SOUL LAND IV (DOULUO DALU) : ULTIMATE FIGHTING

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Sea God’s Luck on Sea God’s Lake

“I thought you wouldn’t come today,” said the Sea God Pavilion Master to Tang Wulin by her side.

Tang Wulin’s eyes held a touch of bewilderment, “The Sea God’s Luck on the Sea God’s Lake, I can still clearly remember, the scenes from the matchmaking event I attended back then. At that time, I didn’t know that I would be facing such a sight. It was after that event that Nana and Gu Yue merged into one, leaving only Gu Yuena in this world.”

“You only have her in your heart. Hmph!” said the Sea God Pavilion Master coldly, her voice audible only to him.

Tang Wulin shook his head with a hint of helplessness, “Today is the day my son is participating in the matchmaking event; as a father, how could I not come to see? I’ve missed out on many important moments in his life, but this time, it’s something I absolutely cannot miss.”

“Mhm. This matchmaking event is also an important test for him and his team. Whether they can pass this test is quite significant for him.”

“I believe in him.”

Not far from their boat, a man and a woman stood side by side, also looking forward to the illuminated surface of the lake with anticipation.

“My husband, Xuanyu and Xiuxiu are finally going to establish their relationship, I’m so happy,” said Nan Cheng, excitedly clutching Lan Xiang’s hand and speaking in a low voice.

Lan Xiang chuckled and said, “Yes! We’re going to have a daughter-in-law. They often carry out missions; it would be better for them to get married sooner after solidifying their relationship. Then they can have a grandchild for us.”

Nan Cheng said, “Yes! It’s a pity that Teacher Nana couldn’t come to see the matchmaking event. It would have been even better if she were here. Xuanyu told me yesterday that Teacher Nana should be waking up soon. Their legendary family is finally going to reunite.”

Lan Xiang, looking at his wife whose eyes were gradually reddening, chuckled softly, “Oh come on, you were talking about our family just yesterday. When Xuanyu told you that he will always have two mothers that are both his real moms, weren’t you crying enough?”

Nan Cheng replied irritably, “He said he has two dads and two moms, all of them his birth parents. Are you excluding yourself? Don’t you agree?”

Lan Xiang laughed heartily, “Why wouldn’t I agree? I have such a great son; how could I not recognize him. Speaking of which, although Shrek Academy is nice, our perpetual residence here has indeed prolonged our lives but is somewhat lonely. After the matchmaking event, how about I take you travelling, my wife? The money Xuanyu brought us yesterday will probably last us a lifetime.”

“Great. I want to visit Senluo Planet. I want to see real soul beasts. We’ve been studying Ancient Soul Beasts for so many years, but we haven’t seen any top-tier soul beasts. Xuanyu told me last time that he has friends over there, and we can go meet someone known as the Tiger King.”

“Alright, I’ll arrange it tomorrow. I don’t want to work much in the future, I’ll just accompany you to enjoy life.”

“You’ve said it now; you have to keep your promise.”

Now they lived permanently at Shrek Academy, and Tang Wulin would occasionally come to see them. Whenever Lan Xuanyu returned, he naturally visited his parents. Their life now could be said to be the most leisurely they have ever had. They have gradually come to accept completely the matter of Lan Xuanyu finding his birth parents.

Regarding Lan Xuanyu’s origins, Tang Wulin had personally told them, giving the couple a sense of being worlds apart. That was a child conceived ten thousand years ago! And yet, he became their son.

Today, they were specifically invited by the academy to watch the event. Their location was just next to the large boat where the God Rank strong were.

Originally, Tang Wulin was going to watch the event with them, but due to his special status, after consulting with the Sea God Pavilion Master, he stayed on the large boat.

By now, the sky had completely darkened. Suddenly, beams of light burst forth from the surface of the water, slicing through the sky and instantly illuminating the surroundings. Not only here, but all around the shore of Sea God’s Lake, columns of light also soared into the sky, perfectly outlining Sea God’s Lake.

Only during the grandest of celebrations would the surroundings of Sea God’s Lake be this lively. The people of Shrek City could all see the huge columns of light rising into the sky, illuminating the night.

Far away on the shore, many of Shrek Academy’s and Tang Sect’s best partners who had the privilege to live by the shore, stood there looking in this direction. Although they could only see a hazy glow, they all knew that today is the day of the Sea God’s Luck Matchmaking Ceremony.

The only pity was that the Sea God’s Luck Matchmaking Ceremony was not open to the public, as the virtual realm created by the Seven Holy Abyss blocked all outside views, even satellites in the sky could not capture the scenes within.

“Pavilion Master.” Zheng Longjiang and Shan Wei, hand in hand, stepped onto the water and stopped in front of the large boat, respectfully greeting the people on the boat.

The Sea God Pavilion Master said, “Let’s begin.”

“Yes.”

Although Zheng Longjiang could not be considered very handsome, his earnest appearance suited him quite well once he changed into a crisp silver-white ceremonial attire, and he appeared quite appealing. Moreover, his beautiful wife in a light golden gown complemented him, making them look like an attractive couple on the lake.

Zheng Longjiang waved towards the direction of the small boats in the distance.

Immediately, soft music began to play, and amidst the pleasant melody, Zheng Longjiang announced with a clear voice, “Above Sea God’s Lake, Sea God’s Luck.”

Shan Wei smiled and said, “This year’s matchmaking ceremony.”

Together, they declared in unison, “Officially begins.”

At once, the pleasant music became lively, and the entire lake filled with the sound of the music.

Lotus leaves floated over from afar. On each lotus leaf stood a figure; they separated themselves into two sides and rowed into the waters.

Behind the lotus leaves, ripples formed, moving neatly and orderly towards the center where the light pillars shone.

Each light pillar represented one participant of the matchmaking ceremony. As leaf after leaf covered each light pillar, the lotus leaves were illuminated by the light below, turning emerald and clear as if there were pieces of jade on the surface of the lake. Around the edges of the lotus leaves, rings of golden light blossomed outwards, enhancing the figures standing on the leaves with a unique sense of beauty.

Teachers on a nearby boat were already engaged in a lively discussion.

“It seems that there are especially many participants this year!”

“Yes! I heard that the thirty-some students who were exceptionally admitted into the Inner Court after graduating last year have all returned to participate together.”

Indeed, there were many participants in this year’s Sea God’s Luck Matchmaking Ceremony. When everyone was in position, there were males wearing long robes and females dressed in long dresses with veils and bamboo hats. Together, they totaled over seventy people.

Generally speaking, each year’s matchmaking ceremony only had about thirty to forty participants. This year’s number had nearly doubled, which was indeed a surprising change.

Zheng Longjiang and Shan Wei floated out, and two lotus leaves drifted over, supporting their weight. To participate in the Sea God’s Luck Matchmaking Ceremony, strength was absolutely required; just standing on the surface of these lotus leaves for a long time using Soul Power was no easy task.

Matchmaking ceremonies of different eras have their distinctions. In the early years, the act of moving from shore to stepping onto the lotus leaf was already an opportunity to display one’s strength. However, as times progressed, the strength of the inner court disciples has become increasingly strong, with almost none below seven rings, thus this part of the ritual was omitted.

Zheng Longjiang and Shan Wei approached the male and female students participating in the matchmaking ceremony, and their smiles became even warmer.

Zheng Longjiang smiled and said, “Greetings to all the junior brothers and sisters, as well as the senior brothers and sisters. I am today’s host, Zheng Longjiang. As someone who has been through this, I must introduce to you the lady beside me—my wife, the stunningly beautiful Shan Wei, with whom I established a relationship at the matchmaking ceremony.”
