Chapter 55: Chapter 47 Daughter of the Sea

Boom!

Long Yi extended three fingers, simulating the motion of a trident, a huge water spiral followed behind him, transforming into a water drill, and collided with the girl’s drill!

The collision of water, the incessant roaring sound, the girl was astonished to discover, although the opponent’s drill was smaller, it was able to withstand the pressure of her own! Furthermore, the opponent’s drill seemed to be even more solid, with greater force!

The two drills constantly consuming each other, and more water was supplemented due to the attractivity of the drills. After this, it’d be a test of who then had more enduring Dragon Fighting Aura! And in testing Dragon Fighting Aura, Long Yi had never lost to anyone! His Dragon Fighting Aura, possessing a trait akin to having an upper hand, was enough to triumph in any battle that compared the endurance of Dragon Fighting Aura!

Being a man requires endurance!

"Imposter!"

The girl let out a light huff, clearly noticing that although Long Yi’s layers of Dragon Fighting Aura were not high, they were extraordinarily enduring, she decided no longer to dawdle! She decided to seal the victory with a single blow!

Boom!

Huge roar, the water drill exploded in an instant, including Long Yi’s drill also exploded at the same time, faced with the astonished Long Yi, the girl’s trident had already rushed towards Long Yi’s chest!

"I have won!"

Just when the girl had this thought, the girl’s trident was tightly grabbed by a large pair of hands!

"No, I have won!"

The girl stunned, right after, her entire body was flung and flew up! Long Yi holding onto the spearhead of the trident, instantly spun on the spot, the girl could not match Long Yi’s brute force? The trident slipped out of her hand, and her entire body flew out!

The girl spun a few rounds in the air, fell into the water with a splash, when she resurfaced, only her small face was revealed, her small face was beet-red, her eyes were intently fixed on the trident in Long Yi’s hand, she didn’t pursue him again.

"You, how do you feel?" the girl suddenly asked.

Long Yi spun the trident in his hand a few rounds, showcasing his skill.

"Not bad, I think I can fight a few more rounds." Long Yi spoke truthfully.

"..."

The girl fell silent momentarily, then raised her hand and commanded, the bright pearl above her head fell into her hand, the seawater disappeared, even Long Yi’s clothing was instantly dry.

The girl gave Long Yi a careful look, and Long Yi also fixed his gaze at the girl, clueless as to what the girl going to do. After waiting for a long while, the girl finally spoke.

"I give up, the thing that I sold was found at the bottom of the sea, now it belongs to you, no need for money. I give it to you."

Saying so, the girl wanted to leave the fighting space.

"Ah, thank you, by the way, your weapon!"

Long Yi was about to throw the trident over as he spoke, but the girl’s body began to fade away, yet her voice came across.

"Also gifted to you."

Eh?

What’s happening?

The fighting space disappeared, Long Yi holding onto the trident returned to his own private space. Indeed, there on the ground of the space was the jet engine, despite being somewhat damaged, it was indeed from his own plane!

Long Yi was thoroughly familiar with his own chariot, he was completely clear about every little screw’s model!

Touching the icy cold metal of the engine, Long Yi had an impulse to cry.

Long Yi missed home.

For eighteen years, Long Yi always had the attitude of settling down wherever he found himself. He had never thought about going home, he wasn’t one of those miraculous physicists, he didn’t understand wormhole theories, or if the universe was born from a singularity or a fourth-dimensional membrane. He only knew, since he had arrived here, he needed to live this life to the fullest.

The appearance of this engine had triggered his memories.

His eyes gradually blurred, the Dragon Fighting Aura and magic in his body were somewhat restless.

Suddenly, the engine beneath his hand moved a bit.

Long Yi was startled, wiped his eyes, and looked carefully, indeed, the shaft in front of him seemed a bit different!

Could it be!!!

This thing can still be used?

Run Dragon Fighting Aura through it!

No response!

Run magic through it!

Still no reaction!

Simultaneously run Dragon Fighting Aura and magic through it!

Hum!

A soft noise, the turbine actually moved a bit! It truly rotated a bit!

Crack!

With a clear ringing sound, something broke, all motions ceased.

But Long Yi was already mad with joy.

When he returned from Dragon God’s Space, Wesley and Ai Lin in front of him were anxiously looking at Long Yi. When the avatar entered the space, Long Yi’s original body had always been sitting obediently, but all of a sudden he didn’t know why, the previously expressionless Long Yi had actually shed tears!

But almost simultaneously, the expression on his face transformed into ecstasy!

"You all will never know what I have obtained!"

Long Yi made a mistake in his statement. To take out something from Dragon God’s space, it must be placed in Bajie’s personal space. Now, here’s the problem—the turbine engine is massive. The Dragon Clan’s personal space is proportional to the size of the dragon, so Long Yi cannot possibly take out something of such magnitude from his personal space.

However, it’s not forever. As Bajie evolves and grows in size, his space will naturally expand. When that happens, the engine can be retrieved.

Whether it can be taken out now is pointless. After all, this world has never seen a turbine engine before, so the chance of finding someone who can repair it is practically zero, regardless of whether they are Dwarves or Elves. Moreover, even if it can be fixed, Long Yi does not plan to let anyone know about its existence.

In this world, the speed of most members of the Dragon Clan is not very fast. Despite their enormous size and strong physical abilities, their bodies are still no match for the mechanic beings of the technological world, which can already fly close to six times the speed of sound.

However, things would be different with this engine.

If Dragon Power can drive the turbine, then perhaps there’s a way to help the Dragon Clan accelerate!

It’s impossible to retrieve the massive engine now, but there’s another thing that can be taken out.

That is the trident left by the young girl.

When the trident was taken out, Wesley’s eyes widened in astonishment.

"Brother Long, you’re incredible to be able to get a hold of this thing!"

"Is this thing special?"

As Long Yi looked at the trident, which was almost as tall as he was, he could only feel its staggering weight. The long handle was made from an icy metallic material. The three prongs, on the other hand, were crafted from a type of transparent, blue gemstone that was starkly contrasted with the handle.

"Special? It’s not just special, it’s extraordinary!" Wesley began to get excited. "Do you know, this trident is unique to the Sea Clan, and specifically among the royal family of the Sea Clan? The trident holds the power of the sea, and anyone who possesses it apart from the royal family of the Sea Clan would be turned into a puddle of seawater!"

With Wesley’s extensive knowledge, he understood how special this trident was. After all, over seventy percent of the world’s surface is covered by oceans. The Sea Clan have the widest territories in the world, rich in marine resources and mineral deposits. The Sea Clan is the second largest exporter of ores after the Dwarves. Although the Sea Clan are not as greedy as the Dwarves, they trade these ores for grains, fruits, meats or rare handicrafts and luxury goods from the land. The humans need to trade with the Sea Clan to use the oceans, and every year, they pay a hefty amount in tax to them.

So, when it comes to the Sea Clan, it equates to one word.

Money!

However, despite its composite nature, the Sea Clan varies widely in terms of power. Some members of the Sea Clan are extremely weak, while others are almost as strong as the Dragon Clan, but only in terms of physical strength.

The Sea Emperor’s family rules over the entire Sea Clan. The so-called Sea Emperor’s family are the Mermaids.

"Ah, yes! That girl was a mermaid."

"That’s right then, you must have encountered a member of the Sea Emperor’s family. This trident is a symbol of their adulthood. Moreover... Oh no, Brother Long! You’re in big trouble!"

Something seemed to have occurred to Wesley as he looked terrified.

"What big trouble am I in?"

Long Yi asked, confused.

"This trident is the Sea Emperor Clan’s most important weapon. If you’ve taken their weapon, it’s their biggest disgrace in life. They will stop at nothing to retrieve their weapon. Years ago, the crown prince of the Red Dragon Empire seized a trident from a prince of the Sea Emperor clan during a competition and refused to return it. The Emperor also rejected all of the Sea Emperor Clan’s hefty compensations, flaunting the power of the Empire. Three months later, an army of ten million members of the Sea Clan descended on the coastal border. For six months, not a single Red Dragon Empire trading ship dared to go out to sea. In the end, the Emperor of the Red Dragon Empire had to personally invite that Sea Clan prince back for another competition with his son. After that, the crown prince of the Blazing Flame Empire was bedridden for three months, and his old emperor father couldn’t do anything about it!"

Wesley rapidly relayed. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"The Sea Clan, they’re that domineering?" Long Yi was a bit puzzled; he doesn’t care much about such things.

"’Domineering’ is an understatement!" Wesley remarked, "You should know that the Sea Clan’s population is hundreds to thousands of times larger than the human population on land. Humans cannot step into the oceanic territory, but lots of Sea Clans, including the Sea Emperor Clan, can set foot on land! Every nation’s emperor is greatly concerned about an invasion by the Sea Clan."

Long Yi nodded, then shook his head, "I believe that the Sea Clan is strong, but an invasion, I don’t think so? Even if they can set foot on land, they can’t survive for long. What benefits could they gain from invading the land?"

Benefits?

This question made Wesley scratch his head. Indeed, any war had to yield benefits. All emperors believed that the Sea Clan would inevitably invade, but what on land would the Sea Clan value so much that they would be willing to launch a war for it?

Delicious grilled meat? With the Sea Clan’s wealth, they could easily buy all the grilled meat on land.

So, Wesley fell into deep thought.

At the bottom of the West Sea, an imposing Imperial Palace of the Sea Clan sat atop a gigantic rock layer. The entire palace was built entirely out of coral, and these tiny lives exerted the aura of royalty with their existence.

At this moment, Sea Emperor Boris was contemplating whether to reduce taxes on the trade ships passing through his ocean territory. He realized that his constant expansion of the treasury had displeased the Queen. After all, gold didn’t amount to much at the bottom of the sea.

Suddenly, the scallop door to his study was pushed open, and a small figure darted in.

"Father!"

A tender voice rang out. Boris’ frown gradually relaxed. The person who appeared was Mina, the Sea Emperor’s most beloved nine-year-old daughter.

"My little darling, who did you go bully today?"

The Sea Emperor opened his arms, waiting for Mina to jump into his embrace as she usually did, and share with him her achievements from the day.

Mina, however, stopped in front of the Sea Emperor and spread her arms. "Father, do I look any different today?"

"You’re much cuter!"

Boris immediately responded. He wasn’t just appeasing a child. Deep down, Mina appeared cuter to him every day than the day before.

"No, Father, take a closer look!"

Mina swayed her small hands and asked earnestly.

No difference?

Boris was puzzled. There was no problem with Mina’s hands, nor with her body. Her tail fins were still as gorgeous as her mother’s.

So what was it?

"Wait, my little sweetheart, where’s your trident?"

Boris finally noticed; Mina’s favorite trident was nowhere to be seen.
