CHAPTER 1696: CHAPTER 24: PRE-BATTLE PREPARATIONS

"Oh? No shipyards, you say? What if I find one? Would you... be willing to die?"

Jia Yan couldn’t believe that there wouldn’t be a single shipyard on such a massive planet. Otherwise, what would happen if any tourist ship had issues? Drag them to another planet for repairs?

"This... please, my lord, there are, there are repair yards, just not very large ones. If they can’t satisfy you, I hope you won’t take it to heart, my lord."

The secondary level creature initially wanted to shirk off what was undoubtedly going to be a troublesome task from Jia Yan.

After all, the Adisa looked clearly attacked, and this stellar-level person came from the direction of the Stellar Academy. If this damage had no relation to the Academy, why not repair it there?

He was afraid of inviting trouble, and indeed, this planet had no powerful repair yards.

But since Jia Yan had already spoken, he had no choice but to help.

Ten minutes later, Ji Yan received information on several repair yards.

"This one then."

Casually selecting the nearest repair yard, Jia Yan used Brainwave Power to pull in the secondary level merchant into the Adisa at a speed at which the merchant couldn’t react.

"My lord, I already said, I have other matters... mmm..."

The secondary level merchant was almost in tears.

Nevertheless, Jia Yan didn’t abuse him much, as besides the repair yard matters, there were other things this creature could help with.

Shortly after Jia Yan arrived on this planet, a piece of news rapidly spread across the entire planet!

"A stellar-level Strong One has arrived on our planet, it seems even the starfield’s fame has reached the ears of a stellar-level lord. Never before has a stellar-level being deigned to stop by our planet; it’s amazing!"

For this kind of tourist planet, having a stellar-level being stay there is almost a dream come true.

This occurrence would lead such an ordinary planet to suddenly become much more famous!

Though there are plenty of stellar-level strong ones within the Stellar Academy, they rarely visit nearby starfields. Even if they pass by, they wouldn’t stay. Hence, a stellar-level being stopping on the planet is an honor for any local creature.

Of course, if these beings knew Jia Yan was a terrifying powerhouse almost considered an enemy of the Stellar Academy, they might not be so pleased!

"Um, senior, we can’t repair this spacecraft at all!"

While the whole planet was abuzz about a stellar-level strong one landing, Jia Yan, the person at the center of the storm, had already brought the secondary level merchant to the repair yard.

But the moment the workers saw Jia Yan and the damaged Adisa, their expressions changed drastically.

Their repair yard could barely accommodate the Adisa; other tourist ships were hurriedly removed, almost causing the dock to burst.

Under such circumstances, it was clear they were completely incapable of repairing the Adisa.

"Who said you needed to repair it? I’ll do it myself! Prepare the tools for me, and you guys can leave first."

Jia Yan knew the situation was urgent and didn’t have time to explain. Stellar-level strong ones inherently possess this kind of power and authority in the Starry Sky; even when treated unjustly by them, who dares to speak up?

One must know a stellar-level strong one has the ability to wipe out all life on a Life Star.

"Yes, we’re leaving now!"

The group of repair yard creatures frantically fled the dock in terror, leaving their business behind!

Who would dare to care? Knowing that gigantic flying being was a stellar-level strong one, only someone with a death wish would argue with them.

The secondary level merchant also wanted to leave, but after just a few steps, his entire body tightened, and he couldn’t move at all!

"Did you forget you still need to help me find materials? Don’t leave just yet!"

Jia Yan said, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Yes, my lord, I’ll get right to it!"

The secondary level creature was almost in tears.

If he had known he would run into this situation, he would have never offered service when seeing the Adisa today. His own sharp mouth had gotten him into trouble!

Jia Yan didn’t bother about the secondary level creature’s thoughts. He was now observing the damage to the Adisa.

"Master, I’ll use the Adisa’s miniature robots for the repair process, but it cannot be disturbed. Now that you’ve caused such a commotion on this planet, surely the Stellar Academy knows you’re here. According to my calculations, we’ll be attacked in no more than forty hours. You’ll need to hold out for ten hours; I wonder if that’s possible?"

Adisa came before Jia Yan, giving its assessment.

As a Smart Brain, its judgment on the Adisa is very precise. Coupled with the observation of strong ones from the Stellar Academy before, the calculated arrival time of the opponent aligns with Jia Yan’s own estimation.

"Ten hours short, huh? I need to hold off the opponent for ten hours and prevent them from attacking the Adisa?"

Jia Yan heard this and immediately felt overwhelmed. It must be known that previously he found it extremely difficult to deal with a stellar-level Xi Fei, and now he wasn’t sure if he would encounter an even stronger stellar-level adversary. If he did, preserving himself would be considered good, how could he take care of the Adisa?

"No, if that’s the case..."

A spark flashed in the Compound Eyes of Jia Yan, and then it seemed that he made a decision!

"I’ll take the initiative to strike! At least in the Starry Sky, there would be more room for maneuver!"

Jia Yan made up his mind, then glanced at the Adisa, and proceeded to make a series of arrangements, even creating a diversionary tactic.

Then, he shot off like lightning towards a certain direction in the Starry Sky!

The Adisa is now the guarantee of his rapid mobility in the Universe. Without her, he couldn’t achieve his real goal of cosmic roaming, so ensuring the Adisa’s successful repair is something Jia Yan must accomplish!

In the interstellar sky, Jia Yan arrived at this place.

The nameless tourist star behind him had become just a small point, and at this moment, it seemed some news had reached the tourist star, leading to signs of chaos across the planet.

However, Jia Yan was not concerned with this much.

"Just now, I even had the secondary level merchants conduct repairs necessary purchases; now, there’s not much time left for me."

Calculating the time, over twenty hours had passed, and Jia Yan didn’t have much time to make arrangements.

But that doesn’t mean Jia Yan would abandon making arrangements!

"Fights between stellar-level Strong Ones are entirely based on Domains, and although I have a Domain prototype now, instantly forming a complete Domain is still unrealistic."

"But I have other methods!"

He calmly thought about his strengths.

After the Advancement to Eternal Star Rank, Jia Yan’s advantages were equally immense, such as physical abilities and the body’s Antimatter Explosive Ability.

Adding the black hole, and although he hasn’t fully matured his combat system, it currently isn’t showing so prominently, but indeed he has many advantages in this regard!

"However, no matter how many advantages, I still don’t know how many stellar-level Strong Ones I have to face, so I need to be absolutely vigilant. Let’s arrange the things I can now effectively..."

He pondered and began his tactical arrangements!

"First, there’s the energy material found on that planet earlier. Although it can’t help me much, anything that might restore some of my strength could potentially play a decisive role in battle."

"Then, there’s the surrounding Subspace!"

Jia Yan still had a significant advantage, which seemed not so effective now, the Subspace Talent.

Though it had been breached several times by other stellar-level Strong Ones, it was just because Jia Yan’s current strength wasn’t enough to compare with ordinary stellar levels. If he reached the standard of the ordinary stellar level, this Subspace Talent would definitely be of great use.

"They mainly use two ways to disrupt my Subspace movement: first is Brainwave Power interference, and second is Domain penetration. And to break these two methods is rather simple..."

Sparkles flashed in Jia Yan’s eyes, then he retreated into Subspace.

He made a series of arrangements!

Thus, another twenty hours passed.

"Alright, though these arrangements can’t be said to be perfect, it is already my full effort with what I can do now."

When Jia Yan finally stopped, his gaze suddenly froze!

Because Jia Yan saw, in the extremely distant place from where he arranged everything, several seemingly tiny Shadows were approaching rapidly, like deathly lights moving towards Jia Yan’s location!

"Have they come? Then it’s fate now..."

Jia Yan’s heart slightly tensed.

In reality, Jia Yan understood very well that the other party certainly knew his reliance was on the Adisa. Without this rapid flight means, no matter how good a fighter Jia Yan was, he would surely be like a Turtle in the Jar within the Stellar Academy force range, with not a single chance of escaping.

After all, now he can only cause damage to the Early stage of the stellar level; no one would expect Jia Yan to harm even an Intermediate Star Level.

Not to mention the Mysterious powerhouse who had even struck Adisa hidden deep in Subspace!

So, he must protect the Adisa well.

"Hope this time, they won’t send out Intermediate Star Level Strong Ones, otherwise, I’ll really be helpless."

Jia Yan eyed the few massive battleships approaching rapidly, driven by distorted curvature engines, almost arriving in front of him just moments after he saw them.

"Jia Yan! You disregarded the principle of friendly combat, unjustly killed two stellar-level Strong Ones of the Stellar Academy, deserving death ten times over. Now, do you surrender and let yourself be captured, or shall we take you back to the Stellar Academy by force!?"
