That night was spent in the village.

Ye Hongyi wasn't wrong, the cuisine of the Southern Border was unlike anything Lu Ran had ever tasted in Black Fire City.

Moreover.

Because Wei Yingying personally arranged it, the chefs were of a high caliber.

The meal even increased 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, Lu Ran didn't really need them anyway.

The next morning.

Lu Ran woke up habitually, only to be stunned for a moment.

He then went outside and saw Liu Xinxin wandering around the village, and he quickly approached.

He asked, "Sister Xinxin, how do we conduct the morning meeting?"

"Morning meeting?" Lei Tai happened to pass by and said, "Forget about the morning meeting, you've awakened your profession, just play on your own. What's the point?"

"But that's a school regulation. If I don't go, won't it be..." Lu Ran hesitated.

Just then.

Ye Hongyi also came over.

She wrapped her arm around Lu Ran's shoulder, pulling him into her embrace.

With a raised eyebrow, she said, "A mere Black Fire Academy dares to find trouble because of a regulation? I'll be the first to handle it!"

And so.

The morning meeting for Lu Ran was thus canceled.

Without even notifying the academy.

But this did indeed draw the academy's attention.

During the morning meeting, Lu Ran never appeared. Qin Wuyao glanced in the direction of Lu Ran's class, her expression seemingly a little reluctant.

She opened her communication device, intending to contact Lu Ran.

But after thinking it over, she decided against it and bit her lip, closing the message box.

Her face didn't look too good.

In the morning meeting, Lu Ran's level was, of course, way ahead, and the others couldn't even come close!

The huge gap was like an experienced student mixing in a new student ranking.

The morning meeting finished.

Jiang Zhenbei and several instructors came to the meeting room.

"Lu Ran still didn't come?" Jiang Zhenbei frowned and asked.

The other instructors looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Outrageous! For so many years, morning meetings for newcomers are an ironclad rule! Without asking for leave, how dare he not show up at will? Who does he think he is?" Jiang Zhenbei berated.

At this point.

One of the instructors tentatively said, "Given Lu Ran's current level, he indeed doesn't need our instruction, but not showing up for the morning meeting is indeed somewhat impolite."

"Hmph!" Jiang Zhenbei snorted coldly, "This isn't about politeness. The fact that he can level up so quickly is indeed impressive. Never in history has any Undead Mage leveled up at such speed, but that's not a reason for him to get arrogant!"

Having said that.

Jiang Zhenbei asked again, "By the way, does anyone know how Lu Ran levels up so quickly? Any news?"

One of the instructors pondered for a few seconds.

He said, "I've deliberately paid attention, but none of the people I investigated had contact with Lu Ran. Rather, Lu Ran was close with Qin Wuyao before, but recently doesn't seem to team up with her anymore, and also had contact with Qin Lie."

Qin Lie?

Jiang Zhenbei was taken aback, frowning slightly, "If Qin Lie condones it, it would indeed be difficult to trouble Lu Ran. This kid is too arrogant!"

Even if Qin Lie of the Celestial Path Alliance is backing Lu Ran.

Lu Ran still shouldn't get arrogant!

After some thought.

Jiang Zhenbei didn't directly confront Lu Ran but first sent a message to Qin Lie: "Grand Steward, Lu Ran didn't come to the morning meeting today, isn't that not very good? If you permit it, at least let the academy know, right?"

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

After all.

Qin Lie is the Grand Steward of the Black Fire City branch of the Celestial Path Alliance!

Qin Lie, who received the message, was already overwhelmed with personal affairs and had no time to discuss whether Lu Ran attended the morning meeting.

"For a mere morning meeting, given Lu Ran's current abilities, he could dismantle Black Fire Academy if he wanted!" Qin Lie muttered helplessly.

After thinking it over.

He replied, "It wasn't me who permitted it, but you best not meddle in such trivial matters. Is it really worth it for a tiny morning meeting?"

Qin Lie was in a foul mood due to personal matters.

So naturally, his message came across unfriendly.

After sending the message, Qin Lie guessed that Jiang Zhenbei would still be indignant given his temper.

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

As expected!

Upon seeing the message, Jiang Zhenbei's eyes widened immediately!

"Okay, okay, okay! If it wasn't Qin Lie who condoned it, I have to see who gave Lu Ran such confidence!" Jiang Zhenbei exclaimed angrily.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In Fog Barrier Valley.

Ye Hongyi received the message.

At this time, Lu Ran was still fighting monsters, with Lei Tai and Liu Xinxin at his side.

Wei Yingying, as before, was guarding the entrance of Fog Barrier Valley, watching from the tower.

Even though she saw Lu Ran fight monsters yesterday, it was just as thrilling to watch today!

"Jiang Zhenbei? Oh, the principal of Lu Ran's academy, is it? Damn, is he really questioning Lu Ran over this nonsense?" Lei Tai was speechless.

"It's better to resolve it since it indeed breaks the rules." Liu Xinxin pondered.

At this moment, Jiang Zhenbei.

Was about to open his communication device and personally question Lu Ran.

After a thought, he directly sent a message to Lu Ran: "Lu Ran, didn't come to the morning meeting?"

Just as the message was sent.

Ding!

A new message came through.

"My little brother won't need to attend the morning meeting in the future, I said so."

This message was quite arrogant!

Jiang Zhenbei raised his eyebrows immediately, but when he opened the other party's profile, he was instantly shocked green in the face.

Ye Hongyi!

Ye Hongyi of the Red Robe Tower!

What's going on?

He had just sent a message questioning Qin Lie, and a message from Ye Hongyi immediately followed!

Behind Lu Ran is Ye Hongyi!

Gulp~

Jiang Zhenbei swallowed his saliva.

He was just contemplating how to respond to Ye Hongyi.

Ding!

Another message came through.

"A lousy morning meeting, damn annoyed? I'm Lu Ran's brother, keep harping on your rules, and I'll tear down your academy!"

This was even more overbearing!

But after the previous experience, Jiang Zhenbei hurriedly opened the other party's profile again.

At once, his brain went buzzing.

The message this time was from Lei Tai of the Battle Banner National Defense Army!

"Lei Tai, also...also backing Lu Ran!" Jiang Zhenbei was dumbfounded.

But that wasn't all.

Soon after, another message arrived.

This one was much more gentle: "Lu Ran is my little brother, the morning meeting is useless, he won't attend in the future."

Jiang Zhenbei shakily opened the other party's profile.

Liu Xinxin of Mirror Flower Water Moon!

From Longxia's Four Major Guilds, three guild masters sent him messages at the same time!

Jiang Zhenbei hurriedly opened Lu Ran's message list.

Sent a message: "Classmate Lu, I don't mean anything else, just worried since you didn't show up. Since your siblings have said you're fine, then it's good, the morning meeting, whether you attend or not, is alright actually."

Meanwhile, Lu Ran.

Also didn't have time to check the communication device.

Instead, he was preparing to enter the Endless Tower, to completely surpass Nanami!

At the same time, he quickly started today's monster hunting journey.

"Today I'll reach level thirty and unlock new entries and skills!"

Lu Ran was very excited!

Conquering Nanami, on the other hand, didn't seem to thrill Lu Ran all that much.
