Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Although he didn't have the power of words, Lu Mingfei had comforted him before, saying that not all high-level hybrids have the power of words.

“Bloodline concentration requires complex comprehensive testing and cannot be evaluated casually. However, there are indeed two relatively convenient methods,” Susie said to Old Tang. “Generally, hybrids with high Word of Power sequences will not have low bloodlines. Only a few unlucky ones are exceptions. A high-sequence Word of Power paired with a low-level bloodline can result in them spending three days in the ICU after casting a Word of Power.”

"Old Tang, what kind of Word of Power do you have? Let me check the sequence for you." Susie opened her laptop.

“Uh…” Old Tang was a little embarrassed, “I don’t have the power of words.”

Without the power of words, aren't you just a useless person? It's the same principle as the wizards in Harry Potter who can't cast spells being called "squibs."

Susie swallowed her complaint—she wanted to save face for Old Tang.

"Hmm... there are examples of people with high bloodlines but no incantations." Susie comforted Old Tang verbally, but thought to herself that she only knew one such example.

“Besides the Word of Power sequence, there is another relatively reliable way to determine bloodline, which is to observe the reaction of hybrids to the curse ‘Emperor’,” Susie said.

"Emperor? Isn't that a Sequence 1 Word of Power?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously, "Senior Sister, you have this Word of Power?"

“This isn’t a Word of Power, it’s the incantation of the Word of Power ‘Emperor.’ An incantation is the dragon script chanted by a hybrid when releasing a Word of Power. Each Word of Power corresponds to a specific incantation. Usually, if you don’t have the corresponding Word of Power, chanting the incantation won’t have any effect. But ‘Emperor’ is an exception. Any hybrid who chants this incantation will be able to trigger different degrees of effect depending on their bloodline,” Susie explained.

“Legend has it that when the Black King releases this Word of Power, all the dragons will prostrate themselves before him, except for the White King who can still stand and the four monarchs who only need to bow,” Susie said. “Generally, the higher the bloodline of a hybrid, the stronger the feeling of this Word of Power. When a hybrid like me releases it, it will not make people want to submit, but high-ranking hybrids will still feel a unique sensation in their hearts.”

“Come on, Old Tang, I’ll recite the incantation once, and you can carefully feel if there are any changes in your mindset,” Susie said.

“Okay!” Old Tang stood up straight and walked to Su Qian. His face was a mixture of solemnity and trepidation, like a eunuch preparing to be castrated before entering the palace.

Susie also stood up from the sofa, walked to Old Tang, and took a deep breath.

As Lu Mingfei watched, a string of solemn and ancient dragon language burst forth from Susie's mouth. It was an unimaginable way of speaking, with a hoarse and husky voice that carried a kingly majesty, like the tolling of church bells.

He had no reaction at all, only that Susie's voice was very nice and that she would be a great singer of bel canto.

But the next second, Old Tang suddenly let out a wail and knelt down on the ground. Not only did his elbows and knees hit the ground, but his forehead also hit the floor with a loud "thud".

If we were to describe his current state using a Chinese idiom, it would be "to prostrate himself in admiration."

"Holy crap!" Lu Mingfei was startled by Lao Tang's violent reaction and stood up from the sofa at the same time as Chu Zihang.

Susie was startled and instinctively stopped chanting the dragon script.

Old Tang, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled and fell to the side.

Lu Mingfei rushed over to help him up: "Old Tang, I know you really want a high bloodline, but you don't have to pretend so hard... Holy crap!"

Before his hand could even touch Old Tang, he saw Old Tang tremblingly open his eyes, his pair of dazzling golden pupils churning like magma, as if trying to pierce and melt everything in sight.

"Holy crap! Old Tang! You've super evolved!"

Lu Mingfei exclaimed in surprise.

This chapter is 5,000 words long. Also, I deliberately changed two characters in Morgan's full name; it wasn't a typo, sob sob~

90. Chapter 89 Action

Hotel, Lu Mingfei's room.

Old Tang was helped to sit on the sofa by Lu Mingfei. Although the light in his golden eyes was no longer as brilliant as it was at the beginning, it was still far superior to that of most mixed-race people.

"Holy crap, Lao Tang, what's going on with you?" Lu Mingfei asked in surprise.

After a moment, Old Tang finally spoke, "When I heard those words just now, I suddenly felt my head burning and throbbing. It felt like a crack had suddenly opened up in my brain, and magma was gushing out. I could vaguely hear some sounds..."

"Then I subconsciously collapsed, and when the burning sensation in my brain subsided, I became like this." Old Tang took the mirror Susie handed him and examined his brand-new 24K gold eyes.

“Hmm… The Emperor’s Word of Power can indeed be used to guide certain high-ranking hybrids to awaken their dragon bloodline because of its appeal to hybrids,” Susie said. “The higher the hybrid’s bloodline, the easier it is for them to awaken. Most of the time, the academy will play a long passage of dragon language for newly enrolled students during the 3E exam. This passage of dragon language is specifically used to guide hybrids to develop spiritual vision, and then awaken their bloodline and Word of Power.”

“But a few hybrids with exceptionally strong bloodlines can awaken their bloodline even with the slightest stimulation. Some people awaken their bloodline before even enrolling,” Susie said. “For example, the president and Lu Mingfei both awakened their dragon bloodline on their own before enrolling.”

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "The thrill I experienced was no small thing. I was riddled with bullets by terrorists."

Unbeknownst to him, similar thoughts were also surfacing in Chu Zihang's mind.

“It seems that you originally had a very high bloodline, but it was not fully awakened,” Susie said. “Now, under the stimulation of the ‘Emperor,’ your bloodline has been fully activated.”

"Really!" Old Tang's eyes lit up.

"Judging from the current situation, you are at least an A-level hybrid," Susie said. "And after your complete awakening just now, you should already possess the Word of Power. The Word of Power of hybrids is an instinct engraved in their bloodline. Even if they don't use it after awakening, they will have a general understanding of their abilities. What is the effect of your Word of Power? Let me check which Word of Power it is for you."

Old Tang suddenly fell silent.

"What's wrong, Lao Tang?" Lu Mingfei asked. "Why are you silent again?"

"I..." Old Tang said with a mournful face, "Would you believe me if I said I still don't have the power of words?"

Lu Mingfei and the other two: ...

……

Old Tang's situation was truly unique, and even Chu Zihang and Su Xi, two professionals, couldn't explain it—especially since, as students, their expertise was quite limited.

So Lu Mingfei and the other two could only offer a few words of comfort to Lao Tang and then wait patiently for the academy's response.

“I’ve got it,” Susie said, staring at her laptop. “The Academy has given us a new mission: to find evidence of human trafficking by Solomon’s Temple branch and submit it to the Academy. Right now, the only evidence we have is the Salvador family’s side of the story, which is far from enough to convict the Solomon’s Temple of crimes. We need to find more compelling evidence.”

“Wait a minute,” Lu Mingfei raised his hand, “The Solomon Temple is clearly a dangerous organization right now. Shouldn’t the academy be sending reinforcements to us at this time?”

"Reinforcements?" Susie paused for a few seconds, then pointed at Lu Mingfei. "S-rank."

Lu Mingfei was confused.

Then she pointed at Chu Zihang: "Super A-level."

Chu Zihang remained silent.

Finally, she pointed to herself: "Grade A."

Lu Mingfei seemed to understand.

“For the original task of being supervisors and representatives of the academy, the three of us were far beyond the standard,” Susie explained. “Originally, only the president should have come, but as a student representative, it was reasonable for him to request an assistant to accompany him, so I was brought along as well.”

"Then the president applied to the academy to bring you along as well. This was also against the rules and exceeded the president's authority, but since you are an S-rank, it was acceptable to make a small exception for you, so you were brought along as well," Susie said.

"Considering that although you are S-rank, you have only just awakened and have not yet enrolled to receive professional training, so we will tentatively classify you as B+. Even so, including the president, who is a super A-rank, the three of us are equivalent to a three-person A-rank elite team. Generally speaking, teams of this level are the vanguard in dragon-slaying operations."

"Therefore, the strength of our team of three has far exceeded the standard. Even if the mission has now become the more difficult task of finding evidence, the three of us have only gone from 'seriously over the standard' to 'slightly over the standard'. Unless the academy changes the mission to have us wipe out the branch temple here, we can forget about reinforcements."

Lu Mingfei blinked, forced to accept the reality that they probably wouldn't receive any reinforcements.

"Besides, if we really want to talk about it, don't we have reinforcements?" Susie looked at Old Tang with a smile.

"Me?" Old Tang was taken aback.

Before Lao Tang could say anything, the sound of turning the handle suddenly came from the door of the suite.

Susie immediately closed her laptop.

Old Tang blinked, his golden eyes turning back to their harmless black—although he was usually a bit comical, as a seasoned hunter, Old Tang's adaptability was undoubtedly reliable.

The door was turned open, and Su Xiaoqiang stormed in, then exclaimed in surprise, "Senior brothers and sisters? What are you all doing here?"

“Uh…” Lu Mingfei blinked. “We are having an academic exchange.”

“I can understand senior students doing academic exchanges, but you’re doing academic exchanges too?” Su Xiaoqiang looked Lu Mingfei up and down.

“I’ll serve tea and snacks to my senior brothers and sisters,” Lu Mingfei said, taking out the cookie he had earlier and handing it to Susie with both hands. “Here, senior sister, have some snacks.”

Susie: ...

Just as she was about to take it, Lu Mingfei quickly withdrew his hand: "I almost forgot, Senior Sister Su is on a diet and doesn't eat sweets."

Susie: ...

Even though she was usually gentle and tolerant, Susie couldn't help but feel an urge to crack open Lu Mingfei's skull at this moment.

"We've finished our discussion, let's head back now," Chu Zihang suddenly said.

"Huh?" Susie was taken aback.

Chu Zihang had already stood up: "Let's go."

Susie had no choice but to get up as well.

But Chu Zihang didn't leave immediately. Instead, he lowered his head, turned, and looked at Old Tang, who was still sitting there: "Together?"

Old Tang was puzzled and subconsciously wanted to ask, "Why did you ask me to come along when you're just leaving?"

But when he met Chu Zihang's calm gaze, he subconsciously shrank back, immediately got up, and followed Chu Zihang and Su Qian away.

……

In Lu Mingfei's room.

"Little Fairy, where did you go yesterday?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

Yesterday, I didn't see the Little Celestial Maiden at the old clan chief's house. Although the old clan chief didn't explain, I could roughly guess that the Little Celestial Maiden and her mother must have been sent to a safe place.

"Don't even mention it. Yesterday, my grandpa said that an old friend of his was putting on a musical and insisted that my mom and my aunt take me with them to support him. But after driving for several hours, when we finally arrived, the musical was postponed. My mom and my aunt made me stay in the hotel all day."

Su Xiaoqiang complained, "I was planning to send you... a text message, but for some reason my phone has no signal all day, and the computer in the hotel can't connect to the internet either."

Su Xiaoqiang didn't know what was going on, but Lu Mingfei did. It was obvious that the old clan leader was trying to protect them.

However, now that the old patriarch has allowed the little fairy to come and find them, from a certain perspective, it can be considered that he has already trusted them to some extent.

“Oh right, this is a photo of me with my cousins ​​Elena and Amber. It was taken when my cousin Amber and I went to visit my cousin Elena who was practicing dance,” Su Xiaoqiang said, pulling a small photo out of her pocket. “Come on, look at my two cousins, they are both great beauties!”

Finally, Su Xiaoqiang added, "Hmph, let's see if you still dare to say we have a fake sisterhood!"

"You two definitely don't have a fake sisterhood; this is at least a rock-solid sisterhood," Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow as he took the photo.

In the photo, three girls are standing together, smiling brightly. Two of the girls are dressed casually, while the tallest of the three is wearing a white ballet dress, standing gracefully like an elegant white swan.

Elena was the assistant to the branch hall master, and Amber was Old Tang's target, which was not unexpected for Lu Mingfei.

but……

“Little Fairy, are you sure this is your cousin?” Lu Mingfei pointed at the girl in the photo wearing a ballet dress.

“Yes, this is my cousin Elena, whom I told you about. She’s a really nice person, but unfortunately you probably won’t have a chance to meet her this time,” Su Xiaoqiang said. “And there’s my cousin Amber. She’s not very talkative, but she’s very knowledgeable. She’s currently studying archaeology at Cambridge University and is the star of the school’s diving club. I heard that she has suitors all the way to Oxford University.”

"Hmm..." Lu Mingfei rubbed his chin. "Little Fairy, do you think it's possible, I mean, this possibility, that your cousin once had plans to have plastic surgery?"

"Huh?!" Su Xiaoqiang's eyebrows shot up. "You mean to say my cousin is ugly?!"
