Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Andrew collapsed on the stool, completely dumbfounded. He suddenly realized that coming to Kassel College was a mistake, a complete mistake! Because of that stupid principal... He watched these stupid interviews... Facing such a group of stupid people... And he was being fooled around like a fool!

Suddenly, he looked at Lu Mingfei, who was surrounded by wooden fences, and an idea flashed in his mind. "What about Lu Mingfei? He is known as an 'S' grade. What does 'S' grade bloodline mean? He is almost half human, half dragon, but he doesn't even have a Word Spirit! Who determines his rating? What is the basis for it?"

Faced with Andrew's sudden and loud questioning, both the Lionheart Club members in crimson uniforms and the Student Union members in black uniforms looked at the incompetent and roaring middle-aged man as if he were a fool. In their opinion, this guy had run out of ideas and was just making small talk... because he questioned something that was least worthy of questioning.

"The principal personally presided over the '3E' test for Lu Mingfei and acknowledged his bloodline. There is no doubt about that!" An Indian boy in a green school uniform stood up. When he spoke, his face was full of admiration for Lu Mingfei.

When Qilan spoke, the members of the freshman association applauded, and it was unclear whether they agreed with Qilan's point of view or expressed their high respect for Lu Mingfei.

"You mean to say that before Lu Mingfei even took the '3E' exam, Ange arbitrarily classified him as 'S' grade and gave him special treatment? So, can I question Ange's impartiality as an educator? Furthermore, there's no precedent for conducting a separate '3E' exam. Exams should be fair, just, and open. What was Ange's motive in conducting a separate test? If he tampered with the process, is the basis for Lu Mingfei's 'S' grade still reliable?"

A fleeting flash of triumph crossed Andrew's eyes. He straightened his tie and regained his composure. He was a lawyer, skilled at guiding and finding loopholes in his opponents' words. They had fallen into his first trap, and the situation was about to return to his home turf!

"If Lu Mingfei fails to live up to everyone's expectations, then it would be unfair to Principal Ange; but in fact, he absolutely deserves the 'S'-level honor. He has taken risks alone in high-risk missions time and time again, and has solved them perfectly time and time again, with danger all around. Do you know how dangerous it is to face an 'A'-level high-risk hybrid? You don't know, and people like you will never know, but Lu Mingfei has taken on such missions no less than a handful! What qualifications do cowards have to question a warrior?" Qi Lan was filled with righteous indignation, and he pounded his fist on the table.

After a few seconds of silence, thunderous applause erupted, both for Qi Lan's emotional speech and for Lu Mingfei. Kassel Academy had always been a party that believed in meritocracy. Even if everyone was not on the same side, they still maintained due respect for the strong.

And Lu Mingfei is an absolute strong man!

"Very good, very well said! You have a natural gift for public speaking." Andrew remained noncommittal. "But you just keep telling me how strong and brave Lu Mingfei is. With no evidence, how can I know if you're not glorifying him... Can you give me an example?"

"In the Three Gorges, he jumped out of the Moniach alone and stabbed out the eye of a dragon servant with a knife. In the end, he stayed behind to cover the retreat despite Professor Mans's dissuasion. He made great contributions in that battle... In the Old Capitol in Philadelphia, he dealt with a female half-blood disguised as a congressman and even caused half of the building to collapse. You should know how dangerous the situation was..." Qi Lan talked about Lu Mingfei's heroic deeds like he knew them all by heart, his eyebrows were flying with joy, and he was so proud as if he was the protagonist who accomplished these earth-shaking feats.

Andrew clapped softly. With each word Qilan said, the sneer on his face grew more intense, but he simply listened quietly without interrupting. Percy, standing beside him, lowered his head, his pen swishing across the paper.

Nono in the corner looked up, and seeing the smirk on Andrew’s face, she suddenly yelled: “Shut up, idiot!”

Qi Lan's narration was interrupted. He looked at Nuonuo, his big dark eyes filled with confusion and resentment, as if asking why he was interrupted, and... why he was called an idiot?

"This idiot!" The vice principal also cursed and shook his head in disappointment.

"Have you memorized everything?" Andrew bent down and asked Percy. Percy nodded slightly. Andrew stood up and looked at Qilan. "Excellent! I really hope you can provide me with some more strong evidence... my witnesses."

"What are you talking about..." Qi Lan was stunned. He suddenly realized that he had been led into the trap set by the other party. He had let the cat out of the bag! The Vice Principal's previous victory was shattered!

"Did you hear that? Ladies and gentlemen, the person who said that was the former president of the freshman fraternity, who's still sitting on the student jury. I'm sure you all heard how uncontrollable and arbitrary Lu Mingfei was in his words. Yet, in the report he submitted to the school, it was all about the missions being successfully completed, so perfectly fulfilled, it was almost like attending a devout church service rather than a series of dangerous missions! And there was no mention of his dangerous personal style and radical methods during the missions..."

Andrew looked at Lu Mingfei and suddenly raised his voice, intimidating the whole audience, "What are you hiding?"

The whole place fell silent. The students' gazes were like sharp knives, fiercely slicing at Qilan. Qilan slumped in his chair with a look of despair, his eyes red... He actually harmed his idol?

The tenured professors looked at Lu Mingfei, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

"Do I need to hide anything?" Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke, looking at Andrew calmly.

This was a hearing for his trial, but he had only just spoken.

Andrew was stunned by this sudden counter-question... What was going on? Where did the other party get this inexplicable confidence? He was clearly the judge and he was just a suspect...

"It's so ugly." Lu Mingfei said expressionlessly.

"what?"

"I'm talking about your face. You've never experienced war, yet you think everything is easy. You've never witnessed death, yet you act like you're on a moral pedestal, condescendingly criticizing this and that... You're so self-deprecating, a lowly half-blood who's infiltrated Kassel Academy."

Chapter 145: Dragon King Awakens

The whole place fell into dead silence, and everyone's eyes were moving back and forth between Lu Mingfei and Andrew.

"You low-class...half-blood..." Andrew was stunned. He almost gritted out these words through his teeth, "How dare you...how dare you?!"

He pointed at Lu Mingfei. His critical thinking, his sense of logic, and his touching eloquence seemed to have disappeared at this moment, because he was hit in the sore spot by the other party's words. Anger overflowed from his mind and climbed all over his face. His expression was as if he had just witnessed Lu Mingfei killing his entire family.

"Yes, that's right, a low-class half-blood." Lu Mingfei nodded. Since the other party wanted to hear it, he repeated it again. "Actually, I'm not afraid of fighting, and I'm even less afraid of verbal battles like this. I'm a natural at talking trash, and I can often make someone furious with just one word... just like you are now."

Andrew's eyes were almost popping out of his chest due to the immense anger and humiliation he felt. He put his hands on the table and gritted his teeth, "You're just an ordinary student at Kassel College, and I'm the chief legal advisor to the Gattuso family. How dare you insult me ​​like this?"

"I'm just stating the facts. If you insist on taking it as an insult, so be it. Honestly, I don't want to turn this hearing into a shrew's scolding, because I've been influenced by them since I was a child, and you definitely can't beat me in scolding." Lu Mingfei sneered, "As for being the chief advisor of the Gattuso family... aren't you taking yourself too seriously? If this hearing is based on seniority, then you should ask your family's heir sitting there. This place could completely become a one-man show for Senior Caesar."

Caesar, who was named, was wearing noise-canceling headphones in the corner, shaking his head gently. A very melodic band song was playing in the headphones, as if this hearing had nothing to do with him.

"Attention, let's get back on track." King Solomon majestically knocked the wooden hammer to alert the two of them. He was afraid that Andrew would not be able to control himself and would rush over to pick a fight with Lu Mingfei.

"So you admit it? Your mission report doesn't match the actual situation?" Andrew stared at Lu Mingfei.

"What's there to be ashamed of? I did complete the mission, I just embellished the process a bit and changed the wording to be more beautiful. Is that a serious crime? Do you expect to use this as a reason to expel me? Or even impeach our principal? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?" Lu Mingfei asked coldly. "Or do you want to know the bloody reality? It's okay, I can describe it to you, but I can't guarantee that a guy like you who has never been to the battlefield will not vomit up all the midnight snack last night."

"It's people like you who have turned the academy into a completely violent organization! Especially the executive department, it's just like an armed gang!" Andrew was furious.

"Kassel Academy has always been a violent institution, and it's understandable that the Executive Department is an 'armed gang.'" The head of the Executive Department in the audience suddenly spoke up, retorting in a hoarse and cold voice, "Our enemy is the dragon clan. If we don't use violence, do we have to reason with them like you did? Why don't you ask the four monarchs if they'd be willing to have a friendly debate with you?"

The elite members of the Executive Division applauded enthusiastically. Schneider was telling the truth; the Executive Division wasn't ashamed of being "armed gangsters." Instead, they lamented their own inadequacy in arranging violence. They urged them to keep up the good work!

Andrew was speechless, his sinister eyes swept over these sick people. No wonder they say that if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. These guys, from teachers to students, are all black sheep. This college seems to have been completely corrupted!

"I'm not going to put up with this insult anymore!" Andrew strode back to the investigation team's table. "You can try to exonerate Lu Mingfei, fabricate some stupid video interviews, deny Chu Zihang's existence, and trick me like a fool... But before that, I've obtained a piece of evidence that absolutely cannot be erased."

Andrew raised his head and looked around the audience, "Chu Zihang's blood sample!"

Everyone's expressions changed.

"How the hell did he get this stuff?" the vice-principal whispered.

"I don't know. Isn't Chu Zihang lying in the intensive care unit? No one can visit him except the principal's authorization. Even Lancelot and Susie's applications have been rejected. Only Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi are allowed to visit!" Finkel was also obviously stunned. "Could it be..."

He suddenly looked at the person behind Andrew, and suddenly realized that besides the principal's authorization, there seemed to be another person who could enter the intensive care unit...that white card representing the highest authorization of the board of directors!

Percy walked to the center of the conference room carrying a medical blood box and placed a piece of quartz glass on a small table. He opened the blood box and saw a transparent vacuum tube inserted in the dry ice. The blood sample in the tube was a dark scarlet color.

"The evidence we're about to present is from an experiment and is quite dangerous, so please stay away from me. As we all know, dragon blood has a strong corrosive effect on human blood. This effect can sometimes strengthen a person's physique, just like the heroes in the legends who bathed in dragon blood to gain greater strength. However, most of the time, dragon blood is highly toxic to humans. Hybrids with high-risk bloodlines have blood that has similar characteristics to dragon blood. This uncontrollable, burning evil blood will react violently with human blood, much like aqua regia."

The director of the Department of Genetic Biology nodded in affirmation. This was knowledge written into textbooks. They had experimented on the dangerous hybrids captured by Lu Mingfei.

"Pasi, tell us where you got this blood sample?" Andrew asked.

"From a student in the intensive care unit of Kassel College, but whose blood sample it was... I'm sorry, sir, I really can't remember." Percy said apologetically.

"You..." Andrew's eyes widened. "Forget it. At least there is such evil blood in the academy. Whether it comes from Chu Zihang or someone else, this already proves that Ange has neglected his duty, right?"

"If this tube of blood is really the most evil blood as you said." King Solomon nodded.

"So, this blood sample is pure human blood I extracted from the blood bank." Percy held up another quartz tube, the blood inside bright red. "Now we will collect a drop of blood from each of us and let them mix together."

"Now is the moment to witness the crime!" Andrew's expression gradually distorted.

Everyone held their breath and watched Percy take a drop of blood with a straw and drip it into the curved groove in the middle of the quartz glass, as if they were watching a groundbreaking experiment. Only two people looked calm... Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi exchanged a secret look.

The two drops of blood slowly approached each other along the groove. They slightly separated when they came into contact, like a test of first encounter, and then they were like two gurgling streams, or like two people hugging each other, gently intertwining and merging into one drop.

Five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds… Two full minutes passed. Everyone stared at the pool of blood for a long time. Aside from its darker color, the blood was like a ruby, pure and clear, free of any impurities. The expected explosion or erosion never occurred. The jury and the audience were completely silent, as serene as if everyone were playing "statue," with no room for speech or movement.

"Is this the sinful moment you mentioned?" Xia Mi stood up and asked Andrew, "No matter who this blood comes from, a guy with such gentle blood must be a kind person. I guess he must fall asleep every night with "The Little Prince" in his hands and drinking hot milk. How could such a person be an unforgivable sinner?"

"No! It shouldn't be like this! It must be you! You tampered with his blood!" Andrew shouted. "You gave him a blood transfusion, right? You just need to wash his blood all over his body as you would a critically ill patient, and the evidence will be completely erased!"

"We didn't even know you were going to use a blood sample, so how could you possibly have swapped blood in advance?" Nuonuo also stood up. "You're a lawyer, and lawyers rely on evidence. And now the evidence you've presented leans towards our side, so you got angry and fabricated it out of thin air?"

The vice-principal grinned, feeling that the beauties in their school were more fierce than each other. No one could withstand the double attack of these hot beauties, right?

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, I have new evidence!" Andrew slammed the table and stood up. "New witness! I hope all tenured professors will accept the testimony of the Student Union President, the outstanding 'A' grade student, Caesar Gattuso! Regarding whether your school has a student named Chu Zihang, and whether his bloodline is dangerous!"

Under everyone's gaze, Caesar took off his noise-canceling headphones, slowly stood up, bowed slightly to the tenured professors, and nodded to both sides of the debate, like a leader about to deliver an inaugural address. "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Caesar Gattuso, swear by my family name that every word I say next is absolutely true. Since I started studying at Kassel College, I have never known a student named Chu Zihang. Chu Zihang? I've never heard of such a stupid name. As for dangerous bloodline, there is no way to talk about it. Although we advocate violence externally, we are actually very harmonious internally. We are all like a loving family. Would you suspect that your family is a dangerous element, a potential Tyrannosaurus Rex..."

The applause from the audience was so loud that it could have blown off the roof of Valhalla. Caesar spoke emotionally, saying that the Lionheart Club's student union often held social gatherings, and that the two clubs were as close as cousins; that they often discussed together, from academics to dragon-slaying plans, and that Kassel Academy never had a culture of competition or comparison, but rather of helping each other... As if in response to Caesar's speech, the cadres of the Lionheart Club and the student union stood up and exchanged seats, with black and crimson sitting together. Lancelot's shoulder was warmly hugged by the head of the rock climbing club, and Nono, Susie and the head of the ballet troupe were as close as sisters who had just gone shopping.

As Caesar's speech flowed, Andrew's worldview began to crumble. What was going on? Hadn't he sworn an oath on his family name? Why was he spouting such nonsense? Was he truly the heir to the Gattuso family? Had the ancestors made a mistake? Or had the real Caesar Gattuso been replaced?

In the corner, Caesar suddenly glanced at Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei nodded gently, his lips moving silently as he said thank you, both for himself and for his paralyzed senior brother still lying in the ICU. It must be said that Caesar was truly loyal. On a matter of right and wrong, he was willing to put aside his personal disputes with Chu Zihang and give the family's investigation team a good beating.

The conference hall was as jubilant as a festival. Amid the cheers and crowds, the phone suddenly rang. Lu Mingfei took out his cell phone and looked at the number. He frowned, pushed open the shackles, and quickly avoided the crowd.

They had already won completely. Andrew had already fled the venue, looking like a washed-up clown. Finkel came to Percy and gently patted his shoulder. "Thank you."

He snapped his fingers, and Percy was slightly stunned, then woke up from the "hypnosis" and regained his memory of Chu Zihang.

"I've done what you asked and voluntarily entered hypnosis. You've achieved your goal... but don't forget what we agreed upon." Percy lowered his head, sorting through the documents Andrew had left behind. Andrew was likely to be abandoned by the family, and he would have to report on the entire hearing.

It's really overwhelming...this heavy surname and power.

……

In front of the door of the intensive care unit, Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, put on a smile, and pushed the door open.

As expected, Xia Mi was sitting beside Chu Zihang's bed, with the pure white tulip in the vase on the bedside table; but unexpectedly, she was holding a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, and had just fed Chu Zihang the last bite.

"Excuse me." Lu Mingfei opened the door and wanted to close it immediately. He was almost driven away by the strong sour smell.

"Don't go!" Xia Mi suddenly stopped Lu Mingfei. She stood up and took the dishes with her. "I have to go to class. You guys chat."

When she passed Lu Mingfei, she stepped hard on him with her heel in Chu Zihang's blind spot. Lu Mingfei felt the pain secretly, but his expression remained calm. "Xia Mi, have a safe journey!"

The door was closed heavily with a "bang". It seemed that Xia Mi had a lot of resentment towards him. Lu Mingfei took her place and sat down beside Chu Zihang's bed.

"It's not what you think..." Chu Zihang was about to explain Xia Mi's ambiguous behavior of feeding him lotus seed soup just now, but was interrupted by Lu Mingfei's wave of his hand.

"Senior brother, you are not going to tell me that Xia Mi forced you to feed it to you, please, you are a grown man, do you still care about such trivial matters after eating something made by a girl for you?" Lu Mingfei retorted.

Chu Zihang opened his mouth but was speechless. Lu Mingfei had already said everything he wanted to say.

"We won the hearing today. You should have seen Andrew's face when he ran away... It was like Fingle having his Coke and family bucket taken away." Lu Mingfei made a vivid analogy.

Chu Zihang nodded. In fact, Xia Mi had just told him everything and described it vividly, but he didn't want to interrupt Lu Mingfei's narration.

"So get well soon, senior brother. I know Xia Mi must have told you all this just now, so I'm here to bring you some new news." Lu Mingfei stared into Chu Zihang's eyes.

"The Dragon King has awakened. I have taken over the baton for you. This time I am your soldier."

Chapter 146 Does this count as love? Doesn’t it? Does it count?

Kassel College, Central Control Room.

During the hearing, the Executive Branch still had a team on duty here, monitoring information from around the world.

The young people in the Executive Department constantly refreshed a website called Hunter Market. The Academy always kept a close eye on this website, and since the "Skinned Man Incident" in New York, the monitoring had been intensified.

Everything seems to be normal so far today, and the various bounty tasks do not seem to be suspicious... at least that's the case for this weird website.

Most quests involve the illegal movement of cultural relics, the wanted list for a renowned jewel thief, or even an invitation to join experienced thieves in exploring ancient tombs and the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. Becoming a qualified hunter requires considerable judgment and mental fortitude. Either one has a naturally cheerful disposition like Old Tang, or one will eventually develop mental illness from constantly poring over these bizarre and sensational posts. Or else, one might rashly embark on a dangerous quest and vanish without a trace.

A red bounty post was pushed to the top of the forum. It looked like it had been posted only a few minutes ago, but it had a staggering hundred replies. Given the Hunter website's online base, hundreds of replies in just a few minutes was the kind of buzz you'd get from offering a bounty in the hundreds of millions for assassinating the head of a major power.

The young man from the executive department glanced at the post, his eyes nearly popping out. He didn't even dare open it to see the specific content and replies, even thinking he was seeing things. He subconsciously hit "F5" to refresh the page, but the post was still at the top. In just a dozen seconds, the number of replies had jumped from a hundred to several hundred!

The internet speed suddenly slowed down because the bounty post was being forwarded by countless people! Hunters from all over the world had seen the message and were forwarding the huge bounty to their friends to invite to form teams. Countless users were browsing, and the huge amount of user information was occupying the optical fiber.

This horrible post will be a nuclear explosion that will ignite the entire half-blood world!

【110611——Beijing, China——Dragon: "Fenrisulfr"——Kill】

【Reward：$100,000,000】

……

"The Dragon King has awakened..." Chu Zihang lying on the bed chewed over these four simple words carefully. Although he had a vague premonition about it when he saw the snake in the courtyard, when he actually heard the news, his heart still couldn't help but skip a beat.

"Yes, it was originally just speculation in a secret meeting, but now it's known to the entire school. No, even more people know it," Lu Mingfei said. "Someone posted the news on the Hunter website. A dragon named 'Fenrisulfr' has awakened in Beijing, China, and they're recruiting hunters to kill him. The reward is 100 million US dollars."

"Chinese BJ..." Chu Zihang was stunned. He seemed to have heard of this position somewhere recently, but he slept for too long and his memory was vague.

"Why would such information be posted on the Hunter website?" Chu Zihang asked.

It wasn't just the hybrids roaming that website. Someone putting this kind of information on a public website like the Hunter Market meant the Dragon Clan's secrets, guarded for millennia by the hybrids, were about to be revealed. This posed a nuclear-level threat to Kassel Academy—an information nuclear bomb! Its danger was even comparable to the Dragon King's awakening itself!

"For now, we don't need to worry about the information on the Hunter website. Even if the Dragon Clan's information is leaked, it will only be to a small group of people. Although the guys there are nervous, they will never disclose confidential missions casually." Lu Mingfei said, "What we should consider now is how to face the Dragon King."

"How should we deal with it?" Chu Zihang was stunned. "Are you talking about how we should slay the dragon?"

"...More or less." Lu Mingfei sighed inwardly. Now was not a good time. He couldn't reveal Xia Mi's identity to Chu Zihang here. "We were divided into a group, and there was another person, my useless senior brother."

"Fingal?" Chu Zihang was stunned again, "He also participated in the dragon slaying?"

"Although I call him useless senior brother, don't underestimate that guy. He was once the 'A' grade that Cassel was proud of. He has the ability, but he is a little decadent now." Lu Mingfei rarely spoke well of Finkel.

"Why aren't you the captain?" Chu Zihang asked. "Principal Ange should have nominated you from the beginning. Your mission experience is already as good as mine. It makes sense for the academy's only 'S'-ranked one to lead the team to defeat the Dragon King."

"Brother, although I'm S-rank, I'm not omnipotent." Lu Mingfei lowered his head, his expression unclear. "There are many things I can only try to guide in a positive direction. Although I hope every story has a happy ending, I'm not the protagonist of every story. Ultimately, the way your life should be is up to you."

Looking at Lu Mingfei's expression, Chu Zihang fell silent. He felt a sense of weightiness for no reason. Although he didn't know why Lu Mingfei suddenly said such a thing, what story, what protagonist... but he couldn't refute it.

"Is this topic too heavy? Why don't we talk about something lighter?" Lu Mingfei put on a smile. "Brother, what do you think it's like to fall in love with someone?"

"Liking someone... I haven't studied this kind of thing before..." Chu Zihang was stunned. Obviously he couldn't keep up with Lu Mingfei's amazing development of the twists and turns. How did he suddenly turn from a life mentor to a love Q&A session?

But he still thought about it and answered seriously: "...But, everyone's way of falling in love with someone should be different."
