Chapter 441 Critical Blood Line

The method of killing gods was not feasible, so Lu Mingfei found another way.

He thought of two directions, one was absorption and the other was sealing.

No matter what, Lu Mingfei is the Yama who frightened the martial arts community in Kyushu. His great reputation was gained by fighting through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. For such a guy, despite his usually gentle, approachable and easy-to-get-to attitude, In fact, he is still the ruthless person at heart.

For Lu Mingfei, when encountering difficulties or something, the first thought that pops into his mind is definitely not to avoid them, but to find ways to face them and overcome them.

Without a carrier like a bronze mask, he couldn't use the God-killing Technique. Although it was a pity, he settled for the next best thing. Lu Mingfei was thinking about whether he could use his inner demons to benefit himself.

If you want to say what the inner demon is, no one is more qualified to define it than Lu Mingfei, who cut out Yama. In his opinion, the inner demon is his other self, or the second god.

The most difficult thing to practice in Jiuzhou Kung Fu is the gods. If you can absorb inner demons and use them as nourishment, wouldn't it be a shortcut to achieve Waigang?

Lu Mingfei had an idea for this matter when he was in Kyushu.

Just the process of giving birth to inner demons has stumped so many people.

What's more, if a demon is born, how can this thing be easy to deal with?

Even if warriors are haunted by inner demons, most of them will not end up falling into the devil's path and falling into madness.

Coming to this world, although all hybrids have inner demons, they have solved the difficulties of birth, but if a person wants to defeat his own inner demons, how can he talk so easily?

To the warriors who practice hard in Kyushu, these inner demons are just savage beasts, not to mention those hybrids in this world whose great power is hidden in their blood and who become stronger through awakening.

Hybrids who want to take the path of absorbing inner demons, that is, absorbing dragon personality and using it as nourishment for their own growth and climbing higher mountains, must be people with extremely outstanding minds and a firm goal of becoming stronger.

And this kind of person, no matter what he does, no matter what environment he is in, he will definitely be able to accomplish something great.

Even in Kyushu, if you practice martial arts, your achievements will definitely not be low.

It is appropriate to say that people are dragons and phoenixes.

Similarly, if you are a dragon or a phoenix among people, you must be one of a hundred, and the number is extremely rare.

At least Lu Mingfei didn't see such a person on the Sonny.

Therefore, we can only choose the last way.

Three hundred and sixty-five silver needles were inserted into all the major points on the first mate's body.

They formed a special array, reflecting the stars in the sky, and threads of mysterious energy flowed around the first mate, as if under his skin, three hundred and sixty-five silver needles were connected by shining threads to form a network. .

·The first mate's golden eyes fluctuated violently.

The golden light in these eyes sometimes brightens and then dims.

He stared at Lu Mingfei bitterly.

Lu Mingfei was indifferent and just quietly observed the first mate's reaction, watching as his golden eyes changed from bright to dim, and finally completely extinguished, returning to their original black and white eyes.

The dragon personality was switched to a human personality.

The first mate that Uncle Iwata and Pepper are familiar with is back.

But he probably never thought that the first person he would see after regaining consciousness would be Lu Mingfei.

"you!"

His face was still blank as if he had just woken up, but after seeing Lu Mingfei, just for a moment, the first mate jumped up from the bed, and subconsciously touched his side with his right hand. Unexpectedly, he touched nothing, and the first mate's face He was stunned for a moment, but his years of combat experience helped him at the critical moment. The first mate quickly took the next step. The hand that had not obtained the gun turned into a knife and slashed towards Lu Mingfei's throat.

It's a long story, but it was a flash of lightning at the time, and the first mate didn't even need a second to complete this series of actions.

"This is really..."

Lu Mingfei's helpless voice.

The first mate's expression changed drastically.

When he realized something and wanted to pull his hand back, it was already too late.

The first mate was shocked to find that the sword he slashed out with sharp force was actually held in Lu Mingfei's hand. He could not advance an inch forward or retreat an inch.

"If I hadn't inserted all the needles," I would have to doubt it now.

"Why do you two have exactly the same reaction?"

Lu Mingfei shook his head and sighed.

"Mr. First Mate, how malicious are you to my throat?"

The first mate's face was cold and his expression did not change at all, because he did not understand what Lu Mingfei was saying at all.

This is normal. The memories of the two mixed-race personalities are incompatible. The first mate didn't know that he, who had a dragon personality, had done something similar to Lu Mingfei not long ago.

"you……"

The first mate spoke, but as soon as he said a word, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

From the look of Lu Mingfei, it seemed that he had expected this.

He touched the silver needle again.

The silver needle that was originally exposed was completely hidden into the first mate's body with Lu Mingfei's touch.

The first mate still had his eyes closed and showed no reaction.

He did not suddenly open a pair of golden eyes like before.

Seeing this, Lu Mingfei nodded.

"It's done."

The door to the room opened.

Several restless people cast their gazes at the same time, all looking towards the door of the room.

When they saw the faint smile on Lu Mingfei's face, their hearts finally dropped and fell back into their stomachs.

However, no matter what, you still have to hear the admission from your own mouth.

"Mr. Lu!"

Uncle Iwata repeatedly wiped the sweat from his hands on his clothes.

His face was filled with emotions called nervousness.

"The first mate...the first mate..."

The captain of the Sonny, a man who always talks about being a man, actually started to stutter at this moment.

If it were before, Kenta or Pepper might have taken away what Uncle Iwata wanted to say.

But now it is very quiet.

It's not that Pepper and the others have become well-behaved and sensible, they are still the same as before. It's just that at this moment, Uncle Iwata is not the only one who is nervous. Pepper Kenta and Dashan, none of them are actually any better than their captain.

"How is the first mate...how is he?"

Uncle Iwata finally asked.

Lu Mingfei always waited patiently during this process.

Then facing the expectant looks of the uncle and others, he smiled and nodded.

"Um."

Lu Mingfei said.

"The treatment is very cumbersome."

"The first mate is awake."

"Okay!"

This time it wasn't just Kenta who jumped up first.

And Uncle Iwata, the captain.

Seeing these two guys jumping together, their movements are so synchronized that it even makes people wonder if there is some kind of secret relationship between Kenta and Uncle Iwata.

Dashan punched the sky vigorously, venting the excitement in his chest in this way.

Even Little Pepper raised the corners of his mouth, sat down cross-legged in a relaxed manner, and hummed a tune that Lu Mingfei had never heard before. It sounded so good.

Lu Mingfei leaned against the wall with his hands behind his head, enjoying the happy moment.

"It's so noisy, please keep it down!"

"What! Obviously the noisiest person is you, uncle, right?"

"Do you talk to the captain like this? Boy, let's see how I teach you a lesson and make it memorable!"

Sure enough, no wonder I always feel like there's something weird, it turns out it's this...

Lu Mingfei looked at Uncle Iwata and Kenta who were arguing, shook his head, and couldn't help laughing.

He just said, how could the warm scene just now belong to the Sonny? If this ship didn't cause some trouble, it wouldn't be the Sonny.

"that……"

Lu Mingfei lowered his head and looked at Little Pepper, who was hesitating in front of him and seemed to want to say something.

"What's wrong?"

Little Pepper looked up at him, pursed her lips hard, and swallowed back all the words she was about to say. I don't know what this girl was thinking, but she snorted loudly, turned around and left.

Lu Mingfei looked at her back, thoughtfully.

…………

Due to the first mate's incident, the departure date of the Sonny was postponed for two days.

This is the last night.

Tomorrow they will actually return to the fishing village where they started.

Uncle Iwata was full of energy, as if his whole body was filled with endless energy. He kept running back and forth from the deck to the cabin, patrolling everywhere with a lantern, and he didn’t know how many times he checked Sonny. No., but what is certain is that it will definitely not be the last time. This guy seems to want to keep checking like this until dawn.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Please come in."

Lu Mingfei looked up at the person standing by the door and spoke with a smile.

"Oh, it's you, Mr. First Mate."

He can be regarded as doing as the Romans do. In Kyushu, the title "Mr." is not something that just anyone can use.

The first mate pursed his lips. He looked at the gentle smile on Lu Mingfei's face. For a moment, the prim and serious face was filled with complexity.

God knows how complicated the first officer's heart was when he woke up and learned from Iwata that the person who saved him was Lu Mingfei.

Shock, disbelief, self-doubt, and even exaggeration, a collapse of the worldview.

At the very beginning, instead of letting the first officer believe that Lu Mingfei was the hero who saved the Sonny, it would be more reasonable to let him believe that all this was just a joke played by Iwata out of boredom.

It’s just that it’s not just Iwata who said that, Kenta and Oyama were all the same.

Of course, there is also the possibility that these guys collude to make fun of themselves.

But the first mate thought about the night when the Kraken swarm attacked the Sonny, and the comparison in strength between the enemy and ourselves. He knew how much the crew members on the Sonny weighed, and he also had personal experience of the Kraken's power. In fact, the first officer clearly realized at that time that unless there was a miracle, the Sonny would be destroyed by the attack of the Kraken group.

Like a luxury cruise ship, it became the next ghost ship, which is the fate of the Sonny.

The first mate has thought about Little Pepper. With her bloodline, once she awakens, she might show some kind of incredibly powerful speech spirit.

But the possibility of final victory is still too slim. Can a word spirit really control a battlefield of this level?

The first mate took a pessimistic view.

But he never expected that the Sonny would not become a ghost ship in the end, but the miracle was not Pepper, but the one who he was always on guard against, and even reminded Iwata to be careful over and over... Lu Mingfei.

Regarding Lu Mingfei's opinion, the first officer was only half correct.

Lu Mingfei is indeed not a simple guy.

He is indeed not an ordinary person.

But Lu Mingfei had no ill intentions toward Sonny.

Quite the opposite.

The person who saved the Sonny at the critical moment was Lu Mingfei, who was suspected by the first officer.

So, when he finally realized this, one can imagine the complexity in the first officer's heart.

This complex emotion also included that the first mate could not imagine that Lu Mingfei was a narrow-minded person and stood by on the night when the sirens attacked the Sonny because of his grudge against him. , He didn’t even need to do anything at all. He was neither on the side of the Kraken nor on the side of the Sonny. He was just a neutral spectator. All of them, from Iwata to Kenta, would die.

Especially after the first mate saw the scene of the safe house with his own eyes, this idea became even more firm.

The first mate stood at the ruins of the safe house. Looking around, they were all the wreckage after the war. Beside him, Kenta vividly described Lu Mingfei's achievements that night, where he took off and where he shot away the Kraken. , that collapsed wall was caused by Lu Mingfei’s punch.

The first mate's heart was not only shocked but also shocked.

It's hard to believe.

All of this was caused by a human being.

Yes, hell, humans!

After waking up and learning everything, the first mate asked Uncle Iwata again for confirmation.

But the answer he got from his little friend was still the same as before.

No dragon blood aura was sensed on Lu Mingfei.

In other words, this guy is more like a hybrid than a hybrid. Even judging from his exaggerated record, some people would believe that this guy is a fourth-generation or third-generation pure-blood dragon.

Oh no, monster.

What a human being!

The first mate felt that the worldview he had built up over the past decades suddenly collapsed.

In fact, Iwata himself was suspicious of this matter.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei couldn't sense the dragon's blood in him before, so he just treated him as an ordinary person.

But now?

Lu Mingfei, who fought off the sea monsters alone, do you think he is an ordinary person?

So who are these mixed breeds? Are they first-level disabled?

For this reason, Uncle Iwata also tested it several times with the crew members on the Sonny, but no matter how many times the final result was the same, dragon blood could be sensed in anyone except Lu Mingfei.

What a hell.

The first mate and Uncle Iwata discussed it back and forth, but never came up with a decent explanation.

Of course they can directly ask Lu Mingfei, but they have to have that face. Whoever saved the Sonny, everyone on their ship owes their life to Lu Mingfei. It's just that in the end, they still have the nerve to ask Lu Mingfei what's going on. To be honest, the first mate and Uncle Iwata will look down on themselves.

If you can't think of a reason, then forget about it. Anyway, for Uncle Iwata and the others, they only need to know that Lu Mingfei saved their lives, and don't forget this, that's enough.

Now that the first mate appears here, in Lu Mingfei's room, it is the result of his delaying.

Mainly because he didn't know how to face Lu Mingfei.

What was his attitude towards Lu Mingfei before, and how did Lu Mingfei treat their Sonny.

Comparing the two situations, the first mate wanted to plunge into the sea and swim directly back to Japan from the North Pole.

But no matter how hard they push it, tomorrow, the day when they will return, is the deadline.

The first mate must apologize to Lu Mingfei for his attitude towards him.

So he appeared here.

The first mate opened his mouth, about to express what he had thought about countless times in his mind.

"We're finally here, Mr. First Mate."

He heard Lu Mingfei say this to himself.

Um?

The first mate's heart moved.

Why does it sound like Lu Mingfei knew he would come and waited here specially?

In fact, he was right.

"Please sit down, please sit down."

Lu Mingfei motioned to the first officer to sit down.

"Mr. First Mate, you must be very anxious."

"terribly sorry."

Lu Mingfei said sincerely.

It's okay if I don't say it. Once these words of apology were spoken, the first mate's whole body trembled and he almost slipped off the barrel. He gave Lu Mingfei a flattering gift on the spot.

Fortunately, Lu Mingfei had quick eyesight and quick hands, and supported him.

"Mr. First Mate, you haven't recovered yet. It's best to be careful in everything."

The first mate didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wait, who can blame him for being like this? What does it mean to be careful in everything? Before you say this, could you please stop apologizing frequently? You have already finished your apology, so what should I say?

Lu Mingfei didn't know that the serious-looking first mate was having thoughts of one kind or another in his mind. He just continued talking to himself.

In fact, this is normal, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. After all, he is the first mate of the Sonny. If this guy is really as serious as he seems on the surface, then he will not be able to get into the group of people on the Sonny.

As for what Lu Mingfei said next, the first officer didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he heard the first sentence, his whole mind was attracted to it.

"You feel it too, your own power..."

"Well, it's blood."

Lu Mingfei corrected himself.

But the first mate didn't care.

He understood that whether it was strength or blood, they all referred to the same thing.

His own dragon blood.

As Lu Mingfei told him, the first officer quickly realized why the other party wanted to apologize to him.

"I see……"

The first mate pondered.

After waking up, he did feel that the strength in his body was weakening, as if something he was born with was suddenly lost and could not be found, leaving a piece of it empty.

But for a while he didn't know exactly what went wrong.

The first mate only thought it was the sequelae of the serious injury and was caused by his own excessive weakness.

He didn't realize it until Lu Mingfei said this tonight.

Not excessively weak.

This is the price he must pay to still be sitting here.

Lu Mingfei used his own methods to seal the dragon personality that induced his corruption.

But at the same time, part of his dragon bloodline was also sealed together.

After all, from a certain perspective, the reason why he is a hybrid is because he has a dragon personality in his body.

Let’s give a rough example.

If it turns out that the first mate's dragon blood concentration is 49%, it will soon cross the 50% red line, which is what academic circles call the critical blood line.

He is not a gifted person, nor does he have any adventures. There is no doubt that after crossing the critical blood line, he will degenerate into Deadpool, and this body will be occupied by the awakened dragon personality.

What Lu Mingfei did was to give his dragon blood concentration a sharp blow, from 50%, which was about to cross the critical blood line, to 40%, or even 30%.
