Chapter 562: Chapter 254: Ancient Fear

The Tiger King Conference proceeded smoothly and methodically.

Other people’s major battles lasted on average only about ten to several dozens of minutes; the quickest ones were resolved in a single move.

The favorites to win, who had the lowest odds, all demonstrated dominating performances.

In every match, Themis used only the very common N-class and R-class modules to defeat his opponents.

Wei Miao was even more outrageous; she defeated all her opponents using just one overclock.

Similarly, Yak utilized just one move: a bone sword formed from the Activated Exoskeleton, to cleave through all his enemies.

But when it came to Tai Sui, the duration would spike dramatically.

His style was different from the rest.

He would start by sitting down cross-legged, asking his opponents how they wanted to lose.

And the crowd, initially not wanting to face Tai Sui, ended up hoping to be pitted against him.

Tiger, Mu Sha, and Kira, former Tiger Kings, showed everyone three different life paths.

Those who knew their limits just wanted a glimpse of the heavens.

Some harbored a desire to win, only to ultimately be crushed into the mire.

And those who knew they were powerless still did not take a single step back.

The Tiger who wanted to see the heavens ultimately achieved nothing, protecting the blade behind him, just hoping it could still be used later.

Mu Sha, crushed into the mire, eventually wished for death, mocking his own choices, crying over his audacity to even think of winning.

Kira, who did not retreat a single step, ultimately fell, but he surpassed himself and also surpassed his predecessors.

The bullet comments roared in enthusiastic cheers and heated discussions.

With Kira’s example, the audience mocked Mu Sha even more, but the aspiring Tiger Kings dared not laugh, seeing only the most arrogant versions of themselves in him.

Because Mu Sha was the only one among all who faced Tai Sui who genuinely wanted to win, he lost most miserably and collapsed at a certain moment.

The aspiring kings merely felt a pang of heartache.

In the past, it was nice to say that the strongest at the Tiger Level were R-class; crudely put, they could only circle within this tier.

The crowns they chased year after year were just leftovers the SSRs did not want.

And they, a group of R-class, could only ever circle within the Tiger Level, and now even this small plot of land was dominated by those geniuses’ halos.

So no one understood better than they why Mu Sha was so aggressive towards Tai Sui.

He wanted to prove that R-class, deemed ineligible for transformation, was actually the strongest, yet he was crushed in one battle, ultimately changing himself.

At that moment, the aspiring kings all thought, if they encountered Tai Sui, they would let him strike them down with a magnificent strike, at least ensuring a dignified defeat.

R-class was, in the end, R-class.

However, seeing Kira’s improvement, they suddenly realized something.

Realizing that some things were impossible wasn’t the end, they still needed to strive, because whether one improved depended on their past self, not on others.

Thus, more and more people gathered around Gao Xin, listening to his thoughts on innate talent.

Unknowingly, Gao Xin and Kira had finished discussing all they could about the innate powers of life.

Only to find that a crowd had gathered around them in layers.

Han Feng, unaware of their inner thoughts, said, "Brother Tai Sui, you are too amazing, truly a master, even able to stimulate others’ talents, they all crave your guidance."

But Gao Xin simply said, "What they crave isn’t my guidance, they crave a way out."

Kira hastily said, "Your guidance is my way out."

"I will never transform; each module I master brings me more power."

Gao Xin shook his head, "Who says R-class cannot transform?"

The crowd was shocked, "It’s always been this way, only SSRs can transform into dragons, only SRs can transmute...there has never been an exception."

Gao Xin said, "There is one."

"Who?" the crowd exclaimed in shock.

Gao Xin earnestly stated, "Me."

This left everyone baffled, Han Feng scratching his head said, "Brother Tai Sui, you are an SSR."

Gao Xin glanced at the distant Angel Envoy and spoke lightly, "If I say I’m just a man of glass, would you believe me?"

"Hahaha, Brother Tai Sui is joking." Everyone laughed, thinking Gao Xin was making a joke.

If he was a man of glass, what did that make them, monkeys?

Gao Xin gave a bitter smile, "In truth, everyone can keep breaking their own limits; radiation types, potential limits, are indeed walls, but ultimately they are not sheer cliffs."

As he said this, he looked toward the distant Themis.

But Themis showed no expression, leaving him also unsure of what to think.

Seeing that everyone was skeptical, Gao Xin just nodded slightly, not elaborating further. He still couldn’t prove this point, nor could he.

However, amid the crowd, Kira was profoundly affected.

Radiation types are indeed a wall, but ultimately not a cliff?

If anyone was most deeply affected by the impact of Heart Power in shaping one’s innate talents, it was him.

Of course, he still didn’t believe Gao Xin was a man of glass.

But he gained a different understanding: if Heart Power could stimulate the talent in modules, could R-class also adapt to SR, even SSR modules?

This isn’t a precedent of zero; consuming the brain of someone with a higher module has a chance to acquire higher modules.

As long as one has strong adaptability, no Heart Power is necessary to achieve this.

Since this is something objectively accomplishable, why not believe one can exchange for higher-level modules directly?

Why must one wait until they are blind to gain a talent for hearing?

The Silver Tower allows the exchange of various modules, all having a minimum radiation type requirement; it’s not that they won’t allow the exchange of higher modules, but rather, exchanging them would be lethal.

But what if one were to awaken a talent for Super-speed Regeneration, becoming a genius in it, and then go to the Silver Tower to exchange for this module, would they die then?
