"No-
'
"We made a mistake! We miscalculated!"
On the Moniach, Mans Rundstedt, who had been beaming with pride and excitement and even breaking into a cha-cha, was suddenly jolted awake by a bolt of lightning, his face turning deathly pale.
"They had enough oxygen to escape Bronze City, but not enough to surface! We miscalculated!"
He held one hand across his eyes, staring intently at the hands of his watch, while his other hand gripped his hair tightly, praying for a miracle.
One minute —
Two minutes —
Three minutes —
As time ticked by, Mans's face grew paler and paler, and the pain in his eyes intensified.
Just as he was about to order a retreat and return to port, a strange noise suddenly came from the stern of the ship.
He was suddenly jolted awake and immediately shone his flashlight over, discovering two pale faces with their eyes closed next to the lifeboat on the side of the ship!
"Ye Sheng! Aki!" Mans staggered forward, shouting, "Help! Help him!"
The other crew members heard the noise and immediately ran over to help, pulling the two unconscious men onto the deck.
After some first aid, Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji choked on some water and regained their breathing, slowly waking up.
"Professor—jar—jar—" Aki asked instinctively as soon as she regained consciousness, her voice hoarse.
At that moment, Professor Mance knelt beside her, tears welling in his eyes: "That doesn't matter, it's good that he's back, it's good that he's back!"
"Drop anchor! Start the engines and get out of here immediately!" The third mate shouted almost immediately after Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya were pulled onto the deck.
As the most senior crew member present, he could clearly judge what was happening underwater by observing the situation on the surface.
At that moment, looking at the waves that completely defied the laws of nature, his face was extremely gloomy, and he immediately gave the order without the slightest hesitation.
With both anchor chains cut simultaneously, the powerful, specially modified engines on the Moniach started instantly without needing to warm up, propelling the entire ship at top speed.
However, just a few hundred meters away from their original location, the third mate's expression suddenly turned strange again.
Because the danger he imagined did not actually occur, the water gradually returned to normal and became calm again.
"What—what's going on?" Cold sweat dripped down the Third Deputy's face.
He was certain that he hadn't misjudged the situation; the ripples on the river surface earlier could only have been caused by a massive creature surging up from underwater.
But now, that fluctuation has vanished without a trace.
It's possible that the giant creature, which originally intended to charge forward, abandoned its original plan, but this possibility is extremely low.
Another possibility is that the terrifying behemoth that was originally rushing straight to the surface of the water was dealt with by an even more terrifying being!
If that's the case, then—what would it be?
river bottom.
Amidst the turbulent waves, Li Yuan remained as immovable as a giant mountain, yet also blended into the surroundings and drifted with the current as if salt had been added to the water.
No matter how turbulent the heavy river waters around him were, he remained quietly "standing" there without moving, his eyes gleaming with intense golden light.
Before him stood a ferocious dragon with its jaws wide open, as if it were about to bite his body off at any moment.
But the truth is, the dragon's once brilliant eyes have lost all their luster.
Its body is still alive, but its soul has been completely annihilated.
Just moments ago, Li Yuan used his Shikai Zanpakuto, "Amaterasu," to annihilate its soul in a single strike.
This is actually the most orthodox method for hybrids in this world to eliminate pure-blooded dragons, from ancient times to the present.
However, they cannot achieve this result by relying solely on themselves like Li Yuan; instead, they need the Philosopher's Stone, which is formed from spiritual elements, to accomplish it.
Looking at the dragon servant whose soul had already vanished, Li Yuan slowly reached out and placed his hand on its brow: "Now, you can eat it—"
A terrifying suction force suddenly erupted from his palm, instantly refining the dragon servant completely.
The next moment, the golden light in his eyes suddenly became even brighter.
Slowly lowering his head to look at the brass jar in his hand, the golden light in Li Yuan's eyes flickered like flames.
His gaze seemed to pierce through the barrier of the outer wall and see Constantine, who was still sleeping inside.
"The appetizers are finished, it's time for the main course—"
Before the words were even finished, the brass pot vanished in an instant, like snowflakes falling on a flame, leaving only the "egg" inside.
The next moment, the devouring began!
Li Yuan held Constantine, who was gradually waking up after being removed from the bone flask, in his arms, and his whole being radiated an incomparably brilliant light from the inside out.
On a spiritual level, Li Yuan once again drew his Zanpakuto.
What appeared before him at that moment was a giant golden dragon engulfed in flames.
Compared to the previous dragon servant, it was like candlelight compared to the sun, or firefly compared to the moon—completely incomparable.
Now, the dragon, which was originally sleeping, has slowly opened its majestic dragon eyes, radiating unparalleled pressure.
"Thanks to the enhancements from the Bleach world, otherwise we might have really messed up —"
With a slight chuckle to himself, Li Yuan charged forward, sword in hand, amidst Constantine's furious dragon roar!
After an unknown amount of time, the light that had illuminated almost the entire bronze city slowly receded, revealing Li Yuan's figure.
At this moment, his pupils shone with a noble and majestic pure golden light, like two miniature suns.
Constantine, who had been in his arms, had completely disappeared.
"Bronze and fire—this is the power of bronze and fire—"
At first glance, Li Yuan seems no different from before.
But in reality, he has undergone earth-shattering changes, both in appearance and substance, in body and soul!
His level of life is now worlds apart from what it was before!
Meanwhile, in a cheap apartment in New York.
A man who looked somewhat颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless or颓废) but had a cheerful appearance sat in front of a computer, drinking cola and happily playing StarCraft.
But suddenly, his movements froze.
A brilliant golden light suddenly flashed in those brown eyes that were originally no different from those of Asians.
An overwhelming sadness, seemingly from nowhere, enveloped him for no apparent reason.
The man stared with unfocused eyes, his hand unconsciously pressed against his heart, where the pain felt as if it were being torn apart.
Suddenly, a series of images flashed through his mind.
That was the daily life shared by two figures, one tall and one short, dressed in white.
"Brother, there are many people outside," said the short, boyish figure in white.
The adult-like figure in white smiled nonchalantly: "Perhaps I will die? But, Constantine, do not be afraid."
The boy shook his head: "I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid when I'm with my brother. But why—why don't you eat me? If you eat me, my brother can break through any cage."
The adult man reached out and patted his head: "You are good food, but that would be too lonely. For thousands of years, it has only been you and me."
"But death is really sad, like being sealed in a black box, never able to touch anything again—" The boy lowered his head, a hint of fear on his face.
The adult man's eyes were resolute: "The so-called fate of the abandoned tribe is to cross the wasteland, raise the battle flag again, and return to our homeland. Death is not frightening; it is merely a long slumber, and we will eventually awaken."
"Brother—when you raise the battle flag and devour the world, will you eat me?" The boy looked up, his eyes full of hope.
"Yes, then you will rule the world with me!" The adult man nodded solemnly.
"younger brother!"
The man suddenly knelt on the ground, desperately tearing at his hair, his expression contorted, screaming silently.
He remembered! He remembered everything!
"ah-"
"Constantine"
'
The man looked up at the sky and roared; the sound was so angry, so sad, and so lonely.
underwater.
Li Yuan turned his head and looked at the bronze city next to him, which was as large as a mountain.
At this moment, in his eyes, this city cast in bronze held no secrets whatsoever.
He doesn't even need to look to know accurately what each component does, how each mechanism is turned on and off, and where each passage leads.
With a flash, just as he approached the bronze wall, a huge passage suddenly appeared on the wall, as if welcoming his arrival.
Inside the Bronze City, no matter what the original structure or mechanisms were, wherever Li Yuan went, they all turned into wide, unobstructed passageways.
After many twists and turns, he arrived at a huge hall.
A huge black dragon lay in the hall, its head covered by an ancient iron mask.
Sensing Li Yuan's arrival, it suddenly opened its eerie dragon eyes.
However, just as it was about to flap its wings and roar, Li Yuan casually flicked out a spark of fire, which landed on its body.
Instantly, the fire raged and completely engulfed the ferocious black dragon.
The next moment, Li Yuan opened his mouth and gently inhaled, and the raging flames immediately transformed into the size of a pill and flew into his mouth.
He swallowed it whole and refined it instantly!
"Samson the Dragon Servant—it's better than nothing, I suppose—"
After sharing his thoughts, Li Yuan flashed out of the main hall and headed straight for another secret location.
The place was originally set up with complex mechanisms, but in front of Li Yuan, they were all useless.
He entered the secret place with ease, and with a simple flick of his wrist, a rectangular metal box flew to him.
With a gentle touch, the mechanisms inside the box slid out with a clear, melodious sound, spreading out in a fan shape.
Within the exquisite metal structure, seven swords of different shapes stand quietly.
Each of the swords and blades in the collection has a counterpart in modern society, making them seem nothing like ancient artifacts that have been sealed away in this bronze city for over two thousand years.
A golden light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Eight-sided Han sword, Tang sword, horse-slaying sword, samurai sword, Kramer longsword, Atkan longsword, wakizashi—"
"That's right, this is the Seven Deadly Sins, created by the Dragon King Norton himself!"
The surfaces of these swords are adorned with intricate patterns, with ice threads, pine needles, flames, flowing clouds, and other designs appearing on the dark gold blades.
Li Yuan gently brushed his hand over the seven swords, and they, which had been lying quietly in the box, suddenly "woke up"!
Every sword trembled, emitting a metallic hum, as if it were not an inanimate object, but a living thing with a heart.
Originally, they were just quietly dormant, but now, their hearts have started beating again!
Li Yuan's hand swept across the surface again, and as if by magic, it calmed the swords and blades, causing them to return to their metal cases.
Stroking the intricate patterns on the box, he thought for a moment, then vanished in a flash.
Kassel College, Principal's Office.
Hilbert Jean Angers sat behind his desk, the warm, bright sunlight streaming in from the window, illuminating the entire office, but not the shadows on his face.
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya, the two executive officers who had gone deep into the Bronze City, sat upright in their chairs in front of their desks with serious expressions, reporting in detail everything they had seen and heard at the time.
"With the escape route provided by the key, Aki and I swam downstream, and along the way we happened to come across a brass pot—"
"After escaping the Bronze City, we were running low on oxygen. Just as we were trying to surface, an undercurrent struck, and we passed out."
"When Professor Mans and the others rescued us, we realized we had actually come up from underwater, except that the brass pot we had been carrying on our backs was gone—"
After listening quietly to their reports, Angla nodded slightly: "You've worked hard. Go and rest for a bit, and then submit the detailed mission report."
"Yes, Principal."
After Ye Sheng and Jiu Demai left, Angers turned his chair and looked out the window, his eyes deep, lost in thought.
A moment later, a boy wearing a dark green school uniform walked into the office.
The seriousness on Angers' face vanished instantly, replaced by a warm smile: "Mingfei, welcome! Would you like some tea?"
He took out some of the world's finest tea leaves from a nearby shelf, brewed a pot of fragrant black tea, poured a cup for Lu Mingfei, and then poured one for himself.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's flustered state, Angers picked up his teacup, took a sip, and smiled gently: "Don't be nervous. I mainly wanted to thank you today."
"Thank you for deciphering the map of Bronze City in time, which saved the lives of our two executive officers."
Lu Mingfei scratched his head awkwardly: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I didn't do anything."
Angers' eyes were full of admiration as he nodded slightly: "I have good news for you. The results of the 3E exam are in, and your score is the highest in ten years."
"You've maintained your S-rank status, so I'm awarding you the Principal's Scholarship."
