"The seal on the Well of Night has completely collapsed," the academy headmaster said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping over the four of them. "Your mission successfully prevented the spread of the Dragon Shadow, but we cannot ignore the fact that the collapse of this seal will spread to other areas."

Chu Zihang nodded calmly, his voice still as usual, "Yes, the recovery of the dragon race's power is faster than expected. The energy fluctuations at other sealing points have shown similar signs, and the same collapse may occur at any time."

Caesar leaned back in his chair and shrugged slightly. "This means the academy can no longer rely on the sealing system. We need to come up with new ways to deal with these dragons."

Although Lu Mingfei remained silent, his heart was filled with unease. He clearly realized that if even the seal could no longer suppress the dragon's power, then the battles to come would be even more brutal. And the enemy they faced was not merely a phantom of the dragon, but the boundless power of the dragon's true form after its resurgence.

The academy dean frowned, his voice low and authoritative, "We must immediately launch the 'Dragon Clan Full-Scale Confrontation Plan,' no longer relying solely on sealing. Every student must undergo comprehensive combat training to prepare for the impending war."

"A full-scale confrontation plan?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with doubt and fear.

“Yes,” the academy head said slowly, “the seal was only a tool to delay the crisis, but now the seal’s effect is gradually becoming ineffective. The power of the dragons can no longer be suppressed by the seal alone. We need more power to confront them head-on.”

Caesar smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "It seems we're finally about to break free from these sealing systems. That's great news. Fighting the dragons head-on is much more interesting than just defending."

Chu Zihang showed no emotion, simply stating calmly, "Strengthening combat training is necessary, but we need to be clear that the resurgence of the dragon race is inevitable. We must improve ourselves even faster than they do."

Tian stood to the side, remaining silent, but his gaze remained icy. He understood that the academy's plan might delay the crisis, but the true decisive force in this war still lay in the hands of a few powerful individuals. The full resurgence of the dragon race was inevitable, and whether the hybrid race's power could sustain them until the end remained an open question.

Just then, the alarm suddenly went off, shattering the tranquility of the conference room.

A professor rushed in, his face filled with anxiety. "Report! The seal on the Dawnfire has malfunctioned again! The dragon's aura is stronger than before, and it may completely spiral out of control in a short time!"

The academy dean immediately stood up, his expression serious. "This means the other sealing points are also on the verge of collapse. We have no time left."

"It seems we really will have to face the dragons head-on this time." Caesar gently raised his gun, a faint smile on his face. "I can't wait."

"Tian, ​​prepare to depart." Chu Zihang calmly issued the order, his eyes filled with strong determination. "This time, it won't just be a sealing and repair mission. We must completely destroy these resurrected dragons."

Tian nodded, a cold light flashing in his golden eyes. "This will be the only chance to end them."

The four quickly regrouped, preparing to head back to the Dawnfire to face this new battle.

Above the academy, the aura of the dragons surged ever stronger, and dark forces were converging from all directions. The collapse of the seal was only the beginning; a true war was imminent.

The Line of Death. If they can find the key runes, they can destroy this area.

"Word of Power: The Butterfly of Instant Death!"

The voice of the heavens rang out, and butterflies swirled in the air, gradually forming a huge vortex, attempting to penetrate the Dragon King's domain.

"Attack!" Chu Zihang shouted coldly, his blade pointing directly at the Dragon King's runes, attempting to destroy the flickering ancient power with all his might.

The battle intensified, and the air was thick with the scent of fire and death.

The Dragon King's roar shook the heavens and earth; its aura surged forth like a tidal wave, its immense power almost suffocating. However, the four-person team's resolve remained unwavering. They understood that only by breaking through the dragon's domain could they truly win this battle.

Every attack and every dodge was part of the life-or-death struggle.

This is not just a battle against the dragons, but also a chance to unleash one's potential and a spiritual cleansing.

During this battle, the four's tacit cooperation gradually became apparent, and they gradually found their rhythm in dealing with the dragons.

"We're almost at the core!" Tian said calmly, a glint of light shining in his golden eyes.

"Unleash your power!" Chu Zihang slashed down with his sword, targeting the core rune. The powerful force struck the rune, which immediately flashed with dazzling light, seemingly resisting Chu Zihang's attack.

"Quick! Make it unable to resist!" Tian roared in a low voice, firing the last bullet from his dual pistols, which struck the center of the rune.

"boom--!"

With a deafening roar, the runes shattered completely under the intense impact, instantly crippling the Dragon King's domain. The oppressive atmosphere began to lessen, and the black dragon shadow trembled violently under the influence of the collapsing runes.

"It's done!" Lu Mingfei cheered from the side, but then he felt the Dragon King's anger transform into an even stronger wave of energy rushing towards them.

"We need to hurry!" Chu Zihang shouted calmly, "Otherwise it will launch a full-scale counterattack!"

The battle ended, and the sealed area of ​​the Dawnfire returned to tranquility, but an undeniable sense of oppression permeated this tranquility.

The four stood beside the ruins of the sealed stone tablet. Despite having just experienced a hard-fought victory, none of them felt any relief. They knew that this Dragon King was merely the beginning, and the real crisis was far more profound than they had imagined.

Lu Mingfei slumped to the ground, panting heavily, his heart pounding as if it would burst out of his chest.

"This time... we finally survived..." He wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face still pale. Although the Dragon King had been defeated, he could still sense the lingering dragon aura in the air.

Caesar stood to the side, his gun still smoking slightly. He chuckled softly, his face still bearing that composed smile. "Not bad, but if a few more dragon kings like that come along, I don't think you'll be so lucky."

"Stop saying such scary things," Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain. "This is bad enough already, I don't want to face these monsters anymore."

Chu Zihang sheathed his sword, his face remaining as calm as ever. He gazed into the distance, as if deep in thought. "The Dragon King's power is reviving. Every victory we achieve can only temporarily delay their advance. If the academy doesn't take stronger measures immediately, there will be even more and stronger enemies next time."

Tian stood not far away, the light in his golden eyes gradually dimming. His expression remained indifferent, as if the thrilling battle just now had not affected him at all. "The resurgence of the dragon race is irreversible. The academy's sealing system has collapsed; we must find a new solution."

Suddenly, Tian's gaze shifted slightly, locking onto the remains of the sealing stone tablet.

Chu Zihang noticed his unusual behavior and followed his gaze. He saw that the cracks in the sealing stone tablet were still faintly glowing with runes. These runes were more complex than they had expected, as if they were not simply used to seal the dragons, but had a deeper meaning.

"What...is this?" Lu Mingfei leaned closer to look, his eyes full of doubt.

Caesar also came over, squatted down to examine the remaining runes closely, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "It seems that there are some secrets hidden here that the academy has not told us."

“These are not ordinary sealing runes,” Tian said coldly, a deep look in his eyes. “These runes seem to be more than just for suppressing the dragons; they are also somehow connected to the dragons’ resurgence.”

Chu Zihang's expression grew even more solemn. He reached out and gently touched the remains of the stone tablet, his fingertips faintly sensing a chilling aura emanating from the runes. This aura made him extremely uneasy, as if some immense danger lurked behind these runes.

“This might be the influence of the dragon race within the seal,” Chu Zihang said in a low voice, more questions welling up in his mind. “The dragon race is not only sealed, but may also be obtaining some kind of power through these runes.”

"Then... what does this mean?" Lu Mingfei asked blankly, clearly puzzled by the complicated situation.
