Chapter 1096 - 1096 Admirable Anton

1096 Admirable Anton

Due to these circumstances, Anton Mellon found himself deeply impressed by Liu Yan.

Despite Liu Yan being a newcomer, his strength was already astonishing. Despite having one star less in terms of combat strength, he could easily defeat him. Such individuals were genuinely remarkable.

Anton Mellon also understood that Liu Yan’s future potential would be even more formidable. In the days to come, the gap between him and Liu Yan would only widen further.

Through this territory battle, Anton Mellon came to a realization. It wasn’t just Liu Yan who was extraordinary, the talents of the other recruits were equally remarkable.

Previously, Anton Mellon had questioned Lu Dajiang and the others’ choices. Why would seasoned individuals opt to join a fledgling territory? Wasn’t this detrimental to their futures?

However, he now realized that he had been mistaken, and his misconceptions were substantial. Territories as robust as this one genuinely held the key to the future. By affiliating with such a flourishing territory, Lu Dajiang and the rest had altered their fates.

This might be a new territory, yet it already possessed formidable strength. Anton Mellon could only imagine how formidable they would become as their power genuinely developed and their latent talents were realized.

Observing his subordinates, who were not only defeated but also harbored grievances, Anton Mellon’s countenance soured, and he reprimanded them, “Enough! What are you all acting like?”

The elite members of Team Elf fell into silence and directed their attention towards their captain, Anton Mellon.

Anton Mellon continued his reprimand, “Why are you blaming it on bad luck? It’s merely a matter of insufficient strength! If we lose to them, it means our strength falls short. Complaining here and there serves no purpose. Why don’t you take a look at the opponents on the other side? These rookies might not be as strong as you now, but do you think it will take long for these rookies to surpass you in the future?”

Anton Mellon’s words left the elite members of Team Elf in a contemplative silence. Putting aside the extraordinary Liu Yan, the other newcomers from Team Origin were also exceptionally talented.

Despite their status as newcomers, their strength was already commendable.

Even though the newcomers from Team Origin weren’t as strong as them, they still fought with all their might.

With such a determined spirit, it was evident that it wouldn’t be long before they grew and even surpassed their seniors.

Anton Mellon’s words undeniably struck the most sensitive chord in their hearts.

They were originally the experts of the Team Elf, and they were all proud individuals.

However, now, they had encountered newcomers who were more talented and diligent than they were. It was just a matter of time before they outshone them. This made them feel somewhat inferior.

Anton Mellon was in no mood to say more. “Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. Everyone, speaks less. Go back and work hard to enhance your strength. If we lose this time, we’ll win it back next time!”

In contrast to the Team Elf’s disheartened state and low morale, the members of Team Origin wore expressions of jubilation.

This territory battle had been far from easy for Team Origin.

As a new territory, Team Origin had led the way among their peers.

Yet, compared to the old territories at the Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower, there was a significant disparity in strength.

This time, they had been pitted against the Team Elf, a formidable force ranked at 3,000.

At the start of the territory battle, Team Origin had faced numerous setbacks.

At the most challenging point, Team Origin had only one player remaining, whereas Team Elf had retained seven players.

Such a glaring gap, such a pronounced disadvantage, would have meant certain defeat in the past.

But this time, Team Origin had emerged victorious!

The credit for this triumph undoubtedly rested on one person, Liu Yan.

It could be asserted that Liu Yan single-handedly executed a remarkable comeback, leading Team Origin to victory.

Lu Dajiang and the others were well aware of Liu Yan’s prowess. However, the challenges in this instance were far greater. They had once thought that they had no chance. Even if Liu Yan went on stage, he could not withstand so many experts taking turns to fight a battle of attrition. They only hoped that Liu Yan could win as many small matches as possible and obtain some rewards.

The actual outcome had far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Liu Yan took turns to battle the seven experts of the Team Elf, including the Team Elf’s most powerful expert.

However, Liu Yan was unstoppable and managed to lead the entire Team Origin to victory single-handedly!

Finally, they had secured victory in the territory battle.

Not only did the rewards for the previous ten small matches double, but they also received additional rewards.

The extra rewards were random group rewards, entailing a random A-grade skill for each member of Team Origin.

An A-grade skill was already of a relatively high level.

Even for the experts on Team Origin, this was a significant enhancement.

For the ordinary members of Team Origin, it represented a substantial boost.

Many of the regular team members only possessed A-grade skills, with A-grade skills being their most potent abilities.

However, now, after achieving victory in the territory battle, the Will of Tower rewarded each of them with an A-grade skill. This was undoubtedly a tremendous advancement for Team Origin’s members.

The rewards from the previous small matches were also generous. Now, with the rewards doubled, the combat strength of all Team Origin members had a swift and notable increase.

Lu Dajiang said, “The rewards from this territory battle are indeed generous. If I had known earlier, I would have participated more.”

Huang Yuan smiled wryly, saying, “We, in the Lighthouse Territory, also engaged in territory battles in the past. But what was the outcome? Either we randomly faced weaker opponents, with limited rewards even after victory, or we met formidable adversaries, making it impossible to win. In these cases, we’d win fewer small battles, and sometimes even end up at a loss.”

Wei Feng nodded in agreement and added, “The generous rewards this time are a result of our victory against a formidable opponent. The rewards for triumphing in this territory battle are randomized, based on the opposing side’s strength.”

Ning Shanshan declared, “In summary, this time we achieved victory against stronger opponents, leading to these bountiful rewards.”

Liu Qingrou smiled and said, “The key is that our captain was strong enough. It was the captain who overcame the odds!”

Ye Yifan echoed with a joyful expression, “The previous rewards have even doubled. This means the combat strength of all Team Origin members will likely see a significant boost!”

Murong Xue chimed in, “After obtaining this heap of rewards, I feel like my strength has increased significantly, not to mention the ordinary team members.”

Luo Wei estimated, “With all these rewards combined, it shouldn’t be difficult for the ordinary members of Team Origin to enhance their combat strength by a whole star!”
