Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 222 You guys are strong? Then come at me all at once!
"You're being rude, get out of here."

Lu Ran said coldly, without even glancing at the blond-haired man.

As for Mochizuki Chika, at least she was a great beauty, so Lu Ran could tolerate her offense to some extent.

But what is this blond guy anyway?
How dare you spout nonsense in front of him?

Zhao Manyan picked at his ear, glanced at Mo Fan beside him, and asked, "What's that blond guy barking like a dog?"

Mo Fan shrugged and pointed at Jiang Yu: "I don't watch many Japanese adult films, but Jiang Yu, you should understand, right?"

Jiang Yu rolled his eyes, acting as if he watched a lot of movies.

The Nationalist team members completely ignored the blond man and continued walking forward on their own.

It was as if Lu Ran had just casually swatted away an annoying fly.

"Madman!! Utter disgrace, you idiot!!"

The blond man got up from the ground, glared fiercely at Lu Ran and the others' backs, and cursed through gritted teeth.

He had never been so humiliated, nor had the entire Kyushu National Government team ever been so humiliated.

These guys from the Kyushu National Government team completely disregarded the Japan National Pavilion!
Lu Ran and the others naturally wouldn't care about the thoughts of a minor character.

Not long after they entered Xishouge, Wangyue Mingjian caught up with them and offered to show them around.

Mochizuki Chika remained indifferent, not uttering a word throughout, but she kept stealing glances at Lu Ran.

Lu Ran noticed this, and a wicked smile crept onto his lips.

Led by Wangyue Mingjian, Lu Ran and his group carefully visited Xishou Pavilion.

The West Guardian Pavilion adopts a three-tiered, stepped layout.

The lower halls are intricate and complex, with mirrored symmetrical castle houses in all four directions, resembling an elaborately designed maze.

Without guidance, one cannot distinguish directions at all.

Ascend the stone steps between the castle buildings, and you will arrive at the well-equipped central pavilion.

It has a museum, library, training grounds, meditation rooms, and all facilities exude an air of luxury.

The top floor, the Upper Pavilion, is a military stronghold, containing a conference hall, watchtower, and magic array tower. Only the top-ranking members of the two guarding pavilions and the guarding mages are qualified to enter.

The most central area is the central government.

The cultivation facilities here are so complete that they can be described as a sacred place for cultivation that every monk dreams of.

Halfway through the tour, Mochizuki Meiken left first, instructing Mochizuki Chika to continue leading the way.

Lu Ran didn't care.

After touring most of the West Guardian Pavilion, Mochizuki Chika was about to lead everyone away.

Mo Fan pointed in the direction of the East Guardian Pavilion with a puzzled look and said:

"Won't they take us on a tour there?"

“That’s forbidden territory; ordinary people aren’t allowed in.” Mochizuki Chika tossed her hair and walked away decisively.

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed as he vaguely detected a trace of malevolent energy hidden within the East Guardian Pavilion.

At the banquet, the members of the Kyushu National Government team were invited to dine in the lower pavilion.

Many important figures from the Nishi-no-Kami-kaku, as well as the academic elites guarding the Japanese National Residence, gathered here for this banquet.

Jiang Shaoxu, along with Mu Nujiao, Mu Ningxue, and Nan Rongni, had just finished shopping and were returning from the banquet.

Jiang Shaoxu's purchases piled up on the table and corners, giving the group from the Japanese National Pavilion a real headache.

Clothes, bags, jewelry, shoes, and cosmetics!
These are all things that have absolutely nothing to do with magic.

The Kyushu National Team came to challenge us, and they even had time to go shopping?

What a shame!
"I really don't know how the Kyushu National Government team chose their players. At this crucial moment, instead of thinking about how to win, they're still thinking about buying this kind of stuff," someone from the Japan Pavilion mocked. Jiang Shaoxu, not one to mince words, retorted directly:
"I think the person in charge of your Japanese National Pavilion is just so-so, not even worthy of our interest!"

"What's wrong with me buying things? You're not worthy of my attention!"

Jiang Shaoxu's words were a direct attack on the entire group, causing everyone in Xishou Pavilion to frown.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the banquet changed in just a few words.
"Is this how you discipline your team members?" Mochizuki Chika looked at Lu Ran, who was sitting opposite her, and sneered:
"It seems your team members aren't very polite either, nothing special!"

Lu Ran looked up and saw that Wang Yueqianxun's eyes were fixed on him.

This meal was really unpleasant!

Are they here to cause trouble, and to hold this dinner party? Is this a trap?
Or do you want them to go easy on you later?

Now that things have come to this point, Lu Ran naturally has no appetite to eat anymore.

"National Pavilion Challenge? Can we start right away?" Lu Ran asked leisurely.

Upon hearing this, the instructors from the National Pavilion, including Wangyue Mingjian, were stunned and somewhat at a loss for words.

This is the first time I've seen someone so eager to challenge someone.

"What, you just got back from shopping and you already have the energy for a competition?" Mochizuki Chika grumbled.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan rolled up his sleeves and said casually, "Oh, they just came back from shopping. We don't need to lift a finger. A few of us can handle the beating up of the Japanese National Pavilion!"

Upon hearing this, all the Japanese players who were enjoying their meal were stunned!
This Kyushu National Government team only counts men, so how many people are there?

There were more than a dozen people at the Japan Pavilion!
An insult, an absolute insult!

Lu Ran laughed as well: "Could it be that there's a limit to the number of people allowed to challenge your country's pavilion?"

"Of course there are no restrictions, but won't you all have your meal first?" Mochizuki Meiken said with a smile.

"No need, I don't think it will take much effort to finish it."

"Moreover, in reality, I can handle it all by myself."

Lu Ran said casually as he walked out of the pavilion.

A certain mindset arose in everyone's heart.

Arrogant! Overbearing!
Want to take on a dozen at once?
Mochizuki Chika also sneered, "I hope you can still eat after you lose!"

Lu Ran smiled slightly and beckoned to her.

Beside him, Mochizuki Meiken sighed, and in his shock, instructed Mochizuki Chika to take people to the venue.

The Nishi-Kushoku Grand Arena is a huge diamond-shaped platform that stretches out over the mountains to the south, facing the ocean.

The arena has three sides that are exposed at a height of seven or eight hundred meters in the air.

The arena's barrier was hard to see, and there wasn't even a single railing.

The diamond-shaped arena looks more like a flat sheet.

Below, there are rocks extending from the mountainside supporting it.

Without needing to arrange any troops, Lu Ran simply leaped up and arrived at the center of the arena.

The instructors at the Japanese National Museum all frowned, and one of them asked in bewilderment:

"The captain of the Kyushu National Team? We haven't finalized the rules for the challenge yet, they are..."

"No need for such trouble!" Lu Ran waved his hand to interrupt.

"I will challenge all of you alone!"

Lu Ran's gaze swept over all the members of the Japanese National Pavilion team, finally landing on Mochizuki Chika, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Of course, that includes you, you haughty young lady."
