Qin Wuyao chimed in.

It didn't lessen the intensity of their mockery.

The leading young man said, "Qin Wuyao, I heard you're not signing up? What's the matter? Afraid that if you take the spotlight, your pretty boy at home won't stand a chance?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Qin Wuyao took a quick step forward.

Slap!

A big slap landed right on his face.

Swift and decisive!

Lu Ran's eyes lit up as he watched, admiring Qin Wuyao's character—straight to the point, seeing something wrong and taking action!

"You..." the young man glared.

Instinctively wanting to retaliate.

But Qin Wuyao said, "Liu Haitao, even without relying on the Qin Family, I can tear that mouth of yours apart. What right does a rare profession have to jump around in front of me?"

After she finished speaking.

Her gaze swept over to the rest of the group.

As her eyes passed over them, the few who were aggressive just moments ago suddenly withered.

Qin Wuyao herself held a hidden profession and was at a higher level than them, not to mention the backing of the Qin Family. What could they possibly use to compare with Qin Wuyao? What could they fight with?

They could mock Lu Ran now because even though Lu Ran's level was high enough, he was just a regular profession Undead Mage.

But if Qin Wuyao had signed up.

They wouldn't stand a chance.

It was precisely because Qin Wuyao forfeited the sign-up that those with rare professions were eligible to compete.

The reason for their mockery of Lu Ran wasn't necessarily because Lu Ran was too competitive, but because as a regular profession, he had left their leveling efforts far behind.

This sense of professional superiority and the levels they obtained made them extremely unbalanced inside!

At this moment.

Lu Ran also stepped forward.

The current Lu Ran was no longer the man he used to be.

He cast a glance at the few people in front of him.

Calmly said, "I remember you guys. Back then, your spiritual power was far inferior to mine, but compared to ordinary classmates, it was relatively high."

Then.

From left to right.

Lu Ran said one by one, "Song Xiaoya, Liu Haitao, Zhu Xudong, Deng Zhijie. I didn't expect that you four were rather tenacious, seeking a presence right in front of me. Well, no need to hide, I'm telling you straight: today, that spot is mine, no one can take it."

They didn't dare to oppose Qin Wuyao.

But Lu Ran was different.

The moment Lu Ran spoke, the group suddenly became lively.

"Arrogant! What gives you the qualification?"

"Do you think just saying it makes it yours?"

"An ordinary Undead Mage, so what if your level is high? In the end, it's still a common trash profession!"

"Want to compete with us for the spot? Keep dreaming!"

...

Lu Ran couldn't be bothered to argue with them.

Waving his hand, he directly said, "If so, let's make a bet?"

A bet?

The four were taken aback.

Lu Ran continued, "Since you're so confident, let's bet on whether that spot belongs to me or any one of you four."

Hearing this, the four of them exchanged glances.

They all nodded.

"Sure, let's bet, you brought it on yourself."

"Funny, you even dared to bet with us? Trying to scare us?"

"Haha… just don't back out when the time comes."

"Yeah, first tell us what we're betting on?"

...

Lu Ran's lips curled slightly.

Looking indifferently at the four, he casually said, "If we bet, let's make it big, forget about money or equipment. We'll bet our lives. If I lose, I die. If you lose, you die."

It was as simple as that.

But it startled the four.

Goodness, he was playing so big!

Yet, upon thinking further, they seemed to have no reason to refuse?

In the Hundred Cities League, the element the profession occupies is very significant, almost with no regular professions appearing.

Even with a high level, regular professions can hardly gain much advantage.

Especially for magic series professions like the Undead Mage. Among powerful hidden professions, assassin series professions with much lower levels but intense burst strength can nearly kill Lu Ran in seconds!

"Alright, let's bet, do you really think we're afraid of you?"

"Bet our lives? Haha… trying to scare me?"

"Just don't back out when you lose—we can afford to gamble."

"What if you refuse to die when you lose?"

...

The four teased as they looked at Lu Ran, asking.

Thinking Lu Ran was just bluffing, trying to scare them into backing down and saving face.

But they refused to give in.

Instead, they pressed further.

Even finding this move simply too satisfying, perfectly thwarting Lu Ran.

Let's see what Lu Ran would do.

Originally thinking Lu Ran's plan had been exposed, he would angrily storm off in embarrassment.

But unexpectedly.

Lu Ran remained very composed.

He looked at Qin Wuyao.

Without him having to speak, Qin Wuyao instinctively understood, taking out a few pieces of yellow parchment and handing them to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was a bit surprised, looking at Qin Wuyao with amusement, he said, "No one knows a husband like his wife—she really understands me."

Qin Wuyao's face showed a hint of pride.

But she quickly realized what Lu Ran's words implied, glaring at him.

Fists clenched, she punched Lu Ran hard in the side.

Scolding, "You rascal, what nonsense are you spouting?"

But she didn't seem angry; on the contrary, her cheeks were flushed.

Lu Ran waved the pieces of parchment in front of the four.

"You guys really talk too much. Since we can afford to gamble, let's get down to business. No one will worry about backing out—the contract is here. We'll sign the bet, and once the wager is completed, the system rules will erase the loser, making it hard not to die."

Seeing the yellow parchment contract, the expressions of the four darkened to the extreme.

Nobody expected that Lu Ran would dare to play so big!

Even bringing out a contract!

This way of establishing a bet through a contract and signing it was a product of the world's system rules.

If they signed it.

The wager would be valid.

Once the wager was completed, the losing side would have to fulfill the wager automatically according to the contract.

If they bet money or equipment, it would automatically be deducted.

If they bet their lives.

After the wager was completed, they'd die on the spot!

"Lu Ran, you…" Liu Haitao stammered, looking at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran looked back at them coldly.

Lu Ran was no longer the Lu Ran from before.

Jumping right in my face, and if I don't give you something interesting, how could I let it slide?

A beating?

That's not satisfying enough; we'll play for real!

Want to mock me? I'll play life-or-death with you. If you can handle it, come. If not, get lost. It's that simple!

"What? Not daring anymore? Weren't you confident? No courage, yet claiming you can play? If you can't play, get lost, stop being an eyesore with your bluffing. Just a measly rare profession, what's there to be so smug about?" Lu Ran cursed directly, without any mercy.

Originally, the four didn't want to agree.

Because once they signed it.

Either they or Lu Ran would have to die!

Even though they were confident.

But…

If the unexpected happened, and Lu Ran really secured the spot, not even an Immortal could save them then!
