Chapter 1056 Act According to My Face!  At this moment, the seven squad leaders beside Liu Yan had different expressions when they heard the mockery from the other side.

Xu Han appeared somewhat irritated and exclaimed, "These half-beast people are incredibly audacious. I'll show them a taste of my ice magic later, freeze them, and see if they can still talk big!"

Ye Yifan smiled faintly and said, "We can simply eliminate them later."

Hans Wilson, with a hint of displeasure, remarked, "They are indeed quite arrogant. Let's assess their strength later."

He Yang added, "Their strength is certainly inferior to ours."

Jin Cheng chimed in, "Who were our previous opponents, terrifying as they were? Facing these half-beast people now feels much easier."

Lu Dajiang cautioned, "In any case, we must remain cautious."

Huang Yuan shared, "I've killed many half-beast people before. It looks like I'll have to dispatch quite a few more this time!"

However, Liu Yan remained relatively composed.

Liu Yan had already formulated a specific plan to deal with these half-beast people.

Observing a few half-beast people representatives approaching, Liu Yan issued a low-toned command, "Later, do not speak excessively to avoid revealing our true strength. Either remain silent or gauge my expression and coordinate with me in conversation to lead them into our trap."

Xu Han and the other squad leaders did not quite grasp Liu Yan's intention regarding luring the half-beast people into a trap.

However, Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan, who were considered seasoned veterans within the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower, were well-acquainted with the rules of the territory battle. They promptly deduced Liu Yan's strategy.

Liu Yan intended to maintain a low profile initially, preventing the half-beast people from discovering the full extent of their formidable strength. This would compel the half-beast people to opt for a team battle or a siege. Subsequently, Team Origin could engage them in the territory, inflicting substantial damage.Otherwise, if the half-beast people chose one-on-one battles, it would be challenging to inflict significant casualties. At most, they might injure ten of their experts, with the prospect of killing them being quite slim.

After all, in the one-on-one duel arena, acknowledging defeat would grant protection from the arena, instantly teleporting the defeated party out, preventing further injury or even death.

Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan exchanged glances, both impressed by Liu Yan's strategic thinking.

These tactics were indeed familiar to seasoned individuals like them. However, for a newcomer like Liu Yan to conceive such a strategy in their first battle showcased his prudence and intelligence.

Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had chosen to join Origin Territory.

Despite being a new territory, Origin Territory's Lord token was already platinum. Moreover, the future potential for development in Origin Territory far surpassed that of their former Lighthouse Territory.

Furthermore, while the members of Team Origin were relatively inexperienced and had yet to fully mature, their potential was undeniable.

However, after spending some time together, Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang could naturally discern that the members of Team Origin were currently weaker in terms of strength, but their talent was undeniably impressive.

Given sufficient time, they would undoubtedly grow and become formidable in the future.

What Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang valued most about Origin Territory was their team captain, Liu Yan!

Liu Yan's strength, surpassing that of seasoned individuals as a newcomer, was already remarkable.

If Liu Yan were given time to further develop, it was difficult to imagine the extent of his future prowess.

Most importantly, as the team captain, Liu Yan not only possessed great power but also maintained exceptional composure, caution, and rationality.

A leader with such rationality was often capable of making the most prudent decisions and steering the entire team in the right direction.

For the entirety of Team Origin, this quality was undeniably invaluable.

At this moment, several half-beast people leaders from the opposing side also approached and stood in front of Liu Yan and his team.Liu Yan and the half-beast people made eye contact through the barrier.

This barrier had been in place from the beginning, effectively separating Team Origin and Team Storm.

No member from either team could cross this barrier to engage in direct combat, but they could communicate through it without being able to engage in battle.

Liu Yan attempted to utilize the S-grade perception skill, known as Omniscient Insight, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the strengths of the individuals present, but he failed.

This barrier seemed to allow only sound to pass through, blocking any other form of perception. Even Liu Yan's perception-type skills couldn't penetrate this barrier to assess the opposing party's strengths.

Since he couldn't gauge the strengths of the others, Liu Yan decided to give up.

Nonetheless, he had a general understanding of the Storm Team, composed of half-beast people. Even with some margin for error, Liu Yan believed he had a reasonably accurate assessment.

Regardless, Team Origin, now with the inclusion of veterans like Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan, was undoubtedly in a league of its own in comparison to all the new territories.

Defeating a team like Storm Team would be well within their capabilities.

At this moment, the leader of the half-beast people introduced himself, "My name is Grom Blackhand, the captain of the Storm Team. I'm here to discuss the battle method with you. So, which one do you want to choose?"

Grom Blackhand stood at over two meters in height, considered medium-sized among half-beast people but significantly larger than humans.

Grom Blackhand's appearance resembled that of a human, except for his completely black skin and a set of horns.

However, Liu Yan noticed a peculiar detail. Grom Blackhand's hands, despite their black hue, were exceptionally delicate.

This set him apart from all the other half-beast people present.

A glance revealed that the other half-beast people were equipped with various heavy weapons, such as axes, enormous hammers, or shields. Consequently, their hands had become exceptionally rough due to prolonged use of these heavy weapons.

In contrast, Grom Blackhand neither carried any weapons nor displayed rough hands, suggesting he had not engaged in long-term use of heavy weaponry or strenuous labor.action

Taking into account the information Derek Dole had shared with Liu Yan earlier, he swiftly deduced that Grom Blackhand was likely the wizard mentioned by Derek. Such a wizard possessed formidable group buff abilities.

Liu Yan made a mental note to prioritize dealing with this wizard during the upcoming battle, as eliminating him early would weaken the overall combat strength of the half-beast people team.

At this moment, Liu Yan had already prepared his response to Grom Blackhand's question. He feigned a degree of fear and replied, "Uh, you guys are the formidable Storm Team, ranked in the top 100 of the new territory, right? You're incredibly strong, and we're simply no match for you. How about we opt for one-on-one combat? That way, even if we lose, the casualties will be relatively minimal. What do you think?"
