Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the Sea God's Fate event arrived.

Night, Sea God Lake, about two hundred meters from Sea God Island, white Soul Guidance Lamp illuminate three rows of neatly arranged water lilies.

Each row of water lilies has twelve spots, where an Inner Court male Disciple stands. On the lake surface a hundred meters away opposite them stand eighteen Sea God's Fate Fairy dressed in white robes and wearing bamboo hats to cover their faces.

Each of the Sea God's Fate Fairy was bathed in a soft yellow light, and with their flowing white robes and the shimmering lake, even without seeing their faces, one could still imagine their beauty from their graceful figures.

Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan, as the hosts, had already arrived at the scene.

However, the two of them stood directly on the lake surface. After all, with Zhou Huan, an Ice Attribute Soul Master, there was plenty of ice to step on.

After everyone had taken their positions, and even some Sea God Pavilion member had come to watch the spectacle had boarded a large ship not far away, Zhou Huan and Zhang Lexuan immediately announced, "A thousand years of Shrek, a moment of destiny. I hope everyone's wishes will come true tonight. So without further ado, let the Sea God's Fate on Sea God Lake begin!"

Zhang Lexuan first introduced the rules, "The first round of the Sea God's Fate is 'Kindred Spirits.' The content is simple: the boys can showcase their various abilities to unveil the mystery of the Sea God's Fate Fairy. Of course, if you make a mistake and get knocked into the lake by the girl on the other side, you'll be eliminated."

"The first one to appear is Xu Sanshi!"

Clearly, during the earlier competition for the water lily spot, Xu Sanshi's Mysterious Nether Swap secured him the best position.

Xu Sanshi activated his Mysterious Nether Turtle Shield instantly, appearing before the eighteen girls in a flash. He began to observe each one, commenting, "Nannan, I'm here. Hmm, this one's a bit chubby, not Nannan. This one's a bit thin, not..."

The content was too lewd, and Zhou Huan thought Xu The Simp, was indeed foul-mouthed, so she lost interest in listening further. She then started chatting with Zhang Lexuan beside her. "Sister Lexuan, if someone confessed their feelings to you, how would you prefer it to be?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan paused slightly, then calmly said, "Just say it directly."

That's so typical of my Senior Disciple Sister!

At the same time, Jiang Nannan, who was still wearing a straw hat, couldn't stand Xu Sanshi's obsequious manner any longer and said coldly, "Xu Sanshi, if you keep talking, let's see what happens!"

But wouldn't making a sound expose us?

The water lily patch wasn't very big to begin with. Once they found their target, with Xu Sanshi's strength and Huo Gua's cheating, Jiang Nannan's bamboo hat was removed in just a few moments.

Seeing this, Zhou Huan couldn't help but take another look at Huo Gua; it was indeed his style.

Actually, Zhou Huan saw Huo Gua the moment he arrived at Sea God Lake tonight, but he certainly wouldn't take the initiative to greet him, since their relationship was only that of ordinary classmates.

It's been two and a half years since I last saw him, and judging from his appearance alone, Huo Gua has become even more robust than before.

However, his use of Mental Share, which he frequently employed to cheat, especially during the Mingdu Soul Master Competition in the original storyline, was utterly devoid of sportsmanship and completely unacceptable. Does he really believe that so-called honor is obtained through cheating?

Zhou Huan expressed his disdain for doing so.

With Zhou Huan present at this competition, he wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan, who was standing nearby, noticed that Zhou Huan was frowning and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Huan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things."

Immediately afterwards, it was the second male Disciple's turn to go on stage on the lake.

This is an Inner Court Senior Student named Ye Liu, who is even a Seven-Ring Soul Sage with a Swan Martial Soul.

Unfortunately, he was even more wicked than Xu Sanshi. He actually used his Martial Soul advantage to stir up the lake water, hoping to get everyone soaked. As expected, he was first burned away by Wu Ming Golden Crow Saintess, who was also a Soul Sage, and then he was tied up by his Second Senior Sister, Han Ruoruo, and thrown out with a Golden Rope.

The third one to take the stage was obviously Huo Gua.

Huo Gua slowly walked forward, and with each step, a small piece of ice would appear on the lake surface beneath his feet as a foothold.

Before long, Huo Gua arrived before the eighteen Sea God's Fate Fairy.

Huo Gua's aura suddenly changed, and five Soul Ring— red, black, black, orange-gold, and orange-gold—instantly lit up. In particular, when the last two orange -Golden Soul Ring flashed, a Soul Beast resembling a Little Monkey appeared on Huo Gua's shoulder.

At this moment, everyone on the lake, including the Sea God Pavilion member on the boat, were completely dumbfounded, with expressions ranging from shock and curiosity to bewilderment.

Zhou Huan's gaze sharpened, and he thought to himself, "As expected of the Son of Destiny Douluo Continent!"

Even without the Snow Empress, he still managed to create two orange-gold Soul Ring, just two fewer than when he obtained the Snow Empress.

And Electrolux is really something else. I don't know if he's dead or not, but his Soul Spirit has definitely been brought out.

It was obvious that the Little Monkey, less than a foot tall, Huo Gua's shoulder was the Soul Spirit.

However, Zhou Huan wondered why that Little Monkey looked somewhat familiar.

Just as Zhou Huan was wondering, Snow Empress's icy voice suddenly came from the Floating Pagoda: "Titan Snow Demon King, how could it..."

Okay, Zhou Huan understood immediately.

That Little Monkey is definitely Titan Snow Demon King; no wonder it looked familiar.

But Huo Gua, weren't you a spy at the Mingde Hall? How come you managed to find time to go to the Extreme North?

Although Zhou Huan understood that with the help of Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, and especially with the presence of the Electrolux Holy Necromancer, it was not surprising that they were able to trick Titan Snow Demon King.

But this would truly be a tragedy for the Extreme North.

These are the Three Great Heavenly Kings, plus the Ice Bear King; they've all been sent.

Therefore, Zhou Huan quickly transmitted his voice to the Snow Empress: "Empress, calm down. The Ice Empress and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm are both on him. It's not surprising that there are multiple Titan Snow Demon King. Didn't I tell you? Huo Yuhao is the Son of Destiny. This may not be a bad thing for the Titan Snow Demon King."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Empress's voice remained somewhat cold. "What I care about is not the Titan Snow Demon King, but the Extreme North the Titan Snow Demon King is absent."

Zhou Huan: "... Sigh, the matter is settled now, and we can only deal with the Extreme North later."

After a long silence, the Snow Empress sighed softly, "Very well, I am already in this state, what right do I have to care about others?"

Then, no more sounds came from the Floating Pagoda.

Zhou Huan could only express his helplessness; he couldn't offer any comfort in this situation.

"Why are you spacing out again? You're the host!" Zhang Lexuan nudged Zhou Huan's arm.

"Uh, Snow Empress met a friend," Zhou Huan whispered.

"A friend of the Snow Empress?" Zhang Lexuan looked at Zhou Huan in surprise, then realized something and turned to look at the Little Monkey that was jumping around on the shoulders of several Sea God's Fate Fairy.

So Zhang Lexuan asked, "What is that Little Monkey that Huo Yuhao created...?"

Zhou Huan nodded. "That monkey must be a new kind of being. In any case, Huo Yuhao should report to your Sea God Pavilion after the Sea God's Fate ends."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lexuan simply hummed in agreement and didn't ask any further questions, as the Matchmaking Gala was still ongoing.

Although the Little Monkey isn't as cute Little Snow Girl, it's still very popular with girls. After all, few people can resist lively and agile little animals, especially girls.

Therefore, Huo Gua used the Little Monkey to remove the hats of four more Sea God's Fate Fairy, including Second Senior Sister Han Ruoruo, Golden Crow Saintess Wu Ming, and even the last two were Xiao Xiao and Wang Qingya.

That's right, Xiao Xiao and Wang Qingya also came to participate in the event.

These two girls were just there for the fun of it, since there were already very few girls in the Inner Court.

It's strange, considering that girls make up less than a third of the Inner Court, apart from Zhou Huan, the top four strongest students are all girls.

There's no need to elaborate on Zhang Lexuan, the Senior Disciple Sister; next are the Second Senior Sister Han Ruoruo, the Golden Crow Saintess Wu Ming, and the Flame Demon Ma Xiaotao, all of whom are ranked among the top.

As for the male Disciple of the Inner Court, Zhou Huan had never seen any of them stronger than the four of them.

If Ma Xiaotao hadn't come tonight, otherwise, Ye Liu, who caused trouble just now, wouldn't have been just tied up and thrown out.

Even so, Zhou Huan glanced at the field and couldn't help but sigh, "The male disciples of the Inner Court disciple are no good."

After Huo Gua removed the hats of the four Sea God's Fate Fairy, it was time for the male Disciple to show their strength. Unfortunately, even though the remaining thirty-three boys had all taken their turn, the hats of three girls were still not removed.

Here it's worth mentioning that none of the remaining boys brought the silly guy He Caitou with their Soul Cannon.

He didn't even attend the Sea God's Fate event.

Zhou Huan understood this perfectly well, because due to his interference in the previous Soul Master Competition, He Caitou Xiao Xiao never had that two-on-two Confrontation Match where they fought side by side to the death.

Therefore, Zhou Huan nipped the very slightest budding romance in the bud.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Xiao Xiao, who is obsessed with good looks, to fall in love with He Caitou.

As for He Caitou and honest appearance; he is actually a former Crown Prince seeking revenge.

If it weren't for that disgusting "guiding people to goodness" drama at Qiankun Love-Seeking Valley, our He Caitou would definitely be a revenge-driven protagonist.

Therefore, He Caitou has no interest in dating right now; he'd rather stay in the lab tinkering with his Soul Cannon!

"But... sigh, what a pity," Zhou Huan sighed. However, he didn't plan to "save" the scenario of avenging the former Crown Prince in the future, after all, he wasn't exactly close to He Caitou.

"Why are you sighing? Focus on your work," Zhang Lexuan said softly beside her. "We're about to move on to the Two-Ring."

"Alright." Zhou Huan nodded slightly, then turned to the crowd and announced loudly, "After Kindred Spirits, our Two-Ring begins— Love at First Sight! Please welcome our first male guest— Huo Yuhao! Sea God's Fate Fairy, please prepare to press your lights."
