Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 46

Hearing this, Liu Wenshan’s body trembled violently.

He gulped, his mouth opening as if to say something, but his throat felt parched and dry.

He picked up a teacup, but his arm was shaking so much he couldn’t drink from it.

“I’ve said all I can, Wenshan. I’m moving out of Blackfire City. This matter has nothing to do with me. You take care of yourself.”

With that, the middle-aged man left in a hurry.

But his departure wasn’t the problem; Liu Wenshan couldn’t just leave.

The Liu family’s assets were in Blackfire City. This was their foundation!
Leaving meant abandoning everything the Liu family had built!

But the fear in his heart continued to spread.

Meanwhile.

In Japan, Nanaomi had already received the news.

“That Necromancer climbed another floor at 8:30 PM. He’s already cleared the 53rd floor. His current rank is 16th. His personal information is still hidden,” her attendant reported.

Nanaomi was baffled.

She asked instinctively, “He jumped four ranks in one go? So, for the 53rd floor, he still has the shortest clear time?”

Seeing the attendant nod,

Nanaomi was at a loss.

What was going on with this Necromancer?
If he could fight his way through, why did he pause after one floor yesterday, and again after a night’s interval now?
But if the fights were difficult, barely scraping by, how could he possibly be crushing all other Hidden Class users on the same floor, securing the top spot with the fastest efficiency?
Even with the Hades’ Crystal Skull, that item might save his life at a critical moment, but it shouldn’t boost his clearing efficiency like this!
This was really strange!

“Keep watching,” Nanaomi said, feeling irritated and unsettled.

Even though the opponent was only rank 16 and took long breaks between floors, what did this pattern mean? Was he strong or weak?
Normal professionals would push their limits until they reached a floor that was truly difficult and risky, then stop, not daring to go further because it was too dangerous.

They would often be stuck for at least ten days to half a month before attempting again; some even waited months between attempts.

But what kind of strategy was this Necromancer using?
By now, even though Nanaomi said she didn’t need to pay attention to a ‘lucky’ Necromancer, she had started to take him seriously internally.

And all of this was exactly what Liu Xinxin had anticipated!

China, Blackfire City.

Liu Wenshan was restless, even keeping Liu Yang at home today instead of letting him go out to level up.

“Dad, it’s been over an hour. It’s fine, right? Can I go train now?” Liu Yang asked.

He was anxious!

His third-place rank had a huge gap behind Qin Wuyao in second, impossible to surpass, and Lu Ran was completely out of reach.

Right now, he just needed to maintain third place.

But sitting around doing nothing at home, he’d inevitably be surpassed by newcomers behind him!

Many classmates from the same period came from wealthy families; the competition was fierce!
“Alright… it seems like nothing has happened so far…”

Liu Wanshan said thoughtfully.

But halfway through his sentence, he suddenly froze, staring in shock at his message notification panel.

It clearly stated:

【You have been kicked out of the War Banner Army guild!】

That simple message struck him like a thunderbolt!
The Liu family’s rapid growth and Liu Wenshan’s ability to maneuver successfully owed much to his status as a member of the War Banner Army.

But now, he had been kicked out!
Liu Wenshan was bewildered. Hadn’t he offended the Heavenly Dao Alliance?

Why was the War Banner Army involved?
And even if he had offended Lu Ran and the Heavenly Dao Alliance, wouldn’t the War Banner Army protect its own member?
He reached up in surprise and touched his chest.

Sure enough!

The guild emblem representing the honor of the War Banner Army was gone!
“Dad, you… your guild emblem?” Liu Yang noticed it keenly.

“I… I was kicked out of the War Banner Army!” Liu Wenshan said, his face pale.

“What? Why? Was it a mistake?” Liu Yang asked in astonishment.

Liu Wenshan sat dumbfounded on the sofa.

On a normal day, if he were suddenly kicked out, he might think it was an error.

But at this critical moment, right after offending Lu Ran and the Heavenly Dao Alliance, being expelled from the guild…

Was this a coincidence?
He hurriedly opened the guild panel.

Indeed, he no longer belonged to any guild.

He opened the War Banner Army’s guild information again, wanting to apply to rejoin or ask what happened.

But he found the ‘Apply to Join’ button was grayed out!

At the same time, he saw the latest announcement on the War Banner Army’s guild interface, posted three minutes ago:

【War Banner Army member Liu Wenshan, Level 53 Magic Swordsman, has been removed from the guild for violating guild regulations. Permanently blacklisted!】

Boom!
Liu Wenshan’s mind exploded!

Not only was he kicked out, but he was also blacklisted!

He would never be eligible to join the War Banner Army again!

“What on earth is happening? What’s going on? That Lu Ran…” Liu Wenshan’s mind was in complete chaos. The arrogance he had shown when confronting Lu Ran earlier had long since vanished.

“Damn War Banner Army, how shameless! Kicking people out just like that!” Liu Yang cursed angrily, feeling indignant.

But he dared to curse; he was a newborn calf unafraid of the tiger.

Liu Wenshan, however, didn’t dare.

Instead, he cautiously looked around.

“Dad, it’s okay. You’re a Rare Class, and a popular Magic Swordsman at that. Plenty of guilds would want you. Even applying to the Heavenly Dao Alliance might have a chance of success; you’re over level 50 after all. If this place doesn’t want us, there are plenty others!” Liu Yang tried to comfort him.

Liu Wenshan took a deep breath and nodded. “That’s true. Many guilds have offered me positions before, with excellent terms.”

Saying this, he instinctively opened the Heavenly Dao Alliance’s guild interface.

Even though he had just offended them, looking couldn’t hurt.

If he could join the Heavenly Dao Alliance, that status would be even more impressive than the War Banner Army!
But upon opening it, Liu Wenshan was stunned.

The ‘Apply to Join’ marker was also grayed out and unselectable!

At the same time, he saw the Heavenly Dao Alliance’s latest announcement:
【Level 53 Magic Swordsman Liu Wenshan is permanently blacklisted!】

Huh?
Liu Wenshan’s eyes widened. He was blacklisted by the Heavenly Dao Alliance too!
Trembling, Liu Wenshan then clicked on the third major guild, the Scarlet Pavilion.

But he immediately remembered: the Scarlet Pavilion was a female-only guild; they never accepted males.

Even so, just as he was about to close the interface, he unexpectedly noticed that the Scarlet Pavilion’s application marker was also grayed out!
Could it be…?

His face grim, Liu Wenshan looked up at the guild announcement.

Sure enough!

The latest announcement:
【Level 53 Magic Swordsman Liu Wenshan is permanently blacklisted!】

Even though it was a female-only guild that didn’t accept men, they had still blacklisted him and issued a public announcement!

“What about Mirror Flower, Water Moon?” Liu Wenshan muttered.

He anxiously opened the Mirror Flower, Water Moon guild interface.

What he saw felt like a club hitting his head!
The application marker was similarly grayed out, unusable!

The announcement was identical, as if all four guilds had coordinated!
【Level 53 Magic Swordsman Liu Wenshan is permanently blacklisted!】

At this moment, Liu Wenshan felt as if the sky had fallen!
The four great guilds were jointly boycotting him, blacklisting him together!
And they had all issued announcements. He dared anyone in China, among all the large and small guilds, to take him in now?
Liu Wenshan slumped into his chair, his whole spirit seeming to drain away.

“Just who… is that Lu Ran…”
