Transmigrating into a dragon clan experimental subject, is that even possible?

Caesar and Chu Zihang quickly positioned themselves on either side of the crystal array, preparing to destroy the nodes, while Tian and Lu Mingfei were scattered on the other two sides, their sharp eyes scanning the surroundings, ready to respond to any possible counterattack.

"Everyone, get ready! Destroy it in one strike!" Tian ordered in a deep voice. The four men simultaneously raised their weapons, preparing to attack their respective target nodes.

Just as they were about to destroy the node, the crystal array suddenly emitted a piercing low hum, the entire cave began to shake violently, and the runes on the ground flickered wildly, as if foreshadowing the awakening of some power. The dragon aura permeating the air suddenly intensified, as if countless eyes were staring at them from the darkness, filled with a cold and furious intent to destroy everything.

Suddenly, a dark shadow emerged from the crystal array, gradually coalescing into a physical phantom of a dragon. Its scales were a deep, fiery red, and its eyes were bloodshot. With an undeniable air of majesty and fury, it roared as it lunged at the four. The enormous dragon phantom exuded a powerful oppressive force, as if it had taken over the entire cave, bringing a suffocating sense of dread.

"Be careful! This is the true physical projection of the dragon!" Tian calmly warned, quickly opening fire in an attempt to use firepower to restrain the dragon shadow's offensive.

Caesar cocked both pistols, bullets raining down on the dragon phantom. The bullets sparked as they struck the scales, but caused no real damage. The dragon phantom roared, its claws lashing out at Caesar with devastating force.

Caesar quickly retreated, dodging the fatal blow, and sneered, "This guy's defense is even stronger than that phantom from before. It seems the Hermes family has put in a lot of effort."

Chu Zihang calmly analyzed the dragon shadow's movements, searching for its weaknesses. Although the dragon shadow had extremely high defense, its movements were clearly restricted by the crystal array, preventing it from completely escaping the array's range.

"Attack its chest; that's the energy core." Chu Zihang calmly analyzed the situation while wielding his sword in defense, rapidly approaching the core of the dragon shadow.

Lu Mingfei silently used his Word of Power to create illusory images, attempting to disrupt Long Ying's vision and create opportunities for his teammates to attack. His hands trembled slightly, but he tried his best to remain calm and joined his teammates in launching a counterattack.

The four-person team engaged in a fierce battle with the dragon phantoms within the cave, each member giving their all and daring not to relax for a moment. The dragon phantoms' attacks were ferocious and swift, each strike carrying a powerful sense of oppression, as if to tear them to shreds. However, the four's tacit cooperation and precise attacks gradually allowed them to find their rhythm and steadily approach the core of the crystal array.

Finally, under the relentless onslaught of the four, the dragon's movements gradually slowed, and cracks appeared on its scales, as if its power was nearing its limit. Tian seized the opportunity, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light, and he swiftly aimed his twin pistols at the dragon's core, precisely pulling the trigger.

With a deafening explosion, the dragon phantom let out a defiant roar in the air before dissipating into countless black dust particles. The light of the crystal array dimmed instantly, the energy fluctuations gradually subsided, and tranquility returned to the cave.

The four-person team stood before the ruins of the crystal array, finally letting out a sigh of relief. Despite successfully destroying the core node, fatigue and tension still lingered among them. The dragon aura that permeated the air gradually dissipated, and the cave returned to silence, as if the battle had been nothing more than a brief nightmare. However, everyone knew in their hearts that the real crisis was far from over; the Hermes family had deployed more resurrection nodes in other parts of the world.

Tian slowly sheathed his twin pistols, his gaze sweeping over his surroundings with a grave expression. He knew their mission was far from over; this was merely a small victory in their struggle against the Hermes family. His golden eyes flickered slightly, calm yet sharp: "This is just the beginning. The Hermes family has many more nodes scattered across the globe. We must return to the academy to report this situation and plan our next move as soon as possible."

Chu Zihang nodded slightly, the lingering warmth of the battle still present on the blade he gripped tightly. The power of the dragon phantom he had just witnessed had shown him the true threat of the dragon resurgence plan. He took a deep breath and said coldly, "The Hermes family is clearly more powerful than we imagined; they possess far more dragon power than Kassel College. We must race against time."

Caesar looked around the cave, his brow furrowing slightly, and a rare serious expression appeared on his usually unruly face: "These guys obviously won't give up easily. It seems we'll have a lot to do next."

Lu Mingfei stood beside them, his heart filled with exhaustion, but he knew he couldn't show any sign of wavering. He nodded silently, his grip on his weapon gradually steadying. This battle had given him a clearer understanding of the terrifying power of the dragons, and within him, an unwavering sense of determination gradually ignited, as if he had finally found his place.

Just as the four were about to leave the cave, Norma's communication suddenly broke the brief silence. "Please note, newly received global surveillance data shows that extreme energy fluctuations have occurred simultaneously at several key nodes in North America, Asia, and Antarctica, with very clear signs of resurgence. The energy fluctuations of the dragon race in these regions have reached a dangerous level."

Tian quickly regained his composure and looked sharply at his teammates: "It seems that the Hermes family has already taken coordinated action at key points around the world. We must return to the academy as soon as possible and formulate a comprehensive battle plan."

Caesar chuckled softly, a slight smile playing on his lips: "It seems they want to keep us on our toes, and even destroy the academy's defenses ahead of time."

Chu Zihang looked calmly and firmly at his three teammates, and said indifferently, "No matter how meticulous their plan is, as long as we are calm and determined enough, we will definitely find a breakthrough."

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and nodded, a new belief gradually emerging in his mind. Faced with the impending global crisis, he was no longer merely someone to be protected, but had taken on his own responsibilities.

The four quickly evacuated the cave and headed in the direction the aircraft had returned. In the night sky, the starlight was faint and cold, as if silently witnessing the storm that was about to sweep the globe. Their hearts were filled with unease, but also with a resolute determination: no matter how many dangers lay ahead, they would face them together, protecting Kassel College and the world.

As the aircraft took off again, the four-person team sped through the silent night sky, returning at full speed towards Kassel College.

Upon returning to Kassel College, the four were immediately summoned by the college's operations command. The crimson map and the dangers at various locations clearly indicated that an impending crisis was imminent.

The four-man squad stood in the center of the command center. Angers' deep gaze swept over them one by one, his eyes revealing an undisguised heaviness and resolve. He knew this battle would be the greatest challenge they had ever faced, perhaps even a turning point in the fate of the entire academy. Each of them burned with determination and fighting spirit, but Angers knew in his heart that these young men were about to face far more than ordinary enemies. Taking a deep breath, Angers slowly spoke:

Angers: "In this mission, each of your abilities and will will be put to an unprecedented test. The Hermes family has mobilized their strongest forces globally; clearly, they are disregarding the consequences. You will not only have to quickly destroy these nodes, but also face their core elite forces. The Academy will do everything in its power to support you, but the final victory will depend entirely on your strength."

Chu Zihang nodded slightly, his gaze sharp as a knife: "Dean, we will go all out. The risks of this operation and their strength are enormous pressures for us, but we will not back down." His tone was firm, his eyes burning with a calm fighting spirit, as unshakable as steel.

Tian calmly watched the large screen in the command center, the light in his golden eyes cold and sharp: "The Hermes family's plan is more complex than ever before. We may be facing not just a single rune array, but a complex defense system. They will anticipate our possible routes of action and may set up layers of defenses and traps near the nodes."

Angers nodded slightly and continued, "Your analysis is correct. According to intelligence, the Hermes family has not only deployed runes and guards in the nodes, but may also have set up dragon seals and resurrection devices in key locations. This means that you will not only have to face their elite forces, but also confront the will of the dragons head-on."

Caesar crossed his arms, a hint of a cold smile in his eyes, and said casually, "Sounds complicated enough, but that's exactly the kind of challenge I like." He looked at Angers, a confident smile curving his lips, "Don't worry, Dean, this time I'll show them the true power of Kassel College."

Lu Mingfei stood silently to the side, listening to his teammates' conversation. The tension in his heart was gradually suppressed by Angers' words. He knew clearly that the difficulty of this mission far exceeded that of the past, and the enemies and crises he faced were unprecedented. He stared at the screen in the command center, where the global nodes flashed a blinding red, as if the whole world was waiting for their attack. He gripped his weapon tightly and took a deep breath.
