Chapter 1110 - 1110 Continue to Hide Your Strength
1110 Continue to Hide Your Strength
The random rewards this time were considerably more generous than before.
Even Team Origin’s reward for winning a small match was over five times greater than Lakon’s previous victory.
This was purely due to the disparity in strength between the two sides.
Territory battle rewards were determined based on both sides’ strengths.
The overall strength of the Origin Territory was far weaker than that of the Lakon Territory. Therefore, when the Lakon Territory won, the rewards would be greatly reduced.
On the contrary, the strength of the Lakon Territory was far stronger than the Origin Territory, so when the Origin Territory won, they would receive generous rewards.
This cut and increase led to Team Origin’s rewards being over five times that of Lakon’s victory!
Upon hearing the Will of Tower’s announcement, the nine Lakon experts’ faces turned even more grim.
Failing against a territory significantly weaker was disheartening.
Despite being a minor battle, the impact was minimal.
However, Lakon Territory faced complete defeat. Ding Sheng not only lost but was also killed an incredibly embarrassing outcome.
The previously silent Lakon experts began expressing their thoughts.
“This is too embarrassing. This is simply a great humiliation!”
“Ding Sheng is too careless. How unlucky!”
“Sigh, I didn’t expect the Origin Territory to have such an expert despite its overall strength being so weak.”
“Liu Yan’s prowess is average. He’s no match for Ding Sheng under normal circumstances. It’s Ding Sheng’s carelessness!”
“It’s fine. Liu Yan seems depleted. Our next participant should seize the opportunity. He won’t have time to surrender.”
“Yes, Liu Yan must meet his end on this battlefield. He can’t leave alive!”
“I’ll take this. Ding Sheng was my friend. I must avenge him myself!”
The Lakon captain initially considered sending a stronger expert but eventually agreed after Ding Li’s words.
Ding Sheng was Ding Li’s brother, and Ding Li sought this revenge opportunity.
Despite Liu Yan potentially hiding more abilities, he had depleted his energy in the fight with Ding Sheng. He stood no chance against Ding Li’s 20-star combat strength.
“Very well, it’s your turn. Ding Li, go and deal with Liu Yan. Ensure he dies on this battlefield!”
“Absolutely!”
Ding Li, a robust man, stepped onto the battlefield with determination.
On the battlefield, Liu Yan sensed his opponent’s strength.
Discovering the opponent’s strength was merely 20-star combat strength, Liu Yan felt a slight relief.
Previously, Ding Sheng, the first sent from Lakon, possessed 19-star combat strength.
The second participant sent had 20-star combat strength, just one level higher.
While a single star made a significant difference in strength, Liu Yan knew Lakon’s exact strength and that they could send even stronger experts.
Yet, Lakon sent no players with greater potential, only those with 20-star combat strength.
It seemed that Liu Yan’s previous plan had been quite successful.
Through a bit of acting, he managed to keep the Lakon experts in the audience from realizing Liu Yan’s true strength.
Even though these top-notch Lakon experts were formidable and perceptive, their observational prowess was intimidating, making it challenging to deceive them.
However, due to the barrier isolating them, their observations were limited to what they could see with their naked eyes.
Liu Yan’s performance was spot on. Throughout, he only utilized an early-stage 19-star combat strength to successfully defeat Ding Sheng.
Liu Yan’s victory over Ding Sheng wasn’t about his raw power but rather his strategic intelligence.
The battle process was undeniably arduous, requiring significant effort before ultimately prevailing over Ding Sheng.
Nevertheless, all the effort was worthwhile.
Liu Yan effectively deceived the Lakon experts in the audience, leading them to underestimate his true abilities.
This allowed Liu Yan to confront more experts from Lakon.
Ding Li watched Liu Yan with a dark expression but didn’t utter a word.
Ding Li’s eyes were brimming with animosity, yet his silence throughout indicated Ding Li’s profound cunning.
Observing this, Liu Yan paid it no mind.
Given that Ding Li’s combat strength was only at 20 stars, he wasn’t a match for Liu Yan. No matter Ding Li’s strength, he couldn’t genuinely threaten Liu Yan.
At that moment, Liu Yan was also contemplating.
Liu Yan was aware that dealing with Ding Li using his strength wouldn’t be challenging.
The crucial aspect was whether he could maintain his hidden potential while handling Ding Li.
The 19-star combat strength he displayed earlier was insufficient to defeat Ding Li.
If Liu Yan wanted to deal with Ding Li, he had to reveal more of his strength.
But in the end, he did not expose all of them. This would be more beneficial for the subsequent battles.
The earlier battle plan was infeasible.
Considering Ding Li had been observing the battlefield previously, he naturally saw through it and understood how Liu Yan had successfully defeated Ding Sheng.
Using the same method was impossible to succeed again.
Ding Li remained exceptionally composed, showing no signs of anxiety.
Handling such a cunning and strategic opponent posed a bit of trouble.
Liu Yan was momentarily troubled, unable to think of a good solution.
However, the Will of Tower wouldn’t grant Liu Yan more time to devise a plan.
As the countdown gradually ended, the battle commenced!
The instant the battle began, Ding Li initiated a fierce attack on Liu Yan.
Ding Li was concerned that Liu Yan had expended too much energy in the preceding battle. He wasn’t in the mood to fight now and feared Liu Yan might choose to concede and depart.
Ding Li couldn’t accept such an outcome. His aim in stepping onto the stage wasn’t to win this small battle but to eliminate Liu Yan and avenge his younger brother, Ding Sheng.
Facing Ding Li’s formidable assault, Liu Yan swiftly responded with his SS-grade weapon, the Blue Flame Gloves.
“S-grade skill, Absolute Unrivaled, activated!”
Liu Yan hesitated briefly but refrained from revealing his true strength. He persisted with his early-stage 19-star combat strength to confront Ding Li, who boasted a 20-star combat strength.
A one-star difference in combat strength signified a substantial gap.
Typically, in situations where the difference in combat strength was of a star level, the confrontation would be heavily one-
sided, resulting in instantaneous defeat.
Yet, Liu Yan relied on his extraordinary talent to forcefully withstand it.
But, merely withstanding was all he managed!
Confronted with Ding Li’s relentless attacks, Liu Yan was forced into a step-by-step retreat and gradually sustained injuries.
However, Liu Yan persisted in concealing more of his strength and continued to endure.
To eliminate more Lakon experts, Liu Yan had no choice but to persevere.
As long as Liu Yan didn’t conceal his true strength, he could easily dispatch Ding Li, who possessed 20-star combat strength, with a single move.
However, to handle more Lakon experts and diminish the strength of Lakon Territory as much as possible, Liu Yan had to exert considerable effort in dealing with them.
