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

Chapter 19 Growth of Supernatural Powers

Now, the progress of his supernatural powers is becoming increasingly slow. Lu Mingfei can sense that every branch of the 'World Tree' is nurturing something, but precisely at this time when he is most lacking in nutrition, he can do nothing.

His magical power had a limited effect on the growth of his supernatural abilities; he could sense that what was needed for the growth of his supernatural abilities was precisely that extremely small amount of the fifth element.

Since Kassel College prides itself on being a college of mixed blood, it should have some collections of this kind of thing.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself, "An academy that can afford to run such an institution must have something. Even if the academy itself doesn't have anything, it must have at least a bunch of so-called alchemy masters. If there are alchemists, there must be materials. There must be some stock of things like the Philosopher's Stone."

Then his goal became clear.

Secretly infiltrate Kassel College and then find an opportunity to obtain the Philosopher's Stone!

After all, you can't exactly tell him that there isn't a single Philosopher's Stone in the entire academy, can you?

"No need for that. I'd like to know if your academy is still recruiting?"

"You want to go?" Chu Zihang asked with some surprise. He knew all too well what kind of place Kassel College was. No wonder that man had told him not to learn about Kassel College before he died. Thinking of all the things about the college, Chu Zihang began to dissuade him.

"That academy is full of lunatics, you probably won't like it there," Chu Zihang said carefully, choosing his words.

A madman? Lu Mingfei wasn't afraid of so-called madmen. Could a madman be as mad as a Nirvana Corpse? He had personally witnessed how a Nirvana Corpse transformed from a seeker of the Dharma killed people, and how it was hunted down by Jiang Mingzi.

"That's exactly the kind of madman we're looking for! Senior brother, you don't understand. Ever since I heard you talk about bloodlines, I feel like I've stepped into a new world. With bloodlines that are different from ordinary people, it's normal for one's mind to be abnormal."

"If this is what you mean," Chu Zihang said, looking at Lu Mingfei to make sure he wasn't joking.

He nodded heavily.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Kassel College's official admissions begin in June each year. If you'd like, I can try to contact my advisor now to get you admitted."

He has some experience with early enrollment.

After all, he didn't get into Kassel College through normal channels; he went there himself, and the person who met him was none other than his current mentor, Professor Schneider.

The professor treated him fairly well.

If Lu Mingfei needed it, Chu Zihang wouldn't mind acting as a go-between and providing a bridge between the two. However, Chu Zihang also had his own concerns. Schneider was not only a tenured professor at the academy, but he also controlled the executive department, which comprised the majority of the academy's core personnel.

If Lu Mingfei wants to recruit students through this route... Chu Zihang could imagine that there would be no shortage of scrutiny.

Seeing that Chu Zihang seemed to be thinking about something, Lu Mingfei waved his hand to decline.

"There's no need to rush. Just go in through the normal channels."

"Okay, I'll find a chance to look into the enrollment plan."

Chu Zihang started the car, expressing his approval of Lu Mingfei's choice.

It wasn't that Lu Mingfei didn't want to enter Kassel ahead of time, but he had the same concerns as Chu Zihang.

Anyone with a brain knows that if he were to try to join that so-called Kassel College through unconventional means, not only would he risk failing, but he would also face intense scrutiny regarding his background.

Even if Chu Zihang wanted to help him cover it up, it would be to no avail. Putting aside his senior brother's influence, the fact that he couldn't control his Golden Eyes was a fatal flaw.

Not to mention he doesn't even have that so-called "word power," he's completely clueless when asked and clueless when investigated.

He can't very well pull out the talisman he's made, point to something that's clearly from Chinese Taoism, and claim it's the power of the dragon's words, can he?

Being treated as a lunatic is one thing, but being arrested and studied is a much bigger problem.

He needed to find a way before the admissions process began in Kassel. There was still some time before the official admissions, which gave Lu Mingfei the perfect opportunity.

It's just a matter of words of power, right? Once his time travel cooldown is over, everything will be fine. That bastard Jiang Mingzi will definitely have a way.

Unfortunately, according to Lu Mingfei's perception, the flames would probably accumulate in another ten days to half a month.

"If only time could be controlled, then he wouldn't have to think about this for so long..."

Before Lu Mingfei could finish his sigh, this idea acted like a fuse, causing his magical power to surge, along with an indescribable feeling, which flowed into the budding supernatural power within his body.

Lu Mingfei was startled, but after he came to his senses, he was overjoyed.

He knew what it was.

Supernatural powers are growing!

Only supernatural powers themselves can cause magical power to become uncontrollable, because supernatural powers are born from the soul of the seeker of the power.

Rather than saying that the magic was out of control, it was more of an instinctive reaction.

In his perception, a branch of the World Tree within his body immediately swelled up, as if it had borne fruit.

Immediately, Lu Mingfei felt a familiar sense of stagnation, and then his magical power spread out from the center of his body into a domain that he couldn't even describe.

The supernatural power activated on its own!

Before Lu Mingfei could even express his surprise, he wanted to retract his ability. He had no idea what the effect of this supernatural power was. If it was normal, that would be fine, but if it was a destructive supernatural power...

He's still sitting in the car with Chu Zihang! He doesn't want to get blown up.

"Senior Brother Chu...?"

But when he tried to remind Chu Zihang, his gaze and words froze.

In his vision, everything around him seemed to slow down, as if a movie had been forcibly slowed down by 0.5 times.

Their gazes then shifted to Chu Zihang, who was looking in Lu Mingfei's direction with his mouth open as if he wanted to say something.

"Time has been slowed down?"

Looking at everything before him, Lu Mingfei suddenly realized what his ability was: time slowing down!

He can slow down time around him, but his own movements are not affected!

Before he could properly appreciate it all...

The next moment, as if he had run out of steam, the domain surrounding him vanished instantly, and time returned to normal.

"Me?"

Lu Mingfei was a little out of breath. Activating the supernatural power not only consumed his magic power, but also put a burden on his body.

He didn't feel it when he started, but as soon as he came out of that state, a slight soreness surged up from all over his body.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Chu Zihang also turned his head, golden light shining under his colored contact lenses, and looked at Lu Mingfei, who was sweating on his forehead as if he had just finished exercising, and asked in confusion.

"Is there something?"

No, no.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that nothing had happened.

Clearly, even Chu Zihang was unaware of what had happened during that almost frozen moment.

Since that's the case, Lu Mingfei decided to keep it a secret for now.

It wasn't that he didn't trust the other party, but he hadn't yet figured out the specifics of this ability, so it was better to be cautious.

What if there are any side effects?

What if using it too much turns you into a muscular, blond vampire?

Lu Mingfei decided to experiment first.

"So, senior brother, where are we headed?"

Lu Mingfei asked a question. He looked out the window and saw that the old bungalows had disappeared, replaced by rows of detached villas. This was the wealthy area of ​​the small town!

Normally, Lu Mingfei wouldn't come to a place like this. There's probably only one reason why Chu Zihang brought him here.

"Your new place."

Chu Zihang's words confirmed Lu Mingfei's imagination. He stretched his head out and saw four gilded characters carved on a huge rock.

California sunshine.
