Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 186: One on Five
"Director Qian, the list of people I want to challenge has been sent to your mobile phone. There are 31 people in total." Lin Lan said to Qian Kun who was standing on the stage hosting the competition.

According to the rules, there is no limit on the number of challengers. Originally, today's schedule was all Lin Lan's challenge matches. After the previous rounds of fierce battles, no one dared to challenge on the stage after being shocked by Lin Lan's strength. As a result, it was Lin Lan's turn to challenge others.

"I have received it. Let's proceed according to the challenge list you provided. Lin Lan, your first challenge target is Zhou Shuming, who is ranked 21st on the Thunder List." Qian Kun announced loudly while looking at his phone.

Zhou Shuming obviously has considerable strength to be ranked 21st on the Thunder Ranking. It should be noted that nearly half of the top 100 masters on the Thunder Ranking are dual-spiritual species, and the gap between them is often reflected in the level of cultivation.

At this moment, Zhou Shuming was discussing with several people beside him, and he had no intention of leaving the stage for a long time. It was not difficult to guess that the content of their discussion was most likely about the countermeasures to Lin Lan's challenge.

Lin Lan did not use the sound whirl spell to eavesdrop on their conversation. After all, the challenge list has been determined, and everything will eventually return to the contest of strength. Among all the mid-level mages present, if it is a one-on-one duel, no one can defeat Lin Lan...

Leiyuan has a clear rule that the challenged has no right to refuse the challenger's invitation, and the battle can only be avoided if the challenger takes the initiative to withdraw the challenge.

This means that, whether they are willing or not, these people must accept Lin Lan's challenge. If they cannot find an effective way to deal with it, they will undoubtedly be unilaterally suppressed by Lin Lan.

"Sister Mu, look, it's Zhou Shuming. He's simply a coward. He's been staying in his seat and refusing to go on stage. In my opinion, he must have seen how powerful Lin Lan is and was so scared that he dared not come down..." Ai Tutu's face was full of anger. He pointed at Zhou Shuming not far away and cursed loudly.

However, Zhou Shuming seemed to be deaf to Ai Tutu's shouting and cursing, neither turning back nor responding. Perhaps, as Ai Tutu said, he was indeed afraid; or perhaps he was really deaf and blind, and was completely unaware of Ai Tutu's loud cursing and jumping behavior.

"They seem to be discussing something important..." Mu Nujiao frowned slightly and said softly.

"Don't worry about what they are discussing. Lin Lan can definitely beat Zhou Shuming to a pulp. Fortunately, I gave Lin Lan money and asked him to challenge the notorious Zhou Shuming first. Zhou Shuming should have been severely punished long ago. It's his fault for always harassing us. It would be better if the big devil breaks his hands and feet." Ai Tutu's face turned red with anger, and his words were full of anger.

"Zhou Shuming is not an easy character to deal with. He has a very high level of earth magic, and the earth magic is the most powerful against the thunder magic. Lin Lan has released so many mid-level thunder magics in succession before, and I'm afraid he doesn't have much magic energy left." Mu Nujiao looked worried, and her tone was full of concern.

Mo Fan, who was standing by, just smiled and said nothing. But in his heart, he was extremely envious of Lin Lan.

You know, the magic energy reserves of high-level mages are vastly different from those of mid-level mages. Normally, the magic energy consumed by releasing three or four mid-level spells is roughly equivalent to releasing one high-level spell. With Lin Lan's strength, it is estimated that he can release about five high-level spells in a row.

With such a simple estimate, Lin Lan can do whatever he wants in the Thunder Academy with his powerful thunder magic.

I don't know if the strength of the people in the Fire Academy is as amazing as that of the Thunder Academy...

At this moment, Zhou Shuming finally stood up and walked towards the stage.

Under the attention of the audience, he took steady steps and slowly stepped onto the stage. As soon as the girls on the field saw Zhou Shuming, they screamed.

Zhou Shuming may not be the most outstanding person in the entire department, but he is definitely the prince charming in the eyes of many girls. He is handsome and likes to flirt with girls everywhere. For people like Ai Tutu, this is undoubtedly a form of harassment. However, many girls just fall for this... so much so that many girls challenge him, not for the sake of ranking, but just for the desire to stand face to face with him.

Once these girls fall in love, they can't be pulled back by nine bulls... Zhou Shuming, with his yellow hair, attracts bees and butterflies everywhere, just like committing crimes. Logically speaking, in this academy, everyone is a distinguished mid-level magician, and such childish and infatuated behavior should not appear. But in fact, there are many such female students.

This scene reminded Lin Lan of his past experiences. Some people have many girlfriends, which makes people wonder if they spend all their time flirting with different girls, hurting those girls. Lin Lan has never bothered to care about these things, but since Zhou Shuming is on his challenge list and he has received money, he must make Zhou Shuming suffer some serious injuries no matter what.

Zhou Shuming had a gentle smile on his face, staring at Lin Lan with a sharp gaze, and slowly said, "I originally thought that I would not be on your challenge list. Unexpectedly, I was still targeted by you, a troublemaker. Since I am already standing here, I guess there must be many people on your list."

Lin Lan glanced at the yellow-haired man and cursed in his heart: "Aren't you talking nonsense? The people on the list are all you scheming guys. I'm just a civilian mage who likes to raise eagles and play with lightning magic. You guys don't want to be good people, but insist on being beasts, so don't blame me for being rude. I have to get some resources from you, just as compensation for my mental damage caused by the fatigue and fear during this period of time."

After all, Lin Lan was an intellectual who had received nine years of compulsory education and seven years of high school and university education. In this magical world, he was considered a well-educated and well-mannered person. But these guys in front of him were so stupid...

At first, Lin Lan just wanted to easily take the first place on the Thunder Ranking, but someone didn't know what was good for him and took advantage of him. Not only did he insult him in person, but he also provoked him in various ways. There was nothing he could do. He had to give these so-called geniuses an unforgettable shock.

"If you don't want to speak, how about we make a deal?" Zhou Shuming said when he saw this.

"Tell me about it. Although I'm not very interested in transactions, I guess this is another tactic you came up with. Are you planning to come up and die one by one, or do you want to use something to please me? But, forget about pleasing me, I've already made it clear that I'm going to take away your resources." Lin Lan looked indifferent, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

The smile on Zhou Shuming's face froze instantly, and he thought to himself, "Could this guy really have some special tricks? It seems like nothing can be hidden from him. It seems like I can only use my second trick..."

Lin Lan was just guessing. After all, he had been through a lot and had seen a lot of this kind of human relationships. Once interests were involved, things that were originally planned would often change.

Unfortunately, Lin Lan is not the kind of person who forgets his principles when he sees profit. He always finishes what he starts.

Resources that you strive for through your own efforts, or even snatch from others, will be more enjoyable to use.

Zhou Shuming's mind turned, and his expression instantly became stern. He said coldly: "You think too much, don't you? Don't you think about yourself and whether you are worthy of us taking things to please you? Do you really think you are invincible? Your self-righteousness is simply a big joke! I, Zhou Shuming, am indeed not your opponent in a single fight, but if we take turns, you will definitely lose. We don't want to bully the weak with the majority, so I'll give you a chance. Now you kowtow and apologize, and we will let it go."

Six words suddenly flashed through Lin Lan's mind: This person is mentally ill!

Seeing that Lin Lan remained silent, Zhou Shuming mistakenly thought that his words had worked, so he continued: "Or this, don't you want resources? We'll give you a chance. We'll be a team of five, and as long as you can win, not to mention 70% of the resources, all of our resources in Leiyuan will belong to you!"

"No problem, go and call someone." Lin Lan agreed without hesitation.

Oh my god, this is what they were planning.

But what does it matter if it's one against five? The key is to be able to obtain all the resources they have in Leiyuan. This condition must be agreed. There are always people who like to give resources away, and there is nothing you can do about it.
