"He was so strong in the early stage, if he got promoted to the middle period..." the Strong One stared in disbelief and uncertainty.
But what he didn’t know was that Jia Yan had already estimated his own potential. There wouldn’t be a ’middle period’ for him, as he was an Evolutionary Creature. With just one more evolution, he would become a True Strong One, immensely formidable even among the stars.
’Pinnacle of Star Space Power!’
At that time, the true terror of Jia Yan’s Evolutionary Creature would be revealed. The higher the level, the more terrifying it became. By then, he might even suppress the Strongest here and reach the level of the top ten Strong Ones!
Jia Yan’s attack didn’t taper off as the spectator below had thought. Instead, it showed no sign of slowing down and he launched his fiercest assault upon the horse-shaped monster before him.
The monster was gripped by fear at that moment and viciously counterattacked. It knew its own stamina might not compare to that of Jia Yan’s Flying Monster, so it frantically launched a counteroffensive, betting everything on a direct retaliation against Jia Yan!
Under Jia Yan’s assault, its body violently retreated to nearly the edge of the arena.
And in the moment the horse-shaped monster was distracted by looking backward!
A sharp gleam suddenly lit up in Jia Yan’s Compound Eyes.
An attack, encapsulating the combat techniques he had studied recently and his intuitions about fighting in this starry space, hammered down fiercely.
"No good!" A look of terror suddenly flashed in the eyes of the horse-shaped monster. It raised its head to ward off the vicious attack.
But Jia Yan’s blow traced a peculiar trajectory, bypassing the monster’s hard head and piercing its neck!
"Hmm?" Jia Yan was shocked to score a hit.
Because the anticipated intervention from the Mantis Referee didn’t happen!
His attack had drawn blood directly.
Blood spurted from the horse-shaped monster’s neck.
In his surprise, he looked back to find the belated Mantis Referee arriving. Seeing the referee’s eyes, he understood just how dreadful it was to offend the official in the arena.
"Alright, my mind wandered. My mistake, your injury will be compensated according to the tournament’s terms. This match, Jia Yan wins."
The Mantis Referee briefly examined the wound and spoke lightly.
"You!" The monster, filled with a surge of anger, felt like bursting but restrained itself.
"Don’t be cocky, kid. This wasn’t a real fight. If it were, I definitely wouldn’t lose," the monster said bitterly to Jia Yan.
"Oh, really?" Jia Yan mocked in the same teasing tone.
"You..." The monster was almost spitting blood. It was used to ridiculing others, but now it was being ridiculed in turn.
While they exchanged a few words, the sidelines and the audience seats were already in uproar.
The spectators saw Jia Yan resisting this Strong One, but no one had imagined this Strong One could actually be defeated by a powerful Mid-term Star Space Powerhouse!
Now that it actually happened before their eyes, they couldn’t believe what they saw.
"That member of Zeji Team, I met him before. He directly subdued a battle in one territory. Several Early Stars surrendered right away at his arrival. Such a powerful being, to lose here against an Early Star?"
"It’s against the heavens, truly against the heavens! This Jia Yan, to even defeat such a level of Mid-term Star Space Powerhouse, has utterly surpassed a Dragon Strong in combat talent. Earlier reports of him drawing with a Dragon Strong were praises, to think that Dragon Strong Star didn’t get annihilated by this Jia Yan in one hit, that Dragon Strong was certainly a formidable Early Star."
"Oh, oh, the victor is our underrated Jia Yan! This, this, this..."
The host was speechless again. His commentary had a slight bias against Jia Yan, and Jia Yan’s continued victories were like slaps to his face. Now it was even more astounding; Jia Yan had defeated a powerhouse who might be as strong as the host himself.
"Alright, look, the members of Zeji Team are causing a stir. The first two powerful members are standing up, oh! The second member, he’s entering the stage!"
Jia Yan looked back. A Strong One from the seats of Zeji Team appeared, seemingly eager to quickly destroy him.
A different color flickered in his Compound Eyes.
This Strong One was definitely immensely powerful, appearing much stronger than the previous horse-shaped monster by a significant margin.
If he were to fight him, even if Jia Yan unleashed all his Combat Energy, winning was not certain.
"I concede." Just as all the spectators, the Strong Ones at the sidelines, and even the Strong Ones from Angel Camp thought Jia Yan, who never backed down from any enemy, would choose to fight, he declared his surrender!
"You’re conceding? Are you sure?" The Mantis Referee was also stunned, thinking Jia Yan wasn’t the type to concede.
"I’m sure," Jia Yan responded calmly.
Then he slowly flew towards the direction of the Angel Camp’s seats.
"Cowardly little bastard, aren’t you strong? Come and fight me! Coward." Seeing Jia Yan concede, the monster raged frustratedly from behind.
