Chapter 194: Am I Still Human?

Below the stage.

Su Ting saw it clearly until Lu Ran stepped off the stage and appeared before her.

Only then did she snap back to reality.

At this moment, Su Ting looked at Lu Ran as if he were a monster!

Cen Yuno, his opponent, was quite famous; she was also from the Imperial Capital Academy and had joined the Tianfu Association with Cong Shuang.

However, later, for some reason, Cen Yuno left the Imperial Capital.

She went to Jialong City.

That was also the main base of the Cen Family.

Su Ting knew that Cen Yuno, under such comprehensive protection just now, had her maximum health even approaching a million!

That was almost invincible at this stage for new professional players!

But even so.

She was still instantly killed by Lu Ran!

One Blood Spear, just like in the morning, it was simply a matter of one Blood Spear!

Fast!

Accurate!

Ruthless!

At this moment, Su Ting's thoughts coincided with Cong Shuang's.

If it were the current Su Ting, she might not even be able to block this Blood Spear!

"Who exactly… is he…" Su Ting was in a daze.

Is this an achievement and damage that a new professional player can reach in just over twenty days?

"Sister Tingting, shall we go to the backstage lounge now?" Lu Ran waved his hand in front of Su Ting, interrupting her daze.

"Oh, right, yes, we'll go to the lounge." Su Ting came back to her senses, nodding repeatedly.

Then, with numb legs, she walked towards the lounge, with Lu Ran by her side.

As they passed Cong Shuang's arena, Lu Ran glanced at Cong Shuang and grinned.

At this moment, even distracted, Cong Shuang still had her opponent firmly under control, an absolute suppression!

Facing Lu Ran's smile, Cong Shuang also smiled politely, but her smile seemed a little stiff.

Until Lu Ran left.

Watching Lu Ran's retreating figure, Cong Shuang took a deep breath.

At least she now knew Lu Ran's abilities; although she didn't understand it, the damage from that Blood Spear was incredibly high!

She had to find a way to deal with Lu Ran's Blood Spear problem before the next round of matches.

Otherwise, if she was unlucky enough to encounter Lu Ran as an opponent in the next round, she would surely lose!

And for now, the primary goal was to defeat her current opponent and successfully advance to the next round!

But before the third round tomorrow, she had to be prepared.

Thinking of this.

Cong Shuang no longer hesitated, going all out, fiercely suppressing her opponent while taking no damage herself, and securing victory in the match.

Then, Cong Shuang jumped directly off the stage and walked backstage.

She didn't even bother to listen to the host's announcement after her victory; Cong Shuang felt no sense of honor from it.

Facing an almost unbeatable opponent like Lu Ran, this pressure surpassed everything!

"If I really can't find a way, then there's only the least desirable method, which is to kill Lu Ran before he uses Blood Spear!" Cong Shuang thought to herself.

Of course.

The 'kill' here didn't mean actually killing Lu Ran.

Instead, it meant rapidly reducing Lu Ran's health to 1% under an explosive burst!

The difficulty was immense!

As a Star Mage, although her burst power was strong, it was still very difficult to defeat an opponent of the same level, even if the opponent was a magic-based class!

"I need to switch to burst equipment, abandoning all defense. It's either you die or I die!" Cong Shuang said through gritted teeth.

Because the result was obvious.

Even stacking some defense would definitely not reach the state of Cen Yuno's absolute defense, and still wouldn't be able to block the Blood Spear.

So, it would be simpler to abandon all defense and maximize output damage!

Thinking of this.

Cong Shuang felt a little relieved; at least there wasn't no hope at all.

Meanwhile, at the Cong Family's seating area.

Cong Jixian was completely stunned.

This time, he had truly seen Lu Ran fight.

Unfortunately, it was a bit short; one Blood Spear and it was over. His understanding of Lu Ran was still limited to the Blood Spear skill, knowing nothing else!

After all.

Who would have thought that an Undead Mage would not even summon undead creatures when instantly killing an opponent!

Is this even an Undead Mage anymore?

Even hidden offensive classes don't have damage as exaggerated as Lu Ran's!

"As expected of someone valued by the Four Great Guilds. I now somewhat understand Yu Qingcang's words; Cong Shuang, that girl, is still far behind Lu Ran," Cong Jixian murmured.

"So powerful…" Cong Yu was stunned.

She was also an Undead Mage and also knew Blood Spear, but that skill, even when charged for eight seconds, only increased damage by a percentage; how could it be so exaggerated!

Lu Ran's power far exceeded Cong Yu's comprehension.

Even the confidence she once had in her sister, Cong Shuang, had largely dissipated.

If Cong Shuang were to encounter Lu Ran, the outcome would be very dangerous!

Cen Yuno returned to the lounge and left shortly after.

She didn't even stay at the arena.

Instead, she went directly back to the Cen Family's branch in the Imperial Capital.

In the garden path north of the courtyard.

Cen Yuno was comfortably lying on a lounge chair, basking in the sun, completely unconcerned about the subsequent matches, and showing no unwillingness about her defeat.

"You're so relaxed. You lost, and you have no pressure at all." A white-haired young woman beside her looked at Cen Yuno, smiling wryly.

"What pressure could there be? I don't care for the small rewards the country gives," Cen Yuno giggled and said.

Two fair calves dangled outside the lounge chair, swaying. Her knee-high white stockings were soft and smooth, and one foot dangled, hooking her shoe, half off.

Her entire foot was petite enough to be held in one hand, at least food-grade!

"Have you made contact? How do you feel?" the young woman continued to ask.

"Hmm, my luck was pretty good; I met him in the second round. As for his strength, there's no doubt. He's someone the Elves and Dwarves both recognize, and he indeed surpasses the scope of a professional player. Unfortunately, I couldn't see his full strength, so I still know too little," Cen Yuno said regretfully.

"Indeed, I didn't expect such a result myself," the young woman nodded in agreement.

"If I had been allowed to sneak a peek at Kunlun Death Valley back then, I might have gained something," Cen Yuno said.

"Hindsight. Appearing then carried a great risk of exposure. Remember your identity," the young woman said, rolling her eyes at Cen Yuno.

"Oh, I know!" Cen Yuno waved her hand impatiently.

Then she sat up.

Hooking her shoe with one finger and putting it back on, she suddenly asked, "Am I still human?"

The young woman paused.

Then she slowly shook her head, then nodded again, saying, "Yes, and no. It makes no difference. You are still a part of Dragon Xia. The world order is about to change drastically, and the candidates need to be determined as soon as possible. Currently, Lu Ran is the only candidate, but we still know too little about him."

"Oh~" Cen Yuno responded.

Then she got up and walked out.

"Where are you going?" the young woman asked.

"To play with Lu Ran. We still know too little about him. If I'm not mistaken, the Cong Family will also start contacting Lu Ran. After the third round tomorrow, Lu Ran will be a hot commodity, and various forces will move. First come, first served. The early bird catches the worm. Don't wait for me for dinner!"

After speaking.

Cen Yuno's figure disappeared around the corner.
