My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 440: The Emergence of Lanyan Royal School

"This time, the Lanyan Royal School represents the Jing Nation and the Eastern Earthly Realm in the Great Competition of All Clans. Even if we face the seven great Houses of the Immortal Realm, our dignity must not be infringed upon!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Listening to Gu Lan's words, Li Xiong felt his blood boil with excitement.

For this competition, the Earthly Realm registered as the Eastern Earthly Realm, with Gu Lan himself as the Realm Ruler, as per his instructions. Li Xiong thought this name was quite impressive, certainly better than the neighboring Jianmu Earthly Realm.

The Lanyan Royal School, founded by their lord, encompassed almost the entire Eastern Continent of the Earthly Realm, akin to the Jing Nation. Now, participating in the Great Competition of All Clans under the name of the Eastern Earthly Realm seemed appropriate.

Li Xiong was particularly excited because, compared to the whole Earthly Realm, he felt more allegiance to the Jing Nation. He had once been the leader of the Misty Rain Building, a shadowy assassin always hidden in the darkness, never imagining he'd one day lead his men to face the Upper Realm's seven great Houses head-on. This honor filled him with immense pride.

Li Xiong had absolute confidence in their lord, Gu Lan. He was eager to use the words of their lord to motivate the proud young members of the Lanyan Royal School.

"Tell me, what is the current situation of the Great Competition of All Clans? How prepared are our students? Who will be the first to enter the fray?"

Gu Lan inquired about the details of the Great Competition of All Clans.

"The competition starts tomorrow. All the disciples of Lanyan Royal School have been registered."

"I have gathered information from various sources. In terms of age group, the disciples of Lanyan Royal School are slightly stronger than other Earthly Realm disciples, with at most a minor realm difference."

"Compared to the disciples of the Upper Realm forces, our disciples are slightly weaker, but again, by at most a minor realm."

"Among the young cultivators of the Six Realms, who have been cultivating for less than a hundred years, only two have reached the Imperial Realm."

"The top disciples of Lanyan Royal School stand a chance of victory as long as they don't face those two Imperial Realm cultivators."

Li Xiong reported all the information he had gathered, also summarizing the current status of the Lanyan Royal School disciples.

Since arriving in the Immortal Realm, all the Lanyan Royal School disciples had grown significantly, not only in cultivation but also in their understanding of martial arts, far surpassing their peers. Especially those disciples training under Su Hua and Zhang Qingwei in the Confucian arts, who had mastered the technique of manifesting their words into reality.

The strongest among them was Chen Fan, who not only mastered the manifestation technique but also excelled in military strategy, developing a new divine ability called "Paper Soldiers" under Gu Lan's guidance. This allowed him to summon a formidable army of cultivators to form battle formations, making him nearly invincible among his peers.

Another notable disciple was Xiao Yan, a favored student of Master Zhang Hua, who specialized in summoning historical ministers instead of armies. Each summoned minister possessed immense power, growing stronger with Xiao Yan's cultivation. His battles were often characterized by a group of historical ministers brutally defeating a single opponent.

Among the disciples, only Xiao Yan could match Chen Fan in combat. This, however, was before Ye Fan's return from the Demon Realm. Ye Fan, who had mastered top-tier artifact refining and array techniques, was known for his low profile, and few knew his true strength. Rumor had it that Xiao Yan once challenged Ye Fan and emerged with a bruised face, though the victor remained unknown.

Besides these three, the Lanyan Royal School boasted numerous talented cultivators, including experts in swordsmanship, beast taming, and celestial mechanics.

Listening to Li Xiong's report, Gu Lan provided each disciple with a suitable Saint Stage artifact and an emperor-tier weapon for emergencies. Though they might not fully harness the power of the emperor-tier weapons, they could still use them for self-defense.

The Great Competition of All Clans had no restrictions on life and death, so these measures were necessary.

"Thank you, my lord! Your subordinate will take his leave!"

Li Xiong left with a pile of artifacts and emperor-tier weapons, feeling a sense of awe. Despite being accustomed to Gu Lan's generosity, he was still amazed by the treasures.

Only their lord could casually give away such valuable items, whereas other factions' disciples struggled to obtain even a single suitable artifact.

This was where Li Xiong's confidence in Lan Yan Academy came from. Compared to other stingy forces, Lan Yan Academy was as extravagant as it got. Even if the ordinary disciples were somewhat weaker in strength, they could still overwhelm their opponents by throwing magic treasures at them.

"Tomorrow's grand competition begins. I wonder if the people from Yin God Palace will participate, or those from the Fengyang Immortal Domain of the Immortal Realm, the Bull Demon Clan from the Demon Realm, and that kid Chen Feng..."

After Li Xiong left, Gu Lan gazed out the window, reminiscing about many old friends.

This Ten Thousand Clans Grand Competition is going to be very interesting.

The next day, at sunrise, the Great Competition of All Clans began. All participating and observing forces were present at the grand martial arena, which housed numerous isolated platforms, each surrounded by barriers. With many forces participating, there were a thousand platforms in total.

Gu Lan, holding Mu Yuyan's hand, led the disciples of Lanyan Royal School through the platforms.

"Platform 666, my first match is on a lucky number. This battle is already won!"

"Yes, I even read your fortune; this battle is yours."

"Hey, don't spoil it! It's no fun if you reveal it before the fight! You celestial mechanics folks are such killjoys!"

"It's okay, if you surrender now, you might still break my celestial mechanic prediction."

The disciples of Lanyan Royal School were excited, experiencing such a grand event for the first time. They marveled at the various forces from across realms, gaining new insights.

Their distinctive Confucian scholar appearance drew attention, especially from the Enchanting Demon clan of the Demon Realm, who eyed the handsome young scholars hungrily.
