192: Lava Venus

Chapter 192: Lava Great Eater Flower

The match hadn't even begun.

The clamor from the audience below was already rising and falling.

“Arena Twelve, Lu Ran is on Arena Twelve!”

“Good, that connections guy, let’s see how he fights this time!”

“His opponent is Cen Yu Nuo? She seems to be from Jialong City.”

“Yes, yes, Cen Yu Nuo, a provisional member of the Red Cloak Tower!”

“Tsk tsk tsk… with Cen Yu Nuo’s combat power, no matter how many connections that Undead Mage has, he’s finished this round.”

… …

The doubts remained.

On the stage.

The four presidents watched with ease.

“Did you hear that? The doubts are quite significant,” Yu Qingcang said with a tsk of wonder.

He had never seen such overwhelming doubts before.

“No matter, Lu Ran will prove his ability,” Liu Xinxin said with a smile.

“This is exciting! My younger brother will prove with his actions that all the doubts are just clownish acts!” Ye Hongyi was very excited.

“Why are you so happy? Lu Ran’s opponent seems to be a provisional member of your Red Cloak Tower,” Lei Tai asked casually.

“Oh, Cen Yu Nuo, I remember that girl. Her contracted Summoned Beast seems to be a Lava Great Eater Flower?” Ye Hongyi recalled.

For Ye Hongyi, a president, to remember her so clearly, Cen Yu Nuo’s ability was naturally unquestionable.

“She’s not bad, but unfortunately, she ran into Lu Ran. Consider it her bad luck,” Yu Qingcang said, shrugging his shoulders.

At the same time.

In the exclusive seating area below the stage.

The Cong Family had already taken their seats.

Cong Yu excitedly looked in the direction of Lu Ran’s arena, completely ignoring her older sister, Cong Shuang.

Even Cong Jixian couldn't help but glance towards Lu Ran’s Arena Twelve.

“Since it’s so close, I might as well take a look. This kid should have something,” Cong Jixian mused.

Ever since he learned about Lu Ran’s background.

Cong Jixian’s evaluation of Lu Ran had quickly become much more positive.

But it was just flattery. Cong Jixian still couldn't make a definitive judgment on his specific impression; he needed to continue watching Lu Ran’s combat process.

“I didn’t expect Lu Ran’s opponent to be Cen Yu Nuo,” Cong Yu said with some worry.

“Cen Yu Nuo from Jialong City, her reputation is not small. The Lava Great Eater Flower itself can provide Cen Yu Nuo with a lava shield, and it can bloom everywhere. The area of this arena is large enough to completely cover it. It’s both offensive and defensive, making it almost impossible for an Undead Mage to win,” Cong Jixian analyzed thoughtfully.

Connections and background are one thing.

This kind of battle was almost without suspense!

But then again.

In the first round, wasn’t Lu Ran’s battle with Wang Yan also without suspense?

Yet in the end, Lu Ran still won, and he was the first contestant to win among the fifty arenas!

Not long after.

“Match begins!” After the host’s usual opening pleasantries, he announced the start of the match!

Swish~

Barriers instantly rose around all the arenas.

This was to prevent the contestants’ skills from exceeding the barrier range and causing harm to the spectators.

But the contestants themselves were not hindered.

If they were supposed to be knocked down, they would still be knocked down.

This was also the only point where Lu Ran could possibly lose the match.

Lu Ran looked at his opponent immediately.

With a thought, he prepared Blood Spear!

Just as Cen Yu Nuo said, don’t hold back, go all out!

Cen Yu Nuo didn’t seem to realize the seriousness of the situation.

But because the story of Lu Ran quickly defeating his opponent in the first round had been exaggerated, she was extremely focused when facing the Undead Mage profession.

She first accelerated forward, rushing to the center of the entire arena.

The next second.

Crack~

A huge Great Eater Flower, over three meters tall, suddenly appeared behind Cen Yu Nuo.

Then it completely enveloped Cen Yu Nuo.

The Great Eater Flower’s lava-like petals wrapped around Cen Yu Nuo, forming a small lava fortress.

Starting with defense, she was quite serious.

Su Ting below the stage was startled when she saw this.

“Lava Great Eater Flower!” Su Ting exclaimed.

This thing was not easy to deal with!

No wonder she could participate in the Hundred Cities League as a Summoner; her ability was indeed outstanding!

Then.

Crack, crack, crack~

One Great Eater Flower after another began to emerge from beneath the arena’s stone slabs, blooming and densely covering the ground!

Spreading towards Lu Ran!

With this density and range, Lu Ran had nowhere to hide!

Of course.

The arena’s area was still quite large. Under normal circumstances, Cen Yu Nuo’s Great Eater Flower could completely cover it.

But Cen Yu Nuo would need to constantly move around.

Because even for Cen Yu Nuo, the Great Eater Flower’s coverage range was only a few tens of meters.

But this Lei Tai was a two-hundred-meter long and wide field, which was definitely not small!

And now Cen Yu Nuo had solidified herself in place for defense, meaning she was destined not to be able to completely cover the entire arena.

“Lu Ran, retreat! First, get out of the Great Eater Flower’s covered area, then defend against the Great Eater Flower’s long-range attacks!” Su Ting shouted anxiously.

This was not against the rules; other contestants also had so-called mentors and instructors directing their combat from below the arena.

But Lu Ran remained motionless.

Instead, Cen Yu Nuo was a bit curious, why was this guy so dumb, not even running?

However, whether he ran or not made little difference to Cen Yu Nuo.

Cen Yu Nuo came to the center of the arena with this intention. If she solidified her position for defense, she couldn't cover the entire arena comprehensively.

But the Great Eater Flower’s long-range attacks could extend the range again!

Then she would decide based on the opponent’s reaction.

She just never expected that this opponent wouldn't move at all.

Actually, Lu Ran was just curious.

This Great Eater Flower looked mighty and imposing, but he wondered what its attack methods were and how effective they were?

So, he didn't rush to use Blood Spear, but instead stared at the spreading Great Eater Flower, waiting with a smile.

Although there seemed to be many Great Eater Flowers.

They were actually all one entity, sharing a single health bar.

Suddenly.

A Great Eater Flower appeared in front of Lu Ran, opened its gaping maw, and directly swallowed Lu Ran.

“Ah, this… Although the Great Eater Flower’s devour attack deals high damage, it’s very easy to dodge. Why isn’t this guy dodging at all? Is he giving me a free kill?” Cen Yu Nuo was bewildered.

She had been so careful, defending in place, and it turned out her opponent was an idiot?

How did this guy win the first round?

Was it really as the rumors said, he had connections and bribed his opponent?

Just as she was thinking.

Pfft~

The Great Eater Flower suddenly spat Lu Ran out again.

At this moment, Lu Ran was covered in a sticky substance, and his body was riddled with sharp, thorn-like objects, resembling the Great Eater Flower’s teeth.

He already regretted it.

Damn it, he was chewed up by this Great Eater Flower!

His whole body was sticky like snot, extremely uncomfortable!

“Curiosity really kills the cat. Let’s end this quickly,” Lu Ran said, exasperated.

He was no longer interested in the Great Eater Flower’s other attack methods.

He simply raised his hand towards Cen Yu Nuo.

Blood Spear materialized before him.

Then.

Lu Ran grinned.

The Blood Spear, like an arrow released from a bowstring, shot forth, heading straight for Cen Yu Nuo!
