……

The bounty on the Hunter's website came earlier than expected. The day after the Norton House party, the bounty for the dragon "Fenrir" was already highlighted in red and pinned to the top of the Hunter's website.

As for the reward amount, it's basically a series of zeros after a single one. Once you pull off this job, you'll never have to worry about food or drink again in this life, the next life, or the life after that.

……

"Ayu, get up quickly! The principal told us to assemble at the Hall of Heroes! We're already 20 minutes late!!" Tang Yu, still in the dormitory, was immersed in the revelry of last night. He had been forced to drink a lot of champagne by a group of boring guys and was still feeling a bit hungover.

While Tang Yu was still in a daze, Lu Mingfei had already exploded! They were more than twenty minutes late... Lu Mingfei couldn't even imagine how that flamboyant old man, Angers, would treat them!

It took a lot of effort for Lu Mingfei to finally wake Tang Yu up.

"Why are you keeping people awake so early in the morning, Lu Mingfei? What the hell are you doing?" Tang Yu asked groggily, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"There's no time to explain, let's go! The principal has been waiting for us for twenty minutes already. If we don't leave now, who will stop the old man when he goes berserk?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Yu's still somewhat confused mind instantly cleared. Angers, that old guy, was always very punctual, and similarly, he also liked his students to be punctual.

The last student who was late for afternoon tea with Angers has already been sent by the old man to raise crocodiles. Tang Yu doesn't want to associate with those scaled reptiles!

He grabbed a wet wipe and hastily wiped his face, then put on his coat and ran out quickly with Lu Mingfei.

The agreed meeting point was the meeting hall in Valhalla. In the dimly lit hall, Angers, dressed in a flamboyant trench coat, and the unkempt Night Watchman were waiting for the students to arrive.

On the huge round table in the conference hall, a dark gold box sat quietly.

Tang Yu recognized this thing!

This is the forbidden alchemical sword set that he, Ye Sheng, and Ya Ji retrieved from Bronze City—the Seven Deadly Sins!

------------

97 Purified Bloodlines

As for why this set of alchemical swords and blades appeared here, it's because Angers and the Night Watch, those two bored old guys, were going to use it to test the bloodlines of the key personnel in the operation!

Yes, the "Seven Deadly Sins" do indeed have such power. To use this forbidden weapon, one must first possess dragon blood of extremely high purity. The higher the purity of the dragon blood, the more weapons can be drawn.

Some mixed-race individuals with diluted bloodlines can't even pull out their first rib, which represents "lust"!

"Hello, my students!" When Tang Yu and Lu Mingfei arrived at the Hall of Heroes, panting, Angers surprisingly did not make things difficult for them.

The old man looked extremely happy at this moment, his smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum... How to put it? It felt strangely sleazy.

After a brief, not overly intimate exchange of pleasantries, Angers patted the dark gold box on the table, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Do you recognize this?

Caesar pondered for a moment, "Could this be the alchemical sword set that was salvaged from the Bronze City?"

"Good eye!" Angers praised, then pulled down a hidden slide on the box.

What happened next was a miracle of alchemy!

The box containing the "Seven Deadly Sins" was slightly smaller than Lu Mingfei's head. Logically speaking, such a small space could not possibly hold those swords that were a meter long.

But the truth is, those seven swords, representing the pinnacle of "alchemy" creation, are quietly placed in the box!

As the slide rails moved, some barely perceptible gaps appeared on the originally smooth, mirror-like dark gold box. After a while, these gaps gradually widened... until finally, the entire box gradually deformed and disintegrated, eventually becoming a sword rack full of historical atmosphere.

The seven swords sat silently on the sword rack, their blades gleaming with a cold, sharp light. Just looking at them was enough to make one's eyes sting.

“Come on, give it a try and see where your limits are.” Angers gestured for the four students to come to the “Seven Deadly Sins”.

Caesar's bloodline is Grade A, and he drew three swords from the sword rack; Chu Zihang, having just cleansed his blood, only drew two. Lu Mingfei's bloodline grade is not considered due to his lack of strength.

Tang Yu was last among the four.

When Tang Yu first enrolled, Wan Boqian, a member of the Executive Department, used the Word of Power: Bloodline Binding to observe Tang Yu's bloodline.

At that time, Tang Yu's bloodline was barely enough to qualify for A-level.

But now, things are a little different!

From the dark gold sword rack, Tang Yu effortlessly drew the ribbed sword "Lust," followed by the Atkan longsword representing "Gluttony," the Scottish broadsword representing "Greed," the Damascus steel sword representing "Sloth," and the Tang sword representing "Envy"...

Tang Yu drew five swords before being rejected by Han Bafang, who represented "arrogance".

On the principal's antique huanghuali wood table, worth hundreds of thousands of US dollars, five alchemical swords of different styles are stuck in the ground. One can imagine that the table's value is about to depreciate...

However, no one cared about the table at the moment; everyone was staring at Tang Yu in disbelief.

Student council president Caesar, who possesses A-grade bloodline, only drew three swords before they were rejected by the Damascus steel sword representing "sloth."

Tang Yu has now drawn five swords, five against three... This means that the purity of the dragon blood in Tang Yu's body has far exceeded that of student council president Caesar.

Preliminary estimates suggest that Tang Yu's bloodline has reached Super A level, roughly the same purity as Chu Zihang's bloodline before it was cleansed.

Seeing this, everyone wore different expressions.

Angers and the Night Watchman, two seasoned veterans, kept their eyes down, seemingly oblivious to Tang Yu's change in bloodline, and chatted nonchalantly about the graceful figure of a certain noblewoman.

A hint of worry flashed in the depths of Chu Zihang's usually calm eyes. Of course, he knew why Tang Yu's bloodline had changed.

"Blood Rage," a forbidden technique that unleashes the Lionheart, can refine bloodlines. Tang Yu's first use of this technique forcibly pushed him to the third level of Blood Rage, causing his bloodline to advance towards the pure-blooded dragon race at an extremely terrifying speed.

If Tang Yu continues to use this technology frequently, it won't be long before he completely falls into the abyss and becomes a Death Servant.

Unlike Chu Zihang's worries, Caesar, standing behind Tang Yu, had a glint in his eyes.

A few days ago, he obtained the Lionheart Society's document on "Bloodlust" through Susie. Given some more time, he will be able to fully master this forbidden technique.

As for falling into the trap of becoming Deadpool, Caesar doesn't care too much. He will absolutely not fall into that trap until he fulfills his inner obsession!

Of everyone present, the only one who knew absolutely nothing was probably the clueless Lu Mingfei.

The guy scratched his head, looking puzzled. "Was A-Yu's bloodline really that powerful? How come I never noticed it before?"

“Alright…” Angers clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention to himself.

"Everyone, go back and get some rest! I'm sure you've all heard the news that the King of Earth and Mountains has awakened in China... The academy will be sending one of the elite students to slay the dragon. The flight will take off at 11 p.m. tonight, so don't be late!"

After testing their bloodlines, Angers, with a smug look on his face, simply said a few words and then kicked the group out of the conference hall.

Outside the conference hall, Chu Zihang stopped Tang Yu.

"Tang Yu, come with me for a moment."

Seeing Chu Zihang's somewhat gloomy expression, Tang Yu already knew what he wanted to do.

Following Chu Zihang, Tang Yu arrived at a secluded corner of the Hall of Heroes.

There were no lights, so it was rather dim. In the gloom, Chu Zihang stared intently at Tang Yu, his pupils gleaming with a faint golden light, giving him an incredibly imposing appearance. After a moment, Chu Zihang said softly:

"Bloodlust is not a good thing, and I believe you are aware of some changes in your body..."

Seeing that Tang Yu remained silent, Chu Zihang sighed softly, "Every time you use Bloodlust, it's a test of the abyss. The rapidly purified bloodline brings unparalleled pleasure to the body, and most people can't resist it! But after the brief joy comes an endless abyss..."

Chu Zihang paused, then gave a self-deprecating smile: "You know, before my blood was cleansed, the blood flowing in my veins was already enough to corrode metal... So, for the sake of your health, you should use the Blood Burst ability less often in the future."

Looking at Chu Zihang's serious expression, Tang Yu nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, President. I will be careful! I won't activate this ability unless necessary."

"That's good. If you experience any unusual symptoms, be sure to come to me or Principal Angers immediately. As a founding member of the Lionheart Society, Principal Angers should know more about the Bloodlust technique than I do," Chu Zihang carefully instructed Tang Yu.

After leaving Valhalla, Tang Yu went straight to his dormitory, sat on his bed, closed his eyes, and entered the mental space where Iska was.

The place remains unchanged. In a vast sea of ​​stars, the tiny purple dragon Iska is fast asleep with its eyes closed.

Perhaps sensing Tang Yu's arrival, Iska slowly opened her eyes.

His very first words were laced with a strong sense of teasing: "Oh, isn't this Lord Tang Yu? What brings you to Little Dragon's territory today?"

"Stop joking around, let's get down to business!" Tang Yu rolled his eyes and slapped his big hand directly onto Iska's dragon face.

After spending more than two months together, Tang Yu and Iska have relaxed their relationship! Because Tang Yu discovered that this "dragon" with terrifying power is actually a goofball at heart.

Coincidentally, Tang Yu is also a goofball.

A chemical reaction occurred between two idiots, and that's how the current situation came about.

Upon hearing that Tang Yu had come to inquire about "Bloodlust," Iska's dragon face revealed a human-like disdain.

"You mean the Path to Godhood? No problem, with me here, go ahead and do whatever you want! Don't be afraid of turning into a Deadpool. The Path to Godhood was originally created by Nidhogg the Black King to allow his most loyal servants to evolve into pure-blooded dragons. Do you know why most hybrids get stuck at the last step of the Path to Godhood..." At this point, Iska paused, leaving everyone in suspense.

"Why? Just tell me already!" Tang Yu glared at Iska. This guy always kept everyone in suspense at crucial moments...it was really annoying!

"Hey, don't get angry!"

Seeing Tang Yu's hand reach for Isca's neck, the self-proclaimed dragon chickened out and hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Don't touch my noble neck! I'm telling you, okay? The final step on the path to godhood requires the assistance of a powerful dragon king. Otherwise, the last bit of human genes in the hybrid's body will become an indestructible obstacle, causing the hybrid to lose their mind and become a lost soul stuck between hell and heaven."

Iska looked extremely proud. "How about it? Don't you admire me a lot? Your bloodline purity is about 70% now, so go all out! Try to transform into a pure-blooded dragon as soon as possible. At that time, you'll be able to withstand my power!"

Iska thought Tang Yu would be very surprised, but in fact, Tang Yu's expression was calmer than ever before.

"I'll try my best..." Tang Yu replied calmly. After confirming that "blood rage" would not seriously harm his body, Tang Yu became more Zen-like.

Tang Yu didn't really care about whether he could become a pure-blooded dragon.

What's wrong with being human? Why choose to be a scaled reptile? Although dragons can also transform into human form at will, it's still a bit unsettling...

"By the way, is the thing I asked you to prepare?" Just as he was about to leave, Tang Yu suddenly remembered something. "Since you've come in, just take it with you."

"I've already prepared everything for you. Take what you need and get lost. Don't bother me while I'm sleeping!" Iska yawned and waved his paw impatiently.

The next second, starlight gathered in the dazzling sea of ​​stars and finally condensed into a contract that shimmered with a faint light, which slowly floated in front of Tang Yu.

Tang Yu stretched out his hand, and the contract slowly floated towards his palm. The moment the contract touched his palm, Tang Yu officially obtained the right to use it.

Long before going to Japan, Tang Yu had asked Iska to prepare this contract, the contents of which were exactly the same as the one Constantine had signed before.

"With this, Little Dragon Girl should be able to behave herself a bit!" Tang Yu stared at his palm, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

……

Time flew by, and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, the members who were about to travel to China had already boarded the CC1000 train, preparing to go to Chicago's train station and then to Chicago International Airport.

The core members of this dragon-slaying mission are Chu Zihang, Caesar, Tang Yu, and Lu Mingfei, along with some unofficial personnel responsible for logistical support. These include the little witch Nono, the useless Finger, and the little dragon girl Xia Mi…

Chicago International Airport.
