Chapter 1050 Unfair Origin Pool?
Liu Yan couldn't help but speculate. Could it be that the longer it took to enhance one's essence, the greater the benefits obtained?
If this were indeed the case, then the Magma Demon King, Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf, Purple Wind Falcon, and even the unique red enchanted puppet, who were still inside the essence pool, could potentially gain even more advantages!
Having grasped this, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel that the essence pool appeared somewhat unfair to humans. However, at this moment, he hoped that the essence pool would exhibit even more partiality, granting additional benefits to the remaining fierce beasts and mystical monsters, further elevating their essence and perhaps even their strength.
Liu Yan didn't have to wait long before the Magma Demon King emerged from the essence pool and stood before him. Simultaneously, the Purple Wind Falcon took flight and perched on Liu Yan's shoulder.
Liu Yan promptly checked their attribute panels.
[Magma Demon King]
[Potential: S-grade]
[Level: 143]
[Combat Strength: 15 Stars]
...
[Purple Wind Falcon]
[Potential: S-grade]
[Level: 102]
[Combat Strength: 12 Stars]
...
Observing the attribute panels of the Magma Demon King and the Purple Wind Falcon, Liu Yan's suspicions were confirmed.
The Magma Demon King had also directly increased its potential by one level, advancing from its previous A-grade potential to the current S-grade potential. The magnitude of this increase was substantial, and its strength had likewise elevated by one star, from 14 Stars to an impressive 15 Stars.
The Purple Wind Falcon's improvement was significant as well. It had progressed from its prior A-grade potential to the current S-grade potential. Furthermore, its strength had surged by two stars, shifting from its previous 10-star combat strength to an impressive 12-star combat strength.
Although the Purple Wind Falcon's combat strength still fell somewhat short, Liu Yan understood that this fierce beast wasn't originally designed for combat. Therefore, its current combat strength was considered normal.
Conversely, after gaining a two-star boost in combat strength, the Purple Wind Falcon's overall capabilities had significantly improved.
Particularly in areas like stealth, speed, and reconnaissance, it had unquestionably undergone substantial enhancements.
While the Purple Wind Falcon might not be a great asset in combat, its prowess in reconnaissance could prove immensely valuable!
Liu Yan instructed the upgraded Magma Demon King to return to its dwelling.
As for the Purple Wind Falcon, it was Liu Yan's pet, so he naturally retained possession of it. When the need arose for reconnaissance, Liu Yan would release the Purple Wind Falcon for that purpose.
After the situation had settled, Liu Yan couldn't help but turn his attention to the last two beings remaining in the essence pool, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf and the special red enchanted puppet.
Liu Yan held high expectations for both of them.
Firstly, the special red enchanted puppet, which originally lacked any essence, was now capable of enhancing its essence within the essence pool. Liu Yan was greatly curious about how the special red enchanted puppet would appear when it emerged from the essence pool. Would it undergo a tremendous transformation?
As for the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf, Liu Yan's anticipation was even greater.
After all, while the mystical monsters and fierce beasts had seen substantial potential increases, elevating them by a single level, their initial potential levels weren't particularly high. After the enhancement, they merely reached S-grade potential.
However, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf was a different case. It had been the first to accompany Liu Yan and, thanks to Liu Yan's repeated assistance, coupled with the creature's unique constitution, it could directly absorb to enhance its innate talent and strength.
This resulted in its growth from an initial B-grade potential to its current SS-grade potential, evolving into the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf it was today!
In reality, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf possessed SS-grade potential. Logically speaking, it should be far more formidable now, possibly approaching Liu Yan's level.
Unfortunately, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf had a rather playful disposition, which meant that despite its outstanding talent, its current strength was relatively ordinary.
At this moment, Liu Yan couldn't help but wonder what level the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf, which already had SS-grade potential, would reach after this next enhancement.
Though the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf had entered the essence pool playfully and hadn't initially focused on enhancing its essence, Liu Yan allowed it some playtime before encouraging it to concentrate on elevating its essence.
As a result, the time it had spent increasing its essence had not been short!
Liu Yan waited patiently until late at night when the special red enchanted puppet finally emerged from the essence pool.
At this moment, the enchanted puppet's appearance remained exactly as it had been before.
However, Liu Yan noticed that things were quite different now.
The previous special red enchanted puppet, although it had some consciousness, remained stiff. It wouldn't take any action without Liu Yan's orders and would simply stand still.
But the special red enchanted puppet that had just emerged from the essence pool was different. It made eye contact with Liu Yan.
Liu Yan could even perceive some emotions from the two red gemstones that served as its eyes.
If the intelligence of the previous red enchanted puppet was equivalent to that of a three-year-old human child, the current red enchanted puppet seemed to possess intelligence similar to that of an eight-year-old human child.
At this moment, the red enchanted puppet was curiously observing its surroundings.
"Come here," Liu Yan instructed calmly.
Upon hearing Liu Yan's command, the red enchanted puppet immediately approached obediently. It looked at Liu Yan as if it were awaiting his orders.
Seeing this, Liu Yan felt reassured.
Even if the red enchanted puppet had gained its own thoughts, Liu Yan didn't want it to disobey his orders. However, it appeared that the red enchanted puppet, despite being much smarter than before, still exhibited unwavering obedience to Liu Yan's commands.
Liu Yan then realized that he might have been overly concerned. Regardless of how intelligent the red enchanted puppet became, or how intelligent it might become in the future, it was ultimately created by Liu Yan himself. Moreover, he had implanted his mark within the core of the red enchanted puppet. Therefore, regardless of the circumstances, it would always obey Liu Yan.
The red enchanted puppet was a unique lifeform, making it impossible to check its attributes panel. Liu Yan could only sense its changes.
After sensing for a while, Liu Yan discovered that the red enchanted puppet's strength had increased from 13 stars to 15 stars. This was a significant improvement.
With such strength, the red enchanted puppet would be considered an expert even among the teams led by Lu Dajiang and Huang Yuan, let alone the other five teams.
Furthermore, Liu Yan was aware that the red enchanted puppet retained the combat style of an enchanted puppet and could store a lot of combat strength for optimal use in battle. Therefore, compared to an ordinary 15-star Awakened, the combat strength of the red enchanted puppet was considerably higher.
After spending time in the essence pool, it had gained a full two-star increase in combat strength. The gains were undeniably substantial.
However, Liu Yan couldn't help but feel that the red enchanted puppet, having spent so much time in the essence pool, must have acquired more than just a two-star boost in combat strength and intelligence. There might be other benefits as well.
Yet, these would have to be explored further in the future.
Liu Yan didn't immediately put away the red enchanted puppet. Instead, he allowed it to stay in its surroundings, familiarizing itself with this world.
Since its intelligence had improved, getting acquainted with this world would be beneficial. Not only would it aid in its ongoing intellectual development, but it would also be advantageous in battles.
Meanwhile, Liu Yan patiently waited for the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf to complete its essence enhancement.
The Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf required the longest time to upgrade its essence within the essence pool, which was in line with Liu Yan's expectations.
After all, the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf possessed SS-grade potential. Compared to other fierce beasts and mystic monsters, its potential exceeded theirs by more than one level.
Therefore, it was reasonable for such an extraordinary talent as the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf to need more time to enhance its essence.
Liu Yan waited patiently. There was still one day left before the territory barrier disappeared, so there was ample time!
