Chapter 1157 Split Up
Huang Yuan’s intention was clear.
If Liu Yan were to collaborate and explore with the team, his formidable strength would undoubtedly provide a safeguard, ensuring the safety of the expert members of Team Origin.
However, simultaneously, it would also significantly constrain Liu Yan’s strength.
Considering the strength of Team Origin’s experts, the area they were heading to would not be excessively perilous.
If they didn’t venture too deeply, the risk would decrease, but so would the opportunities. Naturally, it wouldn’t be conducive to Liu Yan’s advancement.
Liu Yan’s current strength already surpassed others by far. Collaborating would scarcely offer much improvement.
Just as in the previous territorial battles, all members of Origin Territory had made substantial gains.
Even the experts of Team Origin had generally augmented their combat strength by at least one level.
Yet, despite Liu Yan’s involvement in the territorial battles and deriving strength from several skirmishes, he hadn’t observed much progress. He hadn’t even attained a single-level advancement.
Liu Yan naturally comprehended Huang Yuan’s implication, he had pondered over this before.
If Liu Yan sought to enhance his strength, acting independently would indeed be most suitable.
However, the current circumstances were somewhat exceptional. Liu Yan was somewhat anxious about the safety of the experts in Origin Territory, hence he hadn’t proposed acting solo. Liu Yan’s actions were geared towards ensuring the safety of all the experts in Origin Territory.
Yet, upon hearing Huang Yuan’s suggestion, Liu Yan felt somewhat enticed.
During this period, in order to bolster the strength of the entire Origin Territory, Liu Yan had already made numerous sacrifices. The pace of his strength enhancement had slowed considerably.
If it weren’t for the entirety of Origin Territory, why would Liu Yan sacrifice himself like this?
Huang Yuan appeared to grasp Liu Yan’s concerns and continued, “Actually, safety is not a concern. This operation is spearheaded by Lu Dajiang. He is most familiar with the environment there, so safety is virtually assured. Even if Lakon Territory still harbors spies, they won’t be top-tier experts. Lu Dajiang and I can handle them. Moreover, given the unique terrain on the island, we can make quick escapes.”
Lu Dajiang also reassured, “Yes, I understand the environment there, and you, Captain, need not worry. Furthermore, only when your strength reaches the point where you can confront the monster in Lakon Territory will our Origin Territory be able to confront the Lakon Territory directly.”
Liu Yan pondered it carefully and agreed. With Lu Dajiang leading the team, it was already quite safe.
How could there be no risk in going out on an adventure? A certain level of risk was necessary.
Moreover, what Lu Dajiang said was correct. Only when Liu Yan’s own strength increased to the point where he could confront the monster in the Lakon Territory would the Origin Territory have enough confidence to engage in direct confrontation with the Lakon Territory in the future.
In a battle between two territories, the impact of top-tier combat strength was undoubtedly enormous. Thus, if Liu Yan wanted to safeguard the entire Origin Territory, it was indeed necessary for him to elevate his strength to the maximum.
Liu Yan no longer hesitated. He nodded and said, “Alright, then Lu Dajiang will be in charge of this operation. Huang Yuan, you will assist and lead the experts of Team Origin in exploring and enhancing their strengths. I will act alone.”
When Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan saw that Liu Yan agreed, they finally felt relieved.
They both understood that with Lu Dajiang’s protection along the way, they would be safe.
However, burdening Liu Yan with such responsibility would be unfair.
Seeing Liu Yan potentially held back by them, they couldn’t accept it.
After all, with Liu Yan’s exceptional talent, if he focused on developing and increasing his strength, he could progress even faster.
Following this discussion, Liu Yan and the others quickly finalized the operation’s details.
There was no time to waste. They commenced their mission early the following morning.
After all, nobody knew when Lakon Territory would discover the Origin Territory’s location or when the war would commence.
However, it was certain that the day was drawing near. Time was running out for the Origin Territory.
In this urgent situation, hesitation was a luxury they couldn’t afford. They had to seize every opportunity to enhance their strength!
After confirming the details, the three of them went their separate ways.
Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan began selecting and informing the experts of the Origin Territory, while Liu Yan returned to his wooden house.
Since this operation involved entering the eastern island region, only experts could participate.
Even some of the experts who weren’t strong enough couldn’t join.
Ultimately, Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan set the minimum requirement at 15 stars of combat strength.
In the entire Origin Territory, there were very few individuals strong enough to participate in this operation. This ensured it would be a small-scale endeavor.
As for the specific details, Liu Yan didn’t concern himself too much with them. He delegated all of them to Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan. After all, the two of them were more familiar with the eastern islands. It was undoubtedly more appropriate to let them handle it.
Liu Yan returned to his wooden house and first opened his interface to check his current strength.

After reviewing his attributes panel, Liu Yan gained a clear understanding of his strengths.
In the recent territory battles, he had indeed profited considerably, and his strength had increased significantly.
Although his combat star level appeared unchanged, his actual combat strength had advanced from the early 22-star phase to the late 22-star phase.
However, at Liu Yan’s level, increasing his star level was exceedingly difficult, hence he chose not to pursue it further.
Nevertheless, Liu Yan’s true combat strength had seen a more substantial increase than any other member of the Origin Territory, albeit not readily apparent on the surface.
At this juncture, Liu Yan contemplated his next steps toward personal advancement.
Typically, experts would seek experience through battles and resource acquisition to enhance their prowess.
Yet, Liu Yan found such progression speed inadequate.
Possessing an SSS-grade Divine Extraction talent, Liu Yan could opt for a shortcut.
With this realization, Liu Yan’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
Previously, before the conflict with the Lighthouse Territory, they had joined forces to vanquish the Flaming Mountain in the western desert.
At that time, Liu Yan had assisted the core of the Flaming Mountain.
Considering the timeline, it was likely that the Flaming Mountain’s core had by now regained its strength.
Liu Yan had aided in the reawakening of the dormant Flaming Mountain.
During that period, the core of the Flaming Mountain had also conveyed its intent to repay Liu Yan once it recovered.
Now, the time was ripe. Liu Yan could prompt the Flaming Mountain’s core to fulfill its promise.
Liu Yan promptly decided to visit Flaming Mountain’s core first thing in the morning, followed by delving deep into the eastern islands for personal training!
