The focus on losers is irrelevant; at Angel Camp, these undefeated teams will compete today for the top twenty places in the conference.
And the teams that make it into the top twenty, even if they don’t win another fight in the future, are destined to secure a basic quota of a hundred gathering spots...
As a force with a basic quota, Angel Camp has already gained a basic ten spots, so for both Jia Yan and Angel Camp, the future outcomes of battles don’t matter, so the pressure has decreased significantly.
"Maybe next, I’m going to get trounced too?..." Jia Yan thought.
Among the teams competing for the top twenty, more than half have mid-space Strong Ones, and in history, only twice have teams without middle-level Powerhouses made it into the top twenty.
Even if Jia Yan was confident, he, not intending to use his full strength, didn’t believe he could defeat even a slightly stronger middle-order Powerhouse.
However, Jia Yan still wanted to see where the bottom line of his eight-level strength lay, after all, this was valuable experience. In the future, he would inevitably battle to the death with these Starry Sky Strong, so getting a glance at their strength in advance...
"Alright, the competitors have entered the arena. Now let’s see, who will the top twenty forces of today fall to, and can dark horse forces like the Angel forces squeeze into the top twenty?"
"The betting counter is open, here you bet on the top twenty forces, here you bet on the dark horse forces. Come and take a look!"
The host and the clamor of the gambling counters around the field kept Jia Yan and the Strong Ones of Angel Camp in the spotlight.
The Strong Ones here knew Jia Yan and those four Angel Camp Strong Ones even better than the opponents they should be paying attention to. After all, the media had been analyzing everywhere these past few days, just how far they, weak in strength, could go; they would be strange not to be familiar with them.
"Jia Yan, right? Be careful if you encounter us later,"
"Angels of Angel Camp, you’ve come this far on the back of a hired gun, you’ve been lucky. If you run into us later, we won’t let your good luck continue,"
Passing forces either mocked Jia Yan and the others directly or looked at them coldly.
After all, this force was just too much of an eyesore. Other surprise forces either had some reputation beforehand or relied on their own abilities, but Angel Camp had simply relied on good luck, with a powerful outsider like Jia Yan knocking on their door, to get their current fame. How could others be comfortable with that?
"Don’t mind them; if we meet a strong force later, let’s test our strength. If we lose, we lose. After all, with the basic quota, we’ll be able to gather no matter what,"
The Four-eyed Monster said to the angry pink creature and the Scaled creature.
Jia Yan just coldly observed the creatures around him, sneering and mocking, without taking their words to heart.
Actually, those mocking them were just a small part. For Jia Yan, his real opponents were those who kept their cool and wouldn’t even spare Angel Camp a proper look.
Because no matter how famous, strength is strength. The Powerhouses of such forces are almost all mid-space Strong Ones, and they look at Angel Camp like it’s a joke.
It wasn’t long before the battle list for the competition was distributed.
The Four-eyed Monster’s expression changed immediately.
"It seems our good fortune has come to an end here," he said with a bitter smile.
Jia Yan looked at the battle list and was also slightly astonished because their opponent was none other than this conference’s strongest team, a team known as ’Zeji Team’.
This team was well-known among the creatures of this Galaxy. They were very active in the intermediate space, and because they had two members who might reach the level of High-space Level Strong Ones, this force’s future was very promising.
"Two people who even the Mid-Star-Phase Referee admits are powerful figures?"
Seeing this data, Jia Yan felt a bout of disheartenment.
Such beings were essentially unbeatable for him now, unless he unlocked all his fighting capabilities and used the Bluish defense.
And it was impossible for Jia Yan to unleash all his battle abilities in such a competitive situation.
So, he could only lose!
"Come on, don’t be so disheartened. It’s just one loss. Just win a couple more battles in the following fights,"
The Four-eyed Monster consoled the others.
Actually, getting this far had already exceeded their expectations. They didn’t care about winning or losing.
"The first battle begins."
The battle on the stage began, but the first to start were the defeated group’s battles. As for the battle to determine the top twenty, it naturally was the finale.
Jia Yan glanced at the battle on the stage, then no longer watched.
He immersed himself in his own world. In fact, most of the time over the past few days, he had been in this state.
For Jia Yan, his battle strength had only improved so much during these days because his entire focus was immersed in thinking about True Energy.
The more he understood True Energy, the more he realized the strength of the seniors of this Galaxy, how long and how many Pioneers it must have taken to develop such a potent method of promotion!
"True Energy even roughly corresponds to the gravitational waves I’ve experienced, and has some relation to the space the flying machines used to shuttle through. I’ve experienced both feelings and can even describe them now."
