Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: Love at First Sight

Upon witnessing Zhao Jiancheng’s self-display, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but feel a strange sensation.

It was a feeling of relaxation, familiarity, and warmth.

This is the Douluo Planet! His homeland. Around him were familiar Soul Masters, the familiar Sea God’s Lake, and the familiar Eternal Tree. Here, he didn’t need to be constantly vigilant, nor did he need to disguise himself as a woman. This warm and lovely feeling truly made his heart sway. Although he knew he might be challenged today, he still felt extremely comfortable.

Home at last, how wonderful.

“Please welcome the second candidate.” Shan Wei’s voice rang out once again, and the young man to the left of Lan Xuanyu also glided out. The lotus leaf beneath his feet slid across the surface of the water, close enough that if you paid attention, you would notice that the sliding lotus leaf didn’t even stir a single ripple as if it were floating above the surface of the lake.

This young man looked slightly younger than Zhao Jiancheng, with a friendly smile on his face. He was a little short, about 1.7 meters, but well-proportioned with a gentle smile that easily gave a good impression.

“Hello to all the senior and junior female students. My name is Zhang Yuanrong, and I have been in the inner court for four years. Although I’m not very tall, as the saying goes, ‘Concentration is the essence’, I am looking for a female classmate who is slightly shorter than me to be my partner, so that I wouldn’t feel too much pressure. Well, this is my Martial Soul.”

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and immediately, a dreamlike radiance burst forth—a seven-colored glow that instantly brightened the sky, casting a rainbow spanning across the heavens.

Rich energy fluctuations blossomed in the sky, giving an extraordinary sensation, and Lan Xuanyu felt all the elements in front of him become more active, especially the water and light elements. This was indeed an unusual Martial Soul that combined these two primary elements.

He had never seen a Rainbow Martial Soul before. The natural combination of light and water meant that the Martial Soul itself was in an elemental fusion state, implying its power when displayed would be tremendous.

Rings of Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, eight black Soul Rings oscillating up and down, but what they emitted was the power of an eight-ringed peak-level Cultivation. He didn’t say as much as Zhao Jiancheng did before him, but it must be said that the presentation of this Rainbow Martial Soul was indeed very eye-catching. It truly attracted the attention of many of the female students opposite.

The rainbow flowed down from the sky, reflecting at his feet like a soft bridge, carrying his body back to its original position. He smiled and bowed to the opposite side as he completed his self-introduction.

Self-introduction need not be lengthy; as long as you clearly present yourself, your appearance and strength displayed are evident. The rest is left for the female students opposite to judge.

Next up was Lan Xuanyu. Without any further ado, the lotus leaf beneath his feet slid forward, propelling him towards the front.

As he appeared, he immediately attracted nearly all the gazes from the opposite side. Inevitably, because he was handsome!

With the halo of lake water as a backdrop, the robe-clad Lan Xuanyu, tall and straight, with jade-like features and star-bright eyes, shined brilliantly. As he glided forward on the surface of the lake, many of the female disciples from the Shrek Academy inner court felt a stir of emotions. Even all the surrounding light seemed to be overshadowed by Lan Xuanyu at this moment.

And the several dozen other male students participating in the matchmaking event seemed to be completely eclipsed by his brilliance.

For the Inner Court Female Students, aside from those who were members of the Thirty-Three Skywing and already knew him, most of them were strangers to him. But such handsome and young looks indeed won a lot of favor in an instant.

“Hello to all the senior female students. I am Lan Xuanyu.” He did not mention junior female students, as he was indeed the youngest in the entire inner court.

The last to join the inner court were members of the Thirty-Three Skywing, among which he was the youngest.

Therefore, among the women present, to him, there were only senior sisters, no junior sisters.

“Today, I came to participate in the matchmaking event mainly to fulfill a promise. I already have a loved one, and she is among you. Since the first time I saw her, her image has been deeply imprinted in my heart. Over the years, she has been by my side, accompanying me as I grow and take on adventures. With her presence, my heart remains calm, and I can bravely march forward. Sea God’s Luck is the most significant ceremony of our Shrek Academy, and for the disciples of Shrek Academy, it is the most beautiful moment to witness love. Therefore, we have chosen today to make our commitment here. Thus, I came.”

At this point, Lan Xuanyu’s smile on his face became more intense, his gaze fixed in one direction, locking onto a figure.

Others might not be able to discern who the girls opposite were, but he and she had spent days and nights together, sharing a bloodline, how could he not feel her presence?

Having said his piece, Lan Xuanyu gave a slight smile in the direction of the figure he was gazing at and then bowed to the other female students, his lotus leaf returned to its original position. From beginning to end, he never released his Martial Soul. He had no intention of displaying his abilities to anyone else. He did this to express his commitment to love only one person.

Sighs of resignation rose among the female students; clearly, they no longer stood a chance.

It was not uncommon for such a situation to occur at the Sea God’s Luck matchmaking event, it’s just that, most of the time, everyone would rather not see such a scenario unfold. After all, it meant they didn’t even have a chance to compete.

In Shrek Academy, it was not only male students who competed for female students. When faced with outstanding male representatives, female students would often take the initiative to boldly declare their love, hoping to seize their happiness.

Lan Xuanyu’s speech, though polite, had made it clear to everyone present his attitude that he only loved one person and would not consider others.

“Xuanyu Junior Brother, you’re quite confident, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid that your childhood sweetheart will reject you at the Sea God’s Luck matchmaking event? Don’t be too confident,” Zheng Longjiang chuckled and said aloud.

Lan Xuanyu’s face stiffened, and he shot him an annoyed look, remembering all too well how this person had wanted to trap him in the past. Under a seemingly honest appearance was a very scheming heart.

“Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. But I believe she won’t. And no one can take her away from me,” Lan Xuanyu said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, the determination and assertiveness in his words at that moment were unmistakably prominent, causing several of his male peers to look at him with interest.

Of course, they could all see that he was a new disciple who had just entered the inner court!

“Xuanyu Junior Brother, aren’t you being a bit too arrogant?” Zheng Longjiang looked as if he relished the chaos.

Lan Xuanyu responded with a bitter smile: “Senior Brother, there’s no need to stir up trouble. Anyway, you guys won’t let me off later either. Well, let’s take care of the business of matchmaking first. What do you think?”

Zheng Longjiang was taken aback by his words but instinctively sensed something and immediately felt a tumultuous rush in his heart, as if the river had overturned the sea. Was it him? Was he one of them?

Shan Wei also realized something and gently tugged at Zheng Longjiang’s sleeve.

Zheng Longjiang immediately snapped back to his senses, his expression unchanged, and smiled, “Then let’s continue. Next one.”

The student to Lan Xuanyu’s right moved the lotus leaf beneath his feet swiftly, seemingly unable to wait any longer as he slid out.
