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

Chapter 182 The Dragon King is so weak, [Piano] upgrades!
The moment the clock hand points to the number "four".

Without any warning sound, Lu Mingfei instinctively opened his eyes.

What I saw was a completely unfamiliar ceiling, with a faint light coming from the side, slowly floating around.

He sat up instinctively.

"woke up?"

A faint voice came from the side, and it was obvious that it belonged to Chu Zihang.

"Um……"

Lu Mingfei rubbed his eyes, and his vision quickly became clear.

He was in the same office as before, on a makeshift cot. Chu Zihang was sitting next to him, Ye Sheng was busy at his computer not far away, and Zhang Shanfeng was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting.

Previous memories quickly surfaced in his mind. It was clear that after the incident, in order to prevent a surprise attack when Lu Mingfei was off guard, Zhang Shanfeng had brought them back to the External Cooperation Branch for overnight protection.

"Senior brother, are you alright?" Lu Mingfei asked instinctively.

"without……"

"Please, of course he's fine. It's just that the external force hitting his carotid sinus triggered his body to automatically lower his blood pressure and heart rate, causing insufficient blood supply to the brain and making him faint... The other person controlled the force very well, and there were no aftereffects."

Ye Sheng interjected with a resentful tone.

"Am I the only one in this room who needs to do something? I've been working on it until now... It's already 4 a.m., another all-nighter!"

"Ha~ Don't make a fuss... There will be many more days like this in the future. I see that you have a talent for clerical work, so you can switch to an administrative position in the future."

Zhang Shanfeng, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, yawned and said casually.

"No!"

Ye Sheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Teacher, you must be joking, right? You must be!"

But Zhang Shanfeng clearly had no intention of continuing to pay attention to Ye Sheng, and instead got up from the sofa and went to Lu Mingfei's side.

"How are you? Do you feel anything unusual? We did a quick physical exam while you were asleep and only found minor muscle damage in both your arms, but now..."

As he spoke, his gaze lingered on Lu Mingfei's left and right arms for a moment, "It looks like it's healed on its own?"

"right……"

Lu Mingfei tried raising his hand, swinging it from side to side, and then pinching it. He did not feel any pain, swelling, or limited movement.

The consequence of using the entry 【Ming Jin · First Level】 is that it causes damage to the muscles in the affected area. Although Lu Mingfei used all his strength when he launched that stabbing attack, using his legs as support and his waist as the axis, the main source of power was still his hands.

With a physique that has been enhanced in all aspects, his normal strength is not beyond that of ordinary people, but his recovery ability is on a completely different level.

Muscle damage that would normally take an average person at least one to two weeks to fully recover from was repaired in him in the time it takes to take a nap!

Lu Mingfei got out of bed, tried to move his hands and feet and even jumped around a couple of times.

"I don't feel anything unusual."

"Um……"

Zhang Shanfeng nodded, showing no intention of asking any further questions about this unusual recovery ability.

"Tell me about the whole process."

His expression visibly turned serious.

"What happened to that enemy from the moment she appeared until she left? If there was any dialogue, it would be best to include it verbatim."

Chu Zihang, who was in charge of driving, was dizzy at the beginning and was unable to participate in the battle. When Zhang Shanfeng arrived, he only saw the fleeing black shadow from afar... Its speed was so astonishing that even if he could fly, he couldn't catch up. At most, he could tell that it was injured and that it was a woman.

There were no surveillance cameras on the overpass in that area, so only Lu Mingfei himself knew about the entire battle.

"Not a single word... different?"

Lu Mingfei's expression suddenly became somewhat strange, recalling the conversation about the battle...

Are there any concerns?

Zhang Shanfeng raised an eyebrow, then suddenly realized.

"You don't need to talk about how you won; just talk about the abilities she demonstrated and the things she said during the process."

"Is that even possible?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

"of course."

Zhang Shanfeng nodded.

"Personal ability is the most important trump card, and keeping it secret is a must. Sometimes, a difference in information can determine the outcome of a battle... let alone someone of your level."

"Oh." Lu Mingfei nodded and began to speak.

The process wasn't long; from the moment he saw those golden eyes in the exact same position until the shadow disappeared, it was less than a minute. Furthermore, the descriptions of the various abilities he used during this process were omitted.

"Although it was obvious from her voice that she was holding back to some extent, and she also made the mistake of being arrogant and conceited..."

After listening, Zhang Shanfeng frowned and analyzed the situation, then spoke hesitantly.

"But why do I feel that the strength she's displaying doesn't quite resemble that of the original species?"

"Really? So you think so too, Teacher Zhang."

Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly.

"But if that's the case, then it doesn't quite make sense."

Zhang Shanfeng stroked his beard, deep in thought.

"At the time, Yu Ji confidently stated that, given her connection with Xiang Yu, the only thing capable of making the Overlord Spear disobey her commands was a noble, first-generation pure-blooded dragon..."

"And me, and me, this rather special mixed-race person! Teacher, you need to be careful what you say!"

Since it concerned his own safety, Lu Mingfei corrected the mistake quite seriously.

"Otherwise, if we get into the habit of saying it, what if it causes a big problem?"

"Oh right, and you too... Anyway, according to this logical explanation, the one who summoned the Overlord Spear from afar should have been a first-generation species."

"So she really is a first-generation species, maybe she just released a lot of water... into the ocean?"

Lu Mingfei played the straight man in the joke.

"Even if you release water, it shouldn't be this bad."

Zhang Shanfeng gestured to Lu Mingfei to pick up the Overlord Spear that was placed aside and leaning against the wall, "Pay attention to the tip of the spear."

Lu Mingfei picked it up and was slightly taken aback.

The metallic sheen on the spearhead was partially obscured by a dark red hue, as if blood had completely seeped into it, adding to the grim atmosphere.

"Wouldn't that allow us to use DNA testing to find people?" Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up.

"...Let's not even talk about the fact that our DNA database is far from perfect enough to find people. Even if it were possible, it would still need to be able to extract the blood from this gun! Didn't you notice that it has been completely absorbed?"

Zhang Shanfeng rolled his eyes.

"What I mean is that she was actually hurt by you and bled! With the dignity of the First Generation, it's impossible for her to act to this extent."

"Is it possible that he has only recently awakened and has not yet fully recovered his strength?" Chu Zihang asked.

"It's not impossible..."

"So, should we treat her as a surrogate mother, or not?"

Lu Mingfei scratched his head.

"If this is truly a primitive species... then the Dragon King is far too weak, isn't he?"

……

Soon, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang got back into the car and drove back to the city. This time, Ye Sheng was driving. Logically speaking, someone who works until four in the morning should be considered driving while fatigued... but since they are of mixed race, their physical condition is excellent, so there is no need to worry about accidents.

In the back seat, Lu Mingfei finally had the mind to pay attention to the schedule.

It seems that the duration of the temporary schedule has been in effect since yesterday. This is rather special, as the temporary schedule, which has undergone an upgrade, will not trigger the warning for the daily schedule until it is settled.

But now, it can be settled.

With a thought from Lu Mingfei, semi-transparent characters appeared before his eyes.

【checking……】
