Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

"Do you have blood?" it asked.

“Yes.” Su Enxi nodded. “My Word of Power is Tianyan, Jiude Mai’s Word of Power is Mingzhao, and Ling’s Word of Power is Jingtong.”

"That ability is called Word Power? That's quite fitting." The system nodded, making no attempt to hide its ignorance of bloodlines. Whether it truly knew or was pretending to know was easy to tell.

The system appeared calm on the surface, but Lu Mingfei could see that it was frantically analyzing the situation behind the scenes, with the system analysis logs constantly being refreshed.

Who is the other party's boss?

What do you want with him?

Word spirit?

What is the organization behind the other party?

Chapter 31 Never mind, let's just get it for free first.

"System, these three women are acting strangely. I'm afraid I'll be sold out and then have to count the money for them."

Lu Mingfei was not swayed by the beauty of mature women, long legs, or delicate lolis. Instead, he pondered and shared his thoughts with the system.

The system remained completely unfazed, stating bluntly: "[...The host is currently 'penniless'...]"

If we were to use his own novel as an analogy, it would be that Lu Mingfei, a novice cultivator, has just started cultivating and joined a sect. Not to mention being able to do anything for the sect, he also needs to absorb some of the sect's blood in order to grow.

Whatever these three women and their boss have their eye on Lu Mingfei, since they're not directly after his life, the system can slowly find ways to extract some benefits from them.

Raising a pig for the New Year requires fattening it up first. And once the pig is fattened up... Lu Mingfei has hands and feet, surely he won't starve to death if he runs away?

Lu Mingfei and the system kept communicating, and the system kept trying to gather information.

"His bloodline comes from dragon blood?"

"People with bloodlines are more accurately called hybrids, which means they have dragon blood..." Su Enxi diligently tutored Lu Mingfei. Some things were hard to understand if she said them aloud, so she took out paper and pen and sat down next to him to write them down.

Although Su Enxi looked professional in her secretary's suit, she seemed a little too professional, with the top two buttons undone, creating a high V-neck.

When she bent over to write, if Lu Mingfei were to glance at her from his perspective, he might be able to see something delicate and white...

When Mai realized this, she cursed the little beaker inwardly. He always looked so proper and dignified, but he was worse than her... Then she discovered something terrifying.

Previously, because Xia Mi, the Queen of the Earth and Mountains, was by Lu Mingfei's side, they had no opportunity to get close to each other.

Lu Mingfei was completely focused on asking about the mixed-race people, and he didn't even glance at the flaws that Su Enxi deliberately revealed, let alone the leggy beauty, Zero, or the doll-like figure.

Her expression remained unchanged, her tone unchanging, and her eyes utterly oblivious to everything else. If it weren't for the fleeting thoughtful look in her eyes, one might have wondered if they were glass beads...

Living like an emotionless robot.

Jiude Mai couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Why does Lu Mingfei seem to have some kind of strange aura about him..."

"How does the Word of Power of a hybrid race operate?" the system asked, inquiring about the workings of the Word of Power.

"To give an analogy: elements are like iron ore mined by humans, the bloodline of a hybrid is like a machine, and the power of words is what the hybrid uses the machine of bloodline to process and create..." Su Enxi explained the basic elements of the power of words to it.

The system remained silent for a moment, not because it had no questions, but because, based on analysis, it knew that asking its questions would easily affect unity.

Lu Mingfei was also bewildered. He suspected that his possession of Word Power was thanks to the system; after all, the system had broken down the dimensional barrier, so it was normal for it to possess other abilities as well. He asked the system, "System, have we bypassed the limitations of bloodlines? How does your Word Power work?"

As far as the system knows, Lu Mingfei does not possess a bloodline. Because when a hybrid with a bloodline can activate the power of words, it proves that their bloodline has awakened.

Only by activating the bloodline processing machine can one release the power of words.

However, the awakening of bloodline will inevitably bring unparalleled enhancement to the human body. Don't be fooled by Su Enxi's gentle and weak appearance; she is not a combat-oriented person.

But if it really came down to a fight, this weak woman fighting an ordinary person would be like Tyson fighting an ordinary person. One punch and she would have to kneel on the ground begging the ordinary person not to die.

Lu Mingfei, the guy who possesses two Word Spirits, is just an ordinary person.

This involves another issue: normal hybrids only possess one Word of Power because of the amount of dragon blood in their bodies; they can only possess one processing machine.

But now, Lu Mingfei, an ordinary person, has two processing machines inside his body.

The system was momentarily unsure what to ask or where to begin its analysis. After silently searching for a clue, it replied to Lu Mingfei's question: "[...Physical attributes haven't shown a significant improvement. Currently, the host is merely an ordinary person possessing two Word Spirits. Activating these Word Spirits is like a person waving their arm; no special activation is required...]"

After Su Enxi finished speaking, she saw that Lu Mingfei was thinking with his head down, so she didn't disturb him and quietly picked up her teacup to take a sip.

After a long while, the system looked up and asked her, "Can you show me your Word of Power?"

Never mind, let's just get the Word of Power for free first.

If you don't understand it, but it doesn't seem to be harmful at the moment, then don't rush into it. The most important thing is to get the tangible benefits in your hands.

Su Enxi, Ling, and Jiu De Mai exchanged a quick glance.

Is Lu Mingfei trying to learn their Word of Power?

But they had no reason to refuse. They also wanted to know how Lu Mingfei learned other people's Word of Power, which was even an important part of their plan to appear.

Lu Mingfei was supposed to be 18 when he entered Kassel College to learn about the dragons, but he started at the age of 16. Well, so be it. There are so many unexpected things in the world; this doesn't really affect the boss's plans, and the boss probably won't even give it a second glance.

However, Lu Mingfei unleashed his Word of Power! This immediately alarmed the boss.

Hybrid modification? Or...

The boss rushed over to see what was going on, but found nothing. Lu Mingfei was still an ordinary person, only his body was normal.

From all perspectives, Lu Mingfei is no longer a normal person.

Which normal person can unleash the power of words without the aid of bloodline, relying solely on mental strength like Xia Mi did? But he's the Dragon King, and Lu Mingfei's release of the power of words didn't even involve strong mental fluctuations...

Mai first released her Word of Power, and after a series of dragon script chants, she entered an invisible state and vanished from the room as if she had just come back to life.

The system thought the invisibility ability was amazing! Its uses were simply too great! Whether it was for gathering intelligence or... the scenarios for its use were endless; it was a powerful auxiliary ability! It immediately recorded the incantation and began to decipher it.

[…New Dragon Script is being connected, being parsed, and…]

It didn't reach out to see where the wine-loving Mai was hiding to see if she was invisible or just ethereal; it had a mouth.

The system asked, "Is this 'Nether Illumination' the kind of optical invisibility or the kind of blurring effect?"

Su Enxi knew what he was concerned about. She was also afraid that Lu Mingfei would become reckless and do something after learning the Netherworld Invisibility spell… She immediately and clearly answered the question about the spell's effect: “The Netherworld Invisibility spell is purely an optical invisibility effect. Its bloodline is extremely superior, allowing it to achieve complete invisibility. If a mixed-race person with a less superior bloodline were to cast it, it would leave behind a faint wisp of blue smoke and black mist. In ancient times, it could be countered by dogs, and in modern times, it can be countered by thermal imaging.”

"Is that so?"

The system was somewhat disappointed, as this would greatly reduce the effectiveness of the ability.

"But if the domain is expanded, multiple people can become invisible together."

Su Enxi suddenly disappeared without a trace, only her voice still echoed from the same spot.

Chapter 32 Living Under the Same Roof

Mai Shude removed the Meishou, and the two reappeared in the hotel living room.

When Su Enxi began her performance, she did not immediately begin reciting the dragon script. Instead, she explained the special nature of the Heavenly Evolution Word to Lu Mingfei.

“Celestial Evolution is different from physical interference-type Words of Power like Long-Legged Nether Illumination. Its effect exists only on me personally. With the blessing of Celestial Evolution, a large data model can be constructed, and the things I want to analyze, such as numbers, can be put into it for high-speed analysis. And this kind of Word of Power, which is cast on the body, does not require the involvement of external elements for those with superior bloodlines. It can skip the dragon script chanting process and start directly…”

When the system heard about the large data model, its gaze sharpened, and Lu Mingfei was also taken aback.

Humans began researching artificial intelligence in the 1950s, and the term "data model" was coined in the 1980s. Although it was their first time encountering the term, Lu Mingfei and the system could roughly understand its meaning.

The main focus is on the system's operation itself, which is similar to a large data model. It also analyzes the data that Lu Mingfei possesses...

Is there any connection between this Word of Power and the emergence of the system? Can learning this Word of Power accelerate the system's analysis?

There's also the issue of those with superior bloodlines. Su Enxi's "Heavenly Evolution" can be activated directly without chanting dragon script, and Lu Mingfei's previously mastered "Emperor" also activates without chanting, starting at zero frames. Does this mean...?

Su Enxi, unaware of Lu Mingfei's situation, began reciting the dragon script.

[…New Dragon Script is being connected, being parsed, and…]

The system immediately received the incantation and began deciphering it.

However, the system panel is a bit cluttered right now, with too many analyses running at the same time. Analyses of various different problems are popping up all at once. One second, it's analyzing the speculation about the Word Spirit Emperor, and the next second, it jumps to the next stage of analysis for another problem.

"System, can you handle this?" Lu Mingfei asked with some concern, worried that the system might crash like it did last time.

[...computing power is within a sufficient threshold...]

The system's response relieved Lu Mingfei.

After Su Enxi finished her performance, the score reached zero.

Su Enxi continued to provide the main commentary for Lu Mingfei: "Zero's Mirror Eye, like my Heavenly Evolution, is a kind of Word of Power that enhances oneself. The Mirror Eye itself only comes with one ability, which is replication, just like a mirror completely copies the things in front of it..."

Lu Mingfei immediately came up with an idea: to use the Mirror Eye to cast spells twice!

Words of power can only be cast once, this applies to hybrids and also to Lu Mingfei, this abnormal human. Although it can run two lines simultaneously, running "Emperor" and "Monarch's Flame" at the same time, it is impossible to cast two "Monarch's Flames" at the same time for firepower coverage.

But what if we combine "Junyan" with "Junyan with Mirror Eyes"?

Combat power greatly enhanced!

"Can this mirror eye copy other people's words of power?" the system asked Su Enxi.

Copying someone else's handwriting is easy, but copying someone else's words of wisdom seems much more difficult; it's too overpowered.

“If it’s a mixed-race person with average bloodline, no way.” Su Enxi shook her head, but then immediately added, “But if the bloodline is exceptionally good, then yes, at least Zero would be fine.”

Zero, expressionless, recited the dragon script of Mirror Eyes, then began to replicate Mai Shude's Dark Illumination, and successfully replicated it, entering the same state of complete optical invisibility as Mai Shude.

He's very strong, but it seems to be very dependent on bloodline... Lu Mingfei's control over the "Emperor" incantation is comparable to that of someone with an excellent bloodline, but he can't do the same with "Monarch's Flame." When he uses it, it's slightly restricted; he can't cast it instantly, and he can't completely control it at will...

[...Perhaps it's related to the difficulty of using Words of Power...] This is the only analysis and speculation the system can offer.

But Lu Mingfei had another idea: "What if the 'emperor' role suits me better? Just like I'm not suited to wearing clothes that portray a male lead, but rather to delicate and fresh clothes."

"...It's not impossible..."

Simultaneously analyzing three incantations, the analysis log entered a high-frequency refresh state. Fortunately, the system has a thoughtful pinned communication feature, preventing its communication with Lu Mingfei from being completely wiped out by the refreshed analysis log.

In fact, when Jiu De Mai used the Netherworld Illumination technique, Zero was already staring intently at Lu Mingfei.

However, she couldn't discern anything. Lu Mingfei's eyes were calm and still, and he didn't exude any strange power or feeling to prove that he was secretly learning their Word of Power.

Fortunately, it wasn't up to the three henchmen to analyze this kind of thing; the boss was keeping a close eye on Lu Mingfei.

After gaining a general understanding of the world of hybrids and dragons, and having also obtained the three women's Word of Power for free, the system had essentially achieved more than half of its intended goal.

The system didn't ask any further questions, and Su Enxi and the others assumed that Lu Mingfei needed time to process the information he had received that night.

"Where will I stay tonight?" the system asked.
