Chapter 2875 - 23: Competing Subspace Abilities!

The Star River Middle Stage creature with hooves wasn’t actually that bad, but he happened to be the type that Jia Yan wasn’t very afraid of.

Just like opposing attributes, it’s a sorrow among strong creatures. Although strength is strength, under the suppression of levels, no amount of opposition can withstand a crushing blow. But if the strengths aren’t too dissimilar, it gets a bit frustrating, because someone whose power counters yours, even if weaker, can definitely suppress you in an instant.

Jia Yan’s strength already exceeded that of the hoofed creature. Although he was being besieged, with his Subspace Talent, he could dissolve their assault to the greatest extent possible. Hence, this creature, who originally coordinated precisely with the subspace organism, became a bit unlucky, because their cooperation completely fell apart.

Puff.

The hoofed Star River Middle Stage creature was stabbed into its hoof by Jia Yan’s foot wrapped in metal, and then his entire foot exploded.

"Heh... You better not want this hoof anymore. Boom!"

Jia Yan smiled slightly, his Giant Mosquito eyes twinkling with vigor, and coldly shouted.

The opponent’s hoof seemed to have some sort of bomb buried within, exploding in an instant.

"Damn it!"

Realizing the danger, the hoofed creature hurriedly retreated.

As Jia Yan was about to pursue, he suddenly felt a fast-moving figure almost stuck to his side in the subspace behind him.

"Your Subspace Talent indeed exceeds my expectations, but our directions differ. I can do what you can’t..."

The opponent wasn’t affected at all by his partner getting heavily injured by Jia Yan, but instead, used his Subspace Talent to abruptly rush into the front of Jia Yan’s body.

Buzz.

Just as Jia Yan was about to attack, the opponent turned, and a subspace distortion suddenly appeared out of thin air, blocking his attack.

This distortion immediately rendered his counterattack useless.

"Hmm?"

Jia Yan was slightly startled.

He’d never seen this kind of subspace application before, it was a real eye-opener.

His usual subspace applications were to use his talent to do things like sinking into subspace or quickly moving within it—simple tricks, to be honest. Without such a good talent, his ability to utilize subspace would be really low.

But this Subspace Talent creature of the opponent was completely different.

Combat within subspace should be rare for every subspace being, after all, such entities aren’t plentiful.

Yet under such circumstances, regardless of Talent’s strength, someone who uses it well can indeed have strong combat capability to some degree.

Thinking about it makes sense; although Jia Yan is talented, his growth time is too short. Not that his combat skill refinement was weaker than others, but his overall time was too brief. Others ponder combat matters daily for hundreds of years, naturally developing many combat techniques. Moreover, this is the heart of Civilization among the strong in the galaxy, with a diversity of powerhouses. Even if this enemy hasn’t encountered many with the same Subspace Talent, he surely has more experience than Jia Yan. Through interactions, he mastered utilization tactics for Subspace Talent more efficiently than Jia Yan, which is only logical.

"Hehe, powerful talent isn’t considered strength, I heard you can enter the Eight or Nine Degrees, or even with machine aid, the Tenth-degree subspace, right? So enviable, I can only enter the Seventh-degree subspace, but as long as you don’t enter the Tenth-degree subspace, I can find a way to defeat you!"

This opponent with Subspace Talent actually started taunting Jia Yan within the subspace since Jia Yan couldn’t injure him.

"Oh? Your confidence is misplaced."

Jia Yan glanced around the subspace, realizing he’d long set up matter-antimatter explosive meteorites in the area, but now feared the enemy might exploit or uncover them.

"Those small meteorites, huh? I’ve known for a while. Though I don’t know why you put them in subspace, certainly to crash into others, right? Using such tricks at this level, truly sadly for you, how weak must the outer strong culture be."

The Subspace Talent creature tried to shake Jia Yan’s resolve with words.

But he spoke very accurately; Jia Yan’s subspace utilization was almost childlike.

Regardless, Jia Yan wasn’t dejected, knowing that despite the ridicule, the opponent still appeared nervous, showing he regarded Jia Yan with significant caution.

Whether a rural dweller, ignorant, or getting ridiculed, Jia Yan’s strength was undeniable. Previously injuring their Star River Middle Stage creature was straightforward. In this universe, power is everything, and even if someone from the countryside possesses invincible strength, this bustling starfield’s core will have anyone bow down to them.

Moreover, aside from guessing Jia Yan aimed to use meteorites for collision, the opponent completely missed that Jia Yan’s seemingly small, simple approach concealed something else he entirely missed.
