Chapter 1081 Picking Up a Leap

In the arena, Edi Carmen and Wei Feng stood facing each other.

Both wielded short swords, and their combat styles were remarkably similar.

These two individuals were not strangers, they knew each other well.

As Edi Carmen gazed at Wei Feng, his expression was filled with curiosity.

While he was unaware of the events in the Lighthouse Territory involving Lu Dajiang, it was evident that they had recently joined a new territory.

Furthermore, this new territory appeared to be inhabited by a multitude of newcomer humans.

Initially, Edi Carmen hadn’t paid much attention to such matters. After all, the affairs of humans and other territories held little relevance to the Elf Territory.

However, his recent bout with Murong Xue had left Edi Carmen genuinely impressed.

Despite ultimately emerging victorious against Murong Xue, the battle had been far from easy.

Edi Carmen was a prominent expert among the Elf Clan, boasting a formidable 17-star combat strength.

In contrast, Murong Xue, his recent opponent, had only just reached a 15-star combat strength.

The discrepancy in their power was significant.

In ordinary circumstances, Edi Carmen should have made short work of an opponent like Murong Xue with 15-star combat strength.

However, the reality was that Edi Carmen had faced an uphill struggle, eventually defeating Murong Xue only after expending a substantial amount of energy.

As a result, Edi Carmen was now fatigued, and this battle against Wei Feng was practically a foregone conclusion, one he was destined to lose.

Had it not been for Murong Xue’s energy-draining fight, under normal circumstances, Edi Carmen would have been more than capable of easily besting Wei Feng, who was in the later stages of the 15-star combat strength phase, without finding himself in this precarious situation.

Expressing his bewilderment, Edi Carmen couldn’t help but inquire, “What kind of territory have you joined? How is it possible that a newcomer with such extraordinary abilities has emerged?”

Edi Carmen had been in the Wind Barrier for a long time, so he naturally knew the importance of this matter.

A rookie with such terrifying talent, even if he had not truly grown up.

However, it wouldn’t be long before they truly grew up. The combat strength of the entire territory would rise in a straight line.

Why wouldn’t their Elf Territory want to absorb such a terrifying talent?

It was often the case that newcomers with such extraordinary talent were hard to come by and couldn’t be easily integrated.

On the opposite side, Wei Feng, upon hearing Edi Carmen’s question, couldn’t help but grin smugly and replied, “Oh, you mean Murong Xue? Well, she’s just alright, nothing too special!”

Wei Feng was telling the truth. While Murong Xue had indeed been impressive, many of the newcomers in Team Origin possessed extremely formidable talent.

Compared to individuals like Allen Smith, Murong Xue did have good talent, but that was about it. However, when measured against a monster like Liu Yan, Murong Xue seemed rather ordinary.

This was why Wei Feng responded as he did.

But in Edi Carmen’s ears, such a response came across as condescending, even pretentious.

“Enough of that!” Edi Carmen said in an annoyed tone. “Don’t play it cool after reaping the benefits. You’ve recruited such a powerful newcomer, so stop pretending. Get on with the fight, and don’t get too cocky. You won’t win this territory battle!”

Despite the recent setback, Edi Carmen seemed quite confident in the overall territory battle.

Seeing this, Wei Feng refrained from further words and promptly initiated the battle.

Before long, the two of them clashed, brandishing their short swords.

In the past, Wei Feng’s combat strength had lagged behind that of Edi Carmen. However, Edi Carmen had recently made a breakthrough, widening the gap between them.

Under normal circumstances, Edi Carmen would have easily bested Wei Feng.

Yet, unfortunately, his recent battles with Lu Dajiang, particularly the one against Murong Xue, had depleted his energy significantly.

In his fatigued state, Edi Carmen couldn’t unleash his full potential, gradually losing ground to Wei Feng.

After a brief struggle, Edi Carmen was defeated and narrowly avoided sustaining severe injuries.

Observing this, Wei Feng grinned brightly and quipped. “Haha, ordinarily, I’m no match for you. But today is different. Admit defeat, if you continue to fight, you’ll only get hurt.”

Edi Carmen understood that Wei Feng was speaking the truth and didn’t insist further. He chose to admit defeat.

The moment Edi Carmen chose to admit defeat, the Will of Tower immediately teleported him out of the arena.

At the same time, the Will of Tower made another announcement.

[Team Origin wins the fourth battle!]

[The opponent territory, please select the next player within one minute to continue the battle.]

[Team Origin has won the fourth match. The reward is being randomly selected…]

[Randomization successful. Congratulations on obtaining a personal reward, a random S-grade skill!]

[The fifth battle is about to begin. Please be prepared!]

Liu Yan and the others were also somewhat surprised when they heard this. In the previous three small battles, the final rewards were all group rewards.

However, this time it was a random individual reward.

Nevertheless, this individual reward was quite generous. It turned out to be a direct reward of an S-grade skill!

For instance, Wei Feng only had one or two S-grade skills.

Obtaining a new S-grade skill was a significant enhancement for Wei Feng.

Not everyone had a plethora of S-grade or even SS-grade skills like Liu Yan.

For a typical Awakened, one S-grade skill was already an immensely powerful asset.

With Wei Feng now obtaining a new S-grade skill, his combat strength was sure to see a substantial boost.

Huang Yuan, who was nearby, also chimed in with an explanation, “Generally, group rewards are more common, but there are also individual rewards.”

Lu Dajiang added, “Winning just a small team battle and receiving an S-grade skill as a reward is indeed quite generous.”

Ning Shanshan commented, “But it’s random. The specific strength of the reward depends on luck.”

Liu Qingrou smiled gently and said, “Regardless, it’s an S-grade skill, and it will significantly enhance one’s abilities. It seems that Wei Feng’s combat strength will soon stand out from the rest of us.”

Liu Yan also nodded in agreement, “Having an individual reward is acceptable, and it leads to improvement.”

While Liu Yan was eager to enhance the strength of the entire Team Origin, he placed even greater importance on group rewards.

Nonetheless, strengthening the abilities of an individual expert within Team Origin was also a valuable achievement.

Moreover, this time, Wei Feng received a direct S-grade skill, resulting in a substantial qualitative leap in his strength. It was undoubtedly a significant gain.

In any case, there were still numerous small battles in the future, offering more opportunities for rewards.

Furthermore, if they could secure victory in the final territory battle, they would not only gain additional special rewards but also see all the previous small round rewards doubled.

The upcoming battles held an even greater significance.

Soon after Joey Harman and Edi Carmen’s defeats, the opposing Team Elf sent out their third player.
