Chapter 376 Heating
"Is this the academy's new S-rank?"
The entire scene of the dragon soaring into the sky was witnessed by the members of the school board.
Through the playback of the high-speed camera, they saw all of Lu Mingfei's actions and were amazed.
The fact that he could fight the dragon servant in the water and inflict such heavy damage was so impressive that if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought they were witnessing Hilbert Jean Angers personally taking action.
"It seems that Principal Angers has a worthy successor." Everyone could see that Lu Mingfei's Word of Power was the same as Angers' Time Zero, and he used it with great skill.
Even Frost could only remain silent with a dark expression. This freshman had saved Caesar, and it was clear from his own insight that this kid would probably be another Angers in the future.
The board members who had initially had reservations about the new S-rank classification were now all lavishing praise on it.
Although some of them were always unhappy with Angers' domineering style, it was undeniable that Angers brought the Secret Society to unprecedented heights, and the sense of security that the mixed-race assassins gave them was unparalleled.
Only a chosen dragon slayer like him can lead Kassel College to defeat the Dragon King and move towards the future. Now that there are successors, it is ultimately more beneficial than harmful for them.
"It seems you are all quite satisfied with our S-class rating, which puts my mind at ease." Angers put down his crossed legs, stood up, and straightened his suit cuffs.
The board members can chat and discuss matters here, but the front lines are still fighting desperately.
"Principal, what are you doing?" All the professors in the command center stood up. Based on the situation just now, it was only a matter of time before they dealt with this dragon servant, and the principal didn't need to take action at all.
"I must go to the battlefield myself. The next generation is the strongest dragon after the first generation. Do you really think you can defeat them so easily?" Angers opened the tent entrance and looked at the raging fire in the distance. "The more noble the being, the harder it is to kill. These alchemical weapons may be enough against other next generation beings, but they are probably not enough against the bronze and fire types."
"Principal, what do you mean?" Manstein's eyes widened immediately.
"Inform Mansh to release all weapon authorizations and stop hiding anything, or we might not even be qualified to meet the Dragon King!"
Angers disappeared from the camp. On the monitor, the continuous artillery fire on the river was accompanied only by the deafening sound of explosions echoing across the water.
"Quick, quick, quick, pull them up!" Professor Mans directed the lifeboats to bring Caesar and the others back as quickly as possible.
The vitality of the secondary species is beyond imagination. Although it is currently suppressed thanks to Lu Mingfei, it will soon pounce again in a fit of rage.
By the time Caesar and his companions finally returned to the cabin of the Moniach, the Dragon Servant had already returned to the river.
"Thank goodness you're alright." Selma hugged Shudeya. They had been on missions together for several months and were already as close as sisters, but now was not the time for catching up.
Whether it was because they were lucky or because the dragon servants simply didn't have time to notice them, the enemy was kept at a depth of tens of meters underwater by Lu Mingfei to avoid the artillery fire.
The combat command immediately replaced the artillery shells with underwater bombs. Underwater, it was more lively than the New Year. After picking up the people, they immediately started the Moniah and drove it more than a thousand meters away from the center of the battle to prevent being ambushed by the dragon servants.
"Captain, how is the situation?" Caesar and the others rushed to the cabin. Although the scene of Lu Mingfei fighting with the dragon servant had really made Caesar's heart jump, he still managed to calm himself down. Lu Mingfei had done a great job, and now it was their turn to step up.
"It's strange that the dragon servant hasn't surfaced. It's very likely that it sensed danger, or Norton warned it about the fate of the other dragon servant." Professor Mans scratched his chin, overjoyed to see all his students return safely, but now was not the time to celebrate.
"It's probably trying to stall. Underwater, neither bombs nor torpedoes can do much damage to it. If it just stays outside Bronze City like this, we probably won't even have a chance to dive down and enter or leave Bronze City." Professor Mans thought that the Dragon Servant had become smarter.
"By the way, what exactly happened at the foot of Bronze City? Did you see Norton?" Professor Mans asked immediately. The dragon servants were at most a roadblock, but the Dragon King was their real threat.
Ye Sheng immediately nodded and, taking advantage of the fact that the dragon servant was not attacking underwater, quickly described his encounter in the Bronze City. Of course, this included the part about Lu Mingfei and the Dragon King getting to know each other. This was not out of ingratitude, but because the Dragon King's matter was of great importance.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, their ability to get out was purely due to good luck. Neither the Dragon King nor the Dragon Servant had time to pay attention to these minor characters. Only Lu Mingfei posed a threat to them.
But why didn't the Dragon King trap Lu Mingfei inside the Bronze City? Lu Mingfei would have died after the Bronze City was flooded, so why did he let the Dragon Servant fight with him outside the Bronze City?
Lu Mingfei stood on the bank, lost in thought as he watched the black river surface constantly bursting with water. If he wasn't mistaken, it seemed that Old Tang had deliberately let him out.
"What are you thinking about?" A figure from Lyonge appeared quietly in the dark forest behind them.
"Principal," Lu Mingfei turned and bowed, "I just feel like something's not right."
"Something's definitely not right." Ang nodded, also looking at the river surface engulfed in gunfire: "Dragon King Norton hasn't actually shown himself yet. He's choosing to avoid fighting even now, despite the provocations of us ants."
"Why does the principal know?" Lu Mingfei looked at Angers with a puzzled expression.
Angers shook his head: "No one, from ancient times to the present, has ever been able to communicate with a creature like the Dragon King."
Lu Mingfei suddenly shivered. Hearing those words, he was suddenly reminded of his past interactions with Lao Tang, and a feeling of...
A profound sense of loneliness seemed to well up in his heart.
"Headmaster, the situation has changed!" Professor Mans's anxious voice suddenly came through Angers's earpiece. "In just ten minutes, the temperature of the river water in the entire basin has risen to forty degrees Celsius, and it's still rising."
"I've already seen it." Angers' face turned ashen instantly. They had all overlooked the fact that the thick fog on the river was due to the depth charges.
In reality, it was the dragon servant who heated the entire river water. The other party was not avoiding battle, but rather brewing some unimaginably powerful incantation.
"What a joke! Prepare the alchemical bomb immediately!" Professor Mance roared.
