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

623 Key to Solving the Situation

The rest of the captains turned to look at Liu Yan.

Everyone knew how powerful the Whirlwind Turtle was.

Although members of Team Origin had gotten stronger over the past few days to the point where some of the 4-star members had risen to 5-star, the Whirlwind Turtle had all achieved 6-star combat strength. They were far stronger than the regular members of Team Origin.

In terms of members, the Whirlwind Turtle had almost as many as Team Origin had.

!!

Naturally, the normal members of Team Origin were no match for the Whirlwind Turtles.

The only aspect that could be considered beneficial to Team Origin was that other than the Whirlwind Turtle King, the elites had all been taken out by Liu Yan and the elites of Team Origin.

Ignoring the Whirlwind Turtle King, only normal Whirlwind Turtles were still standing.

If the two parties clashed, the elites of Team Origin, especially Liu Yan, would have the advantage.

Ye Yifan and the rest clearly understood the combat strength of his party. They were strong enough to make an impact but would not be enough to turn the tide completely.

Other than that, not a single person could perfectly gauge how powerful Liu Yan was.

Ye Yifan and the rest of the elites knew that Liu Yan’s combat strength had reached the terrifying 11-star, but they didn’t know how powerful an 11-star was or how much damage Liu Yan could inflict when fighting a group of Whirlwind Turtles. Moreover, they weren’t sure that Liu Yan alone was enough to give them an overwhelming advantage.

That was why Liu Yan would solely determine the outcome of the battle.

The elites also turned to look at Liu Yan, eagerly waiting for his answer.

Liu Yan looked at the group of elites. He smiled and nodded. “This is just a small problem. If you guys work together and if I give it my all, taking Whirlwind Turtle down would be a walk in the park.”

Liu Yan clearly understood how powerful he was.

Although Whirlwind Turtle was decently stronger than the representative team of the European Federation, Liu Yan had also grown much stronger as time passed.

Liu Yan even dared to estimate that if the elites and a couple of normal members of Team Origin were able to handle half of the members of Whirlwind Turtle, he would be able to take down the other half if he had enough time.

As for the Whirlwind Turtle King, who had reached to 8-star in terms of combat strength, Liu Yan would be able to win the fight instantly if he wished to. The king would not pose a problem to him.

Even the rest of the elites, along with Ye Yifan and Allen Smith, would be able to fight on equal ground with the Whirlwind Turtle King. They may not be able to kill him, but they would still be able to stall him.

Overall, the direct battle between Team Origin and Whirlwind Turtle was something that Liu Yan was confident that he could win.

The elites of Team Origin were slightly surprised by Liu Yan’s answer.

They never expected that Liu Yan’s combat strength had already reached such a monstrous height.

Even when facing a large group of 6-star combat-strength elites, Liu Yan was still confident.

At the same time, everyone felt relieved. After knowing that they could win, they weren’t as tense anymore.

“The problem now is that we have no means to check how the situation is,” Derek Dole couldn’t help but analyze. “Did Whirlwind Turtle set up traps or not? Or were they trying to lure us away from the territory barrier?”

After a moment of pondering, Sun Wen said, “I think there’s a huge chance that they are trying to lure us away from the territory barrier since we’ve been using guerrilla tactics for the past two days around it. They must’ve gotten annoyed and want to move the battle away.”

“If that’s the case, then there’s nothing much to worry about. In the end, we are strong enough to fight them head-on. Whirlwind Turtle doesn’t even know about the variable we have, Liu Yan. So they must be thinking that they will have the upper hand in a head-on battle,” Luo Qingcheng agreed while nodding.

Liu Yan agreed with the statement and said, “I have been stalling the Whirlwind Turtle King for the past few days while taking down the normal members and elites of Whirlwind Turtle. But, I never showed my true strength in front of them and have never actually fought the king yet, to the point that whenever I was taking them down, I forced myself to suppress my power. So, I’m pretty sure that the Whirlwind Turtle King doesn’t know my true strength yet.”

For the past few days, Liu Yan had been paying attention to holding himself back to ensure that the Whirlwind Turtle King would not learn of his real power. That would make it easier for him to take down the entire Whirlwind Turtle in the future.

“Then, what are we waiting for? We should attack them immediately, or they’ll leave before we get to them!” Murong Xue urged.

To most normal members, fighting Whirlwind Turtle will be a challenging task, but to Murong Xue, who had reached 7-star combat strength and had an insanely high defense, she didn’t even need to worry about facing a group of turtles on her own. Naturally, she would not be pressured by it and just think of going into battle immediately so they could kill all the members.

Some were still worried, as there was still a chance that traps were waiting for them.

Fear of the unknown was something most could not completely overcome.

Everyone turned to look at Liu Yan. They waited for his decision.

After a short while, Liu Yan said, “This is not the time to play it safe. Let’s chase after them. If there’s no trap, we’ll wipe out the Whirlwind Turtles right away. However, all of you will have to retreat if there are traps. Luo Wei and I will change our plan to assassinate the Whirlwind Turtle King before we slowly take care of the rest of the group. It’s quite a lot of work, but it’ll be safer.”

After Liu Yan had made his decision, the rest of the team sprang into action.

Team Origin had five captains, each leading a squad of their own. They chased after the Whirlwind Turtles while spreading out like a net.

Although they were moving fast as they chased, they also paid close attention to their formation so that they would not mess it up and were always ready for battle.

Liu Yan, on the other hand, donned the SSS-grade unique equipment, the Wings of Wind God, and dashed forward. He was at the front of the group so that he could check the surroundings.

If the turtles had set up traps, Liu Yan could notify the rest of the team in time for them to stop chasing and potentially retreat.

No matter how many Whirlwind Turtles there were, not a single one of them was able to pose a threat to Liu Yan.

After fighting the turtles for a couple of days, Liu Yan had already gotten a clear picture of just how powerful they were.

The Whirlwind Turtles maintained the sturdy defense that fierce turtle beasts commonly shared. With their unique shells, they could defend themselves from a lot of powerful attacks.

Not only that, but having mastered the wind attribute, the Whirlwind Turtles were extremely fast as well.

However, the turtles lacked offensiveness and could only fight close-range battles.

Although the turtles were strong and could cause insane impact damage due to the wind attribute, that was all they could do.

That was why, in the past few days, Team Origin could still fight the stronger turtles and outnumber them through guerrilla tactics. Some had been injured, but only a handful was seriously wounded. However, they had not suffered any casualties.

In the end, the members could survive because the turtles had limited offensive capabilities.

If they were up against other 6-star fierce beasts with better attacking methods, the team would’ve suffered a lot and lost a lot of members too.

In the end, there was still a huge gap between the 6-star turtles and the 4- or 5-star members.

Because of that, the turtles had a hard time attacking Liu Yan, who was flying in the air.

The ordinary Whirlwind Turtles couldn’t even reach him with their attacks.

Only the Whirlwind Turtle King, who had better mastery over the wind attributes, could leap high enough to fight Liu Yan.

Yet, owing to their huge power difference, Liu Yan had never seen the Whirlwind Turtle King as a threat.

If there wasn’t a need for him to hide his power for the past few days, Liu Yan didn’t even need to evade the king’s attack and could face it head-on. He could even slaughter the king with a single move.

While hovering high up in the sky, Liu Yan studied the turtles’ situation.

After getting further away from the territory barrier, the turtles stopped retreating under their king’s order. Instead, they were standing and waiting for Team Origin to arrive as if they were ready for a last fight.

By enhancing his sight with the SSS-grade Extraordinary Five Senses and combining it with the S-grade perception skill, he scanned his surroundings.

There was nothing special about the terrain. It was a plain field with a stream quite far away. There was no swamp or other unique terrain.

Besides the Whirlwind Turtles, he did not sense any fierce beasts.

It was clear to him that it was the Whirlwind Turtles’ habitat.

If Liu Yan and the others had not coincidentally built the Origin Territory in the Whirlwind Turtles’ habitat on the sixth floor of the tower, almost no other humans or fierce beasts would enter the turtle’s habitat.
