Chapter 1053 - 1053 Both Battle and Training!

1053 Both Battle and Training!

Liu Yan felt that time had passed rather quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than a year had gone by since they entered the Tower.

It had been a month since they entered the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower, and the one-month novice protection period would end tomorrow morning.

During this time, Liu Yan and Team Origin experienced numerous hardships and faced danger on multiple occasions.

Even though Team Origin appeared safe at the moment, they could encounter significant dangers at any time.

After all, if they were discovered by the Lakon Territory, the Origin Territory might face catastrophic consequences.

Confronted with the overwhelmingly powerful Lakon Territory, the Origin Territory had no means of resistance.

At the very least, the current Origin Territory was utterly powerless!

Nevertheless, Liu Yan was content. Throughout this period, both he and the members of Team Origin had made tremendous gains and achieved significant improvements.

The construction and development of the Origin Territory were also progressing well.

Liu Yan remained confident in the face of the challenging future that lay ahead.

…

The following morning arrived, in the early hours, all the members of Team Origin had assembled.

The team members from the seven squads stood in formation on the square.

There was just one hour left before the territory barrier would disappear.

When the territory barrier vanished, it would mark the commencement of Team Origin’s first territorial battle.

Of course, this initial battle was a random confrontation enforced by the tower’s consciousness. It couldn’t be declined, and it wouldn’t consume any battle tokens!

At this moment, Liu Yan activated his SSS-grade special equipment, the Wings of the Wind God. He descended slowly before everyone.

The members of Team Origin gazed up at Liu Yan, their eyes filled with admiration.

The original members of the five squads in Team Origin had grown accustomed to such scenes.

Ever since they had started following Liu Yan, they had witnessed numerous miracles performed by him.

In many situations they had deemed impossible, Liu Yan had managed to turn the tide.

And during numerous crises, it was Liu Yan who had led them through unscathed.

Upon seeing Liu Yan’s arrival, some of the team members who had been concerned about the territorial battle had their worries dispelled.

As long as Liu Yan was leading them, they felt there was nothing to fear and no challenge they couldn’t overcome.

Liu Yan had gradually become their pillar of strength. As long as Liu Yan was with them, they were filled with confidence. As long as their morale was high, they believed they could conquer anything!

For the members of the sixth and seventh squads, this scene was undoubtedly unfamiliar.

However, as they saw Liu Yan descending from the sky like a god, even these members couldn’t help but admire him.

After all, they were well aware that Liu Yan was a newcomer to the Wind Barrier, having spent just a month in this place.

Yet in the span of that one month, Liu Yan’s strength had grown to an extraordinarily impressive level.

Even when pitted against these veterans, he possessed terrifying strength capable of crushing them.

The fact that a newcomer could overwhelm all the seniors left them profoundly astonished.

When they learned that Liu Yan had single-handedly dealt with Luo Feng and Luo Rui, they were shocked.

They had little experience witnessing Liu Yan in action, but every instance had left them profoundly impressed!

Now that they had such a formidable captain, they felt considerably more at ease.

However, perhaps the most astonished individuals were Lu Dajiang and the others.

Lu Dajiang and the other three came from Lighthouse Academy, just like Liu Yan. They were Liu Yan’s seniors.

They had even participated in experiential training with Liu Yan back at Lighthouse Academy and had witnessed Liu Yan’s strength.

Although during that experiential training, Liu Yan had already displayed extraordinary talent and even saved them on that occasion.

However, Liu Yan’s strength had lagged far behind theirs at that time.

But now, Liu Yan’s strength had far surpassed theirs.

Lu Dajiang and the other two were also geniuses among geniuses.

They had always been the ones surpassing others, but this time, Liu Yan had surpassed them, and he had done so decisively.

At this moment, they couldn’t help but feel a sense of embarrassment, but at the same time, they were overwhelmed by the shocking speed of Liu Yan’s growth.

“Who would have thought that the junior from back then would surpass us by such a margin and even become our captain?” Lu Dajiang remarked.

Wei Feng added, “Back then, I could see that he was extraordinary, but I never expected him to be this extraordinary. It’s truly beyond my expectations, even beyond my imagination!”

Liu Qingrou, covering her mouth while giggling, commented, “To achieve such rapid growth, our Lighthouse Academy hasn’t produced someone like him in many years.”

“That person…”

Wei Feng seemed to recall someone from the past and displayed a hint of regret and sadness. He looked at Liu Yan and said, “I hope that Liu Yan won’t repeat the same mistakes and become the next source of regret. Instead, I hope he can change the current situation of humanity on the Blue Planet.”

On the other hand, Ning Shanshan appeared confused. She did not seem to understand what they were talking about.

“Who are you referring to?” Liu Yan inquired.

At this moment, Liu Yan had descended to a low altitude and arrived in front of the members of Team Origin’s seven squads.

Liu Yan surveyed the members of Team Origin before him, all of whom appeared spirited and in good shape.

Evidently, despite the essence pool primarily bestowing potential and future strength upon them, their current strength had not seen significant improvements.

However, their confidence had greatly increased. Presently, the members of the seven squads were brimming with self-assuredness, embodying their aspirations for the future.

Liu Yan himself was also in good spirits.

Over the past month, his strength had notably increased, the Origin Territory had seen significant development, and the members of Team Origin had experienced substantial growth. This was especially true since Team Origin had expanded to include the sixth and seventh squads.

Both the sixth and seventh squads originated from the Lighthouse Territory, consisting of experienced individuals with considerably greater strength.

It could be stated that the current Origin Territory, whether in terms of elite combat strength or the combat strength of ordinary members, stood out as the leader among all new territories.

In reality, the true competitors for the Origin Territory were no longer the other new territories from the same batch but the more formidable old territories.

As a result, Liu Yan harbored confidence regarding the random battles that would occur once the territory barrier disappeared.

No matter the opponent they were matched against at random, as long as it was a new territory, the Origin Territory had nothing to fear and could effortlessly emerge victorious.

Liu Yan was steadfast in his conviction regarding this matter!

Liu Yan also chimed in, saying, “Everyone, I believe you are all prepared. I don’t think I need to elaborate further on this territory battle. You can all naturally work together diligently and secure an easy victory!”

Upon hearing Liu Yan’s words, the members of Team Origin exchanged glances, wearing expressions of relaxation.

The members of Team Origin felt that winning this territory battle would be effortless.

However, Liu Yan’s tone then shifted, and he continued, “But, everyone, I hope you will take this seriously!”

The members of Team Origin looked at Liu Yan with some confusion.

Liu Yan went on, “While winning this battle may seem easy, there’s a significant difference in how we do it. Whether we achieve victory with minimal casualties in a chaotic battle or work together seamlessly with no casualties, the distinction is substantial.”

“At the same time, I want you all to understand that we will face various battles in the future, filled with danger and challenges. Therefore, I request that regardless of the opponent’s strength in this battle, you must stay focused, cooperate, and show unwavering obedience. We not only need to secure victory in this battle but also do so without any casualties. Additionally, we need to enhance our teamwork and coordination for the demanding battles that lie ahead. Starting from now, I will lead us in training and preparation for future encounters!”

The members of Team Origin were deeply moved by Liu Yan’s words.

Although winning this territory battle wasn’t particularly difficult for Team Origin, achieving victory with no casualties presented a challenge. After all, they did not know the strength of their opponents.

Furthermore, while this territory battle seemed easy, it might not be the case in the future.

Future battles would be fraught with danger!

Especially when facing the formidable Lakon Territory in the distant future, that would truly test their mettle.

Beginning battle training now was undoubtedly crucial.

The initially relaxed team members couldn’t help but adopt serious expressions.
