"Somethingâs wrong. This guy seems to have used a technique where he suddenly vanishes and then reappears, like something weâve seen before."
Suddenly, on the other side, that same Zhengtang, spoke to another Controller who had gone with him earlier to support the Moth creature.
"Thatâs right, it seems weâve seen him use some very peculiar, flash-like ability. But donât think too much about it; perhaps there are some limitations to that technique. After all, being able to perform something like magic in front of us shouldnât really exist."
"True, if he doesnât use it in this battle, likely there are some unique tricks involved."
That Zhengtang, the strongest among these Controllers, silently nodded. This makes sense; if Jia Yan truly possessed such a terrifying, flash-like skill, why not use it now?
In their view, if Jia Yan had any secret weapons, he should use them now. Even if he wants to conceal his strength, dragging it out little by little with the three Controllers will cost him stamina, and heâll lose the next round, making any attempts to hide his strength useless.
However, they obviously didnât know that Jia Yan was an Evolutionary Creature, whose innate talent included immense stamina.
Pfft.
Suddenly, among the four strong ones battling in the sky, one of them managed to strike Jia Yan.
More and more blue appeared on Jia Yanâs body.
To Jia Yan, these three Controller opponents were each not weaker than the top-tier Middle-grade Interstellar Level beings from the outside world. With such strength attacking him jointly in close combat, Jia Yan truly wasnât their match.
But thatâs as far as it goes; the defense power Jia Yan possesses is not something they can easily break through.
"Damn it, his defense has reached such a level. The more we fight, the bluer he just gets."
The three Controller creatures were simply awed and astonished by Jia Yanâs defense.
If it werenât three of them against Jia Yan, they believed that even if they slightly surpassed him in strength, encountering him in the outside world would end with them fleeing in defeat, for such defense cannot be broken by one person alone.
But now itâs not just one person; itâs the three Controllers, extremely confident in themselves, because, no matter how strong the defense, without offensive power, theyâll surely outlast Jia Yan with continued attacks.
Yet, what they didnât foresee was that Jia Yan was not so easy to deal with.
One hit.
Boom.
Under the attack of one strong opponent, Jia Yanâs body suddenly flew backward.
But on his body, only the blue areas increased.
But his eyes seemed even bluer, showing no trace of fear, suddenly returning to where those three strong ones were.
Pfft.
The strong one attacking him didnât expect Jia Yan to return so swiftly, getting pierced by his kick.
The strong one was flung away, crashing to the ground.
Nearby, the two other strong ones immediately disregarded their injured comrade, launching a fierce joint attack against Jia Yan.
Pfft, pfft.
The attacks from the two strong ones were indeed formidable, yet Jia Yanâs brightening gaze showed that he was unaffected.
"It seems I underestimated my own defense power before. Each time, I feared close combat, but thinking about it now, if I fought using my defense advantage, many past battles might have been easily resolved."
In this moment, Jia Yan realized many past battles could have been easily won by leveraging his defensive strength.
But Jia Yan merely thought about it; he still avoided close combat whenever possible due to the inherent risks unless he had already evaluated the opponentsâ combat power upfront.
And these two strong ones, even in full combat, only caused the blue areas of Jia Yanâs body to become slightly more pronounced.
At that moment, the two strong ones were utterly shocked; despite exhausting their energy, Jia Yan suddenly exploded with formidable power, reinforcing his defense, nullifying their attacks.
This plunged the two strong ones into a brief moment of emptiness due to their attacks.
"Hmph, you inflicted the worst damage on me, so donât blame me for returning the favor!"
Jia Yanâs Compound Eyes flashed with an icy coldness, and then his attack swiftly landed on the two strong onesâ bodies, shadow-like and sudden.
It was as though the two extended feet suddenly pierced their abdomens.
Fortunately, Jia Yan held back and didnât unleash his Brainwave Power at the moment of impact, which would have caused them to explode to death.
Because standing by were thirteen Controllers, including two fairly strong ones, and if he did that, it would surely lead to a relentless vendetta.
Even so, this level of attack was enough to disable these two Controllersâ combat power temporarily.
"Ah."
The two Controllers spewed blood from their mouths, crash-landing immobile on the ground.
"Impressive."
Just as the creatures around were shocked by Jia Yanâs power, cries rang from the outside.
Jia Yan glanced toward the sound and saw a young member of the Giant tribe whom he had previously drawn blood from, watching intently outside the massive structure.
After all, as members of the Giant tribe, they donât have much other entertainment, so watching the Little bug battle was quite an enjoyable game for them.
The Controllers group became intensely pressured by this child appearing right outside the building.
When Jia Yan eliminated those three Controllers earlier, one even suggested to Zhengtang to eliminate Jia Yan in concert.
But seeing this child now, even having no relation to Jia Yan, would not just stand by idly should such a stance develop.
The Giantsâ combat power was indeed daunting, and if the child got angry, despite any agreements between the Controller Union and the Giant tribe, a sudden rampage could see them easily destroy the giant house they stood in, rendering agreements useless.
And this child, indeed had a good impression of Jia Yan, as kids tend to like strong beings. Even if Jia Yan wasnât strong enough to challenge them, being invincible among similar creatures was impressive enough to earn the childâs admiration.
"Very well, Mister Jia Yan, your strength has certainly not disappointed me, but this is only the second round. The third round ahead will pit you against four of the strong ones. Lord Jia Yan, I think you have excellent strength, and the matter of the Moth creatureâs demise might be a misunderstanding. If you apologize now, Iâm willing to cease this examination and have you follow me as a subordinate for ten years, after which Iâll grant you the status of a Controller. What do you think?"
The Zhengtang suddenly proposed this to Jia Yan.
"Oh, I follow you and in ten years I can become a Controller?"
Jia Yan lightly asked.
