My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 447: The Elimination Tournament
The bookmaker's smile was broad, and those who had bet on the Lanyan Royal School were equally delighted. Many people recognized the Lanyan Royal School as the dark horse and placed their bets accordingly.
Over the next few days, the preliminaries continued as usual. The Lanyan Royal School's performance shocked everyone as they maintained an undefeated record in the preliminaries. Naturally, they had some luck by not encountering any of the seven great Houses, but the strength of the Lanyan Royal School disciples was undeniable.
Especially notable was the disciples' understanding and mastery of their techniques, far surpassing many of the Immortal Realm's local factions. This was a fact that many Immortal Realm factions were reluctant to believe but had to accept. In battles of equal cultivation, the Lanyan Royal School disciples were overwhelming, crushing their opponents effortlessly.
Even when at a disadvantage in cultivation, they never gave up, using various tactics and high-difficulty maneuvers to turn impossible battles into victories.
This cemented the Lanyan Royal School's reputation as the dark horse of the Great Competition of All Clans. At the betting tables, the Lanyan Royal School became a popular choice, and their odds gradually became less favorable than before.
All of this was within Mu Yuyan's expectations. Her first visit to the casino was to gauge the betting trends. Afterward, for every match, she gave Li Xiong spirit stones to bet on Lanyan Royal School's victory. After the first two matches, the initial two thousand top-grade spirit stones she gave him had turned into over a million, even after the casino's cut.
For subsequent bets, Mu Yuyan continued to have Li Xiong place wagers, always betting a thousand top-grade spirit stones on Lanyan Royal School. Although the odds were no longer as high as before, they were still favorable. With the strength of the Lanyan Royal School disciples and odds still above even, they had won a considerable amount of spirit stones.
"I never thought I'd ever be able to handle the Ministry of Revenue's tasks so well!"
"With these spirit stones, the Jing Nation won't have to worry about finances for the next hundred years."
"If we achieve good results in the Great Competition of All Clans and establish a sect in the Immortal Realm, these spirit stones will be enough for startup capital, not to mention the Snow Clan..."
In the sect's cave, Mu Yuyan was counting the spirit stones while planning in her mind, a confident smile on her face. Beside her, Gu Lan, seeing her so happy, smiled and opened an official document from the Great Competition of All Clans detailing the elimination round.
After the preliminaries, factions with a win rate above fifty percent could enter the elimination round. The Lanyan Royal School, having won all their preliminaries, naturally advanced to the elimination round, aiming for a spot in the finals.
"Trial Towers: Beast, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Ghost..."
"It seems the seven great Houses are shamelessly trying to secure a win this time."
Gu Lan's face showed disdain as he read the elimination round details. This time, the elimination round was held in five Trial Towers, each tailored to the techniques of the five clans of the seven great Houses. Other factions, whether from the Earthly Realm or the Upper Realm, would find it challenging to compete under such biased conditions.
Since the Bright Clan, which ranked first in the last Great Competition of All Clans, directly advanced to the finals this time, there was no Trial Tower for them. The Snow Clan once had their own Trial Tower for training new members, but it disappeared with the clan's annihilation.
After reading the rules, Gu Lan gathered all the Lanyan Royal School disciples.
"The five Trial Towers belong to the five clans of the seven great Houses. Entering a Trial Tower matching your attribute gives you various advantages, including the terrain."
"In such conditions, it's tough for Earthly Realm forces or other Upper and Immortal Realm factions to win against the seven great Houses."
"But fortunately, the rules of this elimination round are different. Each Trial Tower has a ranking, and the top disciple in each tower will receive the highest points."
He activated a projection stone, displaying the elimination round rules. While the disciples read the rules, he continued explaining. Given that the Lanyan Royal School had prepared for the Great Competition of All Clans for so long, they couldn't afford to give up easily.
"This mode tests not only your individual strength but also your ability to cooperate."
"Every quarter, the Lanyan Royal School organizes collective training. I believe you all have familiar friends. For this elimination round, I won't assign teams. You will decide among yourselves."
"You have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to discuss. Tell me your decision afterward."
As soon as Gu Lan finished speaking, the Lanyan Royal School disciples began communicating via secret techniques, having become accustomed to it over time. They had to form five teams for the five Trial Towers, ensuring the number of members in each team was relatively balanced.
The most popular among them were naturally those who practiced the Celestial Mechanic Art, including Mo Li, who found himself surrounded by fellow disciples. Seeing their eager eyes, Mo Li felt a bit intimidated and prepared to use Dunjia to escape if necessary.
"Brothers, although this is a team battle, there can only be one first place."
"So, we must decide on the points distribution before the match to avoid unnecessary conflicts."
Someone suggested this, and it was quickly agreed upon, especially by those who often clashed. Even if they couldn't fight directly, they wanted to compete for individual points.
"Chen Fan and Xiao Yan, you two definitely can't be on the same team."
"Xiao Yan, you go to the Tower of Fire. Chen Fan, you go to the Ghost Tower..."
As the discussions grew intense, Mo Li stepped in to allocate teams, his strategic mind ensuring everyone was properly arranged.
"Fellow disciples, this elimination round is the home ground of the Immortal Realm factions, putting us at a disadvantage."

"Therefore, we must unite and aim to win this elimination round."
"Although the dean never explicitly asked us to take first place, I know he has high expectations for us!"
After dividing the teams, Mo Li continued to boost morale.
