The conference room door was suddenly kicked open, and the young people from the executive department rushed in.
"Calm down, what's all the panic about?" Disciplinary Committee member Manchester shouted.
"Hunter Market...Latest Bounty!"
The young man breathed heavily, “A dragon named Fenrisulfr… has awakened… Recruit hunters to kill him… Bounty of one hundred million… one hundred million US dollars!”
The entire room fell silent!
Manchester remained silent for a long time before slumping back into his chair.
This is truly a nuclear bomb, an information nuclear bomb. Someone has put this kind of information on a public website like the Hunter Market, and the secrets of the dragon race, which the hybrids have guarded for thousands of years, are about to be leaked.

Those who frequent that website are definitely not just mixed-race individuals!
"Quickly! Report to the principal!"
He sprang to his feet like a dead fish coming back to life, and stormed out the door…
Late the next night, on the top floor of the principal's office.
Two figures sat around the huge desk in the darkness where the light didn't reach.
The wind blew the fallen leaves across the rooftops, making them roll like countless ninjas stealthily passing by. No one spoke for a long time, and the atmosphere was mysterious and ever-changing, like the white steam rising from a cup of tea.
Angers finally raised his glass to Xia Mu: "The damaged keel and the investigation team's actions against the students are enough to keep the school board in check and prevent them from obstructing my proposed Nibelungen candidate, but the timing of this dragon's appearance is very bad..."
Xia Mu silently twirled the bone china cup, without saying a word.
"The news of the Dragon King's awakening has been made public, which is the biggest crisis in the history of the academy. In fact, the elite forces that the Executive Department can mobilize have been divided into different groups and mobilized in full force."
Angers said, "The students also sent two groups, one of which was you, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei, and the other was Caesar Gattuso, Chen Motong, and Xia Mi."
“Xia Mi?” Xia Mu raised his eyes.
"Caesar's group was directly dispatched by the Board of Directors, and Chen Motong and Xia Mi were his choices."
Angers smiled. "If Susie hadn't been unable to carry out the mission, he probably would have chosen Susie."
"Provocation?" Xia Mu raised an eyebrow.
"Caesar is an incredibly confident kid. He always believes that he is the best in the world, and even if he isn't now, he will be in the future. You and Chu Zihang are the opponents he believes he must defeat."
Angers put down the bone china cup. "He probably chose Xia Mi because he wanted to get to know you better."
"They didn't choose Yi Yi..."
“If it were Xia Liyi, he might think he wouldn’t get any information.”
Xia Mu shrugged: "He can't possibly get it from Xia Mi either."
Angers laughed again: "You're so confident in your charm, aren't you afraid that girls will turn their love into hate because they can't have you?"
Xia Mu stared at the light, shaking his head in silence.
“The seven deadly sins combined will form an alchemical realm. Caesar will inevitably take the four swords with him, so you, who possess the remaining three, must go as well,” Angers said, looking at him.
"Furthermore, if Caesar truly succeeds in slaying the dragon, then Chu Zihang's Nibelungen quota will also..."
He shook his head. "The board of directors will definitely give him the best equipment, even the Philosopher's Stone, and will also send family half-bloods to help him in secret. Whether Caesar does it or not, the honor will eventually be bestowed upon him."
Xia Mu slammed the bone china cup in her hand onto the table: "He has no chance."
Ang nodded and walked over to pat his shoulder: "Don't be careless. The Dragon King who has awakened doesn't have Constantine's broken body, nor Norton's rage that has lost his mind. You'll have to discover his weaknesses yourself when the time comes."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Remember to bring Mingfei along if necessary."
"Yes, I understand that this is a tough challenge."
Xia Mu stood up and looked at Angers, "But Principal, Mingfei hasn't matured yet, there's no need to rush. I think it's best to let things take their natural course."
"I also want to let things take their natural course..."
Angers stood by the window, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. "But the awakening of more and more dragon kings means that a great era is coming. If the hybrids cannot bury all the dragons, then countless people will only be enslaved."
"There's no use in rushing..."
Xia Mu suddenly thought of something and looked at Angers' tall back, asking, "Principal, if a hybrid were to become a true dragon, would you consider him a dragon or a human?"
Angers turned around abruptly and slammed the cup on the table: "Dragons are dragons. Those who become dragon hybrids will no longer be human and will inevitably stand on the opposite side of all hybrids!"
"That's not necessarily true. What if this hybrid who turned into a dragon actually represents a hybrid power?"
Xia Mu said in a low voice, "Principal, think about it, for those forces that want to become the rulers of the new world, wouldn't becoming a dragon be an option?"
Angers narrowed his eyes slightly: "You're reminding me to be careful of a bayonet coming from behind."
Xia Mu remained silent.
That's not what he meant; he was just giving a heads-up...

"Mumu, aren't you taking me with you on this mission?"
In the room, Natsuki was packing his luggage, while Erii circled around him like a kitten whose owner was about to leave.
"Yeah, winter break is in a month, we'll meet up in the capital then." Xia Mu reached out and patted her head.
Erii cupped his hand and rubbed her face against it, her expression suddenly changing: "Is Natsumi going too?"
Xia Mu immediately explained, "Xia Mi was requested by Caesar, and she's not in the same group as me."
"Oh…"
Erii nodded.
Xia Mu gently stroked her smooth face and said softly, "We'll see each other again soon."
"Um…"
She leaned in and buried herself in his arms.
Xia Mu hugged her tightly, gently stroking the back of her head and running his hand through her long red hair...
A day later, the chartered plane carrying Xia Mu, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei, a mixed-race individual, landed at Beijing Capital International Airport.
Seeing hundreds of Europeans and Americans queuing at the gate, Xia Mu and his companions were speechless.
"Are they all here... to slay dragons?" Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice.
Chu Zihang said calmly, "This is a special charter flight. The identities of all passengers have been pre-screened. Without exception, they are all mixed-race and are here to slay dragons."
"Do they think slaying dragons is like participating in the World Expo? You just buy a ticket and wait in line?" Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded.
Xia Mu silently dragged his suitcase and said in a low voice, "This is a huge gathering. Tens of thousands of hybrids will gather here in the next week. Maybe they really are treating dragon slaying as a sightseeing tour."
Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang looked at each other in silence.
The three of them checked into a hotel near the Third Ring Road, in a twin room.
However, since Lu Mingfei stayed at the internet cafe and became addicted to StarCraft, only Xia Mu and Chu Zihang stayed there for the next few days.
Chu Zihang was very dedicated. From the day he checked in, he took out his laptop to monitor seismic wave activity and build predictive models, keeping himself very busy.

Xia Mu would sit by the headboard every day, lost in thought, recalling everything that had happened since Xia Mi appeared, and thinking about that system mission... Did making Jormungandr evolve into Hela really mean giving Xia Mi a future?
He wasn't sure.
"Dong dong dong".
A knock came at the door, followed by a high-pitched voice: "Mole, mole, it's Sweet Potato!"
Chu Zihang got up and opened the door.
Carrying large bags and small packages, Xia Mi peeked in and gestured to Xia Mu: "Wow, this is a mess! Is this the legendary boys' dormitory? The boys' dormitory where they keep cockroaches as pets? Can I come in? Could you please move your pets out of the way? I'm afraid I'll step on those cute little animals..."
She was wearing a bohemian plaid maxi dress and straight-leg deerskin boots, along with a burgundy sheepskin jacket and a long purple scarf around her neck.
With the clothes Xia Mu bought for her, she always looked stunning whenever people saw her.
"Isn't it beautiful? Do you want me to hug you and see if my waistline has grown?"
Xia Mi put down the bags of snacks she was carrying and spun around in front of Xia Mu.
Xia Mu pulled a piece of cream cake from the bag she brought and tossed it to Chu Zihang. Then she opened a candied fruit and popped it into her mouth: "Daoxiangcun pastries, candied fruit, 18th Street twisted dough sticks... and Tianfuhao's braised pork knuckle... No wonder they're local big shots!"
"Not a local bully! She's a pretty, soft-spoken girl!"
Xia Mi sat casually on his bed, feeding him snacks.
Chu Zihang frowned almost imperceptibly, probably thinking that Xia Mi's behavior was inappropriate, so he walked over and asked, "Where are Caesar and the others?"
"Chen Motong went off to play everywhere on her first day after landing, and then Caesar played hide-and-seek with her all over the city, but he always managed to find her."
Xia Mi's gaze suddenly fell on the wall, where there was an entire map. "Earthquake data from the capital?"
Chu Zihang nodded: "But there's too much junk data, too much interference. It's like the wind blowing across a lake, leaving ripples on the surface, making it impossible to find the bubbles the fish was blowing."
He patted the map. "The fish is hiding under the lake. The day it fully awakens, it will suddenly break through the water in the form of a dragon, and then it will be too late."
"He is currently still in human form, but in order to fully awaken, he should be transforming into a dragon's body," Xia Mi said seriously.
Chu Zihang said, "The abilities of dragons in human form are limited, as has been proven with the Dragon King Norton. We must seize the opportunity and not give him time."
"It takes time for them to transform into full-fledged dragons; it's like going through another incubation process."
Xia Mi stared at the map. "I told my parents that Xia Mu, you've taken good care of me, and they said they'd like to invite you to their house for a meal."
Chu Zihang was engaged in an academic discussion when she suddenly turned around, leaving him speechless. He could only turn back and ask, "You two...are meeting the parents?"
“No, no,” Xia Mi turned her head and grinned, “it’s just a meal.”
Chu Zihang nodded: "Can I come along?"
Xia Mi stared at him blankly: "My parents didn't invite you..."
"You probably didn't mention my name at all, only Xia Mu," Chu Zihang said calmly, looking at her. "Oh, you're blushing. Did I hit the nail on the head?"
“I don’t know you…” Xia Mi covered her face and turned her head away.
Chu Zihang hesitated for a moment: "This isn't a good idea..."
