No wonder I used to run into him so often at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. It seems that Young Master Cao is one of his kind!
Xu Sanshi couldn't help but think to himself.
Seeing that the atmosphere was quite right, Bei Bei continued her introduction, "My Grandmaster and I are the hosts for this event. The entire event is divided into five parts, the first of which is the entrance."
"The venue is on Sea God Lake, and there are only lights, no stage. The only place you can stand is on the water lilies."
"Water lilies? Wouldn't that put me at a disadvantage with my physique?" He Caitou's face was also full of worry. After all, this plant called water lilies is quite fragile, especially for adults.
To be honest, he's not very good at using his Soul Power to control his own weight, and his Martial Soul isn't a flying type, so he's at a disadvantage in this regard.
At this moment, Bei Bei said with a smile, " He Caitou, you're Soul Engineer, what are you afraid of? Just make a Soul Tool that can float on water."
Upon hearing this, the group from the Soul Guidance Department breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the use of Soul Tool was allowed in this event, which made things much easier.
After Bei Bei's subsequent explanation, everyone understood that the first step was mainly to lift the veil covering the female trainees' faces, which were covered by straw hats.
They traversed the 100-meter water surface, each using their own methods to unveil the female trainees, who, of course, also had the initiative to defend themselves.
This added a bit of difficulty to the conference, but also brought more joy.
If you fail to uncover your hand or fall into the water, you will be eliminated and will not be able to proceed to the next round.
"This first round of activities is also a time for you all to showcase your strength. Undoubtedly, whoever can lift the most hats will demonstrate their greater strength."
At this moment, Chen Beifeng, who was standing to the side, said, "How about we have a competition to see who can open up more straw hats first?"
Bei Bei shook her head and said, "I still advise you to give up this idea. After all, many of the senior students from the Inner Court who are participating this time are already at the level of Eight-Ring Soul Douluo."
"They won't just watch you mess around."
Everyone gasped in surprise, their expressions instantly becoming exaggerated as they exclaimed in disbelief, "Are these senior girls really that amazing? Some of them are even Eight-Ring Soul Douluo!"
"Hey! You guys don't understand, do you? Come on, I'll tell you in a secret." At this moment, everyone present leaned in to listen, Bei Bei whispered, "These senior girls are usually around twenty-five to thirty years old."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but ask curiously, "They're so old, why haven't they graduated from the Inner Court yet?"
Cao Yu smiled and voiced his thoughts, "I guess he's not graduating because he hasn't found a partner yet."
Slapping her thigh, Bei Bei chuckled and said, "You really guessed right. These senior students are all quite beautiful, you could say they're top-tier beauties. It's just that their tempers are a bit fiery, which causes many male students to avoid them."
After a while, he began to reassure everyone, saying, "But don't worry, we have more senior students from the Inner Court to deal with these female students, so you don't need to worry about it."
Everyone was amused; after all, even if the sky were to fall, there were tall people to help hold it up.
It's just a bit of a hardship for the senior students in the Inner Court.
However, Cao Yu chuckled from the side, saying with a hint of smugness, "Hey... that's because you don't understand how good my senior is. Look at Senior Xiaotao Tao, she used to have a fiery temper, but now she's so good to me."
Besides, my senior has a great figure; it's something you mere mortals could never know.
"Huh--" Everyone looked at him with disdain, their expressions full of envy.
" Cao Yu, I have to admit you're better than me in this regard!"
Even a girl with such a strong temper could be tamed, which left Bei Bei speechless with admiration.
"However, as far as I know, there are a surprisingly large number of female students in your year who passed the Inner Court examination, and a small portion of them are from Cao Yu's class."
"A total of seventy-five people attended the conference, including thirty-five female students and forty male students. The number of men and women was almost equal, which broke the academy's long-standing record and can only be described as a miracle!"
The academy used to be a place where there were far more wolves than sheep, with the number of female students in the Inner Court being far less than that of male students. However, this year, a huge change has taken place.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao suddenly remembered something, looked at Cao Yu with a grin, and then joked, "Could it be that all the female students in our class admire Brother Yu, the class monitor, and that's why they worked so hard to get into the Inner Court?"
Huo Yuhao knew very well that most of the girls in the class had a good impression of Brother Yu.
After all, Brother Yu has a handsome face and is very good at charming girls.
Shaking his head, Cao Yu firmly denied it, saying, " Yuhao, that's not true at all!"
Everyone covered their mouths and laughed without saying a word, which made Cao Yu feel as if his explanation had no effect whatsoever.
Forget it, I'm not going to explain anymore.
After Bei Bei explained the rules, everyone gained a general understanding of the rules of the conference.
After entering, the first part involves unveiling oneself. The second part is self-introduction. In the third part, the female trainees leave their lights on for the male trainees.
"If none of the lights are lit, then unfortunately, this male contestant will be eliminated."
"In the fourth segment, the female trainees choose their favorite items and introduce themselves. If they choose one of you, you can then choose whether or not to have them stand on your respective water lilies."
"Of course, the choice is yours."
"The fifth step is the final step: successfully holding hands."
The whole process is actually quite similar to the dating show format in the original world.
However, it presents even greater challenges.
After Bei Bei finished explaining all the steps, everyone came to their senses. They had been so focused on listening to him that they hadn't had time to eat.
Half an hour later, everyone left the restaurant satisfied.
Xu Sanshi patted his round belly, his expression suggesting he was quite full.
He let out a burp and said slowly, " Bei Bei, remember to take good care of me at the conference. I'll definitely reward you handsomely afterwards."
He Caitou and Ye Xiaosheng also gathered around, putting their arms around Bei Bei's shoulders, "Don't forget your brothers, feel free to ask for anything afterwards."
And so, the group returned to the Shrek Academy amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.
They waved goodbye after arriving at the square and went back to their dormitories to rest.
Several days passed just like that.
All the Inner Court disciples finally awaited the day when the Sea God's Fate Convention would arrive.
As the sun began to set on the horizon, the sky gradually darkened.
" Brother Yu, you look really handsome today."
Xu Sanshi, however, quipped from the side, "That's called being flamboyant."
Cao Yu laughed and scolded, "You're not much different either."
After getting dressed, everyone happily made their way to Sea God Lake.
Perhaps because the Sea God's Fate Matchmaking Convention is about to be held, Sea God Island, surrounded by Sea God Lake, is exuding a subtle and enchanting atmosphere.
