While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

There are two ways to beat others: the first is to improve yourself, and the second is to sabotage your opponent's game.

But Yang Ding didn't take those two guys seriously at all, because his goal was to be number one on the defense leaderboard.

There are still fourteen teams from the top-tier classes ahead of them. The fact that the team from the second-tier class came first is just self-congratulation and doesn't mean anything.

"Which buildings are you from?" Yang Ding asked in return.

"Our Class B7 is responsible for buildings 200 to 210. Want to come and pick up some big stuff?"

"Do you have large shipments?" Yang Ding asked with a smile.

I thought they wouldn't say anything, but these guys weren't afraid at all.

"We have at least three in our sights. Once we slaughter them tonight, you'll never be able to catch us again."

"If you've got the guts, you can come and pick it up. We can also defend ourselves and cripple you. Then Instructor Ye won't be able to cause us any trouble."

Yang Ding remained silent; he was truly moved.

"How about we each do our own thing and not interfere with each other?" he asked.

The two groups of senior students, numbered twenty men and twenty women, burst out laughing almost simultaneously.

"How naive! If we want to go to the royal city to attend the princess's coming-of-age ceremony, we'll have to find a way to eat the beast crystals of the lower-grade students. Do you think we can outdo the top-grade class?"

"You first-graders got to be first in the second-class class by luck. Are you gloating? But have you ever thought that the better your grades are, the more you'll be targeted?"

It seems that the consensus is that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.

"Going to the capital is just to broaden your horizons, why be so harsh on your juniors? Do you think the princess would even be interested in you?" Yang Ding asked.

"Everyone in the Jinglong Empire must be married when they turn eighteen, and the princess is no exception. You can be married to Instructor Ye and Instructor Fang, so why can't we be married to Princess Wan'er?"

If everyone thinks this way, then the top spot on the defense leaderboard will probably become ten times more difficult to achieve.

"You guys really dare to think that way."

Yang Ding didn't think that much about it and just told a lie.

"We are responsible for buildings 25 to 35. If you dare to come and steal anything, you will suffer the same fate. I advise you not to cause trouble."

"Let's see who has the best skills, hehe."

To be honest, if these older students came to cause trouble, our team members wouldn't be able to handle it.

But he also knew that these guys would be found sooner or later.

Should we also drag these ambitious senior brothers and sisters into the final killing game?

Mao Jian asked in a low voice, "Brother Ding, should we give up? With so many senior brothers and sisters watching, we're not going to get away with this."

"You can leave the team," Yang Ding replied coldly.

Mao Jian was so frightened that he dared not utter another sound.

……

On the way to the farm community in the evening, the bus screen repeatedly played the rankings.

Eradicating the parasitic beasts has become the most important task in Jiangling City.

"The older students are really impressive."

"As time goes on, many junior and senior students will rise in the group rankings, and their average strength is incomparable to ours."

"But the squad leader's wife is formidable; what if she gets involved in the extermination?"

"She is the close combat instructor for twenty classes. It makes no sense for her to help the class monitor unless there are really those experts he mentioned. Otherwise, the chances of winning are zero."

Everyone spoke very softly, afraid that Yang Ding would hear them.

Yang Ding had the driver turn off the screen and distributed the walkie-talkies that Huang Bingbing had recently acquired to each group leader.

"From now on, you are only responsible for investigation. If a suspect is found in the building, call for my backup immediately. Do not act rashly. Only by making a planned arrest can we reduce casualties and increase the success rate."

"Squad leader, do you think they'll fight back tonight?"

"Probably not. Those who could escape have already left the city, and those who couldn't probably wouldn't be able to organize a major counterattack."

"Try to shout slogans, but don't shout things like 'There are parasites,' otherwise a lot of classes will start fighting over monster crystals."

After getting off the bus, everyone rode bicycles at the entrance of the community to their respective buildings.

Sun Li caught up with Yang Ding.

"Captain Yang, now that I've dealt with Team Leader Jiang, are you really going to take me to the royal city?"

"Of course, you're my team member, but I can also kick you out, depending on your value."

"I have to teach during the day and conduct investigations at night. Where am I supposed to find him?"

Yang Ding pointed to the rooftop, "Go up and take a look. Your first task is to be a double agent; others will handle the investigation."

"Alright, when we get to the capital, you mustn't expose my identity. If I find a good family, I won't forget your guidance, Captain."

"Absolutely, I would say you are like a lotus rising from the mud, unstained by its surroundings, and pure and unpretentious."

"With your words, I promise I will keep my word."

Sun Li is actually a woman from the lower class. She doesn't have great talent, nor does she have parents to help her. She just relies on her face and figure to sleep her way up, from a textile factory worker to her current position in the second class of the martial arts academy.

As for why she was never afraid of getting pregnant, Yang Ding was always curious and wanted to ask her, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

If he could master the ultimate technique, he could enjoy the happiness of both wives for a long time.

When they arrived at Building 55, Yang Ding didn't plan to go up.

"You guys go and investigate. I'll patrol the main road and can support the eight groups at any time. Once the leaderboard is open, I reckon a lot of the older students will start looting."

With Yang Ding gone, everyone was in a panic.

After hesitating for a long time, Mao Jian finally went upstairs to investigate.

The investigation was too time-consuming. If Yang Ding wanted to become the target of the parasitic beasts' revenge, he would have to kill more of their kind.

He was prepared to hunt like a lone wolf. In addition to the eight investigation teams from Class B22, Fang Dalong's law enforcement team would also provide him with information about the farm community.

Yang Ding, dressed in a black leather jacket and carrying a black gold sword, rode a bicycle on an old-fashioned bicycle through the deserted streets of the community.

"Da Long, Da Long, is your leg injury alright?"

"I'm fine. The wood-element instructor my sister found is quite powerful; healed in just two sessions."

"Does the law enforcement agency have any way to identify fire-type parasites?"

"If there are any suspects, contact headquarters logistics directly to check their identities. Those who are not fire-type awakened should be arrested. Those who resist arrest may be killed."

"What if you killed the wrong person?"

"So you must register with me. If there is no record and you kill a superhuman as if they were a parasite, you will be taken to the law enforcement agency in court."

"Understood. Have you found anything yet?"

"It doesn't seem like there are as many as a few days ago. After tonight, once the missing persons registration is complete, we'll know how many have fled outside the city."

Before long, the eight groups in the class reported several cases of missing family members.

"You need to report your floor location to me every half hour."

"Yes, squad leader."

Yang Ding rode his bicycle back and forth, practicing the Void Rift Technique. He asked everyone to report their locations so that he could easily use location tracking.

Actually, you don't necessarily have to use your fingers to make a crack; using your fingers makes it easier to concentrate your mental energy.

The cultivation process still requires pursuing "the law can be turned at will," meaning one can use spiritual power to tear open any crack at will.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, a spatial parasite has been discovered in Building 98, but I saw several upperclassmen trying to steal it from us downstairs. Do you want to come?"

"Come."

The space-type beast crystals are the most valuable, with double the points, so Yang Ding naturally wanted them.
