Chapter 1107 The Last Person
On the battlefield, Liu Yan had just arrived and stood facing Ding Sheng.
Between them was a barrier that would disappear once the battle began, marking the start of their confrontation.
At this moment, Ding Sheng stood very close to the barrier, attempting to minimize the distance between them.
This strategic positioning would allow Ding Sheng to strike first when the battle commenced.
Ding Sheng’s emotions were undoubtedly complex at this juncture.
His current opponent was considerably weaker. Having won nine consecutive small-scale battles alone, he was on the verge of securing his tenth victory.
The Lakon Territory had only dispatched Ding Sheng, yet he could triumph over an entire territory.
This situation was undeniably favorable news for Ding Sheng.
Not only would he bask in glory, but when it came to receiving random individual rewards, he would also have the opportunity to claim them, thereby enhancing his strength.
However, Ding Sheng also felt a sense of helplessness.
His earlier carelessness had led to a delayed realization of the Origin Territory’s intentions, resulting in the release of many experts from Team Origin.
By the time Ding Sheng reacted and prepared to strike, he fell prey to Wei Feng’s deception, missing a crucial opportunity.
Though he finally had a chance to deal with Lu Dajiang, he did not anticipate Lu Dajiang’s extraordinary strength. Lu Dajiang skillfully withstood Ding Sheng’s attack and successfully escaped.
Now, facing the last member of Team Origin, Ding Sheng saw this as his final opportunity.
Ding Sheng sized up Liu Yan and recognized that an unfamiliar face. His strength should not be comparable to Lu Dajiang and the others. His strength should be even lower.
Simultaneously, Ding Sheng gauged the opponent’s strength and found it to be a mere 16-star combat strength, making him an easy target.
Ding Sheng felt a strong sense of optimism at this moment.
This was his last chance, and he was determined not to let it slip away.
If the final member of Team Origin managed to escape, Ding Sheng would undoubtedly feel a significant loss of face. It would become challenging for him to hold his head high in the Lakon Territory.
With a smile, Ding Sheng looked at Liu Yan and remarked, “You’re quite unlucky. Not only are you weak, but you’re also designated to go last. It seems your captain wants you all dead. Did you offend your captain?”
Ding Sheng comprehended that in this scenario, the later the Team Origin members took the stage, the more perilous it became.
For a contestant like the one on the other side, with only 16-star of battle strength, it was only natural for him to enter the battlefield earlier to ensure a safe exit.
Now, being the last one to step onto the battlefield with such weak strength, he was undoubtedly destined for certain defeat.
Liu Yan heard Ding Sheng’s teasing but paid it no mind.
The reason why Ding Sheng sensed that Liu Yan had 16 stars of combat strength was because Liu Yan had done it on purpose.
Ignoring Ding Sheng’s banter, Liu Yan was calculating in his mind.
First and foremost, the Origin Territory was bound to clash with the Lakon Territory in the future, a matter of inevitability. The Lakon Territory would unquestionably be the archenemy of the Origin Territory.
Given these circumstances, if Liu Yan had the opportunity, he naturally intended to weaken Lakon’s strength.
After all, those participating in the territory battle were the top experts of the entire Lakon, constituting the core strength of the Lakon Territory.
If Liu Yan could eliminate any expert, it would effectively diminish the strength of the Lakon Territory.
On the flip side, Lakon was resource-rich and formidable. Simply injuring their experts would likely be futile.
Since they were launching an attack, it had to be a decisive one. Their experts had to meet their end on this battlefield, never to leave the premises again.
For a moment, Liu Yan couldn’t help feeling a bit vexed. If he directly killed the opposing party, he would inevitably expose his strength.
The Lakon Territory would undoubtedly take notice and deploy even more powerful experts, denying Liu Yan another opportunity.
Shaking his head, Liu Yan decided he couldn’t afford to be overly concerned. He would kill as many as he could.
In any case, Liu Yan was unwilling to let Lakon’s experts on the stage go just to conceal his strength.
As long as the expert from Lakon was on the battlefield, Liu Yan was determined to ensure their demise on the stage, unless the opponent’s strength was overwhelming and Liu Yan’s abilities fell short.
What Liu Yan could do was conceal some of his strength as much as possible while dealing with the expert on the stage.
Ensuring he could dispatch the opposing expert, Liu Yan aimed to hide his strength, preparing for future encounters with Lakon’s experts.
With these considerations, Liu Yan had a detailed plan for the upcoming battle.
At this moment, the countdown from the Will of Tower had concluded.
As the countdown ended, the barrier in the middle vanished, signaling the official commencement of the battle between Liu Yan and Ding Sheng!
Ding Sheng was well-prepared. The moment the barrier vanished, he immediately charged toward Liu Yan, unleashing a powerful strike, aiming for a swift and decisive victory. He intended to finish off Liu Yan directly, not giving him any chance to admit defeat and leave alive.
To Ding Sheng’s surprise, Liu Yan did not immediately concede. There was no appearance of the milky white light from the tower’s consciousness teleportation array on his body.
Ding Sheng couldn’t help but inwardly laugh, thinking, “Is he so panicked that he forgot to admit defeat?”
However, Ding Sheng couldn’t afford to dwell on that. The person in front of him had to die. Otherwise, he would face humiliation in the future.
Observing Ding Sheng charging towards him, Liu Yan was already prepared to counter.
Although Ding Sheng was fast, in front of Liu Yan, his speed was merely average. If Liu Yan fully unleashed his speed, he could easily overpower Ding Sheng.
Liu Yan decided to initially match Ding Sheng’s strength with a 19-star combat strength. This would be sufficient to handle Ding Sheng and create a scenario where their strengths appeared similar.
In this way, in the subsequent events, Lakon wouldn’t directly dispatch top-notch experts, and Liu Yan would have had the opportunity to deal with more experts from Lakon.
The SS-grade weapon, the Blue Flame Gloves, manifested in Liu Yan’s hands.
Facing Ding Sheng’s rapid charge, Liu Yan stood his ground, meeting the attack head-on.
The S-grade skill, Absolute Unrivaled, was activated!
Of course, Liu Yan deliberately restrained his strength, revealing only a 19-star combat strength to face Ding Sheng.
Witnessing this, Ding Sheng was momentarily stunned.
Initially, he found it perplexing that Liu Yan didn’t concede and depart immediately. To his surprise, Liu Yan not only refrained from retreating but also chose to confront him directly.
However, after their exchange, Ding Sheng’s doubts dissipated.
It turned out that the person across from him possessed remarkable strength, boasting a 19-star combat strength, equivalent to his own.
Despite this, after their skirmish, Ding Sheng maintained a slight advantage.
Ding Sheng chuckled and remarked, “An expert with 19-star of combat strength from the Origin Territory? Impressive, but having 19-star combat strength doesn’t mean you can take me on. Even with the same combat strength, you’re no match for me!”
