The Zeji Team was indeed defeated by Jia Yan with two straight victories; he, as one of the two strong ones in the Zeji Team, only appeared now to regain some face. Unexpectedly, Jia Yan actually conceded!?
His full combat intent was extinguished, and it was odd if he was not furious!
His body moved, ready to charge towards Jia Yan.
"He has already conceded, please do not make a move." A gust of wind sounded, and the Mantis Referee flew to his front, directly blocking his way.
"Hmph!" His opponent, with a cold demeanor, snorted once and stepped down from the ring.
This presence, although still inferior to the Mantis Referee, was not very far behind, and, backed by strong support, naturally dared to show disrespect.
"Alright, this match between the Zeji Team and Angel Camp, Zeji Team wins." The referee, not very angry at the hubris of the Zeji Team, given that he had previously pulled a fast one on them, naturally would not continue to say anything unfavorable about them, and directly announced the result of the battle.
"Angel Camp lost, but that’s normal. If they had managed a surprise win against the Zeji Team, that would have been abnormal."
"However, that Jia Yan was able to defeat a strong mid-term Star Space Powerhouse and seemed not to fear the lords who would come on stage later. He absolutely had the strength to fight."
"Stop joking. How could Jia Yan possibly affect Lord Ke Wei, who is next? He is only at the Middle Period of Star Space Level. Even among those at the Middle Period, Lord Ke Wei is incredibly strong. Comparing Jia Yan to him is just like comparing a firefly to the Bright Moon."
The debate continued in the spectator seats. Some among them admired and were surprised by Jia Yan’s combat power. Others still scoffed at it.
However, no matter what, the Angel Camp, facing a force potent enough to vie for first place, still managed to defeat several of its strong ones, even defeating a regular member, which significantly raised almost everyone’s impression of Angel Camp.
Yet, a loss was a loss, and for Angel Camp, its proud winning streak came to an end.
"Alright, you’ve done your best, I know."
These words were softly spoken to the leaving Jia Yan by the Four-eyed Monster from Angel Camp.
Jia Yan just nodded his head. Perhaps these beings from Angel Camp were somewhat uncomfortable about his lack of persistence towards the end. However, he could not possibly expose all his strength here.
This was not his true battlefield!
In the following days, the previously flourishing Angel Camp, even once a hot topic, faced consecutive defeats.
Jia Yan’s magic seemed to no longer work; his battles also lacked their former miraculous nature.
Some people figured out why, because Jia Yan, among all the participants, wasn’t all that outstanding. Even though his combat power at the beginning did surpass the general early-stage Star Space Powerhouses, and even some mid-term powerhouses, he was, after all, still an Early Star Space Powerhouse. For him, a decline in strength after prolonged fights was normal.
This increased the pressure on the other strong ones in Angel Camp, but without Jia Yan’s powerful ability to punch above his level, Angel Camp changed from a continuous winning miracle to a joke.
"Tomorrow is the final match, and they are much weaker than we are; we can definitely win this one."
Inside the resting area for Angel Camp’s players, the Four-eyed Monster gathered all the members and made his statement for the final day.
Yes, this was already the last phase of the tournament.
In this process, Angel Camp experienced an initial dazzle, followed by mockery, and then oblivion.
The competition history of Angel Camp, looking just at the initial period, indeed deserved a feature and could even be a major story this year. However, their later battles were somewhat disappointing.
It had a sense of being impressive at first but fizzling out towards the end.
"This battle turned out this way; we have a responsibility. We put too much pressure on you, Jia Yan." Though clearly not one of us from Angel Camp, we depended on you a lot. I thank you here," said the Four-eyed Monster, looking at Jia Yan with some genuine emotion.
He was really considering, at this point, recruiting this formidable Early Star Space Powerhouse under his command.
As one of the highest authorities in this Starry Sky, and belonging to Angel Camp, he had the right to attract a Star Space Level Expert, or rather, if a Star Space Level Expert were to join, the headquarters would be more than pleased.
"No need to thank me; I was simply fulfilling my duty as an external aid."
It was the last day, yet Jia Yan gave them a sense of distance.
The last day’s meeting should have brought them closer. However, the beings of Angel Camp felt that after Jia Yan helped them achieve their goal, that is, to secure a basic quota right, not only did his performance in battles worsen, but his relationship with them also gradually cooled.
"Hehe, anyway, your contribution was significant. We definitely won’t short-change the reward we promised you," the Four-eyed Monster also became somewhat indifferent. As the highest leader of Angel Camp, how could he not see that Big Mosquito seemed to have other desires? Yet up to now, he still did not know what the other party wanted.
After the meeting was over,
"Jia Yan, wait a moment," a voice came from behind as the voice sounded.
