The previous explosion was caused by him utilizing the space stone.
However, the space stone’s inherent attribute should align with what Lan Wu thought—it wasn’t supposed to explode.
But Jia Yan had already determined while using them to manipulate the artificial black hole that these space stones were not devoid of energy attributes; rather, their energy was different from ordinary matter and derived from space itself.
By using the space stone to manipulate the black hole, Jia Yan understood the attributes of these stones and further realized that they could carry an imnse degree of subspace power.
This power seed as though an enormous distorted space had been forcibly stuffed into the small space stone, which would instantly trigger the distortion within the stone and cause an explosion upon the slightest touch from external forces, resulting in an unimaginably powerful burst.
The effect of the explosion did not deviate from Jia Yan’s expectations. The earlier blast was precisely caused by the detonation of the space stones.
As for why they themselves did not perish in the explosion—as the user, he naturally had the assurance to minimize self-inflicted harm. Of course, even then, the injuries he sustained were not insignificant; the bluish glow surrounding his body now was the result of fully activating his bluish defense.
“Jia Yan, take a good rest. The next match—I reckon I’ll lose. As for you, I think you should concede if you encounter a formidable opponent. It’s too dangerous otherwise.”
Tai Jin, observing that Jia Yan was not gravely injured yet still sowhat drained, spoke with a solemn tone.
“No rush. I’ll try to win one or two more matches,”
Jia Yan glanced back at him, unwilling to give up but also appreciating Tai Jin’s sentint—after all, the other was genuinely concerned about him.
In truth, Jia Yan’s victory in this battle had already undeniably showcased his strength.
At the edge of the arena and in the spectator stands, there was a bout of silence. Those who had been insulting Jia Yan earlier now wore awkward looks.
Because Jia Yan’s victory this ti, regardless of whether his strength could reach semi-permanent star genius level, clearly demonstrated that he wasn’t rely soone reliant on cheating tactics. If he were cheating, it would have been impossible for him to get this far.
In the next round, Jia Yan entered the stage again, and this ti, Elong’s forces refrained from underhanded thods. His opponent was a semi-permanent star genius ranked beyond the 400s.
Of course, even against soone of this caliber, victory for Jia Yan was no easy feat. It took nearly fifteen minutes of intense battle before Jia Yan managed to secure a seemingly difficult win.
“Indeed, this Jia Yan has the strength to fight against ordinary semi-permanent star geniuses!”
The King Er Ding, who was observing from the high platform, let out a sigh upon witnessing Jia Yan achieve a genuine victory before the masses.
The monsters in the audience, however, were left speechless.
Many spectators who had insulted Jia Yan as a shady dignitary now found themselves at a loss for words as Jia Yan openly defeated an El Tian genius ranked beyond 400 in a semi-permanent star-level battle. Such strength made it plausible for him to win the championship in the Pingtian Genius Tournant.
“It seems that Jia Yan’s victories against forces like Pingtian weren’t due to shady tactics. His strength is indeed remarkable.”
“Sigh, who called him a shady dignitary earlier? I wanted to say sothing fair back then. Every genius tournant is overseen by official forces’ strong eyes—wouldn’t they intervene if Jia Yan were cheating? So of you are way out of line with your insults.”
“I thought I was the only sane person, but it turns out there are others like . Haha, shall we cheer Jia Yan on together?”
…
Jia Yan was still unaware of the slight improvent in his standing among the audience. After defeating one opponent, he calmly stepped off the stage.
“It appears that our contestant Jia Yan is aiming to achieve the astonishing feat of winning consecutive championships in Er Tian’s forces, Pingtian’s forces, and Mighty Power’s forces. Truly, a heroic youth.”
From the high platform, the King Er Ding praised Jia Yan, though his gaze carried a hint of resentnt.
“What? King Er Ding actually holds such a high opinion of this re dignitary?”
“That’s a bit much. He’s only won against a few strong opponents; what King Er Ding said sounds more like a setup for failure.”
“Still, facing Jia Yan, we can’t afford to be careless. His strength is bona fide. If we confront him in battle, we’ll need to give it our all.”
One by one, the semi-permanent star contestants who heard King Er Ding’s words beca uneasy and started taking Jia Yan seriously.
Honestly, even though Jia Yan had already defeated several powerful semi-permanent star opponents, so contestants still didn’t take a dignitary seriously. But King Er Ding’s comnts changed the tide.
Of course, those ranked in the top ten or even top twenty continued to view Jia Yan with disdain. If dignitaries could warrant their attention, then the reputation of the 132 Star Zone would truly be tarnished.
From then on, Jia Yan beca an outlier—a unique presence in the tournant.
Victory followed victory!
Five semi-permanent star contestants fell at Jia Yan’s feet in succession.
Jia Yan himself wasn’t unscathed.
Semi-permanent star-levels, after all, were semi-permanent stars. To him, while victory was attainable against these beings, it wasn’t as effortless as facing dignitaries or secondary powerhouses.
Jia Yan’s strength was barely enough to handle ordinary semi-permanent star geniuses, but when confronted with semi-permanent star contestants ranked in the top 200 of Elong’s forces tournant, he started to struggle.
“Next match: Contestant Jia Yan versus Contestant Rongdong.”
“This contestant is provisionally ranked 107th. Even though Jia Yan defeated Lan Wu earlier, his strength has taken a significant hit after several fierce battles. This match will likely result in his defeat.”
“Yes, I agree. Although I’m not as hostile toward Jia Yan as others, if he loses this match, it might be for the best. A dignitary progressing too far in a top-tier tournant like ours in the 132 Star Zone would be embarrassing to say the least.”
Upon hearing his opponent’s na, Jia Yan flew up and landed on the stage.
Just as the spectators noted, even though Jia Yan had an evolutionary beast body, his strength had been heavily depleted after battling nurous semi-permanent star geniuses, especially during the fight against Lan Wu. His injuries remained unhealed.
When the bluish glow of Jia Yan appeared on the stage, ready to fight, sothing surprising transpired.
“What? Rongdong concedes!”
The referee stared in surprise at a secondary powerhouse from Elong’s forces below the stage.
“Yes, our force’s Senior Rongdong has decided to concede,”
The secondary powerhouse replied with a sigh.
Jia Yan, hearing these words on the stage, montarily froze before casually shrugging his shoulders.
Perhaps Rongdong had sustained injuries in a previous match? Though Jia Yan doubted a top-ranked provisional competitor would suffer severe injuries this early, exceptions always existed.
“Fine, I declare Jia Yan the victor.” King Er Ding on the high platform was nearly livid enough to spit blood.
Compared to his frustration, the group of creatures who had been insisting that Jia Yan was a shady dignitary now found fresh ammunition for their insults.
“See that? Yet again. This Jia Yan must be relying on so shady tactics. It’s the sa with Mighty Power’s forces, and it was no different with Pingtian’s forces. Just watch—he’ll keep winning this way until he takes the championship.”
“I’ve said it before: his so-called combat power was probably agreed upon with his opponents in advance. How could a dignitary possess such strength? Who would believe that?”
Being blacklisted was nothing new for Jia Yan. He was entirely indifferent to such remarks now, treating them like the barking of dogs and simply ignoring them.
anwhile, so monsters in the audience unexpectedly spoke in defense of Jia Yan.
“What nonsense are you spewing? Haven’t you seen Jia Yan’s attacks and the physical strength he displayed? Everyone here can gauge his capabilities. Just because you claim he’s cheating doesn’t make it true. A dignitary genius fighting tooth and nail to reach this point—can’t you show so decency?”
Jia Yan had never anticipated gaining supporters. When he heard these voices, he felt a mix of surprise and intrigue.
Of course, the battles wouldn’t halt due to the audience creatures’ debates.
In the subsequent matches, it seed that Jia Yan encountered an inexplicable stroke of luck. His opponents were consistently ranked beyond 300.
Fighting against these contestants posed no great danger to Jia Yan, but still required considerable effort to secure victory.
Throughout these bouts, Jia Yan’s newly advanced combat power—yet untapped beyond its initial improvent—grew rapidly with each match.
Finally, when King Er Ding grudgingly announced the conclusion of a major tournant phase, Jia Yan spectacularly advanced to the Top 100!
“Jia Yan actually made it into the Top 100? This luck is just too incredible!”
The creatures from Tornado Forces had long shifted to spectator mode.
Tai Jin had encountered a competitor of similar strength during the Top 300 phase and, after a grueling struggle, conceded due to exhaustion.
In truth, his luck had been quite favorable. If his opponent hadn’t been evenly matched and lacked the strength to kill him following his surrender, Tai Jin might’ve perished.
At this semi-permanent star tier, countless beings desired to kill Tai Jin—and they partly owed this to Jia Yan’s influence.
Before the Top 100 matches began, the tournant held an intermission.
The creatures of Tornado Forces had now been entirely reduced to Jia Yan’s backdrop.
“Jia Yan, I won’t say much anymore. Honestly, I can’t comprehend a genius like you. Just stay safe—that’s all I hope for.”
Tai Jin accompanied Jia Yan to the entrance of the resting chamber.
“Alright, thank you. I will,”
Jia Yan replied briefly, eager to enter the chamber for recovery. He spoke hurriedly.
Short-term recovery from injuries might seem ludicrous to others, but not to Jia Yan. With his evolutionary beast body, healing such wounds during this brief intermission was entirely feasible.
Tai Jin evidently sensed Jia Yan’s urgency and refrained from hindering his recuperation. However, he asked one final question.
“Jia Yan, you ntioned leaving after the Elong Genius Tournant—is your destination the Central Star Area?”
Tai Jin inquired.
“Uh.” Jia Yan paused.
Then, he nodded solemnly. “Yes, though before heading there, I’ll visit the 251 Star Zone to settle so matters. After that, I’ll embark for the Central Star Area.”
Hearing Jia Yan’s response, Tai Jin seed unsurprised and also content. He nodded affirmingly.
“I knew it. With your talent, how could you not go to the Central Star Area? Then, I wish you great success there—may you thrive and eventually achieve stellar-level status.”
