Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

The barrage of bullets was as dazzling as the trajectories of shooting stars. Lin Ye didn't even blink, firing at the constantly falling scales the entire time. Each of these shooting stars converged on the very center of the dragon scale. He fired eight more shots in an instant, but the result remained unchanged. In the end, the jet-black dragon scale fell back into the black quartz briefcase that had been holding it.

Call ~

Lin Ye blew on the white smoke rising from the muzzle of the gun.

He stepped forward to examine the jet-black dragon scale. Despite being struck by nine shots, a deep, dark light still flowed across the scale, and there wasn't even a crack on it.

Lin Ye couldn't help but think, if this thing could be turned into a shield, wouldn't it be Captain America's shield?

Bang!!!!!!!

Excited applause came from one side; it was Masashi Toyama.

At this moment, the middle-aged instructor said excitedly to Lin Ye, "Lin Ye, I didn't expect your marksmanship to be so accurate, and even your physical strength is very high. No wonder you were recommended by Genjiro!"

In the shooting just now, Lin Ye fully demonstrated his powerful physical abilities. The reason why the opponent fired nine shots in a row was because the PPK magazine only had nine bullets. Masafumi Tomiyama believed that if there were more bullets, Lin Ye could have easily fired them all.

Throughout Lin Ye's shooting, the boy showed no signs of strain. He fired the gun with one hand the entire time, his arm didn't even tremble, and his body was as steady as a rock, remaining unmoved no matter how the waves crashed against him.

More importantly, the opponent's shooting accuracy was still astonishing. After all, it was in such dim light, and the dragon scale was in a fast-moving and unpredictable state. Even so, Lin Ye was able to hit the very center of the dragon scale with every shot.

As a Japanese, Masafumi Toyama seemed to have heard of a legendary sharpshooter in the East named Yan Shuangying, who was known for his double-gun wielding and relentlessly shooting down Japanese soldiers with deadly accuracy.

Lin Ye's absolutely outstanding performance has completely won him over. Lin Ye is his Yan Shuangying. Tomiyama Masashi also believes that with Lin Ye's combat strength, entering Kassel College will also win over many people.

"Professor Masafumi Tomiyama, you flatter me too much."

Lin Ye said humbly.

"Lin Ye, your performance just now was indeed outstanding. This will also be a plus when you enter Kassel College for the assessment."

Schneider's cold tone indicated that despite Lin Ye's excellent performance, he had only gained Schneider's initial approval.

Schneider looked at Masashi Tomiyama again, "If it's possible, I think we can have another witnessing session."

"Okay, let's proceed with the second verification."

Masashi Tomiyama knew that Schneider had high expectations for his students, so Lin Ye's performance was only considered quite good by Schneider, but that was already a very high evaluation.

Upon hearing this, Masashi Tomiyama nodded solemnly, and then pulled out a long, black box from under the table.

There was a loud clang.

Although the black box had not yet been opened, a sharp and cold aura emanated from inside, sounding like the drawing of a very powerful sword. At that moment, the lights in the carriage flickered, as if there was a huge electrical disturbance.

Even the pores all over Lin Ye's body involuntarily contracted. In that instant, he felt as if an invisible cold current had swept over his body.

A sudden gust of cold wind swept through the entire carriage.

The wind was eerie. This was a completely enclosed retro carriage, yet at this moment a sharp, chilling wind blew through it, like a peerless swordsman facing a swarm of assassins in a storm. The swordsman fearlessly drew his sword, and its cold light instantly illuminated the heavens and the earth.

Masashi Tomiyama's expression also turned serious. He carefully placed the long, black box in front of everyone, as if it were not a simple object and that some kind of terrifying monster was hidden inside.

Lin Ye also carefully examined the box, which was nearly two meters long. It appeared to be made of aluminum alloy, covered in black leather, with detailed edges reinforced with sturdy steel. A metal nameplate was engraved with the letter "S" on one corner.

The style.

"Wow, you even brought something like this! You really think highly of us!"

Fingel, holding a hot chocolate in his hand, glanced at it from afar and immediately gasped.

As for why he was here, it was naturally because he was suddenly startled by the gunshots coming from this carriage while he was asleep.

Of course, he couldn't possibly be shot. The entire train was specially forged, and even missiles made by the Equipment Department couldn't penetrate it, let alone a mere alchemical bullet.

Fingel screamed purely out of fright.

He thought the CC1000 train had been attacked while speeding along, and the gunfire was so loud that the enemy was obviously right in front of him.

But he quickly realized it was because Lin Ye was being tested.

So I quickly made myself a cup of hot chocolate to calm my nerves.

Upon seeing the designer brand, Fingel's eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

The fact that it starts with the letter S means that the items inside this black box are top-tier artifacts from the deepest part of the Kassel College's ice cellar. The number on it represents the 406th item the college acquired from the depths of the cellar in 2006. It's important to know that every artifact starting with "S" is an extremely rare treasure, and each one is directly related to the Dragon Clan ruins. It's unexpected that it would be used to witness the existence of Lin Ye, an exchange student.

What a big deal.

Fingel looked on with a sigh, recalling his unbearable past.

Fingel would never forget that his supposed witnessing wasn't like Lin Ye's. Instead, Kassel College directly assigned him a rather thin, elderly professor as his sparring partner, supposedly to test Fingel's Bronze Throne. At first, Fingel was a little embarrassed, feeling like he was bullying the old and weak. Then, the old professor unleashed an enhanced version of the Bronze Throne, and the thin old man's entire body rapidly expanded, eventually resembling a muscular Barbie doll.

The old man clashed his fists together and asked Fingel, looking fierce, if he was convinced. At that time, Fingel was still young and fearless, and he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction, feeling that he could not be outdone no matter what. As a result, the old professor suddenly exploded and beat Fingel mercilessly. In the end, Fingel, with a bruised and swollen face, was completely convinced.

"Sigh, it's so hard to compare people..."

Fingel sighed softly, overwhelmed with sadness, and hurriedly went to get another cup of hot chocolate.

Lin Ye's heart was also shaken.

Before him, the long, dark box seemed to be breathing with an extremely long breath, thanks to his keen senses. In other words, what was inside was definitely not an inanimate object, but more like a... living creature.

Masashi Tomiyama took out two dark gray, oddly shaped keys from his chest pocket and inserted them into the locks on both sides of the box. He rotated one key clockwise and the other counterclockwise. The box emitted a very regular clicking and turning sound. The metal blades inside began to interlock and mesh, and then slowly retracted. With a whoosh, the long box popped open from the middle with a crack.

A streak of dark golden light flowed out from the crack, and for a moment the entire carriage was filled with turbulent energy.

Masashi Tomiyama's expression grew increasingly solemn. He looked up at Schneider, who didn't say anything but calmly nodded. Seeing the executive director's decision, Tomiyama took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and completely opened the box.

In an instant, a strong wind arose, and the entire carriage seemed to transform into a desolate and chilling battlefield. Lin Ye immediately looked into the box and saw a knife lying inside.

This knife is about 110 centimeters long. At first glance, its shape resembles a Tang Dynasty horizontal sword from ancient times in the East. However, the blade is extremely plain, as if it has been corroded by wind and sand for many years. The surface is covered with holes, making it look extremely broken. At first glance, it looks like some kind of scrap metal. If it were to fall on the road, even a scrap collector would not bend down to pick it up, because they would think that such a broken piece of iron, especially one that is so severely corroded, would not fetch much money.

Yet, this same dilapidated ancient sword exuded such a terrifying aura. Those present stared at the sword as if they were staring at the tip of a needle at close range, their hearts pounding with fear, as if their entire being had been forcibly filled by this ancient sword.

Masashi Toyama took a step and a half back and solemnly began to explain the origin of the sword.

"This ancient sword is an alchemical weapon. In 2006, our executive officer from Kassel College participated in an auction in the East and unintentionally acquired this item. You know, alchemical weapons usually attract the attention of many hybrid factions, but this one is quite peculiar because the seller was a group of tomb raiders. They were eager to sell these shady items quickly, so they sold the sword in a very hasty manner."

Of course, a large part of the reason is that they thought the knife was just so-so and didn't have much value. But they were wrong, because the alchemical craftsmanship of this weapon was absolutely astonishing. The reason it looked ordinary was because its core had not yet been truly activated. Once activated, it would shine with its former brilliance.

Later, after this item was acquired by our Kassel College, some experts and scholars, through their research, restored a trace of its original power to the knife, which is why it appears so impactful now. The box serves as the knife's sheath.

As he spoke, Masashi Tomiyama cautiously stepped forward again and carefully rotated both sides of the black box, allowing the knife to spin under the light.

"Look closely at the pattern on it."

As the blade rotates, layers of whirlwind-like patterns are imprinted on the broken blade under different angles of light, giving the impression that even after countless years, these patterns are still clearly engraved on it. Now, under Masashi Tomiyama's rotation, these patterns seem to come alive.

As Lin Ye focused intently on the scene, he felt the patterns begin to rotate, and in an instant, countless clanging sounds rang out, as if countless long swords were slashing towards him.

Just as Lin Ye was intently observing the whirlwind-like patterns on the blade, a sudden and dramatic change occurred.

Suddenly, alchemical longswords slashed towards him, attacking Lin Ye in an instant. At this moment, a normal person would probably have been frightened and retreated, and even a hybrid would have used his Word of Power to counterattack.

It should be noted that each of these longswords is an alchemical weapon. Even a hybrid would be instantly killed after being attacked, so any resistance would have to be swift.

Just as these attacks reached Lin Ye, he remained completely unmoved.

The opponent didn't even blink. Just as the long blades were getting closer and closer, and were about to pierce Lin Ye's face, they silently turned into specks of light and disappeared.

Yes, what just happened was merely an illusion created by the alchemical weapon inside the box, not a real attack.

"Lin Ye, I didn't expect you to be able to see through this illusion so early on. You are truly a promising young man!"

Masashi Tomiyama looked at Lin Ye with a shocked expression and couldn't help but applaud again.

He originally wanted to remind Lin Ye not to stare too much at the patterns on the blade, otherwise it would trigger a terrifying illusion. Many teachers and students had experienced such an accident before, and their reactions were quite chaotic. They all thought that countless alchemical weapons were piercing towards them in an instant, and some even screamed.

However, Lin Ye remained extremely calm. It seemed that the other party knew from the beginning that this was an illusion and not a real attack. Based on Lin Ye's previous words, Masafumi Tomiyama knew that Lin Ye did not actually know the origin of the sword, nor even its characteristics. Therefore, it was impossible for Lin Ye to know about the illusion beforehand. The fact that the other party could handle it calmly now must be due to his keen insight that sensed the anomaly in advance.

As the saying goes, a true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

Lin Ye's performance in these two consecutive instances can only be described as outstanding, even completely outperforming more than 90% of the freshmen.

"The patterns on this blade shouldn't be artificially created, right?"

Lin Ye asked subconsciously.

"That's right. These patterns are formed naturally. In fact, according to the deductions of experts and scholars, these patterns were imprinted at the moment this ancient alchemical sword was forged. It can be understood as a kind of regular pattern with the power of rules attached to it, but it has not yet been activated. The reason why this sword looks old and can still emit such a terrifying aura is because the regular pattern on it has not been extinguished."

Masafumi Toyama explained.

"There are even weapons that are born with the power of rules. It seems that its power is far beyond my imagination. This ancient sword must have been made by dragons..." Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh.

Masashi Tomiyama nodded. "Only dragons possess such powerful alchemical techniques. To forge this ancient sword, one would need to be at least a third-generation pure-blooded dragon. They can kill the substances within the metal and then imbue it with a new life force. Lin Ye, look, there's a dragon script on the hilt of this sword. Our experts and scholars at Kassel College spent many years researching it before they could decipher it. It's called 'Lu,' the 'Lu' of 'slaughter.'"

"Slaughter..."

As Lin Ye murmured the somewhat unfamiliar word, he couldn't help but feel a chilling wind and a storm of blood rushing towards him.

Masafumi Tomiyama adjusted his glasses and continued, "Actually, what I've mentioned above is just the origin of this sword in modern times. We've even traced the ancient sword back to its appearance in ancient times."

The clues were found in an ancient battle in the East, also known as the Battle of Baekgang. It is said that in 663 AD, Liu Renyuan, Liu Renshi, and King Kim Beopmin of Silla led an army of over 10,000 soldiers and more than 100 ships under the command of Liu Rengui, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, advancing from the lower route to Baekgang Estuary, intending to defeat Baekje there. However, Liu Rengui never expected that his army would first encounter not the army of the King of Silla at Baekgang Estuary, but rather the elite troops of Wa, an ally of Baekje.

"Oh, if I'm not mistaken, Professor Masafumi Tomiyama, Wa must be the ancient name for your Japan."

Fingel sidled up to him.

Masashi Tomiyama glanced at Fingel, who had arrived at some point, and gave him a disapproving snort. Then he began to calmly explain, "However, the Japanese army had more than 40,000 soldiers and thousands of ships, making a huge show of force. At that time, the disparity in military strength was enormous, but the army led by Prime Minister Liu Rengui launched a fierce attack first. After a fierce battle, the result left everyone dumbfounded."

The overwhelmingly superior Japanese suffered heavy casualties, and Liu Rengui emerged victorious. This battle is historically known as the Battle of Baekgang. This crushing defeat for Japan fundamentally altered the political and economic landscape of Northeast Asia and other regions, utterly shattering the arrogance of the nation and preventing it from waging war against the East for over a thousand years. Lin Ye, do you know why this seemingly unequal battle resulted in such a dramatic reversal?

Lin Ye shook his head.

"It's good that you don't know. Many people say that Liu Rengui, the prime minister of the ancient Eastern dynasty, had divine assistance behind him. Although that's a bit of an exaggeration, he did have divine assistance, namely this ancient sword. In the context of ancient times, this kind of alchemical weapon was practically comparable to a nuclear weapon in modern warfare! Do you think Japan could withstand it?"

Masashi Tomiyama's tone became agitated.

This prompted Fingel, who was standing nearby, to complain, "Professor Masafumi Tomiyama, judging from your description, your country must have been destroyed by someone else, and it seems like it hasn't recovered for over a thousand years. But you're so excited right now. You're from Japan, and you describe your country like this. Is that really okay?"

However, Masafumi Toyama curled his lip and said with a righteous expression, "Those are just history, and history only represents the past, only a part of the world's progress. We cannot control history, but we can see the essence of things through history and reflect on them."

Legend has it that in that battle, Liu Rengui, the prime minister of the ancient Eastern dynasty, wielded a divine weapon and utterly annihilated the entire Japanese army, leaving not a single survivor. The sea turned red with blood, displaying his heroic prowess!

As Fingel listened, he couldn't help but cover his face. "Goodness, forgive me for what I just said, but now you seem even more glorious."

"Instructor, may I try to feel it?"

Lin Ye looked at the ancient sword in the long black box.

"This one……"

Masashi Tomiyama looked up at Schneider, because in the witnessing process, this ancient sword was only used as a witness. It was different from the black dragon scale that Lin Ye had witnessed before and even allowed him to shoot at with a gun. Because the black dragon scale itself had no offensive power, Lin Ye could touch it with his hands, even feel its hardness, and even shoot it with a gun.
