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

Chapter 277 Domestic Public Opinion, Asha's Plea for Help
The match between Kyushu and Greece had just ended, and the domestic media storm immediately returned to its peak!

Originally, the pressure from public opinion had eased considerably after Kyushu defeated Germany.

But this loss directly guarantees a spot in the quarterfinals!
More importantly, someone has provided a detailed account of the inside story of Lu Ran and others leaving the National Team, complete with audio recordings!

Lu Ran, Mu Ningxue, and others, as great heroes of the ancient capital, are still just students, but their influence is considerable!

Moreover, Lu Ran himself serves as an honorary councilor in several localities.

This immediately exposed the Zu, Lu, and Mu families, among others, and the news that they wanted to promote their own people spread like wildfire.

The audio is available, it's solid proof!

At this moment, these major clans are caught in a storm of public opinion. Even Shao Zheng and others have been affected. His inaction is also a reason for the public to criticize him.

Not long after, Asha'ruya came to her door.

"Lu Ran, I've avenged you. How do you plan to thank me?" Asha Ruya stretched out her alluring figure and tempted him.

This made Lu Ran laugh.

He pushed Asha'ruya against the wall, leaned close to her earlobe, and chuckled:

"Holy Maiden, shouldn't you be thanking me?"

A blush crossed Asha's face.

Lu Ran's eyes flashed as he pulled Asha Ruya's slender waist close and kissed her rosy lips.

"Hmm~"

Asha's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief!
She never expected that Lu Ran would take liberties with her like that!
He was given opportunities before, and she tempted him in every way, but he remained unmoved. Why is he like this today?
Could it be that Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao are not enough to satisfy him?
These thoughts flashed through Lu Ran's mind, and he had already taken another step forward.

Remove the armor! Remove the armor!

Asha panicked, clutching her bra and pleading, "No, don't take this off."

"I have a match in a couple of days. You can't expect me to fight tooth and nail, can you? Waaah~"

Asharuya acted like a demure young woman.

It wasn't that she didn't want to resist, but that she realized she couldn't!

Her trump card, which she was so proud of, was completely ineffective against Lu Ran. It was terrifying!

In fact, after learning about the existence of the Pharaoh's Source, she had a way to defeat the Egyptian team's undead tactics.

As long as she reveals her trump card, she is a fallen angel. Even if she only reveals a little bit, she can disarm the Pharaoh's Source!
But there were risks involved, and she felt it wasn't worth it.

After kissing him a few times and satisfying his craving, Lu Ran laughed and said:
"You're not going to run away this time?"

Asha's smile was awkward, and she blinked: "I am, after all, the saintess of Parthenon. Last time, my reason for not fighting against Egypt was somewhat justifiable, but now there is no reason."

"So, think it over carefully, is there any other way to deal with that Pharaoh's Source?" Asha's fingertips gently caressed Lu Ran's chest, her face flushed with seductive allure.

"I remember you were quite skilled in necromancy~"

Lu Ran raised an eyebrow, pinched Asha's pointed chin, paused, and said, "There is a way, of course!"

"But you already owe me a favor, and now you're asking me for a solution. What can you possibly offer me?"

He certainly had a way to deal with the Pharaoh's source.

But the prerequisite is that Asha'sia can offer something worthwhile for him to do so!
Asha's eyes sparkled, her gaze radiant.

If she can find a way to solve the problem of the Pharaoh's Source, she has a very high chance of winning the championship!

If she can win the championship, her reputation will soar once again.
Asha'ruya moved closer to Lu Ran and said softly, "What do you want? Anything I have." You have it?
Lu Ran glanced at Asha's delicate body.

This terrified Asha, who thought he really wanted to eat her, and her heart started pounding.

Should I say yes or no?

Is he someone I can entrust my life to?
The next moment, Lu Ran thought for a moment and said, "I remember now, I really am missing something. You should be able to get the Awakening Stone for a Super-Order Mage to awaken, right? Hmm. And the Star Sea Celestial Vein."

Asha'ruya was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "I can get them, but you want both a Super-Rank Awakening Stone and a Star Sea Celestial Vein. Are you planning to break through to the Super-Rank?"

"Preparing to break through to the Super-Order? I've been doing that for a long time!"

Lu Ran smiled faintly, revealing his super-level aura!

This shocked Asha's eyes widened!

Such a young super-level mage.
"Now that you've already broken through to the Transcendent level, why do you still need the Star Sea Heavenly Vein in such a short time?" Asha Ruya narrowed her beautiful eyes, revealing a dangerous smile: "Could it be that you want it for Mu Ningxue?"

Lu Ran rolled his eyes: "Ning Xue still has a long way to go before she can break through to the Super Rank."

"This Star Sea Celestial Vein is naturally mine to use!"

After Lu Ran finished speaking, Asha Ruya fell silent.

"You mean, you just broke through to the Transcendent level in your main magic-based cultivation, and you're planning to have your secondary cultivation also break through to the Transcendent level?"

Does Lu Ran have a distinction between major and minor cultivation?
"What's the point of knowing so much? Who are you to me?" Lu Ran slapped Asha's round, plump buttocks hard and scolded her.

"The sooner the better, I really want to undergo super-level awakening."

Of the four super-tier elements, only Lightning and Shadow remain at the high-tier level three, which is the Star River state.

The Star Sea Celestial Vein that was requested was naturally intended to prepare for breaking through the Thunder and Shadow Star River.

“You can speed it up, but it will cost more money, since you’ll have to make arrangements everywhere.” Asha Ruya shrugged, not because she wanted to badmouth Lu Ran.

Instead, the Super-Awakening Stones are strictly controlled by the Magic Association, and the Star Sea Celestial Vein is extremely rare and expensive.

Even with her status and connections, she would still need to spend money to bribe officials if she wanted to get her hands on it as soon as possible.

Lu Ran was naturally aware of this.

He didn't seem to care much, and said arrogantly, "Money is not a problem, just pay attention."

"What about the guiding stone? What kind of guiding stone do you want? I can get you the highest quality magic-type guiding stone," Asha'ruya said with a smile.

Guiding stone?
This time, Lu Ran doesn't plan to use his super-level magic awakening.

There are no useless magic systems, only useless mages!
Just leave everything to fate!
"If you want to meet Egypt again, you'll have to wait until the finals. Are you confident you can beat Britain and the United States? They will definitely join forces to eliminate Greece first," Lu Ran said calmly.

Asharuya squeezed her fair wrist and smiled confidently, "Don't worry, America will join forces with us first to eliminate Britain."

Lu Ran thought to himself, "It seems that Asha Ruya had already planned this all along."

"Okay, then congratulations in advance on winning the championship."

Azharia blinked: "You still haven't told me how to deal with the Pharaoh's Source."

"That's simple. Just collect the Pharaoh's Source. You'll need a high-quality undead vessel, and the vessel must be special."

Asha's eyes rolled: "Where am I supposed to find that?"
