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

Chapter 258 Overwhelming Victory, Why Would I Fear the Royal Family?

"The ghost lingers!"

Shao Hegu couldn't hold back any longer. He was, after all, the captain of the Japanese National Team, a leading figure among the younger generation in Japan, and a prodigy in the eyes of the Japanese students. Now, he was being chased by Lu Ran. This was intolerable!
"Rock Demon's Eye - Earth Dragon Spike!!!"

Shao Hegu's pupils turned brownish-brown, and a brown constellation was rapidly connected to them.

Shao Hegu stomped heavily on the ground, and the earth cracked open, with countless spiderweb-like fissures spreading in all directions.

Countless sharp earth spikes, like giant earth dragons, hurtled towards Lu Ran with overwhelming force!

"Not bad," Lu Ran praised sincerely.

The current captain of the Japanese National Team is quite capable.

Like Zhao Manyan, the earth mage in their team, who only uses defensive magic, he's a pure spinning top.

Shao Hegu's ability to utilize the earth element in such a powerful and destructive way is truly astonishing.

Seeing this, Lu Ran respectfully raised his arm and connected with the water constellation.

Just as everyone held their breath, and the earth dragon was about to touch Lu Ran, a deep black water curtain quickly appeared in front of him, blocking the earth dragon spike.

The earth dragon thorn was embedded in the watery sky curtain, but it could not pierce the watery sky curtain even slightly.

In an instant, the Earth Dragon Spike was enveloped in water element, and Lu Ran also unleashed his water-based domain.

"Water freezes into ice!"

The next moment, countless earth dragon spikes wrapped in water elements were transformed into dazzling ice spikes. After a silver bell sound in mid-air, they turned their spears and stabbed towards Shaohe Valley!
On the ground, Shao Hegu stared wide-eyed, shocked that his killing move had been so easily blocked by Lu Ran.

Even more unbelievable, Lu Ran actually turned his Earth Dragon Thorn into an Ice Thorn and attacked him in return.

Shao Hegu tried to dodge, but suddenly, a terrifying spatial pressure descended, slowing his movements considerably!
"Spatial rhythm—time lag!"

Mid-level spatial magic!
What incredible mental strength!

Shao Hegu was secretly in a bad mood. It was clearly just a mid-level spell, but he couldn't break free and could only watch helplessly as the ice spikes flew rapidly toward him.

Overwhelmed by the fear of death, Shao Hegu broke down and shouted:

"Stop! I surrender!!"

The ice spike aimed at Shao Hegu stopped just before he reached his cheek.

Then the referee, who had been watching the battlefield closely, quickly flew over and took Shao Hegu off the field.

Although there was no immediate danger to his life, Shao Hegu knew that Lu Ran had held back.

But at this moment, his face was extremely pale!

That's incredible! So incredibly powerful, it's breathtaking!

No wonder even Instructor Qianxun was no match for Lu Ran!
His strongest move, which had always been effective, was met with a setback today by Lu Ran and was easily countered.
Why did he have to face such a monster in the opening match?

As Shao Hegu was led away, Lu Ran looked elsewhere.

At this moment, Mu Ningxue was locked in a fierce battle with Ming Busong, the second-ranked player of the Japanese National Team, and Ming Busong was retreating steadily.

His prized Shadow element was rendered useless in the face of Mu Ningxue's Ice Domain.

His ability to conceal himself was completely undone under the absolute suppression of the ice.

After only a few moves, Mu Ningxue sent him off the stage.

In the other three places, the situation was almost completely crushed. Mu Nujiao lashed out at her opponents with plant vines, while Nan Jue and Jiang Shaoxu were also in the lead!
Seeing that Captain Shao Hegu and the second-in-command Ming Busong had both left, the remaining three also gave up and surrendered.

"Tsk, it's over already? It's only been a few minutes," Mu Nujiao said.

“Indeed, I haven’t finished warming up yet,” Nan Jue said. “There are still many matches ahead, you guys have time to fight,” Lu Ran laughed.

As the game was won easily, the entire stadium cheered!
Throughout Kyushu, cheers and jubilation resounded in the streets and alleys of every city.

Having watched the opening match of the Kyushu National Government team, the remaining thirty National Government teams only hope that they won't encounter the Kyushu National Government team before the Treasure Hunt Tournament!

"You played well today."

On the streets of Venice, Lu Ran said to Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue smoothed her hair and chuckled, "I'm still far behind you. You're too strong. Are you about to break through again?"

Lu Ran shrugged: "I'm almost at the high-level mastery stage, and I'm not far from breaking through to the super-level stage."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ningxue was surprised and wanted to say something, but suddenly the two people blocked her way.

Two burly men suddenly blocked Lu Ran and Mu Ningxue's way. One of them said arrogantly:
"Young lady, you're very lucky to have caught the eye of Prince Bambo of the Spanish royal family."

Mu Ningxue's face darkened. It had been a long time since she had encountered anyone trying to pick her up, and they were still just as annoying.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Didn't Prince Banbo watch the game today?"

The burly man paused for a moment, then honestly replied, "He just got off the plane and arrived in Venice."

Lu Ran smiled. Did he really think this group of guys were so audacious? It seems they didn't recognize him and Mu Ningxue.

We must teach his classmate a lesson he'll never forget.

At this moment, a well-dressed man with short, golden-brown hair stepped out from behind the two burly men.
'Snapped! '

Banbo tried to show off, but was slapped away by Lu Ran as soon as he showed his face.

Not only him, but the two burly men who were also acting as Banbo's guards were also sent flying.

The three of them collapsed to the ground, where several bloody teeth lay scattered about, their identities unknown.

But that gleaming gold tooth undoubtedly belongs to Banbo.

The Banbo man was stunned, his eyes wide open, glaring fiercely at Lu Ran, and roared:
"You, how dare you? I am the sole heir to the Spanish throne; even high-level mages treat me with utmost respect."

Before Banbo could finish speaking, Lu Ran used telekinesis to lift him up and throw him directly into the water, showing him no mercy whatsoever.

"The Spanish royal family? Is that all you're relying on?" Lu Ran sneered.

He isn’t even afraid of the Chamber of Deputies, so why would he be afraid of the Spanish royal family?

Banbo scrambled out of the water in a panic, feeling Lu Ran's coldness. With death looming, he finally panicked!

Could it be that he really dares to kill me?
Banbo dared not gamble, so he immediately bowed down and began to kowtow and admit his mistake.

The two burly guards standing nearby were dumbfounded; they had never seen the prince in such a disheveled state before.

But what can they do when they can't beat Lu Ran?
So the three of them started kowtowing together, the sound of their kowtowing rising and falling in waves.

"Let's go, it's boring." Mu Ningxue had no interest in watching the performance of these three clowns.

Lu Ran was too lazy to waste any more words with Ban Bo, and simply left a sentence:
"If you seek revenge, come find me. I am Lu Ran from Kyushu!"

Upon hearing this, Banbo's kowtowing slowed down, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Lu, Lu Ran?

Lu Ran from Kyushu killed the cardinal?
How could I have offended such a ruthless person?
"Slap, slap!" Banbo slapped himself several times.

“Eh, Prince Banbo, what does this mean?” A soft, mature woman’s voice rang in Banbo’s ear.
