In front of them, Coco asked softly, "Brother Lu, what are the ancient Xia and Lu clans?"
Zora, Michelle, and Meng Yue also looked over.
Lu Yin answered matter-of-factly, "I tricked him."
Coco blinked. "It sounds like the real deal."
Beside them, Xia Luo laughed. "That's because the Xia and Lu clans are both primeval surnames. You're used to hearing about primeval surnames, so it's natural for you to think that they exist."
"Brother Lu, he's still following us. It seems like he hasn't given up yet." Coco looked back.
Lu Yin grunted. "Don't worry about him. We'll participate in the selection."
After his scare, it was guaranteed that Feng Mo would not dare to kill anyone. If they were lucky, they would be able to escape the selection. However, the Bo Duo were troublesome. With the Blackbeard Pirates pressuring them, it was very likely that they would be forced to come personally. They were not Feng Mo, who could withdraw at any time, but they would definitely not let him go. Thus, they still had to participate in the selection. At the very least, they had to delay until the tracking devices in their seniors' bodies were removed.
More and more people gathered around them. The seaweed was not arranged in a straight line, but rather spread out in all directions. This meant that the people on the surrounding seaweed had all gathered here to watch the show.
Even if they could not participate in the selection, they still had to watch.
In the distance, a majestic ship was anchored. It was not a spacecraft, but a real ship. It exuded an austere aura that seemed to be entwined with a powerful force, causing everyone who approached to keep quiet out of fear.
From a distance, countless people were gathered below the ship, and even more people were gathering. All around them were cultivators wearing blue ring armor. These people were directly under the Sea King's Dome, and they were the Sea King's subordinates.
The Sea King's Dome was the strongest overlord of the Starfall Sea, but almost all of its soldiers were Limiteers and Explorers, which puzzled the crowd.
However, Hui Daynight explained, "It's because no one dares to attack the Sea King's Dome."
Countless people were gathered below the ship. There were too many people in Lu Yin's group, and even if they qualified, each person could only bring four people with them. Thus, the group was split into three groups: Lu Yin, Lulu, Michelle, and Big Pao, Xia Luo, Darkvoid, Meng Yue, and Coco. The last group consisted of Hui Daynight, Zhao Yilong, Little Pao, and Zora.
As he walked through the crowd, he could hear the discussions of the Sea King's son-in-law selection.
"Have you heard? Experts from the Top 100 Rankings have appeared at other entrances," someone said.
Lu Yin and the rest stopped and listened attentively. The Top 100 Rankings attracted the most attention no matter where one went.
"I've heard that it's Qin Chen. He's ranked eighty-eighth on the Top 100 Rankings.
"Not only that, but it's rumored that Northgate Lie has arrived as well. Two experts from the Top 100 Rankings have arrived."
Someone else spoke up. "It's not just the Top 100 Rankings; even the unequaled Limiteer Ling Que has arrived. He originally wanted to challenge someone, but he just so happened to arrive in time for the Sea King's son-in-law selection."
"These people are only on the surface. Who knows how many experts have gathered here from the shadows, as well as the heirs of great powers? If the Sea King's son-in-law selection hadn't been so harsh, then the number of experts that would have been attracted would have increased by several times, or even dozens of times."
"Yeah, there are very few people under the age of twenty-five who are close to becoming a Cruiser."
…
Lu Yin had not expected Northgate Lie, Qin Chen, or even Ling Que to come. This selection had indeed attracted a considerable number of powerhouses, but Northgate Lie had already surpassed the age limit.
The Sea King's conditions had been set just right. In truth, due to his memory loss, Lu Yin did not even know how old he was, but he should not be older than twenty-five. Big Pao and Little Pao were exactly twenty-five years old, and their true strength surpassed most Explorers. They could barely hold their own against a Cruiser, but they definitely would not be able to challenge a Cruiser. In other words, the two of them did not meet the qualifications. Those who qualified were at the same level as the Astral Combat Academy's student leaders, but they also had to break through to the Explorer realm.
Only one kind of person could reach this level, and that was the top heirs of great powers, such as Liu Shaoqiu. It was normal for top heirs to reach the Cruiser realm with the strength of an Explorer.
Above that were the experts on the Top 100 Rankings.
The Sea King was very picky, and those who had obtained the qualifications based on their strength were all very strong.
The Starfall Sea was located in a remote area, and it was unknown how many experts it would attract. Regardless, two of the Top 100 Rankings had already appeared.
There was also Ling Que, whose strength was comparable to those at the bottom of the Top 100 Rankings. He was also just a Limiteer, and like Lu Yin, he was also quite difficult to deal with.
"Let's go! The receptionist is on the ship!" Big Pao was very excited, and he pushed the group aside as he rushed forward.
Lu Yin and the other two followed, and they soon arrived at the front of the ship.
A group of Sea King's Dome soldiers blocked the group's path, and a young man stood below the ship with an ugly expression. On the ship, there was a young and beautiful woman dressed in disdain. Her eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain.
"You dare to come out with such a face? You're not just embarrassing yourself, you're embarrassing your parents and your unborn child. No, someone like you can't even find a wife, let alone a child. Hurry up and scram. You're tarnishing my eyes."
Lu Yin and the others had just arrived when they heard these words, and they looked at the woman on the ship in shock.
Someone beside them whispered, "This maid's mouth is too poisonous. She's not bad looking, or else she wouldn't have dared to come out."
"Shh, lower your voice. She's the maid of the Sea King's daughter, and she represents the Sea King's daughter. Her aesthetic standards should be similar."
"But her mouth is too poisonous. Listen, she's scolded so many people recently, and she's the successor of a great power."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We have to endure when facing the Sea King."
…
At that moment, another man walked out and pretended to be confident with his hands clasped behind his back. He bowed to the beautiful woman. "Hello, Miss."
"I can't get better when I see you. You disgust me," the woman said.
The man was stumped for a moment before he awkwardly left.
Soon after, another person walked out, but before he could speak, the beautiful woman covered her eyes. "My eyes hurt."
That person's mouth twitched, and he left.
One after another, none of them caught the woman's eye. They were all scolded until they doubted their lives, and none of them were repeated.
Lulu looked at Big Pao. "Senior, it's your turn. Go."
Big Pao's face twitched, and he coughed. "Actually, I think we should prepare a bit more. Things like temperament …" Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed away by Lulu. After that, a wave of merciless yet poetic insults burst forth. Big Pao returned with a pale face. "It's my fault for being born in this universe."
Lulu laughed.
To the side, Michelle suddenly laughed and looked at Lu Yin. "It's your turn."
Lu Yin gritted his teeth. "I want to gain the qualifications for strength."
"You can try. Who knows, she might like someone like you," Lulu urged.
Big Pao also pushed Lu Yin, but he did not budge. "Go, junior. Senior has high hopes for you."
Lu Yin sneered. He would rather die than go.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and no one dared to step forward.
On the ship, the beautiful woman disdainfully said, "A bunch of ugly people."
The more Lu Yin looked at her, the more he felt that this woman was asking for a beating.
Suddenly, there was an uproar from the crowd, and a man walked out with a smile on his face as he looked at the beautiful woman.
Lu Yin and the others were shocked when they saw the man; he was just too handsome.
Men could be as handsome as women, but this was relative. There was a kind of handsomeness that could attract other men, and it could even turn them gay. One such man had appeared in front of them, and then he boarded the ship. Behind him, the beautiful woman stared at him with infatuated gazes.
The crowd broke out into an uproar. "A Sentinel trash can even board the ship? How disgusting. Isn't the Sea King's daughter afraid of torturing him to death?"
"Rumor has it that the Sea King's daughter is ugly, so she's looking for a handsome guy."
"I heard that too. The Sea King wants to change the genes of the next generation, so she's been looking for a handsome guy for a long time."
"No, I have to change my appearance. I want to be the Sea King's son-in-law."
"You're asking for it. Do you think she can't tell? Someone was discovered a few days ago and was beaten half to death. He was an Explorer, but he didn't dare to fight back. His face was even disfigured."
…
The super handsome man boarding the ship caused an uproar, but it also made people even more afraid to step forward. The contrast was too great.
It wasn't until half an hour later that someone who had just arrived stepped forward.
"I'm curious about your parents. Where did they get the courage to send you out to scare people?"
"You don't look too bad. You didn't make me vomit."
"Your face is a biological weapon."
"What are you laughing at? You look like you're going to get rich. Our Sea King's Dome doesn't lack money."
"I'll have to trouble you to leave in a round way, just like your face."
"Did a cucumber become a spirit?"
…
Even Lu Yin was impressed by this woman. She had listened to his lecture for a few hours without repeating a single sentence.
Strange, why haven't Hui Daynight and the rest come out yet?
Just as he thought of Hui Daynight, he walked out. Lu Yin looked over and saw that he seemed a little apprehensive.
Hui Daynight was actually quite good-looking. The Daynight clan had good genes, and his black and white hair gave him a unique charm that made him very popular with girls. This was also the reason why Hui Daynight had wanted to qualify for the Sea King's Dome. But now, he was apprehensive. He looked at the beautiful woman and felt like he was waiting for judgment.
The crowd was in an uproar again; there was actually a Daynight clan member here.
Everyone knew that the Daynight clan did not marry outside the clan. The Sea King was looking for a son-in-law, so the son-in-law would definitely marry into the Sea King's Dome. For a Daynight clan member to appear in such a situation was too daring. Was he trying to betray his clan for love?
The beautiful woman was stunned as well. She had not expected a Daynight clan member to appear either. She looked at Hui Daynight in shock. "Your courage is commendable."
Hui Daynight secretly sighed. Fortunately, she had not scolded him. Her tone was rather gentle.
"But courage cannot be compared to looks. Let me give you a piece of advice: look in the mirror when you go out in the future," she said in a gentle tone.
Hui Daynight wanted to retort, but he was too stunned to say anything. More importantly, he was afraid of being scolded again, so he turned around and left.
Lu Yin and the rest looked at him sympathetically.
How pitiful. Suddenly, a huge force slammed into Lu Yin from behind, and he was pushed away. It was Lulu. This brat was willing to do anything just to see Lu Yin make a fool of himself.
The beautiful woman looked at Lu Yin.
