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

Chapter 224 Lei Si Arrives, Overwhelming the Enemy in Every Way!
Before Lu Ran, a water-based constellation was rapidly being drawn at an incredible speed.

In an instant, a deep black water barrier stood before him!
"Water bloom canopy!"

This high-level water-based spell completely overwhelmed the first wave of magical attacks from the Japanese National Team players!
Even these magical bombardments failed to shatter the ripples of the Watery Sky Curtain.

After withstanding the first round of bombing, Shuihua Sky Screen is practically intact, can you believe it?
The entire venue was silent, but sounds of shock and horror seemed to echo throughout the hall!
Even the top-tier experts like Wangyue Mingjian suddenly stood up, staring at Lu Ran in shock!

His strength was truly terrifying, far exceeding everyone's expectations!
Seeing his painstakingly prepared attack easily blocked, the Japanese player wailed in despair!

"Holy crap, is he even human? His high-level constellations connect faster than our mid-level star charts?"

"Someone like that wants to play in the National Championships in Venice? Are you kidding me!"

Even Mochizuki Chika was deeply shocked by Lu Ran's strength at this moment!
She originally thought that Lu Ran's strongest magic was spatial magic!

After all, the reason they were able to take advantage of her when she was caught off guard was because of their strange spatial power!
But now it seems that his mastery of water-based cultivation is also extremely high!
As a mentor at the National Hall, Mochizuki Chika's vision is far superior to that of her students.

Lu Ran's water-based canopy was of a very high level!

And
The soul seed he fused with was also a top-grade water-type soul seed!
This increased the power of his water magic by countless levels.

It would be incredibly difficult for a mere mid-level spell to leave a mark on this level of water-and-flower sky, let alone break it.

Even with her water-based abilities, she had to admit that she was inferior!
Someone like that is perfectly capable of serving as the team leader and mentor for the Kyushu National Pavilion team.

What kind of prodigy has emerged from Kyushu this year to compete in the National Championship?
"Is that all the tricks you have? Even if I let you all go, you wouldn't stand a chance!" Lu Ran laughed wildly.

The next moment, he raised his right arm high, his fingertips pointing towards the sky!
The night was dark and silent, but suddenly, countless thunderclouds rolled in.

Thunder, its sound like a booming bell, resounded throughout the heavens!
Countless dark black lightning bolts surged forth, and annihilating electric threads intertwined wildly!
This scene terrified the students from the Japanese National Pavilion!
Even the spectators in the audience were in no better shape, already drenched in sweat!

As you know, this is a challenge from the Nationalist government.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that a super-level lightning mage was unleashing a powerful attack!

Mochizuki's lips twitched: "You, your lightning is also a top-tier soul seed? And your cultivation is no less than that of the water element?"

After hearing this, Lu Ran calmly shook his head.

Mochizuki Chika breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this thunder was merely impressive in its scale, and its actual power was likely limited.
These thoughts hadn't even lingered in Wang Yueqianxun's mind for a moment when she heard Lu Ran laugh:
"My lightning is naturally a top-tier soul seed, but its cultivation is indeed weaker than that of the water element."

Lei's cultivation level is weaker?
Are you kidding me?
The sweet smile on Mochizuki Chika's face was gone; Lu Ran's strength had dealt her a heavy blow!
"Water bloom canopy!"

Mochizuki Senkaku released a water barrier with an extremely wide range around her!

She wanted to take on Lu Ran's wrath along with the students from the Japanese National Museum behind her!
But the consequence of this is that no one can stay safely!
Above the sky, a blinding, dark bolt of lightning roared!
These terrifying thunderclaps echoed throughout the West Guardian Pavilion. Everyone below the stage felt dizzy upon hearing them, let alone the Japanese National Hall contestant who was facing Lu Ran on the field.

The next moment, the lightning converged, and a huge phantom slowly emerged.

A terrifying phantom, composed entirely of extremely violent lightning, stood in the sky.

Its head is adorned with a Thunder King Crown that constantly gleams with a deep black light.

Its lightning-like face revealed only a pair of clear, deep eyes, and its body was draped in a tube-shaped garment that covered it from the shoulders to the ankles.

He stood tall and proud in the sky, like a European pope! Reis!

Wangyue Mingjian, Fujikata Nobuko, and the other high-ranking members of the Double Hands Pavilion slammed their fists on the table and stood up!

This, this is Leisi, who dwells in the Tower of a Thousand Elf Races?
How is this possible? How could Lei Si appear here? Could it be that a high-level summoning mage has intervened?
Impossible. Lu Ran is clearly only at the high-level cultivation level, and there is no summoning aura surging around him.

The wise and experienced Wangyue Sword quickly came to his senses and exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be the power of the Soul Seed?"

Upon closer inspection, everyone indeed discovered something amiss!
Although the lightning formation was imposing and had a chilling aura, upon closer inspection it was indeed just a phantom!

Even so, the power of this phantom of Lei Si is still terrifying!
Although it is not as powerful as the real Rai, this phantom's strength is probably enough to hold its own against a ruler-level creature!

"I'm afraid Qianxun..." Wangyue Mingjian's lips twitched violently.

He never expected things to turn out this way!

If Qianxun had been chosen to play, they should have won without any surprise!
But the result?

In less than half a minute, Lu Ran summoned the phantom of Lei Si, intending to defeat Wang Yue Qian Xun and the others in one blow!

"I wonder if Qianxun's Water Splendor Sky Curtain can stop Lu Ran," Fujifang Xinzi said nervously.

The moment she spoke, the Thunder God in the sky moved!

Lei Si brandished his lightning, and a massive spear of thunder, formed from lightning, was hurled by him!

The move looks simple, but its power is unparalleled, descending with terrifying force!

The azure sky summoned by Mochizuki Chika was struck by the thunderous thunder of the Thor's Spear.

With a 'crack', it suddenly shattered into countless dense fragments of water!

Lightning surged, obliterating everything!
Lu Ran held back. The power of Thor's Spear, even just the electric wires it carried, turned all the members of the Japanese National Pavilion into mutes, directly rendering them unable to fight!

Wangyue Mingjian and the others, who had been worried about the safety of the students, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Lu Ran held back!

Otherwise, with the power of this thunder, these students with only mid-level cultivation would probably lose their lives in an instant!

On stage, Mochizuki Chika was equally disheveled and in no good condition.

Even though Lu Ran stopped, the power of that lightning bolt was still terrifying!
A national team coach lost to the captain of the national team?
What a joke!
If you had told her this before the fight started, she would have absolutely disdained and disbelieved it!

but now.
The sparring began, and she didn't even have a chance to unleash her plant-based magic!
This is the difference in strength.

Lu Ran not only defeated her in terms of soul seed, but also in cultivation level!
Lu Ran landed, the lightning in his hand transforming into a spear. He arrived before Wang Yue Qianxun, pointed it at her—the only one still conscious—and said:
"Are you convinced?"

Mochizuki Chika's beautiful eyes dimmed, and a struggle flashed across her face, but she finally nodded.

A clear voice rang in everyone's ears:

"I lost."
