Chapter 332 - Rigged, Absolutely Rigged
Regarding Lu Ran’s Twin Crows, the alliance had already discussed the matter internally. Such a unique familiar might not be the only one in the world, but it was certainly the only one in this tournament.
It went without saying that such a unique familiar would inevitably spark controversy. Xia naturally wouldn’t allow the tournament organizers to add special rules banning the Twin Crows from competing.
At this point, it depended on how other factions viewed this familiar. Currently, given Lu Ran’s deep association with the Undead attribute, many countries that had no particular fondness for Xia wouldn’t bother opposing the Twin Crows over such a trivial matter.
Allowing Lu Ran’s Twin Crows to compete wouldn’t cause them any significant losses, so they didn’t see the need to antagonize them over it.
From the perspective of countries at odds with Xia, even if Lu Ran were allowed to use a mere level 40 Overlord, it wouldn’t have much impact on the tournament.
Lu Ran, a fourth-generation beastmaster participating in a tournament dominated by second-generation competitors, was already at a disadvantage. If they were to target him further under these circumstances, it would reflect poorly on them.
“If we restrict his familiars, Xia might just replace him last-minute, and Lu Ran could withdraw from the tournament altogether. That would be boring.”
In Alliance City, Pari, the president of the Eagle Federation Alliance, swirled his glass of red wine as he read the announcement, smiling faintly.
If the Eagle Federation targeted Lu Ran over such a minor issue, it would make it seem like they were afraid of him. Instead, allowing Lu Ran to compete without restrictions, only for him to suffer a crushing defeat during the tournament, would be far more entertaining.
Pari dialed a number located in the Other Shore and said, “Dr. Hayden, care to visit Alliance City? Xia’s challenge is coming up, and I’ve arranged quite the show. It’ll be amusing to see Lu Ran, the one who ruined the dinosaur project, humiliated.”
After a moment of silence, Dr Hayden replied, “Pari, forget it. The ancient marine life revival is at a critical stage. I can’t leave...”
