Chapter 2661 - 26: Self-Doubt?
After all, Jia Yan also understands the rules. If a Stellar-level being wants to cooperate with him on equal terms, he must send his Jia Yan Squad members to fight the opponent.
Otherwise, it’s impossible to gauge the strength.
Of course, through this battle, Jia Yan also gained some understanding of the strength of this group of creatures before him.
At first glance, everything seemed to end quickly, but in reality, the opponent did cause some damage to Jia Yan.
It’s just that it might not be as severe as others might have imagined.
Jia Yan’s strength, compared to his peers or those one level below, is quite frightening.
But when facing a being just slightly lower in rank, he nearly got severely injured, which shows that the opponent’s strength should not be underestimated.
Of course, there’s a reason for all this; it’s because Jia Yan wanted to end the battle quickly. After all, if it takes more than two attacks to deal with a weaker being, then there’s no point in talking about cooperation with the Insect Clan’s Queen. He might as well come here as a subordinate or someone of even lower status.
Jia Yan wants to compete, so he must demonstrate his strength and confidence.
"Dog King, it’s your turn."
The Insect Clan’s Queen spoke calmly to a certain place in the palace, saying this directly.
What appeared was a creature resembling a giant dog.
This creature came to the outside world, glanced at Jia Yan, and seemed extremely displeased about having its cultivation disturbed.
After all, cultivating in the Queen’s palace of the Insect Clan, with top-level Domain Master beings’ Brainwave Power gathering energy, they gain great benefits and are naturally thrilled. Every Strong One who comes here is eager to cultivate.
Jia Yan also felt just now that the energy here is much stronger compared to the outside world, and cultivating here obviously speeds up the process.
Otherwise, with a battle occurring between Strong Ones, many more Strong Ones would casually come to observe at least using Brainwave Powers. Yet, in reality, not too many were paying close attention, only observing with minimal effort since most were cultivating.
Therefore, Jia Long understood the other’s anger.
"Your Majesty the Queen, if I attack, it won’t be my responsibility if he dies. Recently, I’ve been cultivating a secret technique and can’t fully control my power."
The opponent was quite straightforward, mentioning that he might accidentally kill Jia Yan.
"Jia Yan, he said so. Are you afraid?"
The Insect Clan Queen slightly smiled.
"This is Mister Dog King, right? Since I would come here, naturally I’m not afraid of challenges from some Strong Ones. Since your Brainwave Power Level is the same as mine, if I lose to you and die, it means I’m inadequate, and you wouldn’t be held accountable."
Jia Yan looked at the opponent and responded directly.
The strength of this Dog King indeed was similar to his, both being creatures in the latter stage of the initial stage of the galaxy.
Not at the peak yet, but not far from it.
As for Jia Yan, he just reached the Early Stage Peak, still a bit away from the top.
Speaking of which, the opponent is slightly higher in pure rank than Jia Yan, but for Strong Ones, this slight difference is negligible. If they were to fight against Jia Yan, finding someone with exactly the same strength would be pointless. The small difference could practically be ignored.
"Alright, if you’re willing to fight him, then begin. But before you start, let me make it clear: this Dog King has been learning here for ten years. His strength has been guided by me, so he might far surpass the usual Strong Ones of the same rank. If you manage to defeat him, it would indicate your talent and promising future. I would agree to the cooperation plan that my Avatar spoke of with you."
The Insect Clan Queen instructed Jia Yan.
In fact, the proposal given by her Avatar to Jia Yan was hers initially. But currently, she couldn’t easily reveal everything to Jia Yan. He needed to pass a test first.
The Insect Clan Queen wouldn’t lower herself to truly agree to equal cooperation with Jia Yan. That was impossible. Only after Jia Yan passed the basic test could the cooperation barely begin.
"Okay."
Jia Yan nodded.
On the other side, Dog King didn’t need any further words from the Insect Clan Queen. It seemed he had already dealt with a few similar to Jia Yan before.
"Mister Jia Yan, I advise you, if you feel you can’t fight me, just surrender. Otherwise, you might suffer mortal harm. I’ve put the words bluntly beforehand."
Dog King’s size was enormous, like a giant dog over forty kilometers long, with a multi-colored appearance, not an Insect Clan member.
His entire aura was terrifying as if it could overwhelm the sky.
"No need for your advice, Senior Dog King. As a Galaxy Level being, I naturally know the rules of combat between Strong Ones. If truly unable, I will admit defeat."
Jia Yan wasn’t bothered by his arrogance and nodded.
Dog King, due to Jia Yan’s attitude, looked slightly more solemn.
He said so much, with some intention of making Jia Yan angry or disturbing his heart and mind before the battle.
But Jia Yan didn’t fall for any of it, indicating either a good psychological state or strong self-confidence.
Dog King believed it to be the latter because he already knew about Jia Yan beforehand. Jia Yan, who in comparison to the Queen, was still young, not even a hundred years old, similar to the Queen back in her early days. How could such a being have a particularly good psychological state?
