When the other disciples heard that Lu An had actually agreed to it, they were shocked!
Not to mention them, even Huang Zhizhong was stunned. One must know that Lu An had rejected them very straightforwardly the last few times. Why did he suddenly change his mind and agree to it this time?
The sudden agreement caught Huang Zhizhong off guard. He looked at Lu An doubtfully and asked, "You really agree to participate?"
"This disciple will participate." Lu An said calmly, "However, I can't guarantee what ranking I will get."
Huang Zhizhong heard this and immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He said loudly, "As long as you give it your all, I can accept any ranking. Since you have agreed, you are not allowed to go back on your word. Do you understand? "
"Yes." Lu An nodded and said.
Huang Zhizhong said a few more words to Lu An before he turned and left. When Lu An left, the surrounding disciples immediately surrounded him.
"You really want to participate?" Gongye Qingshan looked at Lu An and said anxiously, "Didn't you see how ruthless that person was?"
"I was just thinking if I should take the initiative to ask Elder Huang to participate. Why did Elder Huang look for you?" Shang Gong, who was beside him, could not understand Huang Zhizhong's choice. Although Lu An's strength had become very strong, he was still not as strong as someone who had been at the peak of Level 2 for a while.
The surrounding voices were incessant. Lu An knew that these people were concerned about him and said, "It's okay. Since I have agreed, I can't change anything. Let's wait three days and see."
Everyone sighed when they heard Lu An's words. Indeed, the matter had been decided and they could not change it. Shang Gong thought for a while and said, "Why don't we spar for the next two days and practice your actual combat skills?"
"No need." Lu An smiled and said, "I'll rest more for the next two days."
After a while, Lu An and the other disciples finally tidied up the entire palace. It was already very late at night. A night of noise had made him a little tired. He walked alone in the dark inner peak and returned to his dormitory.
Just as he was about to push open the door to enter the dormitory, the door beside him suddenly opened. Lu An paused and looked to the left. He saw Beauty Yang walking out of her room.
"You came back so late." Beauty Yang looked at Lu An and said in a voice that was slightly cold in the winter night.
Lu An nodded slightly and said, "You're still awake?"
"Yes." Beauty Yang said, "I've been cooped up in the house for too long. Let's go out for a walk."
Lu An paused for a moment before asking, "Do you need me to accompany you?"
"As you wish," Beauty Yang said.
With that, Beauty Yang closed the door and walked outside. Lu An thought about it for a while, but eventually decided to follow him.
The two of them did not walk towards the Inner Peak. Instead, they walked towards the forest outside. Stepping on the snow, it made a crisp sound in the quiet night.
"I'm participating." Lu An said softly, "There was an exchange battle at the banquet tonight. One of them was injured, so Huang Zhizhong asked me to take his place."
Hearing this, Beauty Yang simply replied, "Yes."
Lu An did not mind. He knew that for a peak Level 6 Heavenly Master, this competition was like a child's fight. Even the battle in Purple Lake City's forest was much more intense than this competition between the eight countries.
Thinking about it, Beauty Yang had been in the Great Success Heavenly Mountain for three months. Lu An turned to look at Beauty Yang and asked, "You've been away from Purple Lake City for so long. Do you miss your daughter?"
Hearing this, Beauty Yang's footsteps paused. There was finally some change on her cold face.
Lu An also stopped and looked at Beauty Yang. He knew that he had guessed Beauty Yang's thoughts.
A person who could travel in the middle of the night must have something on her mind. And for Beauty Yang to have something on her mind, other than something that she did not want to express, it could only be Yang Mu.
"I'm also about to become a Level 3 Heavenly Master." Lu An thought for a while and said softly, "If everything goes well, I'll be able to break through in a month. If I'm slow, I'll be able to break through in two months. If I'm unable to break through in two months, it means that I'll be stuck here. "
"Whether I'm stuck or become a Level 3 Heavenly Master, I'll bring you back to Purple Lake City." Lu An said softly, "In two months at most, you'll be able to see Yang Mu. Moreover, I'll let you stay for half a month."
Hearing Lu An's words, Beauty Yang, who had been standing silently, finally moved and nodded gently.
"Are you in a better mood?" Lu An smiled and said, "I'll accompany you for a while. After all, it's already late. It's time to sleep."
With that, Lu An turned around and took the initiative to walk forward. On the contrary, Beauty Yang stood in place and looked at Lu An walking forward in the dark.
Suddenly, she felt that she did not follow the wrong person. Moreover, in these seven months after the Spiritual Consciousness Sacrifice, she did not know when it started, but she was willing to listen to this man's orders.

Three days later, Inner Peak.
In these three days, in addition to visiting the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain, the people from the Seven Great Holy Lands were also nervously giving their disciples the final special training. The Eight Countries Competition was a major event that happened once every eight years. The significance of it was definitely not a joke.
Time passed little by little, and finally, it was the third day, which was also the first day that determined the next eight years!
Before dawn, or even far before dawn, the disciples of the other five main peaks had all gotten up and rushed to the Inner Peak. As the home ground that only happened once every 64 years, this was the glory that every disciple wanted to witness. All the disciples of the Dacheng Heavenly Mountain went to the Inner Peak, which was also the advantage of the home ground.
The distance between the five main peaks and the Inner Peak was not close, so they had to get up so early. Under the leadership of the elders of the main peaks, these disciples were also very excited. Most of these disciples had never been to the Inner Peak. Just being able to enter the Inner Peak was enough to make them excited.
The disciples who were not participating in the Inner Peak not only had to take care of the people from the Seven Great Holy Lands, but also the disciples of the other main peaks. For example, leading the disciples of the other main peaks to enter the venue and arrive at the designated seats.
As a participating disciple, Lu An did not have to do this. However, in order to help, and also to meet his friends, he took the initiative to welcome the people from Blue Water Peak with the other disciples.
A group of disciples was already waiting at the entrance of the Inner Peak for the people from Blue Water Peak when the sun had just risen, waiting for their arrival. Indeed, not long after, many figures appeared on the mountain path below, covering the entire path from the front to the back.
Lu An was delighted. He led the other disciples down the mountain to welcome them. Soon, Lu An and the other disciples met up with the people from Blue Water Peak. Lu An bowed to Tong Tianshui, who was at the front, and said, "Disciple Lu An greets the Peak Master!"
Tong Tianshui was startled when he saw Lu An. He could immediately tell that Lu An was already at the peak of the second rank. When he sent Lu An over half a year ago, Lu An was only at the middle stage of the second rank. Reaching the peak of the second rank in half a year was indeed a fast speed.
"Your strength has improved a lot. You did not disgrace Blue Water Peak!" Tong Tianshui nodded and said with a smile.
Hearing this, one of the disciples behind Lu An said, "Peak Master, Lu An also took part in the Competition of the Eight Countries!"
"Really?" Tong Tianshui was startled. He really did not know about this. He had seen the name list, but he did not remember Lu An's name being on it.
Lu An smiled and said, "Someone was injured three days ago, so I filled in at the last minute."
"Filling in is also a participant." Tong Tianshui seemed to be more interested. He said, "That's right. Being able to represent Sky Mountain in such an important competition is also an honor for Blue Water Peak. Try your best to get a good ranking. Don't let them look down on the disciples from Blue Water Peak. "
Lu An nodded and said, "I understand."
"Lead the way," Tong Tianshui said with a smile.
However, just as Lu An was about to turn around and lead the way, a cry of surprise came from the crowd.
"Lu An?!"
It was a mixture of two voices. It was the voice of a man and a woman. However, these two voices were indescribably familiar to Lu An!
Immediately, Lu An turned around and looked back. Then, he was shocked!
"Senior Sister Han?! Elder Wei?! "
