Chapter 1370: Chapter 23 Upgrade! [Request for official subscription]"Hmph, three years from now? Three years from now, I am destined to be promoted to the Secondary Level as a top-level genius. What does Jia Yan have to challenge me? Forget it, I’ll spare him this time, but three years from now, when he sees me, he’ll only act like a Retractable Turtle."
Upon hearing Xi Fei’s words, Duo Jian shook his head in resignation.
The entire team wouldn’t change just because of him. After all, they were all geniuses, and Duo Jian himself had not yet reached the level of a top genius. No one would accommodate him.
The Stellar Academy team simply departed this way.
Except for Duo Jian, who bore some regret, all the other geniuses of the Stellar Academy had made gains. This time, during what was called an ’exchange,’ they collectively killed five high-level geniuses from the Genius Battlefield, at the cost of one Respect Level dignitary from their own side being killed and two top geniuses being severely injured.
This could be said to be an outstanding completion of their mission. Countless geniuses from the Genius Battlefield were unhappy with the results, but since the geniuses were inferior, there was nothing they could do.
However, in the entire battle, the most astonishing figure was none other than the genius who had ’killed’ a Respect Level dignitary of the Stellar Academy.
Jia Yan—this name was utterly unfamiliar to the people of the central star district of the Genius Battlefield. Some even went to investigate and found that Jia Yan was actually from an extremely remote star zone of the Genius Battlefield. Moreover, the Respect Level dignitary genius of the Stellar Academy killed by Jia Yan had died in the border star area.

However, Jia Yan had previously speculated that such an ascension approach carried numerous hidden risks—for instance, a body that doesn’t absorb any energy could potentially deteriorate and die. Additionally, without the absorption of energy, the power would not improve much, condemning him to years of being a Retractable Turtle prior to directly ascending to Stellar.
Another key point was that Jia Yan discovered that his evolved beast body could compress energy from the outside world to a certain degree within his form. So why not employ this method?
"Such a good approach, and yet I never realized it before!" After some experimenting, Jia Yan was shocked to discover that his body could quite easily store externally derived energy.
This energy attached itself to the surface of his cells. Though it wouldn’t serve as nutrients for his body to break through to the next level, it undoubtedly boosted Jia Yan’s power.
"Come on, compress!"
Jia Yan felt as though he had stumbled upon a new frontier, continuously channeling energy into his body.
Though he hadn’t uncovered this prior, Jia Yan understood that his previous self simply couldn’t achieve this feat of storing energy—because his Brainwave Power lacked the precision to manipulate such detailed operations.
"This... this..."
Jia Yan grew increasingly astonished as he stored more energy.
Not long later, this storage approach finally maxed out, as he could no longer control his Brainwave Power to compress further.
However, Jia Yan didn’t feel discouraged at all. Instead, he remained utterly amazed and slowly stood upright within the cultivation room...
"Now I understand why the evolutionary creature race left behind such terrifying ancient records. Even the civilizations of the Orion Arm, upon discovering evolutionary creatures, immediately seek to kill them."
Jia Yan lamented. Previously, he had thought that the advantages lay solely in the evolved beast’s physical capabilities or Brainwave Power. But today, he realized he had greatly underestimated this race.
"My body can actually store energy... The true function of Condensation Fluid is this!"
Jia Yan was shocked. Even though he had been the one to initiate the energy storage method, witnessing its effects firsthand rendered Jia Yan utterly speechless—he could only curse inwardly at how unbelievably favored the evolutionary creature race had been by the heavens.
Within the cultivation room, waves upon waves of uncontrollable energy fluctuated wildly.
These surges occurred as Jia Yan spread the energy throughout his body, rendering it temporarily unstable.
"Has Lord Jia Yan made another breakthrough? What terrifying energy fluctuations!"
Outside Jia Yan’s cultivation room, Xiaoya, a mermaid-like being who had been ’absorbing’ the ambient energy, sensed this wave and silently shook her head in astonishment.
Being around Jia Yan, she now realized how foolish she had been for ever daring to ridicule Lord Jia Yan.
She may not have known the exact level of breakthrough Jia Yan had achieved within the cultivation room, but she understood that Jia Yan had once again enhanced his strength. For someone who had already defeated several legendary geniuses she once idolized, the fact that she had mocked him before was, as her servant instructors had put it, sheer idiocy.
Both externally and internally, Xiaoya no longer bore even a hint of animosity toward Jia Yan.
