The second round of the competition successfully concluded.

Twenty-five people advanced.

Unlike previous years, this second round of the competition has been highly discussed this year!

Before the competition began, everyone's attention was focused on a few prodigies.

Among them, besides Cen Yunuo, there was Cong Shuang from the Imperial Capital, as well as a few other powerful rookie professionals.

Several of these individuals were from the Tianfu Society!

This made Lu Ran even more curious about the Tianfu Society.

After all, even Su Ting is a member of the Tianfu Society!

But beyond that, the one who drew the most attention and even overshadowed all the prodigies was Lu Ran!

This Undead Mage emerged suddenly, with a momentum stirring much recent discussion, becoming the new talk of the town.

The reason is one of the trademark skills of the Undead Mage, the Charged Blood Spear!

Even if the Blood Spear took eight seconds to charge, no one ever thought it could be so terrifying!

Lu Ran, as an Undead Mage, actually didn't have much luck in his first two matches.

His first opponent was a Profound Armor Berserker, naturally restraining magic professions, let alone an Undead Mage which lacks burst power.

Yet Lu Ran won.

A single Blood Spear, in a situation where the opponent's magical defense was extremely high, instantly killed the opponent!

However, those who saw Lu Ran fight in the first match were few, so rumors spread, leading many to approach with skepticism.

So in the second match, naturally, more people paid attention to Lu Ran.

And the second match was even more explosive!

The championship favorite Summoner Cen Yunuo, in a field covered with Molten Rock Big-Eating Flowers, protected by layers of Molten Rock Armor from the flowers, and activating a levelless defense equipment's active protection skill.

Still got instant-killed!

She faced the same Blood Spear that seemed almost pathetic!

This created a huge stir!

And a large batch of doubts vanished instantly!

After all.

If it was a relationship favor, bribing the opponent to cheat for victory, that could never happen with Cen Yunuo!

The Cen Family's Cen Yunuo, considering her family background, the cost to bribe her would be unimaginable!

Finally.

The question arises.

With the heated discussions, what is the deal with that Blood Spear?

Nobody knows, and nobody can guess.

If not for the four presidents being familiar with Lu Ran, having seen Lu Ran's panel, even they wouldn't have guessed why this is happening.

Celestial Path Alliance Headquarters.

Inside the office.

The four presidents were enjoying tea, tasting it delightfully.

"No wonder he's the candidate recommended by our four families together, he's strong." Lei Tai said excitedly.

"Quit the sarcasm, Lu Ran entering the competition is like a dimension-reducing strike. Don't even mention those rookie pros, even if we four teamed up, do you think we'd stand a chance?" Yu Qingcang said casually.

"Heh heh, indeed, we wouldn't win, it's impossible." Lei Tai chuckled.

There was no discouragement or unwillingness about being high combat professionals who cannot win against a rookie professional.

Because now, Lu Ran has truly grown into an unsurpassable mountain.

"Indeed, there's no way, with Lu Ran's Universe in the Sleeve full of undead army, he's practically undying and indestructible. If Lu Ran keeps replenishing, then he wouldn't die anyway." Liu Xinxin shrugged.

Not to mention Lu Ran also has a level 100 Dark Elf Queen Sillor, a sacred artifact forged by the Dwarf Race, a Natural Elf army aided by the Elf Wings, and the Yamata no Orochi!

Let alone rookie professionals, even worldwide, Lu Ran is a bug-level existence.

In the end.

Ye Hongyi sipped her tea delightfully, saying leisurely, "My brother is invincible."

Simple five words, expressing endless pride and excitement.

Instead, Lu Ran remained very calm.

Being very clear about his abilities, he naturally knew his combat power position.

Coming to participate in the Hundred Cities League indeed feels like bullying.

At this moment.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Yu Qingcang glanced over, saying casually.

Su Ting then pushed the door open and entered.

Because Yu Qingcang instructed Su Ting that when they and Lu Ran were in the office, no one else was allowed to come in.

So the visitor could only be Su Ting.

Of course, it didn't matter if someone else barged in, they no longer needed to keep Lu Ran a secret.

"Someone's here to play with Lu Ran." Su Ting said with a strange expression.

"Huh? Who's here to play with Lu Ran?" Yu Qingcang was stunned.

"Cen Family's Cen Yunuo, Lu Ran's opponent in today's second round." Su Ting said.

"Cen Family…" Yu Qingcang murmured: "The main body of the Cen Family isn't in the Imperial Capital. When Cen Yunuo was in the Imperial Capital, I didn't have much contact with the Cen Family. This Cen Family is mysterious, and now defeated, they're coming to connect with you, probably with bad intentions."

"What's to worry about, Lu Ran, go have fun. If they have any intentions, feel free to handle it yourself, a vengeance for a vengeance." Ye Hongyi directly said.

Uh...

Yu Qingcang then awkwardly laughed.

Always instinctively thought of Lu Ran as a rookie professional, hence worrying about his safety.

But actually, worrying about Lu Ran is less than worrying about themselves.

Lu Ran simply doesn't have any danger!

"Exactly, since that's the case, Lu Ran, just go and have fun." Yu Qingcang said.

Liu Xinxin and Lei Tai had no objections either.

Lu Ran recalled Cen Yunuo from today's match, as it's said don't hit a friendly face, Lu Ran had a good impression of this girl Cen Yunuo.

She wasn't discouraged even after her defeat.

Just as she was leaving, Cen Yunuo said she would come to find Lu Ran for fun, which wasn't just small talk, she really came!

"I'll go have a look." Lu Ran nodded and said.

At the entrance of the Celestial Path Alliance.

When Lu Ran walked over, he saw from afar Cen Yunuo standing gracefully under the shade of a tree, against the slanting afternoon sun, looking in Lu Ran's direction.

She came alone.

"Heh heh... Lu Ran, we meet again." Cen Yunuo said with a smiling face.

"You really came." Lu Ran said.

"Of course, since I'm already eliminated, I don't have any more matches, so I have plenty of time. Shall we go out and play?" Cen Yunuo nodded and said cheerfully.

She naturally stood next to Lu Ran, holding his arm familiarly.

What an easy familiarity!

Even Qin Wuyao back then made such moves with Lu Ran after some years of acquaintance in the academy.

This was only the second meeting with Cen Yunuo!

Lu Ran was even a bit uneasy.

At this moment.

Suddenly, another figure appeared on the other side of Lu Ran, also holding his arm.

Lu Ran was startled, turning his head to see it was Cong Yu!

"Lu Ran, didn't we agree to have dinner together tonight?" Cong Yu raised his eyebrows, looking at Cen Yunuo on the other side of Lu Ran with a hostile gaze.

Their eyes met, confronting each other!

In the building across, Cong Shuang was also watching this scene, her gaze intense.
