Chapter 1129: Passive Situation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the Origin Territory, Liu Yan’s expert team had just returned from the territory battle.

Although their luck was unfavorable this time, with the Lakon Territory as the randomly assigned opponent, which was far stronger than the Origin Territory, the Origin Territory was not a match at all.

However, under the careful planning of Liu Yan and the others, it was already the best outcome.

Even though they lost the territory battle, Team Origin didn’t have any casualties. The most serious one was Lu Dajiang, who was heavily injured. Everyone returned safely.

Among them, Team Origin had also won a few small matches. Due to the huge difference in strength between the two sides, Team Origin won against the strong. Even though they had won a few small matches, it had brought them a lot of benefits.

The biggest gain from this battle was that Liu Yan had successfully killed three top-tier experts of the Lakon Territory.

Any top-tier expert was extremely important to a territory.

Losing a top-tier expert was a huge loss.

This time, Liu Yan had caused the Lakon Territory to lose three top-tier experts, which was undoubtedly a huge gain. It would be extremely beneficial for the subsequent battle between the Origin Territory and the Lakon Territory.

Liu Yan looked at the celebrating team members in the Origin Territory, and his expression softened.

Although the final result of this territory battle was good, it was undoubtedly filled with danger.

Especially in the few battles that Liu Yan had fought, the variables were endless and filled with danger.

Fortunately, Liu Yan managed to pull through in the end and obtained the best result in the battle.

Liu Yan looked at the experts and smiled.

“It’s not hard.”

“We didn’t work hard. It’s been hard on you, captain.”

“Yeah, the main thing is that the captain performed well in this match.”

“Captain, you’ve worked hard.”

Several experts nodded in agreement.

They had participated in this battle and were clear about the process, naturally understanding Liu Yan’s importance.

It could be said that without Liu Yan, they would have lost miserably in this territory battle.

It was entirely Liu Yan who reversed the situation.

“Thank you.” Liu Yan waved his hand in the face of everyone’s gratitude. “We are all teammates. We are all from the Origin Territory. There is no need to say these things.”

Immediately, Liu Yan left the noisy square and returned to his wooden house.

After a series of high-intensity battles, Liu Yan was also a little tired.

This was a rare exhaustion. After many dangerous battles, Liu Yan was still full of energy.

After all, Liu Yan had the SSS-grade divine talent, Super Divine Extraction. After many upgrades, his attributes in all aspects were already extremely exaggerated, especially in terms of stamina and energy. It was even more difficult for ordinary Awakened ones to compare.

However, this battle had left Liu Yan somewhat fatigued.

Although the previous few battles were not very dangerous, and the opponent’s strength was far inferior to Liu Yan’s, posing no threat at all.

However, to lure Lakon Territory into not sending their strongest player directly, Liu Yan had been deliberately putting on a show.

This process was undoubtedly filled with scheming, causing Liu Yan to feel somewhat tired.

The truly dangerous battles were with Wei Ping and Lei Tianming.

Liu Yan used almost all of his strength to seize the opportunity and successfully finish off Wei Ping.

Needless to say, Liu Yan only managed to temporarily suppress Lei Tianming when he used his fused elemental power, buying himself some time to leave the field.

Otherwise, if they continued to fight, the outcome would be unpredictable, and it would be filled with danger.

This battle was one of the few times Liu Yan had truly felt threatened since he entered the Tower.

Especially Lei Tianming made Liu Yan feel that even if he used all his strength, it would be very difficult to defeat him.

Being suppressed by Lei Tianming in this battle also made Liu Yan feel that his strength was insufficient.

If Liu Yan’s thoughts were to spread, who knew how many Awakened ones would be rendered speechless.

A newcomer who had entered the sixth floor of the Tower’s Wind Barrier had the combat power to face the captain of a top-tier territory.

Liu Yan’s combat strength was six stars lower than Lei Tianming’s, but he could fight head-on for a short period.

If news of such a battle record were to spread, countless Awakened ones’ jaws would drop in shock.

However, Liu Yan felt that it was not enough.

After all, whether you were a newbie or not, when facing a real battle, you couldn’t control these things. Others wouldn’t show mercy just because you were a newbie.

Although the Origin Territory was a new territory, the opponents they had to face were no longer territories of the same level.

The Origin Territory had dealt with many Lakonian people, which had offended Lakon Territory.

In this territory battle, Liu Yan had even killed three top-tier experts from the Lakon Territory. He had also offended the Lakon Territory, and they were already mortal enemies.

Sooner or later, the Origin Territory would face Lakon Territory head-on. There would be a battle of life and death, and only one of the two territories would continue to grow stronger, while the other would be trampled underfoot.

As for the time of this life-and-death battle, Liu Yan and Origin Territory could not decide. The initiative was in the hands of Lakon Territory.

As long as Lakon Territory found Origin Territory, a life-and-death battle would break out between the two territories.

The feeling of having the initiative completely in the other party’s hands undoubtedly made Liu Yan feel a little unhappy.

This passive feeling was very uncomfortable.

The reason was that his strength was not enough.

If Liu Yan himself was strong enough, if Lakon Territory was strong enough as a whole, why would he need to fear Lakon Territory? If the other party dared to provoke, he would just kill them directly!

In addition, this battle also made Liu Yan realize his shortcomings.

Even though he now had many powerful skills, and his combat strength was already very strong, it was not a problem for him to fight above his level.

However, when facing a top-tier opponent, it was somewhat insufficient.

Just like this time when he faced Lei Tianming, Liu Yan could at most face him head-on for a short while before using the rules of the territory battle to choose to admit defeat and be teleported away.

With the isolation of the Will of Tower, as long as they were off the battlefield, Lei Tianming would no longer be able to attack Liu Yan, nor would he be able to bring any danger to Liu Yan.

However, this was only under the rules of the Will of the Tower. It was only like this during the territory battle.

If it were any other time, Liu Yan would not even have the chance to escape if he were to face Lei Tianming head-on, let alone defeat him. Liu Yan would die a miserable death in the end.

This passive feeling made Liu Yan very uncomfortable.

If they were lucky, it would be fine if they met Lakon Territory and Lei Tianming later. Liu Yan and Origin Territory would have enough time to continue growing. When they grew to the point where they could face Lakon Territory and Lei Tianming head-on, that would be it.

But what if they were unlucky? Liu Yan did not dare to imagine.

Although the final result of this territory battle was full of rewards, it also made Liu Yan feel more anxious and want to increase his strength faster..
