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

Chapter 223 Naked Run
"More advanced suits are certainly available. The kind you're looking for, the same as Superman's, is hard to find, but if it's just fire resistance and frost protection, the guys in the equipment department should be able to manage with a little effort..."

Ye Sheng answered subconsciously, his mind still reeling from the series of shocking events, realizing the real reason why Lu Mingfei was asking this question.

"What are you still doing there? Come on up. We can deal with the rest of the problems together after we've explained what happened."

"If I could go up there, I would have already..."

Lu Mingfei had a long face. This was the first time he had fought so unrestrainedly, activating all his abilities without fear of consumption! It was extremely exhilarating, but precisely because it was his first time and he had no experience, he hadn't considered the things he needed to pay attention to after the battle.

The battle was over, but could it also be said that it wasn't? After all, the final outcome between the main combatant and Jormungandr hadn't been decided, and Jormungandr had escaped once again.

That attack, which came with both "precise hit" and "absolute hit," seemed to terrify her. After that final clash, she burrowed deep underground and left.

Having mastered the power of the earth and its forces, she could move freely in the deepest parts of the earth, but Lu Mingfei could not. Even though his power was strong after simulating the phenotype of the first generation, it was still limited, while the gravity of the soil and rocks was endless.

Moreover, the consumption of [Phenotype Simulation] this time was minimal, not nonexistent! Time was limited, and it was uncertain whether they could catch up if they continued to chase. The underground area was still the opponent's true home ground, and everyone understands the principle of not pursuing a defeated enemy. Considering all these factors, Lu Mingfei chose to let the opponent go, as a way of repaying the opponent for letting him off the hook last time.

Regarding the fact that phenotypic simulation still involves consumption, based on this, Lu Mingfei felt that he was still different from the original species, and could still be considered human. It's just that within the category of "hybrids," he might be slightly closer to a dragon... a tiny bit?

Whether it's true or not, he believed it anyway.

The reason Lu Mingfei is currently unable to ascend is quite simple. Because his first battle was so exhilarating, Lu Mingfei completely overlooked one thing—when he transforms into a dragon, his size changes!

Those ferocious bone spikes, with their sharp, solid scales, resembled daggers. With each opening and closing, they formed an incredibly sharp array of blades. The action suit Lu Mingfei wore naturally had some protective capabilities, but it was impossible for it to withstand such an "attack"!
In just one encounter, it was shattered, barely recognizable as "tattered." As flames erupted, and the impact of mud, rocks, and metal fragments "polished" it, coupled with Lu Mingfei's inevitable growth and height as he transformed into a dragon...

All the clothes were naturally and completely destroyed as a result, leaving not a single piece.

This is precisely why Lu Mingfei felt he really needed Superman's suit—it seems that Superman's suit never broke when he was injured facing powerful enemies, right? The various defensive attributes are simply amazing! It might even be more monstrous than Superman's physical strength? It's practically a "causal equipment" just like Superman's glasses that make him unrecognizable when he wears them.

When he was in dragon form, it was fine. His body was covered in scales and bone spurs, which could be considered a full-body suit of armor, so he wasn't exactly fighting naked. As a result, Lu Mingfei didn't notice it at all. But after the battle, he didn't notice it at all until he returned along the underground passage and was about to meet people. When he turned off his dragon form, he only felt a chill all over his body and stepped on the hard ground, and then he noticed it.

Releasing from his dragon form was a completely subconscious act for Lu Mingfei. He didn't want anyone else to see him in that state, even though he thought it looked pretty cool... But this wasn't just a cool skin; its actual symbolic meaning was astonishing.

Hybrids who fall into depravity become Deadpools. Deadpools also have scales and bone spikes, but they are mindless beasts with only instinctive bloodlust and cruel desires! Moreover, they are far more subservient to pure-blooded dragons of high bloodlines than any second-generation or third-generation hybrids, and are completely obedient puppets.

But Lu Mingfei not only retains his sanity, but can also fight directly against the original species, which definitely makes him more than just Deadpool, not to mention he also has his signature bone wings...

What exactly is that? It's so hard to guess!

Then he'd be completely unable to defend himself. Lu Mingfei knew he wasn't right; his strength came from 99% hard work and 1% help from his schedule. But he certainly wouldn't tell anyone about his schedule. Besides, even if he did, whether he could explain it clearly, and whether others would listen after he explained, were all different matters. In this matter, only Senior Brother Chu was completely trustworthy… but what about the others?

"Is there any injury?"

Ye Sheng asked with a serious expression, subconsciously preparing to walk towards Lu Mingfei. He still hadn't figured it out and was still imagining the situation as extremely serious.

Such behavior is understandable, after all, as the squad leader, apart from some basic command, he could be said to have "played a minor role" this time. This alone put him under great psychological pressure, not to mention witnessing the apocalyptic scene earlier, which shocked him to his core.

"Don't come any closer!" "Don't go any further!"

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang spoke simultaneously, pressing Ye Shengcai's foot back to the ground. Before Ye Shengcai could ask any questions, Nuonuo spoke up.

"Maybe there's a big public bathhouse or something down there, a natural hot spring? I was taking a bath when I happened to witness the commotion. My clothes were all blown away, so I had to run back naked."

Ye Sheng: "???"

This is nothing!
"That's how it is, right?"

Nono calmly looked at Lu Mingfei, who was also stunned, and said, "This is how I 'profiled' him."

Sister, your profiling skills seem to have gone wrong. This isn't just forgery; it's blatant fabrication!
Just as Lu Mingfei was about to utter his rebuttal, he suddenly noticed Chu Zihang's slight nod.

In an instant, he suddenly realized.

What could be more convincing than "profile"? The reasons may be absurd, but no one actually witnessed it! And they can't produce any evidence!

"Yes, that's what happened!"

……

"I understand the logic... but why did they give me pants with an open crotch?"

Lu Mingfei walked along the road, which had become somewhat bumpy, with one foot on the left and one foot on the right. He had changed into the clothes that Guan Ying had sent and was leading everyone to the scene when he suddenly felt a chill down his groin.

Although there was an extremely long outer robe covering it, the most important parts were still directly exposed.

To be honest, even during the battle with the first generation of the race just now, he didn't feel this uneasy!
