Opportunity and Danger Co-exist

When Xu Han, Derek Dole, He Yang, Jin Cheng, and the others heard Murong Xue’s question, they all turned to look at Liu Yan and the others curiously.

They were also curious. How much had Liu Yan and the others’ strength increased?

To be able to let such a top expert gain such an increase in strength must be good, right?

Liu Yan, Xu Han, and the others looked at each other and smiled.

!!

Since they were all core members of Team Origin, they were all trustworthy people. There was no need to hide their strength.

“Just say it,” Liu Yan said directly.

After getting Liu Yan’s permission, Xu Han’s face lit up. He said, “I’ve gained quite a lot from this trip. I’ve leveled up a few times, and my battle prowess has also increased from 8-star to 9-star!”

Sun Wen and the others were shocked by Xu Han’s words.

It was difficult to increase one’s combat strength by one star.

At this level, it was difficult to raise one’s combat strength by one level. Even geniuses like them would need to work hard for months to raise their combat strength by one level under normal circumstances.

Even though the speed of their strength improvement in the Wind Barrier was much faster, it would still take about a month.

The combat strength of one combat star level was equivalent to ten levels of combat strength.

Xu Han’s combat strength had risen from 8-star to 9-star, which was equivalent to an increase of ten levels of combat strength. The people present were naturally shocked.

Sun Wen said, “That powerful?” With such a great harvest, it’s no wonder you guys would continue to explore even if it’s dangerous. With such a great harvest, it’s indeed worth the risk!”

“I’m so envious,” said Derek Dole. “We’re still hovering around seven stars, but Xu Han, you’re already 9-star.”

“Why is the gap getting bigger and bigger?”

Jin Cheng thought, “Damn, your combat strength is already 9-star? Xu Han, how are you so strong?”

Luo Qingcheng and Chu Long were also extremely surprised.

The one who had the biggest reaction among the people present was undoubtedly Murong Xue.

She and Xu Han had the same combat star level previously.

However, Han was good at group spells, and Murong Xue was a talented rock pugilist. Hence, she could at least defend herself against Xu Han.

But now, Xu Han had suddenly widened the gap between them.

Murong Xue was not happy.”Even Xu Han could increase his battle prowess by one star. I’ll be able to increase that much too if I was there!”

Xu Han looked at the surprised people and smiled. “Don’t just be envious of me, my improvement is still considered small. The others’ improvement is even more. Ye Yifan, Hans Wilson, and Luo Wei also increased their battle prowess from 8-star to 9-star, while Alan Smith increased his battle prowess from 9-star to 10-star. As for the captain, his battle prowess is even more exaggerated. He has already reached a terrifying 14-star combat strength!

When the others heard about Xu Han’s huge improvement, they were shocked. It was already terrifying to increase one level in two days, but Xu Han’s combat strength had increased by one star.

After hearing Xu Han’s story and learning that the other members of the sharp knife team had also improved a lot, perhaps even more than Xu Han, they began to doubt their own lives.

“Your strength has improved too quickly.”

“Now, the gap between us with 7-star combat strength and you guys is even greater.”

“Your strength has increased so quickly. Then what about us?”

“Haha, that’s a good thing. Liu Yan and the others have improved so much this time. The overall combat strength of our team has undoubtedly increased a lot.”

“Yes, it’s a good thing for Team Origin.”

“I’m envious of you. It would be great if I could join the next expedition. I wonder if I’m strong enough.”

…

Luo Qingcheng and the others were envious of Liu Yan and the others. However, they also understood that the significant increase in strength of Liu Yan and the others was undoubtedly good for Team Origin.

The huge increase in the strength of Liu Yan’s group of five would directly increase the overall combat strength of Team Origin by a large margin.

Liu Yan, in particular, had reached a terrifying 14-star combat strength.

In the past, Liu Yan could take on an entire team by himself.

The current Liu Yan could probably take on two or three squads from Team Origin without difficulty, right?

Liu Yan looked at the excited group and smiled, “Alright, the meeting is dismissed. After we have scouted out the surrounding situation, if possible, I will let all of you participate in the next expedition to improve your strength.”

Liu Yan knew that although the sharp knife squad’s exploration of the Hallucinatory Forest was dangerous, they had gained a lot. It was even more than the improvement Xu Han had mentioned.

Putting everything else aside, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf’s increase to 11-star combat strength and the red enchanted puppet’s increase to 10-star combat strength was also huge improvements. Not to mention, Liu Yan’s storage ring was filled with the corpses of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, which could give him another boost.

However, Liu Yan was not blinded by the gains this time.

Liu Yan was clear that he could not be impulsive in the next expedition like he did, where he blindly entered the Hallucinatory Forest without knowing anything about it.

If not for Liu Yan’s powerful spirit energy, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf’s special attribute, and the luck of Liu Yan and the others, the sharp knife squad would have been wiped out long ago.

In their next operation, they had to have an understanding of the situation ahead before they could take action!

Liu Yan planned to explore the area first before starting the next step of the exploration.

It would be best to explore in multiple directions.

The safer way was to let the 6-star and 7-star experts in the team go.

The more dangerous but rewarding places were headed by top experts like Allen Smith.

As for Liu Yan himself, he wanted to continue exploring the Hallucinatory Forest.

There seemed to be an even larger number of more powerful Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers in the hallucinatory forest. At the same time, the depths of the forest seemed extremely dangerous.

However, Liu Yan’s strength was also powerful. He had special equipment like the SSS-grade Wings of Wind God, which could ignore the raging wind elemental energy. Naturally, he had the capital to explore deeper into the Hallucinatory Forest.

Most importantly, if Liu Yan were alone, he would be much safer.

Although Alan Smith and the others were quite strong, there was still a big gap between their strength and Liu Yan’s. They seemed to be a burden if they acted together.

...

Liu Yan planned to go on his own in the next exploration!

Immediately after, Liu Yan dismissed the meeting and returned to his small house. He planned to continue to extract the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower corpses from his storage ring to further improve his strength.

At this moment, a figure came to Liu Yan’s wooden house.

With his S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, Liu Yan had already sensed that the person was Murong Xue through the door.

Liu Yan was a little suspicious. What was Murong Xue up to, coming to his private residence in the middle of the night?
