The incessant praise of the Four-eyed Monster was getting too much for Tian Tian, and she quickly shifted the focus of the interview toward Jia Yan.
In reality, anyone could tell that they were specifically there for Jia Yan, but the Four-eyed Monster kept babbling on, leaving all the staff speechless.
This guy really thinks that as the leader of a minor power he’s entitled to their attention? He clearly lacks self-awareness.
"Lord Jia Yan’s oppressive aura is really different, huh? Why do I feel a distinct sense of fear as I approach the Lord!"
As Tian Tian approached Jia Yan, she immediately felt a ghastly terror wash over her.
Spare me, Jia Yan glanced at her with a stare: This sense of terror was something Jia Yan deliberately released, the oppression of a Starry Sky Level Expert.
It was simple, he didn’t want to be interviewed, nor did he wish to be interviewed by any "interstellar beauty."
"So, Lord Jia Yan, do you agree with what the Angel faction’s leader said earlier?" Tian Tian deftly changed the topic with a smile.
"I agree," Jia Yan replied indifferently.
"Oh? What are your expectations for today? Do you think the Angel Camp will still be able to go on?"
"About your victory yesterday, everyone says it was a miracle, and some say it was an absolute display of your strength. Do you think this statement is correct?"
"Well, saying it’s correct is fine, but I don’t want to comment further."
Tian Tian found herself embarrassed by the string of lukewarm responses from Jia Yan.
Jia Yan’s attitude was clearly uncooperative. This starry beauty, having interviewed so many Strong Ones, had rarely encountered such a situation.
What was even more frustrating to her was that this wasn’t a live broadcast, and she had no chance to switch topics.
"All right, I wish Lord Jia Yan continued success today. We will not disturb the Lord’s rest before the battle any further," Tian Tian’s voice became somewhat unnatural.
When the camera followed Tian Tian away, Jia Yan and the others could vaguely hear the interstellar beauty, who was named Tian Tian, shouting loudly, "Does he really think he’s some kind of Strong One? So many Middle period and peak Lords wanted to have dinner with me, and I turned them down. And this guy is pretending to be a powerhouse in front of me?"
Tian Tian huffed away, leaving behind a speechless Jia Yan and the Angep Camp’s strong ones nearby.
"I actually spoke to Miss Tian Tian."
The Four-eyed Monster completely abandoned its usual composure, constantly craning its neck to watch Miss Tian Tian as she left.
"Jia Yan, you are indeed not one of those men blinded by beauty," the Scaled creature came to Jia Yan’s side, offering a praise that baffled Jia Yan.
If that’s called beauty, it’s already good that it doesn’t wake me up in the middle of the night from fright.
Jia Yan thought speechlessly about the so-called beauty, failed to reach a solid conclusion, and finally let it be.
Meanwhile, the beauty ’Tian Tian’, during a break in the live interview, quietly stepped aside, flipped through the competition directory, then took out her communicator and dialed a number.
"It’s Tong Pi She, Lord, I’m Tian Tian. Someone just bullied me. I’m not happy, could you please teach him a lesson?"
Jia Yan did not know anything about the actions of this Outer Star beauty, nor was he aware that, indeed, an Outer Star beauty’s behavior was no different from those petty Earth girls.
At such a moment, she actually cried for her lover to intervene on her behalf.
"Alright, put away the frivolousness from just now. The second day of the competition is about to begin," said the Four-eyed Monster, as Tian Tian left, putting on a serious face and talking to the other Strong Ones.
But its image had been shattered, and it couldn’t regain its composure right away.
"The exciting second day of the competition is about to begin. Welcome, competitors, to the stage," announced the host.
Competitors entered the stage one by one.
The host on stage continued to explain energetically.
He didn’t just talk about the situation of the day’s matches, but also highlighted some Strong Ones worth noticing.
As a profitable money-sucking machine, the Pikentan species had opened official betting on the outcomes, and anyone with spare change would place bets on their favorite Strong Ones.
The competitors, based on their performance, would receive a certain amount of funds from the organizers.
This actually demonstrated that the competition had evolved from its initial objective of merely scrambling for Chaos Stones to a public event, to the point where even a weak force like Angel Camp would participate merely to boost their reputation.
"We’ve finished introducing all the teams for the competition. Now, let’s look at the big screen to see which two battling powers will face off in the first fight," the host said.
"Great! The first battle is between Dragon Bone Power and Pikenrozhou Mercenary Corps."
On the battle stage, the first two opposing forces took their places and began to fight.
The Angel Camp couldn’t always be scheduled as the first to fight, as that would be too conspicuous and unfair.
"Here’s today’s fight schedule. Take a close look. It includes the recorded fights of our opponents from yesterday," said the Four-eyed Monster.
After perusing the Smart Brain device thrown to him by the Four-eyed Monster and noticing there were no Mid-term powerhouses worth his attention in the first battle, Jia Yan shook his head, turned on the Smart Brain, and began to look through the videos and introductions.
"Hmm? This Tong Pi She is one to watch!" Jia Yan sorted through three matches before immediately recognizing the first participant from the opposition.
"This guy gave up in the third match, but it’s not because he lost, he did it to save energy and rest."
"What’s more terrifying is that this guy is a Star Space Level presence very close to the Middle period!"
Jia Yan reviewed the opponent’s battle from yesterday, and ultimately, due to the significant discrepancy in the number of competitors, the faction of Tong Pi She won by default.
"It seems that he’s the biggest enemy today," Jia Yan mused quietly. Before he knew it, his thoughts had drifted back to the battle information he had reviewed overnight.
(This book just passed two million words the day before yesterday! Hehe, it’s the first time one of my books has reached two million words since I’ve been writing for so long. Yes, Giant Mosquito two million words! Cause for celebration~~)
