Chapter 1052 - 1052 Time Flies

1052 Time Flies

This was the advantage of having such great talent, the ability to outshine all efforts!

The talent of the special red enchanted puppet was already quite good, even excellent. Through its diligent efforts, its strength has been increasing at an extremely rapid pace.

However, there was no denying the fact that the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf was simply extraordinary, leading to this remarkable turn of events!

The final fierce beast, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf, finally emerged from the essence pool, concluding its enhancement of essence. Moreover, it had gained the most significant improvements and reaped the most benefits.

At this moment, Liu Yan finally felt at ease.

With this, all the members of Team Origin, the territory war beasts, and Liu Yan’s pets had completed their essence enhancements.

While there were still some team members whose pets had not entered the essence pool, most of their pets had relatively ordinary strengths, making it less critical. They could always allow them to enter the essence pool when there was some free time available.

Subsequently, Liu Yan directly utilized the Lord’s token of the Origin Territory to close the essence pool.

According to the essence pool’s instructions, closing it allowed the pool to replenish its energy, potentially aiding team members in enhancing their essence in the future.

After shutting down the essence pool, Liu Yan stowed away the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf and the red special enchanted puppet before departing.

As Liu Yan left the vicinity of the essence pool, he noticed Wang Long and his group in the distance, scouting and observing the situation.

Liu Yan had already been aware of this. Previously, he had used his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, to detect that Wang Long and his companions had not departed the area. Instead, they had concealed themselves at a distance, keeping a close eye on the proceedings.

Wang Long and the others had witnessed the significant improvements the members of Team Origin had gained after entering the essence pool, and they now harbored desires to find a way to enter it as well.

Unable to gain direct permission to enter the essence pool, they had considered a clandestine entry when the opportunity presented itself.

Thinking that Liu Yan hadn’t noticed them, Wang Long and his group quietly approached the essence pool to enter.

However, upon their proximity to the essence pool, Wang Long and his companions were utterly astonished.

The previously brimming essence pool, filled with unique water vapor that brought comfort to anyone approaching it, had now become entirely desiccated, revealing its empty pool bottom.

Within the essence pool, there was nothing left, not a trace of the special water vapor!

“What the heck is going on?”

“Could the essence pool have been completely depleted?”

“That’s impossible. Such a precious structure wouldn’t be exhausted so easily. It must have been closed by Liu Yan!”

“D*mn it! Everyone, even Liu Yan’s pets, has entered the essence pool before. Now that they don’t need it and it’s free, why won’t they let us use it?”

“He even closed it directly. He’s guarding against us. It’s simply despicable!”

“We’ll have to wait for the next opportunity!”

What Wang Long and his group didn’t know was that Liu Yan was already far away from them.

However, Liu Yan possessed an SS-grade Extraordinary Five Senses, which provided a substantial boost to his hearing. Consequently, Liu Yan could effortlessly hear Wang Long and the others’ conversation.

Listening to the discussion among Wang Long and his companions, Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel that they were being opportunistic.

Wang Long and his group weren’t originally part of the Origin Territory, and Liu Yan had already extended them a measure of hospitality by accommodating them.

However, these individuals continued to display a certain degree of opportunism, which Liu Yan found rather excessive.

Particularly when considering the risk they posed by potentially revealing the location of the Origin Territory and attracting trouble to the Lakon Territory, Liu Yan felt a stronger inclination to deal with them.

Liu Yan had contemplated taking action against them when they initially declined to join the Origin Territory. However, his respect for Lu Dajiang held him back.

After all, these individuals had once been Lu Dajiang’s subordinates, and they had spent a considerable amount of time under his leadership, fostering some level of attachment. Consequently, it didn’t seem appropriate for Liu Yan to confront them directly at this juncture.

Nevertheless, given Wang Long and the others’ duplicity, Liu Yan would not hold back.

Following the conclusion of the initial territory war, Liu Yan would seize the opportunity to address the issue and deal decisively with Wang Long and his companions.

Subsequently, Liu Yan visited the members of Team Origin.

At this moment, all the members of Team Origin, whether they were regular members or experts, were diligently engaged in their cultivation efforts.

After the enhancement from the essence pool, both their essence and talents improved significantly.

Now, during their cultivation, they found it much easier, and their cultivation speed had increased substantially.

Especially after the previous battle, they had access to a large quantity of high-level cultivation resources.

At this moment, the members of Team Origin were improving at a rate several times faster than before.

Liu Yan was relieved to see that all his team members were diligently engaged in their cultivation.

Upon Liu Yan’s arrival, Luo Qingcheng, Sun Wen, and the others approached him.

“The territory barrier will disappear tomorrow morning, so we need to be prepared.”

“And starting tomorrow, we’ll have random territory battles. We should discuss our strategy.”

Liu Yan nodded slightly but remained calm. He reassured them, saying, “There’s no need to rush, everyone. The first territory battle tomorrow shouldn’t pose a significant challenge to our strength. We can handle it normally. As for vigilance after the territory barrier disappears, there isn’t much risk in our immediate vicinity. We’ll have time to make arrangements. For now, focus on improving your strength and make the most of this precious time.”

Hearing Liu Yan’s words, the team members found his advice reasonable.

“That’s right, our first territory battle should be manageable.”

“Since we entered the Wind Barrier, our teams have improved rapidly. Our strength should be more than sufficient.”

“If things get tough, we still have Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan’s teams to help us out. We can easily overcome any challenges.”

“Captain is right. We’ll make arrangements when the time comes. For now, let’s concentrate on improving our strength.”

Liu Yan nodded once more and said, “Spread the word to your teams. Tell them not to worry and to focus on their training. Later tonight, rest well and prepare for tomorrow’s battle. Also, focus on your own cultivation and improvement.”

The core members of Team Origin nodded and relayed Liu Yan’s instructions to their respective teams.

Liu Yan returned to his wooden house and settled in for some quiet rest.

As he gazed out of the window into the darkened sky, Liu Yan couldn’t help but contemplate the situation.

The Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower was filled with turbulent wind attribute elemental power, rendering the sky completely obscured from view.

With everything appearing pitch black at a glance, nothing could be discerned.

Liu Yan was fully aware that once the territory barrier of the Origin Territory disappeared, the surroundings would no longer remain tranquil. Instead, they would be constantly filled with noise.

After all, the relentless onslaught of wind attribute elemental power created a perpetual uproar, and the noise would be far from subtle.
