"This Zhou Yan's power is immense. With just one spear, he annihilated hundreds of lizardmen alone."
"I feel his strength is already comparable to an S-grade hero."
"Among all these students, only he and Ye Bufan possess such power."
"It's truly embarrassing. We are older than them, yet the gap in strength is this vast."
...
After dispatching the lizardmen, Zhou Yan ventured further into the unknown mist. His movements were agile and his speed rapid, like a leopard darting through the jungle.
Many were astonished, not only by Zhou Yan's formidable strength but also by his excellent agility.
They were curious about the exact level of his agility and strength attributes.
The jungle was fraught with danger and teeming with monsters. However, Zhou Yan's immense power meant that even when encountering other creatures, they were swiftly dealt with, none able to block his path.
They were unsure what Zhou Yan was searching for. Logically, if he were looking for a suitable place to summon his territory, he would have found several by now.
Yet, Zhou Yan didn't seem to be seeking a location to summon his territory, leaving everyone wondering what he was actually investigating.
"Is he not planning to summon his territory?"
"What exactly is he trying to do?"
"If not for his strength, he would have perished by the monsters' hands by now."
"What is he doing, searching aimlessly in the mist?"
No one knew Zhou Yan's true intentions until he discovered a territory.
Zhou Yan stopped.
Upon seeing this territory, he grinned, "Finally found it."
Following this, Zhou Yan directly summoned his territory, placing it right beside the adjacent lord's territory.
He appeared within his own domain, where all his soldiers were already assembled, awaiting his command.
Seeing Zhou Yan, Diao Chan and the others promptly approached and reported, "Lord, all soldiers have been assembled."
"No rush. Let the defense towers take down a territory first."
Zhou Yan activated the attack mode of his defense towers, targeting the neighboring territory.
The defense towers quickly responded, locking onto the adjacent territory and commencing their assault.
Witnessing Zhou Yan summon his territory adjacent to another lord's, they finally understood his objective. Zhou Yan intended to secure an early victory, catching his opponent completely off guard.
This tactic truly surprised them, allowing him to achieve the unexpected.
However, it remained uncertain who would ultimately prevail.
Everything hinged on the respective strengths of both parties.
Yet, when they observed the size of Zhou Yan's territory, they were greatly astonished, for it was remarkably vast.
But their attention was soon captivated by the attacks emanating from Zhou Yan's territory.
Everyone watched as bursts of flames erupted from Zhou Yan's territory, soaring towards the adjacent one.
They recognized this as an elemental tower, possessing formidable offensive capabilities.
Moreover, the intensity of these flames suggested it was no ordinary attack, likely originating from a high-quality defense tower.
Such defense towers were rare, and Zhou Yan's acquisition of one indicated considerable prowess.
If only it ended there.
But!
This was merely the beginning.
Subsequently, a meteorite descended from the heavens, striking the neighboring territory once more.
This, too, was a magical tower, capable of summoning meteors to attack. Such defense towers were exceedingly rare, and many students were witnessing them for the first time, reacting with awe.
Yet, they soon observed a blast of ice launching an assault on the territory, leaving them utterly speechless. Where on earth did Zhou Yan obtain so many elemental towers?
But this was far from over.
Zhou Yan's territory unleashed a torrent of storm energy, followed by the flight of sword-like projectiles and puffs of smoke.
They saw the sky obscured by a barrage of attacks from various defense towers.
They were left speechless.
Their expressions were blank: Σ(っ°Д°;)っΣ(ﾟдﾟlll)(((ﾟДﾟ)))w(°o°)w
They longed to ask: Just how many defense towers does this guy have?
Has his entire territory been converted into defense towers?
Where did all these elemental towers come from?
Why are they all elemental towers? Not a single ordinary defense tower is visible. How was this achieved?
How are other students supposed to defend against this?
Isn't this just bullying?
As this wave of attacks descended upon the unfortunate lord's territory, they witnessed explosions erupting into the sky. The entire territory was instantly razed to the ground.
A beam of light appeared, and a lord stood outside his territory, utterly bewildered. He looked around in shock, then hesitantly asked, "Can someone please tell me how I was eliminated?"
He was dumbfounded. He was still in the barracks planning his combat strategy, only to be eliminated without understanding what had happened.
How was he eliminated so suddenly?
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent: _8(:з」∠)__(°w°｣∠)_u•w•u(。･`w´･)
Poor fellow, he didn't even know how he was destroyed.
One could only attribute it to his bad luck, encountering the unconventional Zhou Yan.
Who could have predicted that Zhou Yan would choose to appear next to another lord at the outset of the competition?
No one could have foreseen this. Caught completely off guard, he was annihilated in such a muddled manner.
When this unfortunate soul learned that he was eliminated by Zhou Yan, his mood improved slightly, considering Zhou Yan was the second-place finisher in the individual combat.
After witnessing the process of Zhou Yan destroying his territory, and seeing the powerful elemental attacks, he was once again stunned.
His mouth hung agape, filled with disbelief! ヾ(｡ꏿ﹏ꏿ)ﾉﾞ
What kind of attacks were these? The entire sky was covered by various assaults!
Is this guy truly just a new lord?
I'm just a small lord, do I warrant such a massive display?
"My defeat was not in vain!" The new lord, though disheartened, accepted the reality.
"My friend, you are the first to be eliminated," a kind upperclassman informed him.
The new lord: "I... *cough*...." (´థ౪థ)σ
Although they were eager to see how Zhou Yan had constructed his territory, they were unable to.
Regardless of whose territory it was, outsiders could not see it. They could only estimate the level of Zhou Yan's territory based on its visible range.
"Have you noticed how large Zhou Yan's territory is?"
"It's indeed vast. Such a large territory, and he's just a new lord? I truly suspect this territory has been developed for ten years!"
"What level is this territory? With such a large area and so many defense towers, who could possibly defeat him?"
"Aren't you curious about the large river outside his territory? I almost thought his territory was built in the center of a lake. If someone were to attack him, wouldn't they need to travel by boat? But at this stage, I doubt any lord possesses a boat."
"They could also fly over."
"Give it a rest. Where would anyone have flying mounts at this stage?"
"This guy is invincible. With such a wide river, there's only one bridge for passage. How can anyone possibly attack him!"
