Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito

Capítulo 1952: Chapter 7: I Can’t Pass?

The bald man instantly raised his evaluation of Jia Yan.

His fist swept again.

And in front of him, Jia Yan was just satisfied with a new application of his brainwave power, but before this feeling of satisfaction ended, the man had already swung another punch.

Jia Yan had to dodge helplessly.

The opponent’s physique, in fact, might have been difficult to defeat before Jia Yan used the bluish defense, so Jia Yan didn’t want to fight him.

After all, Jia Yan wasn’t truly proficient in close combat; his strengths have always been subspace talents or simulating some special abilities through brainwave power.

Now, having slashed away his brainwave power and subspace talent, it’s like cutting off his sharpest claws, leaving Jia Yan with no strength to exert, and even unable to use certain techniques, he had to resort to close combat.

This was done out of helplessness, and the bald man wasn’t wrong; Jia Yan indeed isn’t skilled in close combat, but there’s no other choice.

The two sides continued like this, the man using all his skills, while Jia Yan seemed not to exert all his strength, engaging him in combat.

His brainwave power was spread throughout his body, allowing him to utilize brainwave power to a certain extent in the fight.

And the man felt deep terror because at first, during the close combat with Jia Yan, he felt he was suppressing this mysterious flying creature.

But as the fight went on, he noticed this creature was gradually growing stronger, beyond his imagination.

This wasn’t a sudden increase in strength all at once but rather, as the fight continued, the creature demonstrated the strength it should have.

Moreover, what scared him even more was that, until now, there wasn’t a trace of ‘Dao’ in its presence.

This was suffocating to him.

Without using the power of ‘Dao’, it could already cause him to fight with all his strength; what if the opponent used its ‘Dao’?

He couldn’t even imagine this level of power.

On the other side, Jia Yan felt a slight joy.

Because when he used brainwave power in his body, he felt that his brainwave power wasn’t unusable but could be used in certain parts of his body, though the strength felt reduced compared to the outside world.

Being able to use brainwave power at all was his greatest joy.

Therefore, during this time, Jia Yan’s strength surged rapidly, instantly reaching a level the bald man couldn’t handle.

Puff.

When a forefoot stamped against the bald man’s body, he suddenly spat blood, flew backward, and hit the tree house’s roof, then fell to the ground, instantly losing combat power.

“Cough, you won.”

The bald man’s face showed disbelief as he shakily got up from the ground.

Little did he know, his appearance of being unbothered also surprised Jia Yan because he genuinely felt the man was unhurt, even though Jia Yan had used all the brainwave power he could muster, delivering a full-force blow, yet it failed to harm the man.

This made Jia Yan more wary of the ‘grand elder’ who hadn’t yet appeared.

Unbeknownst to him, as he used his forefoot to injure the bald man in one strike, the elderly man with white hair and beard at the top of the tree house’s face changed.

“Enough, this friend is likely comparable in strength to mine, for him to defeat Lao San without using Dao. If I don’t use Dao, I’m around this level too. Since our strengths are similar, it’s worth me greeting him personally.”

After the grand elder’s expression changed slightly, he dared not underestimate the incoming outsider’s strength and decided to personally come out of the top hut and walk down.

Meanwhile, Jia Yan had passed all the tests.

In other words, he successfully walked the path to Dao.

Others behind him probably hadn’t even passed the second test.

“Alright, you just go find the grand elder yourself, but the grand elder will likely wait for others to arrive together, and won’t explain to you alone.”

The bald man rubbed the spot where Jia Yan had struck, looking quite displeased.

After all, as a gatekeeper, he was very confident in his strength, believing that within this species, apart from the grand elder and two other top experts, his strength was relatively good.

But now, the situation was a blatant slap in the face, making him look extremely unpleasant, and he felt deeply humiliated.

Of course, feeling humiliated doesn’t help; in this world, similar to the universe outside, strong ones are respected. At least, no one dares to say anything in front of someone who defeated them.

Talking nonsense? Getting killed would be self-inflicted.

Of course, he wouldn’t show a good face to Jia Yan either; in his view, no matter how strong this arriving creature was, it couldn’t be stronger than the grand elder. So he said this to subtly mock Jia Yan.

“Little San, you must not be rude to our distinguished guest. This friend possesses the same power level as mine, dear sir.”

The grand elder’s cold snort suddenly echoed from the tree house.

“Grand elder?”

Seeing an elderly man with graying whiskers appear, the bald man’s face drastically changed, and he immediately lowered his head.

And on the other side, Jia Yan was also taken aback by the sudden appearance of the so-called ‘grand elder.’

Because even he didn’t know how the grand elder appeared.

So at that moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

However, outwardly, he remained calm.

Because he didn’t know how strong the grand elder truly was, even if he used his trump cards, whether he could win was uncertain, so at that moment, Jia Yan didn’t underestimate him further.

“Friend, you come from afar; I apologize for not welcoming you sooner.”

The grand elder, with his grey beard actually appearing like an ordinary old man, respectfully clasped his hands in front of Jia Yan.

“It’s me who suddenly intruded, bringing trouble to your species. Actually, I just heard about this grand event here and came to see. I hope I didn’t cause you any inconvenience.”

Jia Yan’s thoughts turned, and he hurriedly replied politely to the elder-like creature with some niceties.

Both sides were cautious.

Jia Yan calculated, feeling there was still a gap compared to the opponent’s strength, but the other side misunderstood, thinking Jia Yan was concealing strength by not using ‘Dao’, estimating that Jia Yan’s real strength was similar to the grand elder’s.

So at that moment, both had concerns, showing a peaceful front.

Jia Yan let out a deep breath, guessing a bit from the grand elder’s attitude.

No matter what the elder thought, Jia Yan didn’t want to fight; he wanted to see what the world’s so-called Dao was all about.

“Oh? Lord Jia Yan is interested in my Dao? But you should know, the Dao I teach the juniors is only basic. If Lord Jia Yan wants formal exchange, how about I invite a few friends to host a joint research meeting soon?”

The elder was genuinely surprised that Jia Yan wanted to hear about his ‘Dao.’

Because the Dao he discusses with juniors wouldn’t be anything advanced, and this creature he hadn’t seen before was interested in hearing such a basic explanation?
