Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Upon hearing their discussion, the system immediately suggested that Lu Mingfei ask Chu Zihang about the dragon script he used when he employed that ability, to see if he could learn it.

"Senior, could you tell me the dragon script you used when you used 'Monarch Flame'? I want to see if I can control this power as long as I understand dragon script."

"Probably not." Chu Zihang didn't hesitate to express his opinion.

He felt that bloodline abilities were not magic or spells that everyone could learn. After all, as soon as he awakened his bloodline, he immediately mastered the ability to unleash the "Monarch Flame" explosion.

As for the dragon script that Lu Mingfei had mentioned in the school's ping-pong room, which was so powerful that it made people want to kneel down, he tried it himself. Although no one with the bloodline was listening to him, he did not feel the bloodline power surging. This was inconsistent with the bloodline power surge that he had previously confirmed with Lu Mingfei.

"Let's give it a try." Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "My ability wasn't awakened on its own; it was only after the system analyzed it that I was able to control it."

If we're talking about awakening, then this "emperor" should be Xia Mi who awakened. Those two dragon characters were something Xia Mi inexplicably saw and wrote down for him to see.

"Ah."

Chu Zihang did not refuse and recited the dragon script he had mentioned when he used the "Junyan" ability. Since he did not mobilize the power of his bloodline, the "Junyan" did not explode directly in the coffee shop.

Xia Mi felt that Lu Mingfei's question was really human-like. Just like not knowing that human hybrids could only master one kind of speech power due to their bloodline, it was as if he had engraved some common knowledge about hybrids in his heart.

After listening, Lu Mingfei repeated it from memory, without any surge of bloodline power.

He asked the system, "How is it? Can I learn it?"

[…New Dragon Script is being connected, being parsed, and…]

[...maybe, but it will take some time to analyze...]

"How is it?" Chu Zihang asked Lu Mingfei.

“I have no clue.” Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Xia Mi kept adding sugar to her coffee, not interrupting their conversation, but instead pondering what kind of incantation she should use.

The Earth and Mountain Kings lineage won't work; they're too familiar with it, playing it to perfection. If a dragon saw them, it would recognize them immediately. Norton might be nearby, and that absolutely won't do.

I'd rather use my mental energy to learn the Word of Power from another system, so I can feel a bit unfamiliar with it.

Lu Mingfei might be Norton. Norton's Word of Power from the Bronze and Fire King lineage is also useless. Norton is too familiar with it and can tell at a glance that he controls the use of Word of Power through mental power.

That leaves only the three elements: ocean and water, sky and wind, and spirit. However, spiritual incantations are rare, and the White King's bloodline is in Japan... that's troublesome too, so we have to give up on that.

It must be from the same lineage as the King of Sky and Wind. I had a strong feeling when Lu Mingfei used the Word of Power: Emperor. So the bloodline can't be too weak. The Word of Power needs to be stronger, and it also needs to have some mental power to cover up the highly sensitive mental senses...

She rested her chin on one hand, stirring her coffee with a spoon in the other, lost in thought.

"Xia Mi, what do you think?" Lu Mingfei asked Xia Mi, who was usually very talkative but hadn't spoken for "quite a while."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Xia Mi snapped out of her reverie and asked, "What were you talking about just now? I was thinking about Odin from Norse mythology."

Chapter 22 Jun Yan

There wasn't much for Lu Mingfei and his group to talk about on this trip, as both he and Chu Zihang were completely clueless about the matter of bloodlines.

However, after the system learned that Chu Zihang wanted to take revenge on Odin, it analyzed the matter of mission 4.() under the superpower module.

Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology, is definitely a boss-level character if he's not an imposter; if he's a villain, even better!

It's much easier to save the world by killing visible enemies than by killing invisible enemies.

"System, why did Chu Zihang's physical abilities leap forward after awakening his bloodline? But mine didn't?" So Lu Mingfei asked the system, "Could it be that I don't actually have a bloodline?"

[...He can use dragon runes, but there are no fluctuations in his physical attributes...]

The system didn't understand this either; in any case, under its monitoring, Lu Mingfei's body did not show any abnormalities when using the Dragon Rune.

But Chu Zihang's side wasn't fake either. He and Lu Mingfei used the simplest arm wrestling, and even though he was at a disadvantage in terms of posture, he could rely on the brute force of one arm to overpower Lu Mingfei, who had the advantage in terms of force exertion, and easily crush him.

He stated that when he fully activates his bloodline, he can even wrestle with a stone.

Who in their right mind would wrestle with a stone? A flesh and blood body... Chu Zihang pried out the slippery pebbles on the path and crushed them.

Lu Mingfei was completely dumbfounded. Was this even human? Or was this the true world of superpowers? Was Little Dragon Man this powerful? Why wasn't I?

The system became even more energetic and sped up its analysis of the "Junyan" dragon rune ability.

"Is this your limit? Or is there room for growth?" Xia Mi asked, voicing the question the system was interested in.

“That’s my limit.” Chu Zihang brushed the dust off his hands. “Three years ago, I tried to push my physical limits, but it didn’t work. As for Kassel College, all I can find now is a university in Illinois, USA. It focuses on paleontology research and has considerable strength, which is worthy of the name of a college, but it is still too weak in terms of honors compared to top universities.”

“Schools involving superpowers like this definitely need to keep a low profile; being too conspicuous would be counterproductive.” Xia Mi could understand why Kassel College chose the path of keeping a low profile. The last dragon-slaying force that dared to challenge their dominance had their manor reduced to ashes.

"So, senior, you're planning to go to Kassel College for university?" the system asked Chu Zihang upon logging in.

"Hmm." Chu Zihang nodded silently. He didn't know about the other side of the world. Kassel College was the only thing he knew. If he wanted to delve into that unknown world, this was the only path he could take.

Even though Chu Tianjiao repeatedly warned him not to join this mental hospital, he really had no other choice.

The system paused for a moment. If it wanted to complete the mission of saving the world, it had to defeat the final boss, just like in the game. From a personal perspective, the system hoped that it could turn the tide on its own, but it felt unsafe not to bring more people along.

For the system, the best approach is to command a massive army to overwhelm the BOSS.

It can't let Lu Mingfei die standing up; it can only save the world unharmed and then happily complete its mission.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei was also hesitating.

The reason for not changing the set task before was to avoid unexpected twists and turns, but now that superpowers that never appeared in the dream have appeared, the system will definitely choose the optimal route again.

Unless he completely abandons the "Dragon Clan" module and prevents the system from getting involved.

But the world isn't a place where things can be done just because people want them to; innocent bystanders and collateral damage are commonplace. The Soviet Union and Germany signed a non-aggression pact, and it seemed like a good thing that their two major allies were on good terms. But in the end, it was Poland, caught in the middle, that suffered the most. Could Poland have foreseen this? Could they have avoided it?

Lu Mingfei was at a loss for what to do.

The three of them discussed it for almost half the night but couldn't come up with anything.

Chu Zihang wanted to fight Odin, while the system was analyzing the dragon script "Jun Yan". Xia Mi asked all sorts of questions without any clear plan. Now she just wanted to ask Chu Zihang how to fully activate his bloodline.

But Chu Zihang wasn't entirely sure either.

So everyone went back to his home.

[…The dragon script “Jun Yan” has been analyzed!…]

[…Burn! Burn! Burn some more!…]

[...When "Monarch's Flame" is unleashed, it explosively ignites the fire elements in the surrounding air, creating a high explosion, high temperature, and shockwave...]

The system finished analyzing "Junyan" and Lu Mingfei immediately opened his eyes and jumped out of bed. This time, the analysis of "Junyan" took much longer than the previous dragon script "Emperor". He almost thought he would never be able to learn this ability. Fortunately, the system did not disappoint him and successfully deciphered it.

The system explained why the parsing took so long: "[...When parsing 'Junyan,' some rejection occurred, hindering the parsing progress. The reason for the rejection is currently unknown...]"

"Should we go out and give it a try?" Lu Mingfei asked the system excitedly.

The "Emperor" ability only works on dragons. It probably works on Chu Zihang and Xia Mi because they have dragon blood. Although it's unclear why dragons and humans don't have reproductive barriers, putting that question aside, the "Emperor" ability is really useless.

It could only intimidate the minds of humans and dragons, and that was all; it wasn't a power like hypnosis or brainwashing. But the "Junyan" he learned from senior Chu Zihang was different; it possessed strong destructive power, which was more in line with Lu Mingfei's imagination of superpowers!

[...The explosion is expected to have a large blast radius, requiring an extremely open area to conduct the operation...]

Fortunately, the light rain outside turned into a downpour at that moment, accompanied by a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. Hidden in the stormy night, the sound of the explosion was unlikely to attract much attention.

Lu Mingfei dashed out of his sleeping aunt's house, grabbed an umbrella, and found a taxi.

"Go to the East City Industrial Park."

"Ok."

The driver didn't ask any questions, quickly started the engine and drove off, taking Lu Mingfei to the dark and somewhat desolate Chengdong Industrial Park.

This industrial park was once a project that the city attached great importance to, with the aim of creating an industrial park that could revitalize half of the city's economy. However, after the major project company that made grand promises went bankrupt, the industrial park was abandoned, leaving only a pile of unfinished buildings standing there.

Getting here from the city is easy, but getting back to the city from here is difficult, so before getting off the bus, Lu Mingfei asked, "Driver, could you wait here for me to come out?"

"how long it takes?"

"It should take about half an hour."

The driver wasn't as efficient as before. He frowned and said with some difficulty, "It's the middle of the night, and it's pouring rain... I'll have to pay extra."

Lu Mingfei's fare was 50, but he immediately handed over a 100.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." The driver immediately relaxed his furrowed brow and happily took the money.

Lu Mingfei got out of the car, opened his umbrella, and walked into the abandoned industrial park, leaving only the driver smoking and waiting in the car.

Chapter 23: Who are they putting on this show for?

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion rang out, accompanied by a burst of bright light shooting into the sky.

But it was so inconspicuous in the midst of the torrential rain and thunder. Even if one or two people saw it, they would think it was just thunder and that they were seeing things.

After being amazed, Lu Mingfei asked the system in confusion, "This 'Monarch Flame' is even more difficult to use than 'Emperor'. Is it a problem with the ability itself, or is it a problem with me and Senior Chu Zihang?"

Chu Zihang also mentioned that when he used this ability, there would be a sudden interruption due to a lack of strength. Although he is using it now without any interruption, it still requires a lot of effort.

[...Perhaps it's related to proficiency and difficulty of mastering. 'Emperor' has a low entry barrier and is easy to pick up. 'Royal Flame', on the other hand, has a high entry barrier and is more difficult to master...]

After the system deciphered the "Emperor," Lu Mingfei immediately mastered the power of the "Emperor." Without chanting dragon script, he could imbue any dragon script with the power of the "Emperor."

But now "Junyan" can't do that anymore. It has to obediently chant a long dragon script. It can't just blow up wherever it wants, control the power of the explosion, or make it instantaneous.

Fortunately, the system believes that with just a long period of continuous analysis, it is possible to improve and increase "Junyan's" proficiency.

"That's good."

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that he was being a bit greedy. He had already gained two superpowers for free. Although one was rather useless, the other was quite good.

Xia Mi hasn't awakened her bloodline yet, otherwise she could have gained another superpower for free...

[...Through learning, one can master various different bloodline abilities. If one joins an organization composed of individuals with bloodline superpowers, one can obtain a large number of superpower learning templates...]

Lu Mingfei was focused on Xia Mi's superpowers, while the system was already eyeing the superpowers of all bloodline users worldwide, and was already figuring out how to join the Kassel asylum that Chu Zihang's father had mentioned.

"This time, I was too narrow-minded," Lu Mingfei remarked.

……

"In the dead of night, with torrential rain, sneaking out just to unleash a Lord's Flame? Is this a full-blown act, a prelude to his mastery of multiple Word Spirits?"

Xia Mi poked her head out from the rooftop railing of the unfinished building, staring at the patch of grass below that had been cleared away in the Junyan explosion.

Although there was a lot of weeds below, the torrential rain from above prevented Lu Mingfei's released flames from spreading into a raging inferno.
