Ye Xiaosheng and Chen Beifeng cheered them on with all their might.
"Hmm! Boss Cao, keep it up! Try to lift all the girls' veils!"
"Haha, don't worry, I definitely won't let the brothers down!"
Cao Yu raised his hand and waved to the crowd, then took a deep breath and stepped across the hundred-meter-long water as if heading to his execution.
Finally, it hovered about five meters away from the female student opposite.
He inexplicably felt immense pressure, as if several eyes were staring directly at him, seemingly harboring some mischievous intent.
"The feeling is very strong, so is there any need to look for it?"
He then looked in the direction from which the gaze was coming from, and the figures there were all a good match.
Without further hesitation, Cao Yu lightly touched the water's surface with his toes and flew forward. He then stretched out his hands, about to open the headscarves of the female students, when his fingers were struck hard by their fists.
As he retreated, he could vaguely see the people behind the veils secretly laughing smugly.
"Sisters, you're getting more and more mischievous!"
It seems I can't afford to be careless, since my girlfriends are deliberately keeping a close watch on me.
" First Soul Skill, Shadow Evasion!"
Then his Soul Ring lit up, and Cao Yu's speed became so fast that he turned into a blurry afterimage.
However, the opponent was constantly dodging and launching defensive attacks.
After several rounds, without using their Martial Soul, they were still no match for Cao Yu's speed, and in the end, all of them had their hats pulled off.
These people were Tang Ya, Ning Tian, Jiang Nannan Xiao Xiao, Meng Hongchen, and Ju Zi, as well as Wang Dong.
She should be called Wang Dong'er now.
As for Ma Xiaotao, she had already graduated from the Inner Court, so she was not here.
Wang Qiu'er had only recently arrived and had not yet passed the Inner Court's assessment, so she was not among them.
Otherwise, if Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er were to gather together, wouldn't the two girls be jealous of each other? After all, they look like twin sisters.
However, Cao Yu clearly didn't mind, since it meant double the fun.
After gazing at each other for a long time, Wang Dong'er still shyly lowered her head, not daring to look at him. Her face was flushed red, and the tears in her eyes seemed to hide too many things she wanted to say to him.
"Well... wives, I'll head back now."
Upon hearing Cao Yu's words, Wang Dong'er immediately raised her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling with joy.
He... he actually talked about wives!
Does that mean... it includes me too?
And it only lifted the veil over the seven of us.
Could it be... that this guy figured me out?
But just as Wang Dong'er was about to ask him a question, Cao Yu had already turned and flown away into the distance.
She could only keep her questions to herself; it seemed she would have to ask them later.
As the last male student to finish, Cao Yu's great success clearly excited the other male students present.
Everyone congratulated him happily, saying, "Well done, Cao Yu!"
Thank you, and I hope everyone has a successful night.
Haha, let's encourage each other!
After this first stage, the original forty male trainees were reduced to thirty-five.
Several of the male students who tried to take shortcuts met with bad ends; all five of them were forced into the water and left soaking wet by the tough female students.
After this segment, the emotions of all the Inner Court students were fully stirred up.
All the male trainees' gazes were incredibly intense, and the vast majority of them were focused on the girls they liked.
The next step begins with a change of positions, based on the number of times a straw hat is removed.
So even if Cao Yu wanted to appear later, there was nothing he could do, since the seven bamboo hats he took off were the most numerous in the entire event.
He was also the first to appear, albeit reluctantly.
"Next is the second part," Bei Bei announced loudly. "After getting to know each other in the first part, it's time for the girls to express which one they like."
"Therefore, the rules for this second segment are very simple: each female student will receive a switch to control the Soul Guidance Lamp beneath her, and they will light up the lamps for each male student."
"Any male student who receives a female student's light can stay and participate in the next segment. However, if unfortunately no female student leaves their light on for them, then, unfortunately, they will have to leave this event."
After Bei Bei finished explaining the rules, it was the female trainees' turn to observe for one minute. After the observation period ended, Zhang Lexuan slowly announced:
"Alright, let's begin our second segment, 'Love at First Sight.' First, please, all you Sea God goddesses, leave your lamps lit for Cao Yu."
Bei Bei gestured as she said, "Three, two, one."
As soon as he finished speaking, only five or six lamps were turned off intermittently.
When I opened my eyes, I saw those older female students.
Seeing this, Cao Yu breathed a deep sigh of relief.
After all, Xiaotao and Ju Zi were enough for the senior student; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to handle it.
As for those who left the light on for him, besides Tang Ya and the others, there were quite a few faces from the original Class One.
He saw his former beautiful classmate Luo Yan, and her figure was getting better and better.
However, to Cao Yu's great surprise, even Wu Feng, who often opposed him, left a light on for him.
After meeting her gaze, Wu Feng seemed a little embarrassed and shy.
What's going on?
Please, please don't like me, okay? Cao Yu prayed to himself for a moment, then looked away and stopped looking at her.
"Okay, that's all. Congratulations, junior Cao Yu, a total of twenty-nine girls kept their lights on for you. I hope the male students can continue to work hard!" Bei Bei said with a smile.
The second round continued, and the female trainees were quite ruthless.
Of course, Cao Yu might be an exception, or perhaps it's because he's quite handsome.
"Ugh! This face is just too good to pass up!" Damn it! Cao Yu is woken up by his own handsome face every morning, which is a real source of annoyance for him.
Soon it was He Caitou's turn, but his situation was rather dire; only a quarter of the lights were left on for him.
Ye Xiaosheng and Chen Beifeng were in a slightly better situation, while Xu Sanshi was in a similar situation.
When it came to Huo Yuhao, twenty lights were left on, most of which were left by the female students from the original class.
The boys who came after them weren't so lucky. As the lights went out round by round, after the second round, only twenty-six male trainees remained on the field.
"Fat people have no human rights! No human rights at all!"
Because of his obesity, Xie Huanyue's fate was much more tragic; when he left the arena, not a single lamp smiled upon him.
What puzzled many of the male trainees was why, even though there were 35 female trainees, they were still desperately trying to eliminate male trainees.
At this point, a male senior student said, "Now there are only twenty-six male students left, so are the nine extra female students doomed to never find a boyfriend?"
Xu Sanshi, however, chuckled slyly from the side, "Hey! You don't understand, do you? Come closer and I'll tell you."
