214: Peak Showdown

Chapter 214: Peak Showdown

Backstage, the drawing of lots was underway.

On stage.

All the Big Leaders had arrived, forming an unprecedentedly powerful leadership team, and the prizes were all ready.

They were just waiting for the champion to emerge.

Even the host seemed a bit nervous and flustered.

Being in front of these Big Leaders was far more nerve-wracking than being in front of the Four Great Guild Leaders.

Meanwhile, the Four Great Guild Leaders, after exchanging pleasantries with the leaders, began to speak.

Ye Hongyi said, “I’ve checked on that Earth Immortal. There’s indeed no professional information related to it. It’s a new profession. Being able to crush Cong Shuang makes it a good profession, but it’s a bit strange that their main city didn’t alarm the Imperial Capital or recommend them to the Four Great Guilds.”

Lei Tai, on the other hand, said indifferently, “Isn’t it just for showing off? They’re hoping to make a splash in the Hundred Cities League, and they’ve achieved that goal. They probably hope to maximize the showing-off effect after defeating Lu Ran, which would also attract the attention of the Four Great Guilds.”

Liu Xinxin mused, “I have that feeling, but it’s still a bit strange. Lu Ran needs to be careful.”

Yu Qingcang was stunned.

He said, “What’s there to be careful about? Lu Ran is immortal and can instantly kill people. Even if he dodges the Blood Spear, with infinite Corpse Explosion and the Undead Army, who can defeat Lu Ran? Are you counting on that Earth Immortal?”

Liu Xinxin said, “According to the competition rules, it’s not only considered a loss when health drops to a critical point; falling off the stage also counts.”

Upon hearing this.

Yu Qingcang cared even less, saying, “You’re worrying too much about Lu Ran. Have you forgotten? Lu Ran can fly! How could he possibly fall off the stage? Don’t worry, he won’t lose.”

Hearing this.

Liu Xinxin suddenly reacted, realizing, “You’re right, I was overthinking it. I almost forgot that Lu Ran can fly. It’s just that Lu Ran has too many abilities; sometimes I often forget.”

Speaking of which, Liu Xinxin herself felt a little embarrassed.

Meanwhile, backstage.

Lu Ran glanced at his arena; it was Arena No. 2, but his opponent was not Zhang Zheng.

Instead, it was a girl named Shen Manman, whose profession was Exorcist.

Exorcist is also a hidden profession, but it’s rare in Dragon Xia and still very powerful. Lu Ran had previously encountered an Exorcist from Eagle Nation when he was in the Southern Border.

However, Lu Ran was too busy suppressing large areas at the time and didn’t really experience the Exorcist’s abilities.

So today, Lu Ran was quite looking forward to it.

He even wanted to see the Exorcist’s capabilities first.

On the other side, Zhang Zheng, upon seeing his matched opponent, was a bit disappointed but then relaxed his brows and said, “Lu Ran’s luck is indeed good. It seems my chance has come. In the championship battle, I will make a name for myself!”

Soon, the competition began.

The four entered the arena.

As Lu Ran and Zhang Zheng passed each other, Zhang Zheng intentionally or unintentionally tried to provoke Lu Ran.

But Lu Ran couldn't be bothered with him and just walked out on his own.

Zhang Zheng tried to get closer to continue talking, but Su Ting blocked him in the middle.

“Dare to utter another word, and after the match, I’ll play with you. I hope you can handle it,” Su Ting said coldly.

Zhang Zheng’s expression instantly froze.

He still didn't dare to look down on Su Ting.

Back then, Su Ting of the Imperial Capital’s Tianfu Association had a reputation no less than that of the current Cong Shuang!

Moreover.

After a year of growth and training and armament by the Tiandao Alliance, it would be effortless for Su Ting to kill him!

Seeing Zhang Zheng shut up, Su Ting snorted coldly and followed Lu Ran’s footsteps.

Only Zhang Zheng was left behind, gritting his teeth and staring at Lu Ran’s back.

Poor Zhang Zheng’s opponent was probably going to be a punching bag.

Outside, beyond the arena, all eyes were on them!

The moment the four appeared, the entire venue erupted!

“Lu Ran, look here, look here!”

“Ahhhhh! Lu Ran is out, Lu Ran, I love you!”

“Wuwuwu, Lu Ran is on Arena No. 2. Sure enough, I guessed right, we are fated.”

“Lu Ran’s championship battle is about to begin, all monsters and snake gods, clear the way!”

…

Of course, there were also shouts for others, and quite a few insulting Lu Ran.

Unfortunately.

They were directly overwhelmed by Lu Ran’s crazy female fans, unable to make any waves at all.

Under the watchful eyes of all, these two arenas, the semifinals, a peak showdown!

All the spectators, major powers, families, as well as the leaders on stage, and the Four Great Guild Leaders, were all closely watching!

Especially Lu Ran’s arena, which attracted almost everyone’s attention.

Zhang Zheng, who had gained some popularity, had no support rate, and was not even mentioned; all the glory was on Lu Ran.

This made Zhang Zheng’s expression look even more distorted!

He felt extremely unbalanced inside, and his chest was heaving violently.

Lu Ran ignored Zhang Zheng.

Instead, Su Ting glanced at him, shook her head, and murmured, “His temperament is too far behind Lu Ran’s.”

Across from Lu Ran.

Was a long-haired girl with watery big eyes, a tall figure, and a beautiful face. She was a mature-looking beauty, though slightly immature due to her young age.

And she seemed a bit shy, just smiling foolishly as she looked at Lu Ran.

They still had to wait a few minutes before the match began.

Shen Manman took the initiative to speak, “Lu Ran, I… my name is Shen Manman, and I’m your fan.”

Ah?

Lu Ran was stunned.

How did even the contestants become fans?

“Uh… hello,” Lu Ran didn’t quite know how to respond.

Instead, Shen Manman smiled.

She said, “I’m already very satisfied to have made it this far. In my heart, you are the champion. That Zhang Zheng cannot be your opponent.”

Lu Ran looked at Shen Manman in astonishment.

He thought to himself.

You are my opponent. If I don’t defeat you, how can I pursue the championship?

If I’m already the champion in your heart, then what about you?

Soon.

Lu Ran’s guess was confirmed.

The moment the host announced the start of the match, a familiar scene appeared.

Shen Manman voluntarily jumped off the stage, excitedly raising her fair fist at Lu Ran and saying, “Go for it!”

Oh, come on!

Lu Ran was speechless.

This was already the second opponent to concede after Su Xiaoyue.

The most anticipated battle of the entire event didn’t even happen; Lu Ran directly won.

Though it made sense, it was unexpected!

The host helplessly announced Lu Ran’s victory.

And now.

The only match left to watch was Zhang Zheng’s arena.

Lu Ran, having nothing to do, turned his head to look, and the match there had already begun.

Zhang Zheng’s opponent was a young man, a spellcasting hidden profession. Lu Ran didn’t pay attention to what his profession was.

But it didn’t matter; among spellcasting professions, Cong Shuang was almost the ceiling.

That young man was clearly inferior to Cong Shuang.

Under Zhang Zheng’s same fighting style, even if the opponent deliberately targeted Zhang Zheng’s skills to unleash and formulate tactical skill techniques.

He was still sealed by magic suppression.

Then… taken out in one wave.

Two arenas, two matches, one faster than the other!

The host announced the results again: Arena No. 1, Zhang Zheng won!

Now.

The final two contestants have been decided.

Earth Immortal Zhang Zheng VS Undead Mage Lu Ran.

After a half-hour break, the Hundred Cities League peak showdown is about to begin!
