"How could this be? How could I not land a hit on him!"
The Bear Monster was shocked.
As a High-Level Genius, this Bear-type Monster was immensely confident. Toward Jia Yan, a newcomer whose position and expectations seemed to surpass those of ordinary High-Level Geniuses like himself, he was indignant.
Although he was officially regarded as an ordinary High-Level Genius, he believed that his true combat power wasn't inferior to that of a top-tier High-Level Genius. History had examples of such situations—such as in the present-day Central Star Area, where there's a Semi-permanent Star Level powerhouse among the ordinary High-Level Geniuses, even top-tier High-Level Geniuses have to show him respect.
Thus, while attacking Jia Yan now, the Bear Monster was confident. Earlier, he had even worried about hitting too hard and potentially injuring Jia Yan; after all, Jia Yan was one of their own, and causing harm wouldn't be proper.
But after several strikes, he was stunned.
