My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 441: Distinctive

"Who are these Human Clan Confucian cultivators? They look quite extraordinary!"

"Who cares who they are? Judging by their attire, they don't seem like a native force from the God Clan. They're probably just some faction from the Earthly Realm that can't stir up much trouble!"

"I've seen that man and woman at the forefront before. They're quite generous and seem to know the Realm Ruler of the Jianmu Earthly Realm. I wonder if their Earthly Realm has some special resources that allow them to exchange for so many."

The appearance of a group of Human Clan Confucian cultivators, even in the Immortal Realm, was rare and sparked many discussions. Some speculated about Gu Lan and his group's origins, while others were dismissive, especially those from the Immortal Realm who looked down on any non-native force.

However, some keen observers noticed the extraordinary presence of Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan. Young Realm Rulers like Gu Lan were rare across the Six Realms, comparable to Qin Huangmo of the Jianmu Earthly Realm, who was renowned for becoming a Realm Ruler at a young age due to the Jianmu sapling in his realm.

Gu Lan had interacted with Qin Huangmo recently, drawing the attention of several factions. They noted the couple's youth and striking appearance, later becoming astounded by their strength. While Gu Lan's formidable power as a Realm Ruler was expected, Mu Yuyan's prowess, having reached the peak of the Saint Stage despite being a small emperor in the Earthly Realm, was particularly surprising.

Many factions, intrigued by Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan's power, began focusing more on their Earthly Realm.

"These two are extraordinary—one is a Confucian cultivator of the Human Clan, and the other a human emperor with dragon energy. Their combat prowess is beyond that of their peers."

"Contact the protectors within our sect and investigate the background of this Lanyan Royal School more thoroughly."

On the martial field, numerous people were already eyeing the Lanyan Royal School. Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan's apparent peak Saint Stage strength made them notable.

Gu Lan, aware of the scrutiny, remained unconcerned. Upon entering the martial field, he had already sensed the presence of only one Divine Realm expert, a judge of the competition at the early stage of Supreme, far weaker than himself. Even standing before this judge, the judge might not discern his true strength, let alone others.

Similarly, Mu Yuyan was adept at concealing her cultivation, making it difficult even for those a major realm higher to gauge her true strength.

"The competition begins! Registered disciples, please take your positions! Those assigned to Platform One, step forward!"

At that moment, the competition on the first stage began. It was a disciple from the Earthly Realm forces facing off against one from the Demon Realm.

In the early rounds, the forces were careful not to send their strongest disciples. Each side, cunning and strategic, aimed to win through a tactic deploying mid-level disciples first.

Yet, what one side could foresee, so could the other. The disciple from the Earthly Realm was of average strength, and the opponent from the Demon Realm was equally matched in skill.

However, the resources available to the Demon Realm far surpassed those of the Earthly Realm. Once the Demon Realm disciple revealed their true form, the Earthly Realm disciple was brutally struck, sent flying across the stage, crashing into the barrier's light screen. He fell lifeless at the edge of the platform.

"Victory in this round goes to the Fire Wolf Clan of the Demon Realm. They earn one point!" The referee announced the result and the score.

This was the preliminary round, where each victory earned one point. In the finals, a win would grant two points. The overall ranking would be determined based on the total score.

Each faction could only send a maximum of one hundred disciples to compete in the preliminaries, and the same rule applied for the finals. If a disciple died during the competition, another could be registered as a substitute to take their place.

"The Great Competition of All Clans is indeed brutal. The first match on Platform One ended quickly with a fatality."

"And this is just the beginning. The matches will only get more intense."

Despite the shock, the various factions remained indifferent to the fallen disciple. They had anticipated such outcomes when deciding to participate.

Gu Lan and his group witnessed the scene without much concern, having mentally prepared for casualties in the competition.

"The Demon Clan's combat strategy was foolish, revealing their true form in such a confined space. If it were me, I could think of a hundred ways to defeat him!"

"The Earthly Realm disciple's death was unfortunate. Though weaker, he lacked combat experience and missed opportunities to counterattack. He could have survived and won."

Watching the disciple being carried off the stage, the various factions, though surprised, remained indifferent. They had anticipated such outcomes the moment they chose to participate.

At this moment, Gu Lan and his group also witnessed the scene on the platform. Death in the competition was nothing unexpected; they had long steeled themselves for it and didn't dwell too much on the loss.

"That demon's battle strategy was foolish. Revealing his true form in such a confined space? He's only shackling himself! If it were me, I could think of at least a hundred ways to kill him with ease!"

"That disciple from the Earthly Realm died unjustly. Sure, his strength was lacking, but it was his inexperience that cost him. If he'd seized the right moment to counterattack, he might have survived and even won."

The disciples of Lanyan Royal School were not only unafraid but were actively dissecting the recent fight, analyzing its tactics. One disciple, skilled in the art of divination, immediately listed over a dozen ways the Earthly Realm disciple could have turned the tables.

The others nodded in agreement, fully convinced. In their eyes, those trained in divination were deviously clever, having tricked them many times in the past. As such, they held great respect for their insights.

"After watching that match, I think in future battles against the Demon Realm, we should exploit the arena's terrain to lure them into revealing their true forms, then strike at their weak points for a swift kill."

"But we must also be cautious. Once they reveal their true form, their power surges, and they might have innate abilities. We can't afford to underestimate them and lose our lives out of carelessness."

The Celestial Mechanic Art disciple continued to analyze the fight, a routine practice among the students of Lanyan Royal School. Whenever they went out for training, they would always bring along a Celestial Mechanic Art specialist to help review tactics and improve strategies for future encounters.

As the disciples engaged in serious discussion, Gu Lan listened quietly from the side, secretly approving. These young ones were confident but not arrogant, and they knew how to plan their moves. His years of teaching them hadn't gone to waste.

However, in Gu Lan's view, their tactics were still somewhat lacking in decisiveness. When facing an enemy, one shouldn't wait for them to expose a flaw before attacking. Instead, they should unleash their full power right from the start, forcing the opponent into a mistake and then crushing them in one swift blow.

Even a lion goes all out when hunting a rabbit!

These youngsters still had much to learn.

With those thoughts, Gu Lan led the disciples of Lanyan Royal School through the many stages, heading toward the spectator stands.
