Chapter 3051: Lu Mingfei: Bai Hu Zi? He

The Dragon Clan world.

Chu Zihang suddenly stopped walking, his expression grave, looking up at the sky.

"...... Did you sense something?"

Anselm also stopped, turning to gaze at Chu Zihang.

These days, he had noticed tremendous changes in Chu Zihang...... Though he did not know why, Chu Zihang's power had increased dramatically was an undeniable fact.

Anselm had confirmed through detection that Chu Zihang would not transform into a true dragon...... Then that was fine! As for Chu Zihang's increased power, Anselm said he did not care about that.

As long as Chu Zihang could become a force to slay dragons, the stronger his power became, the better! "I think we've found traces of the Infinite Serpent."

Chu Zihang's voice carried a hint of hoarseness.

"...... Are you certain?"

Caesar, standing beside them, his golden hair like flame, suddenly turned his head, fixing his gaze on Chu Zihang.

Undeniably, Chu Zihang's recent surge in power had placed immense pressure on him.

In the past, Chu Zihang often clashed with him, but now Chu Zihang had stepped back, choosing to let the Vice President of the Lionheart Society face him instead.

It wasn't retreat...... Caesar felt that Chu Zihang no longer paid attention to him at all.

The current Chu Zihang merely sought out Dragon Clan intelligence on his own, then killed those...... Dragons and Death Servants.

It was as if...... Chu Zihang and Caesar were no longer on the same level, so there was no need to pay attention...... This act undoubtedly pierced Caesar's pride.

"Here it goes again, here it goes again."

Lu Mingfei muttered under his breath.

He appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was terrified.

He, Lu Mingfei, was just a waste! Why the hell had he somehow ended up in this elite team? Never mind Principal Anselm—Chu Zihang and Caesar were both top-tier students of this generation at Cassell.

Though everyone called Lu Mingfei a Grade-A student, Lu Mingfei thought and thought, and concluded that aside from that... mysteriously appearing younger brother of his, he was just a loser.

Chu Zihang remained silent, golden flames burning in his pupils.

The sword Murasame suddenly drew.

A scorching blade of light erupted, severing all things.

He had mastered Armament Haki to perfection, and his mastery of the One Piece sword style was no less profound.

Countless hours of training in the Time Training Room, combined with system enhancements, had brought his skill in this art to a level not far behind the original series' greatest swordsman, Dracule Mihawk.

"Roar!"

A piercing Dragon Cry rang out; the blade's light sliced through the heavens, revealing the towering, head-to-tail form of the Infinite Serpent.

The blazing blade struck the serpent's body, carving a shallow gash, from which a single drop of blood dripped—then the wound sealed instantly.

"...... Damn!"

Anselm's pupils contracted.

In an instant, his scalp prickled; he immediately drew his Damascus folding knife and activated the Spell: Time Zero.

The Infinite Serpent's body trembled slightly; from the center of that void, massive waves radiated outward, cracking the air with countless fissures.

The vibration waves emanating from the void, upon touching anything—earth, or anything else—caused them to shatter instantly.

"Principal! Run!"

Chu Zihang's deep voice rang out; he appeared instantly before Anselm, his arms covered in pitch-black Armament Haki.

He gripped Murasame, holding it across his chest.

"What?"

Anselm's eyelid twitched; he stared at this student who had suddenly become so unfamiliar, his eyes flickering with shock and doubt, "Did you just ignore my...... Spell? What ability is this?"

"No...... the enemy's vibration waves! They also ignored my Time Zero!"

Suddenly realizing something, Anselm froze stiff.

Completely ignoring Spells... what...? Even the first-generation Dragon Kind could not possibly do this! What exactly is the enemy we're facing? With a sharp clang, Chu Zihang met the terrifying vibration waves—his arms trembled, blood oozing from his limbs and lips.

His expression remained unchanging; he stood there silently, blocking, like a statue untouched by pain.

"Gurara!"

A deep laugh suddenly sounded beside Chu Zihang, "Kid! Admirable willpower... but your strength still falls short."

A massive hand pressed down upon the void before them, and countless fissures appeared.

These fissures spread rapidly, even shattering the Infinite Serpent's vibration waves.

If the Infinite Serpent Uroboros's vibration waves cracked the void, then Bai Hu Zi's casual palm strike turned the entire expanse of void before them into dust, annihilating it into nothingness.

"Roar!"

Another piercing cry rang out—but this time, it carried panic.

The Infinite Serpent Uroboros sensed danger too late; half its body shattered, blood raining down like a storm.

Time Zero collapsed completely.

"...... What happened?"

Caesar stared blankly at the scene before him; in his memory, only a fleeting moment had passed, yet the void before him had vanished entirely into nothingness.

Moreover, the seemingly invincible enemy high above now lay grievously wounded.

"Wait, wait, wait! This is a joke, right?"

Lu Mingfei stared at Bai Hu Zi's towering figure, stunned; he rubbed his eyes, then scanned him again and again—once certain he wasn't imagining it, he shuddered violently and sat down hard on the ground.

Lu Mingfei's eyes flashed disbelief, horror, excitement, and countless other emotions; he stammered, "Bai... Bai Hu Zi? How is that possible!"

Though younger in appearance, this figure—this height! This familiar Gura Gura no Mi ability... it was undoubtedly Bai Hu Zi.

Lu Mingfei felt his mind spinning, as if trapped in a dream.

Though since joining Cassell Academy he had already realized the world was far more complex than it appeared... the appearance of a character from another dimension still shattered Lu Mingfei's worldview.
