"Not so fast, kid! You'll have to get through me first!"
Seeing Lin Yuan arrive, the unoccupied Elder beside Red Anglerfish stepped forward first.
This was his chance to prove his loyalty.
The Elders Red Anglerfish had brought here were the elite among their ranks.
This unoccupied Elder had also reached Double A-rank.
Although he had only just advanced to Double A-rank under Red Anglerfish's arrangements before this operation, it still gave him full confidence in stopping Lin Yuan.
He had watched Lin Yuan's battle earlier. Although the moves that suppressed the four Pirate Generals were somewhat bizarre, he was certain Lin Yuan was not Double A-rank.
When both the body and transcendent power reached A-rank, life underwent a qualitative transformation. This was the foundation for touching Authority Power.
An enormous gulf lay between Double A-rank and A+-rank.
Brimming with confidence, the Crawlers Elder moved in front of Lin Yuan and threw a punch!
The punch was blindingly fast and ferocious, its strength likely no less than Lin Yuan's.
Lin Yuan's strength had already surpassed that of an A+-rank Deep Sea Behemoth, placing him at the very pinnacle of A+-rank.
Yet a single Double A-rank Elder possessed strength comparable to his.
That alone showed how formidable Double A-rank fighters were.
"Shell Pump, burst!"
Lin Yuan darted aside, dodging the Elder's attack, then continued charging toward the crystal.
"You dare turn your back on me?"
The Elder moved extremely fast, turning and driving a punch hard into Lin Yuan's back.
A trickle of blood escaped the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth, but that was all.
Instead, he used the force of that punch to leave the Elder behind and hurtle toward the crystal even faster.
Strength was one thing, but Lin Yuan's vitality was far beyond anything a Double A-rank fighter
