They were initially somewhat relieved that they hadn't gone into the water, otherwise facing the next generation would have meant certain death.
The Executive Department has many tasks, but at most they only deal with fourth and fifth generation dragon species.
With the sudden change to a second-generation species, even Principal Angers couldn't guarantee a safe escape.
Professor Mans suddenly turned around and shouted behind him, "What are you standing there for? Quickly test the dragon servant!"
Dragons are unlike ordinary creatures; they have extremely strong vitality and can be resurrected even with the slightest chance.
Even though the dragon is now submerged here, Professor Mans still doesn't dare to completely relax.
The executive staff on board snapped out of their daze and rushed back to their cabins and their posts.
Soon, the voice of an executive officer echoed in the command center.
"Thermal imaging complete. The temperature of the dragon servant's corpse is gradually decreasing, which is consistent with the laws of biological death!"
"No heartbeat detected in the Dragon Servant! The Dragon Servant's death is consistent with medically recognized signs of death!"
"The dragon servant is brain dead, and his limbs are gradually getting cold and stiff!"
"The magnetic field within the Qutang Gorge area has returned to normal, and no more aftershock warnings have been issued!"
"The heavy rain has subsided, and the weather forecast indicates it will turn cloudy within two hours and clear up after three hours!"
"..."
Professor Mans breathed a sigh of relief. All these test results confirmed that the dragon servant in front of him was indeed dead!
The executives looked at each other, and they all saw the joy of surviving a disaster on each other's faces.
It's unclear who started it, but applause soon filled the entire command center.
Shudeya was also clapping excitedly, but Ye Sheng, standing in the corner, was stunned. He stared at the corpse of Long Shi, still in shock, and carefully sat down, holding onto the railing.
He originally harbored resentment towards Lin Chen.
He and Shuto Aki were originally a team member and had carried out many missions together. He also secretly developed feelings for Shuto Aki.
But Lin Chen's sudden appearance immediately captured the heart of Shudeya.
Later, when the task was divided into groups, Lin Chen and Jiu Deya were in one group, while he and Anna were in another group, which made him feel uncomfortable.
He felt that he was no worse than Lin Chen, so why should he be in the reserve group? He wanted to prove to Shudeya that he was better than Lin Chen.
He went to Professor Mans to request to be in the same group, but Professor Mans didn't even glance at his request report and rejected it outright.
Only now did Ye Sheng realize how right Professor Mans's perfunctory decision was.
If he were standing opposite the Dragon Servant, he believed he wouldn't be able to withstand a single sweep of the Dragon Servant's tail.
No, let alone the Dragon Servant, he couldn't even get out of the Bronze City.
Lin Chen put his arm around the girl next to him, and glanced at Ye Sheng in the corner.
It's good to shatter this guy's worldview a bit; he really needs to calm down.
Lin Chen felt no guilt towards him; beautiful women are always meant to be owned by the capable.
If it's just that Shudeya likes Lin Chen, then it's only because Ye Sheng isn't capable enough.
Even if we take a step back and say that Lin Chen did manage to steal Jiu Deya Ji, he at least saved Ye Sheng's life.
Otherwise, if Ye Sheng were truly thrown into the water, in the original work, he would have been turned into a skeleton in the Bronze City.
Lin Chen turned around and saw that Professor Mans was already arranging for an executive officer to go underwater and prepare to approach the dragon servant for further examination and research.
After arranging all that, Professor Mans turned around, hesitating as if to give Lin Chen a bear hug, but Lin Chen dodged it.
Professor Mans could only excitedly grasp Lin Chen's hand, almost bursting into tears.
"Lin Chen, thanks to you! You actually managed to kill the Bronze and Fire King's Dragon Servant. How did you do that?"
The steam from the earlier battle obscured the view of the fight, so no one knew what had happened inside the thick smoke.
Lin Chen shrugged: "So... he just killed the dragon servant!"
The Seven Deadly Sins are a good thing, and Lin Chen doesn't intend to be foolish enough to reveal them to the academy.
While enraged during the battle with the dragon servant, the sword lunged at its head, but as the heavy sword pierced through, Lin Chen used the Word Spirit Lord's Flame.
The intense heat of the flames scorched the wound, and no one could tell whether the mark was left by a greatsword or a katana.
Professor Mans scratched his head: "You seem to have said something, but you also seem to have said nothing at all."
"All royal blood must end with the sword; just kill it with a knife!"
Lin Chen spoke casually, but Professor Mans knew what it meant.
To kill a next-generation species with the body of a hybrid is unprecedented in the history of dragon slaying!
"As expected of an S-rank!" Professor Mans patted Lin Chen's shoulder hard. "You have given me hope for Kassel College. I used to think that Principal Angers was the last glory of Kassel College, but now it seems that the glory will continue in your hands. What's that old Chinese saying again?"
After thinking for a moment, Shudeyaji said, "Is it true that those who know when to yield are the wise ones?"
Lin Chen was speechless: "Aki, you're such a naive person, all you can say is something like that!"
"No, no, no!" Professor Mans waved his hand. "It's that the student has surpassed the teacher! The future of this class is limitless!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Professor Mans, you flatter me!"
“Hey!” Professor Mans insisted, “You know I’m not usually this talkative, but I’m incredibly happy right now. We’ve defeated the Bronze and Fire King’s dragon servant and captured the urn containing the Bronze and Fire King’s bones. This is unheard of in the history of hybrids!”
Shudeya nodded: "I think so too, Lin Chen is really amazing!"
Professor Mans smiled: "As expected of our elite S-class, you are the future leader of Kassel College. I heard that you also recruited a new S-class for the college. That must be an outstanding individual with unlimited potential!"
Shudeya smiled wryly: "I really can't agree with what you're saying."
Professor Mans was taken aback: "What do you mean? Did I say something wrong?"
"No, no!" Jiudeya quickly said, "It's fine for you to praise him, Professor Guderian and Principal Angers also praised him, but comparing him to Lin Chen, I really don't think it's necessary!"
Professor Mans still didn't understand, so Shudeya could only continue, "You'll find out when you get back to the academy. All first-year students will have to take your Magic Mechanics course, and then you'll meet him!"
"Alright, alright!" Professor Mans waved his hand, as if he wanted to say something more, when he suddenly heard a violent gust of wind overhead.
That was the sound of a helicopter rotor; a black iron bird descended from the sky.
Professor Mans perked up and straightened his suit.
Jiudeya looked up: "Who's here, Xi?"
116: Angers arrives! Professor Mans's favor!
The helicopter landed on the deck of the "Moniach", and Principal Angers, dressed in a black suit, walked down from it.
This renowned educator always wore a black suit, a black tie, and exquisite black handmade leather shoes, and carried a black umbrella.
He considers himself a funeral attendant for dragons, and therefore always wears the attire that should be worn at a funeral!
This time he truly made it; he buried Samson, the dragon servant of the King of Bronze and Fire.
Angers stared intently at the dragon's body in the water as soon as he got off the plane, and it took him a long time to look away.
Everyone bowed to Angers: "Good morning, Principal!"
He nodded, signaling everyone to stand up.
Professor Mans stepped forward: "Headmaster, it's confirmed, the dragon is dead! Its bloodline is that of the first generation, a dragon servant responsible for guarding the Bronze and Fire King, Nibelungen!"
Angers' eyes were as sharp as an eagle's; he always wore the same expression when looking at dragons.
"Well done!" said Angers. "Who personally killed it!"
Jiu Deya raised her hand: "It's Lin Chen!"
Professor Mans gave her a wink, signaling her not to say anything out of line.
Shude Aki realized that this was not a topic for her to discuss, so she quickly lowered her head.
Angers turned to look at Lin Chen, and Lin Chen nodded in response.
The sharpness in Angers' eyes faded, and he looked at Lin Chen with a friendly smile, instantly transforming from a mourner into the kind and approachable educator.
"Well done!" Angers said. "You truly deserve to be my most valued student. Your progress has far exceeded my expectations! It's unbelievable that you could kill such a being!"
"I didn't expect that killing this guy would take so much effort!"
"This is the first time the academy has obtained the body of a sub-species, which will be of great help to our research! Even if we cannot refine a complete Dragon Bone Cross, its remains will become the best raw material for alchemical weapons!"
Lin Chen nodded: "In comparison, Principal, would you like to take a look at something else? This is just a secondary species; the primary species are truly noble!"
Professor Mans quickly brought over the bone flask, which Lin Chen had brought out from Bronze City.
Angers took the ossuary in his hands and tried to feel what was inside.
Professor Mans said, "I have already tested it with the instruments. It is probably something like an embryo inside. I heard a heartbeat inside, and when I get close to it, it produces an intense blood-like sorrow. It is because of this bone flask that the next generation of dragon servants caught up with us. There must be the King of Bronze and Fire inside!"
Angers' eyes were filled with a complex expression, and Professor Mans couldn't tell whether Angers was excited or sad.
Lin Chen nodded: "It's just a pity that there's only half left inside!"
Professor Mans was taken aback: "What? What do you mean by 'half'?"
Angers was also stunned. He stroked the crack on the side of the bone vial and finally let out a long sigh: "It really is so!"
