1083 Difficult Battle
Lu Dajiang said, “There’s nothing we can do. The opponents decide who they want to send.”
Huang Yuan replied, “We can only blame ourselves for not being as strong.”
However, Ning Shanshan couldn’t help but look at Wei Feng with disdain. She said, “While Bernie Galt is undeniably powerful, the fact that he defeated you so effortlessly in just a move or two without you putting up any resistance is rather embarrassing, don’t you think?”
When Wei Feng heard this, his face instantly darkened. He felt a little embarrassed.
How could he not want to exhaust Bernie Galt?
However, he was helpless. His strength did not allow it!
Not only was there a huge gap in strength between Wei Feng and Bernie Galt but there was also a restraining relationship between them.
Wei Feng, who was good at close combat with a short sword, couldn’t get close at all. He was instantly killed by Bernie Galt, making Wei Feng unable to use his full strength.
Wei Feng said helplessly, “It’s just that there’s nothing I can do. If I were also a long-range soldier, I might have managed to hold out for a while, but as a melee combatant, I couldn’t even get close to Bernie Galt before it was over.”
“Alright.” Liu Yan patted Wei Feng on the shoulder and consoled him, saying, “You’ve done your best. Now let’s see how we do moving forward.”
With that, Liu Yan turned his attention to Huang Yuan.
Huang Yuan understood and was prepared. He walked forward and stepped onto the arena.
Huang Yuan was also representing the fourth member of Team Origin, now facing Bernie Galt, the third member of Team Elf.
Liu Yan, watching from below, was filled with curiosity.
While he was familiar with Lu Dajiang and the others from their time at Lighthouse Academy, Huang Yuan was a bit of an enigma to him. He wondered about Huang Yuan’s true strength.
Huang Yuan’s situation was unique. He entered the battlefield empty-handed, without any weapons.
He didn’t even have a pair of gloves, let alone the typical swords, staves, or other weaponry.
When Liu Yan saw this, he could not help but ask in puzzlement, “Does Huang Yuan not have a weapon?”
Lu Dajiang and the others nodded when they heard that.
Ning Shanshan smiled and said, “Huang Yuan is quite the oddball. He’s the only human Awakened I’ve seen who doesn’t use any weapons.”
Liu Qingrou nodded in agreement, adding, “Huang Yuan cultivates the Body Arts system. He uses various parts of his body as weapons, and he’s rather strong.”
Lu Dajiang also chimed in with approval, saying, “Exactly. He’s quite a peculiar individual. Every part of his body is trained to be stronger than a weapon. His fists, legs, elbows, knees, head, and any other part of his body serve as his weapons. Despite not using any physical weapons, his body is stronger than many.”
Liu Yan was quite surprised when he heard this. He hadn’t expected that Huang Yuan specialized in ancient martial arts, one of the most primitive forms of cultivation.
This path had been abandoned by many on the Blue Planet for a reason. Some considered ancient martial arts to be too troublesome to cultivate, and the benefits at later stages were not great. It was challenging in the early stages and lacked power in the later stages, leading many Awakened on the Blue Planet to give up on it.
However, Liu Yan was intrigued that Huang Yuan had chosen this path. What’s more, Huang Yuan’s strength was far from weak. He was considered one of the top experts in the original Lighthouse Territory. To reach such a level in ancient martial arts was an extraordinary achievement.
Liu Yan looked forward to seeing how powerful Huang Yuan had become, having specialized in ancient martial arts.
The outcome of the battle between Huang Yuan and Bernie Galt was predetermined since they had a significant difference in their combat strength, so Huang Yuan was bound to lose.
For Huang Yuan, the key to this battle was how much he could consume Bernie Galt’s energy and how much he could lay the foundation for his teammates.
Simultaneously, Liu Yan was eager to witness the extent of Huang Yuan’s mastery of ancient martial arts.
In the arena, as soon as Huang Yuan made his entrance, he wasted no time and charged directly at Bernie Galt.
Huang Yuan excelled in ancient martial arts, using his body as a weapon for his attacks. Naturally, he needed to close the distance to unleash his true combat strength. It was particularly important since Huang Yuan had only 16-star combat strength, while Bernie Galt had at least 18-star combat strength.
There was a substantial gap in strength between the two of them.
In such circumstances, Huang Yuan needed to close the distance to have any chance of winning. After all, Bernie Galt had expended little energy in dealing with Wei Feng and was in excellent condition.
Upon seeing this, Bernie Galt didn’t hesitate. He drew his bow and released elemental arrow feathers aimed at Huang Yuan.
Surprisingly, Huang Yuan stepped into thin air and soared into the sky. While dodging Bernie Galt’s arrows, he also gained a significant speed boost.
Huang Yuan seemed to take slow and deliberate steps, but in reality, with each step, he could teleport a considerable distance. His speed was, in fact, quite rapid.
Under Huang Yuan’s unique footwork, the gap between him and Bernie Galt was rapidly diminishing.
Watching from below the arena, Liu Yan was taken aback.
“He can tread upon the void, covering vast distances in the blink of an eye. Huang Yuan’s mastery of ancient martial arts is truly impressive.” Liu Yan couldn’t help but express his admiration.
Although Liu Yan himself had not practiced ancient martial arts, he had considerable knowledge of the discipline.
Wei Feng nodded and added, “Huang Yuan achieved this quite a while ago. According to him, he dedicated a significant amount of time and effort to laying the foundation for his skills in ancient martial arts. This resulted in somewhat slower progress in terms of strength.” Nevertheless, Huang Yuan believed that once he had a solid foundation, he would be able to make rapid advancements in the future, even though he wasn’t certain if it was entirely true.”
Liu Yan raised an eyebrow, finding himself somewhat convinced by Huang Yuan’s explanation. After all, ancient martial arts indeed required a solid foundation compared to conventional cultivation.
In theory, Huang Yuan’s approach seemed reasonable. By establishing a strong foundation first and then pursuing further strength, he might be able to become even more powerful.
Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation. He wondered how much Huang Yuan’s strength would improve once he had established that strong foundation. Such a prospect greatly intrigued him.
At the same time, the battle in the arena was still going on fiercely.
Huang Yuan, stepping on the void and shrinking space around him, effortlessly evaded Bernie Galt’s attacks with a series of arrow feathers, and rapidly closed the distance between them.
It was clear that Bernie Galt’s strength far surpassed Huang Yuan’s, with a two-star advantage. There was a significant qualitative difference.
Furthermore, Bernie Galt’s arrow feathers were potent. A single hit would result in severe injuries to Huang Yuan and a substantial drop in his combat strength.
In other words, Bernie Galt had fired hundreds of arrow feathers thus far, and if just one of them found its mark, the outcome of the battle would be decided.
However, Bernie Galt’s luck seemed to be against him.
