Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei, Starting as a Seeker of the Law

Chapter 56 Am I a Dragon? [Please Read Further]

"Dragon? Isn't that the symbol of ancient Chinese emperors?"

Old Tang was puzzled. His face tightened. "Mingming, don't tell me all of this has to do with dragons. Aren't they just fictional creatures?"

"But the truth is that dragons have existed since ancient times; they have a history of thousands of years." Lu Mingfei looked at Old Tang, his tone solemn. "Even... you are one of them."

"A dragon? I'm a dragon too?" Old Tang pointed to himself, somewhat incredulous. "If I'm a dragon, how come I don't know it myself?"

"I can't spray water or breathe fire, so what kind of dragon am I?"

Lu Mingfei raised an eyebrow, looking at the talisman pasted on Old Tang's chest with some hesitation.

"You don't know, and that's the biggest problem."

It was a talisman to stabilize one's mind. Lu Mingfei didn't know if it would work on someone like Old Tang, the so-called Dragon King, but he had to try anything.

We can't just face the Dragon King's consciousness, which could awaken at any moment, without any defenses.

He had already compiled all the information. Whether it was the intelligence from Kassel or Chip Girl, the conclusions were surprisingly consistent when faced with the real, newly born Dragon King.

Before he can form a true dragon body—kill the Dragon King who is still in human form.

Because the Dragon Kings don't truly die; whenever a Dragon King dies, they are resurrected from a pre-existing cocoon, much like Zerg hero units in StarCraft.

Their memories are not lost with death, but rather returned to them upon resurrection. From beginning to end, they are all 'human beings'.

Logically speaking, the person sitting in front of him should be the Dragon King with golden eyes, not Old Tang, a human with leaden gray eyes.

But that's exactly how it is.

Perhaps something went wrong during his resurrection. This Dragon King had no memory of birth, making him a social orphan who was adopted and raised in the United States, where he became his friend, Old Tang.

According to the information on dragon slaying, this kind of dragon king is the easiest to kill. It has neither a huge dragon body nor the power to resist modern weapons. Even the legendary earth-shattering incantation is restricted by the human body.

If not now, when?

What the true Dragon King left behind after his death is priceless. Any human organization associated with the dragon race would be eager to possess it.

For Lu Mingfei, it was also an immeasurable fortune.

The bloodline essence possessed by a true dragon king is incredibly profound just by hearing about it. It's obvious that it's worlds apart from the young dragon he killed.

Having absorbed its essence, what became of those blank fruits on the World Tree?

He could probably fill half of them directly, and he would also gain more and stronger supernatural abilities.

But this thought never crossed his mind.

There wasn't even the slightest struggle.

Old Tang was his friend, almost his only true friend during those three years.

He didn't care about Dragon Kings, wealth, or any supernatural abilities.

All he wanted was for Old Tang to survive.

We could ride along on a Greyhound bus on an interstate highway, singing off-key songs, not knowing where we were going. We'd get off at scenic spots, buy local hot dogs, eat them while squatting in the Greyhound's exhaust fumes, and wait for the next Greyhound to take us even further.

Instead of letting Old Tang bury in that bottomless water.

When Lu Mingfei recalled the scene that Shen Tong had seen, his heart skipped a beat.

At some unknown time, he personally killed his friend Lao Tang, and his supernatural powers transmitted the scene along with an indescribable emotion to him.

This is also why Lu Mingfei was so furious before.

[Sui Fei Same World Track]

This supernatural power originates from himself; the flames can even penetrate timelines, allowing him to perceive himself in different worldlines and read the memories of those "him".

Memories, intelligence, and an unparalleled mix of regret and rage intertwined.

Even just a few moments of mental shock nearly caused him to lose control.

Even before these "them" have truly "turned around," they have already brought such an impact; imagine if all of them truly looked over...

That would be terrible!

Thinking of this, he doesn't even dare to unleash the full power of his supernatural abilities, fearing that the countless visions of him turning around will shock his mind and turn him into a fool.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei knew how to explain it to Lao Tang.

He channeled his magic, conjuring a virtual image before Old Tang's eyes. In the image, an enraged man glared with golden eyes, beneath whom was a colossal creature whose details were obscured.

"Holy crap, what is this?!" Old Tang's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He had thought Lu Mingfei would give him some kind of bloodline test report or something, but what was this?

Virtual images? Whose virtual images appear from their fingertips?

But then his attention was drawn to the content on the screen.

"This is...me?"

He looked at the face on the screen, which seemed hesitant, and pinched his cheek.

"This...could this be me?"

He thought he had looked in the mirror for over ten years and that his appearance was something he could never mistake, but the scene before him made him feel somewhat dazed.

That was indeed his face—but just looking at the imposing aura on his face, like "a king's wrath can cause millions to fall," he felt he could never possess it in his lifetime.

"That's right, this is you." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, withdrawing his magic power, and the image disappeared. He then added, "Or rather, this is you after the consciousness and memories of the Dragon King within you have awakened."

"Memory awakening?" Old Tang was stunned. "If my memories are awakened, I'll become a powerful, overpowered protagonist like this? Is there really such a good thing? I'd probably get hit on by beautiful women on the street, right?"

"Do you think this is a good thing?" Lu Mingfei asked coldly.

"Isn't that right?" Old Tang didn't understand. "Even if my memories return, aren't I still me? What difference does it make?"

"The difference is huge."

Lu Mingfei stretched out his finger and began to gesture on the coffee table: "From the time you have memories until now, all of this has only taken a little over ten years. Your personality and experiences have also been cultivated during this period."

"So, how do you feel about the forgotten memories, those thousands of years of consciousness and personality, compared to your own?"

Old Tang hesitated, his tone softening, "Is it like throwing an egg against a rock?"

"I'm afraid you're not even worth an egg." Lu Mingfei shook his head, stating the worst possible outcome.

"After thousands of years of memories being washed away, you will probably only become a fleeting memory of that personality, and the most tragic result will be complete disappearance."

"Disappeared?" Old Tang looked at his hands, never expecting such a thing to happen to him.

If that's the case, then it makes sense. No wonder he's never encountered the 'special animals' those people talk about.

So he wasn't even human?
