The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 674 - 675: My Dream Is to Live Off My Looks

Chapter 674: Chapter 675: My Dream Is to Live Off My Looks

When Liu Ruyan returned to the stage, Liu Zixuan also stood beside those young geniuses who had advanced.

Liu Qianfeng glanced at Liu Zixuan. Although the situation had spiraled a bit out of control earlier, in his eyes, Liu Zixuan still couldn’t stir up any trouble. He said to Liu Qianyun, "Let’s begin."

Liu Qianyun nodded, walked to the edge of the stage, and looked toward the crowd.

Smiling, he said, "Everyone, I’ve done the pleasantries before, so let’s get straight to the point now. The top five in the cultural competition and the top five in the martial competition—normally, there should be ten people. But some have made it into the top five in both competitions, so there are a total of six who advanced."

Saying this, Liu Qianyun took out a list: "When I call your name, take a step forward so everyone can remember you!"

As his voice faded, a proud expression appeared on the faces of six young geniuses below the stage. After all, the VIPs seated there were terrifying figures from the Star Sea’s powerful families. To stand out in front of them was undoubtedly a great opportunity to make a name!

"Zhong Baichuan!"

As Liu Qianyun’s voice fell, a man in a white suit stepped forward. Zhong Baichuan was about 1.75 meters tall and quite handsome, with a prominent black mole between his brows.

"Ren Yu Heng!"

A robust man stepped forward, burly and with a simple, honest smile on his face.

"Duanmu Linsen!"

A somewhat youthful, shorter man walked up.

"Ni..." Liu Qianyun, seeing this name, looked up and frowned, saying, "Nicholas is the most handsome!"

"Hahaha, the world really does have all sorts of strange names."

"Indeed, there’s actually someone with the surname Nicholas."

"What a character!"

Amid the crowd’s discussion, Nicholas stepped forward with a proud look on his face, as if saying everyone was envious of his looks!

"Mu Mu!"

"That’s me." The one who stepped forward was a man dressed in a traditional long robe, draped in white garments like a young lord from ancient times. His attire indeed caught many people’s attention.

"Liu Zixuan!"

Liu Qianyun deliberately emphasized these three words.

At the same time, all eyes were drawn to Liu Zixuan. However, while the others were looked at with admiration, Liu Zixuan received a notably different gaze.

There was more of a hint of amusement, or perhaps mockery. After all, Liu Zixuan had offended many people, including the biggest host today, the Willow Association. Standing here, in the end, he would not escape death! Isn’t it quite pitiful? 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

There were supposed to be ten people, but only six appeared, which made sense since true geniuses excel in both literature and martial arts.

Among those, Mu Mu, Duanmu Linsen, and Liu Zixuan all ranked in the top five in both competitions. Only Nicholas is the most handsome and the seemingly honest Ren Yu Heng got in solely through the martial competition.

Having six instead of ten candidates reduced some hassle, but it also became more competitive. After all, to stand out among seventy or eighty people already marked them as top geniuses. They might only differ by a hair, or next, it might boil down to luck!

Watching the six young geniuses step forward together, everyone laughed and said, "A new generation produces talents worthy of the old. Looking at these young geniuses, they are far better than us old folks. Recalling our younger days, we probably couldn’t reach such a realm!"

"Indeed, some of them are about to reach our realm. If it really came to a fight, maybe our only advantage is a bit more combat experience!"

"That’s a good thing; as the saying goes, ’the waves behind drive the waves ahead,’ each wave surpasses the last. If they surpass us, the future of martial arts will truly thrive."

Several prominent figures laughed heartily, alleviating the tension a bit.

Then, Liu Qianyun nodded and said, "Alright, though there are many geniuses, among geniuses, there is always a stronger and a weaker one. Today, let’s see which two of the six will catch the fancy of the two ladies from our Willow Association."

"Let me tell you about the upcoming competition format. When choosing a son-in-law, our Willow Association values not only cultivation technique and literary skill but also character and compatibility with our two ladies. So, you’ll be evaluated on multiple aspects this time."

With that said, Liu Qianyun looked at Liu Qianfeng: "Patriarch, please continue."

Liu Qianfeng nodded, stood up from his chair, and smiled at everyone: "Qianyun has already explained, so I’ll briefly cover the evaluations, divided into three categories, with the first two being literature and martial arts."

"Previously, in the cultural competition, you chose your own topics to compete. This time, my two daughters will set the topics. Answering to their satisfaction allows you to advance; otherwise, you’re eliminated."

"In the martial competition, I will assign a Willow Association martial artist to make a move. Whoever withstands three moves without falling advances; otherwise, you are eliminated!"

The crowd nodded in agreement, not finding it too excessive.

At this point, Zhong Baichuan asked, "What about the third category?"

"The third category is somewhat special; I’ll announce that at the end. But I can reveal a bit: the winner of the third category has the highest chance of being chosen by my two daughters and a 100% chance of becoming my direct disciple!"

"Wow..."

With Liu Qianfeng’s words, the crowd below erupted in astonishment.

The Willow Association is a top family force in Star Sea, and Liu Qianfeng, as its patriarch, is a super powerful figure ranked both domestically and internationally. Even if one doesn’t become his son-in-law, becoming his direct disciple is akin to soaring in one step!

This must be the biggest reward of the banquet, aside from selecting husbands for the two ladies!

Liu Zixuan’s lips twitched: "Such strategic planning; not only can you find two sons-in-law with powerful backgrounds, but also pick a strong disciple. After this, the strength of the Willow Association may surge several times!"

"Who cares? Let’s just focus on advancing for now—three spots, six candidates. It’s bound to be intensely competitive." Nicholas is the most handsome rubbed his chin: "Gee, what a pity. If it were a beauty contest, you and I would totally advance!"

Liu Zixuan immediately had black lines appear on his forehead: "Seriously... besides talking about your looks, can you discuss anything else?"

"Come on, my dream is to make a living with my face!" Nicholas is the most handsome boasted with a laugh.
