Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown-Chapter 215: Is This a Benefit for Everyone?

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Is This a Benefit for Everyone?
Half an hour of rest time.
Lu Ran and Zhang Zheng are both in the lounge.
However, at this moment, the lounge is only left with the two of them.
Besides the people accompanying them, it’s completely empty.
Time passes by second by second.
On stage.
The leaders relax briefly.
They discuss briefly about the two who have advanced.
This year’s competition can be described as the most unconventional and unexpected one.
The final two contestants in the grand finals.
One is an Undead Mage, a regular profession that has never appeared in the Hundred Cities League, let alone placed.
The other has also never appeared in the Hundred Cities League.
Although it’s a hidden profession, it’s the first appearance of a hidden profession, an Earth Immortal!
And as of now, this Earth Immortal is incredibly powerful!
Even Cong Shuang is no match, as Zhang Zheng dominated his way to the finals.
In previous years, a profession like Zhang Zheng’s would likely be the hottest favorite for the championship.
But this year is different.
Aside from Zhang Zheng, there’s also Lu Ran!
And as of now, everything Lu Ran has shown is basically a guaranteed championship.
The Earth Immortal is strong, but facing Lu Ran’s instant-kill Blood Spear and invincible state with no health drop, it’s hard to imagine anything defeating Lu Ran.
Off stage.
The spectators’ excitement is unprecedented:
"So exciting, the finals are about to start!"
"What’s there to watch, Lu Ran is definitely the champion."
"Not necessarily, the Earth Immortal seems to be able to ban magic, if Lu Ran can’t use his skills, how would he be invincible?"
"Isn’t Zhang Zheng hiding more methods? I’ve calculated, his skills aren’t complete."
"Incomplete skills? Is Lu Ran’s complete? Look at what skills Lu Ran has used, just the Blood Spear alone, damn!"
"The Blood Spear alone conquers everything, my Brother Ran is indeed the mightiest!"
...
All major families and factions are also closely watching.
In the Cong Family.
Cong Yu feels a bit nervous, occasionally glancing at Cong Shuang.
Cong Shuang, of course, understands her sister’s thoughts, and says, "There’s no need to worry too much, Lu Ran should be fine, unless he’s magic banned and unable to enter his invincible state. But no one knows if Lu Ran’s invincible state is skill-related."
On stage.
The four major leaders are leisurely waiting.
Unlike others, in their minds, Lu Ran has absolutely no chance of losing, not even a tiny bit!
At this moment.
Suddenly, Yu Qingcang’s communication device starts to vibrate.
This is quite normal, at Yu Qingcang’s level, his communication device hardly ever rests.
Yu Qingcang is comfortably watching the competition, not wanting to involve himself in any official matters.
But he glances at it anyway.
With that glance, Yu Qingcang is slightly taken aback.
Puzzled, he says, "There’s a situation."
Upon hearing this, the other three look at Yu Qingcang.
Yu Qingcang says, "The Imperial Capital’s city defense, managed by the Celestial Path Alliance, just ed that wild monsters outside suddenly stopped refreshing."
Hmm?
The other three are stunned.
"Monster siege?" Liu Xinxin is the first to ask.
This situation isn’t unfamiliar to Liu Xinxin, nor to the others.
Or rather, it’s not unfamiliar to any professionals.
Monster siege is a periodic main city defense battle, without notification, no fixed cycle, occurring randomly, but very rarely and with a low trigger rate.
For professionals, monster siege is a benefit.
Because during a monster siege, the participating monsters have random levels, but the experience is triple for monsters of the same level!
Monster sieges have difficulty levels.
The higher the difficulty, the higher the experience!
However, according to data over the years, the difficulty of monster sieges ranges from easy to the hardest, with the highest experience being five times and the lowest three times.
Every time there’s a monster siege, professionals are delighted.
Co-op monster slaying is highly efficient!
Moreover.
Wild monsters also drop loot, the drop rate isn’t increased, but there are a lot of monsters!
Furthermore.
The involved elite monsters, bosses, etc., also yield higher experience, and with luck, the drops are decent.
Even though monster sieges may seem like a main city survival challenge, in reality, they’re equivalent to a national benefit!
Especially in recent years, as everyone’s levels and combat power have increased, the difficulty of monster sieges relative to professionals has decreased.
Absolutely a national benefit!
"It should be a monster siege for sure, considering the time, it should start in about three hours, right?" Ye Hongyi asks.
"About right, anyway, by then, the Hundred Cities League will be over, and if Lu Ran wants, he can gain some experience." Lei Tai also says.
"There aren’t many days left until the national war, and during these few days, Lu Ran just needs experience, reaching level fifty will unlock the Abyss Bone Dragon, which will significantly boost Lu Ran’s combat power," Liu Xinxin nods and says.
They don’t take it seriously.
Monster sieges are essentially benefits.
But while others are relaxed, Yu Qingcang can’t afford to be careless.
He opens his communication device, arranging for city defense matters, and instructs the Celestial Path Alliance members to prepare for any unexpected situations.
The main city’s defense shield is also ready to be activated at any time.
Although monster sieges are beneficial events, over the years, there have been instances of inadequately defended small main cities failing to withstand the intensity, leading to breaches!
This is quite normal.
Some small main cities, or those with poor geographical locations, see a huge loss of high combat professionals unwilling to stay.
The local professionals suffer massive attrition.
This is also a reason for failed monster sieges.
But in the Imperial Capital, high combat professionals are everywhere, and the Celestial Path Alliance’s headquarters is here, unexpected events are impossible.
At the same time.
This unusual situation quickly makes its way to the crowd in the square.
"Really, a monster siege is happening?"
"Good news! After watching the thrilling competition, we can directly kill monsters and cash in!"
"Haha... Let’s team up, anyone interested?"
"Are there any fellow fans of Brother Ran who want to team up?"
"Teaming up with Lu Ran to kill monsters would be amazing."
"The timing is perfect, this is the data world giving us a national benefit reward!"
...
The crowd cheers with excitement.
Nobody worries about any unexpected incidents occurring.
They just see it as a national benefit for the Imperial Capital, especially since it’s been over a year since the last monster siege here.
What a great opportunity!
After issuing the orders, Yu Qingcang glances at the sky outside the city.
Scanning around, he feels something isn’t quite right.
The once clear sky seems to have turned gloomy, and the clouds surrounding the Imperial Capital appear like a giant ring, slowly brewing and gathering.
"I wonder what the difficulty of this monster siege will be," Yu Qingcang ponders.
"The known and encountered difficulty so far is level four, which is easy to judge, we’ll know when it happens," Liu Xinxin contemplates.
At this moment.
The competition time has arrived.
Lu Ran and Zhang Zheng, resting backstage, simultaneously receive the notification for the competition to start, and prepare to enter!
