Unable to Continue Taking the Short Cut

Overall, the rewards for winning these territory battles were indeed extremely generous.

However, the group rewards were fixed, meaning that every member of the Origin Territory received the same rewards. This resulted in a more significant increase for those with weaker strength and a relatively lesser increase for those with stronger strength.

For example, this time, the ordinary members of the Origin Territory had increased their combat strength by at least three-star levels.

On the other hand, the experts, being stronger to begin with, had more limited increases in their combat strength. Most of them had only increased their combat strength by one-star level. A small number of people like Xu Han didn't even achieve a one-star increase, while a few others, like Ye Yifan, who participated in the territory battles and received some generous individual rewards, had increased their combat strength by a lot, but they only increased their combat strength by two stars at most.

Additionally, the stronger Lu Dajiang, Wei Feng, Huang Yuan, and the others did not experience any increase in combat strength at all.

Among them, Liu Yan himself was included.

Liu Yan had fought many times in this territory battle, especially against the Lakon Territory. Liu Yan had even defeated several opponents and obtained some generous individual rewards.

But even so, to Liu Yan, the increase in strength was relatively limited. The increase in strength did not even reach a single star.

Liu Yan could not help but look at Lu Dajiang and the others.

Lu Dajiang immediately understood and said, "Although my strength has increased by quite a bit, it's true that I didn't increase my star class. I only increased my combat strength by about half a star-class."

Wei Feng said, "I've also increased by half a star."

Huang Yuan and the others nodded. The overall situation was similar.

Liu Yan sighed helplessly. "It's the same for me. My combat strength hasn't even reached half a star, let alone one star."

Hearing Liu Yan's words, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Liu Yan had won several small battles, and many of them had drawn generous individual rewards.

Logically speaking, Liu Yan's gains were more than theirs, and the increase in strength was also more than theirs.

However, because Liu Yan's strength was too terrifying, the final result was that Liu Yan's battle combat strength did not even reach half a star. From this, it could be seen that Liu Yan's strength had already reached an extremely terrifying level, far ahead of them. Ye Yifan and the others were already used to this. After all, they had followed Liu Yan all the way here. Liu Yan had always been like this, always leaving them far behind.

However, Lu Dajiang and the others were somewhat affected.

After all, they were originally Liu Yan's seniors. When they were still in the Lighthouse Academy, their strength far exceeded Liu Yan's.

When they entered the Wind Barrier on the sixth floor of the tower, they entered two and a half years before Liu Yan.

But even so, their strength had already been surpassed by Liu Yan, and it was still far beyond.

This was undoubtedly a deep blow to Lu Dajiang and the others, who had been geniuses since they were young.

Sun Wen was a bit curious and asked, "Captain, our territory's strength has increased so much during this period. Our ranking should have increased by a lot, right? Look at our current ranking. How much difference is there between us and Lakon?"

Hearing Sun Wen's words, the rest of the people also looked at Liu Yan curiously. They were all curious about how much the strength of the entire Origin Territory had increased during this period and how big the gap was between the Origin Territory and the Lakon Territory.

When Liu Yan heard this, he nodded slightly. He also used the lord token to check the territory panel of the Origin Territory.

After the end of the novice period, the territory panel had changed. Compared to before, there was an additional ranking number that would display the specific ranking of the various territories in the Wind Barrier on the sixth floor of the tower.

Liu Yan knew that before the territory battles, the Origin Territory's ranking was 8321/12120.

A batch of new territories, totaling 3,000 territories. This meant that the strength of the Origin Territory at that time was an extremely top-notch existence among all the new territories. However, in the entire Wind Barrier, it was ranked lower. After all, there were many old territories in the Wind Barrier.

These old territories were made up of top teams from various planets. Their strength was not bad, and they had been training in the Wind Barrier for a long time. Their strength naturally increased a lot.

After a few battles, the current ranking of the Origin Territory in the Wind Barrier was 4321/10378.

It could be said that it was an extremely huge increase in the number of names, increasing by more than 4,000.

Even the previous Lighthouse Territory was only ranked around 5,000. This meant that the current strength of the Origin Territory had easily surpassed the original Lighthouse Territory.

Apart from that, Liu Yan also noticed that a few days ago, there were more than 12,000 territories in the Wind Barrier.

A few days later, there were only a little over 10,000 territories.

This meant that in just a few days, more than 2,000 territories had been destroyed and disappeared from the Wind Barrier.

Any territory was formed by geniuses from other planets, and their strength was terrifying. However, in just a few days, more than 2,000 of these territories were destroyed.

Behind the numbers was an incomparably cruel truth. It also reminded Liu Yan that he needed to increase his strength and the strength of the entire Origin Territory even faster.

Only by improving his strength quickly enough and becoming strong enough could he face powerful opponents and all kinds of dangers in the future. Only then would he be qualified to survive!
