After pondering, Zhou Yi asked, "Are there many Light Absorption Monsters in the Condensers at Mei State Prison?"

He remembered that he had not seen any Light Absorption Monsters on the side of United City.

"Not many."

"It's strong."

Jiong's answer made Zhou Yi even more confused.

"Besides accumulating Light Absorption Monsters, are there other ways to become stronger?"

"Light."

It said, "Enter the light, then you're strong."

What Jiong referred to as light, Zhou Yi spent considerable effort but still did not understand.

This was the first time there was a communication problem even under consciousness synchronization.

In the end, he accepted Xiao Fu's suggestion, transformed 200 Light Seeds into 8000 points of energy, initiated the Sea God, and used the Circumference Light Device to turn Jiong into a Fire Seed Life.

The Condenser cooperated throughout the process.

The electronic tattoo that Jiong transformed into was a silver cross star.

Through this method, Zhou Yi and the Condenser achieved an even more advanced connection in consciousness. Self-expression and complex descriptions were no longer barriers to communication; vast amounts of information were synchronized instantaneously.

Zhou Yi also transmitted part of the information about himself and the company to Jiong. Through this almost enlightening technical means, Jiong's expressive ability skyrocketed in a short time.

"Light is the eruption of Death Light."

"We Condensers can efficiently absorb the energy released by a Light Burst, which is the most important enhancement for us, second to that are the Light Absorption Monsters, which are important for steady accumulation."

"It's just that the existence of a Light Burst is very short, and although Condensers are quite fast, they cannot compare with Death Light. The first round of Light Burst will consume over 99% of the energy, and the following are just radiation reactions triggered by the first round; we find it difficult to accurately be there during the first round."

"The counterpart from Mei State Prison is called He. It had been waiting for many years in the sea area of United City and came across a Light Burst point, completely absorbed most of the energy there, and finished digesting it thoroughly, making it extremely strong."

"He's ability is a light blade, with very high instantaneous burst power and penetration power. Part of me was cut off by it."

"The place with a large number of Light Absorption Monsters was Zhi. Its ability is Melt Connection; it can directly connect with a large number of Light Absorption Monsters and use their existing energy. I can't beat it."

Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised, "Condensers have different abilities?"

"Yes, we have different developmental paths, and what path we have talent in is innate. If one forcibly advances and develops in a direction where they have no talent, it will only be counterproductive and very painful."

"What's your direction?"

"Measurement."

"I can measure the tendencies of targets."

Jiong spoke of its own talent and immediately became confident.

"By measuring the energy reactions of the target and the energy trajectories of interaction with the outside world, you can determine whether the target itself is aggressive and varied or stable and restrained. The energy trajectories around Big Buddha are intact and stable, so I trust it."

It went on to say, "In addition, I can also measure the strength of the target. Because any object that possesses energy will have an energy reaction, and the interaction with the external Death Light will form a very subtle vibration and polarized light. I can use this to measure its strength with very high accuracy."

"Like you, Chairman, I can measure that you tend toward stability and restraint, and you are trustworthy."

Zhou Yi listened even more puzzled, "Since you can measure strength, why are you fighting with the other two Condensers?"

"What I can measure is just their own strength. I knew right from the beginning that He was very strong, but I still wanted to try. Zhi specializes in using Light Absorption Monsters, which indeed exceeded my judgment..."

Jiong could measure various life forms in light form, this measurement can be done from a distance without contact.

Strength measurement, tendency judgment, these both were very useful for Zhou Yi.

Jiong lacked attack means, which is why it got beaten up everywhere in the fusion battles.

Zhou Yi suddenly thought.

"Do you want to find Light Burst?"

"Yes."

"I can't predict Light Burst, but I can find places where Light Burst is happening; is that of use to you?"

"Yes, even though there's only 1% energy left afterwards, it's still good."

Zhou Yi immediately summoned Red Kestrel and activated the satellites of United City.

The satellite map immediately marked the glowing points of the Light Bursts.

Zhou Yi synced this information to Jiong.

The Condenser immediately became excited, "There are so, so many!! If there's enough number, even subsequent reactions wouldn't make a difference! 100 would make up for a complete Light Burst! Fantastic!"

Zhou Yi then restored it from Fire Seed Life back to its original body.

The Condenser shaped like a ball of fire disappeared from the spot in an instant.

After about ten minutes.

Jiong appeared next to Zhou Yi again, its aura of light was significantly more vigorous, no longer dim.

"I absorbed two!"

"Much energy!"

"Chairman, thank you for your help! I will continue to follow the satellite to find Light Bursts!"

Zhou Yi nodded his head.

If it's useful, then good.

Zhou Yi looked at the satellite map on the remote controller's screen; every now and then, a Light Burst point would suddenly disappear, then the second after a few minutes, and then the third...

The Condenser was absorbing the residual power of the Light Bursts.

The Sha Sea Guild misunderstood that the Condenser brought the Light Burst, but in fact, it was the opposite; it was the Light Bursts that attracted the Condenser.

After the fourth Light Burst point disappeared, Jiong appeared next to Zhou Yi.

"Absorbing too much at one time, now I'm a bit indigestive."

The Light Ball Man shot a bright shockwave into the sky, which exploded into numerous silver fireworks, illuminating the pitch-black sky.

"There are many mixed forces in the Light Burst; we cannot absorb them all, only to first take them in, then discharge those parts we cannot utilize."

Jiong explained.

After it shot out more than thirty fireworks, it finally quieted down.

"Burp, that feels much better now."

Jiong then continued to collect Light Bursts.

Five days later.

Jiong appeared once again before Zhou Yi.

Strangely, it became dim and lightless once again.

"Sorry, Chairman, I can't digest and master so much energy in such a short time. I've exploded several times. Energy storage isn't my forte."

Zhou Yi: "..."

It was the first time he had encountered someone who had stuffed themselves to the point of bursting.

"In the short term, I won't be able to beat them and merge."

Jiong had faced reality: "It seems I truly have no talent for battle."

But Zhou Yi suggested another path, "Merging is for entering a higher stage of life, right?"

"Yes."

"So they don't want to merge with you because you don't have many Light Absorption Monsters and your combat strength isn't great."

"Right."

"Have you ever considered telling them that you can locate Light Burst zones at any time... You control that kind of resource and can acquire it whenever needed. You seem weak because you specialize in a different area. With time, you'll surely get stronger."

Zhou Yi patiently explained, "All they need to do is merge with you and they'll be on a fast track to growth. Do you think they might reconsider?"

Jiong was stunned for a moment.

"That makes a lot of sense... I have the backing of the company."

"Exactly, exactly!!"

"Chairman, I'll go and try."

"Wait."

Zhou Yi stopped it, "Communicate patiently and carefully, you're looking to win together through merging, not to determine winners and losers. If they still don't agree, don't force it; strength can come gradually."

"Got it."

The Condenser disappeared again.

A day and night passed.

Before it returned.

Meeting again, Zhou Yi noticed a clear difference in the Condenser. It had shrunk to the size of a human head, a ball of light wrapped in a thin layer of pale blue fire, looking serene and cold.

"Chairman, I've returned."

It was clearly in good spirits, "This time, I first went to Zhi, but it still refused. Then I went to He with the attitude of giving it a try and told it what you taught me. To my surprise, after confirming my abilities, it merged with me!"

"Now He and I are one, so I am Jiong He."

"Now I have the abilities of both Jiong and He, capable of using 'Measuring' and 'light blade.' It has a high energy storage limit, so it can absorb Light Bursts and grow rapidly."

Zhou Yi also smiled upon hearing this.

After all, it was his employee, akin to successful matchmaking, which was cause for celebration.

"Chairman, let me show you my capabilities now."

Jiong He circled in the air, targeting the Dead Sea.

Suddenly, it shot out a thin beam of green light that cleaved through the light and mist of the Dead Sea, cutting a clear path that revealed the dust and rocks on the sea floor.

The path through the sea floor slowly closed after a dozen seconds.

Zhou Yi felt a chill in his heart.

This was the first time he had seen a life form directly warp and alter the Dead Sea.

Jiong He flew beside Zhou Yi, "Chairman, this is the light blade."

"The light blade is an extreme piercing and cutting ability, an Energy State weapon capable of temporarily parting even the Dead Sea. He developed its strength over many years, though it consumes a lot of energy. Paired with my Measuring, I can make even more precise cuts."

Using "Alert," Zhou Yi saw that the Condenser's red light was rich and deep, already transitioning towards purple.

Since the combat type reconstruction, Alert's vision could now directly observe higher-level reactions of Death Light.

"Are you approaching A-level?"

"There's still a distance."

Jiong He said, "It requires the merging of three Condensers to become a Skywalker and qualify to go to the Outer Sea."

"But atmospheric creatures are hunting all over the Outer Sea, and ordinary Skywalkers aren't safe either... Those creatures are very fearsome."

"I'll continue to accumulate energy, maximize my reserves, and master using my abilities in combination before considering returning to the Outer Sea."

It was quite clear-headed.

Zhou Yi was reassured, "Then continue to search for the right Condenser, and then go to the Light Burst Zone to increase your strength."

"Yes."

Jiong He added, "But, Chairman, please give me some tasks. I feel like I've been consuming the company's resources and receiving all sorts of help and guidance from you since joining, without contributing much... I want to help out!"

"There'll be a need for you in the future."

After finishing, Zhou Yi suddenly recalled something.

There actually was a task Jiong He might be able to help with.

"A Rolex watch? Oh... it's that kind of thing... It's not far from here. My Measuring finds things the easiest. But I'm an Energy State and can't touch it directly; it would be best to have another employee accompany me."

"I'll retrieve it for you right away!"

After confirming the details of the Rolex, the Condenser vanished on the spot, leaving a trail of light pointing towards the distance.

The Lie Hai sent by Zhou Yi transformed into a shooting star and desperately pursued it.

...

In Sand Port City, at the watchtower.

Witnessing a beam of green light cutting through the Dead Sea, Lord Sha Hai uncorked a bottle of Dead Sea Aged Wine and took several hefty swigs.

Chen Jiadong, the Mayor beside him, stared at the slowly closing Dead Sea, his gaze almost blank.

"This level of capability is enough..."

"I'm going to take this gamble!"

Lord Sha Hai clenched his claw tightly and said fiercely.

"Contact Duke Beidu and Steel Refining Lord, tell them I want to discuss a joint resistance against Duke Destructive with them."

Chen Jiadong snapped out of his daze and hurriedly nodded, "Yes, my lord."
