Chu Zihang unconsciously held his breath and nodded stiffly.

Xia Mi continued enthusiastically, "Next, we're going to rescue these little Vadodi; they're trapped in a cage!"

The two sat side by side, Xia Mi occasionally letting out cheers or sighs of regret, while Chu Zihang remained calm and collected throughout.

Whenever Xia Mi's character accidentally falls into a trap, he silently waits for her to be resurrected.

"Senior brother! There's a hidden room over there!" Xia Mi grabbed Chu Zihang's arm. "We have to crawl in from below!"

Chu Zihang froze for a moment, but still followed her instructions.

They successfully entered the hidden room, which was filled with glittering stars. Xia Mi was so happy she almost jumped for joy. "That's awesome! Senior brother, you're a gaming genius!"

Chu Zihang's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. "The game is very interesting."

"Right, right!" Xia Mi's eyes sparkled. "It's much more interesting than the missions of the Execution Department!"

After playing for more than an hour, Xia Mi stretched and asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?"

Chu Zihang put down the controller. "Okay."

He paused, then added, "Thank you."

Xia Mi tilted her head to look at him, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for teaching me how to play games."

Xia Mi smiled, a smile brighter than all the stars in the game combined. "Then next time I'll teach you how to play The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap? I heard your swordsmanship is amazing, so maybe you're also good at swordsmanship in the game!"

Looking at her radiant smile, Chu Zihang nodded gently, "Okay."

Chapter 80 Common Points

Rome, Italy.

Frost Gattuso strolled slowly around his desk, his leather shoes making no sound on the soft carpet.

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, his gaze fixed on the documents on it, which included photos of the train station after the earthquake and high-resolution photos of the ruins of Six Flags amusement park.

Percy Gattuso stood quietly to one side, his golden hair falling over his shoulders, his lowered eyes making it impossible to discern his emotions.

Frost stopped, picked up the document, and gently ran his fingertips over the photograph, feeling the destructive power through the paper.

“Buy Six Flags,” he began, “and then send our experts to thoroughly analyze the ruins.”

Percy bowed slightly, still keeping his head down. "Yes. We are currently in negotiations with the other company and expect to complete the acquisition soon."

Frost narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure it was the Dragon King who made the move?"

“Very likely,” Percy replied. “This conclusion was reached by the tenured professors at Kassel College. They believe that such precise stress control is impossible for humans; it could only be achieved by the Earth and Mountain King, one of the Four Sovereigns.”

Frost sneered, "Ha, the king of the earth and mountains, huh?"

He put down the documents and walked to the window.

“Actually, I’m more concerned about the attack on the train station than Six Flags,” Frost said slowly.

Percy raised his head slightly. "You mean?"

“Think about it,” Frost turned around, “that for a figure as prestigious as the Dragon King, it didn’t launch a direct attack, but rather through two raids: once at the train station, and once at Six Flags amusement park. What does that tell you?”

After a moment's thought, Pasi replied, "The Dragon King's power has not yet fully recovered, so it is hiding itself and using its limited power to attack enemies that threaten it."

Frost nodded. "That's right. Angers was one of the targets of the Six Flags amusement park attack. He's an enemy that all dragon kings would fear, so it's not surprising that they attacked him."

He walked back to the table, picked up the pen, and wrote two lines of text on the paper:

First row: Six Flags Amusement Park – Angers, Lu Mingfei, Frilian, Chu Zihang, Xia Mi

Second row: Train station – Raymond, Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, Frilline

Percy's gaze fell on the paper. "The commonalities are Lu Mingfei, Frilian, and Chu Zihang?"

Frost pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Exclude Lu Mingfei and Frilian. Lu Mingfei's Word of Power is the same as Angers', while Frilian's Word of Power can only provide support. The Dragon King has no need to specifically target them."

"learn."

Percy paused, then added, "That hunter codenamed 'Third Young Master,' Tang Wei, fled to Canada with his father. Is there anything I can do for him?"

Frost chuckled and waved his hand. "No need. He's just an insignificant nobody, a mere pawn. It's the people behind him who are hiding behind the Hunter website, not giving us a chance to find them."

He sat back down in his chair, tapping the armrest lightly, his gaze somber. "Compared to this minor character, I'm a little dissatisfied with Angers. He's too old and has been sitting in a position he shouldn't have for too long."

Percy paused for a moment, "Should we change the principal?"

Frost gave a cold laugh. "Angers is not irreplaceable. He believes that no one in the Secret Service can replace him. He is now almost out of our control. It's time to bring Kassel College under the control of the Board of Trustees."

He stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a file. "Chu Zihang's bloodline is unstable; this is a good starting point. Passy, ​​start preparing the materials to impeach Angers."

Percy paused for a moment, then lowered his head. "Yes."

Percy never made eye contact with Frost throughout the day.

Frost glanced at him. "Did you take your medicine today?"

Percy answered softly, "I ate."

Frost nodded, his tone softening somewhat, "People who don't live long should take better care of themselves."

Percy did not respond, but quietly left the room.

The door closed, and Frost's gaze returned to the documents on the table.

"King of the earth and mountains," he muttered to himself, "truly a time of great turmoil."

There was a gentle knock on Chu Zihang's dormitory door. Xia Mi sat cross-legged on the carpet, holding a controller in her hand. On the screen, the pink Kirby had just swallowed a star.

Chu Zihang got up and opened the door. Angers was standing outside, carrying a bag of fresh fruit.

The three people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Uh," Angers looked at Xia Mi, then at Chu Zihang, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

Xia Mi sprang up from the ground with a "whoosh," waving her hands frantically, "Ah, no, no, no! Principal, I definitely didn't come here to be all lovey-dovey with Chu Zihang and play games!"

Chu Zihang frowned; this sounded rather strange.

"Principal," he asked, "is there something you need?"

Angers smiled. "Xia Mi, could you please go out for a walk? I need to talk to Chu Zihang alone for a while."

Xia Mi blinked and nodded obediently, "Okay!"

She quickly paused the game, tiptoed out the door, and gave Chu Zihang a wink before leaving.

After the door closed, only Angers and Chu Zihang remained in the dormitory.

Angers didn't rush to speak. Instead, he took a pear out of the bag, then pulled out a knife from his pocket and slowly began to peel it.

The knife sliced ​​across the pear skin, and the peel drooped down in circles.

After peeling it, he handed the pear to Chu Zihang, "Try it? It's very sweet."

Chu Zihang took it and took a bite. The pear flesh was crisp, juicy, and indeed very sweet.

Angers watched him finish eating before slowly asking, "How long have you mastered Blood Explosion?"

Chu Zihang paused slightly in the hand holding the pear.

"I am one of the founding members of the Lionheart Society, don't try to hide it. The technique you used on the roller coaster was Blood Burst. By refining your bloodline with willpower, you greatly enhanced your physical strength and incantations, and even showed signs of partial dragonification."

Chu Zihang stared at the remaining pear core in his hand, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Two years."

Angers sighed. "I think I've deleted all the information about Blood Explosion from the Lionheart Order. How did you get hold of it?"

"The library contains the techniques for blood explosion in Abdullah Abbas's diary."

Angers sighed, "I should have destroyed that diary too. Flamel insisted on keeping it."

Do you know why I deleted Lionheart's information about Blood Explosion?

Chu Zihang thought for a moment, "Because the desire to kill will increase?"

Angers shook his head. "That's not all. You should know something about the origins of hybrids. The mixing of dragon and human blood gave us the power of words, but also the curse of our bloodline."

"The essence of 'blood explosion' is to forcibly awaken the dormant dragon genes within the body, making the hybrid race infinitely close to pure-blooded dragons. But humans are still humans, and dragons are still dragons."

"What do you think is the end of the Blood Explosion?" Angers looked directly at Chu Zihang. "Will hybrids turn into dragons?"

"No."

"Yes, hybrids can't transform into dragons; they can only become mindless Deadpools."

Angers walked up to Chu Zihang and patted him on the shoulder. "You probably have about three years left. If you don't continue using Blood Explosion, you'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, Angers put away the knife and turned to leave.

After closing the dormitory door, Chu Zihang looked down at his hands. His fingers were long and slender with distinct knuckles, looking no different from an ordinary person's.

But only he knew that, in his blood-bursting state, those hands had once displayed fine dragon scales.

Outside the window, Xia Mi leaned against the railing of the corridor, kicking her toes listlessly.

Angers walked past her, smiling slightly. "Did you have fun playing the game?"

Xia Mi blinked, her smile radiant. "I'm so happy! Principal, would you like to give it a try too?"

Angers shook his head with a smile, "I'm too old to play anymore."

After he left, Xia Mi pushed open the door and returned to the dormitory. Chu Zihang was standing there, still holding the pear core in his hand.

"Senior brother?" she tilted her head. "What did the principal say to you?"

Chu Zihang snapped out of his daze, threw the pear core into the trash can, and said, "It's nothing."

Chapter 81 Sichuan Cuisine

After leaving the ice cellar, Lu Mingfei and Frilian slowly walked back along the tree-lined path on campus.

Lu Mingfei scratched his head, looking frustrated. "Frilian, how did I suddenly become the leader of the new generation of hybrids?"

Without looking up, Frilian stared at the budding flowers on the ground, "Because you are the only S-rank among the freshmen of the academy."

"I didn't choose the S-class myself!" Lu Mingfei sighed. "Chu Zihang and Caesar, aren't they more reliable than me?"
