Chapter 2659 - 25: First Victory!
"Haha, Jia Yan, you’re quite good at shifting blame. Are you saying it’s my fault? You have quite the guts, but unfortunately, your capability, from my perspective, isn’t that commendable. How about this, I’ll pick one from my disciples and subordinates to duel with you. If you win, I’ll let you become a collaborator equal to me. By the way, there aren’t many of such collaborators, but they do exist, so you must strive hard."
The Insect Queen smiled and then pointed to a creature standing right there in the main hall.
"You, come forth."
"Yes!"
The creature pointed out by the Insect Queen was a monster resembling a snake.
However, its power was also at the initial stage of the Star River level.
Jia Yan glanced lightly, this monster seemed to possess power at the peak of the Initial Stage of Star River, not too different from Jia Yan’s current strength. Although Jia Yan was only at the high rank of Initial Stage of Star River, slightly lower, he knew that if he couldn’t defeat even such an existence with a superior tier, then the notion of being equal with the Queen was pure nonsense.
Both parties walked out of the palace where the Insect Queen resided.
The Insect Queen didn’t insist on staying and, with interest, followed them out of the palace.
Jia Yan could clearly see that the Insect Queen’s power was indeed unfathomable, but she also had a certain quirk, that is being very, very young. Although she was more than double Jia Yan’s age, it wasn’t much compared to her title as Territory Master, and even less so among the strong within such a position. One could say she was a very, very young female creature.
A creature this young reaching the level of Domain Master, albeit appearing steady, her words often reveal her youthfulness and playful demeanor.
Jia Yan was the same, often expressing ideas only young people would have or uttering words only young people would say.
Therefore, toward this Insect Queen who eagerly followed to observe whether Jia Yan was indeed the chosen creature, Jia Yan felt a deep sense of identification. Speaking and interacting with such a creature was lively and presented common ground.
"Jia Yan, are you ignoring me?"
Jia Yan looked around here and there, deliberately avoiding his opponent, stoking the opponent’s anger.
"Not at all. Your excellency is a genius, and certainly taught by Her Majesty the Queen. How dare Jia Yan ignore you?"
Jia Yan hurriedly dismissed the blame. After all, this was absolutely not the correct approach, considering both might meet under the same entity in the future, sour relations would indeed be troublesome.
"Humph, don’t mistake my Brainwave Power level for lesser and look down on me. My power is absolutely beyond your imagination, especially lately with Her Majesty the Queen’s guidance in Insect Clan’s Domain, I’ve made great advances in combat. Underestimating me would certainly end in your defeat."
The opponent remained cold as ice, unmoved by Jia Yan’s response.
Jia Yan chuckled and refrained from further words.
In truth, he did hold some disdain for the opponent. After all, he had already slain a Mid-level Galaxy Existence. Now, there appeared someone of lower realm within the Galaxy Level wanting to challenge him. Why should Jia Yan be on guard?
Of course, there was some regard for the opponent. If creatures taught by the Insect Queen truly possessed no prowess, it would indeed be disappointing.
Both flew back into the universe.
Just now, the Stellar Class High Level creature who brought Jia Yan along followed out of the palace, while lamenting that a Star River level existence was indeed distinct. When they wished to battle, it was immediate. Jia Yan, this Outsider, seemed like a guest of Her Majesty the Queen, yet they went straight into battle without lingering in the palace.
The efficiency of engaging in combat this rapidly was astonishing.
He was somewhat in awe, seemingly recognizing the vast gap between himself and a Star River level existence.
Nonetheless, this Star River High-Level Creature had reached this level and, with the Queen’s assistance, had future opportunities for promotion to Star River level. Therefore, he watched to see if there was something to be learned from the battle between the two Star River level powers.
"Your Majesty the Queen, then shall we begin."
Both Galaxy Level Powerhouses respectfully acknowledged the Insect Queen who followed them out.
The Insect Queen nodded.
Jia Yan turned back, calmly observing his opponent.
"Jia Yan, observe my moves!"
The opponent, resembling a large snake, swiftly coiled its body, arriving instantly before Jia Yan.
"Fast speed, but... seems that’s all?"
Jia Yan paused slightly, yet didn’t further belittle.
If the opponent’s level was such that it couldn’t surpass even a standard Mid-Tier Life form of Initial Stage of Star River, how could they earn the Insect Queen’s favor?
As expected, when the opponent’s body reached Jia Yan, there was a sudden movement, their attack speed sharply increased.
"Now that’s somewhat interesting."
Jia Yan was slightly surprised, then smiled.
His Giant Mosquito body retreated.
Though the opponent’s attack speed was exceedingly fast, who was Jia Yan?
His evasion speed was inherently extremely swift. During his time in Insect Clan’s Domain, he grasped abundant key information from the depths of subspace, and through this knowledge, his understanding of subspace grew increasingly profound.
