Chapter 1083 Difficult Battle

Lu Dajiang said, "There's nothing we can do. The opponents decidewho they want to send."Huang Yuan replied, "We can only blame ourselves for not being asstrong."However, Ning Shanshan couldn't help but look at Wei Feng withdisdain. She said, "While Bernie Galt is undeniably powerful, thefact that he defeated you so effortlessly in just a move or twowithout you putting up any resistance is rather embarrassing, don'tyou think?"When Wei Feng heard this, his face instantly darkened. He felt alittle 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 andBernie Galt but there was also a restraining relationship betweenthem.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 Iwere also a long-range soldier, I might have managed to hold outfor a while, but as a melee combatant, I couldn't even get close toBernie Galt before it was over.""Alright." Liu Yan patted Wei Feng on the shoulder and consoledhim, saying, "You've done your best. Now let's see how we domoving forward."With that, Liu Yan turned his attention to Huang Yuan.Huang Yuan understood and was prepared. He walked forward andstepped onto the arena.Huang Yuan was also representing the fourth member of TeamOrigin, 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 theirtime at Lighthouse Academy, Huang Yuan was a bit of an enigma tohim. He wondered about Huang Yuan's true strength.Huang Yuan's situation was unique. He entered the battlefieldempty-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 anyweapons."Liu Qingrou nodded in agreement, adding, "Huang Yuan cultivatesthe 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 quitea peculiar individual. Every part of his body is trained to be strongerthan a weapon. His fists, legs, elbows, knees, head, and any otherpart of his body serve as his weapons. Despite not using anyphysical weapons, his body is stronger than many."Liu Yan was quite surprised when he heard this. He hadn't expectedthat Huang Yuan specialized in ancient martial arts, one of the mostprimitive forms of cultivation.This path had been abandoned by many on the Blue Planet for areason. Some considered ancient martial arts to be too troublesometo cultivate, and the benefits at later stages were not great. It waschallenging 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 thispath. What's more, Huang Yuan's strength was far from weak. Hewas considered one of the top experts in the original LighthouseTerritory. To reach such a level in ancient martial arts was anextraordinary achievement.Liu Yan looked forward to seeing how powerful Huang Yuan hadbecome, having specialized in ancient martial arts.The outcome of the battle between Huang Yuan and Bernie Galtwas predetermined since they had a significant difference in theircombat strength, so Huang Yuan was bound to lose.For Huang Yuan, the key to this battle was how much he couldconsume Bernie Galt's energy and how much he could lay thefoundation for his teammates.Simultaneously, Liu Yan was eager to witness the extent of HuangYuan's mastery of ancient martial arts.In the arena, as soon as Huang Yuan made his entrance, he wastedno time and charged directly at Bernie Galt.Huang Yuan excelled in ancient martial arts, using his body as aweapon for his attacks. Naturally, he needed to close the distanceto unleash his true combat strength. It was particularly importantsince Huang Yuan had only 16-star combat strength, while BernieGalt 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 tohave any chance of winning. After all, Bernie Galt had expendedlittle energy in dealing with Wei Feng and was in excellentcondition.Upon seeing this, Bernie Galt didn't hesitate. He drew his bow andreleased elemental arrow feathers aimed at Huang Yuan.Surprisingly, Huang Yuan stepped into thin air and soared into thesky. While dodging Bernie Galt's arrows, he also gained a significantspeed boost.Huang Yuan seemed to take slow and deliberate steps, but inreality, 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 andBernie 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 ofan eye. Huang Yuan's mastery of ancient martial arts is trulyimpressive." Liu Yan couldn't help but express his admiration.Although Liu Yan himself had not practiced ancient martial arts, hehad considerable knowledge of the discipline.Wei Feng nodded and added, "Huang Yuan achieved this quite awhile ago. According to him, he dedicated a significant amount oftime and effort to laying the foundation for his skills in ancientmartial arts. This resulted in somewhat slower progress in terms ofstrength." Nevertheless, Huang Yuan believed that once he had asolid foundation, he would be able to make rapid advancements inthe future, even though he wasn't certain if it was entirely true."Liu Yan raised an eyebrow, finding himself somewhat convinced byHuang Yuan's explanation. After all, ancient martial arts indeedrequired a solid foundation compared to conventional cultivation.In theory, Huang Yuan's approach seemed reasonable. Byestablishing a strong foundation first and then pursuing furtherstrength, he might be able to become even more powerful.Liu Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. He wonderedhow much Huang Yuan's strength would improve once he hadestablished that strong foundation. Such a prospect greatlyintrigued 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 arrowfeathers, 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 qualitativedifference.Furthermore, Bernie Galt's arrow feathers were potent. A single hitwould result in severe injuries to Huang Yuan and a substantialdrop in his combat strength.In other words, Bernie Galt had fired hundreds of arrow feathersthus far, and if just one of them found its mark, the outcome of thebattle would be decided.However, Bernie Galt's luck seemed to be against him.
