Dragon Clan, First Word of Power: Gojo Satoru

Chapter 18 The Philosopher's Stone

The alarm grew increasingly urgent, and the vice principal couldn't help but show a pained expression.

After the doctors had administered all the alchemical reagents, Su An's condition worsened, and they looked helpless, having exhausted all their options.

The vice-principal sighed and waved his hand, ordering, "Thank you all for your contributions, medical elites. Now please leave. I need to speak with Angers alone."

The doctors exchanged surprised and uncertain glances at Su An on the hospital bed.

"But......."

The vice principal raised his voice:

"Sir and Madam, please trust my alchemical skills!"

The doctors exchanged glances again and had no choice but to give up and leave.

Angers stared at the vice-principal: "The situation is critical, why did you call those doctors out!"

"Hehe, Angers, you used to be a doctor too. You and I both know very well that Suan cannot be cured or improved by normal treatment methods."

"What do you mean?" Angers frowned.

The vice-principal looked around, pulled out several listening devices from some hidden corner, crushed them one by one, and then looked directly into Angers' eyes, uttering the words, "You already knew that Su An wasn't a half-blood."

The vice-principal's words pierced Angers like a sharp, icy blade, freezing Angers' standing body like a sculpture.

"You didn't refute it?"

The vice principal squinted slightly.

Angers remained silent, like a sculpture.

"You still don't intend to refute me?"

You're not even willing to refute it?

Is my speculation true?

Su An is really not a half-blood!

With each sentence the vice principal spoke, his voice rose a notch, until it almost echoed throughout the entire ward.

Angers quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "The most important thing now is to save Suan; he's dying."

"Heh! Is he really dying?"

He just looked like he was about to die.

Have you ever seen a normal human being repeatedly teetering on the brink of life and death? Do you think that's funny?

Have you ever seen a normal mixed-race person injected with so many alchemical reagents to activate their bloodline, yet showing absolutely no reaction?

Su An isn't a hybrid at all; what kind of monster is he?!

"When...did you find out?"

"I already noticed!"

I tried using the Word of Power Emperor to activate his bloodline, hoping the dragon blood would stimulate his immune system. That's when I noticed something was wrong, because Su An didn't react at all! I mean, not at all!

I didn't give up and tried many other methods, but those expensive alchemical potions were no different from ordinary saline solution on him!

I tried testing Su An's ancestry with the antigen reagent I carried with me, but to no avail. He didn't have any mixed-race antibodies, which meant he had no mixed-race blood at all!

Angers remained silent as he looked at the vice-principal.

The vice-principal stared at Angers and asked, "High-risk, unknown abilities, suspected of fighting the Dragon King to a draw, and this ticking time bomb has no bloodline? Angers, what exactly do you think he is?"

Angers said calmly, "He is a genuine mixed-race person; there is absolutely no problem with his bloodline."

"No problem?"

He overturned the understanding of the dragon bloodline that had been formed over thousands of years!

An inconceivable power, as dangerous as the Dragon King, yet it has no bloodline! How shocking is that!

An ordinary person without bloodline possesses power comparable to the Dragon King, which would drive all hybrids mad!

Angers, do you understand what Suan's power means?

Unexpected variables beyond the dragon bloodline, unexpected dangers and storms!

He will be coveted by all forces, envied by geniuses and elites, and driven mad by corrupt bloodlines thirsting for power! Once Su An's secrets are exposed, it might shake this world to its core...

"That doesn't matter! No matter what kind of power he's made of, he's just my chosen student, Su An."

He can help me slay dragons, that's enough. I'm just a ghost of revenge. I don't care whether I use sharp blades, cannons, or stones from the garden to slay dragons. I only care about killing all the dragons in the world, leaving none alive!

Su An is a genius, and that's enough. We'll have plenty of time to discuss other issues like bloodlines once all the dragons are dead. Vice Principal, I need Su An to slay the dragon, just as I need you to save him.

The vice principal was speechless for a moment. He said with a hint of sadness, "You're a madman, a madman who's going to his death."

Angers remained calm and said, "I only care about whether Su An can be saved. You're the expert in this; do you have any other solutions?"

"Of all the existing alchemical methods, there is no chance to save Su'an. Most methods require dragon blood, which Su'an simply does not possess. But have you heard of the Nibelungen Project?"

"Super Soldier?"

"Yes, that's the idea I've always had: to use alchemy and biotechnology, and to use serum purified from dragon blood to awaken the dragon blood within hybrids, helping them maintain self-awareness while breaking through critical blood limits, and creating the strongest dragon-slaying geniuses."

The vice principal opened his briefcase with a pained expression and took out various priceless materials, the most precious of which was a ruby-like stone.

"And the key to all of this is the Philosopher's Stone."

Angers looked up in surprise, staring intently at the gem in the vice-principal's hand: "What is that! Could it be...?!"

The vice-principal slowly raised the egg-sized, fiery red gem in his hand, gently caressing it. The shimmering gem reflected a dazzling, enchanting light. Gazing at the gem with deep affection, the vice-principal softly recited a poem—

"It is regarded as the essence of all elements, an indestructible object, the fifth element, and has the ability to cure all diseases!"

Its color is close to a deep red flesh color, or the recent ruby ​​red, which can make a person's body more perfect than a ruby!

It weighs much more than people infer from its color, and in the final stage of refinement, it should melt like wax or gold, imperceptibly perfecting our lineage!

It is a substance composed of four uniform properties and three uniform forces, which do not cancel each other out, thus making it noble.

It is the greatest miracle of alchemy, described as an amplifier capable of creating any substance, and a crucial artifact throughout the history of the dragons!

Angers murmured, "It really is..."

"Yes! It is the Philosopher's Stone, which was once highly praised as the oldest, most mysterious, or most unknown, the most incomprehensible in nature, and a blessed and sacred substance from heaven!"

So it..............! For some vague and unattainable genius, you, you, you son of a bitch Angers!

The vice-principal grabbed Angers by the collar and roared.

"Do you know how expensive this thing is! This tiny red gemstone could buy countless riches!"

For your grand dragon-slaying mission, I'm actually going to use the Philosopher's Stone to save a boy who isn't even a half-blood! If those ancient alchemists knew I'd done this, they'd crawl out of their magnificent, expensive coffins and slap me across the face!

Angers casually pointed at Su An and asked, "So, are you going to save him or not?"

"I...of course..."

Seeing the burning light in Angers' eyes, the vice-principal slumped down, almost gritting out through gritted teeth, "I'll save him."
