Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown-Chapter 201: Battle for Second Place?

Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Battle for Second Place?
Someone like Zhao Xuan, Lu Ran wasn’t about to give face to him at all.
Many people were watching from the sidelines now.
Everyone saw how Zhao Xuan was throwing out harsh words.
But Lu Ran wasn’t intimidated at all and directly retorted.
Didn’t you say I was being opportunistic? That I had no real skills?
Fine, then let’s have a Death Battle Contract, a duel that’s fair and just. But unlike these arena matches, where dropping to 1% health means defeat but not death, with a rule enforcing a minimum health retention.
But with a Death Battle Contract, if it’s signed, then if you die, it’s real death!
Right now.
Everyone’s eyes turned to Zhao Xuan, waiting to see how he would respond.
Not agreeing would mean he’s chickening out, lacking real skills, all talk and no action, challenged by Lu Ran and afraid to accept!
That would be a huge loss of face!
In the future, Zhao Xuan might have to hang his head low walking down the streets of the Imperial Capital.
But if he agrees.
Judging by Lu Ran’s abilities, although not much is known, no one’s even seen his undead creatures as an Undead Mage.
Yet with a single Blood Spear, and facing his bizarre ten-second invulnerable state without losing any health.
If you agree, damn it, you’re really going to die!
Face and life, which is more important?
Zhao Xuan was filled with humiliation at this moment, but the fear of death suppressed him completely.
His face was ashen, his teeth almost grinding to dust.
He looked at Lu Ran with clenched fists, his eyes red.
But he couldn’t squeeze out a single word.
He didn’t dare!
Truly didn’t dare to agree!
"Since you don’t dare agree, then stop talking nonsense. Think I’m not skilled? Let’s have a Death Battle Contract, understand?" Lu Ran asked, raising an eyebrow.
If I don’t teach you a lesson, you’d really think I’m a pushover?
With that said.
Lu Ran turned and left.
Behind him, Zhao Xuan’s body trembled violently, perhaps with fear, perhaps with rage, but in any case, today’s confrontation with Lu Ran ended with his total defeat!
Below the stage.
The Zhao Family.
Zhao Deyang felt as bad as swallowing dung, his face terribly grim.
"Master, that kid is too arrogant! We can’t just let it go like this, we must get justice for the young master!" a furious woman beside him said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Deyang turned to the woman.
In a cold tone, he asked, "So, you mean to tell me to go against the Four Major Guilds and cause trouble for Lu Ran?"
The expression on the woman’s face froze immediately.
Stammering, she said, "I... I didn’t mean it like that, I..."
"If not, then shut up, tell Zhao Xuan to scurry home, there’s nothing for him here anymore." Zhao Deyang said blandly.
Then.
He didn’t even glance at Zhao Xuan but looked at Lu Ran’s departing figure instead.
To reach Zhao Deyang’s position, his thoughts were far beyond simple vendettas.
Now Lu Ran had already proven his capabilities and worth.
"Prepare a generous gift for me. Tonight, I want to visit the Celestial Path Alliance headquarters!" Zhao Deyang mused.
"Isn’t that a bit too impulsive?" someone beside him cautiously asked.
"Impulsive? Everyone from the major families should know what to do by now. Too bad, we should’ve struck preemptively last night." Zhao Deyang lamented.
"There’s still the fourth round in the afternoon, shouldn’t we wait and see before deciding?" the person continued.
"Are you brainless? If Lu Ran loses in the afternoon match, should we take back the preparations or what?" Zhao Deyang roared in anger.
Although he wouldn’t trouble Lu Ran because of Zhao Xuan’s defeat, it’s not because he’s noble, but because he doesn’t dare!
The frustration in his heart was real!
And his subordinate’s idiocy only added fuel to his fire, which he couldn’t suppress.
Though Zhao Deyang was right, it was the subordinate who was muddled in thought.
Preparations should be made now, and a visit to the Celestial Path Alliance headquarters in the evening.
Although there’s still the fourth round in the afternoon, it doesn’t interfere with each other. Even if Lu Ran loses the fourth round and the Four Major Guilds abandon him, then just don’t do the visit.
But as of now.
How could Lu Ran lose?
Damn invincible!
Faced with Zhao Xuan’s ten-second Phantom state burst, not a single drop of health was lost!
At the same time, with a single Blood Spear, he took out his opponent.
Being invincible and able to easily take out opponents, how can other participants fight against him?
All the so-called champion favorites, the so-called geniuses of the Imperial Capital, stand no chance in front of Lu Ran!
As things stand, the championship can only be Lu Ran’s!
After that, Zhao Deyang lost interest in watching further matches and left hastily with his people.
Many from other major families quietly retreated to prepare their gifts as well.
Tonight, the Celestial Path Alliance is expected to be bustling.
In the lounge.
Su Ting and Lu Ran returned here.
Su Ting looked at Lu Ran as if looking at a monster.
The Blood Spear insta-kill left Su Ting utterly bewildered.
But what about the invincible state?
Zhao Xuan, as a Qimen Celestial Master, his output is undeniably terrifying!
Among the same level of new professionals, those who can withstand Zhao Xuan’s ten-second burst are few and far between!
Yet despite this.
Those who can withstand Zhao Xuan’s burst would have their health significantly depleted.
But Lu Ran, standing still without even using defensive methods, didn’t drop any health!
This is simply breaking the rules of this world!
"Sister Tingting, curious why I didn’t lose health?" Lu Ran asked, looking at Su Ting.
He’s not dumb.
Not just Su Ting, probably everyone in the Imperial Capital witnessing the earlier fight is curious!
Su Ting nodded.
But quickly shook her head, saying, "Don’t tell me. The four presidents helped you keep it under wraps all this time, not for you to casually spill it. I won’t ask those questions. When you’re ready to show it to everyone, I will know naturally."
Uh...
Lu Ran was actually planning to tell Su Ting.
After all, the four presidents already said Lu Ran no longer needed to hide himself.
But since Su Ting put it this way, Lu Ran didn’t insist.
Very soon.
The third round of the competition concluded successfully.
Ultimately, thirteen people advanced to the fourth round in the afternoon.
Among them was Cong Shuang, because she had a bye.
But right now, I believe out of these thirteen who advanced, no, all twelve except Lu Ran, are in despair.
Faced with someone like Lu Ran, how the heck can they fight!
Now the situation has turned into a competition for second place among them.
Moreover.
If luck is on your side in the fourth round and you don’t encounter Lu Ran, advancing will greatly boost your rewards!
Of course.
The fourth round will also have one lucky bye.
In the end, a total of seven people will enter the fifth round tomorrow morning!
These seven will be divided into three groups, with one having a bye again, so four people will enter the sixth round.
And on the morning after, two confrontations will take place, four competing for two spots, and then the final battle for the championship!
