The experts from Team Origin were now all visibly relaxed.

When they stepped onto the stage earlier, their strategies were focused on conceding, trying to find ways to surrender quickly and exit safely.

The preceding nine individuals had all surrendered and exited the arena.

Even so, Lu Dajiang had sustained serious injuries.

Such an experience naturally left them feeling quite frustrated.

However, they were compelled to do so by the stark difference in strength.

Fortunately, Liu Yan's appearance instantly turned the tide in their favor.

Their previous frustrations were completely gone, replaced by sheer delight!

Observing Liu Yan effortlessly deal with the two top Lakon experts, the Team Origin members were exhilarated.

After all, their opponents were from the Lakon Territory, ranked within the top 1000, a truly formidable domain within the Wind Barrier on the tower's sixth level.

For a new territory like Origin Territory to face Lakon was akin to a small boat confronting an aircraft carrier, an immense difference in power.

Yet, at this moment, despite facing such a vast disparity, Origin Territory had not suffered much.

They had gained an advantage.

How could such a scene not elicit jubilation?

Then, at this very moment, the Will of Tower made an announcement.

"This round goes to Team Origin. The rewards are currently being randomly chosen..."

"Random reward successful! Congratulations to Team Origin for obtaining a group reward: 100,000 combat experience for all members!"

"Lakon Territory must present the next contestant within the stipulated time!"

Upon hearing the Will of Tower confirmation of Liu Yan's victory, the Team Origin experts cheered even louder.

On the other side, the Lakon Territory experts displayed grimaces of displeasure.

Finally, they understood the reason behind their captain Lei Tianming's troubled expression.Wei Ping remained silent, carrying a gigantic sword even larger than himself as he ascended the stage.

"Who exactly is this Liu Yan? He managed to defeat Ding Li."

"His prowess doesn't seem extraordinary. It's the might of that mysterious equipment skill that's dominant."

"Indeed, Liu Yan relied on external items to defeat Ding Li. He was on the receiving end of Ding Li's attacks the entire time."

"It's a shame that Ding Li was outsmarted and defeated."

"No worries. Wei Ping has taken action. He'll easily deal with Liu Yan!"

"Someday, I'll make everyone from the Origin Territory accompany Ding Sheng and Ding Li in death!"

Silence enveloped the experts from Lakon Territory as they quietly discussed. They felt it was a pity that Liu Yan had taken advantage of Ding Li using mysterious equipment and external forces.

However, they firmly believed that the formidable Wei Ping would effortlessly handle Liu Yan.

Even if Liu Yan possessed similar external means, the gap between him and Wei Ping was insurmountable due to their significant difference in strength.

Meanwhile, the experts from Team Origin were intrigued by Wei Ping's appearance.

Wei Ping stood tall, nearly three meters high, an exceptional height among humans. His colossal sword plunged into the ground, surpassed his stature.

"Who's that?" Ning Shanshan inquired curiously. "He looks powerful. I haven't seen him before?"lights

"I've encountered many Lakon experts, but never this person," Wei Feng replied, shaking his head.

"Me neither." Lu Dajiang confirmed.

"Could he be a newcomer?" Liu Qingrou wondered aloud. "Or perhaps our rank isn't high enough to have seen him?"

Huang Yuan's expression turned peculiar.

"Brother Huang Yuan, have you seen him before?" Luo Wei inquired.

All eyes turned to Huang Yuan.

Shaking his head and then nodding, Huang Yuan said, "I haven't seen him, but I've heard rumors about a peculiar individual in Lakon Territory. His strength matches their captain's, wielding a massive sword. It's likely him!"Huang Yuan's words stirred reactions among the onlookers.

Luo Wei and the others didn't possess extensive knowledge about Lakon Territory, but the notion of this individual matching the captain's prowess indicated that this expert from Lakon Territory, wielding the colossal sword, was truly remarkable.

"Lei Tianming is ruthless. He sent out the second-strongest expert to deal with Liu Yan. It's a high-stakes move!" Lu Dajiang's expression turned sour as he spoke.

"D*mn it!" Ning Shanshan exclaimed, visibly agitated. "The captain might be in danger!"

"I hope the captain returns safely!" Liu Qingrou expressed her concern.

"Captain isn't impulsive. He probably sensed something amiss and will withdraw on time," Wei Feng remarked confidently.

"I believe Lei Tianming, the captain from Lakon Territory, has sensed something was amiss. He suspects Liu Yan is concealing his true strength, hence dispatching his second-in-

command." Huang Yuan speculated.

"This opponent seems formidable. It would be wiser for the captain to concede rather than engage." Luo Wei suggested.

"Absolutely." Ye Yifan agreed. "Captain has already dealt with two top experts from Lakon. That should be sufficient."

"Why fear?" Murong Xue challenged. "Liu Yan isn't someone to be underestimated. Despite this person's strength, they might not match up to Liu Yan!"

Alan Smith remained silent but kept a watchful gaze fixed on the stage.

Alan Smith was well aware of Liu Yan's temperament and abilities. Leaving immediately upon encountering a powerful opponent wasn't in Liu Yan's nature.

This indicated that Liu Yan and the Lakon expert wielding the giant sword were bound for an intense battle.

Naturally, Alan Smith was eagerly anticipating witnessing such an intense showdown.

At that moment, Wei Ping strode onto the battlefield wielding his colossal sword, taking a stance facing Liu Yan.

He firmly drove the massive sword into the ground, then crossed his arms, shutting his eyes to conserve energy, poised for the impending battle.

Wei Ping never glanced at Liu Yan across from him, seemingly disregarding his presence entirely.magic

Observing this peculiar scene, Liu Yan felt a tinge of surprise and hastily attempted to gauge his opponent's strength.

Although a barrier separated them on the battlefield, preventing direct engagement before the official commencement, it did not impede their perception.

Liu Yan, utilizing his S-grade skill, Omniscient Insight, tried to sense his opponent but was astounded to find no indication of the other's strength.

In Liu Yan's perception, the opponent appeared as an ordinary person, utterly concealed, devoid of any discernible strength.

There were usually only two possibilities in such a situation. One was that the other party was indeed an ordinary person and had no strength at all.

The other possibility was that the other party was a top-notch expert. His strength was completely restrained, which was why he could not sense it at all!

Given the opponent's representation of Lakon Territory in the battle, the latter seemed more likely.

Liu Yan couldn't help but adopt a serious expression. He knew he was facing an immensely powerful adversary, whose strength surpassed his own significantly!
