Dragon Raja: Starting with Deadpool, Evolving Through Devouring

They only asked Chen Hao to stop the car when they were still some distance away, then left the two of them behind and drove the "Time Zero" back to retrieve the treasure.

Suddenly, only Lu Mingfei and Chen Hao remained in the desolate wilderness.

Fortunately, Chen Hao was a very outgoing person and didn't have any of the bad temper of a rich young master. He took advantage of Cao Han's absence to bring up the old matter again.

He asked Lu Mingfei again about the so-called initiation ceremony.

"Legendary Creature Hunters and the Association for Maintaining Order in the Human World..."

In order to maintain the prestige of the association's name, Lu Ming selectively forgot the abbreviation "Weird Man Association".

"Mingfei, what do you think of me dyeing my hair blonde? But wouldn't it be a bit too flashy and high-profile? Or how about red?"

Perhaps due to our bloodline, many members of the Chen family are born with red hair, so it doesn't seem out of place when we come home.

Judging from this situation, Chen Hao was clearly determined to join the association and acknowledge Cao Han as his leader.

Lu Mingfei, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but ask what was on his mind: "Don't you think this name is a bit strange?"

"Strange? What's strange about it? That's how secret societies work—the longer the name, the stronger they are!"

"..."

Without keeping the two waiting long, Cao Han's classic pose carrying the bronze coffin reappeared.

The main reason this bronze coffin was chosen to store an embryo is its "breath-concealing" function; alchemical items placed inside can also perfectly conceal any outward signs of their presence.

Like sliding open a phone, Cao Han slid open the coffin lid and began rummaging through it. His eyes quickly spotted an unremarkable-looking stone placed in the corner.

"boom!"

"Cough cough cough-"

Despite its small size, the stone still kicked up a cloud of dust when it hit the ground.

Caught off guard, Lu Mingfei burst into tears and coughed incessantly.

"Chen Hao, come and take a look. What do you think of the dragon script on this?"

"This, this, this... This is the Rosetta Stone from the Ptolemaic Dynasty of ancient Egypt?!" Chen Hao stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

The problem is, if his memory serves him right, isn't the Rosetta Stone kept in the British Museum?

And what is this thing in front of us?

"Who cares about the Robusta Stele? As long as it contains genuine dragon script that resonates with Lu Mingfei's bloodline, nothing else matters!"

It was only then that the two of them belatedly realized what was happening.

It turns out that what Cao Han said in the auction center's private room was about something more important—to use the Dragon Script to awaken Lu Mingfei's powers.

Upon learning the truth, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a strange sense of emotion.

"I'm determined to make Lu Ming awaken this bloodline today!"

Cao Han is not the type to give up halfway. If he hadn't met Lu Mingfei, things would have been fine. But since he did meet him, he wanted to change some things.

At the same time, I will personally make up for some of the regrets I had when reading the original novel "Dragon Raja"!

Chapter 43 Lu Mingfei's Premature Awakening

"With this Rosetta Stone, will I be able to awaken superpowers like you guys?"

Faced with such an easy opportunity, Lu Mingfei felt a little timid, a biological instinctive reaction to the mysterious and unknown.

Don't worry~

Cao Han patted the young man on the shoulder to encourage him.

Turning her head away from Chen Hao, who was still studying the inscription on the stone tablet, she said irritably, "Look at you, so pathetic. It's just a broken stone, what's so interesting about it?"

"Boss, don't underestimate this Rosetta Stone. It's said that it was made by the high priest of the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt on the orders of the Pharaoh. The contents on it are very helpful for us to understand the entire history of the dragon race."

Chen Hao's sudden burst of curiosity was unexpected. "Alright, alright, I'll let you study it slowly after we finish our business."

In fact, Dragon Resonance isn't that impressive.

Lu Mingfei placed his hand on the stone tablet, and then Cao Han mobilized the power of his dragon bloodline to activate the dragon script power contained within the stone tablet.

"Om-"

"Om-"

After the dragon's runes were activated, ripples spread out from the stone tablet, emitting a buzzing sound like whispers in one's ear.

Before Cao Han could even ask Lu Mingfei if he sensed anything unusual...

Turning his head, he noticed that Lu Mingfei's eyes had become lifeless, as if he had fallen into some kind of illusion.

"It seems he has entered a 'spiritual vision' illusion. Everyone sees different things during a spiritual vision. When he wakes up, his bloodline should have been successfully awakened!"

"Okay, then we won't bother him for now."

The duration of clairvoyance varies depending on the individual's bloodline concentration.

While waiting, Chen Hao took the initiative to speak up and said, "Boss, boss, let me join your legendary creature hunting and human world order maintenance association too!"

I also want to contribute to slaying dragons and saving the world!

This is the difference between an outsider and an insider.

When Lu Mingfei heard the name of the association, he was still confused and didn't quite understand it, but Chen Hao, who was of mixed race, immediately understood it as soon as he heard the name.

Legendary creature hunting, isn't that just... slaying dragons!

In the Western world, especially within the influence of the Secret Society, most hybrids aim to slay dragons as their ultimate goal.

In China, the dragon is a spiritual totem, and in the eyes of these large families that have been passed down for thousands of years, family interests are above all else!

Even if the next generation is threatened by modern weapons, it is still capable of winning if it pays a sufficient price.

Unless a pure-blooded dragon awakens within its own territory, it rarely participates in the thankless task of slaying dragons.

The Chen family was no exception in this regard.

"Are you sure you want to join? I'm sure you've noticed that there's only Lu Mingfei and me in the association right now, so it's not an exaggeration to say it's just a joke."

"I'm sure! With your abilities, boss, I'm sure you'll achieve something truly amazing in the future."

Cao Han had a feeling that Chen Hao might have some kind of misunderstanding, perhaps thinking of him as some kind of "savior". "Fine, just tell me whenever you want to quit."

In any case, this association was basically made up by Cao Han on the spot. He made all the rules and regulations himself. When Chen Hao finds out the truth and wants to quit, it's just a matter of a word.

But the repeated calls of "boss" were becoming more and more pleasing to his ears.

It seemed that Lu Mingfei's "spiritual vision" wouldn't end anytime soon. Cao Han suddenly remembered that Chen Hao's Word of Power was apparently Sword Control...

Thinking of this, he immediately got up and went to the bronze coffin, reaching out to take out an octagonal Han sword.

Speaking of which, this Eight Directions Han Sword was a trophy he obtained when he entered Valhalla and killed the first half-blood.

The reason this guy was chosen as the first target was simply because the way he used the Word Spirit Sword to control his flying sword was just too smug.

Other swords might not be suitable for a person to stand on, but this wide and large octagonal Han sword is the most suitable.

"Here you go~ consider this sword a welcome gift for your early joining of our association!"

Inanimate objects are certainly not as important as living people!

Cao Han did not disregard the spoils of war inside the bronze coffin; rather, the value of anything is created by people.

It's worthless if it's just sitting there unused, and besides, he doesn't give it away to everyone he meets; he only gives it to people he respects.

Faced with the Eight Directions Han Sword casually tossed over by Cao Han, Chen Hao was caught off guard and made a flustered effort, almost making a fool of himself by trying to catch the blade with his bare hands.

"Heavy!"

When Chen Hao first received the Eight Directions Han Sword, his first impression was that it was incredibly heavy. Even with his hybrid physique, which far surpassed that of ordinary people, he couldn't wield it with ease.

It took both hands to lift the heavy Bafang Han sword, and it looked far from being usable.

Chen Hao found it hard to imagine the terrifying strength that the person who used this sword in ancient times must have possessed.

"Try using sword control to manipulate it."

Cao Han's reminder was just right, and he realized that this weapon was exactly what he was good at.

The bright golden eyes were like a lamp in the dark night.

Under the control of the Sword Control Domain, the Eight Directions Han Sword in his hand became less heavy, and Chen Hao easily performed a sword flower by rotating his wrist on the empty ground.

After letting go, it can manipulate the flying in the air as if it were an extension of its own arm. From a distance, someone who doesn't know the reason might really mistake it for a sword immortal practicing sword control when they have nothing to do.

"How is it? Is it working well for you?"

"It's easy to handle, and it's even smoother to control than my throwing knives," Chen Hao said honestly.

"That's good. It's better than you using your sports car to perform gua sha on people all the time."

This all happened a few days ago, and Chen Hao still feels a little embarrassed listening to it, but he still stubbornly argues:

"It's not that I didn't recognize the other person's identity at first, or that I didn't intend to use the throwing knife to take their life. Besides, I think this sword must be very valuable. Otherwise, I'll just spend money to buy it from you, boss."

"You're going to spend money, huh? If you're being so distant, then you don't want to join our association."

"that is not."

"Don't worry about accepting it. I have many similar alchemical weapons in my bronze coffin. I will give Mingfei one as a gift after he finishes awakening. You don't need to feel pressured."

"Oh well."

Since things had already gone this far, Chen Hao had no choice but to shamelessly accept the gift.

Just a moment ago he had an embarrassed expression, as if he couldn't refuse, but now that he's accepted it, he can't wait to hug the sword to his chest and kiss it a couple of times.

"Bang--"

A sudden, overwhelming sense of pressure struck, and before he knew it, he lost control of the Eight Directions Han Sword, causing it to fall from mid-air to the ground.

Cao Han and Chen Hao reacted extremely quickly, both looking in the same direction...

It was unclear when, but Lu Mingfei had already awakened from his spiritual vision. His golden pupils were filled with a flame-like light, like a mirror reflecting fire.

His gaze, level with the emperor, was cold yet arrogant and calm, like a dark king awakening in the night, giving people immense pressure.
