Chapter 152: He Cai Tou's Blind Date (2)

Just as He Cai Tou was obediently retracting his Soul Guidance Device, a voice rang out in his mind, "Now is the time, prepare to act, do not hesitate!"

"Everyone, be careful now."

As he spoke, He Cai Tou's hands moved simultaneously.

He looked so sturdy and tall that he seemed somewhat clumsy, yet his hands were exceptionally agile at this moment. A large number of pitch-black iron lumps were seen being flung rapidly from his hands, heading straight down toward the water.

At a glance, there were at least a hundred of these black iron lumps!

"The twelfth one, take the opportunity while she jumps up to strike at the fastest speed, go, Xiao Xiao is right there."

Having received Su Yu's reply, He Cai Tou chuckled. Just as he was about to step onto a water lily to leap up, he discovered an invisible force attached to his body. He could feel this force making his speed and his body much lighter.

With a light tap, He Cai Tou found that he had already jumped up, and the height was actually a full four or five meters high.

It was also at this moment that almost all the female students made the same movement: jumping upward. Because they were very clear about He Cai Tou's reckless actions earlier, and now that he had thrown out so many black iron lumps, the matter was certainly not that simple.

However, in the next instant, there was no change beneath the water surface. When they all realized they had been tricked, He Cai Tou had already flown to the vicinity of Xiao Xiao. Yet, just as the girls were preparing to counterattack, He Cai Tou chuckled, and then a beam of light slowly fell into the water, followed by a dozen or so soft beams of light appearing as well.

Caught off guard, quite a few people actually had their bamboo hats lifted off.

Looking at the petite and lovely figure opposite, He Cai Tou felt that his efforts had not been in vain; Xiao Xiao was indeed there.

"My apologies, fair ladies." Seeing that he had succeeded, He Cai Tou laughed at the girls, and the Flying Soul Guidance Device on his back erupted with powerful thrust, sending He Cai Tou back to his original water lily.

It must be said that this time, with Su Yu's assistance, He Cai Tou had basically not expended any soul power.

"Well done, you big guy, you even tricked us."

A familiar voice emerged, and everyone immediately knew who the owner of the voice was. She was Han Ruoruo, whose cultivation in the Inner Court was second only to the Senior Sister.

When He Cai Tou landed steadily on the water lily leaf, there was no trace of his previous reckless appearance. After landing, his face was full of a happy smile, and he waved at the girls opposite who had been fooled by him, but his gaze remained fixed on Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao had also been very astonished when she first saw He Cai Tou lift the Seven-level Soul Guidance Cannon. If it hadn't been for someone reminding He Cai Tou later that he couldn't use it, otherwise, today's Sea God Fate Blind Date Assembly would have likely turned into a Sea God Fate Martial Arts Assembly.

At this moment, the two people's gazes met over Sea God Lake. Even Xiao Xiao, who had the essence of a fujoshi, couldn't help but feel her face heat up and shyly lowered her head. But in her mind, a pair of deep and bright eyes began to linger, unable to be driven away.

At this moment, she seemed to faintly see that scene from more than four years ago again, on the stage of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament, that guy who disregarded everything, that big fool who had fought desperately to the end because she was injured.

When she woke up, what greeted her were He Cai Tou's eyes filled with guilt. According to Su Yu's answer, He Cai Tou had spared no effort to brew medicine for her and had taken care of her with all his heart.

Not seen for more than two years, seeing you again, this feeling is really good...

But why, after more than two years, has he become even darker?

Now He Cai Tou was no longer the big fool with a bald head where not a blade of grass grew. With shrewd and capable short hair and dark skin, the old honesty was long gone from his eyes, replaced by maturity and depth. Except for his skin tone being somewhat mismatched with everyone's aesthetics, his other conditions were still quite good.

It wasn't that He Cai Tou lacked a foundation of good looks, but that this kid simply hadn't cared about his own image at all.

"Next, Ye Liu, it's your turn." Zhang Lexuan said.

This guy still had that malicious look. As soon as he entered the arena, he stirred up a monstrous wave, watching as the giant wave slapped toward the eighteen female students.

Su Yu had said long ago that anyone who threatened Wang Dong would make him angry, and even if he were disqualified, so what? I don't care!

Seeing countless fragments constantly appearing, Su Yu brought his palms together, and the countless fragments gathered rapidly. A huge long sword appeared above the giant wave. That giant sword was simply like a Damocles Sword, directly locking onto the location of the giant wave.

Before Ye Liu's soul skill could be fully unleashed, it was controlled by Su Yu in mid-air, with the Fragment Martial Soul condensing into a giant sword, splitting the monstrous wave in two!

With his soul skill broken, Ye Liu was also hit hard by the backlash force from the air, and under the gaze of everyone, he smashed fiercely into Sea God Lake.

"Senior Sister, someone is breaking the rules. Wasn't it said that male students cannot interfere with others?" Ye Liu struggled to swim up from the lake surface and said unwillingly.

Before Zhang Lexuan could speak, Su Yu said: "Why I took action, you know in your heart. What your purpose was in stirring up the giant wave, you also know. You had malicious intentions, so am I wrong to stop you?"

After hearing this, Zhang Lexuan also snorted coldly and said: "What was your purpose in stirring up the waves? Didn't Su Yu just say it? Your intentions were lewd, and this has already broken the rules. Swim back to the shore yourself. You don't need to continue participating in this blind date assembly."

Although Ye Liu was very unconvinced about being ambushed by Su Yu, after hearing Zhang Lexuan's words, there was no longer any look of grievance on his face. He didn't say anything more and had to swim toward the shore sullenly.

"This, this looks a bit dangerous. This classmate, you wouldn't be planning to take action against me too, would you..."

A student behind Su Yu asked with some lingering fear.

Su Yu replied: "If you perform normally, I naturally won't take action, but if you are lewd and malicious like Ye Liu, then I can't just stand by."

"Oh, I see..."

The most brilliant part of the later segments was still this guy Huo Yuhao. I don't know what method he used, but in that pair of magical eyes of his, he successively displayed various peculiar techniques and successfully lifted five bamboo hats.

Among these five bamboo hats were Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Han Ruoruo, Wu Feng, and Ning Tian, respectively.

Originally, Han Ruoruo did not intend to let Huo Yuhao lift hers, but at the moment Huo Yuhao lifted the bamboo hat, Ma Xiaotao, who was on the side, backhanded and pulled Han Ruoruo's off, which almost caused Han Ruoruo to rush out and fight Ma Xiaotao.

After Huo Yuhao returned, everyone also won the cheers of the crowd. After all, so far, Huo Yuhao was the person who had taken off the most bamboo hats.

The subsequent segments did not go as smoothly as imagined; some unlucky guys were even knocked into the water by the girls before they could get close.

Of course, not everyone could take off a bamboo hat. In this first segment, the number of bamboo hats taken off only determined the order of appearance in the second segment.

There were only eighteen girls in total, and after one segment, there were thirty-six people left on the field.

Next was the repositioning. According to the number of female students' bamboo hats taken off in the first round, the ranking was redone. Huo Yuhao, with a score of five bamboo hats, took the first place in the first row as a matter of course.

As for Su Yu, he was ranked in the fifth position of the first row, which meant that in the second segment, he would be the second to appear. However, Su Yu didn't care; anyway, he came for Wang Dong'er, and as long as he could ensure that he was the first to lift her bamboo hat in the first segment, that was enough.

"Next is the second segment." Bei Bei said loudly: "After the acquaintance in the first segment, next is the time for the girls to express who they are interested in. Therefore, this second segment of ours is called, Love at First Sight. The rules are very simple: every female student will receive a switch that can control the Soul Guidance Lamp beneath them."

They will light the lamp for each male student respectively. As long as a boy receives a lamp left on by a female student, they can continue to stay here and participate in the following segments. But if, unfortunately, no female student leaves a lamp on for them, then, unfortunately, they can only leave our event."

Su Yu didn't need to worry at all, because Wang Dong'er would absolutely not be able to bear not leaving a lamp on for him. On the contrary, those who didn't have any brilliant performance in this segment had to worry.

Because in this segment, no matter how strong your strength is or how excellent you think you are, as long as no female student leaves a lamp on for you, you will be immediately eliminated. After all, the number of male students was already quite a bit higher than that of female students. Therefore, this segment was originally intended to simplify the situation.

Huo Yuhao bore the brunt, and the first one to face the big test was him. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie. If he really weren't nervous, he wouldn't have taken off five bamboo hats in the round.

"Please, Sea God Fairies, consider carefully. I will give you one minute. You must think it through! Moreover, I emphasize that if you do not leave a lamp on for any of the thirty-six male students, it also means that you will give up this blind date assembly and exit Sea God Lake."

The female students naturally had their own plans. Separated by a hundred meters, they all appeared very quiet, but no one knew whether they already had someone they were interested in in their hearts.

One minute passed quickly. At Zhang Lexuan's signal, Bei Bei continued to preside.

"Alright, then our second segment, Love at First Sight, now begins. First, please, Sea God Fairies, leave a lamp on for Huo Yuhao. In this second segment, leaving a lamp on does not mean you must choose him in the end; as long as you have 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 left a lamp on for him. Begin."

"Three, two, one." Following Bei Bei's countdown, several pale golden light beams went out, but due to Huo Yuhao's brilliant performance, he still received fifteen lamps.

The ones who extinguished his lamps were none other than Wu Feng and Zhu Lu, and as for the others, they were Inner Court senior sisters he didn't know.

"Alright, finished. There are a total of fifteen light beams. Yu Hao got off to a good start!" Bei Bei said with a smile.

Watching this scene, that fellow Huo Yuhao was also stunned; before this, he had originally thought that at most only Ling Luochen, Ma Xiaotao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and Jiang Nannan would leave their lights on for him, but he had not expected to encounter so many people leaving their lights on for him, which for a moment actually left this callow young boy feeling somewhat at a loss.

"The second one, He Cai Tou. Will all the Sea God Fairies please prepare." Bei Bei continued with this segment. Huo Yuhao had already passed.

He Cai Tou did not have as good a mindset as Huo Yuhao; right now, he did not even dare to lift his head, fearing that he would be miserably eliminated.

Although this was only the second segment, this segment was already enough to prove whether Xiao Xiao had any favorable impression of him.

"Begin."

Following Bei Bei's shout of "begin," Huo Yuhao only felt the scene before his eyes dim, as the large swathes of lights opposite him were rapidly extinguished.

Exactly the opposite of Huo Yuhao, the previous act of aiming the Seven-level Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon at the opposite side had truly deducted quite a few points for He Cai Tou. Moreover, his hulking physique and dark skin really did not fit the aesthetic of the vast majority of the young ladies. If He Cai Tou's skin were a bit fairer, if he took good care of his image, and styled a suitable haircut, it is thought he would not have ended up in such a miserable state.

"They wouldn't all be extinguished, would they? Don't! At least leave one for me!" He Cai Tou wailed in a low voice; as the lights opposite were extinguished in large swathes, He Cai Tou's heart felt as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss...

Fortunately, when the vast majority of the lights had been extinguished, there were ultimately still three that remained.

First, within one beam of light was Wang Dong, who in the past on that competition field had been like a goddess of life, reflecting a beauty not of this world amidst ten thousand mirrors; next was the elegant and peerless Jiang Nannan.

Jiang Nannan smiled slightly at He Cai Tou, her eyes carrying a bit of encouragement. It was just unclear whether He Cai Tou could see it from so far away. Clearly, she was still very much in favor of the romance between He Cai Tou and Xiao Xiao; as for Wang Dong, it went without saying, she was absolutely loyal to He Cai Tou!

At this moment, He Cai Tou felt his whole body go limp, and the clothes on his back were completely soaked through with sweat. To him, that short minute that had just passed was like walking through the gates of hell; in other words, he would rather go and fight another great battle with Luo Yu than suffer such torment—it was too agonizing.

Besides Jiang Nannan, the one remaining within the beam of light was none other than Xiao Xiao. With Xiao Xiao's light left on, He Cai Tou also firmed his own conviction; he firmly believed that, just as Su Yu had said, he would definitely succeed.

"Wang Dong and Nannan are truly loyal!" He Cai Tou couldn't help but exclaim in praise.

Huo Yuhao also chuckled and said, "Second Senior Brother, why don't you praise Xiao Xiao? She also left her light on for you, after all."

"That's right, that's right, after all, Xiao Xiao also left her light on for you; it seems your hope has increased by a few points. You must perform well in what follows." Su Yu, who was to the side, also spoke up to encourage him.

He Cai Tou wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Su Yu, but I am really so nervous, what should I do? I, I..."
