The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 579 - 459: Champion Hall

"Back then, the Great Xia dispatched specialists to investigate. After confirming her talent posed no danger, she chose to keep it a secret."

He seemed lost in distant memories: "Innate Golden, almost invisible in an era that wasn't a Golden Era, but she appeared, like an incredible miracle."

"That year's provincial competition, and the national league four years later, almost became her solo performance. She swept through all opponents with an overwhelming stance, bringing glory to Zhen Sheng City that remains unsurpassed."

"What a pity..."

Kong Guofeng shook his head.

"Perhaps it was coincidence, or she was too dazzling, catching the eye of the Demon Race."

"Twelve years after she won the national championship, during what seemed like a routine mission in the Outer Battlefield, the Seventh Army fell into an ambush by the Demon Race. Several Tier Seven peak Demon Kings simultaneously attacked."

"To cover the retreat of the main forces, Qin Ran fought to the end without retreat."

"That battle was extremely fierce, even though she had already achieved True Man status and had initially entered the Seven-Star level, facing so many peak beings of the Same Tier exhausted her."

"According to the investigation afterward, there were even traces of Tier Eight Demon Gods activity behind it."

"Although she ultimately managed to fight and kill three Tier Seven peak Demon Kings without falling on the spot, her injuries were too severe, and still... she couldn't hold on."

At this point, Kong Guofeng seemed unwilling to elaborate further, he waved his hand and turned to talk about another person in the photo.

The strongest Daoist School Leader of Fenghai Province.

Hua Bo of the Earth.

"Hua Bo was Qin Ran's husband."

"He met Qin Ran very early, from the provincial competition, all the way to the national championship, even after graduation, they acted together, I attended their wedding too."

"But at least during that time, he wasn't too dazzling, even seeming somewhat mediocre."

Kong Guofeng's tone was somewhat inexplicable: "After Qin Ran's death, Hua Bo remained silent for about a year."

"No one knows what kind of opportunity he had later, but he soared skyward, unexpectedly advancing his talent to Golden without a sound."

"Then, he shone brightly on the Outer Battlefield."

Hua Bo's Golden Mystical Technique is called [Earth Guardian].

This is widely known in Zhen Sheng City.

And for a Golden skill and Mystical Technique, at least one's talent or the Spirit Beast's Potential has to be of the legendary Golden Grade to achieve it.

"..."

Lin Guang's heart experienced significant upheaval.

This past is definitely considered a buried secret.

He felt more gratitude than reverence towards Hua Bo, not blindly following stars, yet counted as someone with strong intelligence, completely unaware that Hua Bo had such a history.

Lin Guang had heard of Hua Bo's previous talent, which was Sequence 777 [Power of Earth], innately without even a single complete Dao Mark.

But Golden Talent, without exception, must have at least nine complete Dao Marks.

Nine complete Dao Marks are the standard to converge into the Golden legendary level.

If it were before, Lin Guang might have marveled at what a stroke of luck this was.

But now, possessing five Dao Marks and having already planned his path to Golden Grade Talent, he knew better than anyone.

The difficulty of "Postnatal" increasing the number of Dao Marks is immense.

Yin Long's [Rising Dragon Transformation] Talent inherently carried four complete Dao Marks, and the Yin Family, this Dragon Clan which produced a Giant, invested heavily to raise his Dao Marks to seven.

Moreover, this is largely related to Yin Long having True Intent early on, seeing through his future path, and generally not hitting the upper limit.

If there was no True Intent, engraving those last two would be extremely difficult, infuriatingly so, even with the resources of Longteng University, it might not be completed in four years.

And Lin Guang's [Heaven Refining Acupoint] is no different.

As an Inheritance Divine Object, [Heaven Refining Acupoint] was forged by Liu Cheyi using his own foundation and the essence accumulated in the Secret Realm's Refining Heaven Realm, with an amazing effect, nearing Eight-Star Inheritance.

But if Lin Guang lacked True Intent, hadn't understood his path, then even if resources were piled up to the heavens, it would likely push [Heart of Terra] to seven or eight marks, reaching its limit.

If intended for the use of the three young ladies, then [Heaven Refining Acupoint], this Divine Object, might even be worn out through constant use and ultimately exhausted.

This is also the reality of most methods for engraving Dao Marks.

These methods that can engrave Dao Marks are consumable by nature, not something that once forged becomes effortless, not a matter where unlimited resource investment promises success.

This is why geniuses who solidify True Intent in advance are so valuable, attracting competition, even qualifying them as Celestial King Talent.

Under the consumable conditions of Dao Mark engraving methods, investing resources in geniuses with solidified True Intent is most cost-effective.

Because they won't be stuck at the Golden threshold.

As long as True Intent is obtained before the Six-Star foundation is established, then aggressively piling resources and Inheritance can equally quickly achieve Golden.

Compared to Innate Golden, although a few years slower, these years aren't too distant, and furthermore, one gains precious experiences ascending step by step beyond the Sixty-Level bottleneck.

In this perspective, it's hard to definitively say which is superior or inferior.

But when comparing, Hua Bo, a Sequence 777 civilian without sect or school, wanting to elevate to Golden within a year... is virtually impossible.
