At the forefront of the tournament stage.

All the major leaders were seated.

But as in previous years, it was the same leaders coming and going, along with the people from the Full-time Alliance.

This year is different.

When Ye Hongyi, Yu Qingcang, Liu Xinxin, and Lei Tai appeared, the atmosphere instantly reached a climax!

The presence of these four in the minds of the professionals was far more explosive than those high-ranking leaders.

Even the host was extremely excited.

After a simple greeting in the opening remarks.

The host excitedly shouted, "I believe everyone has seen that this year's Hundred Cities League, the presidents of our Longxia's Four Major Guilds: Celestial Path Alliance, Battle Banner National Defense Army, Red Robe Tower, and Mirror Flower Water Moon, have all come to our competition venue!"

The scene immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The audience was already eagerly waiting.

"Four presidents, can we understand that in this year's Hundred Cities League, there are selected participants from all four guilds among the contestants?" the host asked.

Clearly.

This young host has been hosting the Hundred Cities League for several years, and he is quite adept at quickly maximizing the on-site atmosphere and the audience's focus and expectations!

"You can understand it that way." Yu Qingcang did not hold back or find the host's question offensive, and he openly admitted it.

The other three also nodded along.

Seeing the four nodding, the host was very surprised, never expecting his gamble to be right!

There really are contestants chosen by these four guilds?

Similarly.

The audience was equally thrilled.

"Wow, who did the four guilds choose this year?"

"All four came, could it be that there are four geniuses among the contestants?"

"The Celestial Path Alliance's contestant, it should be Cong Shuang, right? What about the other three?"

"This year's contestants are overall of high quality; it's hard to guess the other three."

...

People were discussing wildly.

But no one ever thought that the reason the four guilds and the four presidents came is all because of one person!

The one person favored by all four!

Of course, the host wouldn't foolishly dig deeper.

With the mystery, the competition would be more intriguing.

It would make everyone closely watch the competition and each contestant's performance!

After a brief introduction.

"Now, let's warmly welcome all the contestants of this year's Hundred Cities League to the stage!" the host shouted.

The first round of the Hundred Cities League officially began!

All the students came out from their respective small rooms backstage and walked into the arena according to their designated sequence.

Each contestant had an accompanying person.

Some were followers, some were arranged by their respective academies.

By Lu Ran's side, naturally, it was Su Ting.

"Ring number six, in the corner, remember what I said, your opponent has high magic resistance, don't trade blows."

"Use your undead creatures to restrain them, then supplement the damage."

"Avoid using Undead Touch easily, save it for when your opponent approaches, then open the distance again."

"Also, don't use Corpse Explosion for now, maximize the damage from the Skeleton Soldiers."

...

Su Ting painstakingly advised.

Lu Ran listened clearly.

But he didn't need to do it that way at all, so he waved his hand and said, "Relax, Sister Tingting, I know how to fight, quick and decisive, there will be no problem."

"You..." Su Ting wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing Lu Ran's determined expression, she could only sigh inwardly.

Could not understand why Yu Qingcang arranged for her to look after Lu Ran.

This kid...

Too arrogant!

Then.

Lu Ran walked onto the ring.

There was still some distance from the Cong Family's exclusive seats.

Cong Yu craned her neck to look around, then excitedly said, "Ring number six, Lu Ran is on ring number six!"

Beside her, Cong Jixian said with mixed laughter, "You silly girl, your sister is on ring number twenty-six, right in front of you, and you're not watching her, but paying attention to ring six, just an Undead Mage, he'll be eliminated soon, nothing worth watching."

Cong Yu pouted and said, "He's my friend, and moreover, he's really strong!"

Cong Yu couldn't forget Lu Ran's Titan Python!

Then.

Cong Yu looked back towards ring twenty-six.

Cong Shuang had already taken the stage, quietly waiting.

Her opponent was a young man, a hidden profession, but his face had turned green at the moment.

Cong Shuang from the Imperial Capital, how the hell is he supposed to fight this!

His luck was simply incredibly bad!

"Sister, go for it! Crush that opponent!" Cong Yu shouted at this point.

Cong Shuang, who had been very quiet, turned her head and glanced, feeling both amused and helpless.

Then she looked up at her opponent.

The young man hurriedly put on a smile and said, "Cong Shuang, I'm honored, but please go easy on me."

Go easy?

Cong Shuang shook her head and said, "Quick and decisive fight, I will give my best, hope you can withstand it."

Ahh...

The young man's face turned even darker.

And at this moment.

There was a servant who briefed Cong Yu on the situation at ring number six, evidently, Cong Yu had asked someone to keep an eye on Lu Ran.

"His opponent is the Profound Armor Berserker?" Cong Yu was a little surprised.

"Now there's even less to watch, girl, focus on your sister's performance." Cong Jixian interjected upon hearing this.

"But he won't lose either," Cong Yu confidently said.

Cong Jixian couldn't help but turn his head to look closely at Cong Yu.

This girl seldom gets this close with other boys; male friends are rare, almost none.

Why suddenly such confidence in an Undead Mage?

He couldn't help but glance at the direction of ring number six, wondering to himself, isn't that just an Undead Mage?

At this moment.

After all contestants took the stage, the competition started a three-minute countdown, after which the match officially begins!

However.

Most people's attention was focused on hidden professions and some popular competitors.

They were still speculating who the lucky one picked by the Four Major Guilds really was.

While at the far corner of the second row's end, ring number six looked somewhat pitiful.

Not many were paying attention here.

Some even complained about their bad seat choice, unable to see the exciting battles on other rings.

Lu Ran was very calm.

Following the rules, compete, quick and decisive, nothing to pay special attention to.

If there's anything to be mindful of, it's not to fall off the ring.

Because falling off the ring means losing!

Opposite.

Wang Yan chuckled.

The giant axe in his hand swayed, grinning at Lu Ran, clearly in a very good mood.

"Luck is really on my side, looks like our academy made the right decision, matched me with a magic series profession in the first round, still an Undead Mage, haha..." Wang Yan laughed excitedly.

Because as long as he passed the first round, even if eliminated in the second, there's a resource reward!

And if luck is a bit better in the second round, if matched with a magic series rare profession, he's almost guaranteed to win!

Unfortunately.

He has to face Lu Ran.

Destined he won't advance to the second round.
