Chapter 2902 - 36: Just a Slight Loss?

If his words were heard by other strong ones, they would be eager to beat him to death. People suffer injuries that are difficult to repair in a lifetime, but he, having been injured for a while, is certain to recover in the future, yet he finds even this short time unbearable?

Buzz buzz buzz.

Jia Yan’s injury healed, or at least was blocked, and now it’s just the water grinding technique, slowly assimilating the wound little by little to make it part of his body, like an evolutionary process, albeit a man-made one, and certainly not as profound as the kind of makeover from a mutation.

He didn’t immediately leave his area. Being an evolutionary creature with the advantage of quickly healing injuries is a great benefit to Jia Yan, so he doesn’t want others to know, at least he doesn’t want to just go out casually and cause a sensation.

Also, Jia Yan has nothing to do outside now; a battle between top strong ones has just ended, and both sides will likely have a period of calmness, reflecting or stabilizing from the battle. Going out now would just mean chatting with others, which would be a real waste of time.

Just after such a battle, he needs time to digest what he gained from the battle.

Frankly, this battle was an incredible gain for Jia Yan.

After all, the enemy initially came with intentions not to kill, and indeed did not deploy a critical killer move on Jia Yan, even though one move could have threatened Jia Yan’s life, it definitely was not Otto’s strongest ace, otherwise Jia Yan might really not have survived.

So this battle was his best practice after arriving at the Central Star Domain of the Milky Way, still without the risk of real danger.

Every second within was worth reminiscing, analyzing, and figuring out how to handle the enemy.

So Jia Yan was actually quite busy.

After handling his wounds, he began his long process of recalling the battle and analyzing how to better respond.

Adding this cross-grade enemy, Jia Yan has fought strongmen from the Central Star Domain of the Milky Way three times now, and if counting a few battles near the territory master’s land adjacent to the central galaxy star region, then no less than five times.

These five battles were enough for a strong one to grow in battle and with excellent grasp ability, enough for him to realize many things and deeply understand the Milky Way’s Central Star Domain’s battle style and the strength of its strong ones.

Indeed, Jia Yan analyzed Otto’s combat power and techniques, quickly integrating them into his fighting style, while gradually merging the overall visage of the many strong ones he battled into his overall impression of the Central Star Domain, so in future encounters with other strong ones from the region, he won’t be as clueless as before, and won’t feel completely helpless against their styles.

While Jia Yan was still repairing his wounds and recalling and enhancing his combat skills, the news of his battle spread to the Insect Queen Energy Circle with incredible speed.

Causing quite a stir!

"What? Jia Yan fought a peak mid-tier Galaxy strongman from the Central Galaxy and only lost slightly?"

"And the entire battle went through no less than ten moves; he managed to withstand a peak mid-tier Galaxy existence for ten moves?"

"I recall he has not been promoted for long, yet can handle a peak mid-tier Galaxy existence already? This somewhat reminds me of Her Majesty the Queen from back then!"

"Indeed, Jia Yan has considerable talent. Remember when he came to our Insect Clan’s Domain, what he said was still fresh: a cooperation with the Queen, which now seems indeed visible."

"At such a rate, he might soon become a major figure in our ranks, possibly even equal to Lord Black Sheep!"

"Shh, keep silent. Lord Black Sheep does not regard Jia Yan highly; perhaps this is because Lord Black Sheep saw Jia Yan’s astonishing talent early on."

In the energy circle constructed by the Insect Queen, numerous exquisite planets were bustling with the message passing between existences of Galaxy level.

Even between Stellar level and Respect level, there were undercurrents flowing, those who did not favor Jia Yan and kept their distance were now feeling they backed the wrong horse before, realizing they should maintain some contact with Jia Yan.

The regular strongmen were already swept by the undercurrent, but those on higher levels were even more interesting.

"Oh? Jia Yan almost tied with a peak mid-tier Galactic existence from the Central Star Domain?"

The Insect Queen, on her high throne, listened gently to the messages from below.

She seemed to have foreseen Jia Yan’s potential, with wisdom in her grasp.

Of course, for such a Domain Master Creature, she wouldn’t see much disturbance unless Jia Yan reached Domain Lord Strength, otherwise, it wouldn’t shake her much, as even among Domain Master Creatures, the Insect Queen stands as a formidable figure.

"Yes, Jia Yan honestly fought Otto and didn’t lose too badly. It’s worth knowing that Lord Otto participated in battles against our forces before; remember, Black Sheep seemed to have fought him..."

A peak mid-tier Galaxy creature glanced plainly at Black Sheep beside the Insect Queen.

This creature wasn’t exactly friendly with Black Sheep, not an enemy per se, as both have their respective factions to control, hence their not getting along comes naturally.

That glance carried a hint of mockery.

Black Sheep, simmering over the news, was unimpressed by the mockery, shrugging indifferently.

"Otto is just Otto, if not for their domain lord energy pressing, his head would have been mine. Besides, you mentioned Jia Yan fought him to a near tie? I disagree; check the intelligence. This battle was initiated provocatively by Jia Yan, Otto restrained himself, only the final move was somewhat notable, but not his true strength; so don’t take the matter of Jia Yan almost handling a mid-tier galaxy too seriously, treat it as a joke."

Black Sheep wouldn’t concede to Jia Yan.

Moreover, he wasn’t wrong; Jia Yan’s power hadn’t fully reached the level of a peak mid-tier Galactic existence during this battle.

Yet it’s clear Jia Yan’s ability has reached a level that draws attention from all.

Black Sheep simply won’t concede.

"Anyway, regarding this battle where Jia Yan slightly lost to a peak mid-tier Galactic enemy, I won’t reward him, since he lost, yet nothing tangible; let’s somewhat spread the word without too much emphasis, and pass to Jia Yan my words of high expectations for his future performances."

The Insect Queen calmly concluded after reviewing the intelligence again.

Her conclusion was extremely fair.

Though Jia Yan’s shocking slight loss to Otto was true, defeat is defeat, and not defeating the enemy means no reward; hence, she won’t offer any reward.

Yet she expressed her encouragement verbally, ensuring Jia Yan wouldn’t feel discontented.

This demonstrated the quality of a commendable leadership.

Black Sheep, sitting below, glanced briefly at the Insect Queen, and a flicker of anger flashed through his entirely black sheep eyes.

Again, it’s Jia Yan.

Everyone including the Insect Queen were aware of Black Sheep’s unfriendly, even hostile stance towards Jia Yan, thus nobody was surprised at his anger.
