Lu Mingfei, why are you slaying dragons if you're not involved!

Chapter 148 The Fated Legend of Slaying the Dragon! (4K)

"I?"

Lu Mingfei pointed blankly at himself.

"to you."

"What an international joke!"

Lu Mingfei felt as if an atomic bomb had exploded in his brain, leaving it completely blank, as if all the wrinkles in his skin had been melted away. All his worries were blasted to ashes by this bizarre and absurd request.

Who was killed?
King of the Earth and Mountains!

Lu Mingfei already knew a little about the dragon race. The King of Earth and Mountains... It is said that he is the dragon king who symbolizes the ultimate power and destruction, and wields the power of authority. He is the most powerful dragon king among all the dragon kings!
And himself?

My current greatest achievement is completing a high school math exam in under ten minutes. I've only recently shed my "loser" image and become a "road god." My weapon is the "local specialty" Overlord Spear that I brought from Xiang Yu's tomb, and I don't even have the strength to use it yet. It's hard to say whether I'll betray him if I face the real boss. My strongest feat is rescuing Chu Zihang from that strange cloud by running fast...

He's just a nobody on the sidelines, okay? At most, he can be used as a boss template for a few seconds!

But now, the enemy's main force, a dragon that is at least a next-generation species, has jumped out and said, "Please, don't kill my king!"

"Has her brain been soaked in the Wujiang River? What's the difference between saying that and telling Benboerba, 'Don't go and kill Sun Wukong'!"

"The difference is that you are not Benboerba."

Su Xiaoqiang went through the idea she had come up with after hearing what Yu Ji had said in her mind again, and slowly said.

"Or is it what she called the 'destined super hybrid'?"

……

Twenty minutes later.

The gym was unusually lively. Chu Zihang, Zhang Shanfeng, and Ye Sheng had all arrived. Yu Ji was able to leave work early and come over after Su Xiaoqiang made a phone call to inform her, but she was still on her way.

All irrelevant personnel in the gym were cleared out, and military-grade high-power electronic jammers were deployed and activated to ensure that this first meeting between the National Bureau of Anomalies and a historically known pure-blooded dragon clan was kept under top-secret protection.

"I don't understand, why not move to the External Cooperation Division? There are clearly more secure, confidential rooms available..."

Ye Sheng, who had just finished scheduling these tasks, muttered to himself helplessly.

"Because Lu Ming insisted on working out, he's the main character today. How can we talk without him? Besides, since they've lowered themselves so much, we should show some sincerity too. What kind of talk is it to pull someone into a small, dark room to discuss things?"

Zhang Shanfeng, on the other hand, seemed quite pleased with himself, even nodding his chin at the ever-silent Chu Zihang, "You agree, right?"

"Teacher Zhang is right."

Chu Zihang nodded, and the long black tennis bag sat quietly beside him.

Clearly, there was sincerity involved, but also a great deal of caution.

"Don't you guys find something strange?"

Ye Sheng took a deep breath. The matter-of-fact tone in Zhang Shanfeng and Chu Zihang's voices made him start to doubt whether there was something wrong with his thinking.

"It's such a serious and solemn occasion, and Lu Mingfei is still working out! That's really strange!"

The three were sitting on a sofa in the rest area, some distance from the equipment area, waiting.

Over there, Lu Mingfei had already changed into his workout clothes, and Su Xiaoqiang was helping him record the time and number of repetitions as he trained in sets. At first glance, everything seemed to be normal.

But what is about to happen is a meeting between humans and pure-blooded dragons!
Because of the current "consensus" in the hybrid world regarding pure-blooded dragons, especially given the friendly cooperation between the National Bureau of Anomalies and the Secret Party, this matter cannot be exposed at all.

Therefore, the seriousness of this meeting was unimaginably high. He and Chu Zihang were able to come entirely because they had already come into contact with the relevant information. No other big shots came because there simply wasn't enough time.

This conversation could not even leave any electronic or paper records; all participants could only keep it in their minds.

But even in such a serious setting, the person in question was working out...

Where is this normal?

"You don't understand. If Mount Tai collapses before you, you will not change your expression; if a deer runs past on your left, you will not blink. Only then can you control the gains and losses and be ready to face the enemy."

Zhang Shanfeng lowered his voice, "This shows his confidence; no wonder he's a super hybrid!"

"So, Professor Zhang, you know what a super hybrid is?" Ye Sheng asked.

"of course."

Zhang Shanfeng nodded repeatedly, "Literally, a super powerful hybrid."

Ye Sheng and Chu Zihang: "..."

"Ahem... Okay, I don't know either. But one thing I do know is that it's absolutely ridiculously strong!"

Zhang Shanfeng coughed twice, realizing he had said something pointless, and then explained.

"It's understandable that you haven't had any contact with pure-blooded dragons yet, so you're not very clear about their character and strength."

They are incredibly proud and powerful beings. Sometimes, even when they are in poor condition and know they will die, they will not give up the fight, much less surrender before even winning! But the current situation… to be honest, it's a bit baffling even to me.”

"Because I was never a dragon to begin with."

A clear, cold female voice suddenly rang out.

The three of them paused, then looked at Su Xiaoqiang and Lu Mingfei with serious expressions. Their gaze passed between the two and went straight to the outside of the glass window.

The clear night sky had somehow become filled with a light, misty fog, just like the night three days ago.

This time, however, the other party did not run away but instead came to the door as invited.

Su Xiaoqiang opened the window.

Then a figure stepped out of the mist and into the gym, revealing its true form.

She was a sophisticated urban woman in a suit, with a gentle and beautiful appearance. At first glance, she didn't look like a dragon representing ferocity and cruelty at all, but rather a completely modern person.

"Word of Power: Kamaitachi?"

Zhang Shanfeng asked calmly, as if someone had thrown a torch into his eyes, dispelling the invisible weasel that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Yes."

Yu Ji replied frankly, "Please forgive me for the necessary precautions."

"Understandable."

Zhang Shanfeng raised an eyebrow slightly. "But... I have a question. Those mists, and your ability to float in mid-air, don't seem like something a Kamaitachi could do, right?"

"It's just a few words of power. Pure-blooded dragons of the third generation or higher can all do it, only the strength varies."

Yu Ji smiled slightly.

"However, apart from the first-generation Dragon King who can release all non-world-destroying incantations, the second and third-generation Dragon Kings can only release incantations of the bloodline to which they belong. For example, the retinue of the Bronze and Fire King can only release incantations of the Bronze and Fire lineage..."

Zhang Shanfeng fell silent for a moment, digesting the massive amount of information contained in those few short sentences.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Yu Ji cautiously and earnestly looked at Lu Mingfei, carefully examining this being who could make even the "living spirits" within the Overlord Spear submit, her tone respectful and dignified.

"Hello."

"Hello……"

Lu Mingfei had just finished a set of incline presses. His nose was numb and he was having trouble breathing. He could only manage a wry smile.

"Excuse me... could you please stop using such a cautious expression? And your tone too, I don't look that fierce!"

As he spoke, his strength began to recover, so his tone was slightly heavier in the last half of the sentence.

This was quite alarming. Yu Ji quickly moved to hide behind Su Xiaoqiang, only daring to peek out with half her head. "Sorry, it's just instinct."

"..."

Lu Mingfei, his face expressionless, turned to look at Zhang Shanfeng, who was still stunned.

"Teacher Zhang, please say something! Don't look at me like that, I'm so scared! I'm clearly a harmless, model student!"

Zhang Shanfeng thought to himself, "Don't be ridiculous. I just looked at your file. You've never received the 'Three Good Student' award! You were only able to join the Youth League because there were so many spots available in junior high..."

However, now is clearly not the time to say such things.

For Yu Ji, Lu Mingfei is the real target today, but for Zhang Shanfeng, Yu Ji is the one.

The entire hybrid race world has a large gap in its understanding of dragons, but Yu Ji's casual words just now, whether it was "third-generation races and above can release multiple words of power" or "except for first-generation races, they can only release subordinate words of power"... directly filled a large gap!
Of course, the accuracy of these messages remains to be verified, but it's important to understand that when researching an unknown field, the worst thing is not incorrect information, but a lack of information altogether.

This is a humanoid walking "treasure trove of dragon knowledge"!

"Ahem...Ms. Yu Ji, I can assure you that Lu Mingfei is indeed a model student and would never do anything cruel."

Zhang Shanfeng coughed twice, thinking that at worst he could just use his authority to send a few pictures to Lu Mingfei later, and quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"You just said that apart from the first-generation Dragon King, the other second-generation or third-generation Dragon Kings can only release the incantations of that lineage. But what you released was either wind or mist, and it even floated... Could it be that you belong to the King of the Sky and Wind?"

"Do not."

When speaking to Zhang Shanfeng, Yu Ji was no longer so cautious and careful. Although she still behaved politely, she was now on an equal footing.

With a flick of her wrist, a golden light shone in her eyes, and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air in her hand before dissipating.

“…The first generation?” Zhang Shanfeng raised an eyebrow.

Even with his status and experience, he felt a chill run down his spine for a moment... But after he came to his senses, he subconsciously looked at Lu Mingfei.

If Yu Ji is truly the first generation of the Dragon King, then what exactly is Lu Mingfei, who made her so fearful and cautious, even willing to surrender without a fight?
"Teacher, please don't look at me! I'm a good person... at least a human being!"

Lu Mingfei immediately protested, his face contorted with grief.

From the moment he was born, he never imagined that one day he would need to prove that he was human...

"it's not true."

Yu Ji shook her head slightly, "I am an extremely special case, you don't need to take that into account."

"Special..."

Zhang Shanfeng raised an eyebrow, recalling the words Yu Ji had said at the beginning.

"You mentioned before that you weren't originally... a dragon?"

"good."

Yu Ji nodded and recounted her first meeting with Su Xiaoqiang, including their initial encounter and their transaction.

If she wanted to gain people's trust, these things had to be explained. Since it concerned her deal with Su Xiaoqiang, clarifying the ownership of the item in Xiang Yu's tomb beforehand would prevent the external cooperation branch from interfering.

Unless you're willing to lose the big picture for the small gain!

"Therefore, although I have the body of a dragon, possess the power of a dragon, and have inherited many memories, I do not have the heart of a dragon."

"Why does that sound so familiar?"

Lu Mingfei finished another round and, after thinking for a moment, complained.

"What Ultraman human form?!"

"Ultraman...what is that?"

Yu Ji dared not be careless and immediately resumed her cautious state, asking tentatively, "I've only been in modern society for three days, and I don't know much about common sense. I will definitely learn it later..."

"I'd be so grateful if you treated me the same way you would Teacher Zhang."

Lu Mingfei waved his hand, no longer able to defend himself.

“At least for now, we know that the level of secrecy surrounding today’s events needs to be raised another order of magnitude…” Zhang Shanfeng also seemed somewhat powerless as he looked at Ye Sheng.

Are there even higher levels of security?

"Gone."

Ye Sheng said with a bitter face, "I'd rather work overtime in the office now... Teacher Zhang, you've really made my life miserable!"

"what's the situation?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

"I haven't even said anything yet, why are you all reacting so strongly?"

"You haven't enrolled yet, so it's normal that you don't know about this kind of thing."

Zhang Shanfeng instructed, "Chu Zihang, you explain this to Mingfei."

"Because it concerns 'evolution'."

Chu Zihang spoke up, "Dragons are powerful and immortal creatures, a temptation that many people cannot resist."

The sentence was simple, clear, and incredibly direct; Lu Mingfei understood it almost instantly: "Deadpool?"

"Deadpool is just an individual consumed by desire; they are failures. Some people, however, pursue the preservation of individual consciousness, wanting to become dragons, hence they call it 'evolution'."

Chu Zihang shook his head.

"Throughout history, countless bloodline purification techniques and drugs have been developed and refined, but no one has ever succeeded in the records."

When human genes are reduced to a mere fraction, they become like crushed breadcrumbs, exhibiting an astonishing "presence," impossible to eradicate by dragon genes, ultimately resulting in Deadpool. But now… a successful example is right before our eyes, so this absolutely cannot be revealed.”

"The good news is that at least we know that this is something that can only be done with the sacrifice of the first generation of Dragon Kings, and there are only a few who can do it."

Zhang Shanfeng took a deep breath and looked at Yu Ji. "Bad news... you know it without me having to tell you."

“I know, that’s why I have a request.”

Yu Ji looked at Lu Mingfei, "As long as you agree."

The gym fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, making Lu Mingfei's breathing as he did his set particularly noticeable.

Finally, after fifteen reps, he put the barbell down and opened his mouth, his voice already somewhat numb.

"Although I still want to say that this job is not something I can do, you've already put it this way, and..."

He looked at Su Xiaoqiang, their eyes meeting.

"I...it doesn't matter, it's up to you." Su Xiaoqiang turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.

But how could it not matter?
Lu Mingfei chuckled and looked at Yu Ji.

"I agreed."

"Thank you very much." Yu Ji bowed, clearly moved.

“I have a question about this.”

Zhang Shanfeng couldn't help but ask about the thing he cared about most.

"What does 'destined super hybrid' mean?"
