Dragon Raja: Starting with Deadpool, Evolving Through Devouring

Page 54

Older gingers are more spicy!

Having witnessed Principal Angers' effortless and masterful command of the Word of Power: Time Zero, Cao Han had to admit defeat.

This is an old man who has honed his skills to the point of "approaching the Tao."

"It's easy for people to feel isolated when talking while sitting across from each other at an office desk."

Angers' every move exudes the mature charm of an old English gentleman; he doesn't look like a 130-year-old man at all.

"I knew I wasn't wrong. Your dragon bloodline has crossed the threshold, hasn't it?"

"Critical line? What does that mean? I don't really understand." Cao Han shook his head, not quite sure.

"This means that the power of a hybrid's words is not absolute. As the dragon bloodline in the body crosses the threshold and further improves, the power of words may also undergo a qualitative change!"

For example, the moment when serial number 72 evolves into serial number 84 at time zero.

"Perhaps," Cao Han could only give an ambiguous answer.

It can't be said that both of the Word Spirits were obtained by the system's brother through devouring.

Hopefully, this poorly chosen strategy will allow Angers to fill in the gaps in their understanding or stop delving into the specific reasons.

Since coming into contact with the real world, Cao Han is certain that he has only revealed the two incantations of "moment" and "time zero" in front of others.

This choice is exactly what Angers said, and this makes sense.

Everyone has their own secrets, and Angers is no exception. Sensing that Cao Han didn't want to dwell on the topic, he quickly cut to the chase:

"You killed a sub-genius on your way to the academy. You really gave us old guys a big surprise."

Cao Han shrugged nonchalantly, "As long as it doesn't surprise you."

Angers picked up his teacup and blew on it gently. "Professor Schneider should have told you... the purpose of our academy is to slay dragons!"

"That's the main reason I chose to come here!"

It's a pity that what he was holding was tea, otherwise Angers would have felt that just that one sentence was enough to warrant a big toast.

"The school's disciplinary committee has approached me several times today, saying that the dragon body in Odin Square has become a new attraction for students to visit and take photos, and some have even stopped going to class."

What seemed like an unrelated remark was actually a signal from Angers to Cao Han: the dragon body should be dealt with.

In Cao Han's opinion, those riddle-makers who can't speak their minds and prefer to use all sorts of cryptic language deserve to be hanged a hundred times over; such behavior is simply disgusting and a waste of time.

“Principal, if you want that dragon body, you can just say so. Going around in circles isn’t my style.”

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll get straight to the point."

To be honest, Angers didn't want to keep dawdling like this either. For someone who possesses the Word of Power: Time Zero, wasting time is the most intolerable thing.

Because one second for them is equivalent to 2000-3000 seconds for an average person, which would be a huge waste!

"The academy does indeed need this dragon body. You can make your requests directly."

"Norma's second-level access privileges!"

The standard answer was already in Cao Han's mind, and it almost came out off the cuff.

His tone was filled with an undeniable firmness; apart from this, none of the other options were even considered by Cao Han.

Angers was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected the young man before him to be so decisive and resolute. "Aren't you curious about how we'll handle this dragon's body?"

Faced with this question, Cao Han revealed a playful smile and instantly took the initiative, asking in return, "Then will the principal be curious about what I'll do with Norma's second-level access?"

"will not."

"I won't either."

The room was quiet for about two or three seconds, then Angers burst into hearty laughter.

Chapter 62 Summer Mourning

If the requirement is merely "second-level" Norma access...

Angers was able to agree on his own initiative without needing a vote from the board of directors.

The fact that the second-generation dragon body could not be kept secret from those who were interested.

Ambitious school board members might be wary of his previous remarks, but they certainly won't stop moving forward.

Sending someone to contact Cao Han was inevitable sooner or later; whether they would choose to win him over or suppress him remained to be seen.

There needs to be a sense of boundaries between people!

Just as Cao Han said, he did not inquire about the academy's use of the dragon's body, and similarly, the academy would not inquire about his use of Norma.

“No problem.” Angers readily agreed to Cao Han’s request.

"The principal is very agreeable!"

People who are straightforward naturally prefer to deal with other straightforward people.

The fact that business was going so smoothly brought them both a genuine sense of joy, and then it was time to return to the simplest of afternoon tea time with the principal.

Before this.

Cao Han had previously exchanged experiences with Chu Tianjiao, who was also a Word Spirit, Shi Ling.

After a brief conversation, he could clearly sense that years of living in anonymity had made the other person slightly more distant.

To put it bluntly, the time flow manipulation multiplier under the zero-time domain was not as good as Cao Han's at that time.

With his seemingly bottomless stamina, he was able to dedicate a significant amount of time and energy each day to improving his proficiency in using Word of Power.

The saying "A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days of separation" is probably insufficient to describe the speed of Cao Han's advancement.

In Chu Tianjiao's own words, "Among Time Zero users, Angers is absolutely unparalleled!"

Moreover, Angers also has the title of "the strongest in Kassel College".

Cao Han was naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity for "exchange" that was so close at hand.

The next second, his gentle and harmless eyes turned deep and sharp, staring straight at Angers in front of him, his gaze carrying a hint of provocation.

"Everyone says that Principal Angers, you're the strongest at Kassel College. I'd like to see for myself!"

"No thanks, my old bones can't take the tossing and turning of you young people."

However, to everyone's surprise, Angers surprisingly chose to concede when faced with Cao Han's direct request for communication.

Cao Han probably didn't realize that Angers knew his background very well.

For example, Chu Tianjiao's investigation report contained a detailed description of their shared experience as users of Time Zero.

Adding to the fact that when Angers wanted to show off his skills to the students, he was shocked to find that even without using Time Zero, Cao Han's powerful physique alone could capture his every move in the Time Zero domain.

The shrewd and experienced Angers was very confident in his judgment on this point.

Although the three, including Vice Principal Nicolas Flamel and von Schneider, reached the same conclusion after some discussion regarding Cao Han's admission to Kassel College, it does not mean that they should lower their guard against him.

A blank space and a life trajectory and identity information full of question marks.

He also possessed a terrifying, monstrous power that rendered Odin utterly helpless in the Nibelungen.

Odin has most likely already devoured Li Wuyue, one of the twin kings of the sky and wind who controls the "force" aspect, and thus only by completely mastering all authority can he gain the ability to manipulate time.

Such a hybrid race should not exist. If the school board knew about this, Cao Han should be in the Abyss Prison managed by the Secret Party, serving a life sentence.

In Angers' long memory, a similar situation occurred to a man from a small island nation in the East.

That guy tried to assassinate him back then, relying on his thick skin and tough flesh, but in the end he got beaten to a pulp.

Although there is only one word difference between "defeat" and "kill," the difference in strength required is as huge as an insurmountable chasm.

Hidden beneath their human appearance lies astonishing power; in terms of sheer physical strength, they are like a tank in human skin, rampaging and crashing through everything in their path!

What's most infuriating is that the dragon bloodline is stable and controllable, and the dragons themselves are even frighteningly self-disciplined, resolutely refusing even the beautiful women offered to them by their families for breeding.

If it had been the vice-principal facing this test, he might already have a large family by now, instead of only having one son, Gerd Rudolf Manstein.

"I wonder where that guy is hiding and having a good time now."

As people age, they inevitably fall into a state of reminiscing about the past, and Angers, who is already 130 years old, is no exception.

Although he looks somewhat like a muscular version of Colonel Sanders, he is also the kind of "mature uncle" that young girls are most interested in.

This damn sense of security is practically overflowing!

It would be a lie to say Cao Han wasn't disappointed that he didn't get to experience the power of the "Cambridge Folding Knife" firsthand!

Once the important business was over, and they couldn't get down to business, and frankly, he didn't appreciate the afternoon tea either, they could only start by asking questions that were more interesting to them:

"Principal, have you ever lost?"

Lose...?!

The word instantly brought back some unforgettable images to Angers' mind. In his seemingly calm eyes, there was a deep and unyielding sorrow, and a burning hatred.

Summer Mourning, a term that cannot even be mentioned by the Secret Party.

Those familiar with Angers wouldn't ask such a question, and those unfamiliar with them would be even less likely to ask it. Yet Cao Hanming knowingly walked into danger.

Angers looked directly into Cao Han's eyes. "Well then, let's start from the beginning of that story. For many years, I've always wanted to tell that story... but there have been very few suitable listeners."

“I believe I am the right listener.” Cao Han took a deep breath, ready to listen to the other person tell a long story.

He was perceptive enough to notice that just a moment ago, the principal's pupils changed, as if dark, iron-black clouds had gathered in the sky.

"A full hundred years have passed, yet I still cannot forget that night, that...day of mourning!"

"My goodness~ I almost forgot you're a 130-year-old monster if you hadn't reminded me!"

However, Cao Han only muttered these words to himself. The curtain of the story was raised, and the clouds in the principal's eyes began to collapse from this moment on, with heavy rain pouring down.

"..."

"Lost!"

“I lost, we all lost, utterly defeated, almost lost everything, except for that man, who won in my heart.”

"Who won?" At this moment, Cao Han's eyes burned with the flame of gossip.

"Meineke Cassel."

"That Kassel from Kassel College?"
