Chapter 1684: Chapter 12: I Will Expose Your True Colors
“Duo Jian, what are you talking about? Jia Yan? Could it be the opponent you didn’t see before.”
“Haha, you rember that guy, huh? I seem to recall you ntioning that he didn’t co this ti, and even if he did, you’ve progressed so quickly over the years. The opponent who was Respect Level back then might very well be just Secondary Level now, not even worth your attention!”
“That’s right, perhaps you didn’t see him before because this so-called Jia Yan saw you and was too afraid to show up, so he hid away!”
Beside Duo Jian, a group of geniuses slightly respectfully disparaged this ‘Jia Yan,’ who suddenly erged as a genius over the years.
It’s worth knowing that Duo Jian was the genius cultivated by the Stellar Academy, having spent only over ten years progressing from Respect Level to Semi-permanent Star Level. Although he is currently not considered a standout at Semi-permanent Star Level, he was still exceptionally brought to this genius exchange battle to familiarize with the situation. In the coming decades, he might beco the strongest among the Semi-permanent Star Level in the Stellar Academy.
So Seniors of the Stellar Academy even predict that Duo Jian could advance to Stellar Level within a hundred years and achieve Advancent to Eternal Star Rank with a lifespan of over two hundred years, a rare genius even within the Stellar Academy.
However, Duo Jian, who normally displays extre indifference, now seed to be hit with a Paralysis thod, and his whole body trembled slightly!
“This, this… how can he possibly reach this level! Impossible!”
Duo Jian was completely stunned.
Even with a loss of composure, he persistently watched the place where ‘Jia Yan’ was, his mouth agape as if witnessing sothing soul-shattering!
“What’s wrong?”
Just at this difficult mont for him, a Stellar Level strong one, responsible for taking care of these geniuses, arrived beside them.
This creature resembled an Earth goat but magnified countless tis.
It was Xi Fei, the Stellar Academy strong one who had previously led geniuses like Duo Jian to the Genius Battlefield for small-scale exchanges!
Xifei, having been dispatched to prepare for a Battle Star in advance, didn’t see the new Stellar Level strong one arriving at the Genius Battlefield.
Even though he received information that a new Stellar Level strong one was added to the Genius Battlefield, he didn’t pay much attention, because as previously stated, one more or one less Stellar Level strong one posed no threat to the Stellar Academy.
Seeing the Genius Battlefield protégé ‘Duo Jian’ dramatically changing his calm deanor and gazing unbelievably at a certain direction in the Genius Battlefield, Xi Fei couldn’t help but turn his head as well.
“That is…”
“Impossible!”
Suddenly, Xi Fei too showed an interminable shock!
Because he saw the opponent Duo Jian regretted the most back when he led him from the Genius Battlefield was now suddenly joining the Genius Battlefield team.
What shocked him the most wasn’t the appearance of that creature, but rather the fact that the creature once just Respect Level and not particularly terrifying, now had an overwhelming presence rivaling his own!
Stellar Level!?
“What’s happening, why is Jia Yan already at Stellar Level!?”
Xi Fei thought he had mistaken, and Duo Jian beside him thought the sa.
If it’s not a mistake, he had misidentified soone!
Otherwise, how could Jia Yan suddenly leap from Respect Level to Stellar Level in just a few years?
“Hey, isn’t that Xi Fei? Co, allow to introduce, this is the Genius Battlefield’s most formidable Monster-Level Genius of recent years. Oh, co to think of it, you t him so years ago, rember? His na is Jia Yan!”
From the Genius Battlefield, Longta keenly noticed Xi Fei and Duo Jian gazing at Jia Yan as if seeing sothing shocking and promptly understood.
He didn’t shy away from facing this old rival; instead, he amiably introduced Jia Yan to Xi Fei this ti.
“You… are you really Jia Yan? That Respect-Level being from 132 Star Zone back then!?”
Xi Fei struggled imnsely to voice this sentence.
“Senior Xi Fei, thank you for rembering . Yes, I’m indeed the Jia Yan guided by Duo Jian back then.”
The Giant Mosquito approached Duo Jian and Xi Fei, speaking while glancing at Duo Jian as if genuinely thanking him for his advice years ago.
“You… Jia Yan?… I don’t believe it! How could you possibly be Jia Yan and be faster in Promotion than ?”
With his turtle-like head, Duo Jian couldn’t accept it, shaking it while flas flickered in his eyes!
“No way, this is a Blinding thod! Your strength may have reached only Secondary Level at most because you’re not even a top genius! I harnessed top clan thods to return to the Stellar Academy and achieve top Talent; what makes your Talent stronger than mine!?”
Faced with Duo Jian’s accusations, Jia Yan shook his head helplessly.
Of course, being Stellar Level now, he need not care about this fellow from years ago.
“I want to challenge you! Jia Yan, we haven’t fulfilled our battle from back then, I want to challenge you, reveal your true nature!”
Duo Jian seed insane, daring to challenge Jia Yan, who was emanating a fearso Stellar Level aura.
“What? Duo Jian actually wants to challenge a star-level strong one, he’s gone mad!”
“Why would Duo Jian, who’s usually so calm, issue a challenge to a stellar strong one? Could this be his true nature?”
“No, wait. He called this stellar strong one… Jia Yan? Could it be that this is the sa respected-level opponent from back in the day? That’s impossible!”
The people at the Stellar Academy side couldn’t comprehend Duo Jian’s thinking at all.
However, so people from the Genius Battlefield understood Duo Jian’s reasoning quite well.
They had no choice; they also couldn’t accept Jia Yan’s ascension speed!
In just a decade, he went from respect level to stellar level, like an Earth person suddenly maturing from an infant to an adult in a year. It was an unacceptably fast growth rate.
“Duo Jian, do you really still want to challenge ?”
As Duo Jian nearly jumped around in madness, Jia Yan finally responded, albeit reluctantly.
“That’s right, I want to challenge you! How can you be at the stellar level when I, at least, need decades to achieve stellar status? What gives you the right to ascend faster than , a top-tier genius? You must have deceived others using special thods, and I want to rip off your disguise!”
Duo Jian shouted out in furious explosion.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a wave of terrifying, unparalleled brainwave power ca crashing down upon where Duo Jian stood.
Duo Jian couldn’t resist, and under the assault of the brainwave power, he spat a mouthful of blood from his turtle-like mouth, his eyes dimd imdiately, and he flew back in retreat!
“Jia Yan! What do you think you’re doing!?”
Xi Fei finally ca to his senses with shock, releasing a similarly enormous brainwave power to deflect the wave that hit Duo Jian, subsequently shielding him.
It turned out that the one who acted was none other than Jia Yan!
“This friend Duo Jian challenged , and I just responded in kind. Xi Fei, a semi-permanent star level weakling wants to challenge the dignity of a stellar level? As strong ones, we ought to punish him. You don’t think I was wrong, do you?”
“This…”
Xi Fei was left speechless because Jia Yan wasn’t wrong at all.
“Well done.”
When Xi Fei helplessly went to rescue the already unconscious Duo Jian, Longta turned his head and lightly praised Jia Yan.
Even though Duo Jian’s strength marked him as a top-tier genius, he wasn’t formidable among semi-permanent star level talents following his recent ascension. But preemptively diminishing his combat power was not a bad choice.
Jia Yan’s reasoning for his punitive action held ground. As a stellar level strong one, if he can’t even maintain a shred of dignity against any genius, it would be a disgrace to the entire stellar level team.
“Well, Jia Yan, you played dirty.”
Xi Fei stood up; even though Duo Jian’s injuries weren’t severe, they would indeed impact this genius exchange battle.
Such an impact could vary, but if this small difference in combat power caused the Stellar Academy not to win the exchange battles emphatically, it could potentially affect their plans to surpass the Genius Battlefield.
So, as one of the stellar level leaders, how could he not be angry?
“I didn’t play dirty. It was Duo Jian who issued the challenge. Do you expect to cower from battle as a dignified stellar level strong one?”
Jia Yan sneered.
“Fine, you’re not afraid of battle, right? Now, I challenge you too. After the genius exchange match, let’s have one ourselves. Dare you accept? Don’t tell you think I’m bullying a newly ascended stellar one and won’t dare face !”
Xi Fei’s aura suddenly intensified, pinning his montum directly on Jia Yan.
“Yeah, dare you hurt our Stellar Academy genius and not face the challenge from our academy’s seniors!”
“Are all you Genius Battlefield creatures spineless like this? No wonder you’d lose to our Stellar Academy!”
Beside Xi Fei, stellar-level geniuses from the Stellar Academy mocked Jia Yan to the fullest extent, seemingly presuming Jia Yan wouldn’t dare to accept the challenge.
After all, in their view, Jia Yan had just barely ascended to the stellar level, the scent of his recent ascension still quite pronounced.
He probably hadn’t even spent a year post-promotion.
A stellar level like him is barely stronger than a pseudo-stellar level, let alone when compared to established stellar veterans.
However, they were a bit surprised that Jia Yan showed no fear, and the Longta at his side also smiled faintly after glancing at Jia Yan.
“You want to challenge too? Ha… How coincidental, Lord Electric Ghost from your Expensive Star Region also challenged . One more won’t make a difference, bring it on, I accept the challenge!”
