Chapter 50 Capturing the Dragon with One Hand!
The thick quartz glass separated the inside from the outside.
The vice principal and Director Akadullah and his entourage were gathered together, whispering to each other.
Upon seeing Lu Mingfei, who had been brought in by Deputy Director Karl, they stopped their discussion. After nodding to Lu Mingfei, the vice principal signaled to Director Akadula to begin the experiment.
As the lever was pushed down, a robotic arm in the laboratory poured a tube of gray solution onto the copper container.
This is a liquid obtained by the academy from an ancient Egyptian tomb. After experimenting, they discovered that it is the only solution capable of corroding the alchemical materials that make up the vessel.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the gray liquid filled the container holding the copper pot.
At first, there was only a slight hissing sound.
The initial foam was small, but as more liquid was added, the contact area with the can became larger and larger, and soon the foam of all sizes covered the entire can.
"The gray tin solution is corroding it," Deputy Director Carl whispered.
After listening, Director Akadula nodded: "That's right. At this rate of reaction, we should be able to see the situation inside the tank in no time."
As the two professionals discussed the topic, the vice principal's face, etched with the marks of time, revealed a rare look of seriousness.
He was also unsure what the consequences would be of blindly opening the eggs of what appeared to be four king-level dragons.
But now that the board of trustees' investigation team has entered the campus, he needs to offer some leverage for negotiation.
And a first-generation species that may still be alive will be his biggest trump card.
However, he also did not deny his own selfish motives. If there really was a first-generation dragon king among them, then he might become the first dragon slayer in the history of hybrid races to kill a dragon king.
As for Lu Mingfei, who is now the principal, he didn't take him seriously. After all, even if the other party had the highest authority in the academy, he was still just a kid who had just joined the school.
Judging from his age, Lu Mingfei's previous actions were nothing more than the inflated ego of a teenage boy who had suddenly gained power.
He glanced at Lu Mingfei out of the corner of his eye and saw that he was watching the violent reaction between the copper pot and the gray tin solution intently. His heart slowly settled back into his stomach.
He silently prayed that everything would go well.
As the reaction between the gray tin solution and the copper can intensifies to its maximum, the once indestructible surface of the copper can slowly melts, like butter in a hot pan, and a bluish-green liquid seeps out.
Suddenly, a low growl came from the jar, a sound that seemed to have crossed time and space from the primordial era, resounding in everyone's heart.
"What's that sound?" The vice principal was the first to react. As the person with the highest bloodline level in this area, his speech range was so large that it could cover the entire campus.
Deputy Director Carl had already rushed to the equipment, his hands typing furiously on the keyboard while his eyes were glued to the scrolling data on the screen.
A look of shock flashed across his face. He turned around and opened his mouth to shout at the crowd.
thump!
The lights in the laboratory suddenly went out, and even the instruments stopped working, plunging the surroundings into darkness. But the next second, emergency lights came on.
The people who had fallen into darkness were restored to light, but this time a pale green light appeared on everyone's face.
At that moment, the low growl sounded again.
With the power cut off, the laboratory entered an emergency escape state, and all the doors to the rooms were left wide open.
And the laboratory that was storing the copper jars was no exception.
"Hurry up!"
Faced with a dragon king about to awaken, and their own side who were unprepared and at a disadvantage from the start, the vice principal did not hesitate to turn around and hide everyone behind him.
However, these bomb fanatics who usually conduct research underground, despite their seemingly crazy appearance, reacted quickly when faced with danger that threatened their lives. They had already scattered and fled before the vice principal even shouted "Run!"
Bang! A fragment of the copper pot was inexplicably sent flying and embedded itself in a nearby pipe, causing white steam to gush out and envelop the entire room.
However, one person went against the flow of the fleeing crowd.
Lu Mingfei walked straight toward the bronze pot, casually leaving behind all obstacles in his path, including a researcher who nearly bumped into him in his panic.
Even if the opponent is the Dragon King, and one of the legendary Four Great Kings, he has only just entered this world, so his strength is probably not yet at its peak.
And what he needs to do is:
Capture the dragon with one hand!
Lu Mingfei finally arrived in front of the bronze pot. Strangely, the closer he got, the faint growl that instilled fear in ordinary people became. By the time he actually stood in front of the bronze pot, it was so faint that it was almost inaudible.
"Let me see your true colors," Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.
He looked at the hole in the copper pot that had just been made by the molten tin.
In the darkness, he heard a child's voice.
"elder brother."
······
Let's rewind to half an hour earlier.
A dark figure arrived at a protective door located underground, dozens of meters below the surface of Kassel College.
This is an access door leading to the computer room of Norma, the AI secretary at the college.
It can be said that no one can pass through here without authorization from the principal.
But the shadowy figure simply pulled out a white card from his pocket and swiped it lightly in front of the cipher machine.
The previously closed inspection door flashed a green light and slowly opened.
The dark figure stepped inside, revealing its true form under the emergency lights of the maintenance passage.
Wearing a sharp black suit and a silver-gray tie, he looked more like a business professional than a repairman.
He walked through the maintenance passage with light and agile steps, just like a ballet dancer performing on tiptoe on stage.
Before arriving here, he had already reviewed the architectural drawings and knew that as long as he passed through this corridor and swiped open another protective door, he could successfully reach Norma's heart.
Central computer room.
This simple task posed no challenge to him whatsoever. The academy was full of unreliable individuals, and after Angers fell, not a single person was capable of stepping forward to take charge.
Victory will belong to...
The Gattuso family!
The final security door awaited him at the end of the corridor.
He was just about to use the same trick again when a voice suddenly rang out from the shadows.
"Sorry, this door is closed."
A man also dressed in a suit stepped out of the shadows, except that his shirt was open, revealing his taut chest muscles.
What's even stranger is that his head was covered by a black plastic bag with two crooked holes cut out to serve as observation ports.
Pascal Gattuso remained silent for a moment, then obediently took half a step back.
"You're really leaving!" the man said, somewhat surprised.
The next second, Percy flashed and became a blur as he pounced on the man at lightning speed.
