241: Invitation from Tianfu Society

Chapter 241: Invitation from the Tianfu Association

Evolving the Koi Spirit was not a particularly urgent matter for Lu Ran.

But if he had free time, and could reach Level 60 before the National War, he might give it a try.

“Then let’s leave it at that for now. We’ll return to the Imperial Capital first and use the teleportation array to go to the Tian Chui Territory,” Liu Xinxin mused.

The extraterrestrial stars Lu Ran wanted were in the Luan Region, an undeveloped area beyond the Tian Chui Territory.

The Tian Chui Territory was actually the name of a main city.

It was one of the rare Level 1 main cities, comparable in scale to the Imperial Capital, immense!

Everyone returned to the Imperial Capital.

When passing by the Tiandao Alliance Headquarters,

Yu Qingcang was going back and wouldn't be following Lu Ran and the others.

With the National War approaching, as the president of the Tiandao Alliance, Yu Qingcang had far more tasks and arrangements than Lei Tai, Liu Xinxin, and Ye Hongyi, the other three guild presidents.

Naturally, he couldn't follow Lu Ran.

Of course, these were all routine arrangements; the configuration of professional players participating in the National War was actually no longer important.

Because with Lu Ran present, during the National War, among Dragon Xia’s participating professional players, apart from Lu Ran, the other professional players were essentially just spectators, hangers-on, dispensable.

But right at the entrance of the Tiandao Alliance Headquarters,

A group of people stopped Yu Qingcang and his companions.

The leader was a middle-aged woman, very polite, accompanied by other young people, who were all professional players.

Moreover, some of them were new professional players, while others were old professional players.

But looking at the marks on their chests, and the almost unconcealable arrogance on their faces, it was clear they were very proud of their identities.

“Shen Man? What is the Tianfu Association doing at the Tiandao Alliance?” Yu Qingcang asked, feigning ignorance.

Even an idiot could figure out that the Tianfu Association coming at this critical juncture was for the purpose of recruiting Lu Ran as a member of the Tianfu Association.

Yu Qingcang had told Lu Ran before,

that after the Hundred Cities League concluded, he would recommend Lu Ran to join the Tianfu Association.

And before that, Lu Ran needed to prove that he indeed had the qualifications to join the Tianfu Association.

However, now the Tianfu Association had taken the initiative to come.

So, they still had to maintain some composure.

“Yu Qingcang, it’s a bit unkind that the Tiandao Alliance had such an excellent prospective member and didn’t report it to the Tianfu Association,” Shen Man said with a smile.

But it was clear that she and Yu Qingcang knew each other and were very familiar.

“Ah, you’re mistaken there. Lu Ran is not only a prospective member of the Tiandao Alliance, but also a prospective member of Mirror Flower Water Moon, Red Cloak Tower, and the War Flag National Protection Army. I alone cannot make the decision,” Yu Qingcang said, waving his hand.

Although Shen Man had already investigated this,

hearing Yu Qingcang say it again at this moment still felt somewhat incredible.

She turned to look at Lu Ran, and Ye Hongyi and the others standing beside Lu Ran.

Lu Ran was the first talent in Dragon Xia in so many years to be simultaneously recruited as a prospective member by all Four Great Guilds of Dragon Xia.

And he was only an Undead Mage.

However,

no one cared about Lu Ran’s profession anymore.

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Man spoke:

“Actually, during the Hundred Cities League, the Tianfu Association had already noticed Lu Ran.”

“I didn’t expect that the legendary Mysterious Necromancer was just a new professional player who had awakened his profession barely twenty days ago.”

“His performance in the Hundred Cities League was truly dazzling, instantly killing opponents all the way through, and finally forcefully defeating that Earth Immortal.”

“The Tianfu Association actually intended to come and talk to Lu Ran right after the Hundred Cities League.”

“Unfortunately, they didn’t make it in time before the monster siege began.”

…

What happened next was obvious.

The Tianfu Association might have originally determined that Lu Ran was qualified to enter the Tianfu Association based on his performance in the Hundred Cities League.

But the subsequent monster siege was what truly moved the Tianfu Association!

An unprecedented Level 6 difficulty monster siege, capable of slaughtering the city and making the Dragon Xia Imperial Capital disappear forever!

It was actually stopped, suppressed, and resolved by Lu Ran alone!

Hundreds of thousands of Undead Army, a Bone Storm covering dozens of kilometers around the entire Imperial Capital, and a Dark Elf Queen by his side who could instantly kill a Level 6 difficulty siege BOSS!

Combined, this was simply divine!

For such a person, let alone joining the Tianfu Association, even if Shen Man, as the president, had to step down, she would be willing!

“Lu Ran, would you like to come to the Tianfu Association for a visit? The Tianfu Association’s sincerity will surely not disappoint you,” Shen Man said earnestly.

Yu Qingcang and the others didn't interject, but looked at Lu Ran, letting him decide for himself.

But Lu Ran hesitated.

For Lu Ran, the Tianfu Association, which others considered a grand hall, actually held little significance.

Lu Ran disliked restrictions. If joining the Tianfu Association meant he needed to do something, it would be too troublesome, and he had no interest in joining at all!

At this moment,

Liu Xinxin suddenly leaned close to Lu Ran, seemingly seeing through his thoughts at a glance.

She said to Lu Ran: “The existence of the Tianfu Association is difficult for ordinary people to understand. You have a need to join the Tianfu Association; you will know when the time comes. Of course, if you truly don’t want to, we will respect your wishes. In this world, no one can force you to do something you don’t like.”

It was this remark from Liu Xinxin that made Lu Ran immediately agree.

He would go and sit down first.

See how things were.

Whether he joined or not, it didn't really matter.

It wasn't that Liu Xinxin truly persuaded Lu Ran, but rather what Liu Xinxin said: “In this world, no one can force you to do something you don’t like.” This sentence made Lu Ran come to his senses.

That's right.

With his current strength and abilities, there was truly no one in this world who could force Lu Ran to do something he disliked.

Even if he joined the Tianfu Association, Lu Ran would not be subject to any restrictions.

At worst, he could quit at any time!

Even if he didn't quit, what could the Tianfu Association do?

Shen Man gave Liu Xinxin a grateful look, then moved aside and said, “Then please, come in.”

“Go,” Liu Xinxin gave Lu Ran a reassuring look: “You’ve grown up. Many things you need to start deciding for yourself. Just follow your heart; you don’t need to worry about anything.”

It was rare for Liu Xinxin and the others not to follow Lu Ran.

Nanasheng also stayed behind, waiting at the Tiandao Alliance Headquarters.

The Koi Spirit was also left by Lu Ran with Nanasheng, to be temporarily taken care of.

But Si Luoluo followed Lu Ran.

Having Si Luoluo around made things much more convenient, especially when dealing with various BOSSes.

Lu Ran’s Blood Spear could instantly kill one, but then it needed to recharge.

To continue killing some high-level BOSSes, the Undead Army could do it, but it would take longer.

If Si Luoluo was there, she could directly assist with instant kills, and the efficiency was incredibly high!

Of course.

It had nothing to do with danger; for the current Lu Ran, danger no longer existed in this world.
