The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 425 - 396: Heaven Refining Acupoint

"I should have already sent you the information about your greatest enemy yesterday."

Lin Guang nodded.

If Lin Guang’s goal is the championship, then there is a mountain he cannot avoid, a peak he must overcome.

The last time at Celestial Ladder Mountain’s inheritance, they had not appeared, seemingly in seclusion...

The Yin Family, Yin Long.

The holder of Sequence 111 talent [Rising Dragon Transformation], innately possessing four complete Dao Marks.

There’s a rumor that the Yin Family is already using the full strength of the clan to inscribe Dao Marks for him. With four months until the provincial finals, no one knows to what extent he will improve.

Moreover, the Yin family is the top giant family in Fenghai Province.

In Great Xia, dragons almost have the significance of totems, thus in the Great Xia Nine Provinces, each province has a so-called dragon vein, also known as the Dragon Taming Lineage.

The Great Xia Nine Provinces, in other words, are nine dragon veins.

And the Yin Family is the dragon vein of Fenghai Province.

This family once produced an Eight-Star Giant, who along with his Holy Beast partner, was revered as [Great Dragon Head], and died of natural causes, leaving behind a complete blessing and Holy Beast inheritance.

Yin Long is the contemporary heir chosen by the [Great Dragon Head].

The effect of [Rising Dragon Transformation] is such that the more battles he fights, the stronger he becomes, with the strongest enhancement supposedly able to contend with a Golden Grade talent.

Although it’s well known that contending usually means being able to exchange blows a few times but probably not win.

But besides talent, no one knows to what extent the Yin Family has boosted Yin Long and his Spirit Beast— the wealth left by the [Great Dragon Head] itself is capable of pushing talent and Spirit Beast grade to extremely high levels, almost like defying fate.

What heights can the combination reach?

In theory, Lin Guang cannot defeat him at all.

Kong Guofeng is not unaware of this, but he doesn’t seem the least bit pessimistic, instead, he looks at Lin Guang.

The last time the Seven-Star Miracle Master treated his Ore Disease...but he also gave him a full body check.

Naturally, he also knew about the fetal membrane enveloping his talent in Lin Guang’s Sea of Spirit.

Even though Lin Guang’s Sea of Spirit seems to have a self-sealing tendency, making it hard to clearly determine its purpose, one can sense that it’s a very powerful inheritance.

"You’ve made up your mind and are ready to use your inheritance, aren’t you?"

Lin Guang smiled slightly, "Yes."

The inheritance secret realm within Celestial Ladder Mountain, the event that caused a huge stir among many senior executives in Fenghai Province, was ultimately won by Lin Guang.

It was an inheritance judged by all True Men to be at the Seven-Star Peak level, capable of founding a sect and establishing powerful orders like the Celestial Star Sect.

Lin Guang’s physical issues were not made public, and most of them didn’t know Lin Guang was facing such severe circumstances. Kong Guofeng had been receiving contact from some True Men, trying to inquire about the specific function of the inheritance Lin Guang obtained.

Most of them had guessed parts of it— Lin Guang’s rapid inscribing of Dao Marks while climbing Celestial Ladder Mountain indicated that the inheritance’s function was likely related to that, and very effective.

Although Lin Guang’s talent could evolve while climbing because of the miraculous chemical reaction between the supreme Compass that contained part of the core inheritance and his evolving [Heart of Terra] along with the Ore Disease, it cannot be denied that they did not guess wrong.

The Divine Object inheritance that Lin Guang refined, called [Heaven Refining Acupoint], was indeed tailored specifically for inscribing Dao Marks.

Lin Guang didn’t hold back, showing a smile, "I named it [Heaven Refining Acupoint]."

At this moment, with his Spiritual Power, he could clearly observe in his Sea of Spirit the golden orb resembling a fetal membrane, enveloping the Heart of Terra.

If scanned carefully with Spiritual Power, one would find its structure to be immensely complex, layer upon layer.

"It can absorb Spiritual Materials and Divine Objects with considerably high efficiency, to repair, and even enhance my talent, inscribing Dao Marks."

Kong Guofeng nodded, revealing a slight expectation, "No other function?"

"According to my perception, no."

"It itself is a Divine Object formed by extremely intricate Spirit Patterns and Dao Marks, presumably the supreme product of Liu Cheyi’s Array Dao. Perhaps when I’m powerful enough, I can analyze many things from it, but its function is indeed only this one."

Upon hearing this, Kong Guofeng wasn’t disappointed at all; instead, his eyes flashed with an indescribable fervor and excitement— although he had predicted this... hearing Lin Guang’s words still filled him with intense exhilaration and appreciation.

"Good... very good!"

"The fact that this inheritance has only this function might be even better for you than something containing numerous techniques, Mystical Techniques, and miscellaneous abilities..."

"Because you don’t currently need to found a sect, and you’re not lacking in your own ability system. What you lack is precisely this most important, also the most fundamental thing."

Lin Guang also nodded.

Specializing in one path at the same level means this path is particularly strong.

"What’s the limit, can you sense it?"

At this moment, Kong Guofeng’s demeanor no longer seemed mature, even revealing the excitement and fervor appropriate to his youthful countenance, and he continued to ask.

The next moment, Lin Guang’s voice virtually resonated like thunder by his ear. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"It should not be a problem to inscribe the fourth Dao Mark before the provincial competition."

"As for my upper limit, it should be at least at least inscribing the sixth one, just that it might require a lot of time and resources."

"Moreover, it’s not so easily exhausted; at least for my own use, it’s completely sufficient, and perhaps when I’m familiar enough, I might even..."

Lin Guang glanced at the three girls beside him and said somewhat uncertainly.

"Use it for them, might even be possible?"

The three girls had little concept of this; they listened rather confusedly, but they could clearly feel the brilliance flashing in Kong Guofeng’s eyes.

In an instant, even a slight leakage of the aura and will of this True Man’s spirit occurred.

And this tiny bit triggered a tumultuous surge.

It was a sound wave on a spiritual level, almost like a flood or ocean, equivalent to a loud noise echoing in their hearts.

Clang——

However, before they could feel extreme pain, this sound was instantly smoothed out by the suddenly alert Kong Guofeng, transforming into a crisp, mind-soothing sound.

Ring-a-ling——

Kong Guofeng even took a deep breath.

Whether True Men need to breathe is still a matter of debate, but it clearly implied that even he was shocked: "This truly is..."

Even though the Seven-Star Miracle Master had given him some expectation after examining Lin Guang’s situation, Kong Guofeng still found it difficult to restrain his emotions.

An interesting fact, he himself only had two Dao Marks, equaling Lin Guang now.

His two Spirit Beasts each had only one, combining still less than Chelina.

If it weren’t for having a stable personality after obtaining True Intent, and the fact that such Divine Object inheritances are difficult to extract once refined— unless Lin Guang becomes a True Man—it would have reignited improper thoughts in him!

Lin Guang simply smiled and remained silent.

An upper limit of at least six Dao Marks means that after the Heart of Terra is fully repaired, he can still use this inheritance to continue evolving his talent.

Moreover, having just acquired the inheritance, he could only provide a cautious response relying on the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence and perception; in reality, he felt that this seemed far from the limit of the [Heaven Refining Acupoint].

"This truly is... as long as you cross this hurdle, your future..."

Although aware that Lin Guang’s situation wasn’t too favorable, Kong Guofeng still couldn’t suppress a look of anticipation.

So here’s the question.

Why is it that Kong Guofeng, as a seasoned True Man capable of influencing major events and gathering massive resources, with an awesome wealth, is left here only with envy and jealousy?

Because...

He can’t do it.

As is widely known, the evolution of talent equals a fundamental change in the essence of life and soul, and the number of Dao Marks represents the essence of life.

And being able to add a Dao Mark before the Sixtieth Level of the Celestial Gate is a dream of all geniuses aiming to become True Men.

In the Spirit Master’s system, Six-Star is a division from the mundane, an absolute qualitative leap, almost like a transition.

Every Dao Mark before Six-Star will have immense significance after Six-Star, allowing for a snowball effect, culminating in an avalanche-like explosion, affecting the ability to advance to higher levels and the future speed of cultivation.

Although it is possible to compensate after breaking through Six-Star and Tier Six, True Men and Beast Kings can rely on True Intent and True Body to inscribe Dao Marks for themselves.

However, the Profound Gate is irreversible, and once the foundation is set, it’s hard to change, requiring tenfold or a hundredfold cost.
