Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Cong Shuang’s Warning
At first, Cong Shuang could still maintain her composure.
Because in her view, although the opponent’s defense was excellent, and their control extremely strong, with methods to seal magic, their damage output should not be high.
Cong Shuang, as a Magic Series profession, was indeed quite fragile.
But it should be no problem to endure the damage from such a profession for a few seconds.
Moreover.
This was based on the assumption that Cong Shuang had her own defense skills, but couldn’t use them due to the Magic Ban Seal.
Unfortunately.
She was wrong!
In the next few seconds, Zhang Zheng seemed like a different person.
Although it was Earth Magic, the burst was terrifying!
Under his attack, Cong Shuang’s life value rapidly dropped!
The few seconds of Magic Ban Seal passed quickly, and the moment she broke free, Cong Shuang had not yet lost.
But because her life had already dropped to a dangerous level.
Even though Cong Shuang reacted very quickly, under defense, she still couldn’t withstand Zhang Zheng’s subsequent attacks.
Soon, her life value descended to a critical point, and the match was declared over.
Cong Shuang was completely stunned.
She lost just like that!
An opponent she hadn’t even taken seriously had just straightforwardly defeated her!
Though Cong Shuang underestimated, her full firepower aimed for a quick victory.
Yet she couldn’t cause any damage to Zhang Zheng!
"Heavenly favored daughter, that’s all you got." Zhang Zheng remarked sarcastically.
Cong Shuang’s face turned dark.
She instinctively wanted to retort, but soon realized that even if it was done again, she seemed to have no solution.
Profession suppression!
This is profession suppression!
Facing the opponent’s skills strategy, Cong Shuang couldn’t think of a good counter temporarily, and besides, it was her first time battling an Earth Immortal, with no experience at all.
Defeat was inevitable, and the opportunity to win was very, very small.
"Your target is Lu Ran, I kind of understand that your profession is indeed strong, but Lu Ran is invincible; he doesn’t lose life. Even if you seal him with Magic Ban skills for a few seconds rendering him unable to attack you, it won’t matter. After all, Zhao Xuan once had ten seconds of full firepower; your end with Zhao Xuan’s was the same." Cong Shuang said thoughtfully.
"Is it?" Zhang Zheng’s mouth curled slightly, questioning her.
Cong Shuang was startled.
Isn’t that an obvious fact everyone could see?
"Have you ever thought that Lu Ran’s invincibility could come from an active skill of some special equipment? If I apply Magic Ban right away, can he still use his invincible skill?" Zhang Zheng asked casually.
Cong Shuang suddenly realized.
It’s possible!
A profession can’t be perpetually invincible.
It must be something Lu Ran did.
So it could only be a special skill from some equipment.
Because within the skill system of an Undead Mage, there’s simply no such terrifying bug-like invincible skill!
And if Zhang Zheng manages the Magic Ban first, preventing the invincible skill, wouldn’t Lu Ran also lose?
After all.
The body of an Undead Mage is also relatively fragile.
"I know Lu Ran, aren’t you worried I’ll tell your strategy to Lu Ran?" Cong Shuang asked.
"No worries, my speed is fast enough, at least faster than his Blood Spear." Zhang Zheng declared confidently.
Still, Cong Shuang felt that this Zhang Zheng might have other methods not yet used, at least some hidden tricks intended for Lu Ran.
"I lost, indeed couldn’t win, but if you want to defeat Lu Ran, the difficulty isn’t small either, take care of yourself."
With those words, Cong Shuang stepped down from the stage.
That’s how it is with competitions.
Although regrettable, and unwilling, a loss is a loss, nothing much can be said.
After all.
She didn’t lose due to carelessness; Zhang Zheng’s profession abilities were indeed terrifying.
Zhang Zheng watched Cong Shuang’s receding figure with a smile.
Of course, he wasn’t worried about Cong Shuang communicating with Lu Ran.
Because the real tactics he prepared for Lu Ran weren’t the ones he showed!
As the saying goes.
If Lu Ran wants to win against him, or rather if Lu Ran wants not to lose the competition, unless Lu Ran can fly!
Everyone was watching the match.
The result—none expected!
"Cong Shuang actually... lost?"
"Who the heck is this Zhang Zheng? Never heard of this guy before?"
"He’s super strong, my goodness! Defense, burst power, control—all that strong, what kind of profession is this?"
"Look at the tournament list, seems like he’s an Earth Immortal, what kind of profession is this?"
"It’s a hidden profession, and such a rare one, he must be a genius!"
"Never thought Cong Shuang would lose, I expected to see Cong Shuang against Lu Ran."
"Wow... this will be exciting to watch, wonder how Zhang Zheng vs Lu Ran will turn out?"
"Do you even need to ask? Lu Ran is definitely the champion! Nobody else stands a chance!"
...
At the same time.
Cong Family.
The Cong Family also couldn’t accept this result.
It’s one thing for Cong Shuang to lose, assuming defeat would come at Lu Ran’s hands, but to lose to a profession from a Level 3 Main City they didn’t take seriously? Unbelievable!
The journey of the competition stopped there.
Eventually.
The three arena matches concluded.
The third person to advance, along with one on a bye, made a total of four people advancing to the afternoon semifinals and the final champion contest!
And among these four people.
The outcome was obvious, with Lu Ran being the favorite, followed by the suddenly rising and outstanding, the one who personally defeated Cong Shuang, the Earth Immortal, Zhang Zheng!
After the match, Lu Ran went to eat.
Halfway, he ran into Cong Shuang.
"I have something to tell you, let’s eat together." Cong Shuang said to Lu Ran.
"Okay." Lu Ran didn’t refuse.
At the restaurant.
Cong Shuang got straight to the point: "I believe you can easily win your next match, but that’s only if you don’t face Zhang Zheng in the next match. If you don’t meet him, you’ll end up against Zhang Zheng in the finals, and he is formidable!"
It was then that Lu Ran learned Cong Shuang had lost the match.
Then.
Cong Shuang recounted her match with Zhang Zheng.
"Magic Ban skills?" Lu Ran was a bit surprised.
In academy classes on each profession, instructors clearly stated that professions with Magic Ban methods might be average in dungeons, but when dueling other professions, they held a huge advantage!
It’s just that professions with Magic Ban methods are extremely rare.
Or rather, not just rare anymore but very scarce!
Unexpectedly.
It appeared in the Hundred Cities League.
"So, if your invincibility stems from a certain skill, I advise you to use it right away, otherwise face Zhang Zheng’s burst, which is strong enough to crush you when you’re not invincible."
Cong Shuang advised.
Finally.
As if remembering something else she added, "And besides, I don’t know if I’m being paranoid, but it seems Zhang Zheng has hidden other methods to deal with you—always be cautious in the competition and don’t stumble mindlessly."
Lu Ran nodded earnestly.
"Thanks, I’ll pay attention and won’t stumble mindlessly."
Because even Lu Ran himself, can’t think of a reason why he would lose.
