Chapter 1099 Meeting an Acquaintance Again, Only an Enemy

The next morning, Lu Dajiang and a few other experts arrived.

Xu Han had also come, ready to participate in the territory battle.

After Liu Yan’s arrival, he glanced at everyone and said, “Today, we’re adding Xu Han. If any of you don’t wish to fight and prefer to rest and recover, you may step back.”

Liu Yan gave them the freedom to choose, allowing them to decide for themselves.

This approach took into account everyone’s preferences. Some individuals wanted to participate in the territory battles and face off against expert opponents to sharpen their skills, with Murong Xue being a prime example.

Others weren’t particularly keen on participating and preferred to focus on their training before engaging in territory battles.

When Liu Yan made this offer, Lu Dajiang, Huang Yuan, and others exchanged glances, remaining unaffected.

While Liu Yan was the central focus of Team Origin’s territory battles, these individuals were equally pivotal, constituting the backbone of the team.

As such, even if some of them weren’t eager to continue with the territory battles, they would stay, as the team’s victory was at stake, and they couldn’t afford to act with the territory battles, they would stay, as the team’s victory was at stake, and they couldn’t afford to act recklessly.

Murong Xue remained unmoved as well, as she relished facing expert opponents to boost her abilities. She had thrived under intense pressure during their previous battle with the Team Elf, achieving significant progress in her strength.

Murong Xue was the type of person who excelled in combat, drawing strength and growth from battle and adversity. She had no intention of withdrawing. Even if Liu Yan suggested it, she would resist.

Ye Yifan and Luo Wei exchanged glances. Although they were keen to continue participating in the territory battles, they were willing to make room for others since they had already experienced it once.

Just as Luo Wei was about to step back, Alan Smith, who had been silent until then, took a step forward and said, “I’ll withdraw.”

This declaration surprised Ye Yifan and the others.

Among the rookies, Alan Smith was the strongest and most talented.

Moreover, Alan Smith typically sought various challenges and continuously pushed his limits to improve.

Ye Yifan and the rest hadn’t expected Alan Smith to opt for withdrawal.

“No,” Luo Wei hurriedly responded. “I can withdraw as well. I’ve already participated once, and I’ll have another chance in the future. You don’t need to withdraw, Alan Smith.”

Ye Yifan also chimed in, “I can step back and focus on my cultivation.”

Ye Yifan and Luo Wei assumed that Alan Smith had decided to withdraw because no one else had volunteered. Therefore, they naturally didn’t want Alan Smith to withdraw.

Even Xu Han regarded Allen Smith with some confusion, not understanding why he chose to withdraw.

Xu Han also tried to persuade him, saying, “Allen Smith, you don’t need to withdraw, do you?”

After all, Allen Smith’s talent and strength were undoubtedly superior among the new experts. It wasn’t necessary for Allen Smith to withdraw.

However, Allen Smith shook his head and explained, “I genuinely want to withdraw. Yesterday’s battle provided me with many new insights. I’d like to enter seclusion for a period to focus on my cultivation before participating in the territory battles.”

Upon hearing Allen Smith’s explanation, everyone realized that they had misunderstood his intentions. Allen Smith indeed wished to withdraw to engage in focused cultivation.

In response, Liu Yan immediately agreed, saying, “Alright, then Allen Smith will leave first, and Xu Han will join.”

Alan Smith nodded slightly and left.

Liu Yan then shifted his gaze to Huang Yuan.

Huang Yuan understood the situation and, seeing that everyone was ready, retrieved another scroll for single battles and shattered it.

Instantly, the white teleportation array beneath Liu Yan and the other nine individuals illuminated once more.

At first glance, it appeared identical to the battleground from the previous day. However, Liu Yan and the others who understood the rules knew that there was a high chance that it was not the battle space from yesterday.

The sixth level of the tower’s Wind Barrier contained thousands of similar battlegrounds, providing ample room for all teams to engage in territory battles simultaneously. This was an incredibly convenient arrangement.

Despite the uniform appearance of these battlegrounds, the large number of available spaces meant that today’s battleground was very likely not the same as the one from the previous day. Their similarity was superficial.

At that moment, the Will of Tower made an announcement.

[The territory battle has been successfully initiated. The battle method is a single battle. Opponents are currently being randomly selected. Please wait.]

Liu Yan and the others were filled with anticipation.

Other than the strength of the 10 experts and the order of their ranking, the most important thing was probably the random opponents.

Just like yesterday, the random Elf Territory was very strong, but Team Origin just happened to be able to win. This was the ideal situation.

The random opponent was not only powerful, but they could also defeat them. This way, not only could they ensure that Team Origin could defeat their opponents, but they could also obtain the final victory in the territory battle.

Apart from that, the rewards for winning the territory battles were determined by the strength of the opponent.

Thus, in order to ensure victory, the stronger the opponent, the better. The stronger the opponent, the more generous the rewards would be after the victory. Other than that, the random opponent’s territory had another huge influence, and that was the opponent’s race!

Some gentle races only pursued victory and rewards during the battle. Especially yesterday, the random opponent, the Elf Territory, not only had a gentle personality but also had a good relationship with humans.

This way, the Team Origin, and the Team Elf could reach a consensus. It was enough to win the battle. There was no need to seriously injure or even kill the opponent.

This way, no matter who was stronger or weaker, there was at least one thing that could be guaranteed. Even if they lost, there would be no serious injuries or casualties. This allowed Team Origin to train their new members without any scruples.

However, it would be different if they were randomly assigned to a race with a more brutal personality.

Not only would the other party pursue victory and rewards, but they would also pursue killing.

Even though there were no additional rewards for killing, they enjoyed killing and could also clear out an opponent.

After all, strictly speaking, all the territories in the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower would eventually become enemies.

If one wanted to advance to the 7th level of the tower, they had to crush the other territories and reach the top 100. Only then could they enter the final trial.

Then, in the final trial, one had to surpass the other territories and reach the top 10 before they could advance and go to the seventh level of the tower!

Lu Dajiang said, “I wonder which territory we’ll be randomly assigned to as our opponent this time.”

Wei Feng chimed in, “Yesterday, our luck was really good. Today, it’s probably very difficult to get a better opponent.”

Huang Yuan added, “We have to be prepared for the worst. If we’re randomly sent to a foreign territory, especially a more brutal race, we have to be careful of casualties. We have to pay more attention to the order of the people and be careful in the battle.”

Liu Qingrou also said, “I hope that the opponents randomly selected today aren’t too strong. We just need to ensure victory.”

Ning Shanshan replied, “That won’t do. We don’t have many single battle tokens left. If the random opponent is weak, we won’t get much reward even if we win. It’s a waste of Territory Battle Tokens!”

Ye Yifan chimed in, “Haha, I can only do my best.”

Luo Wei added, “My profession is relatively safe. If I encounter a strong opponent, I’ll just admit defeat in time.”

However, Murong Xue had a fearless look on her face as she said, “It’s fine. If we encounter a powerful opponent, I’ll go up first to check out the situation.”

It was Xu Han’s first time participating in a territory battle, so he didn’t know the rules. He asked others to understand the rules.

After understanding the rules, Xu Han was relieved.

Although he was good at long-range large-area spells, he might not be very popular in a single battle.

However, Xu Han had an advantage. That was that he did not need to fight in close combat and could fight from a long distance.

With this buffer, Xu Han would have time to admit defeat and leave safely without getting injured if he found out that his opponent was too strong.

While the few of them were discussing and looking forward to the random opponent’s territory, the Will of Tower’s announcement sounded.

[Random opponent successful. The opponent territory is Lakon Territory!]

[The battle was about to begin. Please prepare for the final preparation time!]

Lu Dajiang and the others had peculiar expressions upon hearing the announcement from the Will of Tower.

They had just been talking about how their luck might not be as good that day and that they wouldn’t randomly encounter someone familiar as they did yesterday.

In the end, their luck turned out to be bad, but the opponent he randomly picked was an acquaintance, just an enemy acquaintance.

Lu Dajiang wore a bewildered expression as he said, “Could it be that coincidental? The random opponent is, of all things, the Lakon Territory?”

Wei Feng also wore an embarrassed look and said, “Well, this is quite interesting. We initially wanted to remain hidden, but it turns out we’ll meet them head-on in the territory battle.”

Huang Yuan added, “Moreover, the rules of the territory battle mandate that we must participate, and the most we can do is choose to surrender after entering the battle. We can’t forfeit or choose to abstain before participating, which means we are obliged to take part, and we will undoubtedly be recognized by the other side.”

Ning Shanshan playfully stuck out her tongue and said, “The Lakon Territory on the opposite side was actually searching for us everywhere, and now we’ve encountered them in a territory battle. It’s quite amusing.”

Liu Qingrou chimed in, “Fortunately, even if we do cross paths, the most they’ll discover is that we’re in the Origin Territory. They still won’t know the coordinates of the Origin Territory.”
