[Please Subscribe to the Official Version] âHmm, this really is some good stuff.
I can feel my Respecter Strength slowly increasing, but the power dissipates too slowly, it will probably take many days to fully digest.
The effect is not as strong as the substances Iâve Devoured before.â
That sweet taste still lingered in Jia Yanâs mouth, savoring it endlessly.
It had been such a long time since his True Body had tasted something so delightful; truth be told, Jia Yan wanted more.
The rewards for the champion of the Star Area Respecter in Genius Battlefield must be no trivial matter; Jia Yan desired it, but he didnât know what price heâd have to pay.
Just as Jia Yan had finished ingesting the substance and was uncertain of the final effect, Lord Bi Huangfuâs voice sounded from outside his door.
âJia Yan, come to the council hall.â
The otherâs tone had cooled, seemingly using a commanding tone.
Jia Yan smiled and walked out of the room without taking it too seriously.
He arrived at the council hall â the largest hall within the Battleship, but even so, it could only accommodate the Secondary Powerhouses and above.
Jia Yan saw several Strong Ones and Lord Bi Huangfu were all present.
âJia Yan, we have discussed it briefly, and in fact, what you did was not wrong.
As long as we work hard to make you stronger, the results wonât be worse than getting Star technology.
After all, the Strong Ones are the foundation of a force,â Lord Bi Huangfu seemingly understood and said this to Jia Yan.
âMm, good that you understand.
In the future, I will reciprocate and help Wu Ci Power,â Jia Yan nodded, though whether he meant it or not was another matter.
âJia Yan, the substance youâve obtained this time, I can guess itâs the Star Core, which is somewhat useful even for Secondary Powerhouse.
I think you alone wonât be able to use that much, how about sharing some with them?
If everyoneâs overall strength improves, it would be the most beneficial for Wu Ci Power, right?â Lord Bi Huangfu said with a smile.
âEh,â Jia Yan immediately realized what the other party was up to.
But at the same time, he found it somewhat amusing.
Lucky for him that he acted quickly, otherwise who knows how much of his Star Core would have been shared.
So, rather nonchalantly, he shook his head: âLord Bi Huangfu, Iâd like to share the Star Core too, but you shouldâve told me sooner.
Just now in my room, Iâve already Devoured the whole Star Core.â
âImpossible!â As soon as Jia Yan finished speaking, a Secondary Powerhouse Monster at the side blurted this out.
Fierce flames flickered in his eyes as he looked at Jia Yan: âJia Yan, as a Respecter, how could you possibly digest so much Star Core?
If youâve eaten it, you would have exploded by now, right?
Iâll tell you, I feel like Iâm about to have a breakthrough.
If you give me a thirdâŠ
no, half of the Star Core, I might be able to break through to Semi-permanent Star Level.
That way, Wu Ci Power can have another Semi-permanent Star Level powerhouse.
Donât let personal gains harm the interests of the whole force.â
âThatâs right, Jia Yan, we are all on the brink of advancing due to our long cultivation.
If you could spare some Star Core, then our strength would improve.
For the future of Wu Ci Power, itâs a good thing.
So, donât tell us that you actually have the capability to Devour that Star Core!â
Another Secondary Powerhouse also pressured Jia Yan with an icy tone.
Knowing that Jia Yan had fallen out with the Wu Ci Powerâs strongest Leader, Lord Bi Huangfu, these Secondary Powerhouse who already had a general disdain for Jia Yan, now wanted a share of the Star Core as well.
They also thought that since Jia Yan had made such a big blunder, it was possible that other forces would soon come to poach him.
Rather than letting the poaching forces benefit, they thought it would be better to use righteousness to make Jia Yan give up part of the Star Core now.
But their plans were about to fail.
Because Jia Yan had truly Devoured the Star Core.
Even if one had immense Strength, it was impossible to vomit something that had been eaten and then offer it to others to eat, right?
Even if it were really possible to regurgitate it, it wasnât certain that others would be willing to swallow their pride and eat it.
âEveryone, I really did eat it.
If you donât believe me, you can try Energy Sensing,â Jia Yan said helplessly, shaking his head.
âHmm?
Youâre still stubbornly sticking to this point, I told you itâs impossible for a Respecter to consume that muchâŠ
Huh!â
The previously impatient Secondary Powerhouse used his Brainwave Power, only to stop short in shock.
âYou, how could you really have Devoured that much of the Star CoreâŠâ
Another Secondary Powerhouse also noticed something different about Jia Yan.
After probing with Brainwave Power, he exclaimed with shock.
Even Lord Bi Huangfu, after checking, was taken aback as if he had drawn in a breath of cold air in astonishment.
You should know that swallowing so much Star Core in one go, a normal Lord Level Respecter would find it impossible to do, even for a Secondary Powerhouse, using a large amount of Star Core at once would be an extremely painful process.
But Jia Yan, after swallowing so much Star Core, was still completely unaffected, which was utterly astonishing.
âI told you already, I have Devoured it, but you didnât believe me.â Jia Yan shook his head, then he looked at each high-ranking member of Wu Ci Power dumbfoundedly and asked indifferently: âSince thereâs no way to undo this, Iâll be going back now.
Sorry, if thereâs a reward next time, Iâll remember to save some for you.â
Of course, if youâre quick enough to catch up.
Jia Yan added to himself inwardly, and then he left the council hall.
The several Secondary Powerhouses behind Lord Bi Huangfu were at a loss for words for a long time.
âEveryone, as you can see, Iâve done my best.
If thereâs anyone to blame, itâs that this Jia Yan is just too abnormal,â said Lord Bi Huangfu, looking at the somewhat unwilling Secondary Powerhouses, then added helplessly.
âIndeed, who would have thought that he, a Respecter, could Devour so many Star Cores and still seem unaffected.
This child is truly defying the heavens.
Iâm just afraid that weâve left a bad impression on him this time, and he might hold a grudge against our Wu Ci Power in the future.
After all, he isnât one of the Strong Ones that traditionally come from within our powerâs domain,â expressed another Secondary Powerhouse with some concern.
âNo need to worry.
His performance this time was so exceptionally against the natural order that other powers will definitely come to invite him.
Otherwise, why do you think I had that attitude towards him before?
Sadly, all I did was offend him and gained nothing,â Lord Bi Huangfu took over the conversation and gave the reason for his change of attitude towards Jia Yan.
As it turns out, the high-ranking members of Wu Ci Power gathered here all believed that Jia Yan wouldnât stay with Wu Ci Power for long.
As expected.
Just when Jia Yan returned to his room and slowly neutralized the Power of the Star Cores, and in just a short day, felt his strength had surged by one percentâŠ
âJia Yan, thereâs someone looking for you on the communication channel.â
Jia Yan heard a somewhat unnatural voice ringing inside the room.
This was the voice of a Secondary Powerhouse.
Jia Yan was taken aback and followed the otherâs instructions to connect to the communication channel.
âHello, Jia Yan, weâve met once before, do you remember me?â
On the opposite side of the communicatorâs holographic image was a Monster resembling a tiger, giving off a benign smile that seemed very serene to Jia Yan.
âHmm, I remember.
May I know why you are looking for me?â Jia Yan responded and then asked somewhat puzzledly.
He recognized the other as a powerful Semi-permanent Star Level Strong One, so he showed some respect, though as for where he had met him before, who knows?
The other party clearly didnât mind whether Jia Yan truly remembered him or not, nodding with some kindness, and looked at Jia Yan as if he was looking at a Junior.
âSurely a formidable genius, you even remember me who shares but a fleeting acquaintance with you.
Jia Yan, you performed exceptionally well in the previous Star Zone battle.
I watched your fight in the audience seat and feel that your talents are wasted in Wu Ci Power.
Would you be willing to join us in the 211 Star Zone?
I am the third Leader of Dragon can force in the 211 Star Zone.
If you join us, you will surely have better prospects than staying in Wu Ci Power.
What do you say?â
The other party spoke at length to Jia Yan.
Jia Yan paused, momentarily taken aback.
Isnât this an outright attempt to recruit him?
Wu Ci Power allows this?
After thinking, Jia Yan realized it wasnât a matter of them allowing it, but rather that they lacked the power to forbid it.
If they dared to block the channel, the other party might grow resentful towards Wu Ci Power and might even launch an attack; if not, they could still restrict or frame Wu Ci Power in certain aspects, which would be enough to overwhelm a small power like Wu Ci Power.
After these reflections, Jia Yan felt a sense of pity for the weakness of Wu Ci Power, but paradoxically, this made him even more certain of his choiceâŠ
He wanted to stay with Wu Ci Power!
Because finding a power as small as this in the Genius Battlefield is hard!
In other powers, he might be destroyed by a powerful Semi-permanent Star Level any day, but in Wu Ci Power, Jia Yan was confident that at the very least, he could escape!
So, after listening to the words of this tiger-like Monster, Mosquito straightened its head.
Then he spoke righteously, âIâm sorry, Senior, Wu Ci Power took me in when I first joined the Genius Battlefield, without looking down on me for being a newcomer.
The ancient people from my homeland have a saying, âA tiny drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude.â I havenât done anything for Wu Ci Power yet, so before I repay this kindness, Iâm not going anywhere.
Please understand!â
As Jia Yan spoke these words, the top echelons of Wu Ci Power gathered in the Battleship hall, watching the conversation between Jia Yan and the tiger-like Monster.
They felt certain that Jia Yan was going to be taken away, even if not by the tiger-like Monsterâs power, then surely the next power that would see their own as inadequate to keep him.
In short, there was no chance he would stay with Wu Ci Power.
But upon hearing Jia Yanâs ardent and just speech, Lord Bi Huangfuâs insect eyes widened in shock, and the Secondary Powerhouses were similarly taken aback!
âWh-what did I just hear?
Jia Yan said heâs not going anywhere?!â Lord Bi Huangfu stared around him, somewhat stunned.
âNo mistake, it sounds like thatâs what he said,â a Secondary Powerhouse replied, equally stunned.
âHe, he is actually willing to stay with our Wu Ci Power!â Another Secondary Powerhouse exclaimed, overwhelmed with shock.
A Respecter with boundless prospects, who had just joined the Genius Battlefield and won a Star Area Respecter award, a potential Intermediate Level Genius, was willing to stay in their little Wu Ci Power?!
âWe misjudged Jia Yan!
Such a young man, is truly a person of enormous loyalty,â they said.
Moments later, Lord Bi Huangfu at the Semi-permanent Star Level sighed deeply.
