Chapter 329 - Setting the Stage, Global Attention
Lu Ran felt a surge of excitement. This old man is someone worth dealing with. No wonder he’s the strongest in Xia, or maybe even the strongest in the world. He didn’t hesitate at all in providing an Epic resource.
However, if Lu Ran stood in the old president’s position, he would likely feel frustrated too. There’s no use being strong by yourself if the second and third generations aren’t. In a battle where solo strength wasn’t enough to determine victory, resources couldn’t be secured by just one person.
After holding the presidency for so long, the old president must have suffered quite a bit watching the second and third generations fail to meet expectations. This time, he was placing his hopes on Lu Ran.
“Dominate it? Then it’s decided. I’ll be waiting for your domination. Soon, Xia will make an official announcement confirming its participants. However, while the announcement will reveal the participants, remember not to expose too many of your hidden cards in Limitless City before the International Alliance Tournament. Otherwise, those people will have time to prepare and counter your abilities.
”In the Peak Arena, avoid revealing too much of your strength. Your familiars are only at around level 30, and levels are still relatively easy to improve. If you need any resources to level up, request them directly from the association.
“For the sake of Qin Ming and Youxiong, and to ensure you all perform well, the association will allocate a batch of resources for you. Your task is to enhance your foundation based on the strength you have already revealed. Without power, beastmaster battles are all about information asymmetry,” the old president advised.
“I understand.”
Lu Ran felt pleased after hearing that the association would invest more resources in him. While the Peak Arena could also be used to level up, the growth provided by resources was simply superior. The former only provided basic-level increases and balanced attribute growth.
However, spending resources not only boosted levels but also enabled extreme specialization in certain attributes or abilities. With high-quality resources, even species potential and energy techniques could be improved. If resources and funding were sufficient, investing in resources would undoubtedly be the better choice.
Lu Ran immediately made a firm pledge to the old president, promising to dominate in the International Alliance Tournament.
Shortly after, Xia officially launched a campaign to promote its participation in the upcoming tournament.
