The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 589 - 462: Departure (Part 2) [End of First Half]
This is not even superstition.
Because in this world possessing extraordinary might, the word 'great' can genuinely manifest in a physical sense.
Worshiping the strong and longing for the leadership of the mighty is human nature.
Through this league representing the highest level of Great Xia's younger generation, these citizens can glimpse a shred of the strength of the nation across the sea.
In a tavern, a young man with a pair of black cat ears on his head and a tail wagging behind was excitedly watching the screen.
On the television screen, the teenager in a black coat stood firm amidst a torrent of world-destroying energy, engaging in fierce combat with his opponent.
He and several partners demonstrated earth-shattering strength, fighting that towering figure with purple hair, as if the earth would be shattered and the sky would be torn asunder with every move.
Xing Yue's passionate commentary was translated into Fusang subtitles displayed below.
The cat-ear youth watched for a long time and finally couldn't help but exclaim: "It's simply ridiculous."
A man couldn't help but take a sip of beer, and a fox tail behind him swayed: "I heard he's just a junior in high school..."
The cat-ear youth's ears couldn't help but twitch: "How does he feel more powerful than the Wild God..."
"Really envious."
Someone nearby quietly sighed: "This kind of power is the benefit of Great Xia's Meditation Technique."
"Yeah... This top-level Meditation Technique, amazingly practiced by the entire nation, just seems ridiculous."
The cat-ear youth also showed a longing smile: "It's a pity we're not people of Great Xia, even if that Technique is not a secret, we can't practice it."
"If only we were born in Great Xia..."
The fox-tail man took another gulp of beer: "Stop dreaming, those on TV are geniuses with Purple Talent, only someone like the Princess is qualified to speak to them."
"We, the gray ones who can't awaken, are at the bottom everywhere."
"Bottom is bottom, but in Great Xia, at least you don't have to be constantly on edge." The cat-ear youth's feline pupils sparkled, "If I can save enough money in the future, I must find a way to settle in Great Xia."
"True enough..."
A sweet-looking girl with floppy dog ears stuck to her head couldn't help but say: "Speaking of which, his partners seem like us."
"Indeed."
The girl shook her fluffy brown dog tail and started daydreaming: "Also, he's so handsome..."
Her companion, a girl with horse ears and seemingly strong leg muscles, patted her shoulder: "Stop dreaming, he wouldn't be interested in you."
In Fusang, due to various reasons, it's not uncommon for humans to develop beast-like traits.
They don't have as comprehensive and widespread Contract Techniques as Great Xia, with fewer Spirit Masters.
Many unable to awaken their talent will often need to regularly offer to various local gods and demons, receiving bestowed bloodlines to awaken to a certain extent, thus beginning their cultivation and improving their level, but similarly develop beast-like traits.
Such traits were passed down through generations, occupying a noteworthy portion of the population.
Amidst the exclamations and discussions, a figure drinking alone in a corner was also fixated on the television.
This was a tall man with irregular black horns on his head and unusual eyes.
Yet in a nation where many have beast-like traits, and some even have faces with blue skin and fangs, he didn't stand out.
His ordered chicken skewers were long cold, his glass empty, yet he stayed there, eyes unwavering.
He watched the crown phantom atop the teenager's head consisting purely of black diamond-shaped Crystal Stones, and beside him, the girl with sharp red angles, his eyes shining no less brightly than those next to him.
...
Capital.
In a city center bar.
A waiter with fox ears and a furry tail, looking quite ordinary, stared at the screen where a fox-ear girl was releasing strong mental thoughts, somewhat entranced.
...…
Tokyo.
In a bustling commercial plaza, a girl with small wings on either side of her head stared blankly at the big screen with the boy displayed.
...…
Across various places in Fusang, countless people watched the televised competition at the moment.
Great Xia's prodigies were abundant like fish crossing the river, with most people not having enough insight to discern the value of each prodigy, hence they wouldn't remember any individual but instead converted these brilliant stars into a longing and yearning for that mysterious and powerful nation.
Yet there were some who had left their hometown far behind, finding it difficult to return, and settled in Fusang, as visitors from the Otherworld.
Almost all of them firmly remembered the name of the boy on the TV at the moment.
Lin Guang.
As for what waves this attention will stir in the future, it remains unknown.
It's just certain that...
Something has already begun to slowly take root and grow, waiting for some future day to bloom and bear fruit.
