Three days later, the sun was shining brightly, and the academy square was bustling with people. It turned out that today was the day for the freshman meeting, and many new students gathered here, excitedly exchanging what they had seen and heard.

Suddenly, a voice caught everyone's attention: "Hey, have you heard that there is a beastmaster among the new students this time!" Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw a young disciple saying with envy on his face.

Another disciple nodded in agreement, "Yes, I've heard about it too. There are not only beast tamers, but also alchemists and weapon refiners! However, there seems to be a talisman master as well, but her level seems a bit low." After saying that, he shook his head regretfully.

At this time, another disciple interrupted and said, "Your information is too outdated! Let me tell you, these are not the only ones coming this time, there is also a powerful man at the peak of the Spiritual Master!" There was a hint of pride in his tone, as if he knew this man at the peak of the Spiritual Master.

Upon hearing this news, the disciples around were all shocked. You know, the peak of the Spiritual Lord is an extremely powerful existence, and there are only a few people who can reach this level. Everyone began to speculate who this peak of the Spiritual Lord is and why he chose to join this academy.

Amidst all the discussion, the freshman meeting officially began. The elders of the academy walked up to the podium and introduced the academy's history, rules and regulations, and various cultivation resources to the freshmen.

The atmosphere in the square was lively and full of vigor. The mysterious peak Spiritual Master became the focus of everyone's attention...

The disciples were surprised. "Is this true? Peak Spiritual Venerable? That means he is the same as the Inner Court Master. Why would he want to be a disciple if he wants to be at this level?"

"It must be fake, it's just a bluff!"

The proud disciple "dare to bet"

Everyone gathered in front of a tall and thin man. "What are you betting on? Skinny guy, you must have been deceived. How dare you bet on this?"

The proud disciple turned out to be the skinny monkey from the outer courtyard, Liu Tianyi. When he saw him, he said, "Just tell me whether you dare to bet or not."

"It must be fake! If he is really at the peak of spiritual master, I will stand upside down and eat shit."

Everyone sighed, "Eh~"

The skinny monkey said, "Come on, don't just talk, let's bet on something practical."

Someone in the crowd said, "Let's bet. If we're going to bet, let's bet big. Don't bet on whether he's at the peak of the Spiritual Lord. Let's bet on who's first in the freshman competition after this conference! There's only half a month left before the annual freshman and old student competition. By then, we'll know his true strength! What do you think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Voices rose and fell from the crowd, "I bet that beastmaster will win first place among freshmen!"

"I bet on Shangguan Wan'er"

"I'm betting on Yuchi Xuan"

"I bet on that weapon refiner."

Behind the crowd, the skinny monkey looked at the person who just agreed with him and said silently, "It's done."

Someone asked, "Hey, Skinny Monkey, you don't really want to bet on that Spirit Master, do you? Don't lose everything, haha."

The skinny monkey sneered, "Hey, just wait!" That's a real big boss!

As word spread, more and more outer and inner court disciples were attracted and stared at the betting plate with curiosity. The betting plate was divided into five parts, with the names of Shangguan Wan'er, Sikong Yue, Yuchi Xuan, Jin Xinxin and Feng Qing written on them.

Among them, the number of spirit stones on the betting plate of beastmaster Sikong Yue and weapon refiner Jin Xinxin was the most astonishing, reaching 20,000 high-grade spirit stones! This was enough to show that their strengths were quite impressive, after all, both of them were masters of the fifth level of spirit masters.

Next came Shangguan Wan'er and Yuchi Xuan. Although they were only second-level spiritual masters, they had 50,000 middle-grade spiritual stones on the betting board. In contrast, Feng Qing, a spiritual master, seemed a little mysterious. Many people were skeptical of her and did not dare to bet easily, but they were worried that they would miss the opportunity, so they bet a few spiritual stones sporadically, and the total number of spiritual stones on the betting board reached 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones and 5,000 middle-grade spiritual stones.

The betting has been determined, and now we just have to wait for the prize to be drawn... As for why no one bets on the Minglang brothers? Although they are also spiritual masters, it is well known that the fighting power of alchemists is usually not strong. Even at the same level, they can only exert half of their strength... So everyone naturally excludes them.

Goudan: "Shouhou, how much did you bet?"

The skinny monkey stretched out his hand.

Goudan understood and asked in surprise, "Fifty thousand?" "Ouch!" He was slapped on the back of the head by the skinny monkey.

Skinny Monkey: "How can I have so much? I even borrowed some from others to get 5,000 low-grade spirit stones! The big ones belong to the brothers in the inner courtyard. Disciples like us in the outer courtyard can't get so many middle-grade and high-grade spirit stones even if we work so hard on missions! Even if we can earn middle-grade spirit stones, of course we have to focus on cultivation."

"How much did you bet?"

Goudan scratched his head, shyly stretched out two fingers and said, "I bet two..."

The skinny monkey interrupted him, "I know you can't bet as much as I do! Let's just wait and see. When I get rich, I will definitely take better care of you!"

Goudan scratched his head and looked up at the sky, thinking to himself, "...I bet two thousand middle-grade spirit stones...I hope the boss will support me! This is all I have."

Freshman Assembly——

"Master...Master...Princess...get up quickly!" Dongxue said in a low voice.

Lu Wan opened his eyes dazedly. These three days were just like a nightmare. He had been spending the entire time in bed... It was only better at night. The pain was so severe during the day that he couldn't get up.

Lu Wan stood up and asked, "What time is it?" He rubbed his lower abdomen and it didn't seem to hurt as much...

"The freshman meeting will begin in half an hour..."

Lu Wan was surprised, "Ah! It's so late!" Lu Wan hurriedly put on his clothes and shoes, washed up, and ran out of the yard.

Dongxue shouted, "Master, don't you want to eat?"

Lu Wan waved his hand and said "I don't want to eat anymore"

Looking at the crowded academy square, Lu Wan felt as if he had returned to modern times for a moment. All the students gathered lazily in the square, listening to the loud speaker broadcasting, and watching the principal's rambling speech on the podium...

The scene at this time was different in that everyone was lined up in an orderly manner. It was just a meeting to announce the new students. Except for the disciples who were away from home, all the disciples from the inner and outer courtyards were standing in the square. At a glance, one could tell which were the outer and inner courtyard disciples, and which were the new students. The outer courtyard disciples all wore white robes with the word Reimu embroidered in silver thread on their chests, while the inner courtyard disciples mostly wore green robes with the word Reimu embroidered in gold thread on their chests, and the new students wore a variety of clothes.

Standing at the forefront of the field of vision is a group of freshmen who have come to register. They are lined up in order, and each of them exudes a unique temperament and charm.

The first person that catches the eye is Shangguan Wan'er in a red dress. Her cold face makes her look as proud as a queen, which makes people fall for her; followed by Shangguan Yan in a dark red dress. He looks bohemian, but his charming peach blossom eyes sparkle with shrewdness; then comes Shangguan Qing in a goose yellow dress. Her big eyes are blinking and very smart, as playful and cute as a yellow warbler; and next to her is Sikong Yue in a light purple Luo skirt. Her long hair is draped behind her like seaweed, and she is holding a small and exquisite spirit beast in her arms. She looks like a fairy descending to the earth.

Next to this group of people stood Ming Langru, who was wearing a crescent-shaped white skirt and exuding the fragrance of herbs. Her smile was particularly bright and brilliant. Standing side by side with her were the handsome and slightly mature twins Ming Langyue and Ming Langkang. The two brothers had very different temperaments but complemented each other.

Looking to the side, there is Yuchi Xuan, who is dressed in dark tights and has a tall and mighty figure. He stands straight, like a mountain and gives people a sense of calmness; while Yuchi Jin, who is dressed in dark gold clothes and stands casually on the other side, reveals a cynical air; lastly, there is Jin Xinxin, who is dressed in light blue clothes and is as friendly as the older brother next door. His presence makes people feel extremely warm.

Next came Liu Yueyao, who was dressed in lotus pink and had two buns tied up. She looked a little timid and cowardly, making people want to protect her. Lu Wan stood silently at the end, still wearing the bamboo green clothes today, looking noble and elegant.

These people each have their own beauty, style and characteristics. Wherever they go, they become a beautiful scenery.

Lu Wan looked up and saw a tall, thin middle-aged man standing on the stage. He was wearing a dark blue robe, with a serious expression and no smile. This man was Liu Lin, the vice president of the academy.

Liu Lin glanced around the audience with a sharp gaze and said, "I am Liu Lin, the vice president of our college. I am in charge of hosting the freshman meeting this time. I am sure you all know that there are hundreds of people who have registered for the college this time, but after layers of screening and assessment, only a few of you have met the requirements and are able to stay here. This is enough to prove that the college highly recognizes your abilities and potential."

His voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty, echoing over the wide square, as if every word was striking at everyone's heart.

Listening to the chattering voice, Lu Wan really wanted to doze off... Lu Wan stretched and felt cold all over, as if being stared at by a cold and poisonous snake. He looked around... Hmm? Why are you all looking at me?

At this time, a majestic and somewhat cold voice was heard from above: "Feng Qing, do you have any objections?" Vice President Liu on the stage narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Wandao.

Lu Wan was full of doubts, thinking to herself: What on earth is going on? What did they just say? As she pondered, she looked around, trying to find some clues from the expressions or actions of others. At this moment, her sight met a cold gaze. It turned out to be Yuchi Xuan, who was looking at her with a scrutinizing look.

Yuchi Xuan raised his lips slightly, and said with a smile: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Feng Qing has any special opinions or suggestions for this freshman competition? After all, we are all freshmen this time. If you have any unique insights, you might as well bring them forward for everyone to discuss together. I believe that with the collective wisdom, this competition will become more exciting."

Hearing this, Lu Wan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She hadn't thought about expressing any opinions, but since Yuchi Xuan had already made it clear, she couldn't remain silent. Just as she was thinking about how to respond, an abrupt voice interrupted her thoughts.

“That’s right!” Yuchi Jin appeared in front of everyone at some point. He pretended to be cool and casual as he opened the folding fan in his hand. Then, he gently stroked the jade-like fan blades and said sarcastically, “To prevent some people from being self-righteous and making up stories about themselves as spiritual masters, only to reveal their true colors when it comes to the challenge and end up humiliating themselves! Humph…” After saying that, he did not forget to cast a provocative look at Lu Wan.

Lu Wan... You dare to mock me in such a sarcastic way, very good, I will remember it! Seeing the people around him looking at the show, Lu Wan was speechless and sighed inwardly: No matter where I am, it seems that I can't avoid such a boring plot! There are always some idiots who like to gossip and sow discord! He looked at Yuchi Jin with the eyes of a fool, and couldn't help but think of the silly junior brother, and sighed in his heart: Is this Yuchi family specializing in producing fools?

Lu Wan turned his head and cast his gaze towards Vice Dean Liu on the high platform, and responded loudly: "I have no opinion on this freshman competition. But... I sincerely hope that our academy can always uphold the principles of fairness and justice." Thinking in his heart, he just became an outer courtyard disciple today, and the competition will start in ten days or so. Is it really necessary to be so tight! Are you in a hurry to reincarnate!
