From the moment she kidnapped Erii, she became a roadblock.

Kassel College, near Valhalla.

A two-story building stands there; this is the office of Principal Angers.

From the outside, it looks quite old, like an old garage, and is not very attractive.

The ivy climbed up the outer wall, blocking some windows, and the leaves swayed slightly as the wind blew from the side.

Guan Luo and Erii were brought to this place, which was unguarded because the strongest member of the academy was here.

They had just passed a clock tower, and both Guan Luo and Erii were drawn to it because the closer they got to that place, the less corrosive force their bodies would experience.

That's most likely where Vice Principal Nicholas lives.

The Word of Power: Precepts successfully suppressed the restlessness of the dragon blood within Guan Luo and Erii, meaning that their mental power was liberated to a certain extent.

Being suppressed actually made the two of them more unrestrained, without worrying too much about the consequences of using their words of power.

The weaker I am, the stronger I become?

Of course, the effect of the Word of Power was also limited, reduced by about half.

However, the death force originating from a level almost a rule, even if weakened by half, is still deadly.

Guan Luo felt his body relax, and his superhuman strength was revealed, his bones creaking.

The gaps between bones are compressed, bone density increases, and thousands of bones are being connected into a whole, working together to exert force.

The keel structure is almost complete!

It was just one step away from victory.

Guan Luo's control over his body just now was almost instinctive; his strong mental fortitude was one factor, but his comprehension was also astonishing.

It took Yuan Zhisheng a full three years from awakening his royal bloodline to activating his dragon bone state.

During this time, he constantly manipulated his body's skeleton, first the finger bones, then the arm bones, and finally the skull.

He had only just completed the introductory part, while Guan Luo had only been in the academy for about twenty minutes.

With the help of Words of Power and Precepts, I successfully entered the path.

The Dragon Bone state is actually a skill recognized by the Paradise, and it's a passive skill that can amplify one's own attributes.

It's important to understand that every point of attribute improvement represents a small but significant change. If this skill is already so powerful at level 1, one can only imagine its potential.

Since Erii is a character from the Dragon Raja world, and Guan Luo has not yet learned the detection skill, he does not know Erii's specific situation.

Once Guan Luo was freed from his dragon-bone state, his bones relaxed and he returned to normal.

It only lasted for a short time and didn't take much of a toll, so Guan Luo was in good condition.

The principal's office building is just ahead. It looks unremarkable, but perhaps Angers likes this style.

A bell hung on the simple gate, and Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya stopped in their tracks, no longer moving forward.

"The principal didn't say he wanted to see us, so you can go in yourselves," Ye Sheng said with a smile.

Guan Luo knocked on the door with Erii.

The principal's deep and authoritative voice came from inside:

"Please come in."

Guan Luo pushed open the door first, and the bell on the door jingled.

It's already afternoon.

Guan Luo hadn't eaten all day and had been traveling the whole time, and now it was the sunniest part of the day.

The light of late spring shone through the window onto the oak floor.

Several golden lines are drawn across it, all traces of time.

Angers sat in his Moroccan red leather sofa.

He had a full head of silver hair, which was neatly combed. His suit was impeccably tailored and looked to be custom-made, fitting his body perfectly.

The porcelain tea set was already laid out in front of him, and he wore a silver ring on his hand.

Meanwhile, a lot of snacks were prepared on the other side of the table.

Everything was ready, and Angers seemed to be in a very good mood.

In the past, when Angers was in a good mood, it meant that someone was going to have bad luck, but today Angers was simply happy.

Guan Luo and Erii arrived at the center of the hall. This two-story building had a skylight in the middle, connecting the top and bottom.

The sunlight was excellent throughout the center, and Angers was sitting on a sofa there.

Guan Luo pulled Erii along and walked over.

Angers gestured for Guan Luo and Eri to sit down.

At Guanluo and Erii's age, they were like children in front of Angers.

However, Angers showed him the utmost respect.

Guan Luo and Erii bowed slightly to Principal Angers, and then sat down.

Angers already knew about Guan Luo and Erii's situation, and neither of them could speak.

So he just kept talking to himself.

He said that Guan Luo and Erii could do whatever they wanted.

Guan Luo and Erii saw that the afternoon tea snacks had been laid out, and since they were very hungry, they started eating right away.

The pastries were sweet but not greasy, and tasted very good. The two of them ate them on their own.

Angers, on the other hand, rambled on about this and that.

"Don't be nervous, children," Angers said with a smile.

Angers watched the two eat their snacks with a kind expression and even poured them a cup of tea himself.

If the other trainees saw this, they would be absolutely stunned.

The amber-colored tea soup swirls in the cup, releasing a rich aroma.

"Try this." Angers pushed a plate of chocolates decorated with gold leaf in front of the two of them, speaking as if he were welcoming a junior who had come from afar.

Guan Luo reached out, took a piece, and put it in his mouth.

Erii ate like a squirrel, nibbling away bit by bit, but the joy in her eyes—the joy of eating something delicious—was impossible to hide.

Angers nodded in satisfaction. The old Chinese saying was indeed true: to win someone's heart, you must first win their stomach.

……

After the previous casual conversation ended, Angers' tone suddenly changed and became calm.

That kind of majesty cannot be concealed; it appears calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging beneath.

Guan Luo sensed a threat from Angers. Guan Luo was no match for Angers now. The opponent's time-zero speed was too fast. He estimated that he would be killed on the spot before he could activate Dragon Bone Transformation.

The current principal is practically a bug; aside from his relatively weak attack power, making it difficult to break through the Dragon King's defenses, he is top-tier in every other aspect.

It feels terrible to entrust your life to someone else.

But he knew the principal wouldn't do that; the principal's only goal was to slay the dragon, and he could help the principal slay the dragon.

After all, he has a permanent side quest that he needs to accept from the principal, and the reward looks very generous.
