Chapter 2134 - 4: Just You Guys?

A group of Stellar Subordinates, including Wu Da, flew out.

Before coming to this starfield, back at the Stellar Academy, each one was a top genius at the academy. Even if they weren’t at the top, they were definitely not lacking in strength. So when facing creatures of the same level, they weren’t afraid at all; in fact, they believed they should win.

But as Wu Da flew towards the incoming subordinates of Jia Yan, his demeanor grew more and more grim.

Finally, the two sides were just over 300 kilometers apart.

"Haha, Wu Da, you’ve chased us for so long; today is the day you meet your doom."

On this side, Tian Niu Lang and others were equally relaxed. To them, the opponents were ones they had fought several times before. However, their strength hadn’t improved, whereas theirs had increased significantly. So what possibility was there of losing?

"Just you guys? This has to be a joke, right?"

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. The losers actually dare to boast. Who was it last time that barely escaped from us by the skin of their teeth?"

Wu Da’s subordinates all burst into laughter.

But Wu Da himself, upon getting this close, suddenly underwent a profound change in expression.

"This... isn’t good, their strength..."

Wu Da’s eyes suddenly widened.

Simultaneously, a few of his subordinates also noticed something unusual.

"Huh? Why does their aura vaguely give me the feeling of Sir Wu Da? That’s impossible."

"What aura? Let me sense it. This group of guys, so close and yet still trying to hide their strength. We can easily perceive it."

On the other side, several subordinates continued to press on, each with a different expression.

But when one subordinate suddenly perceived the strength over here, everyone’s expression dramatically changed.

"This... Stellar Class Middle Level?"

"No way, why... is it Stellar Class Middle Level?"

"And the entire group has reached Stellar Class Middle Level, this, this, this."

After their expressions drastically changed, they finally understood why Jia Yan sent his subordinates to lead the charge.

"No need to worry. Although we don’t know how this group managed to all reach Stellar Class Middle Level, their original strength was much weaker than ours. Moreover, this promotion seems to be just recently achieved. With our Stellar Academy’s genius combat power, why should we fear them?"

"Exactly, our strength allows us to battle beyond our level. Why should we fear their existence?"

Out of confidence in their identity as ’geniuses,’ these stellar-class geniuses on Wu Da’s side, even after realizing that Jia Yan’s group had reached Stellar Class Middle Level, still believed their combat power could defeat those who had just reached this level.

After all, geniuses have the pride of geniuses. They wouldn’t act cowardly or flee in front of creatures barely surpassing them in level.

"What? They’ve all reached the same Stellar Class Middle Level as I have? They’ve actually reached the same level as their leader, so this Jia Yan..."

Wu Da, in that instant, felt his expression change even more dramatically as he glanced in Jia Yan’s direction.

He knew that compared to Jia Yan, his subordinates were far superior. But now that they had all reached Stellar Class Middle Level, he thought it unlikely for Jia Yan to have surpassed that in such a short time but quite possible to have reached the peak of Stellar Class Middle Level.

Given the Evolutionary Creature’s ability to leapfrog in battle, his current strength...

"Could he be stronger than I am now?"

"No way, that’s impossible."

Wu Da fiercely controlled his thoughts, not allowing them to veer towards Jia Yan possessing greater strength. Instead, he followed his subordinates to meet the incoming subordinates from Jia Yan’s side.

Very quickly, both sides clashed.

After all, 300 kilometers for beings of this level was akin to face-to-face proximity.

"Haha, they’re scared. These self-proclaimed geniuses really think we’re still at the same strength level."

"Heh, they’re intimidated just by sensing our newly promoted strength. If they knew how much our combat power had increased, they might just turn tail and run."

"Hey, don’t bully them too much. After all, they’re old acquaintances of ours. If we go too far, they’ll say we show no regard for old friendships."

On this side, Jia Yan’s subordinates weren’t feeling as much urgency about this incoming group of creatures, as they were well aware of their own enhanced capabilities.

"Sigh, what a pity. This group hasn’t improved much in such a long time, how dull."

"Dull? They’ve already achieved genius status. Think about how your own promotion speed was before you met Lord Jia Yan. Not regressing in strength is impressive enough. Expecting them to match our acceleration is simply laughable."

Both sides suddenly collided in an instant.

Over here, Jia Yan and the small scorpion creature were observing the distant battle.

"Wow, amazing, Daddy, Mommy."

Children just love to play, flailing their arms and legs in the sky.

"Your dad and mom truly are much stronger, but the other uncles and aunts aren’t bad either."

Jia Yan nodded slightly.

The battle between both sides was clear to him.

His subordinates were indeed performing well, but it was largely because their strength had surpassed the others by a considerable margin.

After all, they weren’t particularly gifted in combat talent, just average. The reason they could suppress the opponent’s forces in an instant was primarily because they possessed much greater strength.

"What’s going on?"

Wu Da, considering himself superior to everyone present, held back initially. But the moment he felt the battle unfolding, his expression subtly shifted.

Because in that first moment, his group of genius subordinates had two members pushed back, and another was in a deadlock with one of the weakest of Jia Yan’s subordinates.

Although the rest could resist, they appeared to be suppressed from the start.

"Their strength, although only recently promoted to Stellar Class Middle Level, seems to carry considerable combat energy for each of them. What is this energy?"

Wu Da observed the battlefield in shock.

Much like he had previously demonstrated, Wu Da was indeed a genius, reaching the pinnacle of Stellar Class Middle Level. At times, he wondered whether he could leap a level and take on a newly promoted Stellar Class High Level opponent.

So his expectations were high. Upon seeing his talented subordinates, although more talent in combat compared to the opponents, they were immediately cornered by opponents due to a unique and peculiar ability to explosively trigger some power at the first moment of engagement.

"This, this, this. Impossible."

One of the creatures fighting Luo Longsi widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Impossible? Ha, I think so too. Geniuses are indeed geniuses, managing to hold me off for so long. Mind you, I’m only using seventy percent of my power."

"What? Seventy percent, what utter nonsense. You must have triggered some latent combat power; otherwise, how could you suppress me?"

The genius creature was fuming with rage at Luo Longsi’s words.

But Luo Longsi’s actions proved otherwise.

Boom.

The sky seemed to rip apart.

A green branch-like entity shot out from the sky and entangled the Stellar Academy genius.

"This is... the speed is incredible."

The genius’s expression shifted rapidly.

Luo Longsi’s combat ability hadn’t changed much from before, but in that instant, she unleashed her full power, making this attack something truly unstoppable.

"Argh."

The green branch coiled around the Stellar Academy genius’s body, then tore...
