Speaking of first love, Shen Tang suddenly turned to look at him, squinting her eyes and smilingly asked, "By the way, before marrying the Princess, did you ever fancy any other females?"

A rather sad fact is that Lu Xiao is the oldest of several Beast Husbands, already twenty-nine this year, nearly a "thirty" old man!

Based on this age, when he became an adult, the original was only ten years old.

Who would have any thoughts about a ten-year-old little girl?

She didn’t believe that when Lu Xiao was young and impulsive, he hadn’t been moved by any female.

Lu Xiao smiled at her, "No."

Shen Tang gave a light hum, "Just trying to make me happy, I don’t believe it~"

He gently rubbed her hair, his gaze indulgent yet helpless, "Really no."

She was his first love.

Before meeting her, he never thought he would fall in love with anyone.

Both His Highnesses and several young Beastmen entered the Trial Ground together.

They were accompanied by a small mechanical light orb, this mobile flying device would record events in real-time and project them onto a big screen, allowing all the audience to see the progress in the arena at any moment.

Just as Tian Xi entered the competition field, she was attacked by a wild wolf.

The smile on the girl’s face, usually carefree, instantly vanished, and she became extraordinarily calm and steady. She swung the Light Saber in her hand, blood splattered, and the wolf’s head rolled to the ground, losing its life.

The entire process was astonishingly fast, only a brief moment.

Many Beastmen in the audience hadn’t even reacted yet.

The arena quickly erupted into astonished discussions.

"I’ve seen the Third Princess’s previous trials, she seems different this time, as soon as she entered the field, it’s like she became a different person!"

"Yes, particularly calm and composed, not panicked at all, completely unlike a newly adult female, and holds her own against other contestants."

It’s not that they looked down on females, but in the Beast Realm, females, especially noble females, are mostly pampered since childhood, with families reluctant to let them face hardships, making their personalities often more delicate and weak.

But this Third Princess clearly has real skills, having undergone battle honing, unlike the rumors that say she is just a playful vase.

The Second Prince was teleported to the southwest part of the Trial Ground, and shortly after entering, he was attacked by a group of Black Feather Crow Beasts.

"A bunch of trash, die." Tian Chen sneered disdainfully, releasing the full pressure of the Peak of Eighth Rank, quickly clearing out these beasts obstructing him.

The other young Beastmen also had decent strength, all around Seventh and Eighth Ranks, among this generation’s most outstanding talents, the inheritor likely to come from among them.

This competition was of great importance, everyone watched intently, holding their breath, and later the discussions gradually quieted down.

The upcoming competition flow involves contestants being teleported to different positions, gathering towards the center of the Trial Ground as instructed, encountering various obstacles along the way.

The closer to the center, the greater the danger, and the higher the difficulty.

By the time they reach the central region, it’s basically Hell Level difficulty, facing powerful opponents, possibly even encountering High-level Mutant Species stronger than them!

During life and death tests, Trialists will inspire potential within, gaining deeper combat insights.

Under the joint influence of luck and talent, they may awaken their bloodline in the outburst, becoming the inheritor of this generation.

If the worst-case scenario arises, and still no one successfully awakens, then all eligible contestants reaching the center will meet, engaging in a brutal battle, with the ultimate victor becoming the next inheritor. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

With experience from previous rounds, and Lu Xiao having shared much awakening insight with Tian Xi, this time Tian Xi’s team was noticeably more successful than before.

Their seriousness was evident unlike before, no longer just testing the waters. Both in the arena and out, the atmosphere became more tense.

For a moment, the audience was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was tightly focused on the movements inside the arena, guessing who would ultimately win.

Xing Ye sat in the front row, watching the screen with a complex expression.

Accurately, his gaze consistently followed the same person, the other contestants like air to him.

Xi’er...

He knew her wish, she wanted to fight and prove for herself and her father, that they were not lesser than anyone.

Yet he also had private desires, hoping she would lay down everything here, and marry him.

He both wanted her to succeed, and didn’t want her to succeed.

Those on stage had their own thoughts.

Suddenly, an unexpected event completely shattered the site’s atmosphere.

"Oh my God, what’s happening!"

The arena competition had reached the feverish stage, Tian Xi’s performance was particularly outstanding, she was the fastest to reach the center area among all contestants, even faster than the Second Prince Tian Chen.

Subsequently, another highly talented contestant also entered the center circle, immediately confronting her, taking the initiative to attack.

Both were of Seventh Level Peak strength, equally matched, fighting fiercely.

So far there was nothing unusual, just normal spar between two contestants.

But soon, the contestant couldn’t rival the Third Princess. At this moment, several figures suddenly darted out from the jungle, all above Seventh Rank, attacking Tian Xi with vicious and practiced moves.

These Beastmen seemed to plan to surround Tian Xi, intending to bully with numbers.

Tian Xi, after all, still young, of course couldn’t match these Beastmen in strength!

At the same time, Tian Chen over there also faced a similar situation, attacked by several contestants joining forces.

Logically, each contestant should fight on their own, yet those people seemed to have coordinated in advance, collectively targeting him.

Several figures also darted out from the jungle, joining forces to confront Tian Chen.

Everyone at the scene was shocked.

What is going on?

Why did outsiders secretly enter the Trial Ground?

This is clearly destroying competition rules!

Moreover, how did these individuals get in?

Most likely, they bribed other contestants on the field, secretly following in during their entrance to the Trial Ground, targeting the two Highnesses collectively!

"Look at the leading White-headed Eagle Beastman, isn’t he the Eldest Prince’s most loyal subordinate? Why is he there!"

"Has he betrayed, or is he being instructed?"

"Could this matter involve the Eldest Prince?"

"What exactly is going on?"

Xing Ye was the first to lose composure, directly leading people to surround Tian Lin, who was seated in a wheelchair, coldly questioning, "Does this have anything to do with you? Why is your subordinate there!"

Tian Lin did not panic, merely lightly said, "Don’t point at me like this, do you have any evidence to prove this matter is related to me?"

"If you weren’t involved, why is your subordinate there? Shouldn’t you provide us a reasonable explanation?"

Even the Sky King, Rift Sky King, and King of Abyss Night came over, their faces looking unsatisfied, carrying deep suspicion, demanding an explanation from him.

The Eldest Prince Tian Lin merely smiled gently, placing both hands on the arms of the wheelchair.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, this disabled Eldest Prince, surprisingly began to slowly stand up!
