Chapter 31 The First Saint Sect
The black tentacles blocking the way were dealt with by Xia Mi in an instant, but the mysterious person hiding behind them still refused to show up.
Xia Mi remembered the other person, and also recalled the series of events that had occurred in Nibelungen. But why would the other person come here? What was his purpose?
Xia Mi landed on the treetop, her crimson-gold eyes scanning the surroundings emotionlessly, but found nothing; the other party seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"Hiding its head and revealing its tail," Xia Mi muttered softly.
She could sense that the other party had already left the place; having failed in their attack, they had fled far away—they were overly cautious.
However, she actually saw Lu Mingfei on the train just now.
Could the other person also be a mixed-race individual? But why can't she sense any trace of their bloodline at all?
The world after its awakening is truly becoming more and more interesting.
Never mind, getting back to the academy is the priority.
Xia Mi cut off her thoughts, leaped into the air, and disappeared into the distant horizon.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Angers and his companion, who were still searching for Lu Mingfei, finally made a discovery: their highly anticipated S-class Lu Mingfei had just crashed into a mound and passed out.
······
The fact that the principal's special train was attacked on its way back to the college was suppressed and only known to a small circle of people.
Fingel, who witnessed the whole thing, was put on a gag order, and even Lu Mingfei, who was found later, was repeatedly told not to tell anyone about it.
After all, a mysterious person suddenly appeared, hijacked the special train, and escaped unscathed from Principal Angers's clutches.
In today's world of mixed-race people, there are probably very few who could do this, and these people are all old acquaintances of Angers. Most of them are big shots who hold sway over their respective regions, and they simply don't have the time or opportunity to make a move.
Once the possibility of hybrids being responsible is ruled out, the truth seems exceptionally clear.
"Based on your description and the surveillance footage we could find, the dragon that attacked you is most likely from the lineage of the King of Earth and Mountains," the vice principal said, sipping his beer after reviewing the data.
"Hmm." Angers nodded absentmindedly, pouring himself a glass of whiskey, his eyes fixed on the swaying liquid inside.
"Hey, were you even listening to what I was saying?" the vice-principal said helplessly. "Our once-prosperous Dragon-Slaying Academy has now been attacked by a dragon right on our doorstep. As the principal, shouldn't you be doing something about it?"
"I have approved the Kuimen Project," Angers said out of the blue.
"So fast? Weren't you told that the preliminary exploration wasn't finished yet?"
"It's too late. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. We can no longer follow the previous plan step by step." Angers did not drink the whiskey in his glass, but instead poured it directly onto the floor in front of him.
"Hey, my floor!" The vice principal was a little annoyed. Although he had been using this attic as a doghouse, one should still consider the owner before beating a dog!
"Take this to the equipment department and see if there's any way to restore it." Angers calmly tossed the cloth bag he was carrying onto the table, then turned and left without looking back.
"That old guy," the vice principal muttered, completely disregarding the fact that he was also one of the "old guys" the vice principal was referring to.
Curious, he opened the bag, and the remains of a folding knife with a broken blade came into view.
The vice-principal's face immediately turned solemn. He recognized the knife and understood its significance to Angers.
"Go crazy, go crazy, it's good to be a little crazy." He sighed.
······
After leaving the hospital observation room, Lu Mingfei made up an excuse to send Finger away casually. After confirming that no one was around, he went to the bathroom.
Take off your clothes and turn on the shower.
The scalding hot water instantly enveloped his entire body, but he felt no discomfort whatsoever.
At that moment, a tentacle emerged from the shadow beneath his feet.
Lu Mingfei observed the tentacle, feeling that his risk of exposure in chasing after and attacking the mysterious man in black robes was worthwhile.
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.
He successfully obtained a precious blood sample from the other party.
Although the identity of this mysterious man in black robes is unknown, judging from his strength, even if he is a dragon, his bloodline level must be extremely high.
This is undoubtedly like a pillow being delivered to someone who is sleepy; perhaps this is the opportunity for Lu Mingfei to break through to S-level.
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly occurred to him.
The crimson blood in the tentacles merged into his body, initially feeling warm, but in an instant it felt as if a fire was burning through Lu Mingfei's limbs and bones.
He turned the shower on full blast of cold water, the icy water splashing against his body, yet producing a puff of white steam.
Lu Mingfei felt as if he were in an endless fiery domain.
He recalled a line from the Lotus Sutra:
The three realms are without peace, like a burning house, filled with all kinds of suffering, which is truly terrifying. There is constant worry and pain of birth, old age, sickness, and death, just like these fires that burn endlessly.
This time, he truly experienced what it means to be "burning brightly".
A cold shower was no longer enough to relieve his pain.
Lu Mingfei rushed out of the bathroom and pounced on the refrigerator.
He poured bottle after bottle of chilled liquid down his throat, but it only provided temporary relief from the pain.
In the end, Lu Mingfei even squeezed himself into the refrigerator.
The cold air hitting his body made him a little more awake.
Breaking through the limits of hybrid races is indeed extremely difficult.
However, this pain was nothing compared to the terrifying experience he had in his previous life when he was hiking in the Qinling Mountains in search of immortals and almost reincarnated due to getting lost, dehydration, and hypothermia.
Finally, as time passed, the nameless fire gradually subsided, and Lu Mingfei regained control of his body.
He opened his eyes, and golden light shimmered in his pupils.
Golden eyes. Lu Mingfei knew that this was the most distinctive mark of a mixed-race person.
It is said that some people with exceptionally outstanding lineage in history may never have their golden eyes extinguished.
But simply acquiring a pair of golden eyes is far from enough for Lu Mingfei.
He clenched his fist, then released it, and a power far greater than before surged through his body.
He can now be said to have truly crossed the S-class threshold.
However, the information he saw later did not classify the subsequent levels, because it was no longer the domain of hybrids, but belonged exclusively to dragons.
Lu Mingfei felt it was time for him to go and slay a dragon to hone his skills.
However, he still needs to do some preparation before that.
Lu Mingfei dialed the landline: "Hello, it's me."
"Principal Lu, what can I do for you? I'll do my best to help." Fingel's obsequious voice rang out.
Whether he can graduate depends entirely on whether he can take good care of Lu Mingfei, whom he originally thought was his junior, but who turned out to be the principal.
"Borrow all the books about dragons from the library for me," he said.
"All of them?" Fingel paused for a moment, but ultimately agreed without hesitation. "No problem. Is there anything else you require?"
Any other requirements?
"Help me register a new club. What do you think of 'The First Sage Sect'?"
