Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Although no one in the academy dared to look down on the Lionheart Society because of this, they were ultimately unwilling to accept the defeat. Defeat meant humiliation, and the shadow that covered the glory of the Lionheart Society could only be washed away by victory!

They have analyzed that the Lionheart Club with Chu Zihang in charge has a good chance of winning against the Student Union. The two main generals will restrain each other. Even if the Student Union has the advantage in numbers, the rest of them are heroes who can fight against several at a time and are willing to sacrifice their lives for the glory of the Lionheart Club!

But as soon as Chu Zihang left, they instantly lost their backbone, just like pearl milk tea without milk tea, garlic grilled shrimp without prawns, instant noodles without seasoning packets...

"Caesar doesn't need anyone to hold him back. If Lu Mingfei and I don't participate, Caesar probably won't participate either."

"Why?" Lancelot couldn't help asking.

"Because he is full of foolish justice in his bones." Chu Zihang said softly.

Before Lu Mingfei came to Kassel Academy, Caesar and Chu Zihang were each other's only rivals. They had fought each other no less than a hundred times, with both winning and losing.

Someone once said that the person who knows you best is often not your friend, but your opponent.

So no one knows Caesar better than Chu Zihang. Even from an enemy perspective, that guy is so upright that it's a little stupid.

If you lose one hand, he will never fight you with both hands; if you are dying, he will even personally take you to the hospital and pay your medical expenses, and it will not be too late to fight you after you recover.

The arrogant nobleman was not satisfied with everything arranged for him by the Gattuso family, but he inherited pride to the fullest. He was domineering to the extreme, but also righteous to the extreme. Fairness and heroism flowed in his bones.

"What about your mission this time? Is it dangerous?" Susie couldn't help but ask this personal question that had little to do with the meeting.

"I'm not sure yet, but it should be... okay?" Chu Zihang answered uncertainly. After all, he didn't know that Lu Mingfei was actually going to drag him into a dangerous place.

Well, there is no more veritable dragon's den and tiger's lair than the Dragon King's palace under the water of the Three Gorges, right?

"While I'm away, Lionheart will continue training as usual, with Lancelot in charge. If I can make it back, I will fight with you." Chu Zihang stood up and gave the order.

Chu Zihang walked from the main seat to the main entrance of the Lionheart Club Hall. Every member stood up straight and saluted him solemnly as he passed by. The scene was like a group of lions looking at the lion king with reverence as he passed through them.

Chu Zihang turned the metal handle carved with lion patterns, pushed open the heavy red wood door, and the golden sunlight rushed towards him.

"President, please return safely." Lancelot stood up first and said.

"President, please return safely!" All the members of the Lionheart Club stood up, and two rows of long black windbreakers swayed like two writhing dark pythons. Their movements were in perfect unison, and the momentum was so great that it seemed as if they were going to blow the roof of the Lionheart Club hall off!

"The president is so impressive, senior brother!" Lu Mingfei leaned against the tall white pillar at the entrance of the Lionheart Club and watched Chu Zihang push the door open. In his heart, he couldn't help but complain that it seemed that what that woman Nono said was not entirely wrong. At least the second-year mentality of these guys in the Lionheart Club was so strong that it made him feel suffocated.

"Let's go to the library. The principal and the people from the executive department are waiting for us there."

"Brother, how did you convince the executive department?"

"I didn't convince them. I just asked if they needed any staff recently. Then they looked very happy and told me to wait for further notice."

Chapter 46 Premise

In the main control room of Kassel College Library.

When Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang pushed the door open and walked in, the rest of the people had already arrived. Their eyes were scanning them from head to toe, as if they were spying on a glowing treasure in the dark - in fact, most of their eyes were on Lu Mingfei.

Ye Sheng and Shude Aki, who had served as Lu Mingfei's interviewers, gave him a kind smile, but the other looks at him were not entirely kind.

Chu Zihang is an acquaintance in the executive department, and his abilities are obvious to all, but Lu Mingfei is not. Even if he is an "S" grade approved by the principal, it is useless. The college adheres to the theory of bloodline, but it does not work in the executive department.

Bloodline does not represent strength. They are all brave warriors who have experienced the battlefield. They have seen too many students who boast of their excellent bloodline, but once they are thrown into a battlefield full of blood and violence, they shrink back like weaklings who wish they could go back to the womb and be reborn for ten months!

Moreover, many of them were gamblers who bet their fortunes and lives on Lu Mingfei failing to pass the "3E" exam, but ended up losing miserably.

Mmd, the academy clearly hasn't had an "S"-level student for forty years. Every year, there are similar odds and they keep losing, so they think they have figured out the pattern. Caesar two years ago was not an "S"-level student, and Chu Zihang last year was not an "S"-level student either. How come an "S"-level student suddenly appeared this year?

Damn it, it’s not Caesar’s fault, it’s not Chu Zihang’s fault, it’s not this world’s fault, it’s you…

S-rank Lu Mingfei!!

"You are here." The principal sitting in the main seat was wearing a neat black suit, with his long silver hair tied behind his head. There was a kind and gentle light in his eyes as he looked at Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, just like a kind elder looking at his most satisfied children.

"Are you Lu Mingfei, our only 'S'-level?" A dark shadow in the corner spoke. The black figure's voice was hoarse and sticky, as if a sharp knife was stuck in his throat.

The dark figure dragged the cart into the light, his heavy military boots making heavy footsteps, and the metal wheels of the trailer rubbing against the alloy floor of the control room made a heart-pounding and harsh sound.

He was a tall, thin middle-aged man, about fifty years old, wearing a long black trench coat over a pure black suit.

What makes people unforgettable at first sight is that the man was wearing a black mask on his face. A long oxygen tube connected the mask to the oxygen cylinder hanging on the cart. The part of the man's face outside the mask was covered with dark red scars, which were as scary as twisted snakes, hideous and creepy.

"My mentor, Professor von Schneider, is the person in charge of the executive department." Chu Zihang whispered a brief introduction to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei nodded slightly. Of course he recognized who it was. After all, apart from Professor Schneider, the only person Lu Mingfei remembered who appeared in public with the iconic one-eyed mask was Kakashi Hatake from "Naruto". But Kakashi was not wearing an oxygen mask.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you should be talking about me, Professor Schneider." Lu Mingfei nodded in response.

"Do you want to be assigned to the executive department and perform the same mission as your senior brother Chu Zihang?" Schneider said in a low voice.

"Yes." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"No!" Schneider said firmly.

At the edge of the control room, many executive department members stood in the dark, with a sneer on their lips.

Lu Mingfei just looked at Professor Schneider calmly. He was not surprised by this answer. He would have found it strange if the other party agreed immediately.

"Professor, Lu Mingfei is very capable, I can guarantee it." Chu Zihang said.

"It has nothing to do with strength." Even when faced with the support of his favorite student, Professor Schneider still maintained an impartial and impartial attitude.

"Do you have any experience on the battlefield?" Schneider asked Lu Mingfei.

"No." Lu Mingfei answered honestly.

"Have you ever participated in the missions of the Executive Division and are you familiar with the mission arrangement model?"

"No."

"Have you ever taken a single course on dragon theory?"

"No."

"Then tell me, why should I agree to let you go to the battlefield?" Schneider said expressionlessly. "In other words, how can you guarantee that you won't hinder the Executive Department, that you won't let yourself, your senior brother, my student Chu Zihang, or any of my subordinates who are working with you die tragically on the battlefield?"

"I can't guarantee that, Professor," Lu Mingfei said, "but no one can guarantee that, because a place where people don't die wouldn't be called a battlefield."

"You're right." Schneider wasn't angry. He scanned Lu Mingfei with a hawk-like gaze. "But why should I send you? I have many excellent subordinates. They're all experienced and skilled."

"The guy hiding in the corner has independently captured a dangerous 'C'-rank hybrid. The guy standing behind you has completed two 'A'-rank missions. And you know Ye Sheng and Ya Ji, the best duo our executive department has had in recent years... Give me a reason to choose you over a subordinate I trust!"

"Because I'm the only 'S' rank here besides the principal, and..." Lu Mingfei paused, "No one knows how to slay dragons better than me."

Lu Mingfei knew that it was extremely inappropriate to say this, and it even made him seem like a young man who was ignorant of the immensity of the world.

But this was his reason, because he was telling the truth, and no one knew how to slay dragons better than him, including Hilbert Jean d'Angers, who was hailed as the strongest dragon slayer of the time.

According to the original development in the dream, the King of Bronze and Fire, the King of Earth and Mountains, the White King, Lu Mingfei's great achievements in slaying dragons directly or indirectly in just two years are a thousand times more glorious than the entire secret party's century-long history of slaying dragons combined!

After Lu Mingfei said this expressionlessly, the entire control room fell into a brief silence, and then burst into thunderous laughter.

"Hahahahaha..."

The mocking laughter swept over from all directions, so harsh that it was like a devilish sound filling the brain.

But the old man sitting in the main seat did not laugh. The picture appeared uncontrollably in his mind, the painting that he had burned, the painting in which the boy poured out his madness on his beloved tea table.

The wasteland was covered with mountains of dragon corpses, a scene as tragic as purgatory. The boy sat upright on a high throne, looking around with disdain.

"If you're telling me a joke to try to get away with it, I advise you not to. I don't like jokes." Schneider stared at Lu Mingfei coldly. "If I don't agree to this, there's no room for bargaining. Even if the principal speaks for you, it won't work!"

"Ahem." Principal Ange coughed twice, interrupting the tense atmosphere. He then looked at Schneider and asked, "Are you sure my words won't work?"

"Principal, what you mean is..." Schneider's eye that was not covered by the mask was full of disbelief.

"Let this kid try. After all, he is our only 'S' level." Ange looked at Lu Mingfei deeply.

Schneider wanted to say something but was stopped by Ange. Ange looked at Lu Mingfei and pointed at Ye Sheng and Shude Aki beside him.

"The premise is that you and Chu Zihang can do better than them."

Chapter 47 Underwater Coordinated Combat

An eerie atmosphere enveloped the entire control room. In the overly silent air, everyone's eyes wandered between the principal and the "S"-level newcomer.

"Better? What does the principal mean?" Lu Mingfei glanced at Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki, then looked at Principal Angers and asked.

The word "excellent" is too broad, and excellence can be interpreted in many aspects, but here Lu Mingfei feels that the "excellence" that Principal Angers refers to is definitely not referring to hard power.

He didn't mean to look down on his seniors, but to be honest, based on strength alone, if he and Chu Zihang were to beat Ye Shengjia Jiude Yaji... at best they would just have to sweat.

Professor Schneider also kept a close eye on Ange. He admired Ange very much. In other words, almost no one at Kassel Academy did not admire Ange. Here, everything Ange said was always correct and was an imperial decree, and all they had to do was listen to the guidance of the wise monarch.

But if the principal clearly wanted to protect "S", he would be the first to stand up and disobey the order, even if it meant being dragged away and his entire family being implicated in the next second.

The battlefield is not a joke, but human life on the battlefield is as cheap as a joke. Professor Schneider has the deepest understanding of this.

The Greenland Sea incident ten years ago haunted him for the rest of his life like an indelible nightmare. In that incident, he lost his most precious students and half of his own life. Until now, he has to rely on an oxygen tank to survive. Every time he thinks of it, the wound on his face that is as hideous and twisted as a snake will ache slightly!

Even if there is only a slight possibility, even if the principal says so, he will continue to be paranoid. He does not want to and will not allow such a tragedy to happen again!

"This mission takes place underwater, so naturally what's being tested is tacit understanding and combat effectiveness. Therefore, the method of testing is underwater coordinated combat."

Ange gave the answer.

After hearing the answer from President Ange, Professor Schneider breathed a sigh of relief and put his heart at ease.

Not only Schneider, almost all the commissioners present who were familiar with Ye Sheng and Jude Aki had already mentally ruled that the two boys had lost.

If the principal insisted on favoring his favorite "S" class and simply speaking based on strength, there would be no need for Lu Mingfei. Chu Zihang alone is worth Ye Sheng and Jiu De Yaji.

But when it comes to underwater coordinated combat, the two young men in the Executive Department are the best duo in the Executive Department in the past five years. Before this, they had completed 27 underwater coordinated operations. They have been inseparable teams since they were classmates in college and have been diving partners for five years. They can understand each other's hearts with just a glance during communication.

For them, their extraordinary tacit understanding and experience can completely make up for their lack of strength. If they were to fight underwater in pairs, the inexperienced Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang would seem to have no chance of winning!

Lu Mingfei turned to look at Chu Zihang and asked quietly, "Brother, you've been on so many missions and have plenty of experience in underwater coordinated combat. You should have some experience with this, right?"

Chu Zihang was silent for a moment before he spoke, "When I was a kid, taking a bath with my father, did having a water fight in the bathtub count?"

"Well... at least she's better than me. My aunt's house doesn't have a bathtub, and I've never had a water fight with my father..." Lu Mingfei didn't know whether he was comforting Chu Zihang or comforting himself.

"If you think of underwater coordinated combat as a water fight, that's fine. I'll prepare diving suits for you, but I won't be equipping you with oxygen tanks. You can have a four-person water fight underwater. The team whose members emerge first will be deemed the loser. If you're deemed the loser, you'll be completely cut out of this plan." Principal Ange turned his gaze back to Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, smiling and asking, "Are you okay with this, youngsters?"

"Accept." Lu Mingfei said firmly, with a gleam of uncompromising determination in his eyes.

Not only does he accept it, he must win.

If he didn't win, Ye Sheng and Jiude Aki would die. If he didn't win, Old Tang would die too. It would be so sad for so many people to die suddenly...

……

The diving area of ​​Kassel College was originally the training ground for the members of the Student Union's Diving Department. Today, it was booked by Principal Angers and the executive department. Caesar was naturally happy to donate generously.

Although the depth of twenty meters and the width of a standard basketball court are not as strong as the undercurrents under the Three Gorges, it is definitely enough to be a place for underwater coordinated combat.

When Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang, who had changed into dark ink-blue diving suits, walked out of the locker room, Ye Sheng and Jude Aki had already gone into the water to familiarize themselves with the water.

The two of them danced underwater like fish. Lu Mingfei seemed a little silent as he watched their tacit and effortless movements. He suspected that if these two people participated in any water event in the Olympics, it would be easy for them to win a gold medal?

"Brother, do you think if we gave them gills, they could live directly in the water?" Lu Mingfei complained secretly.

"I don't know, but I have to tell you, I learned freestyle swimming in elementary school, and I have probably forgotten most of it now. If my coach saw my current posture, he would probably refuse to admit that he had ever trained a student like me." Chu Zihang said truthfully.

"Then, senior brother, how long can you hold your breath underwater?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Mixed-bloods have a pretty good lung capacity. I haven't tested the specific time they can hold their breath for a long time, but is it probably about ten minutes?" Chu Zihang said uncertainly.

"Ten minutes..." Lu Mingfei glanced at Ye Sheng and Shude Aki, who were only a little short of a tail from being a mermaid in his eyes.

If Chu Zihang can hold his breath for ten minutes, then Ye Sheng and Shude Aki, who have undergone years of training, can hold their breath for even longer.

The resistance underwater is about eight hundred times that of air resistance on land. Naturally, all their sword skills were useless in the water.

Under the "Word Spirit·Commandments" of the Night Watchmen that covered the entire Kassel Academy, Chu Zihang's Word Spirit·Jun Yan naturally had no chance of being released. However, even if he could release it, Jun Yan, which had great lethality on the ground, would probably become a dud underwater!

It seems like nothing is going in my favor!

After Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang finished their warm-up exercises, they took a deep breath and began to enter the water.

The icy water started from the toes and flooded the body, calves, thighs, third legs, stomach, chest, head, until the whole person was immersed in the water, as if falling into a cold and dark abyss.

My hair fluttered and swayed like seaweed, the sound of the outside world was completely blocked by the transparent wall of water. The precious oxygen I had left in my chest before entering the water was being consumed every minute and every second...

Lu Mingfei had just suppressed the strong feeling of discomfort and opened his eyes underwater when he saw Ye Sheng suddenly lunging towards him like a swordfish.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo!" (Brother, you have no moral principles!)
