Chapter 1696: Mutual Admiration (Part 2, Please Subscribe)_1

The other female students also released their soul skills, fending off the phantoms and protecting their bamboo hats from being lifted…

The male student seemed somewhat unwilling to admit defeat and released his other soul skills again, but to little effect. He couldn't even lift off a single girl's bamboo hat!

Afterward, feeling humiliated, he silently hung his head…

Seeing this, the other male students couldn't help but click their tongues, "Tsk… if this student's attack was so easily blocked, doesn't it mean that if I go up, the outcome will be the same?"

"Dumbass, do you really not get it? If a girl actually likes you, why would she go on the defense? It's definitely because you're not her type," someone retorted.

"Tsk… I see. So if I'm handsome enough, even if I'm not that strong, the female students might lift their bamboo hats for me!" another student inferred.

"All that is nonsense. We're already in a sorry state when the girls can't help each other. If they were to unite, we'd all end up with egg on our face!" one theorized.

"Don't give up everyone. That guy is just a three-ring Soul Venerable. It's normal that he couldn't lift the girls' bamboo hats. In the end, it's still up to those of us with real strength!" another encouraged.

Seeing this, Cai Yue'er smiled and said, "It seems this student's strength is limited, and he hasn't won the favor of any of the girls! The other male students need to step up their game!"

"Next up, male student number two! Will he be able to succeed?"

The second male student was handsome and scholarly-looking. With a slight bow, he said, "My dear junior and senior sisters, my apologies in advance!"

He then hesitated no further and released his Martial Soul, four Soul Rings rising up from beneath his feet, revealing him to be a four-ring Soul Ancestor!

Following that, he leaped directly toward one of the female students…

His idea was simple: since he couldn't succeed with long-range soul skills, he would personally snatch off the female student's bamboo hat!

As for the female student, seeing him charging at her, she became somewhat flustered but still instinctively resisted…

Having come this far, the male student naturally couldn't back down and recklessly reached out for her bamboo hat…

The female student furrowed her brow, quickly turned her head to dodge, but due to the turn, she couldn't maintain her balance and consequently bent over…

Left with no choice, she grabbed the male student's arm in an attempt to steady herself…

But the result was not as wonderful as imagined. Both of them fell into Sea God's Lake together, losing the eligibility to continue…

Cai Yue'er shook her head in disappointment and reminded, "Male students should be careful. If you're too rash, you'll end up in Sea God's Lake with the female students!"

"What the hell was this guy doing? He just cost us a sister. This makes me so angry!"

"There's already a scarcity of girls, and this guy just had to gross everyone out. I'm tempted to punch him!"

"Yeah, how can he be so rough with the girls? This is a matchmaking event, not a battleground!"

Xie Xie looked disdainfully at the male student who had fallen into the water and said sarcastically, "That student is truly a fool. But well… it's Yue Zhengyu's turn next. With his strength, he should at least lift the bamboo hats of a dozen female students!"

Tang Wulin noncommittally replied, "Hmm! Yue Zhengyu is well-known throughout the academy. Not only is he handsome, but he's also seen as a white knight by some female students!"

Xu Lizhi muttered softly under his breath, "I wonder if he'll be able to lift up Sister Xinglan's bamboo hat…"

Then it was the turn of Yue Zhengyu, who stood at the third spot!

With a slight smirk on his face, he didn't rush into action. Instead, he bowed like a gentleman and started introducing himself to the female students, "Hello, beauties. I'm Yue Zhengyu from the Inner Court. I joined this Sea God's Fate Matchmaking event to find a fated partner, so please give me a chance!"

He certainly wouldn't act like the previous male students, who started attacking without saying anything, as that would cause his impression among the girls to plummet!

Just as expected, his handsome appearance, exquisite attire, and that polite demeanor directly won the favor of many female students…

Immediately afterwards, Yue Zhengyu took advantage of the situation to release his Martial Soul, suspending six Soul Rings beneath his feet!

Four purple, two black! A proper Six-ringed Soul Emperor!

His formidable strength once again garnered the favor of the female students, some of whom were even ready to forego lifting their own hats…

However, to everyone's surprise, Yue Zhengyu didn't make a move but rather extended his palm, within which a small angel with white wings took shape.

It rubbed its eyes as though it had just woken up, looking so adorably lazy that it was enough to make one's nose bleed!

Yue Zhengyu gently spoke, "Go, lift off the hats of the girls and ladies!"

The little Angel Soul Spirit blinked its sparkling eyes energetically and started flapping its wings toward a female student up ahead…

The latter felt her heart melting and couldn't help exclaiming, "What… what an adorable Soul Spirit! Hurry, let big sister touch you!"

Who knew the little angel would respond in a pitiful tone, "I can't, master said only the big sisters who lift their hats can have close contact with me!"

The female student hesitated for a moment, then actively removed her own hat…

Following that, she said excitedly, "Big sister has taken off her hat now, quick, let me pet you!!"

The little angel naturally flew into the palm of her hand, enjoying her caresses…

Seeing his plan succeed, Yue Zhengyu, not far away, revealed an almost imperceptible sly smile…

After all, why rely on brute force when you can win with intelligence?

Moreover, the strength of the female students in this cohort was generally stronger than that of the male students!

As for the other male students, their mouths twitched involuntarily…

"Is he… really an inner court student? To use such despicable means!"

"Despicable, but effective…"

"Damn it, a Six-ringed Soul Emperor, why use such methods? It's too shameless!"

"Yeah, had I known that a cute Soul Spirit could attract female students, I would have gone to get one especially!"

"Is it still possible to get a cute Soul Spirit now? Online waiting!"

Sailing across Sea God's Lake, Turbid World chuckled, "To think of such a method, Yue Zhengyu is indeed quite clever!"

Ya Li commended, "I think it's rather nice; it avoids the risk of the female students falling into the water and also succeeds in lifting their hats!"

Tang Yinmeng propped her chin with a hand and lamented, "Not just anyone can use this tactic, it requires the handsome looks of Yue Zhengyu. Otherwise, no matter how adorable the Soul Spirit is, it's pointless!"
