“Hmm…” Zhang Jia instinctively let out a sound, and then that familiar dizziness and severe pain struck him once again.
“Zhang Jia, you’re awake?!” A voice sounded in Zhang Jia's ear, expressing a bit of joy.
Zhang Jia recognized it as the voice of one of his teammates, and then some memories returned to his mind. The second cycle of the novice battlefield had just begun. His squad had only completed one hunt before encountering Dong Chi, the genius of the Tarros Red Dwarf. After that, he was challenged by Dong Chi and lost.
What happened after that, Zhang Jia didn’t know because he had passed out.
“What happened later…” Zhang Jia’s voice was weak, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt nauseous.
That blow from Dong Chi was not easy to bear.
But… even though Zhang Jia had fainted at that time, he still felt something in his heart.
“Zhang Jia, you haven’t fully recovered yet. Just sleep for a while, and we’ll talk when you feel better.” His teammate kindly advised.
At this moment, the condition of the genius from the Musk Ke Star indeed wasn’t suitable for much conversation.
However, Zhang Jia stubbornly refused; he wanted to listen.
His teammates had no choice but to briefly explain what happened after he was hit by that blow.
Dong Chi did not continue his attack, but watched as the Musk Ke Star team rushed over and retrieved Zhang Jia.
From the scene, it looked like Dong Chi didn’t have time to attack, but Zhang Jia knew that at that time, although Dong Chi was injured, it wasn't light, he definitely still had the capability to attack again.
It seemed his feelings were right; Dong Chi did not intend to kill him, or rather, he had held back at that moment.
Zhang Jia closed his eyes and sighed in his heart.
………………
“Still angry? It's just a battle between juniors; is it worth you, a great clan leader, to be gloomy about it?” Yao Han Su had no airs of a Su Clan Leader at all. At this moment, he was playing cards with two members of the red dress guard and a guy from the Assault Camp, causing the people in Cloud Summit Manor to be taken aback.
Since Zhang Jia lost, Bi Yin had become a bit quiet, while Yao Han Su continued to play cards and tease.
Bi Yin almost rolled his eyes.
Did he think everyone was as lackadaisical as he was?
Zhang Jia’s defeat indeed made Bi Yin quite dissatisfied; after all, Zhang Jia was a member of their clan, while Dong Chi was just an agent.
However, he didn’t think much of it. In the entire clan, he placed his hopes highest on his daughter. Everyone had seen her performance in last year’s novice battlefield.
“That Dong Chi held back; considering the character of those dwarves, he will definitely be held accountable when he returns. That kid is good; do you think we can recruit him?” Yao Han Su continued.
“What are you thinking? Those dwarves wouldn’t even give him to others as a servant. Little Ye, isn't he the most obvious example? They would give up on him themselves, but once you stop playing with them, they will want to get rid of you.”
Ye Zhongming was also rolling his eyes at the side. Was this nickname “Little Ye” something your son-in-law told you?
“Speaking of which, I’m very, very curious. When those dwarves realize Zhong Ming’s abilities, how regretful will they be? An opportunity to have four divine artisans in the same era! It might be a scene that will never appear again, missed because of their pride. Their God of Manufacture would probably be so angry he would jump out of his coffin.”
Huo Zhi was studying an ancient formation technique scroll brought by Ye Zhongming from the Library Palace while smiling and speaking.
If Ye Zhongming had become the agent of the Tarros Red Dwarves from the start, then with his talent, perhaps in just a few years, he would become a divine artisan. In that case, he could hardly imagine what kind of changes such a rapidly producing and highly successful divine artisan would bring to the universe, supported by the technology and logistics of the dwarves.
