, but she doesn't seem to want to agree to Xu Sanshi's pursuit at all."
Huo Yuhao shrugged and said, "You'll have to ask Second Senior Brother what he did before."
With Huo Yuhao's help and prediction, it was not difficult for Xu Sanshi to remove Jiang Nannan's hat. However, the process was too funny, and Huo Yuhao was really not used to this kind of funny personality.
Zhang Lexuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Next... Beibei, it's your turn."
"come on."
Xu Sanshi gently patted Beibei's shoulder.
Beibei took a deep breath, and without hesitation, gently touched the water's surface, resolutely walking towards the figure in her heart.
Over the years, Beibei has watched Xiaoya gradually become depressed and thinner, and accompanied Xiaoya as she gradually got over her past and recovered her health. For Beibei, even if Xiaoya is covered by a veil, she can easily recognize the girl under the veil.
"Xiaoya, I'm here."
"Um."
The girl under the veil blushed, her usual liveliness gone. She simply lowered her head and let out a soft "hmm" as a response.
Beibei breathed a sigh of relief, and with trembling hands, raised her right hand to remove the girl's veil.
The white veil brushed against the girl's fair and jade-like neck, revealing her soft and warm skin. Feeling the tingling sensation of the veil brushing against her neck, the girl lowered her head even further.
Looking at Xiaoya's pretty face, adorned with a blush of shyness, Beibei smiled, a very happy smile.
"Good job, Beibei!"
Seeing this, Xu Sanshi took the lead in making a commotion.
Beibei glared fiercely at the guy who was ruining the atmosphere, then turned to Xiaoya and said gently, "Xiaoya, wait for me."
"Um."
"Wow--!"
Wang Dong excitedly shook Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
From the perspective of mental detection, what the two see is practically a first-person view, meaning they are practically face-to-face watching each other exchange glances.
"This is what sweet love should be like. Second Brother still has a long way to go."
Huo Yuhao took out a bag of sunflower seeds and said while cracking them open, "Dating is more interesting to watch others date."
"You even prepared sunflower seeds?"
Wang Dong turned to look at Huo Yuhao, who was eating sunflower seeds, and said, "Hurry up and share some with me."
"How could we possibly leave you out?"
Huo Yuhao chuckled and took out the snacks, drinks, watermelon, and other treats he had prepared beforehand.
