9: I'd like to give you a chance

Chapter 9 I Am Willing to Give You a Chance

Without exception, everyone present was familiar with Lu Ran.

As Blackfire Academy's student with the highest mental power in history, all the instructors had high hopes for Lu Ran.

Principal Jiang Zhenbei had already contacted the Tiandao Alliance.

As the Great Deacon of the Tiandao Alliance's Black Fire City branch, Qin Lie had also been paying attention to Lu Ran for a long time.

Yesterday's Awakening Ceremony.

Countless people were also paying attention to Lu Ran.

But the result was that Lu Ran awakened as an Undead Mage.

In an instant, all the previous attention almost disappeared at the same time.

But after the regret, their eyes shifted to Qin Wuyao and the other rare professionals.

But they didn't expect it.

In just a short day, no, less than a day.

Lu Ran was already Level 8!

This leveling speed was too exaggerated!

In previous years, on the first day of the newcomer level rankings, the highest was basically Level 5, which was already the limit.

Unless it was a major family that extremely pursued first-day leveling speed, booking out areas in the wild to drive away other newcomers, occupying large areas of wild monsters, and at the same time using expensive team contracts to reduce experience penalties.

And they also had to cooperate perfectly throughout, maximizing the monster-farming speed, with four members carrying one, to possibly reach Level 6 on the first day!

As for reaching Level 7 on the first day, it had only happened a few times in history!

Let alone Level 8, it was unheard of!

No one knew how Lu Ran did it.

It was well known that the further one leveled up, the more exaggerated the experience required.

The experience needed to go from Level 7 to Level 8 was more than the sum of all previous experience!

And compared to the experience required to level up to Level 5, it was almost five times more!

In front of Lu Ran, the various families' four-person carry-one leveling yesterday seemed like a joke!

Beside Lu Ran, Liang Shaoyu was dumbfounded, staring intently at the rankings.

Wang Yujiao was even more stunned.

Then she looked at Lu Ran, her eyes flickering.

She didn't know how Lu Ran did it, but what she thought was, if she had been willing to level up with Lu Ran yesterday, then today, among the top three in the rankings, she, Wang Yujiao, would definitely have a place!

Thinking of this.

Wang Yujiao leaned forward, bypassing Liang Shaoyu, and said to Lu Ran, “Lu Ran, congratulations, I didn’t expect you to level up so fast, I wonder how you…”

Before she finished speaking, Lu Ran directly interrupted her.

Lu Ran glanced at Wang Yujiao and said, “No need to get close, you were right, we are not from the same world.”

Wang Yujiao opened her mouth, her last shred of hope shattered.

She had planned to team up with Lu Ran today!

Although she didn't know what method Lu Ran used to level up, as long as she teamed up with Lu Ran, she would also get experience!

Unfortunately, Lu Ran looked at Wang Yujiao with a cold gaze, even revealing a hint of disgust.

At this moment, the most awkward person was Liang Shaoyu.

His body was stiff, caught between the two of them.

It was very clear that Wang Yujiao wanted to show favor to Lu Ran again because of his ranking, but unfortunately, Lu Ran rejected her.

Wang Yujiao, whom he had managed to poach with great difficulty, now felt like trash that Lu Ran had casually discarded.

Coupled with Liang Shaoyu's previous ridicule of Lu Ran.

A mere Level 4, showing off in front of Lu Ran for a long time, even mocking Lu Ran for being ranked twenty-second.

Now that he thought about it, in front of the already Level 8 Lu Ran, Liang Shaoyu's behavior just now was simply that of a clown!

Just then.

Lu Ran looked at Liang Shaoyu with interest and said, “Young Master Liang, why are you not speaking? Your ranking is also pretty good, at least you made it onto the list. Many classmates don’t even qualify for the rankings, congratulations, it’s just that the gap is a bit big, keep working hard.”

This lecturing tone made Liang Shaoyu's face turn ashen!

But he couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal.

The facts were before their eyes: the Level 8 Lu Ran and the Level 4 Liang Shaoyu, the gap between them was not simply twofold.

It was dozens of times!

On the stage, everyone came back to their senses.

Jiang Zhenbei said with a chuckle, “It seems our students this year are truly full of hidden talents. Not bad, not bad, commendable.”

Qin Lie, on the other hand, scanned the audience with piercing eyes, searching for Lu Ran's figure in the crowd.

Because he suddenly remembered Qin Wuyao's strange behavior yesterday.

During dinner, she repeatedly mentioned Undead Mage!

This morning, she even adamantly stated that she couldn't possibly get first place!

Qin Wuyao must know something!

No wonder he was called an old hand; he integrated all the information and got the result in almost an instant.

But Qin Lie couldn't figure out exactly how Lu Ran did it.

Then, as usual, Jiang Zhenbei briefly explained some details to pay attention to when farming dungeons and wild monsters after awakening new professions.

Finally, he said, “Time is almost up. If any students still have questions, they can consult their respective class instructors for detailed inquiries. The meeting is adjourned.”

After the meeting, Lu Ran was about to leave the training ground.

Suddenly, Wang Yujiao gracefully blocked Lu Ran's path.

She said apologetically, “Lu Ran, I’m sorry, about yesterday…”

“Something wrong?” Lu Ran directly interrupted her.

“Are you going to level up? Let's team up,” Wang Yujiao said eagerly.

Lu Ran chuckled softly.

He said, “What, Young Master Liang isn’t with you? I’m just an ordinary Undead Mage, why would you team up with me? Besides, didn’t you say it yourself, we’re not from the same world.”

“You…” Wang Yujiao’s face turned ugly. “You’re still angry with me, aren’t you? I… I was with Liang Shaoyu last night… I drank too much, it wasn’t my choice, if you want, I can give myself to you, right now! Shall we go to your place?”

To be honest, at this moment, Lu Ran actually felt relieved.

Wang Yujiao's current appearance completely shattered Lu Ran's last shred of reluctance towards her.

Such a rotten person, Qin Wuyao was right, breaking up after graduation, minimizing losses, was a good thing!

“That’s useless to me,” Lu Ran said indifferently.

“I know you still like me, I'm willing to give you a chance, let's get back together, shall we team up to level up?” Wang Yujiao's tone was almost pleading.

But as soon as her words fell.

Before Lu Ran could reply.

Qin Wuyao quickly ran to Lu Ran's side.

She intimately linked her arm through Lu Ran's and said, “What are you doing here? Let’s go, let’s team up and clear some dungeons.”

Immediately, Wang Yujiao’s expression froze on her face.

After Qin Wuyao finished speaking, she glanced at Wang Yujiao again and feigned surprise, “Isn’t that Wang Yujiao? What, your Young Master Liang didn’t take you to level up?”

Wang Yujiao's face became even uglier.

She knew Qin Wuyao's identity; even Liang Shaoyu didn't dare to cross Qin Wuyao, so she certainly wouldn't.

“Shaoyu went to the restroom, he’ll be back soon, I… I’ll be leaving first.”

With that, she scurried away.

Lu Ran looked at Qin Wuyao, feeling both amused and helpless.

In his heart, he was quite grateful; he could clearly see that Qin Wuyao was acting this way precisely because she saw Wang Yujiao bothering him.
