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

The Dragon King's dark domain expanded further, the energy fluctuations in the air grew stronger, and the surrounding scenery distorted like a nightmare.

Every step seemed incredibly difficult. Chu Zihang's blade remained swift, but he also sensed the Dragon King's power steadily increasing. "We can't delay any longer!" he whispered, his eyes fixed on the Dragon King's chest, where the core of the runes was located.

He quickened his pace, charging towards the Dragon King amidst the onrushing tentacles and dark currents. His blade flashed in the darkness, carrying a thunderous force as it aimed directly at the Dragon King's runic core. Each step was accompanied by immense impact; the air seemed to crackle with electricity, and the corrosive black mist threatened to burn away every inch of his skin.

Just as Chu Zihang was about to approach the core of the rune, the Dragon King suddenly roared, and dark tentacles erupted with immense power around him, forming a corrosive barrier that blocked his advance.

Chu Zihang's blade slashed at the barrier, producing a piercing clang, but the corrosive force created immense resistance. The barrier seemed like an invisible wall, blocking his advance.

"It's protecting the rune core; the barrier's power is too strong!" Chu Zihang said through gritted teeth, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Tian acted swiftly, aiming his dual pistols precisely at the weak points of the barrier and firing continuously in an attempt to weaken its strength.

"Continue the attack, we must break through its defenses!" Tian said coldly, the light in his golden eyes growing even sharper.

Caesar quickly provided support from the side, raining bullets at the Dragon King's scales and barriers in an attempt to divert the Dragon King's attention.

He skillfully dodged the Dragon King's counterattacks, maintaining high-speed movement at all times, while the gunfire never ceased.

Lu Mingfei watched all this anxiously from a distance. Although he felt extremely nervous, he knew that this was a critical moment.

"Nidhogg's Dream!" he shouted, and the black dream energy rapidly expanded, drawing in more corrosive energy in an attempt to weaken the Dragon King's defensive barrier. Although the power of the dream couldn't completely destroy the barrier, it successfully slowed its recovery, buying time for his teammates.

"Now!" Chu Zihang suddenly unleashed a powerful burst of strength, and the blade slashed at the barrier once more.

As Tianhe and Caesar continued firing their bullets, and Lu Mingfei's dream-like energy continued to suppress them, the barrier finally cracked. Chu Zihang seized the opportunity, his blade cleaving through the barrier and piercing directly at the Dragon King's rune core.

As the blade pierced precisely into the core of the rune, the Dragon King's body suddenly froze, letting out a deafening roar, and the entire domain began to tremble violently.

The power of the runes began to crumble rapidly, and the Dragon King's body began to disintegrate. The corrosive aura dissipated, the dark tentacles gradually retreated, and the massive dragon body crashed to the ground, emitting its final lament.

Caesar let out a long breath, relaxed his shoulders, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and a smile appeared on his lips: "This battle was quite exciting."

He walked toward the fallen Dragon King, a hint of barely perceptible excitement in his eyes. "I knew it. It's nothing special."

Lu Mingfei was still panting, his heart was still beating fast, but he had finally calmed down.

As the Dragon King's body collapsed completely, the corrosive air currents gradually dissipated, the dark domain ceased to expand, and the entire "Shadow Abyss" returned to a brief period of tranquility.

Although the four-man team successfully destroyed the Dragon King's rune core, everyone was nearing their physical limits. Gasps echoed around them, the afterglow of victory mingling with exhaustion, the air heavy with the weight of post-battle fatigue.

"We succeeded." Chu Zihang sheathed his blade, exhaled, his eyes still sharp, but one could see that he was slightly tired.

He looked up at the Dragon King's massive body, confirming that its power had been completely shattered. Although the Dragon King's threat had been eliminated, the task ahead was equally important.

Tian stood to the side, the light in his golden eyes gradually dimming. He sheathed his twin pistols at his waist, his gaze remaining calm and vigilant.

“Although it has been defeated, its corpse and residual power remain dangerous,” he said softly, glancing around as if considering his next move. “We need to gather materials to ensure its power doesn’t resurface.”

Caesar leaned back against a boulder, wiping the sweat from his brow, a smug smile still on his face.

“Well done, guys,” he chuckled softly. “But the Dragon King’s corpse won’t dispose of itself automatically. We need to collect useful materials as soon as possible and hand them over to the academy for research.”

Lu Mingfei leaned against the rock, still panting heavily, his heartbeat not yet fully calmed down.

He looked up at the fallen Dragon King, still feeling uneasy. "Is this... really over?" he murmured to himself. Although the battle was won, he felt that the Dragon King's residual power still lingered around him.

“We need to start collecting materials immediately,” Chu Zihang said calmly, turning his gaze to the Dragon King’s corpse. “The academy needs these materials for further research, especially regarding the residual power of the Dragon King’s runes.”

Collecting materials from the Dragon King's corpse is a dangerous and delicate task.

The Dragon King's scales, bones, blood, and runes possess immense magical power. They are not only crucial resources for the academy's research into dragon power but also a key component of future plans to address the dragons' resurgence. However, the energy remaining in these materials is also corrosive, and improper handling could lead to severe consequences.

Chu Zihang was the first to approach the Dragon King's corpse, his blade still gripped alertly in his hand, ready to deal with any sudden danger.

“We’ll start with the scales. This is the strongest part of the Dragon King’s defense. It can withstand most physical and magical attacks. The academy will need these materials to make defensive equipment,” he said, quickly peeling a complete scale off the Dragon King’s body.

Caesar stood to the side, deftly moving to the position of the Dragon King's head, observing its eyes and the gaps between its scales.

“These crystals from the eyes are also very useful, as they can store a large amount of magic power. The academy’s rune research department will definitely be interested.” He said, carefully removing the crystal from the dragon king’s eye with a tool. “These are worth a fortune.”

Tian silently walked around the Dragon King's corpse, carefully examining its core rune area.

"The core of the rune is key; it's directly related to the source of the Dragon King's power. If we can extract and study this core, the academy might be able to better understand the essence of the dragon race's power." His fingers gently traced the cracks in the rune, feeling the residual energy fluctuations within.

"Be careful, the residual energy in these runes is still very strong. Handle them with caution," Tian Leng coldly reminded, his golden eyes flashing with alertness once again.

Lu Mingfei stood at a distance, still somewhat hesitant.

"What...what can I do?" he asked softly, though filled with unease, he knew he had to do something.

"Lu Mingfei, you collect the blood samples," Chu Zihang instructed. "The Dragon King's blood is highly corrosive, but it is also an important resource for the academy's magical research. Use these special containers to ensure it is not contaminated."

Lu Mingfei nodded. Although he was still nervous, he carefully picked up the container that was specially used to collect the blood of the dragons and walked toward the Dragon King's corpse.

His heart pounded as he watched the dark red blood seeping from between the dragon king's scales. He took a deep breath, reached into the container, and slowly and carefully collected the blood.

"Phew, thank goodness it didn't splash out." Lu Mingfei muttered to himself, finally feeling a little relieved.

As materials were gradually collected, the four-person team worked together seamlessly to ensure that every step was foolproof.

Every part of the Dragon King is valuable—scales, bones, runes, blood, and even the Dragon King's aura can be extracted and studied.

Caesar looked at the gradually piling up materials and clapped his hands in satisfaction. "The headmaster will probably be very happy to see these materials," he said with a smile, clearly pleased with the success of the collection mission.

“This mission isn’t over yet,” Chu Zihang said calmly, still maintaining a high level of vigilance. “Although the Dragon King’s body has been disposed of, the energy fluctuations here are still unstable. We must report to the academy as soon as possible to ensure that the seal on this area is completely restored.”

Tian nodded, his gaze still cold and stern. "This victory is only temporary; the threat from the dragon race still exists."

He gazed at the distant "Abyss of Shadows," a vague unease creeping into his heart. Although the Dragon King had been defeated, he still felt that this area was fraught with danger.

“Yes, we still have a lot to do when we get back.” Lu Mingfei wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he had successfully completed the material collection, he still felt exhausted. “I just hope I can have a few days to rest.”

The four-person team completed the collection of materials, and everyone understood that this battle was not the end, but a new beginning.
