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

"The mermaid beast is hiding in a place you will never find."

"We can't find them among our tens of thousands of pirates, so what makes you think you can?" Don Depp asked.

"Because of my first wife, Ye Rou."

Yang Ding held Ye Rou's hand and said, "Her father is Grandmaster Ye Jian. Ye Jian made some promises with Queen Jinglong and the Mermaid Beast Chieftain back then. These promises are about me, so the Mermaid Beast only wants to see me."

Alexander Khan looked completely bewildered, pointing at Ye Rou with a cigar in his hand.

"Her father's name is known to everyone on Earth, the head of the Hall of Heroes, but how old were you when Grandmaster Ye Jian was alive? What business is it of yours whatsoever with their agreement?"

This group of people had already investigated Yang Ding's basic information and knew that he was only eighteen or nineteen years old this year.

"Queen Jinglong is a time-manipulator, capable of foreseeing the future."

"What the hell is that any of your business?"

Tang Depu was getting a little impatient; he felt the kid was just showing off.

Yang Ding looked at him and made a strange request.

"General Tang Depu, use your ninth-rank cultivation to punch me."

Don Depp was a little confused. He stroked his blond hair and looked at Alexander Khan. "Is he out of his mind? With that little body, can he take a punch from me?"

"Couldn't you have held back a little?" Alexander Khan replied.

"Alright."

Tang Depu clenched his old fist and reminded Yang Ding.

"Be careful, I'll only use my first-grade lower realm cultivation."

"Are you kidding me, Don Depp? Give it your all."

"Aren't you supposed to be a space ability user? Your body hasn't been enhanced at all. If I hit you, you'd be dead."

"You can't hit me."

"After you smash it, can you stop keeping me in suspense? Otherwise, I'll really smash you to death."

Yang Ding smiled dismissively, "If you can hit me, I'll answer any questions you have."

Tang Depu, too lazy to waste words, punched Yang Ding.

However, he dared not use his full strength, only using his third-grade lower realm cultivation. Even if he hit him, it should only cripple him, not kill him.

Just as his fist was about to strike Yang Ding, Yang Ding took a step back and disappeared like a ghost. The speed at which the void rift healed was invisible to the naked eye.

"Holy crap, that was fast."

Alexander Khan was also stunned. It was impossible. Even the top space system genius on Earth couldn't have reached this level of cultivation in his first year of university.

"Da Puzi, he's behind you."

Donald felt a chill run down his spine. With his ninth-grade cultivation, he had actually allowed his opponent to get behind him. This was unacceptable.

He turned around quickly and threw a punch without hesitation, this time using his fifth-grade upper realm cultivation.

Yang Ding reappeared behind him.

Donald was furious.

He used his sixth-grade, seventh-grade, and eighth-grade cultivation levels, and Yang Ding continued to teleport in place.

The office was shattered by the force of his punch. Alexander Khan sat in the ruins and shouted, "That's enough, that's enough. There's no need to add any more power."

"It's my turn."

Yang Ding stood behind Donald, pressing two fingers against his cervical spine, trying to freeze his blood.

Donald felt an extreme, bone-chilling cold penetrate his skin and surge towards his head and neck.

"not good!"

He quickly used his internal energy to resist, and then leaped ten meters away.

Yang Dingming stood still, but used spatial folding to launch a second Blood Mist attack.

Donald, a ninth-rank big shot, was so scared that he jumped around wildly, but he couldn't escape Yang Ding's two fingers no matter what.

He doesn't even need to teleport; he only needs to continuously fold space.

Whether it's a few hundred meters or several thousand meters, the difference is not significant to him now; it's all just a matter of moments.

However, it is currently impossible for him to easily defeat a martial artist of Tang Depu's caliber.

Seeing Donald's disheveled appearance, Alexander Khan lost his appetite for his cigar.

"Holy crap, you kid, you know water-based martial arts?"

Yang Ding stopped teasing Donald and instead pointed to the cigar in Alexander Khan's hand, beckoning with his finger, and the cigar was in his hand.

Then something truly chilling happened to Alexander Khan.

Even though the cigar tobacco leaves had been dried long ago, a bright green tobacco plant sprouted in no time.

"A withered tree comes back to life? That's a wood-based healing technique. You think you can have three abilities?"

"Far more than that, gentle!"

"Honey, get ready!"

Ye Rou kicked the huge wall beneath her feet toward Yang Ding, who smashed it to pieces with a single punch.

He dusted off his hands, spread them out, and looked at Alexander Khan.

"Holy shit, you even have fighting skills."

Alexander Khan looked at Don Depp, who had returned in a disheveled state.

"Old Golden Retriever, did you see that?"

If Alexander Khan had dared to call Don Depp "Golden Hair" back then, he would have been shot with a missile.

But Don Depp isn't in the mood to worry about these things right now.

He loosened the black tie at the collar of his military uniform, panting heavily.

"I saw it, this kid is inhuman."

Yang Ding is no longer afraid of his identity being exposed. Soon, three of his wives will be Grandmasters, and he himself will be at least a Double Grandmaster. He can walk sideways all over the entire Blue Star.

"Now you don't doubt my special status, right?"

Alexander Khan and Don Depp exclaimed in unison, "You wouldn't happen to be the Ninth Element that's been all the rage in the North, would you?"

"That's right, I am, and I am also the Lord of Earth."

"Lord of Blue Star? You're just a Jinglong person."

"Jinglong, Baiying, Juxiong, Wangshe, Sanshi, and the humans of Blue Star should unite."

"You're in charge?" Alexander Khan sneered.

"Of course, this is the prophecy that Queen Jinglong gave to the merfolk: only I can protect their people and ensure their safe return to Mercury."

Although Alexander Khan and Tang Depu did not believe that their empire would submit to Jinglong, they believed Yang Ding's words.

"So, your Jinglong clan wants to protect the mermaid beast?"

"That's a matter for the future. After all, they are not of our kind, so we don't necessarily have to protect them."

"So what is the purpose of your visit to me this time?"

"Join me and kill Wang Xuehua, or you will have killed her husband, son, grandchildren, and have no way out."

Tang Depu disagreed, saying, "Wang Xuehua is a Grandmaster, one of the top ten fighters on Earth, and she's in her water-based territory. We can't win against her."

"We also have a Grandmaster from Jinglong making a move."

"Who?"

"Eastern Navy Commander-in-Chief Mu Qingyao."

Tang Depu glanced at Alexander Khan, wondering what he was thinking.

Alexander Khan was indeed tempted. Wang Xuehua had searched the entire East China Sea for him to seek revenge, so it was better to strike first.

Will the merman beast intervene?

"Of course, the Merfolk have completely trusted me, and the chieftain will definitely take action."

"Alright, it's settled then. We won't make a move unless Commander Mu shows up."

"no problem."

"After this is done, you have to return my aircraft carrier to me," Don Depp said.

He didn't dare ask the White Eagle Empire for help; the entire empire only had two aircraft carriers.

"That's inevitable. We have no use for aircraft carriers anyway," Yang Ding said with a smile.
