Reborn As An Interstellar Giant Mosquito

”He didn’t use his real Assassin, then I won’t use mine either.”

Jia Yan smiled, then retreated into the interior of the Subspace.

Bang.

The Giant Horn thrust with one breath and stabbed into empty air.

”Hm? He finally used his own Subspace Talent, huh. Just like only now I can force him to use his Subspace Talent...”

The Giant Horn wasn’t particularly shocked by Jia Yan hiding in the Subspace, because everyone had been here for a year; they all more or less knew each other’s intel.”

A large part of Jia Yan’s strength was invested in his Subspace Talent, so everyone treated his Subspace Talent like his calling card, stamped right on Jia Yan’s forehead.

Now, Jia Yan finally chose not to fight head-on and instead retreated into the Subspace, dodging this move that looked like an Assassin, which made the Giant Horn sigh a bit bitterly, because it felt like Jia Yan had recognized his strength and begun to take him seriously.

”Hmph, so what if you use it? Next, I’ll make you lose to me even in Subspace combat!”

The Giant Horn secretly glanced toward the palace, where the Insect Clan Queen resided. He found that the Insect Clan Queen had no intention of stopping him from using this weakened, pseudo-Assassin move, and he immediately let out a sigh of relief.

In a sense, this counted as cheating, or rather, as breaking the basic rules of this fight, but since the Insect Clan Queen said nothing, no one else would say anything either.

Jia Yan was someone many looked down on, so no one would speak up for Jia Yan.

”You think hiding in the Subspace works? Watch me scramble your Subspace and see where you hide then!”

This Giant Horn creature’s pair of massive horns, the blackness before them, after being dodged by Jia Yan, instantly detonated into a mass of black mist.

This mist was terrifying to the extreme; with a single instant of Devouring, it filled the entire region of space with blackness.

What shocked the bystanders even more was that the mist actually seeped into the Subspace.

The mist that infiltrated the Subspace interior twisted the entire Subspace distortion to the very limit.

The One-Degree Subspace was like this, and the Two-Degree Subspace was the same.

Even the Three-Degree Subspace showed a sizable degree of distortion after just an instant.

In a place like this, even a Subspace Talent existence would find it very hard to move.

After all, once you reach a Middle-Stage Galactic Lifeform, you have some understanding of either the Subspace or the gravitational wave system. So disrupting stability inside the Subspace and the gravitational wave system to cause a huge impact on such Talents is not anything surprising; it’s practically standard gear—everyone knows how.

However, you have your schemes and I have my bridge. Jia Yan inside the Subspace was of course not going to let a non-Subspace Talent creature affect him that deeply just like that.

After all, he was the one with the Subspace Talent. How could a non-Sub-dimension organism casually affect a Subspace Talent being?

It was like a gun expert getting thrown off for a moment by some enemy who didn’t even know how to use a gun, but next, in his own field of expertise, he would still easily shoot the enemy dead.

Everyone knew this, and the Giant Horn had his own reasons for doing this, of course.

The biggest reason was to destroy Jia Yan’s foothold in the Subspace, so that he would be unable to stand within the Subspace interior at all, forcing Jia Yan to appear and abandon his greatest Talent advantage. That way, the Giant Horn might have a chance to defeat Jia Yan.

Of course, that was the plan. But would Jia Yan do as he wished?

”Stabilize for me!”

Buzz!

Inside the Subspace, as Jia Yan released a shocking burst of Talent Power within the Three-Degree Subspace, the surrounding Subspace actually stabilized completely.

The terrifying Black Power the Giant Horn had just released was actually stabilized by Jia Yan.

”How is that possible? Wasn’t it said before that his Subspace Talent wasn’t at this level? How did he improve this much in just a year?”

The Giant Horn was stunned.

Even the group of other Galaxy Level creatures around them were shocked.

Jia Yan’s Subspace Talent had already been picked apart by others before, and everyone had reached a conclusion: most of Jia Yan’s Subspace Talent relied purely on raw Talent. Some suspected he could already enter the depth of the Eight-Degree Subspace, but his utilization of his Subspace Talent was very low because he came from a barren region, where there were no methods to teach him Subspace Cultivation.

Yet no one expected that just a year later, This Jia Yan would actually have learned how to stabilize the Subspace disruptions caused by others.

Even if this stabilization didn’t look that practiced, it was definitely enough to keep him from being forced out of the Subspace Third layer.

”Damn it, so this is the result of the Queen’s teaching? If it were me instead, my utilization of the Giant Horn would definitely improve too. So Jia Yan, you have to lose, otherwise in the future we’ll never get to carve up the time the Queen spends training you.”

The Giant Horn’s expression twisted into something extremely ferocious.

Everyone thought this was all because Jia Yan had received the Insect Clan Queen’s guidance, which was why he’d made such earth-shattering progress in a year.

But what they didn’t know was that, although in this year Jia Yan had indeed asked the Insect Clan Queen about his own Subspace Talent, most of his questions were about basic Cultivation knowledge. As for his own Subspace Talent, he hadn’t asked too much, because Jia Yan knew the Insect Clan Queen wasn’t a Subspace Talent existence; even if she was a Territory Master and knew plenty of related knowledge, teaching someone who could almost enter The Ninth Dimensional Subspace shouldn’t be possible for her.

So the progress of this year was in fact the result of Jia Yan slowly working things out on his own after improving his basic knowledge.

Of course it couldn’t be separated from the Insect Clan Queen’s teaching, but the biggest reason was still Jia Yan’s own cleverness and ability to infer many things from one example. Without that, how could he be applying this in real combat right now?

”Hehe, lose to me.”

Seeing that he’d stabilized the Subspace, Jia Yan smiled faintly. Then, from within the Subspace interior, he suddenly shot straight from the stabilized Third layer to the twisted Second layer, then to the First layer, charging forward all the way. The unstable Second and First layers of the Subspace interior actually stabilized in an instant.

”How is that possible!”

The Giant Horn, who had just been shocked that Jia Yan could stabilize the Subspace, was even more stunned now.

He had heard of Talented Persons who could stabilize the Subspace, but he had never heard of one who could instantly calm an already chaotic Subspace. How the hell did This Jia Yan pull that off?

And just in the instant he was distracted, Jia Yan had already rushed out from the Subspace interior.

Next, a foreleg suddenly burst out of the Subspace in front of the Giant Horn’s head, which had just released that black mist, jumping from the Subspace into normal space and pressing right onto the Giant Horn’s head.

The front tip of that leg was glowing with bright blue light; you could see how incredibly sharp the tip had become.

If it pierced into the Giant Horn’s head, the likely result would be death.

”You lost, Senior Giant Horn!”

Jia Yan’s laughter drifted faintly from within the twisted Subspace.

The exchange between experts often ended this quickly. No matter how unwilling the Giant Horn was, no matter that the surrounding creatures hadn’t had their fill of watching, over was over.

A tiny accident, or a hidden trump card, could be enough to decide victory or defeat in an instant.

”I...”

The Giant Horn was instantly dumbfounded.

He had never imagined he could lose so cleanly.

All because after he disrupted the Subspace, his Energy, having released a certain amount of the Assassin, couldn’t return to his body for a short time.

He had naturally assumed that Jia Yan, having just been affected by the chaotic Subspace, would be unable to attack him head-on for the time being, which led to a brief moment of carelessness; if he had really strained to recover, he should still have been able to react.

Besides, this Assassin of his wasn’t even the full version. If he had used the complete version, the effect on the Subspace chaos probably wouldn’t have been something Jia Yan could so easily undo.
