Although three hours was not short, it was not long either.
If they had enough time, all seven squads of Team Origin would have enough time to enter the essence pool to increase their essence before the territory barrier disappeared.
After Liu Yan sensed that all the mysterious water vapor had left him and his essence upgrade was over, only then did he stand up to leave the essence pool.
At this point, although the essence pool was powerful, it was meaningless to him. Other than being more comfortable when in it, there was no other use for him to continue staying in it.
It was better to make room for the other members of the Team Origin.
Not long after, the experts of Team Origin also left the essence pool.
In about three hours, all the experts of Team Origin had used the essence pool to increase their essences!
"My strength hasn't improved much, but I feel much better."
"This increases talents, not strength. Your feeling is normal."
"With the increase in our essence and talent, the speed at which our strength improves in the future will also accelerate. This is the greatest benefit!"
"I feel that my talent has improved a lot, hahaha!"
"If I had cultivated with this talent since I was young, I would've been much stronger than I am now!"
"Old Zhang, I feel that after my talent has increased, it has surpassed your original talent, no?"
"So what? My talent has also been improved. You're still suppressed by me!"
"..."
The experts of Team Origin discussed their gains happily.Although increasing their essences wouldn't directly increase their strength, they knew that it was more meaningful than an improvement in their strength.
After all, a strength improvement was a one-time thing and they would not undergo another strength improvement in the future. In contrast, the effects of increasing their essences would last forever. It would allow them to increase their strength at a faster speed in the future.
One was a one-time upgrade, while the other was a permanent upgrade. The difference was huge.
Liu Yan carefully sensed it and realized that the increase in his essence was not small.
It seemed that the effect of the essence pool was based on the proportion of each creature's essence. It was not fixed.
This also meant that the stronger the talent and essence of the creatures that entered the essence pool, the more the increase in the creature's essence would be!
This was undoubtedly a good thing for Liu Yan and the experts present!
Liu Yan looked at them and said, "Alright, everyone here has finished upgrading their essence. In the next two days, except for the seven captains who are responsible for arranging for all the members of their squads to enter the essence pool, all the other experts don't have to worry about anything else. Focus on sensing the improvement of your essences and try to adjust your condition to increase your strength."
He looked at the horizon and understood that the day was coming to an end. Team Origin's 28th day in the tower's Wind Barrier was coming to an end.
There were only two days left before the novice protection period ended and the territory barrier would disappear.
These last two days were also the final preparation time for the Origin Territory.
When the territory barrier disappeared, not only would the territory war break out, but they would also have to deal with all kinds of situations and dangers.
In the future, the near-invincible territory barrier would no longer be around to protect the territory. At that time, the Origin Territory could only rely on the city walls, various defensive buildings, and the strength of all the Team Origin members to protect the Origin Territory and themselves!
The experts of Team Origin all agreed to Liu Yan's order.
They knew very well that in reality, the territory war wasn't that challenging for the Origin Territory. After all, the opponents were all random new territories.
The Origin Territory was very strong, to begin with, and it was surely far ahead among the new territories. Moreover, they had two veteran squads led by Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan.
It could be said that the Origin Territory's current strength was in the lead among all the new territories.
Hence, no matter which territory they were to randomly fight during the territory war, as long as it was a new territory, the chances of victory for the Origin Territory were very high.
After the territory barrier disappeared, the real threat to the Origin Territory came from the surrounding territories. Especially that colossal existence, Lakon Territory!
It would be fine if Lakon Territory didn't discover the Origin Territory, but if they did, the latter would face a disaster.action
Thus, the only thing Team Origin could do was to hide as much as they could while increasing their strength and developing their territory as fast as they could.
Only after they had truly become stronger could they be fearless against Lakon Territory and protect themselves!
Under Liu Yan's orders, the experts of Team Origin dispersed and busied themselves with cultivation and improving their strength.
Meanwhile, Xu Han brought all the normal members of the First Squad to enter the essence pool to increase their essence.
Liu Yan handed over the matter of the seven squads entering the essence pool to the seven captains.
As for himself, he returned to his wooden house.
Although his strength had increased rapidly during this period and his trip to the Hallucinatory Forest had also given his strength a great boost, Liu Yan deeply understood that this was far from enough.
After all, one day in the future, he would have to lead Team Origin to face the Lakon Territory, a powerful opponent.
Regardless of whether it was sooner or later, this day was bound to come. There was no way to avoid it.
Therefore, all Liu Yan could do was to continuously and rapidly increase his strength.
He first took out the SS-grade spiritual origin stone. It could increase the spirit energy of all the creatures around it.
Liu Yan had roughly sensed it previously. It had a very wide range, reaching a radius of five kilometers.
This area was huge. Although it could not cover the entire Origin Territory, it could cover the wooden house area of the territory.
When they were not on missions, the members of Team Originy would spend most of their time training in the wooden house area or sparring in the square to practice their combat skills.
Coincidentally, Liu Yan's wooden house was close to the square. Therefore, placing the spiritual origin stone in his wooden house could cover both the wooden house area and the square. It was undoubtedly an extremely suitable choice.
By placing the spiritual origin stone here, its effects could cover as many members of Team Origin as possible and help them increase their spirit energy.
As such, Liu Yan placed the SS-grade spiritual origin stone in his house. In any case, no one could enter his wooden house except for himself. It was very safe.
After putting the spiritual origin stone down, Liu Yan saw a few notifications appear in front of him.
[Your spirit energy has increased. Spiritual attribute +3!]
