Chereads / The Immortal Heir: The Dragon's Harem / Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: The Threat

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: The Threat

Weeks passed, and Wu Xiaolong continued to train at the academy. He grew stronger and more skilled with each passing day, but he never forgot his duty to protect humanity from supernatural threats.

One day, while he was meditating in his room, he felt a strange presence. It was dark and malevolent, and he knew that it was a threat that he had to face.

He gathered his fellow Chosen Ones, and they prepared to face the danger. They were told that a powerful demon had entered the city, and it was their duty to defeat it.

The demon was unlike anything they had ever faced before. It was huge and monstrous, with razor-sharp claws and teeth. It was immune to their attacks, and it seemed invincible.

Wu Xiaolong knew that they had to come up with a new strategy. He remembered a story that Master Zhang had told him about a powerful dragon that had defeated a demon long ago. The dragon had used its breath to freeze the demon and then shattered it into a million pieces.

Wu Xiaolong realized that his dragon figurine had the power to summon the same kind of energy. He focused his energy, and the dragon figurine began to glow with a bright light.

He summoned the energy, and the dragon breathed a stream of icy cold air that froze the demon solid. Wu Xiaolong then shattered the demon with a powerful burst of energy, and it dissipated into nothingness.

The other Chosen Ones looked on in awe. They had never seen such power before.

Wu Xiaolong felt a sense of accomplishment, but he also felt a sense of relief. The demon had been defeated, and humanity was safe once again.

As they walked back to the academy, Wu Xiaolong felt a sense of pride in his abilities and in his family. He knew that they had faced a great threat and emerged victorious.

He looked at his fellow Chosen Ones and knew that they would always have each other's backs. They were more than just friends or comrades; they were a family united by a common purpose.

Together, they would continue to protect humanity from supernatural threats, no matter how great the danger. And with their unique abilities and powerful artifacts, they would always emerge victorious.

As they made their way back to the academy, Liang turned to Wu Xiaolong. "That was incredible, Xiaolong. You really saved our hides back there."

Wu Xiaolong smiled humbly. "It wasn't just me. We all played our part."

Zhang Wei nodded in agreement. "That's right. We're a team, and we have to work together to succeed."

Liang chuckled. "Yeah, but let's face it. Xiaolong's the star of the show."

Wu Xiaolong rolled his eyes playfully. "Stop it, Liang. You're making me blush."

They all laughed, and for a moment, Wu Xiaolong forgot about the dangers they faced. He was just a young man with his friends, enjoying a moment of levity.

But the reality of their situation soon came crashing back down on him. They were the Chosen Ones, the protectors of humanity. They had a duty to fulfill, and it was a heavy burden to bear.

Wu Xiaolong knew that there would be more challenges ahead, more threats to face. But he also knew that he wasn't alone. He had his family, his fellow Chosen Ones, by his side.

And with their support and his own unique abilities, he was ready to face whatever came his way.

They arrived back at the academy, and Master Zhang was waiting for them. "Well done, my students," he said, nodding his approval. "You have once again proven yourselves as worthy Chosen Ones."

Wu Xiaolong felt a sense of pride at Master Zhang's praise. He knew that it wasn't just his own victory, but a victory for the entire team.

But as he walked to his room, his thoughts turned inward. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more sinister lurking just beneath the surface.

He sat on his bed, staring at his dragon figurine. It had saved them once again, but he knew that it was only a matter of time before a threat came that even the dragon's power couldn't defeat.

He closed his eyes and focused his thoughts. He knew that he needed to stay vigilant, to be ready for whatever came his way. He couldn't let his guard down, not even for a moment.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door. He opened it to find Liang standing there, a serious look on his face.

"Xiaolong, I think we need to talk," Liang said, stepping inside.

Wu Xiaolong knew that look. It meant that Liang had something important to say. "What's on your mind?" he asked.

"I can't shake the feeling that there's something more going on," Liang said, pacing back and forth. "I mean, we've faced some pretty powerful demons, but this one felt different. More... calculated, you know?"

Wu Xiaolong nodded. "I know what you mean. But what can we do? We're just students."

Liang stopped pacing and turned to face Wu Xiaolong. "We can be more than just students. We can be the ones who take the fight to the demons. We can be the ones who protect humanity, no matter the cost."

Wu Xiaolong felt a sense of determination wash over him. Liang was right. They couldn't just sit back and wait for the demons to attack. They had to be proactive.

He stood up and walked over to Liang, putting a hand on his shoulder. "You're right. We can't wait for them to come to us. We have to go out and find them."

Liang smiled. "Now you're talking."

Wu Xiaolong knew that the road ahead would be difficult, but he also knew that he wasn't alone. He had Liang and the rest of his family, and together, they would do whatever it takes to protect humanity from the threats that lurked in the shadows
