My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 448: During the Competition

"Finally! Let me say one last thing!"

"For the glory of Lanyan Royal School, give it your all!"

After Mo Li's words, everyone shouted in unison, "Give it your all!" They then all turned their eyes towards their dean, clearly hoping that Gu Lan would say a few words as well.

These guys… Gu Lan smiled helplessly and said, "I once heard a Taoist recite half a line of poetry. Seeing you all like this reminds me of it."

"Remember, when we were young, we aspired to be the best in the world!"

"Let's strive together!"

...

As the elimination round began, it was no surprise that the disciples of the Immortal Realm's seven great Houses were assigned to their respective Trial Towers. Each tower had a limit on the number of participants, and the disciples from the seven great Houses who entered were all elites.

"It's unfair!"

"The seven great Houses already control most of the resources in the Immortal Realm. Now they get to compete in elimination rounds and are assigned Trial Towers that match their strength. What's the point of even competing? We might as well concede!"

"Stop shouting, it's useless! This elimination round is clearly set up to benefit the seven great Houses. Do you really want to compete with them? Are you tired of living?"

"I advise you, if you encounter members of the seven great Houses in the Trial Tower, you'd better run as far away as possible. It's better than not placing in the Great Competition and losing your life."

Outside the Trial Towers, disciples from various factions discussed the situation. Some were indignant, while others had already seen through it and chose to surrender.

However, regardless of their complaints, the judges overseeing the elimination round remained silent and paid no attention to their grievances.

Soon, the Trial Towers opened, and disciples from all factions began to enter.

Lanyan Royal School was no exception. Due to their excellent performance in the preliminaries, many factions were paying extra attention to them.

"Did I see that right? Is Lanyan Royal School planning to deploy all their members for the elimination round?"

"Don't they know that only the top ten can earn points in the elimination round, and the others won't get any?"

"Having more people might not necessarily be an advantage inside the Trial Tower."

Various factions were surprised to see Lanyan Royal School deploying all their disciples. They were especially puzzled when they noticed that the individuals who performed well in the preliminaries were all acting separately this time.

They couldn't understand why Lanyan Royal School didn't consolidate their strongest members into a single team to score points in one Trial Tower. This approach of spreading their elite disciples was beyond their comprehension.

After all, they didn't know that these teams were arranged by the Lanyan Royal School disciples themselves. Their sole goal was to secure first place and ensure a strong second place.

...

Inside the Tower of Fire.

Led by Xiao Yan and Lin Ye, the Lanyan Royal School disciples had already defeated two teams. Their coordinated skills and tactics often yielded unexpected results in battle. With the help of their comrades, they quickly earned two points.

The elimination round, as the name implies, involved eliminating other teams. As long as a team's members were cleared out, their corresponding team would earn points, which could be allocated to any member.

Just recently, they had defeated another team and earned their third point.

"Lin Ye, be careful! There's someone behind that mountain."

At that moment, a black arrow shot towards Lin Ye from behind. The arrow was completely black, without any fluctuation of aura. If Xiao Yan hadn't summoned the historical figure Wei Zheng, who had the ability to sense abnormalities, they wouldn't have detected it.

"Grandpa Yu!"

Without any defensive ability, Xiao Yan quickly summoned Grandpa Yu.

An elderly figure appeared, carrying a hoe, and swiftly knocked the dark arrow away with a single swing.

"Young man, did you summon me to move that mountain?"

"No, I need you to drive out the people from that mountain," Xiao Yan clarified his purpose.

"Ah, just driving people away? How boring!"

The old man yawned. Moving mountains was a daily task for him, but driving people away was much less interesting.

However, he still had to follow Xiao Yan's orders. Grandpa Yu raised his hoe and struck the mountain forcefully.

In the next moment, the mountain shook and trembled violently. A crack appeared in the mountain forest, and figures flew out at high speed. Some people, moving more slowly, were caught by a powerful force and fell into the fissure.

"Xiao Yan, your ability is so powerful?"

Lin Ye, who was preparing to counterattack, was stunned by this scene. He knew Xiao Yan was strong, but he didn't realize he was this powerful.

"Unexpected, unexpected!"

"Usually, when I summon Grandpa Yu, he can only move a few giant stones to hit people. I didn't expect him to actually move a mountain today. This is something even I didn't anticipate."

Xiao Yan was pleasantly surprised by the performance of the historical figure he summoned. Previously, when summoning Grandpa Yu in the Earthly Realm, he had always been exhausted from moving mountains. But now, Grandpa Yu not only had immense strength but also seemed quite wise.

However, when he was about to issue another command, he found Grandpa Yu asleep, still standing.

Xiao Yan: "……"

This was a result he had never anticipated. Summoning historical figures was exhausting, and even Xiao Yan's exceptional constitution made it difficult to summon them twice in a short period.

"Next, leave it to me!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan seemed to be quite exhausted, Lin Ye took action without hesitation, using his strongest attack, the Five Thunder Method. This time, Lin Ye didn't just choose Fire Thunder. He used all varieties of the Five Thunder Method.

The trial disciples facing this barrage of lightning attacks were utterly bewildered.

"First, they split the mountain and blew up people! Then, they controlled the thunder and bombarded us!"

"What kind of freaks are these guys? It's terrifying!"

"Let's retreat!"

Seeing the situation was dire, the disciples hiding in the mountains decided to flee. But they couldn't simply come and go as they pleased.

Xiao Yan and Lin Ye immediately used their abilities to stop them.

"A saying goes, 'This mountain was opened by me, and this tree was removed by me. Since you have come here, it's not appropriate to leave without leaving anything behind,'" Xiao Yan said, blocking their way, with Wei Zheng's sharp gaze and Grandpa Yu, who was dozing off, behind him.

Lin Ye stood with his hands clasped behind his back, displaying an air of a sage.
