In fact, earlier Jia Yan considered directly using explosive means, even some ultimate tactics he had thought of, to defeat this Bemond and establish his prestige.
But after thinking while fighting, he realized that wouldn't work.
Defeating a middle-level presence of the Star River may look impressive here, but Bemond is relatively weak among the middle levels here, defeating him is like opening Pandora's Box; what if other mid-levels of the Star River come to challenge?
At least till now, Jia Yan hasn't been overconfident that he could definitely defeat the other mid-levels of the Star River.
Knowing one's limits is important.
So Jia Yan felt that a combat result where both sides could save face would be the best. A draw, that is.
As for the planet, as previously mentioned, there are quite a few planets around that are not much worse than that one, so why make enemies over it, especially when he wants to continue getting guidance from the Insect Clan Queen here.
