Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito

Chapter 1266: Chapter 19 The First Among Dignitaries! [Please Subscribe to the Authorized Version]

”Impressive, truly impressive! We knew Ci Rong was formidable, but this newcomer Jia Yan is just as astonishing. Indeed, it’s a true dragon versus tiger battle. It’s as if I’m witnessing two future Lords competing for the first place in the coming sessions.”

The commentator, a Semi-permanent Star Level Expert, was on the high platform, as if injected with adrenaline, continually expressing his thoughts.

”Compete for several sessions?” Hearing this, Jia Yan almost laughed out loud.

”I’m sorry, although I really want to learn from your combat experience and your ways of applying Energy, now is not the time...” Jia Yan glanced at his opponent who kept attacking.

Then, a sudden and terrifying Power exploded from within his body!

”Let me show you 40% of my strength,” Jia Yan coldly thought to himself.

”Here it comes!”

Ci Rong across from him had been waiting for the display of that formidable Power that Jia Yan occasionally revealed during battle.

Having seen it is one thing, but facing it in person, he immediately felt that his own Power was completely inadequate!

Boom!

A sharp foreleg thrust out, striking Ci Rong fiercely.

His long arms were too slow to react – although his eyes saw Jia Yan’s attack coming, having long arms was a drawback; they were too slow!

He was struck by Jia Yan and sent flying.

At the same time, that sharp foreleg shattered the scale armor on the front of his chest. It was almost enough to pierce through his armor, potentially causing serious injury.

”Such tough Defense!”

Jia Yan was somewhat surprised. This Ci Rong was indeed the most terrifying Lord across the 215 Star Zone. His 40% strength deployed was still unable to break his defense in one strike.

”If once doesn’t work, then multiple times will!”

Jia Yan did not harbor a single thought of giving up. His body moved like a shadow, following the backward motion of his opponent, then kept hammering blows onto him.

It’s very hard to fake full strength. Jia Yan could clearly focus several attacks on one point, but to appear genuine, he purposefully spread out his attacks, and the opponent’s defense blocked his strikes again and again.

”Counterattack!”

Ci Rong was suddenly on the losing side but still made an unwilling comeback.

The entire situation of the battle changed in an instant; Jia Yan managed to suppress and launch a barrage of attacks on his opponent in one breath.

”How... How is it possible for Jia Yan’s strength to last so long? Could it be that it’s not just a burst of Power?”

”That means he never used his full strength against us before.”

Seeing Jia Yan’s current prolonged combat power, each of the Supreme Monsters that had previously fought him laughed wryly, realizing that the occasionally utilized Power was not just a burst but his actual combat power.

The reason he didn’t always use it was simply that he held them in too low regard.

”This newcomer... is too defying. He is definitely a top-tier Intermediate Level Genius, just a bit behind a High-order Genius!”

All the Lords and Secondary Powerhouses below the stage were shocked by Jia Yan’s strength, but the battle above was still raging on.

Both sides’ Powers exceeded those of ordinary Dignitaries, and Jia Yan was surprised to find that this Sickle-armed expert had also not shown his full strength until now.

”Jia Yan! You can’t beat me!”

Ci Rong roared and then his Sickle arms exploded with force, launching numerous miniature Sickles from within, each one heading straight for Jia Yan who was only inches away.

”Hmm? Quite a clever move,” Jia Yan’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t feel too panicked.

Instead, at that moment, he retreated backward, entering Subspace directly.

”How is this possible!”

Ci Rong, seeing Jia Yan dodge his strike with such an escape, was greatly shocked.

Jia Yan’s body in Subspace did not traverse the Space; he simply avoided the wave of Sickle attacks and reappeared on the spot.

Puff!

His foreleg viciously stabbed into the opponent’s chest, right into a previously struck indentation.

This time, Ci Rong’s formidable Defense couldn’t easily fend it off, and Jia Yan’s strike penetrated his body.

”Enough, I’ll spare your life.” Knowing that killing the former number one Lord would cause serious trouble, Jia Yan deliberately acted as though his foreleg was heavily obstructed, only penetrating a little before halting the Power of his thrust.

Just a little more, and that strike would have killed his opponent!

”I lose.” Even as Ci Rong felt the fear from nearly being killed, he quickly admitted defeat.

”Oh! Has... has the newcomer, this dark horse, actually won?!”

Even the commentator at Semi-permanent Star Level on the high platform was stunned, uttering words of disbelief.

The surrounding spectators were even more incredulous.

No one could believe that Jia Yan, this dark horse, would make it to the top ten. Not only did he reach the top ten, but he swept through it all the way without a single defeat, even pulling the strongest reigning King from his horse in one go?

Jia Yan was truly defying the heavens!

”Jia Yan!”

”Impressive! A newcomer has actually made it this far.”

”Terrifying. He must be at least an intermediate-level genius, right? To think our 215 Star Zone can boast yet another hopeful newcomer besides Ci Rong.”

Spectators one by one found Jia Yan’s current victory unbelievable. Some were cheering loudly, having bet on Jia Yan’s victory and, according to the odds, were about to amass a fortune.

Jia Yan, however, was rather nonchalant and did not step down from the stage.

The Semi-permanent Star Level Expert commentator descended from the high platform with one leap.

He was a noble-looking red leopard-like monster.

At this moment, he was looking at Jia Yan with a somewhat surprised expression.

”Good day, Senior.” Jia Yan bowed his head slightly in respect, knowing that this Semi-permanent Star Level Strongman might do commentary, but his power was second only to the Giant Wolf from before, ranking him as the second strongest in the entire Star Zone.

”Jia Yan, you are very impressive. I wonder if you would be interested in joining us at Er Tian’s Forces?”

The Semi-permanent Star Level Expert did not beat around the bush and directly extended the invitation to Jia Yan using a soft Brainwave Power communication.

”I’m sorry, but I have no immediate plans to leave Wu Ci Power. Of course, who can tell what the future holds?” Jia Yan first declined, then left some hope hanging, not shutting down the possibility entirely.

After all, he’d only temporarily joined Wu Ci Power; once his power was sufficient, he would travel a more formidable path in the Genius Battlefield.

”Very well, I hope you will seriously consider our Er Tian force. Wu Ci Power will only slow you down,” said the leopard monster approvingly, nodding its head, then took a step forward!

”Let’s cheer! He is the first King of this Star Zone’s Genius Battlefield and the biggest dark horse ever to emerge from our 215 Star Zone. Let us look forward to the future of this dark horse!”

”Jia Yan!”

”Well done, Jia Yan!”

Under the introduction of this Semi-permanent Star Level Expert commentator, Jia Yan was presented as the greatest genius, with grandiose acknowledgments.

Soon after, Jia Yan stepped down from the battle platform.

Within the Wu Ci Power, all the experts gazed at Jia Yan in a daze.

Whether it was the mighty Huangfu or some of the weaker Supreme Monsters, they were all stunned.

No one could have imagined this casual visit to gain experience would result in Jia Yan single-handedly securing first place among the Respect-Level Strongmen. What did this imply?

It meant that this newcomer Jia Yan was actually the most powerful figure in this Star Zone!

Keep in mind, he joined Wu Ci Power less than half a year ago.

”Jia, Jia Yan, well done!”

Upon descending from the platform, the first thing Jia Yan heard was Huangfu’s parched laughter.

At this moment, Huangfu felt as if ten thousand imaginary llamas were stampeding through his heart!

”This kid, he must be slapping me in the face, right? I told him aiming for fortieth place would suffice, and now he takes first place in one fell swoop. Isn’t this a blatant slap in my face? Insinuating my judgment was poor!”

Yet, despite feeling like cursing someone, when Huangfu actually saw Jia Yan, he found himself utterly unable to utter a single word of reproach!

This kind of face-slapping was welcome; he wished for such slaps daily.

One slap in the face could produce a genius that brings great renown to Wu Ci Power; he’d prefer to be slapped a few more times.

”Hehe, mission accomplished,” Jia Yan replied with a nod.

”Kid, you did terrifically. Wait till we get back, your reward will be substantial,” Huangfu continued.

”Thank you very much,” Jia Yan’s eyes lit up from within his Compound Eyes, as he expressed his excitement and thanks.

Resources from other Starfields may not be of much interest to the current Jia Yan, but the resources of the Genius Battlefield were greatly valued by him. Receiving some fine items would greatly assist his power.

After Huangfu had his say, he looked at his subordinates who were still dazedly fixating on Jia Yan, their monstrous faces filled with disbelief, and he couldn’t help but chuckle again.

”Okay, let’s give Jia Yan the loudest cheer. He has secured the first Respect-Level championship throne for Wu Ci Power. This is a joyous occasion for our Wu Ci Power, hahaha!”

”Oh, congratulations, Mister Jia Yan!”

”Yes, yes, congratulations.”

Dignitaries began to come to their senses and offered their congratulations to Jia Yan.

They were truly stunned. After all, in the whole of the 215 Star Zone, there had never been such an event—a genius who had just joined a power securing first place in a genius battle at the Respect-level. It was an achievement worthy of the annals.

”Thank you.”

Jia Yan responded calmly, appearing indifferent, for he knew his power far exceeded what had been seen.

If these beings knew in advance how he would perform in the coming years, they might have entirely different expressions now!

The cheers were only temporary, and the astonishment of the crowd was brief. A Dignitary would never remain the main topic in the Genius Battlefield, for Dignitaries were still too weak.

The entire arena calmed down quickly; even if Jia Yan was strong, he was still only a Dignitary.

The Semi-permanent Star Level commentator announced the continuation of the individual battles for the Secondary Powerhouses!
