[Please Subscribe to the Official Version] âWhat a strange power; contestant Jia Yan is using that power again.
Can anyone tell me what power it is?â
The commentator on the high platform was extremely surprised when they saw Jia Yan repeatedly dissolve the opponentâs attacks with the power of a black hole.
âCould it really be Black Hole Force?
Impossible, who could actually control the Black Hole Force?â
The battle on the high platform continued.
Even though Jia Yan had used the Black Hole Force, the fact that his Brainwave Power was significantly weaker than his opponent hadnât changed.
The battle had always been the Eight-clawed Monster using Brainwave Power to attack, and Jia Yan using the Black Hole to resolve it.
âThis Eight-clawed Monster can use the advantage of Brainwave Power to break through my Subspace Talent.
Is Talent really useless in the face of absolute power?â
A flicker of faint light danced in Jia Yanâs Compound Eyes.
After taking out the black hole, his pressure was greatly reduced, but he was similarly unable to do anything to his opponent.
After all, the Artificial Black Hole was not something to be used for direct attacks, at least Jia Yan currently had no ability to directly attack with it.
âIf I want to win, I must act first and attack.
But the opponentâs Brainwave Power is unusually strong; if I want to attack him, I will definitely be affected by Brainwave Power.
So, what method should I useâŠâ
The Brainwave Power is strong, and although the advantage isnât too huge among the same level Strong Ones, it is an insurmountable barrier for someone like Jia Yan, who holds the title of Dignitary.
A Semi-permanent Star Level Genius with powerful Brainwave Power could easily push away Jia Yanâs attacks by relying solely on the advantage of Brainwave Power, even if Jia Yan went on the offensive.
âBut how would I know if I donât try?â
As another attack approached, Jia Yan coordinated with the Man-made Black Hole Power in the Deep Space, causing the opponentâs body to suddenly shift.
âNow is the moment!â
His bluish forelimbs took advantage of this opportunity and fiercely stabbed the opponentâs body surface.
However, when Jia Yan felt his forelimbs pierce the opponentâs body, a wave of Brainwave Power spread up his forelimbs, wrapping and diminishing the attack layer by layer.
In the end, what hit the opponent was nothing but a faint strike that couldnât even break through the surface.
Jia Yan, you see?
You cannot win,â laughed the Eight-clawed Monster heartily.
In fact, it was also startled by Jia Yan, knowing that just moments ago it was dominating Jia Yan, but after only a few moves, Jia Yan was able to adapt to its attack pattern and counterattack during dodges.
This exaggerated adaptability caused this top twenty Semi-permanent Star Genius to be extremely shocked.
But regardless of the shock, the battle must go on.
Not only was the Monster called Pi Ren shocked, but the surrounding spectators soon felt shocked as well.
It slowly became apparent to them, in the battle between Jia Yan and Pi Ren, what initially was a one-sided overwhelming assault by Pi Ren, slowly became smoother dodges by Jia Yan, and then he even managed to counterattack occasionally amidst the opponentâs assaults.
âThisâŠ
this Combat Learning Ability is too terrifying.â The commentator didnât even know how to describe Jia Yanâs combat ability anymore.
Labeling a Genius as either an Intermediate or a High-Level Genius is just a superficial judgment.
Jia Yanâs current strength is not strong compared to other Genius Strong Ones, but his bizarre combat style and the speed at which he improves in the midst of battle are rocketing, which is actually what makes all beings around him feel shocked.
For example, in this battle, Jia Yan was at an absolute disadvantage at first, but now he can defend and attack at the same time, and although he is still unable to break through the opponentâs defense, it is enough to amaze everyone.
âJia Yan, you might as well surrender.
Youâve seen it, attacking me so many times and yet you canât even break through my defense.
Whatâs the point of continuing except to waste energy?
Just surrender,â Pi Ren said in a falsely composed tone.
Listening to Pi Renâs deliberately calm voice, Jia Yanâs eyes shimmered more intensely.
You should know, if an opponent in a superior position is desperately asking you to concede, then they definitely have something to hide.
Indeed, it wasnât long before Jia Yanâs Compound Eyes, which were brightly gleaming, glinted with an even more obvious blue sheen.
He found something amiss!
This Brainwave Power Genius actually had less Stamina than a typical Stellar Class, much frailer.
The force of clashing with Jia Yan time and time again, and the tilt in his body caused by the black hole, had resulted in huge Energy Consumption for his Brainwave Power.
Seeing this, a sneer appeared in Jia Yanâs heart, and he then activated the Suction power of the Man-made Black Hole Force.
He controlled the Artificial Black hole using a Space stone, although excessive use of Space stones would cause them to deplete quickly, Jia Yan had no other choice.
This time he used the Space stone to control the space and opened the largest controllable breach.
Boom!
A torrential suction force emanated from that breach in Subspace.
âAh!â
Like a small boat in the tide, Pi Ren struggled against this terrifying force with his Brainwave Power.
If it were in normal condition, he could have escaped the gravitational range with a burst of Brainwave Power, after all, this was just a small Artificial Black Hole; it had some impact on the Semi-permanent Star Level Strong Ones, but the impact was limited.
But now, with his great strength exhausted, the suction felt like a giant beast tugging at him, and he was utterly unable to escape.
Whatâs worse, Jia Yan was on the edge of this pulling force, using his Brainwave Power to attack him.
Jia Yanâs Brainwave Power attack was just a basic application of the power, not very effective against powerful beings, but it was still enough to distract Pi Ren.
His body was continuously drawn toward the space cracking open behind him.
âEnough, I concede.â
Seeing himself about to be pulled into the Subspace, the Eight-clawed Monster let out a long sigh and then declared his surrender.
Wow!!!
The entire battlefield, both inside and out, boiled over at this moment.
Jia Yan had actually won again.
And it wasnât just luck or some underhanded trick; at least in the eyes of the audience, Pi Ren did not let Jia Yan win.
Under these circumstances, Jia Yan, a Dignitary, had actually won against a being who could rank in the top twenty among the Semi-permanent Star Level geniuses present!
This was incredibly shocking.
âMister Jia Yan, as a Dignitary who has won championships in two different Great Levels, are you entering the Semi-permanent Star Genius battle again in hopes of winning another gold medal at this level?â
When Jia Yan stepped down from the stage, several interviewing creatures rushed up to him and asked.
Jia Yan smiled faintly: âNo, the Seniors participating in the Pingtian power Semi-permanent Star Genius battle are all very powerful.
I have no certainty of winning the championship.â
âThen, by coming to our 132 Star Zone, are you aiming to challenge the Intermediate Geniuses within our power?
I heard that several great geniuses in this Star Zone have expressed interest in you.â
âOf course, I would be very willing if those few would battle me.â
Having said that, the interviewers were dragged away by security monsters using Brainwave Power control.
During the competition, players cannot be disturbed.
âJia Yan, well done.â
When Tai Jin saw Jia Yan descend from the stage, his eyes shone with uncontrollable excitement.
His own strength would have taken quite an effort to defeat Pi Ren just now, but Jia Yan, as a Dignitary, was able to defeat Pi Ren, and he wasnât just some common Semi-permanent Star Genius picked off the streets.
And to him, Jia Yanâs progress seemed scarily fast.
At least half of the Semi-permanent Star Level members of the Tornado Force initially thought they could easily suppress this Dignitary Genius, even if he was a High-level Genius.
But now, even Tai Jin wasnât certain he could defeat Jia Yan, which showed how much the latterâs strength had increased.
âTai Jin, youâre about to enter the stage as well, may good luck and glory be with you,â Jia Yan said, nodding his head, releasing goodwill towards Tai Jin.
Even though Tornado Force had gained a powerful ally in Jia Yan and their morale was high, their overall strength was still a bit lacking.
In the first round of battle, half of Tornado Forceâs Semi-permanent Star Strong Ones were eliminated.
And in the second round of battle, Jia Yan encountered a Semi-permanent Star Genius who had previously fought against the Mighty Power, whose strength was average.
After hastily exchanging a couple of moves, the opponent once again admitted defeat.
Several of Tai Jinâs force suffered losses in this round, and of the few Semi-permanent Star Level competitors that came, all but Tai Jin were defeated.
âJia Yan, now itâs just you and me.â
When in the third round, Jia Yan once again faced an opponent who was not too strong and defeated him amidst the audienceâs exclamations, Tai Jin spoke to Jia Yan with a bitter smile.
He couldnât help but feel bitter.
The Tornado Force had initially hoped to catch up with the Pingtian power, but the reality of the situation was harsh; just a few rounds in, only he and Jia Yan were left.
Excluding Jia Yan as an ally, in this Semi-permanent Star Genius battle, Tornado Force was left with only a single leader.
âTornado Force did well, so Senior, donât be discouraged.â Jia Yan saw that Tai Jin was somewhat downcast and spoke a few words of comfort.
But when things donât go as hoped, you might even get a toothache drinking cold water.
Tai Jin encountered the Semi-permanent Star Genius provisionally ranked first in the next round and was defeated.
Now, Tornado Force came to the Pingtian battle, and only the last player was left, the allied GeniusâJia Yan, who had driven the entire Star Zoneâs public opinion!
âHaha, that Tornado Force has a big reputation, but now they have only one allied Dignitary who is relying on luck to prop them up.â
âExactly, Jia Yanâs several rounds so far, he hasnât faced any Strong Ones.
I think Pi Ren from his earlier battle might not even know what method Jia Yan used to win.
Both Tornado Force and Jia Yanâs methods are too dirty.â
With Tornado Forceâs significant losses, countless spectators reveled in their misfortune, and some even turned their ire towards Jia Yan, bringing up the issue of foul play again.
A Dignitary dominating in the Semi-permanent Star Genius battleâwithout calling it foul play, really, very few people were willing to believe it.
Yet no matter what they said, Jia Yan still triumphed over another average-strength Semi-permanent Star Genius, crossing the threshold of the top twenty.
