Chapter 1074 - 1074 First Duel Territory Battle, Against the Elf Clan!
1074 First Duel Territory Battle, Against the Elf Clan!
“Is everything ready?” Liu Yan looked at his team and said.
Lu Dajiang and the others nodded, indicating they were prepared. Liu Yan looked at Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan understood and produced a battle token, handing it to Liu Yan. He instructed, “This was a Territory Battle Token for a single battle. At the moment, we have a total of three single battle tokens. Single battle tokens were the most precious, so there were only a few of them. After we used them up, we could only venture out to find them or trade for them.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan nodded, signifying his understanding.
Liu Yan was already familiar with the specific rules.
There were only three ways to obtain a battle token, particularly the highly prized single battle token.
One was to potentially acquire it after a territory battle, although this was somewhat random and had a lower probability.
The other method involved embarking on adventures and exploring various secret realms, defeating fierce beasts, monsters, and other creatures from foreign lands. This offered a chance to obtain these tokens.
However, both of these methods were quite unpredictable.
The last approach was through trading.
By heading to the trading location on the sixth level of the tower, known as the Wind Barrier, they could make direct exchanges using items of equivalent value.
The third method provided a reliable means of obtaining valuable single battle tokens but required the exchange of other valuable items. It also involved some risks.
Liu Yan decided to put thoughts of these risks aside for the time being.
After all, Huang Yuan currently possessed three single battle tokens, which would suffice for a certain period.
Once they were used up, they would contemplate the next step based on the situation.
Liu Yan accepted the single battle token from Huang Yuan and looked at his nine teammates.
All nine of them nodded, indicating they were prepared.
Liu Yan, seeing their readiness, refrained from further words. He crushed the single battle token in his hand and initiated the single battle.
As the scroll disintegrated, it instantly vanished, transforming into a brilliant, five-colored light that fell beneath the feet of Liu Yan and his companions, creating an intricate Array Technique.
In the next moment, Liu Yan and his team experienced a brief bout of dizziness, surrounded by a vibrant, multi-colored spectacle.
Upon reopening their eyes, Liu Yan and his team found themselves in a vast, white expanse.
Liu Yan had just taken a step forward when he sensed the presence of a substantial barrier.
It was the same as the barrier in the previous battle. It was invisible, but it could be touched and felt.
Huang Yuan explained, “The huge space behind the barrier in front was the arena. Behind the barrier on the opposite side was the random territory of the opposite side. Each time, both sides sent a contestant to enter this arena space for a single battle. The winner received a certain reward and had to continue standing there, waiting for the next challenger from the other side. The one who admitted defeat or died would leave the field. This cycle continued, and the one who stood in the arena would obtain the final victory in the territory battle. All the rewards obtained before were doubled, and they also received some additional rewards!”
Liu Yan understood the rules and gazed into the distance, observing the territory behind the barrier.
This barrier completely restricted perception. Perception skills couldn’t penetrate it, and observation had to be done with the naked eye.
Fortunately, Liu Yan possessed an SS-grade extraordinary perception, and his visual ability had received a significant boost.
Even though they were thousands of meters apart, Liu Yan could see the territory behind the barrier.
Liu Yan initially examined the size of the barrier, which had a radius of about 2,000 meters. The range was relatively large, allowing creatures of various races and professions to unleash their full potential.
Then, Liu Yan turned his attention to the territory behind the barrier.
At first glance, Liu Yan thought it bore some resemblance to humans and assumed he had randomly ended up in human territory.
However, further observation revealed that this wasn’t the case. Their ears were pointed, their eyes sparkled like gems, and their appearance exuded a strong spiritual aura.
Liu Yan was immediately certain that the other party was, in fact, of the elf clan.
“It’s the elf clan on the other side,” Liu Yan exclaimed in surprise. Upon hearing Liu Yan’s words, Lu Dajiang and the others were equally taken aback.
At such a great distance, without the aid of any perception skills, Liu Yan could see the features of the other party with just his naked eyes.
“We can see from this far, so we don’t have to go in blind,” Wei Feng said, quite pleased.
In response, Huang Yuan explained to Liu Yan, “In regular single battles, due to the considerable distance and the inability to utilize any perception skills to sense through the barrier, in most cases, we often can’t determine the opponent’s territory or their strength. We end up selecting participants blindly. Of course, in a few instances, if the opponent’s race is notably large, we can discern it at this range.”
Liu Yan, upon hearing this, finally comprehended the situation. Not being able to ascertain the opponent’s territory and strength would leave them with no choice but to make blind selections, a highly passive approach. Thankfully, Liu Yan’s SS-grade extraordinary perception skill allowed him to avoid this predicament.
Lu Dajiang chimed in, saying, “So, it’s the elf on the other side? There aren’t many elf territories on the sixth level of the tower, just a few. Captain, if you describe the features of the other side, we can determine which type of elf and which territory they belong to. This will give us an idea of their approximate strength.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan continued his observation and explained, “They all have white hair and blue eyes. Their height is roughly similar to that of humans, but they’re a bit slender. Three of them are wielding swords, two have shields, while the rest are unarmed.”
Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan exchanged a glance upon hearing this, and their expressions took on a peculiar quality.
Liu Yan, noticing their reactions, couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on?”
Wei Feng, standing nearby, explained with a smile, “The other side belongs to the White Elf Clan. Since they’ve initiated a territory battle, it’s likely the same White Elf Clan we’re familiar with. The bad news is that they’re not weak. Their territory is ranked around 3,000 to 4,000, surpassing the Lighthouse Territory we were in previously. The good news is that most elven experts are skilled in magic, Bow and Arrow, and long-range attacks. They are generally not very strong in a single battle. As long as we can close the distance, we have a good chance of winning. Additionally, the White Elf Clan maintains a good relationship with the humans on the Blue Planet. In our battle, there’s no need to fight to the death. We only need to determine the winner. This territorial battle isn’t very dangerous for us. There won’t be a risk to our lives.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan gained a rough understanding of the opposing team’s strength.
First of all, the White Elf Territory was ranked around 3,000 to 4,000, while the Lighthouse Territory was ranked around 5,000.
