As Chu Luoyan cast a formation on the screen, the monsters outside the territories of these dozens of lords grew stronger again.
These lords constantly monitored the situation outside their territories. When they saw that the monsters outside had increased, they cursed again and had to continue to resist the monster attacks, dispatching more soldiers to fend them off.
Chu Luoyan saw that some territories could not hold on and directly deleted over a dozen, leaving more than twenty.
Zhou Yan's territory was similar, except Zhou Yan was not on the city walls of his territory at this time. No matter how many monsters there were outside, they could hardly break through the territory's defense towers. Zhou Yan was very confident about this.
Since that was the case, he might as well do other things in his territory, such as where the territory needed improvement, where it lacked buildings, or what kind of buildings were in short supply.
As he observed, he indeed found that the territory was lacking quite a few buildings. Especially with the increase in the territory's population, buildings like [Spirit Fields] and [Fish Ponds] were becoming insufficient.
[Spirit Fields] in particular, because a large number of spiritual herbs were planted, required more [Spirit Field] buildings to grow other things.
Spiritual herbs were different from crops; they took a long time to mature, and some spiritual herbs were better the longer they were grown. No matter how long they were planted, they could still be harvested.
Zhou Yan looked at the buildings recently collected by the territory and found that over a hundred buildings had been added.
These buildings were all needed by the territory. There were quite a few [Farmlands], [Fish Ponds], and various types of animal husbandry farms. All of these were necessary, and he had them all constructed.
As for buildings that the territory lacked, he instructed Jin Sanyi to collect them, and then he upgraded the territory's buildings again, significantly increasing the level of many of them.
In particular, Zhou Yan upgraded the two barracks to level 80, namely [White Robe Ghost Soldiers] and [Assault Camp].
After the two barracks were upgraded to level 80, the number of people they could summon directly increased to one hundred thousand, which would consume a considerable amount of Spirit Coins to summon them.
At level 60, they could only summon twenty thousand people. Now, after being upgraded to level 80, they could summon seventy thousand more.
The two barracks could add one hundred and forty thousand soldiers. Zhou Yan naturally summoned all of these one hundred and forty thousand soldiers and then upgraded their levels to 30.
It cost too much Soul Coins to upgrade their levels, so he could only upgrade them to level 30 for now and would increase their levels further when he had enough Soul Coins.
As for the levels of other barracks, they were not upgraded and remained at their original numbers.
With an increase of over a hundred thousand people, the territory's equipment, food, and finances all represented a huge expenditure. However, Zhou Yan had already considered these matters, otherwise he would not have dared to summon so many people.
These soldiers were naturally handed over to Zhang Liang for arrangement. He would take care of everything.
However, Zhou Yan still needed to summon some talents specializing in animal husbandry.
Upon arriving at the [Hall of Heroes], Zhou Yan summoned breeding talents from S-grade to SSS-grade and handed them all over to Guan Zhong for management.
Guan Zhong was the newly appointed Minister of Agriculture, and all matters related to the territory's agriculture and animal husbandry would be handled by him.
In the entire trial, Zhou Yan was the most leisurely. With Chu Luoyan's targeting, the monsters outside the territories of many lords grew increasingly powerful, and eventually only eight screens remained in front of her.
Among the inner disciples, only Li Bufan, Luo Yushuang, Zhuge Kaiming, and Zhou Yan were still in front of Chu Luoyan.
As for the outer disciples, five of them remained.
The other mentors were also paying attention to these nine people. Seeing that the monsters outside their territories had reached the level of level 60 leader-grade monsters, they were speechless towards Chu Luoyan.
This was clearly pushing them to their deaths, and Chu Luoyan was still continuously increasing the strength of the monsters outside these students' territories.
It seemed as if she would not rest until she pushed these disciples to their absolute limit.
Finally, Chu Luoyan raised the monsters' level to 65, and their quality directly became that of a bronze boss.
The students were once again speechless. With such high-level monsters and such strong quality, how many students could withstand them?
As expected, under this wave of monster attacks, Chu Luoyan saw that several more students could not hold on, so she withdrew the monsters outside their territories.
Luo Yushuang and Zhuge Kaiming were among them. They breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered that the monsters outside their territories had withdrawn, as they had almost thought they wouldn't make it.
However, three other territories were still holding on, namely Li Bufan's, Zhou Yan's, and one outer disciple's territory.
There was no doubt that these three were the strongest territories in the entire trial.
As for the other lords in the trial grounds, after the monster attacks stopped, they began to organize their armies and explore outside their territories one after another.
But everyone wanted to see how far these three territories could hold on.
Chu Luoyan continued to increase the strength of the monsters outside the territories of the three, raising their quality from bronze to silver.
The three could still resist. After a few minutes, Chu Luoyan once again raised the monsters' level to 70, which significantly increased the monsters' strength.
A group of students watching this scene all sighed that Elder Chu Luoyan was truly ruthless, pushing the lords to their limits.
Ultimately, the outer disciple could no longer hold on, and a gap was breached in the city walls by the monsters. Seeing this, Chu Luoyan withdrew the monsters outside their territory.
This left only the territories of two inner disciples still holding on.
This made the outer disciples very speechless. The territories of these two were too powerful.
"Who are they? They are even more powerful than us!"
"Especially the lord with the dragon-shaped city walls. The moat is too exaggerated, and there are only two bridges that can be used for passage. It's a problem for other lords to launch a large-scale attack."
"Stop envying them. Their territory is so large; they are definitely not ordinary people."
"I know that golden territory belongs to the Ye family's Dragon King lineage. That is the number one aristocratic family in the Divine Dragon Kingdom. It is natural for them to be powerful. It's just that I don't know which family the other person's territory belongs to."
"Stop guessing. They are just ordinary people, but I feel like this information is too fake."
"Exactly. How could an ordinary person develop a territory to this extent? I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death."
Everyone was discussing, but Chu Luoyan still increased the difficulty of the monsters outside the two territories.
