Skills with no cooldown? I become the Undead Scourge! - Chapter 95

He spent that night in the village.

Ye Hongyi was right. The food of the Southern Border was completely different from anything Lu Ran had ever eaten in Blackfire City.

Moreover.

Because it was personally arranged by Wei Yingying, the chefs were all of the highest caliber.

A single meal even boosted Lu Ran’s intelligence by two points, stamina by one point, and agility by three points!

At the same time.

Lu Ran also gained a bunch of food buffs. Although these buffs only lasted a few hours, it didn’t matter since Lu Ran didn’t really need them anyway.

The next morning.

Lu Ran got up out of habit and suddenly froze.

Then, going outside, he saw Liu Xinxin strolling around the village. He hurried over.

He asked, “Sister Xinxin, what about the morning assembly? How do I attend?”

“Morning assembly?” Lei Tai happened to be passing by and said, “What’s the point of that assembly now? You’ve awakened your class, just go have fun on your own. What’s there to attend? You’re already miles ahead in the assembly rankings, no surprises there. Besides, which of those instructors at the assembly could possibly teach you anything?”

“But it’s a school rule. If I don’t go, wouldn’t that be…” Lu Ran hesitated.

Just then.

Ye Hongyi also walked over.

She threw an arm around Lu Ran’s shoulders, pulling him into a side hug.

Raising an eyebrow, she said, “A measly Blackfire Academy dares to come after you over some rule? I’ll be the first to deal with them!”

And so.

Lu Ran’s morning assembly attendance was canceled.

The academy wasn’t even notified.

But this naturally drew the academy’s attention.

During the assembly, Lu Ran never showed up. Qin Wuya glanced towards Lu Ran’s class area, a trace of what seemed like reluctance in her eyes.

She opened her communicator, wanting to contact Lu Ran.

But after a moment’s thought, she gritted her teeth and closed the message window.

She didn’t look well.

At the assembly, Lu Ran’s level, of course, was still leagues ahead, leaving everyone else in the dust!
The gap was so vast it was like a senior student had somehow been placed on the freshman rankings.

After the assembly.

Jiang Zhenbei and several instructors went to the meeting room.

“Did Lu Ran ultimately not show up?” Jiang Zhenbei asked with a frown.

The other instructors looked at each other, none daring to speak.

“This is outrageous! For years, the freshman morning assembly has been an ironclad rule! Not requesting leave, skipping without permission, who does he think he is?” Jiang Zhenbei scolded angrily.

At that point.

An instructor cautiously said, “Given Lu Ran’s current level, he truly doesn’t need instruction from us teachers anymore. However, not showing up at all for the assembly is somewhat impolite.”

“Hmph!” Jiang Zhenbei snorted coldly. “This isn’t about politeness. I admire his ability to level up so quickly—no Necromancer in history has ever leveled this fast—but that’s no reason for him to get arrogant!”

After speaking.

Jiang Zhenbei asked again, “By the way, does anyone know how Lu Ran is leveling so quickly? Any information?”

One instructor pondered for a few seconds.

Then said, “I did pay attention on purpose, but none of the people I investigated had any contact with Lu Ran. However, Lu Ran was quite close to Qin Wuya before, and recently doesn’t seem to team up with her anymore. Also, Lu Ran has had contact with Qin Lie.”

Qin Lie?

Jiang Zhenbei was taken aback, his brow furrowing. “If Qin Lie gave his silent approval, then it really wouldn’t be easy to give Lu Ran a hard time. That kid is too full of himself!”

Even with the backing of Qin Lie from the Heavenly Path Alliance behind Lu Ran.

Lu Ran shouldn’t be this arrogant!
Thinking it over.

Jiang Zhenbei didn’t directly confront Lu Ran. Instead, he first sent a message to Qin Lie: “Grand Deacon, Lu Ran didn’t attend the morning assembly today. Isn’t this inappropriate? If you gave your silent approval, you should at least notify the academy, right?”

Though fuming inside, Jiang Zhenbei didn’t dare to speak too harshly to Qin Lie.

After all.

Qin Lie was the Grand Deacon of the Heavenly Path Alliance’s Blackfire City branch!

When Qin Lie received the message, he was already overwhelmed with his own family troubles. How could he have the spare time to discuss with Jiang Zhenbei whether Lu Ran should attend the morning assembly or not?

“A measly morning assembly? With Lu Ran’s current capabilities, he could tear down Blackfire Academy if he wanted!” Qin Lie muttered helplessly.

After a moment’s thought.

He replied: “It wasn’t my silent approval. But you’d better not interfere. It’s just a morning assembly, a trivial matter. Is it really that important?”
Qin Lie was already in a bad mood because of his family affairs.

Naturally, his tone in the message wasn’t pleasant either.

After sending it, Qin Lie figured with Jiang Zhenbei’s temper, he probably still wouldn’t let it go.

So he directly sent a message to Ye Hongyi, explaining the situation.

Sure enough!

When Jiang Zhenbei saw Qin Lie’s reply, his eyes nearly bulged out!
“Fine, fine, fine! Since it wasn’t Qin Lie’s approval, let’s see who gave Lu Ran such audacity!” Jiang Zhenbei fumed.

Meanwhile.

Back at Mist Barrier Valley.

Ye Hongyi received the message.

At that moment, Lu Ran was still grinding monsters, with Lei Tai and Liu Xinxin by his side.

Wei Yingying, same as yesterday, was stationed at the entrance of Mist Barrier Valley, watching from the tower.

Even though she had seen Lu Ran grind monsters yesterday, watching today was still just as thrilling!

“Jiang Zhenbei? Oh, the dean of Lu Ran’s academy, right? Damn, he’s actually questioning Lu Ran over this trivial matter?” Lei Tai was speechless.

“We should probably resolve this. After all, it really is against the rules,” Liu Xinxin mused.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhenbei.

Had just opened his communicator, planning to personally reprimand Lu Ran.

After some thought, he sent a direct message to Lu Ran: “Lu Ran, didn’t attend the morning assembly?”

The message had just been sent.

Ding!
A new message arrived.

“My little brother won’t be attending morning assemblies anymore. I said so.”

The message was incredibly bold!
Jiang Zhenbei immediately raised his eyebrows, but when he clicked to view the sender’s information, his face instantly turned pale with fright.

Ye Hongyi!
Ye Hongyi of the Scarlet Mansion!
What was going on?
He had just messaged Qin Lie to question him, and now Ye Hongyi was messaging him!
Lu Ran had Ye Hongyi backing him!

Gulp~
Jiang Zhenbei swallowed hard.

He was just thinking about how to reply to Ye Hongyi.

Ding!
Another message arrived.

“Some lousy morning assembly, what’s the point? Annoying, isn’t it? I’m Lu Ran’s brother. Keep yapping about your rules, and I’ll tear your academy down!”

This one was even more arrogant!

But with the previous warning, Jiang Zhenbei hurriedly clicked to view the sender’s information.

Instantly, his head started buzzing.

This time, the sender was Lei Tai from the Banner Protector Army!

“Lei Tai… he’s also backing Lu Ran!” Jiang Zhenbei was utterly dumbfounded.

But that wasn’t all.

Immediately after, another message arrived.

This one was much milder: “Lu Ran is my younger brother. The morning assembly is useless for him, so he won’t be attending anymore.”

Jiang Zhenbei’s hand trembled as he clicked to view the sender’s information.

Liu Xinxin of Mirror Flower, Water Moon!

Three guild leaders from the four great guilds of Longxia were messaging him simultaneously!

Jiang Zhenbei hurriedly opened Lu Ran’s message list.

He sent a message: “Student Lu, I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just worried when I didn’t see you. Since your older brothers and sisters say you’re fine, that’s good. The morning assembly… attending or not, it’s really all the same.”

As for Lu Ran at that moment.

He didn’t have time to check his communicator.

He was preparing to enter the Endless Tower to completely surpass Nana Sheng!

At the same time, he was about to rapidly begin today’s monster-grinding session.

“Today I can reach level thirty and unlock new attributes and skills!”

Lu Ran was very much looking forward to it!

Surpassing Nana Sheng didn’t seem to excite Lu Ran as much.
