Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

Although Meng Xuan spoke so casually, Ye Huasheng was still very grateful. After entering the academy, she found many more people who cared about her. If she didn't have a great grudge to avenge or a family to find, she thought she would be very willing to stay in this strongest academy.

At the same time, Ye Huasheng was overjoyed. Becoming a beast tamer meant that she had another bargaining chip. Moreover, when her cultivation level was higher and her mental strength was stronger, she might even be able to tame divine beasts. It would be perfect to catch one or two and give them to Feng Yang and the others.

The next few days passed peacefully, and Ye Huasheng adjusted himself to his best condition. Finally, the time for the academy competition arrived!

On this day, all the students were excited and enthusiastic. In addition to the rewards from the Seven Absolutes Tower, the academy would provide students with cultivation resources, spiritual techniques, and spiritual pills according to their rankings. So the higher the ranking, the better. Those who ranked lower probably wouldn't get anything good. Therefore, everyone was putting in their best effort to cultivate and was just waiting for this day!

The competition took place on the battlefield, and early in the morning, the area around the battlefield was packed with people.

The battlefield was divided into four arenas, one for students from grades one to four. Students from grades two to four had already competed, so their order was based on their wins and losses. The first-year students, who had just enrolled, were arranged in order based on their cultivation level at the time of enrollment.

During the competition, all four arenas start simultaneously. Players ranked lower challenge those ranked higher. If they win, they can choose to continue challenging or stop. If they choose not to challenge, they cannot continue. However, they cannot be challenged by others within three rounds. If they lose, their ranking will be reset to its original position, and they will not be able to challenge again. Also, there are no grade restrictions for the four arenas, which means that if you are strong enough, you can directly challenge those above your grade!

The students were discussing the rules with great enthusiasm when suddenly a voice came from the crowded room, and the students gradually quieted down.

The person leading the way at that intersection was the disciple who had delivered the message to Ye Huasheng earlier. He looked smug, accompanied by many fourth-year students. They walked proudly, clearing a path through the crowded open space. Then, a student who looked older than them strode over. This was none other than Brother An, the top scorer in last year's academy competition—Ye Ming'an.

They are from the Ye family!

Ye Ming'an seemed to be the backbone of this group of fourth-grade students. After he appeared, many of the fourth-grade students stood behind him on their own, which was a show of strength!

They showed who they supported through their actions, and they wanted Ye Huasheng to know that even though Brother An was about to graduate, he was still the number one student in all four grades of this strongest academy!

Ye Ming'an didn't speak, which tacitly approved of their actions. Ye Huasheng and the others didn't back down either, staring straight at them. Just as the atmosphere was tense, a soft laugh came.

"Haha, little guys, since you're already so eager to fight, then I, the dean, will skip the formalities! From this moment on, the academy competition officially begins!"

"Changlan, release the jade token!"

With Dean Ge Hong's command, the countless jade tokens in Chang Lan's hand fell accurately into the hands of each student like shooting stars!

Each jade tablet records the holder's cultivation level and ranking, as well as the cultivation levels and rankings of the hundred people above them, so that students can find suitable opponents. Few people can win in challenges against opponents of higher levels, so the names of one hundred people are enough. As for why they are being distributed now, it is simply to ensure fairness in the competition!

Then Ge Hong sat in the main seat, with Chang Lan standing beside him.

"Last year's top five, take your seats!" The five names were arranged on a huge spirit stone, from highest to lowest.

Below Ge Hong were five neatly arranged chairs. As Chang Lan finished speaking, four figures flew up from various places and sat in their respective seats.

At this moment, the last four seats in that row of chairs were already occupied, but the seat that symbolized first place was still empty, and that seat belonged to Ye Ming'an.

Seeing that the four people had already taken their seats, he remained calm and unhurried. Suddenly, his aura changed, and the spiritual power of a fifth-level Spirit Master poured out from his body. The powerful spiritual power rose into the air visibly, but it did not harm anyone around him.

Chang Lan was about to speak when Ge Hong stopped her:

"The rules don't say you can't summon your spirit beast before the competition. Besides, that kid isn't one to be bullied."

Before everyone could even marvel at his powerful cultivation, they saw water columns rise around him, gradually encircling him and eventually forming a water bridge that connected directly to the first seat. Looking behind him, they saw a huge second-level divine beast, the Crimson Water Tortoise, lying quietly behind him. The water bridge originated from his mouth.

"Wow, Brother An's mythical beast has leveled up. It was only level one last year."

"The competition hasn't even started yet, and Brother An has already summoned a divine beast! That's awesome!"

"As expected of Brother An, but I remember that Brother An also intended to become the Dean's apprentice, but unfortunately he was rejected."

"Brother An is trying to intimidate that kid! Although Brother An's cultivation level was not as high as that kid's when he entered the academy, he advanced six levels in four years. His leveling speed is really terrifying. It is understandable that he is unwilling now."

However, his action immediately ignited the atmosphere, and the once quiet 'battlefield' erupted in deafening shouts. For a moment, countless students were chanting:

"Brother An is awesome!"

"Uncle! Take that kid down!"

Ye Ming'an was very satisfied with the scene he had created. He lightly touched the water bridge with his toes and arrived at his first seat. He sat down peacefully, but the divine beast was not taken back by him. Instead, it quietly lay down at his feet.

A person standing nearby, looking at the enormous divine beast at their feet, couldn't help but say:

"Brother An, we've already made a name for ourselves, shouldn't we take this mythical beast back?"

Ye Ming'an: "Oh, Bai Zhi said it's too boring in the space, so it wants to come out and have some fun." Ye Ming'an didn't even look at him, but just looked at Feng Hua below the stage.

That's right, this was his way of intimidating her. He had never liked these kinds of tactics, but he still used them now. He wanted to show the dean that he was excellent and that not accepting him as a disciple would be a loss.

Although his Ye family lineage had withered to the point of collapse, there were still people holding it together. His goal in entering the strongest academy was to become the dean's disciple.

His parents were imprisoned by Ye Jingming for disobeying him, so that he could be controlled and made to serve him. He entered the strongest academy, and if he could become the dean's disciple, his status would be elevated, and he would definitely be able to rescue his parents. Unfortunately, even though he tried his best, he could not win Ye Jingming's favor. Now, this opportunity has been won by a young upstart, and he is not willing to accept it!
