Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction

Chapter 1083  Difficult Battle

Lu Dajiang said, "There's nothing we can do. The opponents decide 
who they want to send."
Huang Yuan replied, "We can only blame ourselves for not being as 
strong."
However, Ning Shanshan couldn't help but look at Wei Feng with 
disdain. She said, "While Bernie Galt is undeniably powerful, the 
fact that he defeated you so effortlessly in just a move or two 
without you putting up any resistance is rather embarrassing, don't 
you think?"
When Wei Feng heard this, his face instantly darkened. He felt a 
little embarrassed.
How could he not want to exhaust Bernie Galt?
However, he was helpless. His strength did not allow it!
Not only was there a huge gap in strength between Wei Feng and 
Bernie Galt but there was also a restraining relationship between 
them.
Wei Feng, who was good at close combat with a short sword, 
couldn't get close at all. He was instantly killed by Bernie Galt, 
making Wei Feng unable to use his full strength.
Wei Feng said helplessly, "It's just that there's nothing I can do. If I 
were also a long-range soldier, I might have managed to hold out 
for a while, but as a melee combatant, I couldn't even get close to 
Bernie Galt before it was over."
"Alright." Liu Yan patted Wei Feng on the shoulder and consoled 
him, saying, "You've done your best. Now let's see how we do 
moving forward."
With that, Liu Yan turned his attention to Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan understood and was prepared. He walked forward and 
stepped onto the arena.
Huang Yuan was also representing the fourth member of Team 
Origin, now facing Bernie Galt, the third member of Team Elf.
Liu Yan, watching from below, was filled with curiosity.
While he was familiar with Lu Dajiang and the others from their 
time at Lighthouse Academy, Huang Yuan was a bit of an enigma to 
him. He wondered about Huang Yuan's true strength.
Huang Yuan's situation was unique. He entered the battlefield 
empty-handed, without any weapons.
He didn't even have a pair of gloves, let alone the typical swords, 
staves, or other weaponry.
When Liu Yan saw this, he could not help but ask in puzzlement, 
"Does Huang Yuan not have a weapon?"
Lu Dajiang and the others nodded when they heard that.
Ning Shanshan smiled and said, "Huang Yuan is quite the oddball. 
He's the only human Awakened I've seen who doesn't use any 
weapons."
Liu Qingrou nodded in agreement, adding, "Huang Yuan cultivates 
the Body Arts system. He uses various parts of his body as weapons, 
and he's rather strong."
Lu Dajiang also chimed in with approval, saying, "Exactly. He's quite 
a peculiar individual. Every part of his body is trained to be stronger 
than a weapon. His fists, legs, elbows, knees, head, and any other 
part of his body serve as his weapons. Despite not using any 
physical weapons, his body is stronger than many."
Liu Yan was quite surprised when he heard this. He hadn't expected 
that Huang Yuan specialized in ancient martial arts, one of the most 
primitive forms of cultivation.
This path had been abandoned by many on the Blue Planet for a 
reason. Some considered ancient martial arts to be too troublesome 
to cultivate, and the benefits at later stages were not great. It was 
challenging in the early stages and lacked power in the later stages, 
leading many Awakened on the Blue Planet to give up on it.
However, Liu Yan was intrigued that Huang Yuan had chosen this 
path. What's more, Huang Yuan's strength was far from weak. He 
was considered one of the top experts in the original Lighthouse 
Territory. To reach such a level in ancient martial arts was an 
extraordinary achievement.
Liu Yan looked forward to seeing how powerful Huang Yuan had 
become, having specialized in ancient martial arts.
The outcome of the battle between Huang Yuan and Bernie Galt 
was predetermined since they had a significant difference in their 
combat strength, so Huang Yuan was bound to lose.
For Huang Yuan, the key to this battle was how much he could 
consume Bernie Galt's energy and how much he could lay the 
foundation for his teammates.
Simultaneously, Liu Yan was eager to witness the extent of Huang 
Yuan's mastery of ancient martial arts.
In the arena, as soon as Huang Yuan made his entrance, he wasted 
no time and charged directly at Bernie Galt.
Huang Yuan excelled in ancient martial arts, using his body as a 
weapon for his attacks. Naturally, he needed to close the distance 
to unleash his true combat strength. It was particularly important 
since Huang Yuan had only 16-star combat strength, while Bernie 
Galt had at least 18-star combat strength.
There was a substantial gap in strength between the two of them.
In such circumstances, Huang Yuan needed to close the distance to 
have any chance of winning. After all, Bernie Galt had expended 
little energy in dealing with Wei Feng and was in excellent 
condition.
Upon seeing this, Bernie Galt didn't hesitate. He drew his bow and 
released elemental arrow feathers aimed at Huang Yuan.
Surprisingly, Huang Yuan stepped into thin air and soared into the 
sky. While dodging Bernie Galt's arrows, he also gained a significant 
speed boost.
Huang Yuan seemed to take slow and deliberate steps, but in 
reality, with each step, he could teleport a considerable distance. 
His speed was, in fact, quite rapid.
Under Huang Yuan's unique footwork, the gap between him and 
Bernie Galt was rapidly diminishing.
Watching from below the arena, Liu Yan was taken aback.
"He can tread upon the void, covering vast distances in the blink of 
an eye. Huang Yuan's mastery of ancient martial arts is truly 
impressive." Liu Yan couldn't help but express his admiration.
Although Liu Yan himself had not practiced ancient martial arts, he 
had considerable knowledge of the discipline.
Wei Feng nodded and added, "Huang Yuan achieved this quite a 
while ago. According to him, he dedicated a significant amount of 
time and effort to laying the foundation for his skills in ancient 
martial arts. This resulted in somewhat slower progress in terms of 
strength." Nevertheless, Huang Yuan believed that once he had a 
solid foundation, he would be able to make rapid advancements in 
the future, even though he wasn't certain if it was entirely true."
Liu Yan raised an eyebrow, finding himself somewhat convinced by 
Huang Yuan's explanation. After all, ancient martial arts indeed 
required a solid foundation compared to conventional cultivation.
In theory, Huang Yuan's approach seemed reasonable. By 
establishing a strong foundation first and then pursuing further 
strength, he might be able to become even more powerful.
Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He wondered 
how much Huang Yuan's strength would improve once he had 
established that strong foundation. Such a prospect greatly 
intrigued him.
At the same time, the battle in the arena was still going on fiercely.
Huang Yuan, stepping on the void and shrinking space around him, 
effortlessly evaded Bernie Galt's attacks with a series of arrow 
feathers, and rapidly closed the distance between them.
It was clear that Bernie Galt's strength far surpassed Huang Yuan's, 
with a two-star advantage. There was a significant qualitative 
difference.
Furthermore, Bernie Galt's arrow feathers were potent. A single hit 
would result in severe injuries to Huang Yuan and a substantial 
drop in his combat strength.
In other words, Bernie Galt had fired hundreds of arrow feathers 
thus far, and if just one of them found its mark, the outcome of the 
battle would be decided.
However, Bernie Galt's luck seemed to be against him.
