"My goodness, the power of the Mosquito Patriarch has always been a mystery. Many people claim his strength is no big deal, possibly even weaker than some of his subordinates. But looking at it now, if this power belongs to the Mosquito Patriarch, then the truth might be quite different."
"Absolutely big news. If this so-called Mosquito Patriarch can unleash such terrifying power, then the war between the Empire and the Orion Arm becomes interesting."
"What level of power does he truly possess? He can contend with a Stellar-Class Senior from the Empire with just one shot of energy."
The surrounding onlookers were utterly shocked by Jia Rongâs identity and speculated on who was behind the power backing him.
Equally shocked was Jia Ruo.
She was completely bewildered because she never expected that the central figure in the just-occurred battle was related to her, and it was none other than her brother, Jia Rong, with whom she grew up.
"Brother, where have you been all these years? And, whatâs this power you have?"
Jia Rong glanced around at the creatures observing them, all whispering, and his face hardened slightly.
"Sorry, you might be hiding your identity. Iâve exposed you; come, letâs talk on my ship."
Jia Rong ignored the dumbfounded Stellar-Class being, grabbing Jia Ruoâs hand, and headed towards his battleship.
Experiencing the lightning-fast speed, although in the eyes of true strong ones, this might just be a respectable level of speed, to Jia Ruo, it was utterly astonishing.
"Brother Jia Rong, your power seems to have surpassed the Star Space Level? Are you a Venerable?"
"Thatâs right, Iâve become a Venerable, but Iâve just reached the first stage, and my power is very unstable."
"Wow, thatâs amazing. On Earth, no one has reached the Star Space Level. Youâve skipped it and reached Venerable. Youâre surely Earthâs strongest... no, the second strongest."
Jia Ruo was initially excited talking about Jia Rongâs power, but on mentioning the second strongest, she seemed to realize something and hesitated to continue.
In her view, the gap between Jia Rong and his âJia Yanâ father, her âUncleâ, seemed significant.
Of course, to Jia Ruo, Jia Rong was her real cousin, and she didnât know that Jia Yan wasnât âJia Yanâ, but actually the Mosquitoâs Jia Yan.
In any case, the relationship was utterly confusing, and Jia Ruo was entirely lost.
"Ha... the second strongest, huh? Fine, if you say so. Overall, even though Iâve reached Venerable, it doesnât mean much here. Be careful, now that your identity is exposed, some forces might harm you."
Jia Rong kept scanning around. Indeed, in the starry sky, peculiar gazes were surveying them.
What Jia Rong didnât realize was that when those powerful yet bizarre gazes scrutinized them, another terrifying force, concealed deeply, was colliding fiercely with those who looked at them, using brainwave power.
Boom!
"Ah."
A being at the Semi-Stellar Peak level staggered backward, sustaining severe internal injuries.
"What happened?"
"Uh, I just had a thought of capturing that Earth female, but suddenly a force struck me, injuring me directly. Itâs terrifying. I feel this power must be at least Stellar Middle Level."
"Letâs go. The Earth peopleâs foundation is terrifying. Better not provoke them."
One after another, unfamiliar strong ones were injured quietly and retreated, eyes filled with fear.
Their departure was strange, yet they dared not tell others. So most of the onlookers, seeing this inexplicable fear and retreat, were puzzled, not understanding why they were so nervous.
Of course, if these creatures knew that in the subspace, a being with unparalleled power was scanning them, ready to punish any harmful thoughts, would they also be terrified and quickly flee?
"Hmm..."
The Stellar-Class being inside the massive structure showed a hint of surprise, momentarily. He sensed a trace of brainwave power disturbance but, after pondering, thought it might be the brainwave power from âJia Rongâ and dismissed it.
Blocked earlier by Jia Rongâs power, he didnât dare act again, lost in deep thought.
"This power should belong to the so-called âMosquito Patriarchâ, the one in the intelligence known as âJia Yanâ. As for Jia Rong, I just received his intelligence. He recently returned from the Genius Battlefield, so heâs also a descendant of the Evolutionary Beast stepping out from there, possibly stronger than ordinary Venerable counterparts."
"These two pieces of information suggest that the strength of Jia Yan is most important. If his power reaches or even exceeds my imagination, then our Empireâs recent actions, even our engagements with the Orion Arm, might just be a joke to him. But if his strength really reaches my expectations, then why doesnât he act directly to eliminate the threats here?"
