Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

Ye Luotian's face turned fierce as he saw that he was getting closer and closer to Yun Che's position. At this moment, Feng Hua also noticed the abnormality. She looked back and then used her Fire Wings to fly back at an extremely fast speed, but unfortunately, she was too far away.

Yun Che was locked onto by a sixth-level Spirit Master and had no chance of escaping. Just when things were at their most critical, someone suddenly pulled him away from the position of attack. This person was Su Fengyang, who suddenly appeared from behind him.

Faced with the crisis, Su Fengyang disregarded everything else and spoke directly:

"Emperor-Slaying Sword!" A sword's cry rang out, and then a golden giant sword appeared out of thin air in Su Fengyang's hand. Su Fengyang held the sword upright in front of his chest with one hand and placed the other hand on the blade, unleashing the full power of a fourth-level Spirit Master. At this moment, Ye Luotian also struck out with a palm.

The palm struck the blade of the Emperor-Slaying Sword directly. Although the Emperor-Slaying Sword was a divine weapon, Su Fengyang's cultivation level was low, and he could not unleash its full power. However, the Emperor-Slaying Sword did block part of the attack for him, and the rest of the attack hit Su Fengyang's chest!

Seeing that his attack had failed, Ye Luotian turned around and pushed the Ye family member who was protecting him off the stage, leaving only four teams on the field.

Su Fengyang spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward. Yun Che and the three senior students from the fourth grade tried to catch him together, but Feng Hua arrived at that moment. As she landed, her fire wings automatically retracted, and she immediately pulled Su Fengyang into her arms.

As she caught Su Fengyang, the host simultaneously announced:

"The first team match has ended. Players, please stop attacking, or you will be disqualified. The teams that have advanced, please take a short break. We will draw lots in a short while to begin the second five-person match."

Su Fengyang was severely injured. He had used all his spiritual power to receive that attack. Although the Emperor-Slaying Sword helped him block some of it, seventy percent of the spiritual power still fell on him. At this moment, he was depleted of spiritual power. Yun Che looked at him with guilt in his eyes. Feng Hua also did not expect Ye Luotian to attack during this opening.

As Su Fengyang caught him, he grabbed his hand tightly. Under the rules of the competition, they could not make a move at this moment, otherwise they would lose their eligibility to participate.

Feng Hua placed her hand on Su Fengyang's back, using her spiritual power to sense the injuries within Su Fengyang's body. She then breathed a sigh of relief. Although the injuries were extremely severe, it was alright; he could recover after taking some medicine.

Chu Xiaoyin promptly took out a pill and put it into Su Fengyang's mouth. He needed time to recover from his injuries. Feng Hua glanced indifferently in Ye Luotian's direction and said, "Ye family, I will return sooner or later. Just you wait!"

Then Feng Hua picked up Su Fengyang and carried him back to the strongest academy's rest area. Although the Emperor-Slaying Sword was only shown for a moment before being put away, the matter still caused a great uproar, especially among the royal family.

An old, decrepit man said:

"Your Majesty, last time I predicted the location where the Emperor-Slaying Sword would soon appear, which is why I issued a mission to the mercenary group. I didn't expect them to fail completely, and the Emperor-Slaying Sword actually fell into the hands of this Su family boy. This is not good for the royal family."

Emperor Murong Xuan glanced in the direction of the strongest academy, somewhat troubled, and then said:

"This Su family brat only revealed the Emperor-Slaying Sword to save Che'er. Che'er is his friend, so it would be inappropriate to harm him."

“Your Majesty, with the Emperor-Slaying Sword in his hands, it is a sword that hangs over the head of the royal family at all times. I know Your Majesty is a wise and enlightened ruler, and I also know that the Crown Prince is insightful. However, the great cause of the royal family cannot be ruined by others. So, I will be the bad guy. After he graduates from the strongest academy, if he swears allegiance, that will be fine. If he refuses, I will definitely eliminate him!”

These words were sincere and heartfelt, clearly stating the stakes involved. Murong Xuan nodded slightly.

"Then let's do as the Imperial Advisor says. The Empress need not know about this, lest she be upset."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this matter was not ordered by Your Majesty; it was entirely done by this old minister alone."

Su Yi also came to watch the battle today. He was furious to see his beloved son injured. However, the Su family was far from the strongest academy, and he was busy treating the injured people in his family. He could not come over for the time being and could only watch helplessly.

At this moment, the students of the strongest academy were all quiet, afraid of disturbing him. After all, because Su Fengyang had two level-three divine beasts and could fight two level-five spirit masters, he also had a spot in the five-person competition.

Even if he's injured, the strongest academy will easily win as long as they don't face the Mu family in the second match. At this moment, the woman leading the Mu family team had a gloomy expression on her face.

"Mu Sheng, you not only lost, but you also let him learn the Mu family's unique skills. Go back and go to the punishment hall to receive your punishment."

Mu Sheng lowered his head, his former arrogance completely gone.

"Yes, Miss."

Fifteen minutes passed quickly.

The host walked to the sphere and said, "The time has come. Now I will draw the teams to participate in the second five-person competition." After he finished speaking, he slapped the sphere, which shook continuously and then stopped. The team names instantly appeared in the sky.

"Shangsong Academy, Wang Kun, Zhao Jinran, Li Ruzhen, Sun Qinshan, Ye Luotian." After reading it, he clapped his hands quickly again, and another team's name appeared.

"Fight against Mu Yan'er, Mu Sheng, Mu Yugui, Mu Shaoren, and Mu Guangjie from Medicine King Valley!"

"The remaining two teams that haven't drawn their cards will automatically battle each other. The Beast Taming Sect's Zhou Hua, Zhou Wenyuan, Wang Mu, Li Bo, and Zheng Yonghao will face off against the strongest academy's Feng Hua, Chang Lan, Xi Yuan, Su Fengyang, and Yun Che!"

"The two teams I drew first, please come up to the stage."

The people from Shangsong Academy were ashen-faced. They hadn't expected their luck to be so bad. The Mu family was already strong, and they hadn't put in much effort in the first round. They were afraid that Shangsong Academy wouldn't last long on stage. However, they still gritted their teeth and went up on stage. Once all the people from Shangsong Academy and the Mu family were on stage...

Another drumbeat sounded, and the competition officially began!

Knowing he couldn't win, Ye Luotian quickly spoke up:

"Miss Mu, we were practically partners in the first round, allowing you to advance to the second round without lifting a finger. Could you please go easy on us and let us stay on this stage a little longer?" The longer they lasted, the higher their ranking would be, so Ye Luotian had this idea in mind, completely abandoning the fighting spirit of the martial artists of Haotian Continent.

Mu Yan'er lazily opened her eyes and uttered cold words:

"You think you're worthy? Let's finish this quickly." Upon hearing the young lady's order, Mu Sheng and the Mu family members rushed forward immediately, afraid of being a step too late. The people from Shangsong Academy were naturally no match for them, and they were all knocked off the stage in a single exchange.

"The first round of the second five-player tournament! Medicine King Valley! Mu Jia wins!"
