Chapter 275: A Hundred Years of Harmony

According to the numbering order, the first male trainee to make a selection was naturally Wang Dong.

However, she did not choose Xiao Xiao or Jiang Nannan, but instead made a move that seemed very strange to outsiders, yet perfectly normal in Tang Wulin's eyes.

"Eldest Senior Sister, I don't choose any of them; I choose Huo Yutong. I want to apply to Tang Wulin to snatch the bride."

Following closely after were Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao.

"Eldest Senior Sister, the ones we like have been snatched away, so we also apply to snatch the bride."

"……"

Zhang Lexuan was still encountering this for the first time, and she momentarily froze.

However, she quickly reacted; these three people were obviously premeditated.

She furrowed her brows, about to say something, when suddenly Bei Bei tugged at her sleeve.

Bei Bei whispered to her:

"Just let them have their way this time; don't worry, they mean no harm."

The person who knows Huo Yutong's temperament best is Tang Wulin; second best is this senior brother who has known her the longest. He knows well that, given her personality, she would hardly do anything outrageous to Tang Wulin, so someone must vent her frustration on her behalf.

And the most suitable candidates right now are clearly Wang Dong and her two companions.

Although Zhang Lexuan found it somewhat bewildering, her trust in Bei Bei made her change her mind, and she asked Tang Wulin: "Tang Wulin, do you accept?"

Tang Wulin nodded helplessly.

"I accept."

Could he not accept? If he didn't accept here, he estimated Wang Dong would nag him behind his back for a lifetime.

He loosened his grip on Huo Yutong's small hand and stepped forward.

"Come at me together."

His expression was calm as he prepared to accept the impending storm.

What he didn't notice was that, at the instant he released his hand, Huo Yutong's hand instinctively lifted slightly, and a somewhat lonely expression appeared on her face.

But that expression faded instantly, and she immediately bit her lip to endure it.

Looking at Tang Wulin approaching, Wang Dong revealed a fierce grin.

"Tang Wulin, we had agreed beforehand that you must not fight back."

"I understand."

Tang Wulin lightly shrugged.

Just as Wang Dong said, this was what the two had agreed upon.

He simply hadn't expected Wang Dong to also bring Xiao Xiao and Jiang Nannan.

A pair of beautiful blue butterfly wings unfurled from Wang Dong's back, she flew into the sky and shouted:

"Catch them!"

Instantly, brilliant light rose from Haishen Hu, and the 108 strikes contained within the Butterfly God Slash all shot out together, slashing toward Tang Wulin.

To everyone's surprise, Tang Wulin truly did not fight back, not even making the most basic defensive move; he simply stood still on the lake surface, enduring Wang Dong's attack.

The strikes released by the Butterfly God Slash that landed on his body were all blocked by a layer of pale golden light, unable to harm him in the slightest.

After absorbing the Light Dragon King, Tang Wulin also gained resistance to the light element; even if his physical strength were only that of an ordinary Soul King, Wang Dong could not hope to injure him in the slightest relying solely on this third soul skill.

To break through his resistance, at least a soul skill of ten-thousand-year level would be needed.

Meanwhile, as Wang Dong launched her attack, the other two also began their actions.

Three black cauldrons appeared out of thin air, surrounding Tang Wulin from three directions; Jiang Nannan pushed off with her legs, leapt from a lotus leaf onto a cauldron, then pushed again with her legs to jump onto Tang Wulin's head.

At the same time, the three cauldrons trembled violently, sending a powerful shockwave toward him; the water beneath his feet could not withstand such impact, instantly splashing and being blown upward.

Tang Wulin's expression unchanged, a pair of massive golden dragon wings sprouted from his back; with a light flap, he rose upward.

However, how could Jiang Nannan just let him escape? She instantaneously moved above Tang Wulin, extended her legs, wrapped them around his neck, and, using gravity control, slammed him down toward Haishen Hu.

Tang Wulin secretly sighed.

One must know that the Sea God's Fate event hasn't ended yet, meaning if he fell into the water he would still be eliminated; it seems Jiang Nannan is truly angry, actually trying to smash him into the water. However, an attack of this level could naturally do nothing to him; after all, if he weren't holding back, Jiang Nannan could never fling him away.

Yellow light emanated from his torso, and Jiang Nannan was astonished to find that her gravity control had actually failed.

No, it wasn't failure.

It was neutralization.

This is precisely one of the soul skills granted to Tang Wulin by the Mountain Dragon King torso bone: gravity control.

As a soul skill bestowed by the Mountain Dragon King torso bone, his gravity control is far stronger than Jiang Nannan's hundred-year-level gravity control, both in precision and upper limit.

After breaking free of the gravity control, Tang Wulin turned in midair and once again steadied his stance on the water.

Afterwards, Wang Dong and her two companions launched various continuous attacks at him; Tang Wulin, just as agreed, offered no resistance and easily absorbed them all until the trio exhausted their soul power.

Seeing the panting Wang Dong trio, the inner court disciples were left speechless.

Are the Wang Dong trio weak? Absolutely not.

Their combined effort also wasn't lacking in coordination; judging by their performance, even a Soul Saint facing their joint attack would be flustered.

Yet Tang Wulin easily absorbed all of their attacks; this performance……he might not be weaker than the eldest senior sister, right? Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"Have you calmed down?"

Wang Dong straightened up and coldly said: "I'll say it again—you should be saying this to her."

Tang Wulin let out a light sigh.

"I understand."

The person involved can't let go; no matter how much he has others knock on her, it's useless.

He turned around, returned to Huo Yutong's side, and took her hand again.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Huo Yutong glanced at him, opened her mouth, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "I didn't wait for you."

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Hmm."

Huo Yutong being willing to speak to him was already great progress, and perhaps she herself hadn't even noticed; this time, when Tang Wulin took her hand again, she forgot to resist.

Or perhaps she actually realized it but pretended not to?

Either way, it made Tang Wulin feel very happy.

He tightly held Huo Yutong's little hand, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

Time passed second by second, and finally, the century-old unity ritual came to them.

Zhang Lexuan smiled and asked:

"Tang Wulin, who do you choose?"

She was just teasing, after all, Tang Wulin only has one person beside him.

He said without hesitation:

"Senior Sister, I choose Yutong; no matter what, I will only choose her."

Zhang Lexuan showed a satisfied smile, then looked at Huo Yutong.

"Then Yutong, what about you?"

Huo Yutong didn't answer, but took a small step toward Tang Wulin, standing closer to him.

"Alright, congratulations to Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong on completing the century-old unity ritual; may they be together forever, with a rainbow all the way."

With Bei Bei's blessing, Tang Wulin's Sea God Fate Matchmaking Convention trip this time is considered over.

Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, he showed an excited smile.

But he didn't get carried away, because he knew what truly mattered was what was about to happen.
