[Please subscribe to the official version] âIn that case, I shall not refuse, thank you.â Hearing the opponent being so magnanimous, Jia Yan gratefully responded.
Yet at the same time, he was secretly estimating the level of power he needed to exert.
âIf I defeat this Piweishe easily, I might come across as too strong, and even some of the Secondary Powerhouses might feel threatened by my position.
But if I donât win, my importance within this force will be much diminishedâŠâ
âThen, letâs win this battle through a hard fight!â
After analyzing the situation, Jia Yan took action immediately!
The opponent thought Jia Yan had no chance of winning, but Jia Yan believed even less in the opponentâs chances!
âGood kid, that was a brilliant move!â
That being named Piweishe, seeing Jia Yanâs attack on the foreleg, suddenly had his eyes light up.
Then, his feet flashed swiftly, unleashing a counteracting force.
When Jia Yanâs foreleg attack went forward, it could have directly severed the opponentâs limb, but in the moment of impact, it evasively sidestepped instead.
âImpressive attack, but my limbs arenât limited to just one, let me show you.â
The remaining hundred-plus limbs of Piweishe, like countless tentacles surging forth as if summoned by bees, rushed towards Jia Yanâs position.
But as these limbs surged towards him, Jia Yanâs body abruptly entered the Subspace.
âEh?
A talent that can traverse Subspace, not bad.â Piweishe was surprised, but showed no sign of shock.
In the Genius Battlefield, there are all kinds of talents; space talent is a common gift, and there are quite a few here who can traverse spaces.
Of course, not all individuals with space talent can traverse spaces; this gift is still exceedingly rare.
But now there was nothing particularly surprising to see.
âHumph!â
Jia Yan snorted coldly, and from within Subspace, he thrust out one of his forelegs fiercely.
He had become increasingly skilled at traveling through space; the once uncontrollable traversing distances through Subspace that would lead one to appear tens or hundreds of kilometers away in a single step, would no longer occur.
And this piercing attack just happened to be behind Piweishe.
âI sensed the spatial fluctuation, it wonât be that easy to ambush me!â
Piweishe dodged fiercely, then avoided Jia Yanâs sneak attack.
Although Jia Yan was somewhat holding back, he still felt that his ability to traverse space was no longer a significant advantage in the Genius Battlefield.
However, he had no thoughts of increasing his power and instead was methodical, steadily unleashing his powers in each move against his opponent.
In the space, streaks of interactive attacks sparked to life.
The two sides turned out to be evenly matched!
âWhat an impressive newcomer, his name is Jia Yan, right?
Being able to fight on par with the top experts among the more than two hundred Dignitaries, itâs simply amazing.â
âThis is still a newbie, have you forgotten that every newcomer to the Genius Battlefield has a period of explosive performance?
His strength might become so formidable in time that even Piweishe wonât be able to handle him!â
âRight, his name is Jia Yan, isnât it?
Good, really good, maybe our Wusu Power will have a mid to high-level talented strongman soon!â
One after another, the existences within Wusu Power discussed spiritedly, seeming rather optimistic about Jia Yanâs strength.
Of course, the Secondary Powerhouses on the side had the same thought!
âThis Jia Yan actually has such strength, have you investigated his background?â
âIâve asked around, he is said to be from a small place on the side of Luoci Empire, called the Northern Star Domain, and that colossal ship body of his seems to be picked up junk from some ruins.
Such an existence is definitely not an undercover agent from other forces.â
A few Secondary Powerhouses were also quite impressed by Jia Yanâs strength.
In the Genius Battlefield, there are distinctions among geniuses themselves; most powerful geniuses go to influential forces, where they not only receive more resources but also guidance from Senior geniuses, which is an advantage that cannot be replaced by any benefit.
Yet they saw Jia Yanâs background as simple.
He had not even been in contact with other forces before, and they would be very disappointed if they let such a talent slip through their fingers!
âIt seems Jia Yan is about to take the upper hand!
Good job, it looks like our Wusu Power is about to produce a mid to high-level genius in the Genius Battlefield!â
One after another, the Secondary Powerhouses were extremely excited.
Do not underestimate a mid to high-level talent; in their Wusu Power, they truly did not have one.
Wusu Power itself is a weak force, and the shadow of the Empire behind it is severe.
External geniuses dislike joining forces with the shadow of an Empire, so most of the geniuses here are from the Empire itself, which is a significant restriction, and it has been a long time since they have had a mid-level or above genius.
In essence, the Wu Ci Power is a fusion of talents from two great empires.
One is a distant starfield empire called Wu Country, and the other is the Luozi Empire that Jia Yan is aware of.
Both empires possess average strength, and neither has many geniuses, so they allied within the Genius Battlefield to secure their place.
The emergence of Jia Yan has caused some envy within the Wu Ci Power, especially since his background aligns with their thinking too.
The Northern Star Domain is, in terms of geographical conditions, within the sphere of influence of the Luozi Empire, hence heâs considered ârooted and genuineâ!
Jia Yan clashed repeatedly with Piweishe, and gradually, Jia Yanâs physical advantage began to show, as Piweisheâs stamina started to falter and he fell into a disadvantage.
âWell done!â
At a certain moment, Jia Yan landed a strike on Piweisheâs head.
The opponent staggered violently.
âAlright, I declare Jia Yan the winner!â
Piweishe still wanted to continue the fight, but a Secondary Powerhouse had grown tired of watching and flew out to declare the result of the battle.
Everyone knew that Piweisheâs physical strength was no match for Jia Yan, and continuing the fight would only be dragging it out for a little while longer.
âThank you for the bout!â Jia Yan said indifferently to Piweishe, seemingly still very strong at the moment.
Of course, Jia Yan had not yet fully exerted his strength, so naturally, he still had plenty of energy.
âGreat, great, great!
Our Wu Ci Power has gained another effective and talented Commander.
Jia Yan, work hard, and come to me if thereâs anything you donât understand.â
The strongman who flew out was a large pig monster with red skin; he seemed to hold Jia Yan in high esteem, lavishing praise upon him.
âWhat are you talking about?
Jia Yan was first welcomed by me; if he has questions, he should come to me,â said another creature that looked like a long snake, who flew up close to Jia Yan, praising him incessantly.
These two were high-ranking officials from within the Wu Ci Power; the former was a strongman from the pig royalty of the Luozi Empire, the latter a strongman from Wu Country.
Jia Yan just smiled and did not express any particular opinion.
Being favored by two Secondary Powerhouses, the reason he was neither servile nor overbearing was that he was not necessarily weaker than these Secondary Powerhouses at all.
While Jia Yan was discussing with a group of strong ones, he was unaware that within this celestial body, a terrifying existence in the area where a presumed reclusive Semi-permanent Star Genius resided was quietly unleashing a bit of its power and had observed this scene of battle.
âHeh, Jia Yan, eh?
Concealing his strengthâŠâ
The gleam in this strong oneâs eyes flickered several times.
No one knew what he was thinking.
The existence within the Genius Battlefield is so terrifying that even the meticulous concealment of strength by Jia Yan, whom he believed was flawless, could not escape the notice of a Semi-permanent Star Level Expert.
However, the other party did nothing and merely observed Jia Yan silently, unknown to everyone else.
Jia Yan had just arrived at the Wu Ci Power and had already proven his strength with an impressive performance.
But in comparison, the pig prince of the Luozi Empire wasnât so lucky.
Although he was of the Luozi Empire Royal Family, and could live within this power without proving his strength, he could not skip the necessary steps.
The result was that this high-ranking Star Space Level prince was beaten into a pigâs head by a Dignitary.
Of course, he was originally a pigâs head, but it should be said that the original pigâs head had now doubled in size, and the already ineffectual brain seemed even more foolish.
âBuddy, do you think that guy looked down on me too much?
He even said he wouldnât beat me up out of respect for you.
Itâs too much!
It looks like I need to seriously cultivate, and then surpass him.
I wonât stop until I get my revenge!â
Jia Yan silently cultivated in the space assigned to him.
However, he was quite annoyed by the complaints of the Luozi Empire prince heard by his sensitive hearing.
âAlright, Jing Luo, if you want to cultivate, just go.
Wasting time here wonât help; others are getting stronger and youâll never catch up,â Jia Yan eventually couldnât help but advise him.
âOh, oh, youâre right that makes sense.
Iâm off now, sigh, bro, youâre diligent.
Look at you already cultivating, off I go, just off I go.â
Jing Luo awkwardly stumbled, rolling off toward his own living area.
Despite seeming heavily injured, his thick skin and flesh made it appear as if he was unharmed.
Jia Yan chuckled, then began to consider some issues about becoming stronger.
Donât think cosmic strongmen donât need to cultivate.
But this cultivation is very different from what Earth people understand.
In fact, most of the cosmic strongmanâs cultivation is focused on âthinkingâ, such as how to strengthen their bodies, which part should be mainly strengthened, what benefits that part will gain when enhanced, what role those benefits would play when killing enemies, and what effects would those actions causeâŠ
And so on and so forth; thereâs a lot to think about, and the truth is no strongman can haphazardly conceive a massive strongman system out of thin air.
Even Jia Yan cultivates based on the system of the galaxyâs warrior civilization because, without it, not in a billion years could he have devised such an extensive strongman system and method of combat.
Just as Jia Yan was sending Jing Luo away and about to reconsider the battles he had experienced in these past few daysâŠ
âJia Yan, my name is Behalf, could you come to see me?â
A very low voice reached Jia Yanâs sensitive ears.
