Not only did Gao Liang clearly state his choices, but he also precisely indicated the positions of each of the ten beautiful women, leaving everyone astonished. At that moment, the host inserted a subtle detail: to secure Yanoda's victory, he unceremoniously interrupted Gao Liang mid-performance and instead asked Yanoda to showcase his grace in front of the ten women that Gao Liang had selected. Yanoda, proud and confident, believed he had secured victory and immediately turned to a woman behind the scenes and declared, "I've chosen her! She's my favorite!" Why was Yanoda so confident? Because the host had raised one finger—oh! After the ten women were rearranged, their original order had been completely disrupted. Moreover, having hosted numerous live performance shows, the host was familiar with these 50 women. He therefore estimated which number among the ten Yanoda had singled out as his "favorite," and used gestures to subtly suggest it to Yanoda, who naturally believed and confirmed it. As for Gao Liang, he also had his own moment of opportunity! You could simply select one of the beautiful women. Gao Liang's approach was completely different from Yamada's—"Just go with the flow!" Gao Liang said clearly. He would simply toss a coin and choose the number it landed on. Yamada, of course, wouldn't let Gao Liang have the chance to pick. While Gao Liang was tossing the coin, Yamada deliberately threw it to a woman he personally considered less attractive—right when the audience wasn't paying attention, and the host momentarily blocked the audience's view. "What on earth is going on? Originally, the beautiful woman that Yamada had his eye on deliberately performed rather ungraceful, even clumsy and dramatic gestures—far from elegant—so as not to be chosen by him. Meanwhile, that very elegant, all-powerful 'dinosaur' woman, who just now had been overshadowed by a beautiful contestant, stepped in to take her place, deliberately displaying graceful movements. Even the host was left completely puzzled. "Yamada-san! We're truly destined to be together! How about we go on a honeymoon together?" That dynamic, stylish woman—Yamada simply didn't find her appealing. Yet, he felt utterly helpless. After all, these were all choices he had made himself! For heaven's sake, what a drag! He now faced the host with a stern, flushed expression. The host immediately sensed disaster was looming and promptly stepped aside—more precisely, she moved to the high-visibility side. At that moment, the director of Tokyo Broadcasting Station arrived to inspect the host's performance and promised strict action against any unfair treatment. To preserve their jobs, the host suddenly became energized, transforming on stage as if completely renewed. With a strong, resonant voice, the host announced to everyone present: "Now, here's a surprise! Unwrap the tape from this gentleman and remove the headscarf from this beautiful woman! Let's see what's underneath!" "Great! Great!" the audience clapped and cheered enthusiastically. The campus belle of Tokyo University truly deserves her title! Misako was delighted—now that there was Meiho, she had someone to represent her in tomorrow's nationwide talent competition. Yet, seeing Kōtō and Meiho together, especially so coincidentally, made her feel particularly uneasy. For the first time, a sense of jealousy stirred deep within her—how overwhelming it felt. Meanwhile, Yamada was genuinely surprised—never could have imagined that Kōtō, her longtime rival, would be such a formidable opponent. And even more surprising, he had publicly taken her favorite away. Had I known earlier, I would have gone to any lengths—sacrificed everything—to eliminate him. Yet, High-Kei is truly exceptional. As the new abbot of the Shaolin Temple, he possesses outstanding martial skills, even surpassing my own master, Kawanabe Tarō. I envisioned being caught in his Hundred-and-Eight Monks Formation, with my own teeth scattered and shattered by his disciples. Fortunately, after returning to Tokyo, I invested heavily in a world-renowned dental hospital and received a full set of artificial teeth, which allowed me to hold my own in front of everyone. Yet now, High-Kei has come to Japan—how? He has not only disrupted my plans, but has even taken my wife away. Mountain Tan gazes at High-Kei with an intensity of profound hostility—a gaze that seems capable of killing. Gao Liang's eyes shone with electric intensity. Having recently trained rigorously at the Shaolin Temple and consistently performing ten thousand push-ups every day, combined with specialized physical conditioning and mental strength exercises, Gao Liang developed a certain "presence"—a force that made him inherently unyielding wherever he stood. This presence was something ordinary people lacked. Within this presence, Gao Liang's eye presence surpassed that of Yamada in sharpness and intensity. Indeed, when Yamada met Gao Liang's gaze—cold and intimidating—Yamada felt an immediate surge of unease. "This is truly terrifying! It's a commanding, regal eye presence!" Yamada learned from his master, Kawauchi Tarō, that anyone with such eye presence—especially someone who induces a deep sense of fear—should be avoided, because in elite duels, victory often wasn't determined by physical combat itself, but simply by the exchange of glances before the actual confrontation even began. Yamada knew that the current situation for Kōtō was extraordinary. At this moment, the host, who was adept at reading the room, had already recognized that Yamada was a hopeless case. Moreover, with the Tokyo TV station's director personally on hand, the host had clearly tilted in Kōtō's favor to safeguard his own position. Immediately, the host announced on the spot: "Please invite Mr. Kōtō to present a vibrant red rose bouquet to Miss Misako, number 8!" Misako stepped forward from the background, happily receiving the large bouquet of roses from Kōtō, and nearly fainted under the waves of applause and clapping, as the crowd cheered, "What a perfect match! Such a fine man and woman! A destined union!" "Now, the curtain rises!" After the host's call, the ten stunning female guests revealed their true selves, one by one, on stage.
