As Luo Qingcheng finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.

In this battle, Team Origin suffered the loss of ten members.

Ten members didn’t sound like a significant number, and the casualties weren’t that great.

However, every single member of Team Origin was invaluable.

Nurturing each team member required a substantial investment of resources and time.

Moreover, every member of Team Origin had undergone rigorous selection from the lower levels of the tower, making them the cream of the crop, exceptional talents that were truly rare.

However, in this battle, they had lost ten members in a single blow, which was a considerable loss.

Liu Yan remained silent for a moment before asking, “Have the corpses been properly handled?”

Luo Qingcheng nodded, saying, “All of them have been brought back and dealt with. Nothing has been overlooked.”

Liu Yan nodded, finding some solace in his response.

In this cruel sixth level of the tower, Liu Yan knew there was little more he could do for the fallen members. It was an unfortunate reality they had to accept.

Derek Dole hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Although it’s regrettable to lose ten members, we mustn’t dwell on it. In fact, losing only ten members in today’s battle is less than what we had anticipated. It’s not bad news. While we mourn their loss, we should focus on looking ahead. There’s still a long road ahead of us.”

Sun Wen also nodded in agreement and said, “Indeed, the sixth level of the tower is inherently brutal. Each of our team members had mentally prepared themselves for the possibility of dying here when they chose to come to this level. At this moment, we must navigate through this challenging period together and ensure the survival of the remaining members. Only by staying alive can we continue to grow stronger.”

After a period of adjustment, the group started to regain their composure.

Although this was the first time Team Origin had experienced casualties since reaching the sixth level of the tower, everyone deeply regretted the losses.

However, the battle between Team Origin and Team Lighthouse was known to be perilous, and they had all mentally prepared for such sacrifices.

The most important focus now was the upcoming battles.

After all, today was only the first day of the battle between Team Origin and Team Lighthouse, and it was not yet the most intense or brutal phase.

The subsequent battles would only escalate in intensity and cruelty.

“By the way, today’s plan should have been successful, right?” Xu Han couldn’t help but inquire, looking at Liu Yan.

Everyone turned their gaze toward Liu Yan.

Today’s plan was undoubtedly the most important.

After their first confrontation with Team Lighthouse, everyone realized how powerful Team Lighthouse was.

If they were to continue battling in the same manner, the future fights for Team Origin would be exceedingly challenging.

Even if Team Origin managed to withstand the assault from Team Lighthouse, it would undoubtedly result in significant losses.

And this kind of loss was something that Team Origin couldn’t afford.

After all, Team Origin had only recently arrived at the Wind Barrier and hadn’t fully developed yet. They still had to face various trials and dangers within the Wind Barrier.

If they suffered a huge loss at the beginning, the subsequent training on the sixth level of the tower would be extremely difficult.

Facing the group, Liu Yan’s expression displayed a hint of helplessness, and said, “There was something wrong today. Due to the urgency of the situation, I didn’t have the opportunity to thoroughly find Lu Dajiang’s presence. I only assessed which squad in Team Lighthouse consisted of Blue Planet members and proceeded toward them. However, I later discovered that the Lighthouse Territory not only had Lu Dajiang’s squad composed of Blue Planet members but also another squad. At that moment…”

Liu Yan briefly explained the situation to everyone.

Upon hearing, Liu Yan’s words, the expressions of those present turned somewhat peculiar.

They hadn’t anticipated that Liu Yan would mistakenly target the wrong person, failing to find Lu Dajiang and instead encountering another Blue Planet member.

Nevertheless, no one blamed Liu Yan. After all, in the battle against Team Lighthouse, while the entire team faced difficulties, Liu Yan undoubtedly faced the most arduous challenges.

Not only did Liu Yan need to hold back a peak expert like Luo Feng, but he also had to restrain the remaining experts from Team Lighthouse. After that, he had to complete this mission, and he also needed to cover Team Origin to retreat from the pursuit of Team Lighthouse.

Liu Yan’s tasks were extremely numerous, and the burden was incredibly heavy.

At that time, the situation was so complicated, and it was inevitable that some small mistakes would occur. Naturally, everyone would not blame Liu Yan too much.

Xu Han smiled and replied, “Although it wasn’t Lu Dajiang, this person is still from the Blue Planet. Shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Ye Yifan shook his head and said, “It’s hard to say. Although this person is from the Blue Planet, the sixth level of the tower presents an immensely challenging training environment. Many awakened undergo significant changes after entering the Wind Barrier. Even if the other party is from the Blue Planet, he may disregard us for his interests.”

Hans Wilson spoke, “Unfortunately, we can’t know Huang Yuan’s choice and thoughts. If we did, we could have prepared in advance.”

He Yang expressed his concern, “What can we do now? The situation is highly unfavorable for us.”

Jin Cheng suggested, “How about placing a bet? We bet that Huang Yuan will choose to stand with us.”

Derek Dole remained silent for a while, then said, “No need to worry, everyone. Although the captain didn’t directly meet Lu Dajiang, Huang Yuan may not be as trustworthy as Lu Dajiang, but they are still from the Blue Planet. Moreover, according to the captain, their squad had been fighting passively at that time. It’s possible that they lean more toward our side. I believe we still have a great chance.”

“True.”

Sun Wen also nodded and said, “Additionally, there’s another good news. Initially, we thought that there was only one squad from the Blue Planet in Team Lighthouse, led by Lu Dajiang. We could only defend against Team Lighthouse and barely defeat them by persuading Lu Dajiang’s squad to join us. But now, there is an additional squad, which changes the situation. If we can successfully recruit these two squads, we will have a great opportunity for a direct counterattack against Team Lighthouse.”

Luo Wei enthusiastically agreed and said, “That’s right. Team Lighthouse only had five squads in total. After today’s battle, even if their heavily injured members recover and regain their combat strength tomorrow, they have still suffered many casualties. They will be left with only four squads. If we recruit two more squads, it will be like having half of their strength. Our side’s strength will instantly surpass theirs!”

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao expressed some concern, “In that case, we may surpass them in terms of regular members and experts, but not when it comes to top-level experts. Unless the captain can defeat Luo Feng!”

Zheng Tainan added, “That’s true. The captain and Luo Feng, as top-level experts, have a significant impact on the battlefield. Whoever emerges victorious between them is crucial to the overall success of the battle.”

The core members of Team Origin couldn’t help but direct their gaze toward Liu Yan.

After experiencing the day’s battle, everyone witnessed the immense impact a top-level expert like Liu Yan had on the battlefield.

Liu Yan only managed to launch a few attacks against Team Lighthouse, but he caused significant casualties to Team Lighthouse.

If Liu Yan could defeat Luo Feng, the battle would have gone extremely smoothly after Team Origin had recruited the two squads from Team Lighthouse.

On the contrary, if Liu Yan had failed, even if Team Origin had managed to recruit the two squads from Team Lighthouse and surpassed them in strength, they would have faced tremendous difficulties due to Luo Feng’s presence.

In this way, the battle between Liu Yan and Luo Feng was undoubtedly of utmost importance. The outcome would have influenced the overall balance of the battle!
