Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Using flesh and blood to withstand temperatures of thousands of degrees? That's simply a fantasy!

Just as the dragons were about to add more fuel to the fire, another hand emerged from the flames and clapped the two hands together.

Centered on the point where their palms collided, the immense force briefly created a vacuum chamber in the surrounding river water. Subsequently, the vacuum chamber collapsed, and the enormous impact spread outwards through the spherical interface, instantly scattering the surrounding flames. The dragon and Shude Mai were sent flying backwards in the shockwave.

Although Mai Shutoku's weight is far less than that of dragons, the invisible force around her body seems to have a protective effect, allowing her to fly a distance similar to that of dragons.

When she was hit by the shockwave from the water, Mai Shude felt as if an invisible wall was pushing towards her from the sky and the earth, with nowhere to hide.

If it weren't for the fact that her Word of Power "Misty Illumination" has evolved into the current "Diamond Realm" and possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities, this attack would probably have broken her ribs.

As the flames beneath the bronze gears dissipated, she could see Lu Mingfei within—a green giant whose presence stood out starkly against the surrounding dark bronze hue.

Holy crap! What kind of incantation is this? A bronze throne?!

Mai Shude felt that her knowledge of the power of words was being challenged.

The Bronze Throne is a high-ranking Word of Power, number 87 in sequence. It is extremely rare, and she has never seen it in person. However, in her understanding, the Bronze Throne only turns a person's skin bronze and greatly enhances their physical abilities. No one has ever said that the Bronze Throne can turn a person into a small giant and allow them to physically withstand extremely high-temperature flames.

"Roar—" The dragons that were knocked away let out a deafening roar, which was powerful even in the water and resonated faintly with the surrounding bronze walls.

The next moment, the dragon roared and charged toward Lu Mingfei, then suddenly turned around, its long tail sweeping across a fan-shaped area. It seemed to trust its own long tail more than the power of words.

The surrounding bronze walls shimmered with a faint light beneath their rust, and the dragon's long tail was covered with a layer of bronze light of the same color—this was the domain of the King of Bronze and Fire, a city and a living alchemical realm. Although only the Dragon King himself could truly awaken its power, as one of the dragon servants here, he could also awaken a little bit of the alchemical realm's power.

The bronze light swept towards Lu Mingfei, like an executioner's blade about to cut a person in half, but it stopped abruptly when it hit Lu Mingfei's waist, as if a blade of grass was trying to cut through a rock.

A pair of large, bronze-colored hands gripped the dragon's tail.

Lu Mingfei gave the dragons a kind smile on his handsome face.

He immediately twisted his waist, swung his arm, and slammed it down!

The dragon's body, which was over ten meters long, was swung around by Lu Mingfei, who was holding its tail. It kept crashing into the surrounding bronze walls and gears, and dragon scales and gear parts were scattered all over the water.

Swing! Smash! Swing! Smash!

Holding the dragon's thick, long tail in his arms, Lu Mingfei began to understand why Hulk liked to use slams to deal with Loki—because it was really fun and stress-relieving.

It's a pity that Loki in Tony's World seems to be about to be sent back to Asgard for imprisonment, otherwise Lu Mingfei would love to experience the joy of swinging Loki around and slamming him down.

Just as Lu Mingfei was feeling regretful, the metal attached to the dragon's long tail suddenly disintegrated and shattered. The originally thick and long dragon tail instantly shrank by one or two sizes, and the dragon was thus violently flung away, crashing into the bronze wall of the hall with a sound like the ringing of a bell, but dozens of times louder.

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow and strode towards the dragon, which was dazed and confused after being thrown around. His golden-green pupils flashed with a fierce light in the water.

"Awooo—" the dragon whimpered and instinctively retreated, only to find itself pressed against the wall with nowhere left to go.

The dragons chanted their dragon script aloud, unleashing their Word of Power: Sword Control. The surrounding metal swirled and sliced ​​towards Lu Mingfei, but it was more like willow catkins brushing against his face.

Lu Mingfei approached the dragon step by step. Although it was difficult to discern any expression on the dragon's face, Jiu De Mai was certain that the dragon was showing signs of fear.

If it weren't for the lingering pain, Mai Shude would have doubted whether she was dreaming.

She was unwilling to abandon Lu Mingfei and run away alone, saying that she "wouldn't abandon her teammates," which was a half-truth—she did have the principle of not easily abandoning her teammates, but Lu Mingfei could not be considered her teammate, but rather her mission objective.

The boss asked her to contact Lu Mingfei, guide him to find the Dragon King's Egg in the Bronze City, and protect him.

"What the hell? I'm protecting this thing? He swings a dragon more easily than I swing a sack!" Mai Shude smirked.

"Boss, are you there? Look at that dragon cornered against the wall. If Lu Mingfei's expression were any fiercer, that dragon would be terrified and cry!"

Mai Shude thought to herself, "This is what I'm complaining about!"

"Please stop, distinguished guest." A dark shadow, obscuring the sky, stood atop the dome of the bronze hall.

He was stronger and larger than the dragons in the corner, standing almost six stories tall. His wings were folded behind him, and if spread out in the sunlight, the shadow would probably cover a medium-sized cruise ship.

If it flaps its giant wings on the river, the river water will flow back onto the land.

Upon seeing the dark shadow above the dome, Mai Shude's scales bristled with trembling.

A sub-genius! It was a living sub-genius! Even in the era when dragons ruled the land, it was a noble creature capable of controlling a vast fiefdom!

Before embarking on the mission, Mai Shude prepared a vial of Ancient Dragon Serum, which is equivalent to a potion that can unleash one's bloodline potential, but its effects far surpass any similar products on the market because it is a precious substance extracted from the embryos of ancient dragons.

After being injected with the serum, she will gain a body comparable to that of a low-level dragon within four hours, and her Word of Power will also evolve accordingly. So-called S-class hybrids may only be considered "slightly stronger" in front of her.

Being stared at by a true sub-species, she felt as if the water around her was about to freeze, and her domain of incantations was on the verge of collapse.

But even such a colossal figure couldn't hide the awe and fear in his eyes when he looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Who are you?" Lu Mingfei lightly leaped onto the dome of the bronze hall.

After transforming into the Hulk, Lu Mingfei doesn't even need to breathe in the conventional sense. Therefore, even though his diving suit is in pieces, it doesn't affect his normal movement or even his speech in the water.

"Samson, the Dragon Servant of His Majesty Norton," the Second Generation proclaimed, head held high.

"Norton? Is Norton the name of the King of Bronze and Fire?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"You've been in contact with His Majesty, and you didn't know?" Samson retorted.

"I've met... the King of Bronze and Fire?" Lu Mingfei blinked blankly.

178. Chapter 177 Could Old Tang be Norton?

In the Bronze City.

Samson stretched out his body and spread his wings in the water, like a passenger plane flying beneath the surface of the water, crossing the bronze city below.

In fact, he is now serving as a passenger plane, with Lu Mingfei and Jiu De Mai sitting on his back.

The dragons, who were described as tyrannical and cruel in ancient records, did not seem so brutal at this moment. They flew steadily, and Lu Mingfei felt that sitting on the dragon was more stable than sitting on a boat.

His diving suit had long since been reduced to countless pieces and left lying on the ground; only his underwear remained intact.

"What do you mean by saying I've seen the King of Bronze and Fire?" Lu Mingfei asked.

“You bear the marks of His Majesty Norton, and I would never mistake them,” Samson said. “Other dragons may not be able to discern such marks, but I am His Majesty’s servant, and besides His Majesty Constantine, I am the closest person to His Majesty Norton. I could never mistake his marks. Moreover, the marks His Majesty left on you are benevolent, which is why I allowed you to walk in White Emperor City.”

Sitting on Samson's back, Jiudemayi pursed her lips—"Is that because of your friendly demeanor? I'm too embarrassed to point it out!"

“Constantine? Is he another dragon king who has a good relationship with Norton? What kind of king is he?” Lu Mingfei asked.

Before Samson could speak, Joadelle said, "Constantine is also the King of Bronze and Fire. Every dragon king is a twin, and Norton and Constantine together make up the complete King of Bronze and Fire."

After injecting the Ancient Dragon Serum, Mai Shude will undergo dragonification. During this period, her bloodline will gradually become out of control. However, thanks to the Ancient Dragon Serum being extracted from an Ancient Dragon embryo, it has extremely high stability. Therefore, she is safe for up to four hours. After four hours, she can stop this erosion by injecting a locking agent in time.

With the help of the Ancient Dragon Serum, she hardly needed any oxygen anymore, so she simply took off her diving helmet, and her long, dark hair, tied in a high ponytail, floated in the water.

If there is any drawback, it is that even in the first four hours when she is safe, she will gradually develop more violent emotions due to the influence of her bloodline.

But sitting on the back of a second-generation creature, with a burly green giant beside her, Mai Shude felt incredibly peaceful, not daring to harbor even the slightest bit of violence within her.

She even deliberately chose a ladylike sitting posture with her legs together and sitting sideways.

"You bastard, you seem to know a lot about my people?" Samson's voice came from below. Every time he spoke, Jiude Mai felt as if the ship she was on had started to sound its horn.

Mai Shude completely ignored Samson's label of "bastard." As a half-blood, she didn't expect pure-blooded dragons to be polite to her; that was unrealistic.

But Lu Mingfei raised his hand and punched Samson on the back: "Speak politely!"

I am also of mixed race.

"It's none of my business if you insult Jiu De Mai, but it's intolerable to include me in your insults," Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Samson roared in pain after being struck by the hammer and plummeted downwards, leaving Lu Mingfei and Jiu Demai lying beneath him.

Originally sitting on Samson's back in a rather ladylike manner, Mai Shude found it difficult to adjust her posture as she was now suspended in mid-air and began to fall. Just as she was about to adjust her posture and levitate, Lu Mingfei reached out and grabbed one of her arms, pulling her back.

Mai Shude's body stiffened, feeling as fragile as a stalk of wheat caught in a vise, as if Lu Mingfei might accidentally crush her arm with a "smack" at any moment.

"Are you afraid of water or swimming?" Lu Mingfei asked, puzzled.

He could feel that Mai Shude's arms were stiff, and he could also see that her expression was not very natural.

But that doesn't make sense. This woman swam so smoothly when she took him to find Shudeya, and after her body was covered in scales, she didn't even need to wear a diving helmet. What could she possibly be afraid of?

As Lu Mingfei gripped her arm, Mai Jiude's eyelids twitched. She wondered if there was any possibility that what she was actually afraid of was him.

Thinking back to how she had recently tried to flirt with Lu Mingfei on the Moniach, Mai Shude suddenly admired her own courage at the time.

Fortunately, Samson quickly adjusted his posture, and Lu Mingfei pulled Jiu Demai back onto Samson's back.

Mai Shude remained in her usual ladylike and quiet posture, head bowed, eyes downcast, exuding an air of "well-behavedness".

“I’m sorry, distinguished guests,” Samson said, “I will change my address. How about calling you ‘Dragonborn’ or ‘Half-Blood’?”

“Let’s call you ‘Hybrid.’ You’re a dragon and you call me ‘Dragonborn,’ it sounds like I’m your descendant. I feel like you’re taking advantage of me,” Lu Mingfei complained.

“Okay,” Samson nodded.

"Do you have any knowledge about the world of humans and hybrids?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Samson has been speaking Chinese since he appeared, and he even has a mixed accent from both the north and south. In addition, he just used the terms "dragon descendant" and "hybrid" to ask Lu Mingfei this question.

"His Majesty Norton was originally cocooning and recovering with His Majesty Constantine, but not long ago His Majesty Norton broke free of his cocoon ahead of schedule and left White Emperor City alone. He is probably living in the human world in human form, because this has happened before," Samson said. "Because of this, I left White Emperor City to look for His Majesty, but for some reason I could not find any trace of His Majesty, so I returned to White Emperor City to wait. In the process of looking for His Majesty, I learned about the current humans and hybrids again."

"You came straight back after failing to find you?" Lu Mingfei smirked. "Looks like you don't really care about your boss."

"His Majesty Norton is the reason for my existence! My loyalty to His Majesty is beyond question!" Samson suddenly became excited, and after calming down, he explained, "His Majesty Norton must have not yet regained his memory when he first woke up, so he left White Emperor City in a daze. I was unable to find him, but it doesn't matter. Once His Majesty regains his memory, he will naturally return and ascend the throne again!"

"How can you be so sure he'll regain his memories?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously. "What if he gets killed before he regains his memories?"

"Hahahahahaha... Nonsense!" Samson laughed. "His Majesty is the strongest dragon king, not some weakling like Jormungandr that even I might not be able to defeat. As long as His Majesty is stimulated or his life is threatened, his memories and power will naturally awaken and crush all invading enemies!"

Got it, he's still a Norton fanatic.

Lu Mingfei twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself that the fans' filter was truly terrifying.

But according to Samson, could it be that he had actually come into contact with Norton in a state of amnesia by accident?

But he doesn't know many people in total. Norton is probably a man, so let's exclude the women he knows first, and then the remaining people...

Wait... being stimulated will restore memories and powers...

Lu Mingfei's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered someone.

He met an acquaintance who played StarCraft with him and they even bumped into each other in Vianaburg.

If he remembered correctly, Old Tang was initially a hybrid with a very low bloodline level and no incantation. However, when he heard Susie chant the incantation "Emperor," Old Tang suddenly became powerful and transformed into a high-level hybrid with a bloodline level of at least A, although he still did not have an incantation.

However, he could see the "lines" of the alchemical matrix, and could unleash powerful energy by simply grasping any alchemical weapon...

Depend on!
