Chapter 180 What a crime

"You did surprise me a little..."

When walking out of the library, Lu Mingfei suddenly heard a voice behind him. At this time, he was worrying about his dance partner. The sudden voice scared him a little. After turning around, he saw Chu Zihang's poker face.

"I never realized before that you are actually S-level, and... this time you have indeed proved that you are worthy of this bloodline." Chu Zihang continued.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Chu, for the... compliment?” Lu Mingfei felt a little honored. You know, no one in Shilan had ever been praised by Chu Zihang before.

Whenever this cold senior appeared, he always carried a special aura with him, as if he was the invincible Dugu Qiubai. He never took any mediocre mortal seriously, with the only exception being Gu Ye.

But Lu Mingfei was not surprised. In his opinion, if you get to know Gu Ye deeply, no one can escape his outstanding personal charm. Gu Ye is like the stereotypical big brother character in the movie, and he is 100% enthusiastic towards his friends.

This situation brought together many outstanding people around him. No matter it was the arrogant little angel or the cold Chu Zihang, they all became good friends of Gu Ye.

But Lu Mingfei himself was different. He got to know Chu Zihang because of Gu Ye in Shilan. Apart from that, the two had no social interaction. Even when they occasionally chatted, it was always about Gu Ye's gossip. Now this cold-faced senior brother actually took the initiative to praise him. It was really like the sun rising from the west.

"Don't doubt it, it's just a compliment..." Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei's somewhat unbelievable expression and continued speaking.

"But you are still a little short of being Gu Ye's fighting partner... unless you can become what you were like that day."

During these few days of observation, Chu Zihang did not find anything unusual about Lu Mingfei, as if the little madman that day was not him.

Chu Zihang soon understood that perhaps this junior fellow was suffering from a disorder like split personality. After asking Gu Ye, he confirmed his guess, but at the same time he felt a little disappointed.

The gap between himself and Gu Ye, an S-level player, was too huge. Chu Zihang saw no chance of surpassing him. But Lu Mingfei was different. He just didn't want to hurt him that day. Chu Zihang believed that as long as he let go of his restraints, Lu Mingfei would not let him become so embarrassed.

Perhaps Lu Mingfei's strength is what a true S-level bloodline should show. Chu Zihang has a glimmer of hope to catch up with Gu Ye. He wants to use this S-level to continue to hone himself until he can easily deal with Lu Mingfei, and then challenge Gu Ye again.

After all, if he can easily defeat Lu Mingfei, who is an S-level player, it means that Chu Zihang has made very obvious progress, and he may not lose so miserably when facing Gu Ye again.

It’s just…it seems that Lu Mingfei isn’t as good at fighting as his other personality, even though his performance today was excellent.

"I know...so I will keep working hard until I can stand beside Brother Gu." Lu Mingfei stared into Chu Zihang's eyes seriously.

"After class, you can come to Norton Hall to find me, and I will find time to train you." After saying this, Chu Zihang left without looking back.

"Does Chu Zihang... agree with me?" Lu Mingfei showed a hint of surprise on his face when he heard Chu Zihang's words.

This should be the best news Lu Mingfei has heard besides Gu Ye's escape from danger. In this way, he makes the people around Gu Ye recognize him little by little. With continuous progress, Lu Mingfei believes that one day he will truly fight side by side with Gu Ye.

But... Senior Brother Chu, why is he so arrogant? He clearly wants to give me some advice, but it feels like a leader giving orders to a soldier. Forget it... I have heard of Senior Brother Chu's achievements in battle. With his guidance, I might be able to improve faster.

Two days later, in the "ice cellar" of Kassel College.

"Ice cellar" does not refer to an ice cellar in the literal sense, but the underground part of Kassel College, which is also the most important place in the entire college.

The laboratory of the dean of the department, Norma's mainframe, heavy experimental equipment and a subway leading to the outside are all here. The huge underground space integrates electronic, mechanical and alchemical technologies. No one can invade here except by internal personnel.

In a laboratory deep inside here, Angers was carefully examining the extremely complex patterns on the bronze jar in front of him.

"It is indeed Norton's bone bottle, or egg. The words on it are: I dedicate my bones and blood to the great Majesty Nidhogg, who is the supreme, powerful and virtuous being who rules the whole world with destiny. The one inside is Norton!" Angé concluded as he looked at it carefully.

"What a pity! I thought I could have a fight with the Dragon King." Gu Ye behind Ange sighed. Although he knew that Norton was still in the jar, after Ange's confirmation, Gu Ye was even more disappointed.

If it is caught before it can be revived, can it still be revived? However, this cannot be considered a failure. After all, it can easily solve a quarter of the threat of the end of the world, which is also good news.

If the remaining Dragon Kings can be dealt with so easily, then he can accept not having to fight. After all, his ultimate goal is just to protect his mother, Xia Mi and the friends around him.

"I know you are getting stronger and stronger now, but the Dragon King is not that easy to deal with." Angers turned his head and looked at Gu Ye seriously. "Really? Maybe they are difficult to deal with, but humans are the species with the greatest possibility, right? They thought they were just sleeping for a while, but when they woke up, they faced human tanks and cannons... Technology has developed so fast in just a few hundred years. Who can be sure that I won't become strong enough before the Dragon King revives?" Gu Ye denied Angers' statement.

"This is what I admire most about you. You always have a sense of confidence. Only by believing that humanity will ultimately win can you become the true light of hope..." Angé patted Gu Ye's shoulder.

"Now that Norton's bone bottle has been found, we can implement the plan next. You should prepare in advance..."

"What plan?" Gu Ye was a little confused. Until now, he still didn't know what Angers wanted to do.

"We call it the Nibelungen Project. Of course... it has another nickname, which is the Hybrid Monarch Project. It aims to strengthen bloodlines, break through the limits of hybrids, and break through the theories in textbooks... to seize the authority of the Dragon King with a human body." Angé spoke slowly.

"It sounds interesting. How confident are you?" Gu Ye showed a hint of interest on his face, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart.

That's it? If Ange knew that he had seized Norton's authority, would he be so surprised that his jaw would drop?
"There's no certainty...you could die at any time, but once you succeed, you will be the last hope of mankind." Angé shook his head.

"That's really your style, Principal Angers..." Gu Ye showed a look of understanding. Angers was still the same Angers. No matter if he would fail or not, as long as there was a glimmer of possibility, he would not give up.

Sacrifice? You must be kidding... If he can kill the dragons, what does this have to do with Ange? Once the dragons are involved, he won't care about anything other than killing them.

"So you mean you refuse?" asked Ange.

"No, I agreed... I just like to challenge impossible things." Gu Ye turned around and spoke with his back to Angé.

What if he didn't agree? If it wasn't him, who would be next? Chu Zihang? Caesar? Or... Lu Mingfei?

Strengthening bloodline would be accompanied by huge risks for other people, but for Gu Ye it would only be an enhancement. Although it would be slower than killing the Dragon King, it was at least an enhancement, wasn't it?

And... with this enhancement, I should have a chance to explain myself when I use the power of the Soul Lotus in the future, right? At worst, I can say that it's because of the enhanced bloodline that caused the mutation. Anyway, no one in the Dragon Clan has been able to figure it out until now.

"I knew you wouldn't refuse, so leave the task of lobbying those guys to me. You just need to be prepared..." There was a hint of relaxation in Angé's eyes. He was really afraid that Gu Ye would refuse. If Gu Ye refused, then Lu Mingfei would be the most suitable person.

But judging from Lu Mingfei's current growth rate, it is still too slow. I wonder how long it will take for him to truly reach Gu Ye's level.

"Be prepared...to accept the Nibelungen Plan at any time."

"Ok, I got it... If there's nothing else, I'll go back. Take care of this can and don't lose it." Waving his hand, Gu Ye walked towards the exit.

"Wait..." Angers began.

"Is there anything else?" Gu Ye stopped and asked.

"Don't forget the party tonight, many girls are looking forward to your arrival~" Ange teased.

"Tsk... I have a girlfriend, tell those women to get away!" Gu Ye shook his head.

“You probably don’t want Lu Mingfei to be torn to pieces by that group of girls, right? After all, the protagonist this time besides you is Lu Mingfei.” Angé said.

"Okay... I get it..." Gu Ye covered his forehead helplessly. He actually forgot about this.

He hadn't explained yet how Lu Mingfei had taken advantage of the situation to win against him. If he didn't go today, Gu Ye could already imagine what would happen.

Those girls would definitely think that Lu Mingfei stole their credit and showed up at the party so brazenly. After this, Lu Mingfei would probably have to consider wearing a helmet when going out, as he might be attacked by those girls.

Alas... I was the cause of all this. Gu Ye felt a little embarrassed when he thought about how he had implicated this loser. But when he thought about the group of girls at the dance, Gu Ye felt even more uncomfortable. The dilemma made him close his eyes and talk to himself in a low voice.

"It's really... a sin..."
