1103 Confusion

Liu Qingrou was trying her best not to expose herself, aiming to reduce pressure on the following players and mitigate potential danger.

Ding Sheng didn’t get annoyed when Liu Qingrou ignored him.

In any case, the time had run out. If the opponent admitted defeat, he would receive the reward. Both sides were content!

As the countdown of the tower’s consciousness was about to end, Ding Sheng furrowed his brow slightly.

The more Ding Sheng looked, the more familiar Liu Qingrou seemed. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before, but he couldn’t recall where exactly.

“Hey, have we met before?” Ding Sheng couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Liu Qingrou became nervous upon hearing that but remained silent in response to Ding Sheng’s question.

At that moment, the countdown timer in the tower’s consciousness had ended, and the battle began.

The instant the battle began, Liu Qingrou chose to admit defeat.

Immediately, Liu Qingrou was teleported off the battlefield by the Will of Tower.

The Will of Tower announced that Lakon had won the seventh match and would randomly select the rewards.

Ding Sheng was still contemplating where he had encountered the female Awakened before.

Meanwhile, the members of Team Lakon had already recognized Liu Qingrou.

“Isn’t that Liu Qingrou? From the original Lighthouse Territory!”

“It indeed is Liu Qingrou. I was wondering why she looked so familiar.”

“The Lighthouse Territory suddenly vanished, and these people are here!”

“We thought something happened to the Lighthouse Territory, but it appears they’re fine and have even joined this Origin Territory?”

“What about Luo Feng, Luo Rui, and the others? Did something happen to them?”

“There’s surely a conspiracy here. The explanation might only be found within this Origin Territory!”

“How could Ding Sheng be so foolish? Allowing the opponent to concede without stopping them!”

“No wonder the other side knew our strength and chose to admit defeat without a fight. It turns out Lu Dajiang and the others are within the Origin Territory!”

On the opposing side of the battlefield, the seventh member of Team Origin, Ning Shanshan, entered the battlefield.

Ding Sheng was still contemplating where he had encountered Liu Qingrou, but upon seeing Ning Shanshan, he was taken aback.

“It’s you! Ning Shanshan, why are you in the Origin Territory? What happened in the Lighthouse Territory?”

Ding Sheng was surprised. It was only then that he recalled encountering Liu Qingrou in the Lighthouse Territory.

Although Ding Sheng didn’t have a strong impression of Liu Qingrou, Ning Shanshan’s distinctive appearance made him instantly recognizable.

“What do our actions and choices have to do with you?” Ning Shanshan replied, clearly annoyed.

At that moment, the countdown of the Will of Tower ended, and the battle commenced.

Ding Sheng hesitated to attack immediately, aiming to continue his inquiries.

However, Ning Shanshan disregarded his attempts and chose to concede.

In an instant, Ning Shanshan was enveloped in white light and was teleported off the battlefield.

Witnessing this, Ding Sheng was stunned, finally piecing it together.

No wonder the opponents conceded without engaging in any combat.

No wonder the other team had let the other players go first, followed by Ning Shanshan and the others. They didn’t want to be recognized.

In that fleeting moment, Ding Sheng comprehended everything.

Ding Sheng’s objective became clear.

He couldn’t allow them to surrender and leave unscathed. It was imperative to detain them to uncover what transpired in the Lighthouse Territory.

The disappearance of individuals like Luo Feng, Luo Rui, and the Lakonian was undeniably connected to this group.

They were adversaries.

Ding Sheng made up his mind. His next opponent couldn’t be allowed to leave so easily. He had to attack him fiercely!

Below the Lakonian side of the battlefield, everyone was infuriated to see Ding Sheng let Ning Shanshan go without a fight.

“What’s Ding Sheng thinking? How could he just let Ning Shanshan leave like that?”

“They’re our enemies. We have to take them down.”

“I’m amazed by Ding Sheng!”

“Ding Sheng, attack them aggressively!”

On the other side, Team Origin couldn’t help but feel concerned.

After all, Ding Sheng, with a 19-star combat strength, was still at his peak.

Team Origin still had three players who hadn’t entered the match yet.

Liu Yan was strong, so there wasn’t much worry there.

However, Wei Feng and Lu Dajiang might be in danger.

Since Ding Sheng had recognized them, he wouldn’t let them leave unscathed.

Lu Dajiang and Wei Feng would surely face Ding Sheng’s intense attacks, which could be perilous.

Lu Dajiang looked at Wei Feng and said, “My defense is a bit stronger. You go first, pretend to fool Ding Sheng, and when the time’s up, admit defeat and leave immediately.”

“Alright.”

Wei Feng didn’t refuse. After all, he only had a combat strength of 16 stars. Faced with Ding Sheng, who possessed a 19-star combat strength, there was a terrifying gap of three stars.

If Ding Sheng had unleashed his full power, Wei Feng would not have withstood it. Serious injury would have been a light consequence. In severe cases, he might not have even made it back.

Hence, it was safer for him to take the stage before Lu Dajiang.

The first person to step up could still deceive Ding Sheng, reducing the danger.

Those who came later couldn’t deceive him, making it truly perilous.

Soon, the time arrived, and Wei Feng entered the battlefield.

Upon reaching the battlefield and facing Ding Sheng, Wei Feng wore a familiar expression and said, “Hey, isn’t this Ding Sheng? Long time no see. Your territory is too formidable. We have no choice but to concede.”

Ding Sheng was ready to erupt, but upon seeing Wei Feng’s familiar face, he was momentarily stunned.

Could he have misunderstood the situation? Were they not adversaries with the Lakonian?

Ding Sheng couldn’t help but inquire, “Where are Luo Feng, Luo Rui, and the others? Why did you vanish? And how come you joined the Origin Territory?”

“Sigh!”

Wei Feng immediately put on a pained expression. “This is a bit complicated. We were forced to join the Origin Territory to protect ourselves first, then go and rescue Luo Feng and Luo Rui. We’ve been unable to reach you guys. If we could get your help, maybe Luo Feng and Luo Rui still have a chance.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Sheng became immediately suspicious. He had a lingering feeling that Wei Feng was trying to deceive him.

But Ding Sheng couldn’t be certain. Given the current situation, it seemed plausible that something had occurred, making the situation complex, just as Wei Feng had described.

At that moment, time was up. Ding Sheng had forgotten his initial determination to attack fiercely and instead questioned Wei Feng about what had transpired.

However, Wei Feng wasn’t willing to give him a chance, nor did he want to engage further.

Their previous familiarity and the words spoken were merely to deceive Ding Sheng.

Wei Feng was aware he couldn’t completely deceive Ding Sheng, but confusing him and preventing a clear understanding of the situation was enough to achieve Wei Feng’s goal.

That was the current situation.

Despite Ding Sheng’s desire to inquire further, Wei Feng had already chosen to concede and safely leave the scene.

Only then did Ding Sheng realize he might have been tricked.

Instantly, Ding Sheng’s face reddened. He felt his intelligence had been insulted.

“These guys are too much. The next one, the next one…I’ll make them regret it!” Ding Sheng said angrily.
