[Please Subscribe to the Official Version] âSince you want to give me some pointers, Iâm naturally willing to play along, but please go easy on me.â
Jia Yan thrust his front limbs while speaking with a speed that was too fast for the ears to catch up, addressing the monster.
But his attack was anything but a tease; the brilliance in his eyes flickering as he unleashed an extremely powerful force.
âHmph, little fellow.â The elephant nose monster attempted to dodge Jia Yanâs attack.
In its eyes, Jia Yanâs strength should not be formidable, but it could not just ignore his attack, knowing very well that this Jia Yan had previously defeated the combined strength of over a hundred Dignitaries!
It tried to dodge, but suddenly felt its body tense up!
âUh?
Environmental Control Power!
Youâre trying this move on me!â The elephant nose monster felt both amusement and irritation.
At this moment, Jia Yanâs Environmental Control Power seemed stronger than what was rumored outside, but it was still too weak against a Semi-permanent Star Level being like itself!
With a forceful bounce of its body, it easily dispersed the Environmental Control Power.
Just as it planned to move away, Jia Yanâs thrusting front limbs suddenly accelerated!
What made Jia Yan truly formidable was his physical combat; his speed, now on full display, caught the opponent off guard.
A flare of Flame light ignited in the starry sky.
It turned out that the elephant nose monster had promptly used its weapon to block Jia Yanâs stab.
However, the offensive and defensive powers of both sides set off a vacuum shockwave in the void of space, causing fiery light to burst out around them, and both were sent reeling back two to three kilometers by the rebounding force.
âWhat a powerful strike!
So your physical power is this terrifying!â The elephant nose monster staggered for a moment, then looked at Jia Yan in astonishment.
âHeh, just average, I hope you wonât laugh at it.â Jia Yan sent the elephant nose monster flying with a blow, and although he was sent flying backward as well, the brilliance in his eyes intensified.
It wasnât a one-sided fight, which was enough to prove that his strength could inflict certain damage to the monster.
âAgain!â
Jia Yan didnât back down, flying straight toward his opponent.
A wave of brainwave power with Space Control directly attached itself to him â it was the Environmental Control Power of a Semi-permanent Star Level being.
Under its instant control, Jia Yan felt his whole body enveloped and trapped.
However, having had the experience of one confrontation, he had already demonstrated his Environmental Control Power while flying.
When the opponentâs Brainwave Power enveloped him, Jia Yan already took a step forward, and before the opponent could fully adhere their power to his body, he took another step into Subspace!
Just behind that Semi-permanent Star Level monster, Jia Yan burst forth from his position, lunging with a thrust.
The elephant nose monster, somewhat taken aback, quickly extended its weapon to counter Jia Yanâs strike, and then before Jia Yan could attack again, it too entered the Subspace for shuttle travel!
Jia Yan had just landed a hit when the Semi-permanent Star Level elephant nose monster flew out from the Subspace, just as Jia Yan had previously ambushed it, and attacked Jia Yanâs back with its weapon from behind.
Just as the Double-handed Big Sword was about to reach Jia Yanâs body, a flicker of sharpness in his eyes allowed him to turn in time, causing the opponentâs weapon to deviate from its course and miss him!
The two continued to exchange heavy hits back and forth.
In the starry sky not far from their battle, a crowd from Bai Niao Battle Hall watched the astonishing fight with their mouths agapeâŠ
âAre my eyes deceiving me?
That Jia Yan, is he actually fighting on par with our Semi-permanent Star Level Senior?
How is this possible, isnât he a Dignitary?
How can he fight evenly with a Semi-permanent Star Level contender?â One of the Dignitaries, watching the scene unfold, felt their soul almost leaving their body, thinking they had seen wrong.
âThis kid is defying the heavens.
You are slightly mistaken; now, he is struggling greatly against the Lord, who probably hasnât even exerted full strength.
But even so, it is enough to demonstrate his immense power.
If we were to take him on, even together we would not push the Lord to this extent.
This Jia Yan, he is just too extraordinary.â
Another Dignitary also spoke in disbelief.
âHmph.
To fight our Semi-permanent Star Level Lord to such an extent, but thatâs as far as he goes.
Once the Lord captures him, regardless of whether heâs some Family Genius, itâs impossible for him to continue to appear in our Northern Star Domain.
Such a monster should not come to a small place like ours.â
One being seemed to still harbor animosity toward Jia Yan, but by now had ceased to speak ill of him.
At this moment, all the monsters from Bai Niao Battle Hall had determined that the opponent must be a genius from some major Family.
Otherwise, there was no way to explain such a heaven-defying Talent.
You must know that oneâs strength is not obtained easily, even if one seemingly carries the legacy of a Strong One.
Without the bloodline inheritance from a heaven-defying Family, it would be impossible to wield the power of such a legacy.
Just like the Space Combat Skills that Jia Yan is currently usingâif just any Strong One were to try to learn them, let alone use them to such a defying extent, itâs a huge question whether they could even learn them at all.
The battle in the sky was becoming more and more intense.
The Elephant Nose Monster grew more anxious as the fight continued.
It gradually unveiled its true power, yet Jia Yan, who previously struggled mightily, now seemed to grow stronger during the battle.
No!
It wasnât right to say he was getting stronger; instead, he became increasingly familiar with the feeling of combat against an opponent whose strength faintly surpassed his own by a significant margin.
The opponentâs power was formidable, so Jia Yan attacked from the side.
His Space Power was a Unique Skill exceeding his current level, and Jia Yanâs physical strength was also a significant threat to the Elephant Nose Monster.
As they continued to fight, the Elephant Nose Monsterâs power grew stronger; however, Jia Yanâs rate of improvement became even faster!
Buzz!
A Semi-permanent Star Level Environmental Control Power suddenly enveloped everything between heaven and earth.
Yet, as the control power neared Big Mosquito, it suddenly stepped forward, entering a kind of Subspace.
The Elephant Nose Monster missed its target and quickly dodged to the side.
As expected, a stabbing hit from its forelimb followed; fully blue in color, it held a sharpness that even a Semi-permanent Star Level monster would find surprising.
âHmph!
You little thing, you forced my hand.
Since youâve reached this level of strength, donât blame me if you die after this,â the Elephant Nose Monster roared in anger.
It faintly sensed that Jia Yan was deceiving it!
The attitude Jia Yan now portrayed had become gradually colder, no longer resembling the petulant child-like demeanor he had before.
It felt as if Jia Yan was just stabilizing him, using him to enhance his own power with his talk.
But during the short period of their offense and defense, Jia Yanâs power slowly increased.
It wasnât right to say it increased; rather, he became accustomed to fighting a Semi-permanent Star Level Expert, and his attitude showed it!
âThatâs right, Jia Yan, this is the way to fight.
Youâre more and more like the Master back then.
Ha ha, and the Masterâs first fight with a Semi-permanent Star Level Strong One was even more miserable than yours.
You truly are the one I chose!â the Light Shadow Monster inside Jia Yanâs body laughed heartily.
It originally intended for Jia Yan to pretend to be a scion of a powerful family from the Northern Star Domain to learn certain combat skills.
Only when his power neared or even surpassed that of a Semi-permanent Star Level being was he to let loose.
But now, seeing Jia Yan grow so rapidly through just one battle, embodying the style of his own master, the monster was overjoyed.
Once he passed this threshold, Jia Yanâs strength would be almost unmatched throughout the Northern Star Domain, unless several Semi-permanent Star Level beings joined hands.
But even then, could Jia Yan not just flee?
With that great strength, utilizing the partial resources within an entire star domain, Jia Yan might even advance to Stellar Level within the Northern Star Domain!
Indeed, the Light Shadow Monster didnât want Jia Yan to go through the steps of Secondary Powerhouses or Semi-permanent Star Level Experts, but rather wanted him to ascend to Stellar Level on the first attempt.
That way, Jia Yanâs strength would advance like flying, and he might even achieve heights his Master never reached!
Jia Yan, unaware of the Light Shadow Monsterâs thoughts, was fully engaged in the battle before him!
âCome on.â Hearing that the Elephant Nose Monster was about to unleash all its strength, Jia Yanâs eyes blazed even more fiercely with the flames of war.
Boom!!
In the silence of space, an explosion-like sound was heard.
The Elephant Nose Monsterâs body made the entire space seem shattered; chunks of what looked like broken Space Fragments made its figure appear somewhat blurry.
âYou forced me to do this; now I donât care which family you belong to.
I canât possibly be frightened by some obscure force, now, die!â the Elephant Nose Monster felt fooled by Jia Yan, it raised its Double-handed Big Sword and swung it down ferociously!
Space seemed to shatter, and Jia Yan found his own Space Power completely sealed off.
âIs this the true power of a Semi-permanent Star Level Expert?
How terrifying!â
Ripples in Jia Yanâs heart instantly spread wide, and at that moment, it seemed the whole world was under the control of the opponent, unlike the control of ordinary Dignitaries, this felt more likeâŠ
The power of a Domain!
âHa!
Kid, youâve finally forced him to use that move.
Donât be afraid, do as I say.
Itâs just the Domain force of a Semi-permanent Star Level Strong One, no big deal!â
At that moment, the voice of the Light Shadow Monster mockingly shouted from within Jia Yanâs body.
