Chapter 1009 - 1009 Team Origin's Strength Doubled

1009 Team Origin’s Strength Doubled

Liu Yan observed the expressions of Lu Dajiang and the others, which reflected their surprise. Only then did he understand that the development speed of the Origin Territory seemed to be a little exaggerated.

Before this, Liu Yan had already understood that the Origin Territory’s growth rate was not sluggish. However, he had not anticipated that compared to other territories, the Origin Territory’s development was already significantly accelerated.

Liu Yan felt a wave of relief. It appeared that the Origin Territory possessed a substantial advantage and promising potential.

Upon closer consideration, the adversary the Origin Territory faced was none other than the Lighthouse Territory, an old territory that had been evolving within the Wind Barrier for two and a half years.

Even the Lakon Territory that they were about to face was one of the top 1000 territories on the sixth level of the tower.

The opponents that the Origin Territory faced had always been opponents that were of a higher level, or even opponents that were of a higher level.

It was only when facing an opponent of this level that the Origin Territory would be extremely difficult.

When compared to contemporaneous new territories, the Origin Territory had surged ahead by leaps and bounds. Its development speed was indeed a rare phenomenon.

In response to Liu Qingrou’s surprised inquiry, Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel a hint of pride in his heart. He smiled and replied, “Thankfully, it’s mostly a stroke of good luck, combined with the collective efforts of all the members within the territory to yield these results.”

Liu Qingrou and the others refrained from delving further into questioning, yet their astonishment was palpable.

Their curiosity about the Origin Territory grew even stronger.

“Now, are you upgrading to level-3 territory? I also want to see what the result of upgrading a platinum potential Lord’s token territory to a level-3 territory is!” Lu Dajiang grinned.

While Lu Dajiang had encountered numerous level 3 territories before, he had only heard of territories with platinum potential Lord’s tokens upgrading to level-3. He had yet to witness such an event himself.

Huang Yuan chimed in as well, saying, “Haha, I’m joining too. We can spare some time for this.”

Though time was of the essence for enhancing their strength, it wasn’t a matter of urgency. Huang Yuan also desired to witness the process.

Liu Yan gave a slight nod and proceeded with Lu Dajiang, Huang Yuan, and others to the city wall, preparing to initiate the territory upgrade.

First, Liu Yan examined the most recent information panel of the Origin Territory.

Upon reviewing the latest panel of the Origin Territory, Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel immensely satisfied.

Initially, the Origin Territory’s strength was already commendable, and now with the addition of Lu Dajiang’s and Huang Yuan’s squads, the Territory’s power had undergone a significant surge, even doubling.

First and foremost, the population had experienced a sudden increase, rising from the previous count of fewer than 400 individuals to almost 600.

The augmentation in power was even more substantial.

Through the Territory’s panel, Liu Yan was able to gain a clear understanding of the current strength of all members within Team Origin.

Naturally, Liu Yan himself was the strongest, boasting a commanding 19-star combat strength, which was a clear lead.

Although none of the newly added members, including Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan’s squads, had reached Liu Yan’s level, the disparity had considerably lessened.

Beneath Liu Yan’s level, there were experts with 16-star combat strength, which included only two individuals, Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan.

Experts with a combat strength of 15 stars were relatively scarce, numbering only eight individuals. These were the experts from Lu Dajiang’s and Huang Yuan’s squads.

As for the original experts within the Origin Territory, led by Alan Smith, the highest combat strength they had achieved was 14-star combat strength.

Members with combat strengths of 13, 12, and 11 stars, and especially those with 10 stars, were more numerous.

This section primarily encompasses the original experts of the Origin Territory, as well as the ordinary members of the two newly joined squads, Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan.

The combat strength of the ordinary members in the two newly joined squads mostly ranges between 10 and 11 stars.

Moreover, Liu Yan also made an unexpected discovery that although both Lu Dajiang’s and Huang Yuan’s squads were formidable, Huang Yuan’s squad exhibited slightly stronger overall strength.

Within Lu Dajiang’s squad, the ordinary members mostly had combat strengths of 10 and 11 stars.

However, in Huang Yuan’s squad, many of the ordinary members had already achieved a combat strength of 12 stars, demonstrating a significant lead.

Beyond this, the majority of Team Origin’s ordinary members maintained a combat strength of 9 stars.

While there existed a substantial difference, the ordinary members of Team Origin had notably progressed. This was particularly noteworthy given that before the significant battles, most of them had only had an 8-star combat strength.

Despite being relatively weaker in combat strength, the ordinary members of Team Origin had progressed at an impressive pace.

Liu Yan also believed that following the multiple battles with Team Lighthouse in the Hallucinatory Forest, the ordinary members of Team Origin would gain valuable experience. Through continued cultivation and understanding, coupled with available resources, they were poised to significantly enhance their strength in the foreseeable future.

Lastly, there were the least experienced members within Team Origin, comprising 66 individuals with an 8-star combat strength.

Liu Yan didn’t hold excessive concerns for these members. Considering that many of them primarily fulfilled healing and support roles rather than being core combatants, it was natural for their combat strength to lag. As long as they could keep pace without falling too far behind, it wouldn’t pose significant issues.

Subsequently, Liu Yan reviewed the conditions and materials necessary for upgrading to a Level 3 territory.

[Level-3 Territory]

[Upgrade requirements: All buildings must reach the maximum level, Lord’s strength must be at least 12 stars, there must be at least 50 members with 10-star combat strength, and the territory’s population must reach 400]

[Upgrade materials: 100 cubic meters of origin wood (B-grade and above), 100 origin stones (B-grade and above), 100 wind crystal stones (B-grade and above), 100 cubic meters of refined iron (B-grade and above)]

The Origin Territory had essentially met the requirements and gathered the necessary materials for upgrading to level-3. The only condition left to fulfill was the territory’s population reaching 400.

With the inclusion of Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan’s squads, this condition had now been satisfied.

The population of the Origin Territory had reached a full 400 and was even approaching 600.

At this moment, Chu Long retrieved all the prepared materials from her storage ring and piled them in front of Liu Yan.

Everything was in place. Liu Yan produced the platinum Lord’s token of the Origin Territory and opted to initiate the upgrade to level-3.

“Upgrade to level-3 territory!”

As soon as Liu Yan’s words faded, the platinum Lord’s token radiated a brilliant platinum-golden light, descending onto the array of materials prepared before Liu Yan.

In an instant, the stack of materials vanished, and the platinum Lord’s token emitted a radiant glow, enveloping the entire Origin Territory!

Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief at this sight.

Luckily, the territory’s barrier was in place, completely shielding the unusual occurrence from outside detection. If there had been no territory barrier, the phenomenon caused by the upgrade might have been noticed by the Lakonian rushing to the Lighthouse Territory. In such a scenario, the exposure of the Origin Territory would lead to dire consequences.

This experience served as a wake-up call for Liu Yan. In the absence of the territory barrier, future upgrades would require careful timing to prevent attracting undue attention from outsiders and mitigate potential risks.
