Chapter 1398: Chapter 10 How Strong This Power Must Be [Please Subscribe to the Official Version] Jia Yan hadn’t expected that the talent he displayed would actually become the benchmark by which the opposition judged the strength of ’Ting Tian Pavilion.’ He was now analyzing the opposing side’s claims, evaluating whether the task was feasible.
"The raiding forces, or rather gangs, likely aren’t overly powerful. Even if they have intermediate talent semi-permanent star level members, they shouldn’t have anyone at high-level talent semi-permanent star level. With my current strength, this might be worth a try."
Jia Yan analyzed several clues and ultimately made a decision.
"Alright, I can take this job, but you’ll need to pay a deposit—ten thousand Genius Yuan." Jia Yan said to the secondary-level genius on the other end of the communicator.
"Ten thousand? Fine, I’ll pay!"
The monster seemed to lack understanding of the Dark Realm’s transactional norms and, gritting its teeth, half in desperation, immediately transferred ten thousand Genius Yuan.
Within seconds, Jia Yan received a notification from his Smart Brain: the payment had been received.
"Straightforward personality—clients like this are wonderful." Jia Yan chuckled.
What he didn’t know was that the employer was truly at wit’s end. Their own capabilities couldn’t possibly handle the star thief gang, and attempting to enlist other agencies only resulted in rejection. They had already been conned out of funds several times before, but seeing that Jia Yan’s tone didn’t carry the usual air of deception, they resigned themselves to trusting him one last time.
Soon after, a faint glimmer quietly rose from the nameless celestial body on which Jia Yan was stationed, drifting into the Universe Starry Sky.
In the cosmos, this glimmer quickly dove into subspace, heading in a specific direction.
"Didn’t expect the destination to be this close."
The glimmer was none other than Jia Yan, piloting his Conceptual Ship. As he flew through the Universe, he reviewed the documents provided by the employer.
Having accepted the deposit, Jia Yan wouldn’t breach protocol—after all, he wasn’t the type to act solely for monetary gain.
Principles mattered in one’s conduct, after all.
Jia Yan left his secondary-level Avatar on the celestial body. During the last escape battle, although the avatar hadn’t directly fought a semi-permanent star level opponent, its injuries were still severe. Without its natural talent for self-repair, it might have perished. Jia Yan left it there for healing.
The employer originally intended to meet with Jia Yan at Ting Tian Pavilion, only for Jia Yan to casually say, "No need to wait too long—I’ll act first, then we can meet afterward."
Though the remark seemed responsible, it left the employer feeling utterly cold inside. Having been scammed several times before, they feared going through the same ordeal again. The notion of Jia Yan acting first raised concerns—wouldn’t others from Ting Tian Pavilion still handle the follow-up?
Ignoring the employer’s despair, Jia Yan entered subspace and continued onward, arriving at a commercial star belonging to a small faction.
At this star, Jia Yan made a brief stop.
He purchased some energy materials to replenish his Conceptual Ship’s depleted reserves.
As for space stones, there were none openly available for sale from any factions, and even if there were, Jia Yan’s borderline penniless status made the idea of purchasing them laughable.
Heading into this mission, his conditions could be described as utterly frugal.
In a remote Starfield void of any celestial bodies, a dark-colored monstrous figure clawed through the fabric of space and emerged from a subspace location.
"It should be around here. Better investigate first."
Jia Yan surveyed his surroundings.
He’d arrived at the location where the employer had been raided. Without delay, Jia Yan began his inspection.
This region marked the border between the Dark Realm and the normal zones—a liminal space. One could categorize it as part of either domain.
Jia Yan gazed at the endless Universe Starry Sky, his Compound Eyes flashing with faint, peculiar colors.
He took a single step forward and, using subspace, appeared ten thousand kilometers away.
In this area, scattered remnants of battleships—destroyed to the point of being irreparable—floated silently.
"Seems this is the scene of the incident."
Understanding the situation, Jia Yan’s expression darkened as he scrutinized the damage to the battleships.
The wreckage was extensively destroyed, and the force evident in the attacks indicated that the culprits were secondary-level powerhouses.
The only silver lining was the lack of any semi-permanent star level presence among the attacking forces.
"I’m unfamiliar with this area. Generally speaking, such operations are usually carried out by nearby minor factions or gangs. Let’s see if there are any small forces active here."
Jia Yan extended his form and began scouring the surrounding Starry Sky.
Having no prior experience conducting similar tasks, Jia Yan’s
This horrifying display silenced the six or seven secondary-level members who had just launched from the star to join the fight.
They were speechless.
