Chapter 1086 Difficult Victory
Chapter 1086 Difficult Victory
Wei Feng quickly moved forward to support Huang Yuan.
"Are you okay?" Lu Dajiang inquired with concern.
Huang Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head slightly. "It's not a big deal. Compared to the injuries I've endured during previous training, this is a minor issue. I'll be fine after receiving treatment back at our base."
Seeing this, Liu Yan and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Before this, Huang Yuan had been leading his squad in continuous training within the Wind Barrier. He would only return to their base once a month and spend the rest of the year engaged in rigorous training.
Huang Yuan had faced severe injuries many times before, some of which were far more serious than his current condition.
Huang Yuan looked at Liu Yan and said, "Captain, I've given it my all. I leave the rest to you."
"Don't worry." Liu Yan nodded.
Liu Yan then turned his gaze to Ning Shanshan.
Ning Shanshan understood and stepped into the arena.
Ning Shanshan was the fourth member of Team Origin to participate, and her opponent was Bernie Galt.
Bernie Galt was only the third representative sent by Team Elf.
Ning Shanshan was a Mage, specializing in long-range attacks.
Under normal circumstances, Ning Shanshan had a combat strength of only 15 stars, clearly making her no match for Bernie Galt.
However, due to Bernie Galt's significant energy expenditure during his previous battle with Huang Yuan, he was left in a weakened state.
Not only had Huang Yuan managed to deplete Bernie Galt's stamina and energy significantly, but he had also inflicted injuries upon him.
Although Bernie Galt was now utilizing the healing potions he had brought to expedite his recovery, it was evident that expecting a full recovery in such a short time was unrealistic.
Consequently, even though there was a three-star difference between Ning Shanshan and Bernie Galt, Ning Shanshan had a considerable advantage in this battle.
Ning Shanshan wouldn't provide Bernie Galt with an opportunity to catch his breath and recuperate. As soon as she stepped into the arena, she initiated her assault.
Under Ning Shanshan's incantation, a fiery dragon, formed from the elemental power of fire attribute, hurtled towards Bernie Galt.
Upon setting foot in the arena, Ning Shanshan immediately unleashed her signature move, clearly aiming to conclude the battle swiftly and prevent Bernie Galt from stalling any further.
Observing this, Bernie Galt responded swiftly, firing several specialized arrow features consecutively. These arrow feathers were capable of diminishing the power of Ning Shanshan's fiery dragon.
Nonetheless, even after the power reduction, the fiery dragon still reached Bernie Galt.
Bernie Galt could only respond in a hurry.
Soon, the arena was in a state of anxiety.
Ning Shanshan and Bernie Galt engaged in a long-range battle. Ning Shanshan continuously unleashed potent long-range spells, while Bernie Galt kept firing various types of arrows. They were locked in a long-range battle.
Ning Shanshan excelled in long-range attacks, so she didn't need to close in on Bernie Galt to fight him, as Huang Yuan did earlier. Instead, Ning Shanshan confronted Bernie Galt from a distance.
On one side was Bernie Galt, who held a three-star advantage in combat strength, while Ning Shanshan was approaching the battle with full energy. For a while, it was challenging to determine an immediate victor in their skirmish.
Liu Yan and the others watching from the sidelines remained unperturbed.
After all, Bernie Galt had already expended a significant amount of energy during his previous battle with Huang Yuan. In such a grueling battle, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.
In a battle of attrition, Ning Shanshan was poised to overcome Bernie Galt.
Lu Dajiang couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Ning Shanshan should have no trouble defeating Bernie Galt. However, I suspect that after her skills have improved, Ning Shanshan herself won't be in top form, making the upcoming matches somewhat disadvantageous for us."
They exchanged helpless glances.
While it appeared that Team Origin was only one player behind, the remaining players were still trailing the other team.
In reality, they faced a considerable deficit. Other than Liu Yan, the remaining experts from Team Origin had already made their appearances.
Although Allen Smith, Luo Wei, and the others were quite talented, their strength had not grown at all. They had come here mainly to gain experience, so it would undoubtedly be difficult for them to win.
Wei Feng sighed in resignation. "There's no other way. This Elf Territory is originally ranked around 3,000. It's ranked much higher than ours. It's naturally extremely difficult to defeat them."
Huang Yuan, already injured and resting on the side, added, "We might not lose. We still have a chance. Everything depends on our captain."
When they heard this, they all looked at Liu Yan.
Yes, the greatest variable lay in Liu Yan alone.
Liu Yan's performance would directly determine the outcome of this territorial battle, and it would have a substantial impact on Team Origin.
Lu Dajiang and the others were exceptionally confident in Liu Yan's abilities. After all, Liu Yan had defeated even Luo Feng.
However, they were unsure about the specifics of Liu Yan's strength. The most challenging aspect was that from the current situation, Liu Yan would not only have to defeat the strongest contender in the Elf Territory but could also potentially face multiple opponents, each of whom Liu Yan would need to handle one by one.
For Liu Yan, this undoubtedly increased the difficulty significantly, causing some concern among Lu Dajiang and the others.
Liu Yan could see their worry but comforted them with a faint smile, saying, "Don't worry, leave everything to me!"
Liu Yan didn't know the exact strength of the remaining experts in the Elf Territory, but he had immense confidence in his abilities.
Even in his previous encounter with Luo Feng, Liu Yan didn't need to use his full power to easily defeat him.
Furthermore, a few days ago, Liu Yan had ventured deep into the Hallucinatory Forest once more and completely vanquished the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower. Liu Yan's strength had seen significant growth.
Even though the Elf Territory held a ranking of 3,000 and its overall power exceeded that of the Origin Territory, Liu Yan had a deep sense of self-assurance in terms of his capabilities.
Liu Yan wouldn't claim a certain victory, but, honestly, it would be quite challenging for him to lose.
Not long after, the tide of battle on the field shifted.
Just moments ago, Ning Shanshan and Bernie Galt were locked in a long-range exchange, making it hard to determine a clear victor.
As time passed, Bernie Galt began to falter due to his prior energy expenditure, gradually losing his advantage.
Finally, Bernie Galt couldn't hold on any longer and chose to concede the match.
The Will of Tower immediately transported Bernie Galt out of the arena.
Simultaneously, the Will of Tower was announced.
