1060 The Great Battle Begins, Huge Strength Gap

In the territory battle space, Team Origin had completed all their preparations. They were only waiting for the countdown to end before initiating the territory battle.

On the opposing side, the half-beast people were still in the midst of preparations.

Their formation was straightforward, almost in a straight line, signifying their intention to charge forward.

The primary focus of their preparation was on the wizards. A group of wizards, led by Grom Blackhand, continually cast spells.

As Grom Blackhand and the other wizards cast their spells, halos illuminated the half-beast people, granting them various enhancements.

Though Liu Yan and the others were nearby, the presence of a barrier prevented them from perceiving the events. At that moment, they remained unaware of the specifics of what was transpiring on the other side.

Derek Dole analyzed the situation, stating, "These should be a variety of buff effects. They include enhancements to movement speed, strength, Qi and blood, and even pain reduction."

Liu Yan nodded slightly, his demeanor becoming more serious.

While Team Origin's strength was more than sufficient to overpower the half-beast people, the presence of these enigmatic wizards and their diverse buffs raised uncertainty about the extent of the enhancement.

Fortunately, Team Origin had previously undergone numerous large-scale battles.

The team members were well-drilled, highly obedient, and displayed earnest dedication. Overall, they encountered few problems.

The wizards led by Grom Blackhand continued to cast spells, bolstering the half-beast people.

Several different lights and buff effects shone on these half-beast people.

With these halos emerging, the half-beast people experienced improvements in various aspects. They patted their chests with excitement, displaying their confidence.

"Haha, these humans on the other side are just standing there foolishly. What a joke!"

"We're waiting for the time to end to deal with them, but they're waiting for death, haha!"

"I don't understand why their captain dares to choose a team battle. He's courting death!"

"Look at how skinny these humans are. I feel like I can kill them with one punch."

"This is a very easy battle!"

Compared to the half-beast people's excitement and relaxation, their leader, Grom Blackhand, had a somewhat serious expression.

Grom Blackhand had a bad feeling.

Initially, the humans on the other side showed extreme fear towards them. However, when it came to choosing the territory battle method, they opted for territory battle.

He claimed it was a wrong choice, but for such an important matter, how could it possibly be a wrong choice?

Most importantly, after making the wrong choice, the opposing party showed no remorse whatsoever.

On the contrary, they appeared extremely composed and somewhat pleased. Even the fear that had been present earlier had completely vanished from their faces.

Grom Blackhand had a feeling that the other side deliberately feigned fear to reassure the half-beast people and allow them to choose a team battle.

And was this elaborate performance solely for the sake of selecting a team battle?

Grom Blackhand couldn't fathom why the other party had gone to such great lengths to put on such a show.

However, there was no way to alter their decision now. The territory battle was about to commence, and time was running out.

All Grom Blackhand could do was apply every single buff to the half-beast people without exception, enabling them to confront the humans on the opposite side with their utmost strength. It seemed there was little else he could do.

With only a minute left, Grom Blackhand promptly exhorted, "Everyone, the battle is about to start. Be serious. The opponents are not to be underestimated."

The half-beast people patted their chests, eagerly awaiting the commencement of the battle, yet they didn't take their leader Grom Blackhand's words too seriously.

Team Origin and the half-beast people's team locked eyes across the territory barrier.

In the last few seconds, a temporary calm prevailed.

This was the last tranquility before the storm!

At this moment, the thoughts on both sides were somewhat akin.

The half-beast people were eager to wait for the territory barrier to dissipate before charging in, tearing through all the humans on the other side.

The members of Team Origin held similar sentiments.

The members of Team Origin also awaited the dissipation of the territory barrier. They planned to engage the half-beast people from a distance through long-range attacks, leaving no room for them to get close.

Even if a few half-beast people managed to draw near, it would only be a small fraction, and they would pose no substantial threat to Team Origin.

After all, Team Origin excelled in long-range attacks compared to the half-beast people.

Nonetheless, in terms of close combat, Team Origin was no pushover either.

The half-beast people, possessing robust physical strength, excelled in close combat. Though the humans on Team Origin might not match the towering half-beast people in terms of size, they were not necessarily inferior in terms of physical strength and close combat abilities!

At this juncture, the voice of the Will of Tower resounded once more.

[The countdown to the territory battle between Team Origin and Team Storm begins!]

[10, 9, 8...]

As the countdown sounded, Team Origin and the half-beast people on the opposite side made their final preparations.

Finally, the countdown concluded, and the territory battle commenced!

The territory barrier that stood between the two sides vanished instantly.

The half-beast people immediately launched a charge toward Team Origin, poised for close combat to shatter Team Origin's formation.

Team Origin had long completed their preparations.

The instant the territory barrier disappeared, Liu Yan activated his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, to gain insight from all directions.

Through his perception, Liu Yan discerned that the half-beast people on the opposing side appeared formidable in demeanor but possessed relatively modest strength.

Ordinary half-beast people boasted merely a 7-star combat strength, while Team Origin's ordinary members had already reached 9-star combat strength, and the majority had achieved 10-star combat strength.

In terms of combat power among the ordinary members, there was simply no comparison. Team Origin's members outperformed these half-beast people by at least two star levels.

A one-star difference in combat strength represented a significant gap. When it came to a two-star difference, the outcome was entirely one-sided.

Nonetheless, Liu Yan also observed that thanks to the martial enhancements cast by Grom Blackhand and the other wizards, the combat strength of these half-beast people had advanced from 7 stars to 8 stars, an improvement of one star in combat strength.

A mere few wizards were capable of raising the combat strength of the entire team by one star.

From the look of it, these wizards were exceptionally potent, and their spells were both enigmatic and formidable.

Unfortunately for them, they had crossed paths with a formidable team like Team Origin. The discrepancy was too vast, and even with their combat strength increased by one star, they were still incapable of prevailing.

If the Storm Team encountered other teams, they would be able to easily help these half-beast people flatten the other party and win by increasing their combat strength by one star.
