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

"This guy is definitely not an ordinary dragon!" Tian said through gritted teeth, firing another blue beam from his rune gun.

Caesar and Chu Zihang exchanged a glance and quickly split up, each approaching the remaining members of the Camarilla. Chu Zihang's Dragon Cleaver flashed with a cold light, precisely severing one of the rune-wielding men's staff, while Caesar used his rune-wielding sword to force another man to retreat step by step.

"Retreat!" the leader of the Camarilla members roared in a low voice. He slammed his rune staff into the ground, unleashing a powerful energy wave that sent Caesar and Chu Zihang staggering back several steps. In that instant, their figures transformed into a black mist and vanished swiftly into the ruins of the stone tower.

"They've run away!" the weather cried out in a panic.

Chu Zihang frowned as he looked at the gradually dimming rune light on the ground and said coldly, "They're not the main problem. The real trouble is underground."

Just as he was about to approach the crevice, Xia Mi suddenly strode forward, grabbed his arm, and said with unusual urgency, "Don't come any closer!"

Chu Zihang turned to look at her, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Why?"

Xia Mi's gaze was deep and complex. She said in a low voice, "What is sealed there is more dangerous than you think. If you act impulsively now, you will only make things worse."

Chu Zihang stared at her, his gaze calm yet sharp: "You know what this is, right?"

Xia Mi didn't answer directly. Instead, she slowly released his hand, turned to look at the crack, and said in a low voice, "Whatever it is, it's best not to touch it now... That's my only advice." She paused, a smile playing on her lips, but one tinged with an indescribable heaviness. "Unless you really want to see if this ruin can withstand a release of the Dragon King's will."

Chu Zihang's gaze sharpened slightly, and his fingers tightened slightly around the Dragon Cutter. He stared at Xia Mi for a moment, as if trying to read more from her expression, but behind her seemingly relaxed smile lay a completely unfathomable depth.

Caesar walked over, carrying his rune sword, and pointed the tip of the sword into the depths of the crack, his tone nonchalant: "The Dragon King's will? That's quite interesting. Xia Mi, don't you know a bit too much?"

Xia Mi turned to look at Caesar, her smile still sweet: "Yes, I do know a lot. Isn't it because I love reading and learning?"

“Your studies are really beyond the curriculum.” Caesar narrowed his eyes, staring at her with a half-smile. “If you weren’t one of us, I would really think you were a spy sent from somewhere else.”

Xia Mi smiled, not refuting, but gently turned to look at the crack, her tone suddenly becoming low: "If you really want to open this place, the consequences will be more than you can bear."

"Enough." Chu Zihang interrupted their conversation, his tone icy. "Now is not the time to doubt each other. Xia Mi, since you know it's dangerous, then explain clearly what this place is."

Xia Mi's gaze lingered on the surging red light within the crack, and she remained silent for a moment. Her expression was composed, but a complex emotion flashed in her eyes before she spoke softly, "This is a seal. The will of one of the Dragon Kings is suppressed here, but clearly, its power has gradually leaked out. The Secret Society doesn't want to break it, but rather to exploit it—to exploit its power."

"Use it?" Tian frowned, his grip on the rune gun tightening unconsciously. "Can they control something like this?"

“They can’t control it.” Xia Mi shook her head slightly, a hint of sarcasm in her tone. “But not being able to control it doesn’t mean it can’t be used for destruction. They know very well that once this will is fully released, it will bring unimaginable destruction. They’re just betting that they can profit from it before it’s destroyed.”

Caesar let out a cold laugh: "So, the Camarilla are so foolish as to play with fire like gambling?"

“They’ve always been like this,” Chu Zihang said in a low voice, his gaze deep. “But the question now is, how long can this seal last?”

Xia Mi gently raised her hand, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and said calmly, "If there's no external interference, it should last for a while longer. But if you mess with it again..." She paused, then slightly raised the corners of her mouth, adding in a light tone, "It might collapse in less than five minutes."

Chu Zihang's brows furrowed even more. He looked back at the crack; the surging red light seemed alive, carrying a wild, untamed energy. His intuition told him that he absolutely could not act rashly here.

"Then what do we do?" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but ask, his voice trembling with obvious tension. He glanced at the crack, then at Chu Zihang, clearly at a loss.

“The seal won’t collapse for now, but we can’t risk leaving any loopholes,” Chu Zihang said in a deep voice. “Let’s go back to the academy first, report the situation here to Angers, and let the academy decide on the next course of action.”

"Just leave like that?" Caesar raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat displeased. "Don't you think this is a good opportunity? With the Camarilla gone, we can conduct a more thorough investigation."

“We are not them,” Chu Zihang said coldly. “Touching this place is not just an investigation, it’s playing with fire.”

Caesar shrugged and said lazily, "Fine, you're the captain, so you call the shots. But if that old man Angers finds out, he'll most likely make us come back to wade into this mess again."

Tian looked at the crack, then at Chu Zihang, and nodded, saying, "I agree with Chu Zihang's decision. The danger here is beyond our capabilities, so let's not force it."

Chu Zihang didn't say anything more. He withdrew the Dragon Slayer sword and turned to look at Xia Mi: "You'll come back with us. Since you know so much, you can explain it to the academy."

Xia Mi smiled slightly, a fleeting emotion flashing in her eyes: "Of course, I'm your teammate, of course we'll go together."

The group quickly packed their gear and prepared to leave the ruins. Lu Mingfei brought up the rear, glancing back every now and then at the crack flashing red light, his unease growing. He wanted to say something, but ultimately chose silence, simply quickening his pace to catch up with the group.

Xia Mi, walking in the group, always had a faint smile on her lips. Her gaze lingered on Chu Zihang's back for a moment before she casually looked away.

Just as they were about to step out of the ruins, a deep rumble suddenly came from the crack, as if something was awakening. The dragon aura in the air suddenly became stronger, as if a sleeping beast had opened its eyes and was watching them leave.

"Speed ​​up," Chu Zihang said coldly, gripping the Dragon Cutter tightly and scanning his surroundings warily.

Xia Mi didn't speak again, but simply lowered her head and sighed softly, a dark and complex light flashing in her eyes.

A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air; the dense dragon aura seemed like an invisible eye, watching their every move. Chu Zihang quickened his pace, keeping the Dragon Cutter firmly in his hand, ready to deal with any sudden danger.

Caesar, carrying the runic sword, maintained a relaxed posture, but his gaze frequently swept towards the depths of the ruins. He whispered, "What did you think that sound was? Has the Dragon King's will been awakened?"

"Uncertain." Chu Zihang didn't turn around, his tone calm as usual, "But whatever it is, it shows that the seal here is losing its effectiveness."

"This is terrible," Tian muttered from the side, his rune gun constantly charging. "Why do I always have to run into these kinds of problems?"

“This is what we do.” Caesar sneered, then turned to look at Lu Mingfei. “Hey, how are you? Don’t let your legs go weak again.”

Lu Mingfei swallowed hard, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "Who said I'm scared? I... I was just wondering... will that Dragon King really come out?"

Caesar shrugged and said lazily, "That depends on our luck. If it comes out, we'll probably become the main course for the dragons' dinner."

"Don't scare him." Xia Mi stepped forward from behind, gently patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, and wore her usual smile. "Lu is an important member of our team, how can we let him run away?"

Lu Mingfei forced a dry smile: "I wasn't scared away..."

Xia Mi didn't say anything more, just smiled, then turned her gaze to Chu Zihang in front of her: "Chu Zihang, are we really going to go straight back to the academy now? The situation here could easily get out of control at any moment."

Chu Zihang nodded, his gaze still sharp: "The more this is the case, the less we can take risks. The academy has enough power to handle this; our mission is to bring the intelligence back."
