Chapter 1149 Huge Upgrade

Hans Wilson excelled in water attribute elemental spells and was similarly skilled in group battles. Compared to Xu Han, his strength was even lower, so he naturally couldn't participate in the territory battles.

He Yang and Jin Cheng exchanged glances. They both wished to participate in the territory battles to train themselves.

However, there was still a certain gap between their strength and the other experts, so they wouldn't have the opportunity to represent the Origin Territory in the battles.

Sun Wen smiled and said, "As your strength increases, you'll have the chance to participate in the territory battles. Don't overthink it. After all, these battles represent the interests of our entire Origin Territory. We need the strongest participants to maximize our chances of winning."

"Yes," Derek Dole agreed. "Moreover, if your strength isn't sufficient for the territory battles, it will be even more dangerous. The captain is looking out for your well-being."

Luo Wei nodded in agreement. "Indeed. If you didn't participate in the battles this time, you wouldn't understand how perilous it was. Some of us almost lost our lives there. A single mistake could have been fatal."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yifan's expression turned serious. "Indeed. Look at Allen Smith's strength. Despite being strong, he returned with serious injuries this time. It shows how dangerous it was."

"I'm fine," Murong Xue said casually. "There's no danger!"

The others were speechless at her remark.

Murong Xue was now very strong, and her defensive abilities were particularly impressive. For her, there was hardly any danger. At worst, she would concede defeat and leave. It was unlikely that her life would be at risk.

However, this was only true for Murong Xue.

For the other experts in the Origin Territory, the situation was different.

Chu Long laughed. "Sister Murong Xue, you're a classic example of someone who talks without experiencing the consequences!"

"That's right!" Luo Qingcheng agreed.

"Haha!" Zheng Tainan exclaimed excitedly. "It looks like you guys have increased your combat strength by two stars! But I've increased mine by three stars all at once. I'm more powerful than you guys, hahaha!"

Shi Hao responded calmly, "Increasing strength by a lot doesn't necessarily mean you're weak."

"Um." Zheng Tainan faltered. Upon careful consideration, Shi Hao's statement made sense.

Since he had increased his combat strength by three stars, he was the only one among the core members of Team Origin to do so. Did that mean he was the weakest?

Caught in an awkward moment, Zheng Tainan stood still.

Seeing this, Lu Dajiang and the others couldn't help but laugh.

The core members of Team Origin continued to chat casually.

This was also a rare moment of leisure for the various experts of Team Origin since entering the Wind Barrier of the sixth level of the tower.

At that moment, Liu Yan approached.

Seeing Liu Yan's arrival, the core members of Team Origin became more serious.

They held Liu Yan in utmost respect.

Even Lu Dajiang and the others, who had recently joined the Origin Territory, were seniors to Liu Yan.

However, after joining the Origin Territory and spending some time with Liu Yan, they truly experienced Liu Yan's terror. Not only was he powerful, but his leadership skills were also extremely formidable.

With such a captain in the Origin Territory, it was inevitable that the territory would rapidly grow and become a formidable force.

As a result, Lu Dajiang and the others naturally held Liu Yan in great admiration.

Even Ning Shanshan, who used to joke around with Liu Yan and enjoyed teasing him, became much more serious when interacting with him now.

Liu Yan naturally found a seat and sat down without any pretense.

After seating himself, Liu Yan glanced around and noticed that everyone was looking at him with a serious expression. Liu Yan couldn't help but smile. "There's no need to be so formal. When we're discussing important matters, I'm your captain. Otherwise, we're just friends."

Upon hearing Liu Yan's words, everyone relaxed and began chatting with him.

"Captain, we were just talking. We've all made significant improvements this time."

"Yeah, this territory battle was really dangerous. You mentioned that the giant lion race's strength was average. I didn't expect it to be so perilous for us."

"If I had made even a slight mistake, I might have lost my life."

"This territory battle was treacherous!"

Liu Yan chatted with everyone while roasting fierce beast meat. It was a rare moment of relaxation.

After a while, Luo Qingcheng arrived late and hurried over.

Seeing Luo Qingcheng's arrival, the smiles on everyone's faces faded slightly, replaced by a more serious demeanor.

Liu Yan also turned to Luo Qingcheng. "How is it? Have you completed the calculations?"

"Yes, everything's been calculated," Luo Qingcheng replied.

"Then please report," Liu Yan instructed calmly.

The core members of Team Origin also focused their attention on Luo Qingcheng.

During this period, due to consecutive territory battles, the strength of all members of the Origin Territory had significantly increased. This fact was well known to everyone in the Origin Territory.

However, the exact extent of this increase was unknown. The level of strength the entire Origin Territory had reached was a matter of great curiosity.

Luo Qingcheng wore a joyful expression on her face, indicating that she was in a good mood after the calculations, and she promptly reported.

"Firstly, regarding the ordinary members of the five original squads in our Origin Territory, their combat strength ranged from 9 to 11 stars. As for the sixth and seventh squads that joined later, their combat strength ranged from 11 to 12 stars. During this period, the generous rewards from the consecutive territory battles have significantly boosted the strength of our ordinary members. Most have seen an increase of more than three stars in combat strength, with some even gaining a whopping five-star increase. However, it's worth noting that these are auxiliary members, so their combat effectiveness post-increase remains relatively average. Currently, the ordinary members of the first five squads have a combat strength ranging from 12 to 14 stars. The sixth and seventh squads are slightly stronger, with combat strengths ranging from 14 to 15 stars."

Upon hearing Luo Qingcheng's report, Liu Yan's expression subtly changed.

While he had anticipated a substantial overall increase in the Origin Territory's strength, the magnitude of the increase was beyond his expectations.

The fact that the combat strength of all ordinary members across the seven squads had increased by more than three stars signified a significant enhancement.

A three-star increase in combat strength for any team member was already considerable.

Now, with such widespread improvements, the overall strength of the Origin Territory had doubled, marking a terrifying and instantaneous surge in its overall strength!
