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

“The southern ruins,” Caesar repeated in a low voice, already preparing for battle. “That’s our next target.”

“That’s right.” Tian nodded, his tone resolute. “We must act as soon as possible to destroy that core magic array and completely disrupt the Hermes family’s plans.”

With the plan finalized, Tian led his team to quickly prepare and head towards the southern ruins.

They knew this operation would be far more dangerous than any before, but they had no other choice. It wasn't just for the safety of the academy, but also to completely thwart the Hermes family's conspiracy.

The wind howled in my ears again, and the distant mountains appeared even colder in the night.

But Tian's gaze remained resolute, a cold light flashing in his golden eyes. He was certain he would win this battle.

The night remained heavy as the Kassel College squad strode through the woods toward the southern ruins.

The air around them seemed to freeze, even the wind seemed to grow faint. Every step felt incredibly heavy, for everyone knew that this battle would determine the life-or-death struggle between Kassel College and the Hermes family. Tian walked at the very front of the group, his golden eyes gleaming in the darkness, as if they could pierce the night and see every lurking threat.

“We’re almost at our target area,” Tian said in a low voice, his tone still calm and decisive. “This is the location of the Hermes family’s core magic array, and it’s very likely their last line of defense.”

Caesar gripped his gun tightly, his heart pounding, but he remained calm. He knew this was no ordinary battle; this time they faced the core strength of the Hermes family, and the enemy wouldn't surrender easily. "We must be careful. The Hermes family won't give up easily; they're likely to set up numerous traps."

“Don’t underestimate them,” Chu Zihang said calmly, the blade trembling slightly in his hand as if ready to strike at any moment. “The enemy has no way out; they will fight to the death.”

Lu Mingfei walked at the back, and despite his nervousness, he kept up with the group. His hands trembled slightly, but his eyes held a renewed determination: "I will definitely not hold anyone back."

As the squad approached the southern ruins, the surrounding scenery grew increasingly desolate. The distant ruins resembled forgotten fragments of history, with dilapidated building remains standing silently in the moonlight. The ground was littered with collapsed stone tablets and broken pillars, as if they had once been some kind of ancient altar.

A strange energy fluctuation permeated the air, sending chills down one's spine.

"The energy fluctuations are getting stronger," Tian said in a low voice, his sharp gaze sweeping across his surroundings. A faint light flickered in his golden eyes as he quickly analyzed the environment. "The enemy's magic array is just ahead, gradually gathering power."

“They’ve already begun preparations.” Caesar looked up into the depths of the ruins, where a faint aura of darkness seemed to rise from the sky, as if foreshadowing the resurgence of some evil force.

“We must interrupt their ritual.” Chu Zihang gripped his knife tightly, his eyes filled with determination. “Once they complete the ritual, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

"Be careful of the defensive barrier," Tian calmly reminded, pointing to several hidden corners around the ruins. "I can sense the presence of energy barriers; they have already set up defensive formations."

The team immediately went on alert, with Tian and Chu Zihang leading the way, followed closely by Caesar and Lu Mingfei. Although they couldn't see any trace of the enemy, the tension in the air grew stronger, and everyone felt an invisible pressure, as if shrouded in some kind of shadow.

"We're getting close to the core array." Tian's voice was deep and cold, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light. He could clearly feel the energy fluctuations from the depths of the ruins growing stronger, as if some force was calling them closer.

Suddenly, a slight tremor came from ahead, and then several dark figures rushed out from the shadowy corners of the ruins.

The black-robed warriors approached swiftly like ghosts, their weapons gleaming with a cold, eerie light, clearly the elite force of the Hermes family. Their movements were silent, as if they had been lying in wait all along, awaiting the arrival of the academy squad.

"Enemy attack!" Caesar swiftly drew his twin pistols, bullets streaking across the night sky as they accurately struck the black-robed warrior at the forefront.

Chu Zihang suddenly swung his blade to meet the enemy's attack. The blade sliced ​​through the night sky like a whirlwind, carrying a sharp killing intent. The enemy's longsword clashed with Chu Zihang's blade, producing a piercing metallic clang and sparks flying.

"They've been lying in ambush here for a long time!" Lu Mingfei shouted nervously, his Word of Power activated, attempting to suppress the enemy's attack with "Don't die."

"Don't panic, focus," Tian calmly commanded. His dual pistols flashed in the night, each bullet hitting the enemy's vitals with pinpoint accuracy. Despite the enemy's superior numbers, the squad's coordination remained excellent, quickly suppressing the enemy's offensive.

The enemy's numbers far exceeded expectations; they clearly understood the critical nature of this battle and fought desperately to resist the academy team's incursion. The energy fluctuations of the magic array grew increasingly intense, and a suffocating sense of oppression began to permeate the air.

"We can't be held up!" Chu Zihang shouted, his blade once again cleaving through the enemy's defenses. Each of his attacks carried deadly power, quickly clearing away the enemies blocking his path.

Tian also realized that time was of the essence. "Caesar, cover me! I need to destroy the outer defensive barrier!" He leaped forward and charged towards the outer edge of the magic circle, his twin pistols precisely aimed at several energy nodes.

"Understood!" Caesar quickly adjusted the firing angle, and bullets rained down on the enemy, suppressing their counterattack and buying precious time for Tian.

Tian fired his twin guns incessantly, each bullet striking the energy node of the barrier. With a series of explosions, the barrier began to shake violently, and the runes' light dimmed and weakened.

"The barrier is about to collapse!" Lu Mingfei shouted a warning, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes. "Damn, well done!"

"The barrier will completely collapse in a few seconds. We must break into the core area immediately." Tian quickly judged, his golden eyes flashing with a sharp light. He had already seen the dawn of victory.

But just as the barrier was about to break, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly erupted from the center of the magic array.

The entire ruins began to tremble, the earth seemed to crack open, and the energy of the magic array surged like a storm, instantly tearing apart the surrounding air. This was followed by a deep roar, as if some ancient power had been awakened.

"Damn it, they've started the ritual!" Caesar's eyes widened as he stared intently at the center of the magic circle, where black-robed warriors were chanting rapidly, clearly trying to expedite the summoning ritual.

"No, it's too late!" Tian's expression was more solemn than ever before, and the energy fluctuations grew stronger. He realized that the Hermes family's core magic array was about to be completed. "We must destroy the core immediately, or everything will be over!"

"We have no time to hesitate any longer!" Chu Zihang gritted his teeth, suddenly swinging his sword and charging forward, attempting to kill the black-robed warriors chanting before the magic circle was completed. Caesar followed closely behind, unleashing a barrage of bullets from both pistols at full power.

Tian quickly focused all his attention, the light in his golden eyes growing even sharper. He could sense every energy fluctuation of the magic array, and that power became clearly visible in his eyes.

"That's it!" Tian whispered, quickly locking onto the core node of the magic array. His twin pistols fired in a crisscross pattern, incredibly accurate, striking directly at the core energy convergence point.

Gunshots echoed in the night sky, bullets tearing through the air with a whooshing sound, striking the heart of the magic circle.

With a deafening explosion, the energy node at the core of the magic array was precisely hit by a bullet from the sky.

The intense energy fluctuations suddenly spiraled out of control, the magic circle's light began to flicker violently, and a piercing crackling of electricity filled the air. The entire ruins began to tremble violently, the runes on the ground shattered one by one, and energy scattered like a storm, as if the entire magic circle was about to collapse.

"The magic array is going to be destroyed!" Lu Mingfei shouted, his voice filled with barely concealed joy and tension.

Although the enemy's summoning ritual was nearing completion, Tian's precise strike completely disrupted their plans, and the energy of the magic circle began to become chaotic.

"Now's the time! Charge in!" Chu Zihang shouted, taking the lead in rushing towards the center of the magic array. His blade flashed coldly in the darkness, heading straight for the black-robed warrior who was chanting.

Caesar followed closely behind, firing his twin pistols in quick succession, bullets whizzing towards the defenseless enemies. The black-robed warriors' incantation was interrupted, and panic appeared on their faces, clearly not expecting the magic circle to be destroyed at the last moment.

"Don't give them a chance to resume the ritual!" Tian said coldly, his twin pistols spinning rapidly in his hands as he fired continuously, ensuring that no enemy could reactivate the magic circle.
