Preparing for the Genius Battle, Cooperating with Babata

Dressed in white, Chen Yi stood atop the Sky-Escaping Shuttle... On the other side, Luo Feng, dressed in black, likewise stood atop the Sky-Escaping Shuttle.

The two stood guard over the entire river and its mouth.

Across the surface of the water,

bright red blood spread.

A dozen or so Lord-level Monsters were nowhere near enough for Luo Feng and Chen Yi to kill.

Below, the troops were inspecting and repairing the laser cannons, while gaze after gaze fell on the two figures high in the sky.

The sight of the two slaughtering Lord-level Monsters when they had first arrived

had already demonstrated their strength.

Word had also spread among the soldiers: the two recently renowned geniuses in the sky had already reached the realm of Beyond War God!

"Eighteen years old, and already Councilor Level..."

"This...!"

Li Dawei sat in the command room, watching the situation on the screen. He had already reported the news to his superiors.

He felt that such outstanding geniuses

were people they had to befriend.

The Military's business was soon taken care of.

With so many engineers inspecting and repairing the laser cannons, it would hardly take any time at all... Once the laser cannons were guarding the area, there would be no further need for Chen Yi and Luo Feng to intervene.

The Prehistoric-Class Fighter Jet

landed on an uninhabited island.

Afterward, Luo Feng and Chen Yi took turns diving into the sea to hunt sea beasts, bringing them back to the island one after another.

Luo Feng was currently hunting monsters beneath the sea.

On shore, Chen Yi controlled the blades of the Sky-Escaping Shuttle, cutting the sea beast carcasses into pieces small enough to fit into the Myriad Beasts Blood Refining Pool, which was only two meters in diameter.

Piece after piece of energy-rich flesh

was completely crushed, along with scales and bones, amid a series of grinding crunches. Special solvents inside the Myriad Beasts Blood Refining Pool rapidly drew out the monsters' energy essence, gathering it bit by bit.

The entire device required no energy supply. The Blood Refining Pool operated by directly consuming the energy in the monsters' flesh and blood essence.

Large amounts of discarded flesh were dumped into the sea.

It could hardly be called garbage... It was residue left after most of the energy had been extracted from the flesh, and it could be broken down again within the ecosystem.

"The amount of Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts condensed depends on size. The larger the sea beast, the more Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts it can produce."

"By my estimate, a single exceptionally large Planetary Level First Stage sea beast could probably produce several milliliters of Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts."

Yes, an estimate.

It had yet to be verified, because extraction and conversion in the Myriad Beasts Blood Refining Pool also took time...

Over the past few hours, the Myriad Beasts Blood Refining Pool had refined what was estimated to be less than six milliliters of Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts. Even so, that was quite good. After all, one milliliter of Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts could bring a High-level War God into the Planetary Level First Stage in just a few hours.

The process was just a little heavy on the "sea beasts"!

Late at night,

the island was piled high with sea beast carcasses, enough to keep the Myriad Beasts Blood Refining Pool busy for some time...

By now, the Myriad Beasts Blood Refining Pool had condensed 21 milliliters of Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Most of Earth's creatures lived beneath the sea, so there was still an ample supply of sea beasts... And the Blood Refining Pool was not picky about their realm. Even Apprentice First Order sea beasts could be condensed into Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts, as long as there were enough of them and their carcasses.

Chen Yi smeared some of the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts over his body.

The pure energy instantly surged into his body. Chen Yi had previously used Dragon Blood and the Millennium Apricot Fruit, and as he continued to absorb and refine them afterward, his physical fitness as a martial artist had already reached the High-level War God realm.

Now that energy was still rapidly improving his physical fitness.

"Hiss..."

"This feeling is like when I used Dragon Blood, but... this is far more formidable than Dragon Blood." Chen Yi felt the rapid growth of the Genetic Origin Energy in his body.

The absorption efficiency of the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts

was much greater than that of Dragon Blood. Dragon Blood would leave residue in the body, while the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts actively stimulated absorption by the cells, leaving no residue whatsoever. It was perfect absorption.

Moreover, the energy of the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts could also be absorbed to increase Spiritual Force. However, when Spiritual Force was being increased, terrifying roars would sound deep within the sea of consciousness, tormenting the soul's consciousness and will. That energy would also be rapidly replenished, allowing the body to absorb it.

At that moment, Babata was monitoring Chen Yi's body in real time. He discovered that both Chen Yi's Spiritual Force and Genetic Origin Energy were rising rapidly...

Several hours passed.

The sky was beginning to brighten.

Chen Yi finally absorbed every last bit of the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts' energy. His realms as both a martial artist and a Spirit Reader broke through to the Planetary Level Second Stage.

The process had taken him only a few hours.

He had even made a good deal of progress within the Planetary Level Second Stage. However, from here on... the amount of Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts needed for each subsequent Planetary Level stage would also increase rapidly, but that was nothing.

There were plenty of sea beasts on Earth.

Besides,

after entering the Planetary Level as a martial artist, Chen Yi had also successfully gained a special ability upon breaking through to the Planetary Level.

Whenever he activated it, his skin would gradually glow green. He did not know what the ability was called, but judging by its green energy and its effects... Chen Yi could tell it was an ability with a wood-attribute inclination.

It seemed to accelerate the body's healing and improve his own energy absorption efficiency.

As soon as Chen Yi opened his eyes,

Luo Feng noticed that he had finished cultivating.

He asked Babata,

"Babata, how is it? How strong is Chen Yi now?"

"Now... Chen Yi has reached the Planetary Level Second Stage as both a martial artist and a Spirit Reader." With the facts before him, even Babata had to admit it.

For someone at the Planetary Level, this Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts was indeed much more useful than Wood Bud Crystal. After all, the main effect of Wood Bud Crystal was evolution, and it was meant for plant life.

Of the items Babata knew, Azure Wave Marrow was the best for improving someone at the Planetary Level...

And the effects of this Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts were equally astonishing.

"But it's nothing special. All it does is help accumulate some energy and save a little time. In the later stages of cultivation, what matters is Law Comprehension. What your teacher left you is more than just that," Babata said stubbornly.

Through Luo Feng's perspective, Chen Yi could hear Babata's words.

He thought Babata was right, too.

Law Comprehension was also important.

If they wanted better results in the Genius Battle, even though this Genius Battle had two places in the Primal Secret Region, Luo Feng and he would both need to be able to defeat Bolan if they both wanted a place. Only then could they both compete for the Primal Secret Region's training places.

Their current progress was nowhere near enough.

If I want to grow stronger, I need points, or the person I'm raising remotely needs good talent.

Babata will certainly train Luo Feng, but if Hong levels up slowly, the points I receive from him as rewards will also be fewer.

It's like the dividends from a stock growing more slowly.

So... to make the most of Babata's resources, I need to cooperate with him.

Prepare for the Genius Battle.

Coordinate the allocation of resources and develop rapidly as a group.

And so,

using his behind-the-scenes identity as "Senior Yun," Chen Yi spoke directly through Luo Feng's Communication Watch:

"Little fellow called Babata."

"You're a bit too dull-witted. If this is how you train him, how is your Meteorite Ink Star supposed to grow stronger? No wonder you don't even dare think of using Reverse Time and Space to resurrect Hu Yanbo..."
