Rapidly Evolving Origin Territory

In the Origin Territory, on an empty patch of land.

Under the shroud of night, the novice protection period of the Origin Territory had ended, and there was no longer the protection of the territory barrier.

At this moment, deep in the night, the distant echoes of fierce beasts and alien races could be heard intermittently, adding to the profound ambiance.

The Wind Barrier on the sixth level of the tower was teeming with various races and dangers, its depths unfathomable.

Beside the bonfire, Liu Yan and the other core members of Team Origin were dining on roasted fierce beast's meat, while listening to Luo Qingcheng's report on the recent enhancements in the strength of all Origin Territory members.

Upon learning that all ordinary members of the Origin Territory had increased their combat strength by at least three stars, all the core members present were somewhat surprised.

Although this had been anticipated to some extent, the consecutive territory battles had yielded abundant rewards. Furthermore, with the relatively low strength of the ordinary members, these substantial rewards were expected to lead to swift improvements in their capabilities.

However, the sudden increase of three stars in combat strength exceeded everyone's expectations.

It typically took considerable time to raise the combat strength of all ordinary members of the territory by one level.

Increasing by one-star level required even more effort and risk-taking, often spanning years.

Yet now, all the members of the Origin Territory had gained three stars in combat strength in just a few days.

This outcome undoubtedly brought joy to everyone present.

The rapid increase in the overall strength of the Origin Territory was also beneficial for all.

Only when the overall strength of the Origin Territory grew could everyone venture further and survive longer in this perilous sixth-level Wind Barrier.

"I didn't expect such a significant increase in just a few days," Xu Han remarked, sighing. "The overall strength of our Origin Territory has increased substantially."

"Indeed," Ye Yifan concurred. "An entire three stars in combat strength. I never imagined the rewards from these territory battles would be so abundant." Hans Wilson chuckled, "Haha, these territory battles are incredible. Let's continue with a few more battles to further boost our territory's strength."

He Yang shook his head slightly. "We have exhausted all the Territory Battle Tokens. We won't be able to continue the territory battles until we acquire more tokens."

Jin Cheng lamented, "Yes, it's a shame. If only we had more Territory Battle Tokens."

Chu Long said, "If we engage in several more territory battles, won't the strength of our Origin Territory be able to catch up to the Lakon Territory?"

Chu Long's words brightened everyone's eyes.

After all, until now, there has still been a huge mountain blocking the way of the Origin Territory, and that is the terrifying Lakon Territory.

While the strength of the Origin Territory was already formidable, ranking among the top of the new territories, the recent series of territory battles had greatly enhanced its power.

However, when confronted with the formidable Lakon Territory, it was evident that the Origin Territory was still no match for them.

If they could continue with a few more territory battles and allow the Origin Territory's strength to surpass that of the Lakon Territory, then the burden weighing on everyone's hearts would disappear.

"Can we make our territory stronger than Lakon Territory through territory battles?" Murong Xue asked with some anticipation. "Where can we get a Territory Battle Token?"

Many of the core members of Team Origin were looking forward to it.

However, Huang Yuan, Lu Dajiang, and the others remained relatively calm.

Huang Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "Things aren't as simple as you think. In these few battles, the reason why our ordinary members of the Origin Territory were able to increase their strength so much is mainly because our ordinary members are weaker, while our experts are stronger. As a result, the rewards obtained fell on these ordinary members, allowing them to increase their strength so much in an instant."

"Yes." Wei Feng nodded and explained, "In fact, I've already anticipated such a scenario. The main reason is that the strength of the ordinary members of our Origin Territory differs from that of the experts. Such a mismatched strength situation led to this outcome. After our experts won the territory battles, they received good rewards. Although it was beneficial for us experts, the increase was relatively limited. However, when it fell on the ordinary members, it resulted in an extremely significant increase."

Lu Dajiang nodded in agreement. "To put it bluntly, this is because the strength of our experts has surpassed that of your peers by too much. This is the bonus. But now, the rewards for the ordinary team members are limited."

Derek Dole expressed some disappointment. "Does this mean that even if we do have a Territory Battle Token, we won't be able to quickly increase the strength of our ordinary members through the Territory Battle?"

"Yes." Ning Shanshan nodded slightly. "Although territory battles can accelerate the rate of improvement, it would not be as rapid as this time under normal circumstances. Moreover, territory battles also entail risks. The benefits and risks coexist."

Liu Qingrou remarked, "All in all, it's not realistic to continue to increase strength quickly through Territory Battles. We need to find another way."

Their words seemed to dampen the spirits of everyone else. The notion of relying on territory battles to rapidly enhance the strength of the territory was promptly dispelled. Sun Wen sighed. "That's true. If you want to increase your strength, there are no shortcuts. You can only rely on yourself."

Luo Wei added, "Yeah. This time, it's mainly the ordinary team members whose strength has increased excessively. The experts' strength has only increased slightly." Shi Hao nodded. "Although my strength has increased by quite a bit, it's still incomparable to those ordinary team members. I only managed to raise my combat strength from fourteen to fifteen stars. That's an increase of one star."

"How is the increase in strength of the experts?" Liu Yan also looked at Luo Qingcheng and asked.

Luo Qingcheng nodded and continued to report, "As for the experts, the increase in strength is limited. Those who didn't participate in the territory battles only increased their combat strength by one star. There are even some exceptions. Xu Han is stronger, but he didn't participate in the territory battles, so his combat strength didn't even increase by one star. He only increased his combat strength from the early stage of 15 stars to the late stage of 15 stars."

Xu Han felt awkward and helpless.

Among the experts, his strength was already quite strong, and he was completely qualified to participate in the territory battle.

However, Xu Han was good at large-scale spells and group battles, but he wasn't proficient in one-on-one battles, so he didn't participate in the territory battles.

The rewards that could help normal team members improve quickly were limited for Xu Han. Plus, he couldn't participate in the territory battles, so he could only obtain a lot of personal rewards.

This also caused Xu Han's strength to not reach one-star level, which was rare in the entire Origin Territory.

The rest of Team Origin looked at Xu Han with a weird expression.

"Cough, cough," Ye Yifan patted Xu Han's shoulder. "You're unlucky."

Everyone understood that it wasn't Xu Han's fault. He was just unlucky.

Luo Qingcheng continued to report, "Most of the experts' strength increase is indeed quite ordinary. Only the experts who participated in the territory battles had their strength increase a little more."

"Yes." Ye Yifan nodded. "I've increased my combat strength by two stars. I've gained quite a lot."

"Yes, I've also increased my combat strength by two stars," Luo Wei said.

"I've only increased my combat strength by one star," Murong Xue replied. "However, I've received some individual rewards. My actual combat strength has increased quite a bit."

Hearing this, Liu Yan nodded slightly. He had a general understanding of the situation.
