In the lounge.

Lu Ran looked at Su Ting curiously.

He originally thought Yu Qingcang just arranged for a nice sister to take care of him.

Unexpectedly, Su Ting's reputation was so grand!

In fact.

In the Imperial Capital, Su Ting's reputation back then was no less than Cong Shuang's now!

"Sister Tingting, what kind of place is the Tianfu Society?" Lu Ran asked curiously.

"You can think of it as an academy, but unlike an academy, after graduation, you'll leave the academy. But the Tianfu Society, once you join, unless expelled by Tianfu Society, you can't exit on your own. Of course, no one would want to leave because the Tianfu Society has great benefits and high status," Su Ting said.

But it's hard to join the Tianfu Society.

There are quite a few people from the Imperial Capital.

People from other main cities can also join, but as I said, even if you have a hidden profession, you may not be able to join.

The Tianfu Society will comprehensively evaluate your professional abilities and combat power and will invite you to join.

Cong Shuang was invited to join.

If you want to join, you have to be outstanding among hidden professions, which shows how difficult it is.

"It's not because of combat power that you have no hope, but because the Undead Mage profession is simply not within their consideration. However, if your performance at the Hundred Cities League catches their attention, like winning the championship, you still have a chance to join. Members of the Tianfu Society have high benefits and good treatment, and also carry significant responsibilities, which involves a lot that you'll understand later. For now, focus on the competition," Su Ting said to Lu Ran.

Then.

She looked at Lu Ran with curiosity and asked, "What do you think your chances of winning the championship this year are?"

Without thinking, Lu Ran said, "One hundred percent. I'm here for the championship reward, Xinxin said the rewards for the Hundred Cities League champion are very generous."

Su Ting was a bit stunned upon hearing this.

She had experienced the Hundred Cities League, which was full of hidden talents.

Everyone had hidden professions and were all chosen from various main cities as top players.

Besides, they were all newcomers for more than twenty days, so the gaps weren't particularly large.

It wasn't easy for Su Ting to become the champion back then.

Moreover.

Even Cong Shuang this year, despite her confidence, doesn't dare guarantee winning the championship.

But Lu Ran has this confidence.

The chances of winning the championship are one hundred percent!

Outside the arena at this time.

Half of the stages have been removed, leaving only twenty-five stages.

Because there are only fifty participants left.

The crowd encircling is smaller now.

During the draw, Lu Ran didn't care which stage or corner, who the opponent was, what profession, or where they came from.

Anyway, in Lu Ran's view, it's all one-hit KO, no need for any worries.

"Stage 12." Lu Ran glanced at his draw result.

Then.

Matched with an opponent.

The one who also drew stage twelve was a girl named Cen Yunuo, whose profession was Summoner.

The Summoner itself is also a hidden profession, but there's a great difference among them.

Because the types of contracted summoned beasts vary.

Similar to Japan's Yin Yang Master, where different Shikigami lead to great differences in combat power and category among Yin Yang Masters.

Su Ting saw the matched opponent.

Immediately said:

"A Summoner's combat power comes from the summoned beast."

"Summoned beasts include Close Combat, long-range, Healing, Support, Defense, Magic, Physical, and so on."

"But since you're competing in the Hundred Cities League, the likelihood of being Strong Attack is high."

"Remember not to get entangled with the summoned beast, capture the thief by capturing the king."

"As long as you deplete the Summoner's health, she loses."

"If you get tangled with the opponent's summoned beast, it becomes a vicious circle of consumption against you, a snowball effect."

"Your profession is Magic Series, which means your build is fragile, so be careful."

...

Su Ting didn't know that Lu Ran has an Undead Army in his Universe in the Sleeve to help him resist damage.

Even if he stands there letting the opponent attack, she'll be exhausted to death without being able to kill Lu Ran!

"I understand, Sister Tingting, don't worry, I'll finish the battle quickly," Lu Ran nodded and said.

"Just be careful," Su Ting followed up.

But inside she was a bit amused.

This guy might be special compared to other Undead Mages, but his confidence is overblown!

Never seen before!

If it weren't for Lu Ran's eye-catching performance in the first round, Su Ting would have thought this guy is an incompetent egotist.

On the other side.

In Cong Shuang's small room.

Her stage is stage ten, and her opponent is also a Magic Series profession.

She doesn't take her opponent seriously at all.

Just feels a bit regretful for not being matched with Lu Ran.

She's genuinely curious about Lu Ran's real capabilities that got him listed as a prospective member by the Four Major Guilds.

Even Ye Hong personally amended the rules of Red Robe Tower, making Lu Ran the only male member of the Red Robe Tower!

"No worries, hopefully, Lu Ran won't be eliminated early. As long as he isn't eliminated, there's always a chance to meet. But if he gets eliminated soon, then I won't have any reason to pay attention to him," Cong Shuang murmured as she spoke.

Taking a deep breath, seeing that it was almost time, the players got ready to enter!

The second round being in the afternoon meant there were more people in the square, but many spectators couldn't get to the front.

When Lu Ran came out, Cong Shuang was already on stage ten.

Lu Ran passed by under her stage.

Cong Shuang kept staring at Lu Ran, and sensing her gaze, Lu Ran looked over.

Eyes met, Lu Ran's expression was calm.

And he even smiled politely at Cong Shuang.

After all, she's Cong Yu's sister, though to be fair, Cong Shuang and Cong Yu do look alike!

No wonder they're twins.

But they simply look almost identical, their personalities and professions are completely different.

Cong Yu is quirky and playful, while Cong Shuang is much calmer, even a bit cold.

Seeing Lu Ran smile at her, Cong Shuang was taken aback, then politely nodded, considered it a response.

Then.

She watched Lu Ran proceed to stage twelve, separated by another stage in between.

Close enough to see how Lu Ran fights.

Su Ting was right beside Lu Ran's stage.

"Focus on the match, adapt according to the opponent's summoned beast type, remember not to engage in prolonged battles, beating the opponent is the primary goal, not beating the opponent's summoned beast," Su Ting said to Lu Ran.

Lu Ran nodded.

Looked at the opponent.

A small-framed girl, dressed very cutely, with twin ponytails, a puff skirt, a very delicate little loli.

"My name is Cen Yunuo," Cen Yunuo said politely.

"Lu Ran," Lu Ran responded.

But actually, introductions weren't necessary.

Once opponents are matched, they already know each other's names and professions.

"An Undead Mage, but such a high level and able to join the Hundred Cities League, an interesting guy. Your performance in the first round was very controversial, in this second round, you mustn't go easy on me, let's have a fair duel, friendship first, competition second," Cen Yunuo said with a smile.

Few have said such things to their opponents, urging them not to hold back.

Lu Ran nodded and said, "Alright, let's go all out."
