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

"Stay calm and concentrate your firepower." Tian remained calm, a cold light flashing in his golden eyes. He fired his dual pistols in rapid succession, the bullets precisely aimed at the enemy's vital points.

Each bullet was as swift as lightning; the enemy's movements seemed to be seen through, leaving them nowhere to hide.

The enemy's numbers far exceeded expectations, forcing the squad's attack to a temporary halt, while the enemy's offensive grew increasingly fierce.

"We can't afford to delay any longer!" Caesar cursed under his breath, watching the enemy approach from all directions, the situation growing increasingly tense.

"Heavens, we need a breakthrough!" Chu Zihang said coldly, his knife still cleaving through the enemy's defenses, but he also realized that they had to get close to the core of the magic array as soon as possible and could not be held back by the enemy any longer.

Tian quickly surveyed his surroundings, his gaze locking onto the outer barrier of the magic array. "There!" he pointed to the energy node on the outer edge of the array. "If we destroy that energy convergence point, the enemy's defenses will collapse rapidly!"

"We'll cover you, Heaven!" Caesar responded decisively, increasing firepower in an attempt to suppress the enemy's attack and create an opportunity for Heaven to break through.

Without further hesitation, Tian rushed towards the energy node on the outer edge of the magic array. The enemy's attacks grew increasingly frenzied, but he moved nimbly, calmly dodging each fatal blow. His dual pistols precisely aimed at the energy node, and with a crisp gunshot, the bullet shot out like lightning, accurately hitting the magic array's vital point.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the energy nodes surrounding the magic array were destroyed, a powerful energy surge exploded in the air, and the surrounding runes began to crumble, instantly shattering the enemy's defenses.

The array's light quickly dimmed, and the flow of energy disappeared.

"Now, destroy the core of the magic array!" Tian shouted, his golden eyes flashing with cold determination.

The squad swiftly broke through the enemy's defenses, heading straight for the center of the magic array. Seeing their defenses crumble, the enemy panicked and retreated in disarray. But Chu Zihang and Caesar gave them no chance to catch their breath; blades and bullets mercilessly swept across the enemy ranks, and enemies fell one after another.

The core of the magic array had been exposed to them. Without hesitation, Tian raised his twin pistols and locked onto the energy convergence point of the core.

"It's over," he said in a low voice, pulling the trigger. The bullet shot like a meteor toward the center of the magic circle.

With a loud bang, the core of the magic circle completely collapsed, all the surrounding runes shattered, and the energy of the summoning ritual completely dissipated.

A violent tremor shook the sky, followed by silence.

"Finally... it's over." Lu Mingfei panted heavily, his face full of exhaustion and relief. "This nightmarish magic array has finally been destroyed."

Tian stood beside the collapsed magic array, the light in his golden eyes gradually returning to calm, but his gaze remained cold and resolute.

“This is just the beginning,” he said softly, as if reminding himself, “The Hermes family’s plans go far beyond this; we have only thwarted a part of their conspiracy.”

The aftershocks of the battle gradually subsided, leaving a heavy smell of gunpowder in the air, but Caesar, Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei, and Tian did not let their guard down.

They stood in the center of the collapsed magic circle, surrounded by devastation. The recent battle had left everyone on edge. Although they had successfully destroyed the Hermes family's magic circle, Tian remained filled with unresolved doubts. The Hermes family's actions were so meticulous; there must be a larger conspiracy behind this battle.

"Is it really over?" Lu Mingfei gasped for breath, looking around wearily. "I have a feeling that there's still something left unresolved."

His words, though soft, resonated with everyone. Despite the destruction of the magic circle and the temporary retreat of the enemy, the shadow of the Hermes family still loomed over them, as if it might return at any moment.

Tian stood quietly beside the broken magic circle, his golden eyes flickering slightly, his gaze filled with contemplation and vigilance.

“This is certainly not the end.” His voice was deep and cold, his tone resolute and calm. “The Hermes family could not have set up just one magic array. Their real plan is still ongoing, and we must thoroughly investigate their next move.”

Chu Zihang nodded, his eyes still cold and stern. "Tian is right, they definitely have more plans behind them. This operation is just a decoy; their real target may be much more deeply hidden."

Although Caesar had just experienced a fierce battle, his expression remained resolute and his gaze sharp. He wiped the sweat from his brow and stood beside Tian, ​​saying, "We cannot let them continue to hide. We must take the initiative, find their lair, and completely destroy these conspiracies."

His words revealed a firm resolve. Although he was still struggling with the entanglements of his family, Caesar's determination to fight against the Hermes family was now even clearer.

“Norma might be able to help us find more clues.” Tian’s gaze remained calm as he took out the control device he had previously discovered in the magic circle from his pocket and quickly analyzed its rune structure. “We destroyed this device, but other magic circles may still be operating. Through this device, Norma might be able to track their energy fluctuations.”

“If we can use this device to find their other magic arrays, we can completely disrupt their plans,” Chu Zihang said, his gaze cold and resolute. “We don’t have much time; the Hermes family’s actions may soon take another step.”

“We have to get back to the academy,” Caesar said in a low voice. Although he was a little uneasy, the situation left no room for hesitation. “Norma will analyze the information in more detail, and we must seize the time.”

Tian nodded and quickly made a decision. "Withdraw now and return to the academy." He gave the order decisively. Although they had just experienced a fierce battle, he knew they had no time to rest. The Hermes family's next move could unfold at any moment, and they needed to gather more intelligence as soon as possible.

A few minutes later, the team quickly withdrew from the ruined battlefield and headed towards the academy. Night enveloped them, the wind whistled in their ears, but everyone's heart was filled with tension and anticipation for the mission ahead.

On the way back to Kassel College, Tian always walked at the head of the group, his every step steady and decisive. His golden eyes gleamed in the night, revealing his inner calm and clarity. Despite the complex situation, Tian remained the core of the team, his judgment and decisions never faltering.

When they arrived at the academy, Norma had already received the intelligence they brought back; the huge screen was flashing with rapidly flowing data.

"Analysis in progress, please wait." Norma's voice was still cold, but the mechanical efficiency was reassuring.

Caesar stood in front of Norma's screen, arms crossed, a hint of tension in his eyes.

"We need to know the Hermes family's movements as soon as possible. Can this device help us?" he asked, turning his head to the sky, his tone filled with anxiety.

After a moment of silence, Tian calmly said, "This device should provide some clues, but the Hermes family's arrangements are extremely complex. Even if we find their other magic arrays, we may not be able to completely stop them."

Norma's screen began to display more complex runes and energy fluctuations, clearly analyzing the connection between the device and other magic arrays. The data flow accelerated, and after a few minutes, Norma finally provided preliminary results.

"Other Hermes family magic arrays are operating in multiple locations, and multiple energy fluctuations have been detected," Norma announced calmly. Several red energy nodes were displayed on the screen, distributed in different locations, clearly other operational bases of the Hermes family.

Tian carefully observed the map on the screen, his gaze growing increasingly sharp. "These energy nodes are all located near hidden mountains or ruins, clearly locations deliberately chosen by the Hermes family," he analyzed. "But we can't destroy them one by one; that would dilute our strength."

"What should we do?" Lu Mingfei looked at the map, his face full of doubt. "These places all seem to be far apart. Should we split up and act separately?"

Tian shook his head and said calmly, "No, we cannot split up. The Hermes family's goal may be to lure us into dispersing our forces. If we act separately, we may fall into their trap."

Chu Zihang agreed with Tian's analysis, "Our strength is limited, and splitting up will allow the enemy to defeat us one by one. We must concentrate our efforts and find their true core."

"Norma, can you detect which of these energy nodes is the core?" Tian asked calmly, a hint of determination in his eyes.

Norma's screen flickered, then announced: "Analyzing energy intensity... The core magic array is expected to be located in the southern ruins area, where the energy fluctuations are strongest, and it is very likely the Hermes family's command center."
