Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

Meanwhile, the Holy City was bustling with activity. Today was the start of the Holy City Grand Competition, and the competition would officially begin in an hour. Other forces had already begun their journeys to the arena. Each time the competition was held, families and sects would send more than ten people, as well as many disciples to watch. Therefore, the hotels in the Holy City had been fully booked in recent days.

The entrance to the strongest academy was crowded with students, who eagerly awaited their departure with the participants. Meanwhile, inside the dean's room, nine people had already gathered, including Chang Lan, Yun Ruo, Xi Yuan, and Chu Xiaoyin from the academy's guard team, as well as second-year students Su Fengyang and Yun Che, and three fourth-year seniors.

A year has passed. Chang Lan has successfully broken through to the seventh level of Spirit Master and become a first-level Spirit King. Yun Ruo and Xi Yuan have been promoted to the sixth level of Spirit Master, and Chu Xiao Yin has been promoted to the fifth level of Spirit Master.

As for Su Fengyang, he advanced two levels to become a fourth-level Spirit Master. Yun Che was the most terrifying. In just one year, he directly crossed the level of a Holy Spirit Warrior. After consuming the Spirit Leap Fruit given by Feng Hua, he successfully advanced to a first-level Spirit Master. As for the three senior students in the fourth year, they were all third-level Spirit Masters. Ye Ming'an had already graduated and did not choose to stay in the academy, but returned to the Ye family.

The nine people wore dark purple competition attire, with each person's name outlined and inlaid on their chest with dazzling spirit stones.

Ge Hong stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky outside, and then said:

"You guys go first!"

"Dean, we still have time. Let's wait for Feng Hua."

Ge Hong turned around, and with a wave of his hand, another set of competition clothes appeared in his hand. The clothes were neatly folded, revealing the two large characters "Feng Hua" on the chest.

Ge Hong handed the clothes to Chang Lan:

"That kid doesn't show up until the crucial moment, but he's really eyeing the reward this time, so he'll definitely come back. Take his clothes to the arena; the competition is about to start, and he might be here soon."

"By now, the others have probably all arrived. You all go ahead and make things easier. I'll wait for him at the academy."

"Yes, Dean." Chang Lan took the clothes and then led the team away in high spirits. When they reached the gate, the students who had been watching automatically made way for them. Today was a holiday for the whole school, and everyone could go to watch the Holy City Grand Competition.

Today, Chang Lan and his group of nine represent the face of the strongest academy. They walked confidently and proudly toward the competition arena, with the students of the strongest academy following closely behind.

At this moment, a student was surprised to find that there were only nine people in the line, and he quickly asked his friend next to him.

"Weren't there supposed to be ten participants? How come there are only nine from our college?"

"The only thing missing is that guy, the dean's new apprentice. That guy always makes a grand entrance. Just wait for him to show up unexpectedly and dazzle you."

"Oh, it's him. That's not surprising."

The group headed to the arena in a grand procession. The arena was almost full of people, except for the area reserved for the strongest academy, which was empty. Chang Lan led the team into the arena entrance.

At this moment, the host called out:

"The strongest academy has arrived!"

Chang Lan led the group to their seats, but no sooner had they sat down than someone started causing trouble. The academies were seated next to each other, so Shangsong Academy, which was second only to the strongest academy, sat next to them. Li Qingsong, the dean of Shangsong Academy, had also arrived and was sitting in the main seat in the middle.

He glanced casually in the direction of the strongest academy, then said in a sarcastic tone:

"The dean of the strongest academy is really busy. He's late for such an important event as the Holy City Grand Competition, and he only selected nine people! It seems the strongest academy won't win again this year!"

Chang Lan sat there with a smile on her face, indicating that she didn't want to talk to him. Su Fengyang had been by Feng Hua's side for a long time, but he couldn't stand this. He was sitting next to Chang Lan, but he suddenly pushed Chang Lan's body aside and leaned his head in.

"So what if there are nine people! Nine people can still beat you to a pulp and make you cry for your parents. Yes, yes, we can't win, but you can. Did you win last time?"

Li Qingsong looked displeased, and his voice became louder:

"You, a junior member of the Su family..."

But Su Feng interrupted him even faster:

"What do you mean by 'junior of the Su family'? Today I come representing the strongest academy. I am a student of the academy, and my long mouth is not for talking like this."

At this moment, Chang Lan silently pushed Su Fengyang back to his seat, and then said slowly and deliberately:

"The child is young and doesn't understand. I hope the director won't hold it against a child."

Hearing this, Li Qingsong swallowed his anger to save face.

He snorted and then never looked in the direction of the strongest academy again.

Then Chang Lan looked at Su Fengyang and said softly:

"Low-point."

"He started this trouble first, why should I tolerate it? Besides, I've already been very low-key. The high-profile ones haven't even arrived yet!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Lan shut his mouth. He was right. This most high-profile junior hadn't arrived yet, and who knew what kind of trouble he would cause when he did.

As time passed, the seats in the stadium became more and more crowded. Ge Hong arrived before Feng Hua, leaving only two empty seats in the stadium.

Su Fengyang asked in confusion:

"Which two forces are these, the grand finale?"

Chang Lan replied:

“Hidden families are naturally extremely arrogant.”

Upon hearing this, Ge Hong, seated in the main seat, immediately said:

"Those reclusive families are all incredibly arrogant, but so what! This area of ​​the Holy City was still occupied by our strongest academy."

Su Fengyang was even more excited as he listened:

"That's right! With a Spirit Venerable like you, sir, around, wouldn't our strongest academy be the only one to dominate?"

Ge Hong laughed loudly:

"Haha, I love listening to you talk, unlike Chang Lan, who always looks so serious."

Chang Lan remained silent, when suddenly a loud shout rang out:

"The reclusive weapon-forging family, the Jin family, has arrived!" Su Fengyang looked over and then saw someone in the group who looked very familiar. Then he suddenly remembered that this was the sucker who had fought for the Greedy Wolf Mercenary Group before. He didn't expect that he was from a reclusive family.

With the Jin family settled in, the last remaining force finally arrived.

"The reclusive family of Medicine King Valley—the Mu family has arrived!"

All eyes were drawn to this last aristocratic family. The other forces were all led by men, but the Mu family was led by a woman. She was dressed in white, with eyes as bright as the moon, and looked otherworldly. Although she was not old, she seemed to have a very high status. She walked in front, and no one behind her dared to step over her.

For a moment, the arena seemed deserted, and the men couldn't help but stare at her. This woman's beauty and demeanor were unparalleled in the world. Compared to her, Liu Rushuang, who was known as the most beautiful woman in the four great families, was like heaven and earth.
