Lionheart Society: I am an S-class freshman, with infinite power of words.

Lin Chen: "...Principal, it's such a shame you don't participate in the debate competition!"

Angers smiled and said, "Back when I was at Cambridge University, I was a polymath. I loved Quintilian's rhetoric, and no one could beat me in debates during my time there."

The Night Watchman asked curiously, "Oh? How come I've never heard of this part of your story?"

Angers shrugged: "Because I later discovered that silencing people through debate is completely useless; I always beat them into submission!"

Lin Chen clapped again. Angers was able to reach the position of principal of Kassel College by relying on his iron fist.

Angers waved his hand: "Alright, Lin Chen, let's continue our previous topic. I'm entrusting the Bronze and Fire King to you. I've already prepared the Bronze Plan, which is scheduled to be carried out two months from now at the Qutang Gorge of the Yangtze River to slay the dragon and completely kill the Bronze and Fire King!"

"Understood." Lin Chen took a deep breath.

The war between hybrids and dragons is inevitable, and the Bronze and Fire Kings are insurmountable barriers that hybrids must face!

Angers continued, "This was originally the Executive Department's job, but recently the Executive Department has been unable to spare any manpower. Given the current situation, the Executive Department will also need to spare manpower to guard the school. Therefore, this operation will be mainly led by Professor Manstein, with the main members being students. You can recommend suitable personnel to me."

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "How many people do we need?"

“There’s no limit to the number of people; as long as we can kill the King of Bronze and Fire, we’re willing to invest any amount,” Angers said. “But you are the most important spear; the others are just supporting roles!”

Lin Chen said, "Principal, you are the sharpest spear!"

Angers shook his head: "I know your strength. If you can't even deal with the King of Bronze and Fire, then I won't be his match either."

The Night Watchman asked from the side, "What if Lin Chen fails to kill the King of Bronze and Fire?"

Angers spoke softly, "Then I will take the weapons of the Armory Department and perish together with the King of Bronze and Fire!"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "Give me two people, Zero and Nono!"

The Night Watchman said, "This level of mission usually involves two people, but you need four, and you're one short."

Lin Chen said, "I think Principal Angers has already reserved the last spot!"

Ang nodded: "Lu Mingfei, I want to see just how much potential he has."

"Me, Nuonuo, Ling, and Lu Mingfei are enough."

Angers looked at Lin Chen: "Why not choose Chu Zihang? I remember he has always followed you."

Lin Chen shook his head: "His Word of Power is Monarch Flame, which belongs to the Bronze and Fire system. He just faced the Dragon King directly, but his Word of Power was completely suppressed. Participating in the Bronze Project will not change anything. Going there will only damage his confidence!"

“Okay!” Angzhe nodded. “Then it’s settled! The Bronze Project will begin tomorrow. Classes will be suspended for intensive training!”

……

Two months later.

Yangtze River, Qutang Gorge.

The Moniach floated quietly on the river.

The sky was dotted with stars; it was a beautiful, sunny day.

A gentle breeze swept across the river, creating ripples.

Manstein sat in the ship's control room, surrounded by all the staff who were on high alert.

Professor Manstein first assigned tasks to each group, and then began to explain the specific tasks.

"The underwater diving team needs to carry bombs into the water and plant them in the palace of the Bronze and Fire King to wake him up and lure him up!"

"The King of Bronze and Fire is incredibly powerful right now. He is the king of metal and fire, and no metal or explosion can harm him in the slightest. Therefore, we have prepared the most powerful weapon 233!"

"Storm Torpedo! The world's fastest torpedo, with an underwater speed of up to 200 knots, which is definitely faster than the diving speed of dragons and enough to catch up with the King of Bronze and Fire underwater!"

"Ordinary Storm torpedoes are equipped with nuclear warheads, but ours are equipped with alchemical warheads developed by the Equipment Department!"

"The warhead has a spiral-shaped interior, carrying 8000 alchemical shrapnel fragments. When it explodes, these 8000 fragments will bloom like flowers, like an electric saw, enough to cut through the scales of a dragon and slice it in half!"

Lu Mingfei hesitated before raising her hand: "This is just a reservoir, this is a weapon used in naval warfare!"

Professor Manstein remained remarkably calm: "At this point, the water depth is nearly 400 meters. Using the Storm Torpedo would be absolutely no problem. At most, it would cause an underwater landslide, and the resulting tremors would only cause a magnitude 3 earthquake!"

Lu Mingfei nodded nervously.

Lin Chen patted him on the shoulder: "Calm down, this is not something you should be thinking about!"

Lu Mingfei glanced at Lin Chen and then breathed a sigh of relief: "I feel much more at ease seeing you, senior!"

Lin Chen shrugged: "There's nothing to worry about, today is your day!"

Lu Mingfei was taken aback: "Mine?"

Lin Chen smiled at him, a smile that held a deeper meaning.

148: Even when my period comes, I have to go into the water! Going out is a sure way to die!

According to the plan, Lin Chen and Ling were part of underwater operation group A and needed to go underwater first.

During regular diving training, Lin Chen's diving results were undoubtedly number one.

Lin Chen maintained considerable confidence in his ability to navigate the waters. Even when facing the King of Bronze and King of Fire, Lin Chen had nothing to fear.

Lin Chen was about to go into the water when Ling suddenly raised his hand.

"I have a problem, I can't go into the water today!"

Manstein looked Zero up and down: "Not convenient? You look pretty good."

Lin Chen also looked at Zero, as if he had suddenly thought of something: "Oh right, Zero isn't feeling well today!"

Lu Mingfei, who was listening nearby, was stunned: "Huh? What could be wrong with you? You look perfectly fine!"

Lu Mingfei was a little nervous because if Zero was unavailable, the underwater operation would be handed over to his Team B. Lu Mingfei was a bit timid and didn't want to go underwater.

Zero remained remarkably calm: "I'm on my period, so I can't go into the water!"

Lu Mingfei was completely petrified: "Do you even know what 'Aunt Flo' means in Chinese?"

Zero shrugged: "Of course I know, it was during those few days."

Lu Mingfei remained bewildered: "Okay, but how did you know she was inconvenient, Senior Lin Chen!"

Ling glanced at Lin Chen, and a bit of color finally returned to the cold expression on her face. She then lowered her head.

Lin Chen tapped Lu Mingfei on the head: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask!"

Lu Mingfei lowered her head timidly.

Professor Manstein nodded: "Kassel College always guarantees women's basic rights, so today Group B will be the substitute!"

Nono nodded in agreement: "No problem!"

But Lu Mingfei panicked: "No, no, don't be so hasty!"

Nuonuo gave Lu Mingfei a disdainful look: "Do you think I wanted to be in a group with you? Otherwise, I would have gone diving with Lin Chen!"

"Okay, okay!" Lu Mingfei quickly replied.

Manstein shook his head: "No, the Executive Department has its own rules. Those working in the water can't have personal relationships. Although I don't know about the relationships between you young people, Nono has been Lin Chen's personal secretary for quite a while now! To avoid personal feelings, Lin Chen and Nono can't team up!"

Lu Mingfei scratched her head: "Actually, Senior Lin Chen and Ling also..."

Zero stared at Lu Mingfei, his calm eyes seeming to conceal a knife.

Lu Mingfei quickly lowered her head and remained silent.

Lin Chen looked at Lu Mingfei: "I think you're in pretty good shape today!"

Lu Mingfei stammered, "Actually, no... I... I feel like I'm not feeling well today. If I had to say, I've also been having my period these past few days..."

Manstein interrupted him directly: "I also think Lu Mingfei is in good condition. I understand your panic during your first mission, but you are the principal's handpicked specialist, and one in a million S-rank. Your strength is far superior to others, and you are fully capable of carrying out this mission!"

Lu Mingfei said hesitantly, "It sounds like this is an evaluation of Senior Lin Chen."

Manstein said seriously, "Alright, time is running out. Get ready to begin the mission! Go change into your diving suits!"

The diving suit was quickly changed, and all the preliminary preparations were completed. The data cable, lifeline, and oxygen equipment were all in good working order.

Lin Chen stood opposite Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei, whose whole body seemed to be trembling slightly.

Nono looked at Lin Chen: "I'm going down!"

Lin Chen hugged Nuonuo: "Go, but be careful!"

Nono rested her head on Lin Chen's shoulder: "When I get back, take me out for something delicious. I've been eating the academy's nutritious meals to control my weight, and I'm really craving it!"

Lin Chen patted Nuonuo on the back: "Don't make such a death wish if you go out. I'll wait for you to come back!"

Nono stuck out her tongue inside her oxygen mask: "I really want to kiss you before I leave!"

Lin Chen smiled: "You'll get your share when you get back!"

Lu Mingfei stood awkwardly to the side: "Brother and sister-in-law, have you finished chatting? I'm starting to panic!"

Nuonuo reluctantly let go of Lin Chen, and rolled her eyes at Lu Mingfei: "Scared?"

"Of...of course!" Lu Mingfei stammered again, "If we just plant a bomb in the Dragon King's house like this, the Dragon King will be unhappy, won't he?"

"Don't worry," Lin Chen said. "The Dragon King just appeared and needs a long time to regenerate his body, so he should still be in a dormant state and won't wake up easily. Therefore, we need to use bombs to force him to hatch prematurely and then kill him!"

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment: "But he is the Dragon King after all. If he used his Word of Power, we would all be dead by now!"

Helpless, Lin Chen gave Lu Mingfei a push on the shoulder, causing him to tumble off the ship's side and into the water.
