Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

After catching up, Feng Hua returned to her dormitory to consolidate her cultivation. Now that she had advanced to the Spirit King level, there was even less she could learn at the academy. She needed to carefully consider where to go for her next training session. This time, she would go alone, without anyone else.

After quietly consolidating her skills in the academy for a few days, she received a telepathic message from Wuchen.

"Feng Hua, come up the mountain." Wu Chen must have something to tell her. Feng Hua broke out of her cultivation state and quickly went up the highest mountain.

At this moment, Wuchen was still sitting in his little wooden house, brewing spiritual tea with the same carefree attitude as when they had met before. When he saw Fenghua coming over, he smiled gently.

"You're here. Have you decided where to go for your next training session?" As expected of Wuchen, he understands her very well and knows that she is currently troubled by this matter.

"I've roughly selected a few places, but I haven't decided where to go yet. I've leveled up too fast, and now I want to stop and consolidate my cultivation. So I want to find a place suitable for long-term seclusion."

Wuchen looked at Fenghua, a look of satisfaction in his eyes:

"Haste makes waste. You have exceptional talent and level up quickly, but cultivation still requires a steady and solid approach. I originally wanted to remind you, but I didn't expect you already had your own ideas. As for this place, I've already thought of a place."

"West of the Holy City lies a natural fire vein, a place of endless volcanoes and perilous dangers, but the perfect place for you, with your fire element, to cultivate. That place is called the Ten Thousand Mile Fire Plains," Wuchen said, his hand sweeping across the small table, which was now piled high with spiritual objects. Then he continued:

“I know your power as a Spirit King is already extraordinary, but that place is still dangerous, so I have prepared these water-based items for you. I hope they can help you in case of danger.”

Feng Hua looked at the items on the table: a hundred-year-old water hyacinth grass, a water lily jade, and a thousand-year-old water crystal. Each of these items would be highly sought after if taken out, but now they were just casually placed in a pile.

Feng Hua didn't mince words and accepted it directly:

"Thank you, Master."

"There's one more thing. In a year, the once-in-a-decade Holy City Grand Competition will be held. Not only will all the academies in the Holy City participate, but also the four major families, the royal family, the Beast Taming Sect, the Weapon Forging Sect, and some reclusive sects will also participate. The rewards are very generous. Each force will prepare a treasure, and the winner will take all the rewards." Hearing this, Feng Hua's eyes lit up, showing great interest!

"Master, are there any requirements for participating?"

Seeing his expression, Wuchen said, "I knew you would be interested. The Holy City Grand Competition has no cultivation requirements, but there are requirements on age and number of participants. Participants must be under fifty years old, and each force can only send ten people. Therefore, all the major forces send their strongest members. The competition is divided into team competitions, five-person competitions, and individual competitions. There is no limit to the number of times each person can participate. If you are confident, you can participate in all three competitions."

The team competition requires everyone's participation; it's a free-for-all where you need to defeat everyone else until only four teams remain on stage. Even if only one member remains from any team, it still counts.

"The five-person tournament will be conducted by drawing lots, with teams battling in pairs. The winning team will directly participate in the third singles tournament, while the losing team will be eliminated." Feng Hua couldn't help but speak up:

"These rules are really simple and straightforward!"

Wu Chen smiled and said, "After all, the prize only goes to the first place team, so every team that goes there is aiming for first place. However, there has never been anyone who directly participates in all three rounds. The list of participants for the second and third rounds needs to be submitted in advance and cannot be changed. Most of the people who participate in the third round will save their strength to prepare for the individual competition in the third round."

"So, we have to win all three matches. Did our academy win the Holy City Grand Tournament ten years ago?"

"Ten years ago, Chang Lan led the team. He played three matches in a row, but lost the third one due to exhaustion. Those scions of reclusive families are truly not to be underestimated."

"Master, rest assured, the strongest academy will definitely be the winner of this Holy City Grand Competition!" Feng Hua's eyes gleamed with unwavering determination. Then she added:

“Master, now that the location has been chosen, I’m going to find Senior Sister Yunruo. I will definitely come back to participate in the Holy City Grand Competition in a year.”

After Feng Hua finished speaking, she bowed and left quickly.

Yunruo teleported it to the vicinity of the Thousand-Mile Fire Plain, and Fenghua looked up and easily saw its location.

In the distance, one volcano after another stretched endlessly. In an instant, Feng Hua flew to the foot of the mountain, where a blazing red expanse met his eyes. Even the ground was reddish-brown, and the temperature underfoot was extremely hot if he did not use his spiritual power.

The air was filled with a rich fire elemental energy, which made Feng Hua, who was already able to use fire elemental energy, feel even more comfortable.

Feng Hua didn't linger and headed straight for the highest volcano in the mountain range. However, she had only flown halfway when she felt the surrounding spiritual energy become turbulent. Even the fire elemental power that had been stable just moments before surged violently from the ground. At this moment, Feng Hua was flying directly above a mountain. Alarm bells rang in her mind, and relying on her combat senses, she quickly dodged to the side of the mountain.

Then, with a loud bang, a huge wave of fire elemental energy erupted directly from the mountaintop; the volcano had erupted.

As the eruption occurred, the surrounding fire elements surged violently. Feng Hua had already covered her entire body with the power of the Spirit King in time, but she was still knocked back a long distance by this force. Before she could react, a huge figure suddenly burst out from the erupting volcano and rushed straight towards her.

"Moonlight." Feng Hua dared not be careless and summoned the moonlight directly. She then raised it and pushed her spiritual power to the limit. At that moment, the figure arrived and crashed hard into the moonlight.

The impact caused Feng Hua's hand, which was holding Moonlight, to tremble uncontrollably. She felt a pain as if her internal organs had shifted, and she crashed heavily onto the ground, which was still flaming.

The thing that hit her flew up to the top of the volcano like a streak of light. When Feng Hua looked, she saw that it was a level 5 divine beast, the Flaming Lion!

At this moment, the lion's eyes were full of dissatisfaction:

"You human, how dare you disturb my rest on my territory!" it said, causing the surrounding fire elemental power to leap continuously.

No wonder it has such immense power, able to draw upon the elemental forces of this mountain; this divine beast is truly remarkable.

Feng Hua took out a pill and put it in her mouth. Her injuries were almost completely healed in an instant. Then she narrowed her eyes and her body was continuously covered with fire elements. She even turned the fire on the volcano into her own.

The Flaming Lion's large eyes flashed with shock. It was the only one who could use the fire on this vast fiery plain, and it never expected that a human would have a way to use it. A look of vigilance appeared in its eyes.

Feng Hua was already prepared. Her gaze was fixed on the direction of the Fiery Lion, conveying only one meaning:

war!
