Transmigrating into a dragon clan experimental subject, is that even possible?
Chapter 13 Be prepared
"Finally... it's over." Lu Mingfei gasped for breath, his eyes filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.
Tian slowly sheathed his twin pistols, and his golden eyes gradually returned to normal. He didn't say much, but simply stood quietly in place, as if deep in thought.
Chu Zihang sheathed his knife, his expression still cold and stern, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. "This is just the beginning."
Caesar chuckled softly, his gaze sweeping across the now tranquil forest. "Yes, it seems the enemy we face is more complex than we imagined."
The forest of dawn returned to a brief period of calm, and the dragon aura that had permeated the air gradually dissipated, as if the fierce battle that had just taken place was merely an illusory dream.
The four stood still. Although the remnant soul of the dragon had been defeated, each of them knew in their hearts that this battle was by no means the end, but rather the prelude to the coming storm.
Lu Mingfei was still panting, his legs a little weak; the shockwave had almost made him lose his footing. He looked up at the sky and saw that the white-haired boy's face remained expressionless, as if the life-or-death struggle had had no effect on him whatsoever.
"My God, you're amazing... If you hadn't activated your Word of Power in time, we probably would have been swallowed by that thing long ago," Lu Mingfei said, panting heavily, feeling both grateful and awe.
The sky did not respond; his gaze remained fixed on the lingering black aura on the ground. Although the remnant soul of the dragon had been destroyed, he could sense a dangerous force still lurking in the shadows.
Chu Zihang also noticed this and said coldly, "Although the crisis has been temporarily resolved, the power of the dragon race has not completely disappeared. This aura should not be here; there may be a problem with the academy's seal."
Caesar gently patted Chu Zihang's shoulder, a faint smile on his lips. "The loosening of the seal may only be the beginning. The academy will face no shortage of troubles ahead."
Hearing this, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but feel a chill. "You mean... this might just be the beginning?"
“Yes,” Tian replied coldly. Although the light in his golden eyes had faded, his vigilance remained. “The power of the dragons will continue to recover; we can only slow down their progress.”
Lu Mingfei swallowed hard. Although he was still uneasy, he knew he had no choice. In this academy, every student had to learn to face the threat of the dragons.
A moment later, the four began their return to Kassel College.
The atmosphere was unusually heavy throughout the journey, and no one spoke. Although the morning fire in the forest had died down, the lingering sense of danger remained like a persistent shadow, hanging over everyone's hearts.
Inside the conference room of Kassel College, the college's higher-ups had already learned of the unusual activity of the Dawnfire, and the college dean and other professors were urgently discussing how to deal with the collapse of the seal.
Chu Zihang and Caesar stood to one side, reporting what they had seen and heard to the academy's higher-ups. Lu Mingfei stood at the back, looking somewhat nervous. Although he didn't like participating in such formal occasions, this situation was extraordinary.
"Based on our assessment, the power of the dragon race is reviving from the seal at the academy," Chu Zihang stated calmly. "Although the seal on the Dawn Flame has been temporarily stabilized, there is no guarantee that it won't go out of control again."
“The academy needs to strengthen the protection of the seal.” Caesar picked up the conversation, his tone still somewhat relaxed, but a hint of worry appeared in his eyes. “Otherwise, if a similar situation occurs again, it probably won’t be so easy to resolve.”
Lu Mingfei stood to the side and couldn't help but steal a glance at Tian. Since returning to the academy, Tian hadn't said a word. His face still wore that unfathomable, indifferent expression, as if everything in the academy was irrelevant to him.
"Heavens..." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Do you think... the academy can handle the dangers ahead?"
Tian's gaze remained fixed on the conference table. He gently shook his head, his voice low yet carrying an undeniable resolve: "The academy is merely a temporary barrier; the real danger comes from the outside world. The seal can only delay the dragon race's revival, not stop it."
Lu Mingfei was stunned, a heavy feeling rising in his heart. Although he knew Tian's judgment was always accurate, hearing these words still made him feel a sense of despair.
"So...we ultimately can't stop the dragons from reviving?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself, as if trying to convince himself to accept this cruel reality.
The sky did not answer, standing silently in place, as if it had seen through everything.
A few days later, daily life at Kassel College returned to normal.
Although the crisis of the Dawnfire has been temporarily averted, the students in the academy still harbor a deep fear of that mysterious forest. While the dragon's aura has been suppressed, that unusual activity has served as a wake-up call for everyone.
Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Caesar, and Tian returned to their daily training. Although the academy's higher-ups did not offer much explanation regarding the sealing issue, they knew in their hearts that the real threat was far from over.
On this day, the four of them gathered at the training ground once again.
Lu Mingfei stood at the edge of the training field, hands on his hips, a bitter smile on his face. "This training is just endless... When will I ever escape this fate?"
Caesar leaned back casually, hands in his pockets, a hint of teasing in his eyes. "Don't complain, Lu Mingfei. Compared to dealing with the dragons, daily training is the easiest part."
“That’s true…” Lu Mingfei scratched his head helplessly, “but every time I finish training, I feel like I’m about to be completely drained.”
Chu Zihang didn't say much, but stood aside, calmly observing the situation on the training field. His gaze remained as sharp as an eagle's, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.
Tian remained as indifferent as ever. He stood behind them, his gaze fixed on the distant sky, as if deep in thought. Since the Dawnfire incident, his attitude had become even more aloof, and he almost never initiated conversations with anyone.
"Tian, are you thinking about the Dawnfire incident?" Lu Mingfei asked tentatively.
Tian turned his head, his gaze still icy. "The threat of the dragons has never gone away. You'd better be prepared."
A sense of tension filled the air once again. Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, then smiled. "Alright... it seems I really have to get used to facing these things."
In the forest of dawn's fire, the morning breeze carried a hint of coolness as the four-person team walked slowly, the fallen leaves rustling softly beneath their feet.
The sky gradually brightened, but their hearts remained heavy. The legend of the Dawnfire and the resurgence of dragon power made this forest exceptionally dangerous. Their steps were heavy, yet unwavering, their hearts filled with vigilance and determination in the face of the unknown.
"Can you feel it?" Lu Mingfei broke the silence first, asking in a low voice, "The atmosphere in this forest... feels like it's being watched by something."
Caesar chuckled softly, his tone still relaxed, but his gaze remained fixed on the surroundings. "Of course, the aura of the dragons still lingers here. With every step, we are getting closer to its center."
Chu Zihang walked at the front of the group, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, vigilantly scanning his surroundings. He could feel a faint vibration in the air, as if some power deep within the earth was slowly awakening.
"Everyone be careful. Any slight movement could be a manifestation of the dragon's power," Chu Zihang warned, his voice low and calm.
Tian Ze remained silent, walking behind them, a cold glint flashing in his golden eyes. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his nerves were constantly on edge, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
Suddenly, a deep humming sound came from the depths of the forest, as if some great power was slowly awakening in the darkness.
"Did you hear that?" Lu Mingfei immediately stopped, his eyes widening in alarm. "That's... the voice of a dragon?"
Chu Zihang gripped the knife in his hand, frowning slightly. "No, it's just energy fluctuations. But that means we're getting closer to some powerful source."
Caesar smiled slightly, a confident curve appearing at the corner of his mouth. "It seems our mission has made new progress. I wonder what kind of 'surprise' we'll be facing this time."
Tian calmly looked ahead, a sharp glint in his eyes, and said, "Continue forward."
They continued forward, moving quickly in the direction of the sound.
