Yu Qingcang's appearance attracted everyone's attention.

Yu Qingcang didn't even showcase his equipment, just dressed in casual clothes, his face alone was his trademark!

The guild emblem of the Celestial Path Alliance on his chest was his trademark!

As he passed by various class students, all the students couldn't help but stand up.

"It's Yu Qingcang, the chairman of the Celestial Path Alliance!"

"My God, what's happening today? All four guild chairmen are here!"

"Red Robe Tower, Battle Banner National Defense Army, Mirror Flower Water Moon, these three guilds have all recommended Lu Ran, could it be that the Celestial Path Alliance will do the same?"

"Who on earth is this Lu Ran? His connections are unbelievable!"

"I'm impressed, utterly impressed, those four idiots betting on a contract with Lu Ran, there's no way to comment!"

...

Yu Qingcang walked onto the stage.

The tutors from Black Fire Academy all stood up in unison.

The crowd gathered around the playground for the spectacle was completely stunned.

They were professionals from Black Fire City, just there for the excitement.

And it wasn't supposed to be something big.

Just Black Fire Academy announcing the candidates for the Hundred Cities League.

But the result.

Was so explosive!

As for those people from the four foolish guilds, their hearts were about to stop from fear.

"Everyone, please calm down, I'd like to say a few words." Yu Qingcang raised his hand slightly.

Perhaps having dealt with official duties in the Imperial Capital for too long, his speech inevitably carried some bureaucratic tone.

But the impact was immediate.

The entire playground, including those below, fell silent in an instant.

"I originally didn't plan to come forward, but since Lu Ran is our Celestial Path Alliance's prospective member, and also our recommended candidate this time, with such a matter arising, I feel it's necessary for me to step up." Yu Qingcang began.

Indeed!

The Celestial Path Alliance has also recommended and supported Lu Ran!

Opposite, Song Xiaoya and the other three were having a mental shutdown.

Tears couldn't help but slide down their faces.

Song Xiaoya instinctively opened her mouth, wanting to say something to beg for mercy.

It's quite normal, when facing death, people are willing to say anything to survive.

But then she closed her mouth again.

Because it was useless!

Contract gambling is a data-driven result, the rules are in control, unchangeable, and non-cancellable!

Since the contract was already signed.

They could only wait for the outcome and then fulfill the bet!

Between the four of them and Lu Ran, one side must die!

And given the current situation.

With the four top guilds in Longxia collectively supporting Lu Ran, this has never happened before in Longxia's history!

Even when the academies in each main city decided on candidates for the Hundred Cities League, though the Four Major Guilds participated, never had a chairman personally attended.

But today.

All four guild chairmen showed up!

The slot is definitely Lu Ran's, without a doubt!

And those four are definitely doomed!

Not even an Immortal can save them!

"Contract gambling, though not explicitly forbidden, is rarely used due to the unchangeable and regretless nature of such contracts. It was truly unwise for you all to sign so recklessly." Yu Qingcang said to Song Xiaoya and her group.

But that's all he had to say.

No need for more words.

Since everyone is graduated and awakened, they're all adults and should take responsibility for their actions.

Then.

Yu Qingcang looked at the people from those four guilds.

He asked casually, "Lu Ran will secure this spot, if you have any objections, you can raise them, and we can discuss this fairly."

Damn it, who would dare to discuss this with you!

"No, no, no need to discuss, we concede."

"Just a prospective member, we're actually not familiar."

"Such reckless behavior really doesn't suit our guild."

"Since all four major guilds recommend him, Lu Ran must surely have his strengths, there's no need for discussion."

...

The four of them said trembling.

This outcome was no surprise.

Yu Qingcang couldn't be bothered with more words, he directly looked at Jiang Zhenbei and said, "Announce the result."

He really just said a few simple words, not overly verbose or bureaucratic despite his status as the Celestial Path Alliance's chairman.

Jiang Zhenbei nodded, shouted loudly, "Since no one has any objections, I hereby announce on behalf of Black Fire Academy that class three's Lu Ran will represent Black Fire Academy to participate in this Hundred Cities League in the Imperial Capital."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Buzz~

The contract book in Song Xiaoya's hand, along with the other three's contract books, began to emit a bright light.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"Damn it, Lu Ran, it's all your fault! Bastard, I'll kill you!"

"Damn, we've been played, no wonder he was so confident!"

"Alas, we can only blame ourselves for looking for trouble for no reason, what were we thinking?"

...

Nothing they said made any difference.

The contract books in their hands disintegrated into powder and scattered away.

And the health bars of the four of them emptied instantly amidst their painful, despairing struggles.

Thud~

The bodies of all four collapsed to the ground at almost the same time, motionless.

Lu Ran looked at their bodies, sighing inwardly.

You all sought trouble with Lu Ran, and in a fair bet, even if it was based on personal combat ability alone, it's those four who would lose.

Both sides fair, each relying on their own skills.

But although Lu Ran didn't personally kill them, they died because of him.

Lu Ran didn't really pity or regret it, this was different from those people from the U.S.A, after all, they were Longxia people.

Bragging, arrogant, mocking, doesn't seem worthy of death?

At this moment.

Liu Xinxin suddenly patted Lu Ran's shoulder.

Whispered softly in his ear, "As adults, we must take responsibility for our actions, don't worry, focus on preparing for battle."

It had to be Liu Xinxin, seeing through Lu Ran's thoughts with a glance.

Lu Ran looked back at Liu Xinxin.

Nodded, saying, "Got it, Xinxin sis, I'm fine."

But at this moment.

It seemed someone was still unconvinced.

They shouted from the crowd, "Lu Ran is just an Undead Mage, it's justified for the four big guilds to recommend him, but recommending an Undead Mage, doesn't this imply some hidden connections? What's he relying on? Is it just because Lu Ran's level is high?"

The crowd was bustling, and it was impossible to see who was shouting.

Maybe they were speaking out of justice, maybe it was just pure jealousy that an Undead Mage like Lu Ran received such an honor.

But to shout this in the face of four guild chairmen.

Such courage!

Simultaneously.

The crowd began to murmur.

"Yeah, despite the grand scenario, he's still just an Undead Mage."

"I know about this Lu Ran, he levels up extremely fast, now it seems the four guilds have his back, how can he not be fast?"

"What's the use of leveling up fast, isn't it embarrassing to lose in the first round of the Hundred Cities League?"

"Just how much leverage does Lu Ran have behind him?"

...

Everyone's speculating about Lu Ran's network.

But no one considered Lu Ran's individual combat ability.

It's just that in this world.

Professions are fixed, levels, skills, the gaps aren't very large.

An Undead Mage, no matter how you think of it, couldn't be that formidable.
