Chapter 2901 - 36: Just a Minor Loss?

The momentum of the Insect Queen’s Power was overwhelming in an instant.

Jia Yan shook his head, flying back to the Insect Queen’s Power territory, thinking that despite being on the losing side, it seemed as if he had won.

In fact, what Jia Yan didn’t know was that it was indeed like winning.

Everyone believed that when a Mid-level Galaxy Existence struck, Jia Yan would definitely be either dead or deeply injured.

Now it seems that although he is indeed injured, it is by no means a severe injury, and he is certainly not dead.

The prior all-out offensive stance of Otto was obvious to everyone, yet even with his full effort, he didn’t manage to kill Jia Yan, which caused the powerful beings on the side of the Insect Queen’s Power to explode with confidence one by one.

Mad taunts.

"Hmph! How arrogant for someone who lost."

"Folks in the Insect Queen, since there’s interest today, how about we have another match? I’ll fight; which early stage Star River Existence dares to come?"

"Come, come, come! Do you really think Mister Otto went all out? He merely followed the rules; I won’t follow rules, come if you’re not afraid to die."

From the opposite position, several early stage Star River Existences flew out, evidently truly enraged.

But on the side of the Insect Queen’s Power, no one paid them any mind.

Everyone was greeting Jia Yan, as if welcoming a hero.

"Hey, those fools; who’s going to fight you? Just console your Mister Otto properly; we’ll battle again next time, hahaha."

"Pfft, hahaha, don’t cry too hard when you go back."

All responses from this side were cold taunts.

There was no choice, even without being happy, they couldn’t help but be glad; Jia Yan lost this battle, but it’s vital to see who he lost to.

He lost to an existence on the enemy’s side, always above and considering themselves invincible.

Typically, losing is a matter of embarrassment or tragedy, even severe injury or death, but Jia Yan lost to Otto’s anger, during which quite terrifying combat tactics were employed.

This meant that Jia Yan gained some capital in opposing Otto, even if still slightly lacking, he at least diminished Otto’s arrogance a little.

"Mister Jia Yan, you really, really are a bit of a surprise."

The Mid-level Galaxy Existence who garrisoned this position together with Jia Yan suddenly saw him as if seeing another person.

Previously during joint garrisoning, he thought he had understood Jia Yan very well, even felt mastery over his strength, yet after this battle, he was stunned, recognizing that Jia Yan was definitely not of the strength he imagined.

No wonder Jia Yan had a confident air earlier.

"Hehe, nothing to be surprised about. I made some breakthroughs after returning this time, otherwise I wouldn’t have dared to seek death."

Jia Yan wasn’t very arrogant.

To him, this battle, regardless of the process, but the result is his loss.

Jia Yan rarely lost battles, so this time, his mood wasn’t as euphoric as others might imagine.

At least for him, a battle that wasn’t won and resulted in severe wounds wasn’t something to be happy about.

"Alright, everyone disperse, let Lord Jia Yan rest well, he’s wounded."

The Mid-level Galaxy Existence seemed to have sensed Jia Yan’s not-so-enthusiastic mood, quickly turned to order the surrounding early stage Star River and Stellar existences to retreat.

Meanwhile, he also deeply admired Jia Yan in his heart, knowing that such a record didn’t result in any self-aggrandizing thoughts.

Moreover, he noticed a hint of unwillingness within Jia Yan’s light.

Indeed, he was unwilling, even if at the start of the battle, he knew there was surely defeat, he remained unwilling, indicating that Jia Yan still harbored a desire for victory.

Buzz.

Jia Yan returned to his territory in the Misty Territory.

The position in the starry sky could actually be very, very large, as merely creating mist could cover an area much more colossal than a planet.

On such a huge position, Jia Yan had enough territory, at least enough to run around here.

"My strength... still somewhat lacking."

If the outside world saw Jia Yan’s healing state now, they’d be absolutely astounded.

Because he was using his brainwave power, fusing it with high-grade Energy Stones, and plugging it into the wound.

This method, for other beings, seems as crude as plugging a wound with trash, like an utterly impossible way to heal.

But Jia Yan didn’t care about all that, he simply did it.

Moreover, what would really make others drop their jaws is that this action actually had an effect.

Under his plugging method, the abdominal wound pierced through front and back gradually revealed a blue hue visible to the naked eye, following which these hues assimilated the high-grade Energy Stone blocking his body, transforming it into a deep blue shade.

"Sigh, it’s impossible to make them instantly become part of my body, but at least it’s plugged now. This area of injury probably needs some time to gradually heal; during this period, I have to constantly use brainwave power for transformation and repair, otherwise it’ll stay unhealed."

Jia Yan felt truly uncomfortable from the injury, especially since it hasn’t been long since his last mutation. Until the next mutation, he has to endure the effects of the wound.
