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

Chapter 99: Are You Just a Turtle Shell? Discussing the Imperial Capital
Lu Ran's gaze fell on the students of Mingzhu Academy and he pointed at two of them.

"Slave, Bai Tingting."

As expected, Mu Nujiao stood up neatly and stood beside Lu Ran, enjoying the inquiring gazes of the surrounding college students.

Bai Tingting was a little surprised. She didn't expect Lu Ran to choose her!
After all, everyone in Mingzhu Academy wants to play, and the opportunity is rare.

I guess it's because of my attentiveness these days that Lu Ran got to know me.

Thinking of this, Bai Tingting also came to Lu Ran tremblingly.

The two beauties and Lu Ran stood together, and instantly caused another burst of wailing.

"Holy crap, is this a beauty pageant at Mingzhu Academy? The men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and their looks alone outshine those from Imperial Capital Academy."

"On the other hand, the Imperial Capital Academy looks just like a group of people, equally ordinary!"

These taunts made the students at the Imperial Capital Academy, who knew they were not very good-looking, instantly unable to sit still.

Xu Dalong curled his lips and said, "Tsk, what's the point of being handsome? The real thing has to be shown on the field!"

Qingqing rolled her eyes and said, "Not only are you not as handsome as Lu Ran, you can't even beat him."

Xu Dalong: "Tu(艹皿艹)!"

Lu Zhenghe said in a muffled voice, "The girl next to Lu Ran seems to be Mu Nujiao. She has a prominent background and is quite powerful."

"The other one seems to be majoring in healing? Tsk."

"Zhao Manyan, come too."

Lu Ran looked around and originally wanted to ask Mo Fan to come on stage.

After all, they were all from the Qingtian Hunting Grounds. Before coming here, Lingling had asked him to take good care of Mo Fan, the "younger generation".

But I didn't see Mo Fan at all. I guess he was late.

Then, Lu Ran pointed at a blond man and said so.

In the corner, Zhao Manyan was waiting for the late Mo Fan, but he was surprised to be called up.

You know, with Lu Ran on the field, there is an 80% chance that Mingzhu Academy will be able to crush and defeat Imperial Capital Academy!
As for the students who competed with Lu Ran, they won without any effort and benefited from it!

They don't need to put in any effort at all, just stand there and shout "666".

Zhao Manyan quickly rushed forward and stood beside Lu Ran.

Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao and others gritted their teeth in envy.

Naturally, they also wanted to have the opportunity to compete against the Imperial Capital Academy.

But unfortunately, the teacher in charge gave the full right of choice to Lu Ran!
Their relationship with Lu Ran is average, and they are still hostile to each other during the main campus assessment. It is impossible for Lu Ran to choose them.

At this moment, he could only secretly envy Zhao Manyan, Bai Tingting and others for being in the spotlight.

Lu Ran looked at Zhao Manyan and said with a smile, "Hey, Zhao Manyan, your cultivation has improved quite a bit since the Beast Fighting Competition."

Zhao Manyan was surprised. He hadn't expected Lu Ran to remember this, so he said in a familiar manner:

"Brother Ran, you can just call me Lao Zhao. My cultivation level is not good enough to show off in front of you!"

Lu Ran shook his head and laughed: "Your defensive magic is the same as the tortoise shell, of course I remember it."

On the side, Mu Nujiao and Bai Tingting heard this and laughed secretly with their hands covering their mouths.

They also gradually remembered that Zhao Manyan's performance in the Beast Fighting Competition seemed to have blocked Lu Ran's mid-level water magic?
The whole body is covered with defensive magic and magic weapons, so calling it a turtle shell is quite appropriate, right?

Zhao Manyan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this.

If someone else had said that to him, he would probably have gotten into a fight. But since it was Lu Ran who said it, Zhao Manyan could only say:
Ran, your summary is really insightful!
If such a tough guy can remember it, then it’s just a tortoise shell, and it seems to sound good too?

The Pearl Academy was not afraid of too much trouble. When they saw Lu Ran coming on the court, they even cheered for the Imperial Capital Academy on the opposite side, hoping that they could hold on a little longer.

At the Imperial Capital Academy, people were stunned by the thunderous cheers of encouragement.

Is this a fucking taunt? It has to be!

"These guys, instead of cheering for their own team, they cheer for us. Are they crazy?"

"Haha, haven't you figured it out yet? They're mocking us!!"

Everyone in the Imperial Capital Academy's faces darkened.

Once upon a time, whenever Mingzhu met the imperial capital, it would be crushed.

How come the world has changed in their generation?
The competition began and contestants from both sides came on stage.

Zhao Manyan immediately circled a piece of land for himself and sat cross-legged on the spot.

Bai Tingting asked in confusion, "Zhao Manyan, what are you doing?"

Zhao Manyan shrugged and said, "What for? Of course I'm looking for the best seat to watch the show. You don't think we'll have a chance to make a move with Brother Ran here, do you?"

"Brother Ran asked us to come up so that we can show our faces, increase our fame, and add a record of defeating the Imperial Capital Academy to our resume. This is already very considerate of us."

Bai Tingting was stunned, thinking of the night of the assessment at the main campus, when Lu Ran summoned hundreds of undead to help in the battle.

That scene is creepy just thinking about it.

Bai Tingting seemed to be thinking about something, then suddenly smiled and said:

"It seems like we're really not needed. Well, then we'll just cheer them on from the back!"

Mu Nujiao shook her head helplessly and said with a smile, "Actually, if you really want to have a good fight with those people from the Imperial Capital Academy, Lu Ran will satisfy you."

"Anyway, with Lu Ran here, we won't lose."

Zhao Manyan quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it. Lu Ran is the only one who can control the Imperial Capital Academy. Honestly, the rest of us can't compare to the Imperial Capital."

He still has some self-awareness and knows that his strength is not enough.

The referee could only stare blankly at Zhao Manyan who was so careless.

What to do?

He seems to be playing passively!

But I can't do anything about him!
In the end, the referee had no choice but to follow the wishes of Mingzhu Academy.

The rules of the competition were then read out, the most important of which was that no magical tools or weapons could be used!
This rule was originally used to restrict the imperial capital's academy.

After all, the students of the Imperial Capital Academy are basically all second-generation, and they have a lot of magic tools and weapons on them.

If it can be used in a sparring match, then it means that you have won the prize, so why would you fight?
But today, facing the Pearl Academy, it became a shackle that restricted them!

If they could use magic tools, they might be able to hold out for a few more minutes under Lu Ran's hands.

Otherwise, how could magic alone possibly fight against the hundreds of undead summoned by Lu Ran?!
Before the referee announced the start of the game, students from various universities watching the game noticed something was wrong.

Why is it that at Mingzhu Academy, except for Lu Ran standing at the front, the other three are standing at the edge of the corner, and the blond man Zhao Manyan simply sits down!

This feeling of relaxation made people stunned!
Are you still here to play the game?
On the other hand, the four people on the Imperial Capital Academy side were all facing a formidable enemy, adopting a one-two-one formation, staring at Lu Ran with a fierce look.

"This guy is so arrogant that even the captain doesn't dare to challenge the four of us alone!" Xu Dalong said viciously.
