Ding Meng sighed. "But you acted very well. You almost fooled me, but you still showed a flaw."
Eisendale said, "Ding Meng, I don't understand what you're talking about."
Ding Meng said, "Do you remember what you did when we first stepped onto the steel bridge?"
Eisendale frowned. She had taken out a set of tools: a pair of low-light glasses and a shining steel needle. She used these two things to examine the material composition of the bridge.
Ding Meng said, "Your bat-shaped low-light glasses. Do you know why I said they were good?"
Eisendale stared at him suspiciously. "Why?"
Ding Meng said, "Because I've seen those glasses before. Even though there's no logo on them, they're a product of the Starbow Group. I'm sure I didn't see wrong. I've seen them in the underground casino of Nanling City. They're exactly the same as yours."
Eisendale said, "You think I'm with Ling Xingqi just because of this?"
Ding Meng said, "A reasonable inference only needs a little bit of evidence. Even if you're not, you're still related to the Starbow Group."
Eisendale was stunned for a long time before she sighed faintly. "Okay, I admit that I'm with Ling Xingqi, but I'm not with her."
Ding Meng frowned. "Oh?
Is there a reason behind this? "
Eisendale sighed. "She's my bestie!"
This time, it was Ding Meng's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect these two women to have such a relationship.
Eisendale said, "But my bestie is a miser. She spends a lot of money when it's necessary, but she's stingy when it's not. We made a bet. If I can sneak into her core base, she'll give me a sum of money."
Ding Meng said, "This sum of money is probably astronomical, isn't it?"
Eisendale said, "Money is just a number to me. I'm not very interested. I just think this bet is very exciting. It's very interesting to find clues to sneak into Parry Planet without alerting the Starbow Group."
Ding Meng stared at her coldly. "It is interesting!"
Eisendale said, "The bet also stated that if I help her get the new energy, she promised to give me a part of it."
Ding Meng nodded. "I believe you're telling the truth this time!"
Eisendale said, "That's why I said we're partners, but we're not with each other.."
Ding Meng stared at her coldly. that's a lie. you're lying.. Do you really think I didn't find out?
He cleared his throat and raised his voice. "Everyone, come out. What's the point of being so secretive?"
At this moment, a large group of people walked out of the connecting cabin of the transport ship behind Eisendell. There were more than a dozen of them, and they were all old men and women. They all looked old and weak, but in fact, the auras they exuded were extremely shocking. They all had the kind of profound foundation that was hidden deep within the mountain.
According to past experience, none of these people were below the level of battle-saint. Their strength could only be higher than that.
The last person to walk out was Ling Xingqi, who had used the teleportation system to escape.
It was obvious that the teleportation system on the giant ship had been tampered with. The teleportation message had been falsified to make Ding Meng and the Netherworld Demoness think that Ling Xingqi had teleported to Rain Forest Planet. In fact, she had predicted that they would return to Poison Dragon Planet and had been waiting here for a long time.
When Ling Xingqi came down, these people spontaneously made way for her. They all looked at Ding Meng with deep vigilance.
Ling Xingqi was even more surprised than Ding Meng. "I didn't expect Shenguang Technology to be able to resurrect you. Everyone's hard work over the years has not been in vain. Today is finally the time to reap the harvest …"
In other words, she undoubtedly regarded Ding Meng as a dead person. She had to get the Shenguang energy.
"Xingqi, are you sure he got the energy?" a skinny old woman asked.
Ling Xingqi smiled. "Third Aunt, don't worry. When I was teleported here, I saw the surveillance footage. The energy crystal had mysteriously disappeared. Now, he has miraculously come back to life. Even if he didn't get the energy, he should know how to control it now."
The Third Aunt nodded silently. She turned to Ding Meng and said in a very friendly tone, "Young man, you are so young and talented. It doesn't seem right for us old folks to snatch you away. Good things should be shared with everyone. I have lived for a long time and have no other wishes. I just want to get the energy as soon as possible. My request isn't too much, is it?"
"It's not too much!" Ding Meng nodded. "But what does this have to do with me?"
The Third Aunt's face darkened. "Haven't you heard of my name, Rion?"
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is worthy of my acquaintance!"
The Third Aunt was furious. Just as she was about to attack, she was pulled back by an old man wearing a long mandarin jacket. "Don't get angry with a young man!
Everything needs to be considered at length!
You're like a hothead. Why hasn't your temper changed after hundreds of years?
Don't be an idiot! "
Although he said this, he was actually reminding her that this was the final critical moment. Anger would only blind her. Obtaining the energy was the most important thing.
Ding Meng could tell that these old people were most likely the Ling Clan's aunts. They were all Origin Energy experts, and they had been gathered by Ling Xingqi for the Divine Light Energy. The reason was simple: everyone was waiting for a breakthrough.
Once they broke through, the strength of the Starbow Group's martial artists would reach an unprecedented level. This was definitely not a good thing for the Sheng Hao Group.
Ding Meng sighed. "If you had all been so polite to me from the beginning, I might have been soft-hearted and might have even given you some of the energy. But now, I'm sorry. You've been very rude to me. You didn't even let me off after I died. None of you here can even dream about getting the Divine Light Energy."
Ling Xingqi had no choice but to step forward. "You've seen how many of us there are. I'm sure you know what's going on!"
Ding Meng laughed coldly. "You've brought so many elders here. I don't think you're planning on ending things peacefully!"
Ling Xingqi said arrogantly, "I've given you time and time again to make a wise choice. I'm still going to say the same thing: it all depends on your attitude!"
Ding Meng laughed coldly even more. "Before, you had the advantage of the Frog Race's technology, and I underestimated you too much. But things are different now. I can tell you clearly that your final trump card has no chance against me. If you don't believe me, then come and try!"
Ling Xingqi's expression changed. "Elders, please teach this brat a lesson. Teach him how to respect women. I promise that whoever takes him down first will be the first to use the Divine Light Energy."
As soon as she said this, the group of people became restless. A few of them fought to go up. The old man in the long mandarin jacket from before said disdainfully, "You people, can you be a little more shameless? How old is he?
How old are you?
It's fine if you're bullying the weak, but you want to fight with numbers?
What a joke! "
As soon as he said this, many people's faces turned red. Those who wanted to go up first retreated.
Ding Meng suddenly felt that the long mandarin jacket was quite interesting. He couldn't help but laugh. "Elder, you're quite fair. I'll say it here today. I promise that I won't kill you first!"
The man in the mandarin jacket replied disdainfully, "Hmph!
Young people don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. But it's normal to be a little arrogant. When I was a little kid, I was much more arrogant than you. Of course, after kneeling and begging for mercy a few times, your temper naturally changed. "
Ding Meng smiled but didn't say anything. However, at this moment, someone still jumped out. A skinny old man who was less than 1.6 meters tall slowly walked forward. "Kid with the surname Ding, you look young. You probably haven't heard of me, Peng Long. We're all from the Thermodynamics Department, so I'll come and exercise with you. I'll also say this: if you can take advantage of me, I won't make things difficult for you today. You can go wherever you want!"
Ding Meng suddenly felt that these old Origin Energy freaks from the Federation were more or less reasonable. They were different from Ling Xingqi because these people had lived for hundreds of years. They had experienced a lot in their lives. What kind of strange things had they not seen before?
The world was big. What could be more important than one's own life?
If you had to choose between the Divine Light and your own life, most people would probably choose the latter. That was why everyone was still being polite. They probably didn't want to fight to the death.
Ding Meng hooked his finger at him. "Come!"
"Heh!" Peng Long laughed dryly. "Kid, you're even more arrogant than I am."
He took a few steps forward. This movement technique was quite strange. It felt like he was a monkey changing directions on a tree branch. After taking three or four steps, he suddenly raised his hand and swung it through the air. A golden Origin Energy mirror image of a giant claw appeared and sealed off Ding Meng's escape routes.
Although he said that he was just exercising, this was actually his famous technique, the "Holy Golden Dragon Claw". It wasn't some kind of profound technique. Many Origin Energy Cultivators knew how to use it, but he was the only one who could master it to this extent.
This giant claw image wasn't as simple as just grabbing people. Just as it was about to grab Ding Meng's body, a golden Xiao Long suddenly shot out from the center of the claw. Xiao Long roared and attacked Ding Meng's face.
Seeing this, many of the old men on Ling Xingqi's side nodded in agreement.
"This guy has improved a lot in the past two years!"
"Yeah, that's how stubborn people are. They only practice this one move."
"So what if it's just one move?
I'm not afraid of a thousand moves, I'm only afraid of one move. "
"That kid will definitely be seriously injured …"
… …
Everyone was still discussing this, but Ding Meng didn't even move. He allowed the claw and the golden dragon to attack him.
As soon as the claw touched his body, it disappeared without a trace. As for the golden dragon, it seemed like he had opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Even Peng Long was surprised. "Huh?
This kid is practicing a fusion technique? "
He hadn't guessed wrong. This was the "Diamond Starfusing Art". Currently, the Starfusing Art had reached the point where he could absorb energy from any part of his body.
Ding Meng's expression was thoughtful. "Not bad. His Origin Energy level is around eight billion. That's quite rare."
Hearing this, Peng Long was almost angered to death. I'm a 350 + year old advanced level Battle-Saint, but in your eyes, it's "rare"?
Unexpectedly, Ding Meng raised his head and said, "Alright, you can leave now."
Peng Long was stunned. "Leave?"
Ding Meng said seriously, "Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I don't want to kill you."
"What a joke!"
Peng Long was furious. He couldn't turn back even if he wanted to. A famous expert was forced to retreat by a thirty year old kid. If he returned to his team, wouldn't he be laughed at by the others?
"Bang — — —"
Peng Long's hands suddenly ignited with two balls of golden Origin Flame. This time, he didn't wave his claw across the air. Instead, he directly pounced forward. His entire body was wrapped in a mirror image of the Golden Dragon Claw, and he shot toward Ding Meng like a cannonball.
