170: The Eagle Sauce finally behaved!

Chapter 170: John Bull Finally Behaves!

Lu Ran just teased a bit and didn't delve further into Nanasheng's issue.

He looked ahead and said, "The main city is just up ahead. Let's go."

Instead, Nanasheng followed behind Lu Ran.

After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly asked, "If you want to evolve the Koi Spirit, what would you do? Would you… would you attack Sakura?"

Lu Ran looked back at her.

He said, "Nonsense, what else?"

Nanasheng's heart trembled. She gritted her teeth but said nothing more.

She could barely protect herself now, so how could she manage Sakura?

Moreover, even if she wanted to, she didn't have the ability.

In this world, with Lu Ran's power, he could kill anyone he wanted!

To put it bluntly, even.

If Lu Ran wanted a certain country to disappear from the world, that country could only obediently disappear, with no way out!

At the same time.

In the John Bull Guild meeting hall.

The sky had fallen!

All the Big Leaders of Congress gathered in the meeting hall.

The atmosphere in the entire meeting hall was terrifyingly oppressive!

After a long time.

The Big Leader finally asked, his voice a little dry, "So, Neil is dead? All those people he brought, are they all dead?"

Someone immediately said, "I was responsible for monitoring Neil and the others' status on the communication list. Just now, their names all turned gray."

The Big Leader subconsciously asked hopefully, "But it's also possible they all went invisible, right?"

But do you even believe those words yourself?

Moreover.

Before departure, to avoid any intelligence errors.

Neil had also said that they would not set their communicators to invisible. If their names turned gray on the communicator list, there was only one possibility.

That was, they were dead!

The Big Leader also realized this. His mouth twitched, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

After a long silence.

Another Big Leader asked, "What exactly happened? How did they just infiltrate Dragon Xia and then all die? According to the time, they should still be within the Kunlun Death Valley, right? In Kunlun Death Valley, has the War Flag National Protection Army also set up border guards? Impossible, right? Dragon Xia is so vast, the War Flag National Protection Army can't be everywhere, and even if there were defenses, the defensive power wouldn't be very strong, not enough to suppress and kill Neil and the others, and it's impossible for no one to escape!"

That was true, what he said.

But the facts were before them.

"Neil was the first to die, likely suppressed and killed by the opponent with overwhelming force. After that, the other members began to die one after another, at an extremely fast rate. The people who killed Neil are incredibly powerful!" someone said.

The meeting hall once again fell into an awkward silence.

After another while.

Someone cautiously asked, "Given this situation, what should we do? After repeated clashes with Dragon Xia, we've lost far too many high-level professional players. Now, on the Global level rankings, there's no longer a place for us John Bull. How... how are we supposed to deal with the National War?"

Hearing this, everyone sighed again.

Who the hell knew!

"Forget it, the number of high-level professional players is already small, and the first echelon is all dead. The National War is imminent, so focus on leveling up and preparing for the National War. As for the rest, let fate decide," the Big Leader finally said.

They finally abandoned the plan to continue assassinating the Dragon Xia Undead Mage, just as the National War was approaching.

Lastly.

The Big Leader did not forget to add, "Everyone, don't be discouraged. No matter how powerful that Undead Mage is, his power is only individual combat power. During the National War, with millions of troops clashing, individual combat power doesn't have a huge impact. When the time comes, find an opportunity to focus fire and kill that Undead Mage. Our situation is not particularly bad."

This wasn't bad?

How many high-level professional players had Dragon Xia killed of theirs!

John Bull as a whole was severely weakened!

They were probably even worse off than Sakura!

Even the silent development of countries like Mao Xiong and John Bull had passively risen due to John Bull's failures.

Their situation was definitely not 'not particularly bad' as the Big Leader claimed, but very bad!

As for the other side.

Lu Ran and the others quickly returned to Black Fire City. They wouldn't be grinding monsters or running dungeons today.

Anyway, with so little time, they wouldn't make much progress.

So they just gave up.

Early the next morning.

Lu Ran went to the academy after a long time. It had been a while since he had been there. Along the way, many classmates greeted Lu Ran, and he responded to each of them.

As he approached the school gate, he saw a beautiful figure standing gracefully in the shade of a tree by the entrance, looking around.

Qin Wuyao!

"Yaoyao, long time no see. How have you been recently?" Lu Ran greeted her with a smile.

"Of course I'm good, I'm a hidden class!" Qin Wuyao proudly shook her head.

Seeing Lu Ran, the happiness in Qin Wuyao's eyes was undisguised, and her entire face was a sweet smile.

Lu Ran glanced inside the academy gate.

Then he said, "The Hundred Cities League, I heard the seniors talk about it briefly back then. I never thought that I would be the one participating in this year's Hundred Cities League."

Qin Wuyao said, "Besides you, many others have signed up, but it's useless. In the end, it will definitely be you. No matter how many others sign up, it's futile."

Lu Ran looked at Qin Wuyao with amusement.

He asked, "What about you? Did you sign up?"

Qin Wuyao rolled her eyes at Lu Ran and said, "With you around, I'm too lazy to even sign up. However, those few who signed up at school aren't convinced by you. They might even target you today, so you'd better bear with it. Don't cause any deaths at school."

Of course, Lu Ran wasn't stupid.

Killing fellow students at this critical juncture, wasn't that just crazy?

But Lu Ran was also very confused.

He asked, "My current level should be far ahead on the level rankings, right? Are there still people competing with me for a spot?"

Qin Wuyao said matter-of-factly, "Nonsense, no matter how high your level is, it only means you found the right way to level up, and someone is fully supporting you in leveling up. But in the end, in their minds, you are just an Undead Mage, just a regular class. High level doesn't mean anything. You also know that among professional players, especially novice professional players, level is secondary, and class is the most important."

Lu Ran nodded and said, "That's true."

Lu Ran didn't arrive particularly early.

When he and Qin Wuyao arrived at the sports field, many students had already gathered there.

Seeing Lu Ran approach, he immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Especially a few rare classes among the top few on the level rankings, who looked at Lu Ran with not only hostility but also intense jealousy!

"Lu Ran, I heard you also signed up for a spot in the Hundred Cities League. Do you think you're qualified to represent Blackfire Academy and go to the Imperial Capital to participate in the competition?" one of the buzz-cut guys shouted, asking.

His tone was strange, with a teasing undertone.

Lu Ran glanced at the other party and said, "Yes, I am qualified, and it will definitely be me."

The other party was stunned, not expecting Lu Ran to be so confident.

He then added, "To get a spot, you need to become a provisional member of a guild. I'm already a provisional member of Overlord Unparalleled, what about you?"

The other few immediately added:

"I'm a provisional member of Chaotic Heroes."

"I'm a provisional member of the Killing Elegance Family."

"I'm a provisional member of Rise of the Wind and Clouds."

...

Lu Ran was astonished to hear this. What kind of strange guilds were these?

If he remembered correctly, he should be a provisional member of the Tiandao Alliance, Red Cloak Tower, War Flag National Protection Army, and Mirror Flower Water Moon guilds!

At this moment.

Qin Wuyao teased from the side, "You're all so curious about which guild Lu Ran is a provisional member of? Won't you find out when it's announced later? If I were you, I wouldn't be embarrassed to show off your crappy guilds. It's so embarrassing."
