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

Chapter 235 Personnel Replacement, You Think You Can Frame Me?

Lu Ran's gaze swept over Zhao Manyan, Mu Tingying, and Li Kaifeng.

The three men trembled instantly, each with their own distinct feelings.

The latter two had no connection with Lu Ran, and Mu Tingying's family had even offended Lu Ran.

But Old Zhao also had something to say. Of the three, he had little offensive ability and could only serve as a meat shield. He killed the fewest sea monsters during this sea battlefield training mission.
Although he and Ran were on good terms, their professor from the National Academy was still there.

With Lu Ran's command, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"The results of everyone's training over the past few days are obvious to all. Even the substitute players have been just as dedicated."

“Mentor, all three of them have broken through to the advanced level of cultivation. In my opinion, there is no need to replace the list, right?”

The three of them were deeply moved by Lu Ran's words!
With the Nationalist government captain speaking up for them, things are in good shape!
Previous captains of the National Team may not have had such a high profile and were not qualified to interfere with the replacement of team members, but this year it's Lu Ran!

He had just solved the international problem of the Drowning Curse, so even Feng Li and others couldn't refuse him.

Sure enough, Feng Li said very kindly and politely, "Since everyone has broken through to the advanced level and performed well in the National Government training, then the personnel list will not be changed for this training trip to Japan!"

"As for the substitutes, are there any players who can replace the starters?"

Feng Li's words sent a chill down Zu Jiming's spine.

He felt that Feng Li was saying this to him!

Among the regular team members, he had the lowest cultivation level and his performance on the naval battlefield was also average.

Feng Li turned his gaze to Lu Ran, who also seemed to be deep in thought, his eyes falling on Zu Jiming.

He vaguely remembered that the person standing behind this person seemed to be the speaker's secretary.

Thinking of the arrogant and domineering attitude of the speaker's secretary in the original work, Lu Ran felt very displeased.

He glanced at Feng Li and nodded.

In the distance, Zujimin was dumbfounded, frozen in place.

He suddenly regretted not being like Zhao Manyan and Li Kaifeng, who fawned over Lu Ran as soon as they joined the National Team.
The next moment, Feng Li's slightly cold voice rang out:

"After discussion among the mentors, Zu Jiming, your official member position will be filled by Zhao Manyan!"

"In this naval battle, Zhao Manyan, who specializes in defensive magic, cooperated skillfully with Mo Fan, while you, who specializes in poison magic, performed only so-so."

"Of course, if you are dissatisfied, you can submit an application. Captain Lu Ran of the National Government will not show favoritism to anyone."

Zujimin's skin has turned black.

Revolt?

How can it be? !
Everyone knows that Zhao Manyan and Lu Ran have a good relationship, and what Feng Li said is indeed true.
The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

Previously, Zhao Manyan only thought that being able to stay in the National Team would be a success, but now he has actually made it to the position of a regular player!

A perfect start!

By clinging to Ran-ge's coattails, even the Nationalist government can be expedited!
Zhao Manyan has a carefree personality, and many members of the National Team have a good relationship with him, all of whom offered their congratulations.

"Old Zhao, not bad, you made good use of those three portions of Star River Vein!" Mo Fan said with a sly smile.

"Hey, if those old guys knew I'd become a regular member, do you believe they'd send me another Star River Vein without a second thought, so my second system could break through to the advanced level as soon as possible?" Zhao Manyan shrugged and laughed.

Old Zhao's carefree words immediately drew a burst of laughter.

Li Kaifeng looked embarrassed, but since he still wanted to stay in the National Team, he had no choice but to offer his congratulations.

Lu Ran took it all in. When someone rises to power, someone else must fall; that's normal.

However, the only one who can control the fate of these prodigies of the National Team is Lu Ran, the captain of the National Team.

Within certain rules, he can appoint whomever he wants and dismiss whomever he wants.

As for why Feng Li didn't choose to let Mu Tingying take the position, it's clear that Mu Tingying performed better in the training thanks to her ice magic tools.

But you should know that the Mu family has offended Lu Ran!

Not telling Mu Tingying to leave is already considered a mercy.

Mu Tingying clearly knew this as well, and Zhao Manyan's rise to power made her even more aware of it.

If you want to stand out in the National Team, you have to get past Lu Ran first.

But how can I get closer to Lu Ran?

Mu Tingying subconsciously looked at Jiang Shaoxu.
After the challenges at the National Pavilion and the National Government in Tokyo, the next stop is Australia, followed by Peru.

Australia's overall strength is the weakest among the five continental magic associations, and its resources are far inferior to those of other powerful nations.

Therefore, the overall strength of the students guarding the temple here is actually quite average.

It's the kind of place where even the guardian of the Japanese National Pavilion could easily sweep through.

Otherwise, why was the Australian national team not seen in the final match in Venice?

The training mission in Australia was equally simple. After utilizing the resources there, the group quickened their pace and headed to their next stop, Peru.

Peru in South America is also a country with only average overall strength.

Nan Jue, Ai Jiangtu, and others obtained some intelligence about the strength of the Peruvian National Pavilion through the military mages stationed there.

They are also opponents that need not be worried about; the Kyushu National Team can easily defeat them by picking just a few people.

But for Lu Ran, Peru was a treasure trove he couldn't resist taking in!

That's right, it's the Liquid of Time and the Eye of Time!
In the original story, after the Nationalist team entered the Nazca Lines, they were attacked by strange birds, and their numbers kept increasing, making them impossible to kill.

The truth behind this is a chaotic magic system.
To copy a single entity to thousands or even tens of thousands!
Peru has so many secrets, how could Lu Ran let them go so easily now that he's here?
The next day.

The National Government team split into two groups.

The others went to attack the Peruvian pavilion and took down the Peruvian national emblem.

Lu Ran, on the other hand, went alone and headed straight for the nearby Nazca Lines!
He alone is an army.

The rest of the Nationalist team were not worried about Lu Ran's safety at all, even if the demons encountered him.

Then they should beg for the demons, right? Maybe Lu Ran will take pity on them and give the demons a dignified death.
Upon entering the Nazca Lines area, the temperature was unusually high, so Lu Ran quickened his pace, and soon a dark-skinned Peruvian man came to greet him.

"Young man, don't wander into this place recklessly, or you'll be stopped by death and die a terrible death," the Peruvian man said, before his eyes glazed over and he froze in place.

Lu Ran's eyes shone with a light from his soul, which stunned him!
This person's inner thoughts told Lu Ran that he had no good intentions.

Lu Ran instantly realized that this person was probably the beast who stole the Nazca Lines gems and then framed the National Team.

Then Lu Ran decisively used his mental power.

In the end, it really was him!
Now that we've met, we can't let this opportunity pass us by.
