Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito

Thus, having these challenges was a good opportunity to prove that Longta’s praise for his talent and strength wasn’t unfounded!

”These geniuses who are coming to challenge me are traveling aboard Star Transmission Bodies. Fortunately, the Central Star Area isn’t vast, so at most they’ll arrive in just one or two days.”

Jia Yan was aware the battles were imminent, so he refocused his mind and adjusted his state of readiness.

Though he didn’t believe he would lose, these challengers were top-tier geniuses from the Genius Battlefield—extraordinary figures. Even though he didn’t anticipate defeat, he still prepared himself for the possibility of a draw, like his earlier fight with Duo Jian.

A draw was also a kind of victory. After all, as an outsider freshly arrived, even holding his own against several geniuses would be astonishing.

But as Jia Yan was making his preparations, something unexpected occurred. Accompanied by a high-ranking elder of the Tianhe Force, a Respect-level dignitary arrived at Jia Yan’s Star Space Star Body!

”Jia Yan, I heard you’ll be fighting the genius challengers in two days. Now, I’ve brought one of our own sect’s senior brothers to meet you. Let’s have you test your strength against him first. If he proves unbeatable, he’ll represent our Tianhe Force in the fights instead of you.”

The elder addressing Jia Yan was an Intermediate Genius, with the horrific, oppressively powerful strength of a Semi-Stellar-level fighter.

”Huh?” Jia Yan, who had come out to greet them, was momentarily baffled.

Then his thoughts sharpened as he processed the situation—he had anticipated inner competition within any organization, such as what had transpired during the Stellar Academy battles. However, he hadn’t expected such a scenario to unfold before him again.

This elder obviously intended for their Respect-level genius to replace Jia Yan!

”A high-level Talent Venerable...”

Jia Yan glanced at the figure before him and discreetly assessed the individual. He realized this was one of the two high-level Talent Venerables he’d felt upon arriving at the Tianhe Force headquarters.

The dignitary evidently considered himself on par with Jia Yan—or perhaps even superior!

”Jia Yan, I’ve received extensive guidance from Elders and Lord Tian Rongguang during my time at Tianhe Force. Now, it’s time for me to repay their mentorship. I hope you’ll let me take these battles instead. Even though the challenges are addressed to you, ultimately, the victories and defeats reflect upon the reputation of our Tianhe Force.”

The figure speaking resembled a Bear Monster, over two hundred meters tall, with incredibly thick arms.

”So, you think I’m weaker than you?”

Jia Yan’s eyes gleamed, as he studied the Bear Monster with a glimmer of intensity.

Standing behind him, Xiaoya displayed an equally displeased demeanor toward the Bear Monster. She had come to view Jia Yan as her partial Master, and her education had taught her that her future depended entirely on him. Anyone who looked down on Jia Yan was implicitly underestimating her as well.

”No, no. Your Talent, validated by Lord Longta, is a top-tier high-level Talent. I wouldn’t dare question that. But you’ve only recently arrived in the Central Star Area. Furthermore, Talent isn’t always definitive. My capabilities have yet to be demonstrated. This is the perfect moment for me to support Tianhe Force. Why not battle to see who is stronger, and let the winner represent our faction?”

The Bear Monster spoke in a resonant voice.

Jia Yan understood.

This Bear Monster was a high-level genius secretly nurtured by the Tianhe Force, who had never been exposed publicly. Now, with such a rare chance to rise to fame, he wanted to seize the opportunity by either defeating or drawing with an external Senior Genius like Jia Yan.

But was his strength truly on par with the renowned Genius Battlefield contenders?

”Fine, Senior Brother. I’ll duel you,” Jia Yan said casually and followed the elder and Bear Monster to the outer perimeter of the Star Body.

Xiaoya trailed closely behind, sending communications to Tian Rongguang and other high-ranking members as she moved.

Not long after, upon reaching the selected battleground, several Semi-Stellar-level fighters arrived at staggering speeds!

”Tian Biwu, you’ve gone too far, wanting your disciple to fight a peer within the same faction—this is disgraceful!”
