Global Towers: Starting With The SSS-Rank Talent, God-Tier Extraction Novel - Chapter 1108

1108 Defensive Battle
Ding Sheng also had his confidence.

Among those of the same level of combat strength, he found it challenging to encounter a match.

Moreover, Ding Sheng was already in the late stage of 19-star combat strength, approaching 20-star combat strength.

Therefore, even when facing an expert with 19-star combat strength, Ding Sheng was confident of securing victory in this battle.

Ding Sheng shook his head slightly, sensing that his opponent was somewhat foolish.

Despite both having 19-star combat strength, the opponent was overly confident, opting for a confrontation. His strength was commendable, and he had the opportunity to admit defeat and leave safely.

Engaging in the current battle would make him challenging to exit the battlefield unscathed. Even if he didn’t perish here, he would likely sustain significant injuries.

“Alright, today I haven’t had a proper fight. Previous opponents kept running away faster than the last. Let’s have a good battle this time!” Ding Sheng exclaimed with anticipation and charged at Liu Yan once again.

Observing this, Liu Yan remained fearless and continued the confrontation with Ding Sheng.

Throughout the exchange of blows, Liu Yan deliberately suppressed his strength.

Despite being gradually overpowered by Ding Sheng and losing the edge, Liu Yan persisted in holding back his full strength.

Liu Yan could have easily dispatched Ding Sheng with his unleashed power, but to attract further attention from Lakon’s experts, he had to navigate the battle in this manner.

Fortuitously, Liu Yan’s formidable strength allowed him to endure the prolonged fight with Ding Sheng, requiring substantial stamina and energy. Nevertheless, Liu Yan faced it confidently, knowing his power was more than sufficient.

Witnessing this on the battlefield, Lu Dajiang and the others were taken aback.

They were well aware of Liu Yan’s true might, which was truly formidable.

Although Ding Sheng was powerful, the disparity between him and Liu Yan was significant.

Initially, they assumed that Liu Yan would effortlessly overpower Ding Sheng. However, as the battle unfolded, Liu Yan not only failed to dispatch Ding Sheng easily but also found himself at a slight disadvantage.

“What’s happening?” Lu Dajiang queried in confusion. “The captain’s strength is more than enough to deal with Ding Sheng.”

Ning Shanshan added, “I also sense something is amiss. Based on logic, Liu Yan’s strength should easily overcome the opposition.”

“I feel the captain is deliberately restraining his strength,” Liu Qingrou remarked.

Wei Feng chimed in, “That’s likely the case. Look, the captain hasn’t employed any additional skills. It seems he’s been concealing his true strength.”

Murong Xue expressed bewilderment. “Wouldn’t that consume a considerable amount of stamina and energy?”

Huang Yuan suggested, “It’s probably part of his strategy. Perhaps he aims to attract more experts from Lakon.”

Allen Smith said, “That’s the only explanation. As for the consumption of stamina and energy, perhaps the captain is fearless and thinks that he can easily deal with the subsequent battles even if he consumes them.”

Ye Yifan chimed in, “The captain is cunning. There’s going to be a good show to watch. Who knows, Lakon Territory might lose several experts this time!”

While the members of Team Origin were surprised by Liu Yan’s performance, the experts from Lakon were equally astonished by his display.

The only difference was that Team Origin was surprised by Liu Yan’s seemingly modest strength, and the Lakon experts were shocked that Liu Yan was powerful enough to engage Ding Sheng head-on.

“What’s happening? The last person on the other side seems to be quite powerful.”

“With the barrier, we can’t sense his actual strength, but judging from his battle with Ding Sheng, he should be the same as Ding Sheng, with 19-star combat strength. The two of them are opponents of the same level.”

“The person opposite is very unfamiliar. He should be a rookie. How can he be so strong?”

“A rookie with 19-star combat strength? Really? This is too exaggerated!”

“Fortunately, Ding Sheng’s strength seems to be above his. He should be able to heavily injure him but killing him is not realistic.”

“Ding Sheng is so lucky. He defeated ten contestants from the other territory alone and received much more rewards than us.”

At the same time, the battle on the stage continued intensely.

The combat strength that Liu Yan displayed was 19-star combat strength, only slightly weaker than Ding Sheng.

Ding Sheng had been suppressing Liu Yan’s attacks, aiming to heavily injure or even finish him off.
But even though Ding Sheng’s strength surpassed Liu Yan’s, they were still on the same level.

If Ding Sheng wanted to finish off Liu Yan, it was truly impossible to do so in a short period.

What made Ding Sheng feel especially aggrieved was that every time he was about to achieve a good attack effect, the other party seemed to have sensed it in advance and dodged it extremely coincidentally.

This made Ding Sheng feel that the other party’s luck was too good!

However, Ding Sheng was not in a hurry. Although he had already fought nine small battles in a row the previous nine opponents had all chosen to admit defeat the moment the battle began.

Therefore, in reality, Ding Sheng had not consumed much, and his condition was still very good. He could continue fighting for a long time.

Ding Sheng looked at Liu Yan on the opposite side, clearly in a disadvantaged position but persistently defending without any signs of admitting defeat or running away. This made Ding Sheng feel somewhat disrespected.

“You’re already on par with me, yet you still want to continue the fight? Who do you think you’re looking down on?”

“If you’ve got the guts, don’t surrender. Let’s fight to the end!”

Ding Sheng couldn’t help but shout at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan, who had been ignoring Ding Sheng, finally spoke up, “Alright, we’ll fight to the death. No one should admit defeat. Let’s see who can stand until the end!”

Hearing this, Ding Sheng’s face reddened, feeling even more belittled by Liu Yan.

Being underestimated by such an opponent, Ding Sheng suddenly felt a great sense of humiliation.

“Bring it on!” Ding Sheng got even more fired up and continued launching a thunderous assault.

However, Liu Yan remained calm, still passively defending.

Although Liu Yan had been consistently under Ding Sheng’s pressure and at a disadvantage, his continuous defensive stance meant Ding Sheng’s attacks had limited effectiveness.

On the contrary, after an intense battle, Ding Sheng was showing signs of fatigue.

In contrast, Liu Yan’s condition remained excellent, suggesting he could continue fighting for an extended period.

Observing this, several Lakon experts below the stage expressed concern.

“Something’s not right. The situation seems off.”

“Even though the person on the opposite side is not Ding Sheng’s equal, he’s been on the defensive. On the other hand, Ding Sheng seems a bit desperate, continuously launching full-

scale attacks.”

“Yes, the opponent seems to be in good shape, with no visible injuries. Meanwhile, Ding Sheng has been going all out, consuming a considerable amount of stamina and energy.”

“This is bad. If the battle continues like this, Ding Sheng might end up being counter-killed!”

“What’s wrong with Ding Sheng? Why is he so fired up?”

“At this moment, the most sensible choice is to admit defeat and let us deal with the last member of Team Origin.”

“Exactly, we still have nine people, and the opponent is the last one standing. If Ding Sheng admits defeat now and steps aside, we can easily secure victory!”

“Ding Sheng is too headstrong. He’s completely disregarding the situation. He wouldn’t admit defeat.”

“Not good, the situation is very unfavorable!”
