Chapter 971: Chapter 971
In fact, previous contests had gradually developed a similar pattern, with the real harvesting being of no interest to anyone, as no power cared about a small number of Chaos stones. They participated in the contest just for the reputation of their own forces and for personal fame.
"What stars do you think this contest has made, eh? I think, aside from the victorious Zeji Team, there are a few dark horses who can be considered winners too,"
"And there’s the Angel Camp. You know, before this, they had no fame at all, but after this contest, their reputation has skyrocketed. It seems that their power is destined to develop more smoothly in this galaxy."
"Isn’t Angel Camp relying solely on Jia Yan? But Jia Yan is just so-so. Against the real strong ones, he’s always beaten badly, never winning a fight. If he was any good, couldn’t he beat a middle-order powerhouse? I think he’s all about fishing for fame, doomed to be forgotten by everyone in the future,"
A few reporters were discussing the impressive figures of this harvesting contest. As journalists with a keen sense, they quickly analyzed a few powerful presences, but no one was optimistic about Jia Yan.
Just as they were having their conversation...
Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!———
A thunderous explosion sounded explosively right beside these reporters. None of them were strong ones; some immediately experienced tinnitus, and several reporters couldn’t withstand the blast and collapsed onto the ground.
Only those of Earth Level or above were not too much affected, and now, looking terrified, they focused their gaze on the source of the loud noise.
The explosion was at the passage!
They were all extremely surprised; the materials used for this interstellar passage were no ordinary ones. If a powerful being could damage it, they would believe it, but the only powerful beings here were the subordinates of the top ten experts. Would these experts destroy their own things? It was impossible.
All of them were looking, somewhat shocked, toward the area that had just exploded violently, and then they saw a dark monster struggling out.
"Isn’t that Jia Yan we were just talking about? How is it possible, his speed is so fast!"
One of the slightly stronger reporters recognized Jia Yan’s face. After all, there are various strong ones among the reporters, and this one was at the Heavenly Peak. Although he might be nothing in front of a Starry Sky Level Expert, it was somewhat possible for him to clearly see the figure of Jia Yan from a distance — the farther the distance, the harder it is to see fast-moving objects.
"Jia Yan? How could it be him!" several uninjured reporters on the side asked in shock.
However, the reporter at the Heavenly Peak was too occupied to respond to them. Right now, this powerhouse was looking at the scene in the sky, unable to find words.
As it turned out, a series of figures suddenly emerged behind Jia Yan, bursting through that hollow passage, each one only slightly slower than Jia Yan who had appeared before them.
What left the reporter dumbstruck was the stature of each one - to beings struggling for a living in this galaxy, every one of them was an unimaginably distinguished presence!
And they were each an unbelievable powerhouse!
"What! Isn’t that Lord Pai Lan? One of the top ten strong ones chasing after Jia Yan?" the reporter exclaimed in shock.
And on the other side, several reporters, not powerful enough to discern details, could only see shadows flying and fighting in the sky. But hearing the words of the stronger reporter, these reporters were all staring wide-eyed in complete amazement.
"What, you’re saying that Lord Pai Lan in the sky is chasing after Jia Yan? Wasn’t Jia Yan very weak? How could it warrant Lord Pai Lan to personally chase after him? Wasn’t he someone who couldn’t even defeat a Mid-Starry Sky Period powerhouse? And now he’s being pursued by Lord Pai Lan personally?!"
The powerful reporter, seeing Lord Pai Lan and then the tiny being slowly emerging from the torn passage, couldn’t help but bug out his eyes in astonishment!
"This is... could it be Star Martial Lord? What have Jia Yan done to deserve even Star Martial Lord taking action? But, his speed, it truly seems to have greatly increased, no! It’s incomparably faster. Oh, his defensive power has even withstood Lord Pai Lan’s attacks. What’s going on, is my world going crazy? The previously powerless Jia Yan, how could he become such a fearsome being?"
The reporter was muttering under his breath, constantly doubting himself.
Meanwhile, the other reporters exchanged glances, sniffing what might be the biggest news of the decades.
Hastily, they set up their equipment. Although many of their assistants had collapsed, as beings capable of resisting the blast, how could they fail to handle this situation? Even though they couldn’t see clearly the combat above, they started live broadcasting right away.
