The voice of the Four-eyed Monster was filled with momentum, and although it was pressed beneath the palm, the sense of power it emitted still reached soaring heights. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—————— Punch after punch landed on the center of the palm. The audience finally saw beneath that massive hand, a huge cavern had formed below, and the Four-eyed Monster had apparently dug such an immense cavern in an instant, evading the other’s strike. And now, this creature was attacking desperately, shaking the hand slightly with each hit. "So that’s how you dodged it. However, thinking you can break free from my palm, that’s impossible!" The Stone Giant found the Four-eyed Monster’s evasive technique novel, but his confidence had not waned in the slightest despite the slip-up. His palm pressed down on the cavern, but the relentless attacks from below managed to lift his hand. That punching fist emitted a yellow glow with each strike. "True Energy? He actually achieved perfection! The captain of the Angel Camp has broken through in the heat of battle, cultivating True Energy successfully. He has become one who comprehended True Energy completely at just the Early Stars stage," the host shouted in amazement at the counterattack unleashed by the Four-eyed Monster. "Ah, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit, hit!!" The Four-eyed Monster was striking fiercely. The Stone Giant, though in disbelief, kept retreating. He was indeed Mid-term Star Space, but the opponent was at the peak of the Early stage, and with his True Energy, he was now on par with this Stone Giant at the Early Phase of Mid-stage Star Space. Witnessing his overwhelming advantage turn into a tug of war, the slow-wittedness of the Stone Giant became apparent. As he pondered how he could be overwhelmed by an Early-stage being, the Four-eyed Monster launched several imposing attacks. "I am enraged!" The Stone Giant retreated, as if he had an epiphany and was about to launch an attack. "Alright, I give up." In that moment, the Four-eyed Monster swiftly retreated and yelled. "This Four-eyed Monster, so cunning," Jia Yan said with a slight smile. The Stone Giant’s power far surpassed that of the Four-eyed Monster. Even though he had unleashed his True Energy, the substantial disparity in actual strength meant that True Energy could only have so much effect. Now, relying solely on a burst of frenzied attacks, the Four-eyed Monster had already diminished a considerable amount of the Stone Giant’s energy. Exhausted himself, it was natural for the Four-eyed Monster to admit defeat. "Ah, ah, ah, I’m so angry," the Stone Giant roared like a madman. "So scary," the Four-eyed Monster teased with its inherent cheekiness, pretending to be frightened as it flew out of the ring. "Impressive," Jia Yan praised, thoroughly satisfied. Although this creature wasn’t particularly strong, it promised to wear down the opponent’s energy and delivered, even when facing a significant gap in strength—an uncommon feat. What’s even more commendable is the breakthrough in the midst of battle, be it attributed to luck or the accumulation of small gains leading to sudden success, either way, it had grown stronger. "That was so thrilling, I actually got to fight a Mid-term Star Space Strongest like that, hahaha!" The Four-eyed Monster finally took pride in its own power. "But Jia Yan, he’s been driven crazy by me, so be careful when you go on stage, and just give up if it’s not going well, just like I did. It’s not shameful," the Four-eyed Monster said to Jia Yan. Although it knew Jia Yan was stronger, the opponent was a Mid-term Star Space Strongest; for them, bridging the gap of a whole level was beyond what a slight difference in strength could compensate for. "Don’t worry, I will," Jia Yan said indifferently. But internally... what Jia Yan truly thought, no one knew. "Alright then, Jia Yan, your turn. I believe in you, and wouldn’t be surprised if you win," the Four-eyed Monster said to Jia Yan. "Yeah, Jia Yan, go on, I believe in you too," the Scaled Creature said from the side, cheering him on. "Jia Yan, I suffered a miserable loss; win it back for me," the Pink Monster put forth an almost impossible request to Jia Yan. Jia Yan looked at these beings who had become friends over time and nodded slightly. He knew the things he would do in the future would surely harm them. But it shouldn’t be too severe, considering to the Angel Camp, Jia Yan was just an outsider. "It’s my turn, thank you," Jia Yan oddly expressed his gratitude. Striding forth with his head held high, he ascended the ring. Seeing Jia Yan enter the ring, the Stone Giant started hopping, ready to charge at him. "Kill! Kill you Angels and redeem my humiliation!" "Okay, fight, the battle begins." The Mantis Referee declared the start of the match. The Pink Monster yelled from below. Meanwhile, the Stone Giant bellowed wildly, lunging toward Jia Yan. Jia Yan took a deep breath of the Starry Sky’s air. He realized that being here for so long, he had even become accustomed to the peculiar smell of the air. "During these days, my strength has progressed rapidly; now is the perfect time to test how I fare against a Mid-stage of Star Red opponent," Jia Yan mused. The Stone Giant charged at him, his arms spreading wide in the charge, his massive hands as if controlling the heavens and earth. The looming shadow covered Jia Yan’s entire figure. Jia Yan’s response was similar to the Four-eyed Monster’s; he seemed rooted in place. "You want to dig a hole like him? Wishful thinking!" The Stone Giant’s arms surged with increased strength, and his speed suddenly reached new heights! "Heh..." Jia Yan chuckled. It was something Jia Yan would consider in dire situations, but did he need to against this Stone Giant? Just as the opponent’s arm swung toward him and that huge hand covered Jia Yan’s position, kicking up a skyward plume of dust and obscuring vision in the arena...
