227: Realm and talent

“Oh my god!”

Ye Kuang’s face changed drastically, instantly contorting with a grimace, and he quickly covered himself and turned to run, only stopping when he reached a desolate area.

Finally, he leaned against a tree, looked around, and pulled up his pants.

After he finished, he cursed Xiao Fan, calling him an old dog with despicable methods, but he also wondered when his injury would heal. His voice had become a bit sharp lately.

However, he had been in a good mood recently, his emotions completely normal, because the Divine Dragon Power in his body seemed to have developed a psychological shadow and dared not emerge for a short time.

Otherwise, if he had been so embarrassed before, he would have long been furious, and his Divine Dragon Power would have exploded.

Standing in the woods, Ye Kuang took a deep breath of fresh air, yawned, and thought with a smile, that this was actually not bad.

It was just that his character setting seemed to have gone awry; how had he become somewhat comical?

But he really couldn’t get angry, nor did he want to be angry.

Comical it is, then.

However, on second thought, that guy who looked quite young just now was truly terrifyingly strong!

That Sword Intent was too vast; if it had cut his flesh instead of his clothes, he would definitely have been dead.

In other words, the other party could instantly kill him!

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, his Realm had already reached Martial Venerable, much higher than his own, and his talent was Myth-Grade, the same as his.

Martial Dao Realms are divided into Martial Apprentice, Martial Artist, Martial Warrior, Little Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Martial Venerable, Martial Saint, Martial God, and Martial Emperor.

Currently, the Super God Class are all Little Grandmasters, and Ying Zheng and Xi He still need one or two months to break into Great Grandmaster; their overall strength is two full major Realms behind the other party!

The increase brought by each minor Realm is not significant; under the same talent, there is only a noticeable difference when there is a gap of two or more minor Realms.

But a major Realm is different; that is a complete qualitative change.

A person's strength, speed, Physical Body strength, elemental concentration, all increase exponentially in all aspects, and the higher the Realm, the more terrifying the increase.

Talent is not just about ability; Myth-Grade talents normally have higher basic indicators than Divine-Grade ones.

The reason Lin Xianhuo was still judged to be Divine-Grade talent even without a special fire seed before was because all her basic indicators, including her affinity for fire elements, met the Divine-Grade standard.

Furthermore, during the tempering of Sun Fire later, not only did she gain a Myth-Grade fire seed, but her own basic indicators also improved in that Legacy, reaching the standard for a normal Myth-Grade.

This is actually a very Heaven-Defying thing, which is why Demon War God was so smug.

Throughout history, apart from the “Awakening” method, few people have been able to use other means to improve their talent in the Acquired stage.

Lin Xianhuo truly had an explosive Opportunity, because her improvement relied on the Legacy of Emperor Wu Tianhong. As for how Emperor Wu Tianhong managed to improve others' talents, perhaps only some living fossils who were close to Emperor Wu Tianhong back then would know.

Therefore, Myth-Grade not only have special abilities, but they are also naturally faster and jump higher than you!

This also allows them to currently rely on their super strong talent to fight Great Grandmasters with insufficient talent by crossing Realms!

But!

Upon reaching Great Grandmaster, they might not be able to fight Martial Venerables with insufficient talent.

Talent might bring a greater gap, but these gaps are actually narrowed under the qualitative change of a major Realm.

Because Martial Venerable and Great Grandmaster are a huge watershed.

The most critical reason why no one thought highly of Xiao Fan back then was that talent determined the upper limit!

This upper limit refers to the most direct Realm upper limit.

To this day, among the Human Race, only Divine-Grade and Myth-Grade can break into the Martial Emperor Realm; quasi-Divine-Grade can only be stuck at Martial God, Saint-Grade and quasi-Saint-Grade can reach Martial Saint at most, and Venerable-Grade would be thankful to reach Martial Venerable.

Why is it said that one-star talent to nine-star talent is used to define ordinary people? Because their highest Realm can only reach Great Grandmaster.

The two Realms of Great Grandmaster and Martial Venerable represent the most direct talent gap.

Of course, there is also a strength gap!

Because the five major Realms before Martial Venerable can be supported by consuming Source Fluid.

But for a Great Grandmaster to break into Martial Venerable, some special means and Opportunities are required; these will be discussed later.

The composition of each person's combat power, from top to bottom, is Realm, talent ability, Physical Body strength, elemental strength (including Emperor Power, Divine Dragon Power, etc.), and finally special means (including Intent, etc.).

The reason Physical Body strength ranks before elemental strength is the experience summarized by the Human Race and alien races after so many years of warfare.

Elements are often restricted by various means, for example, Ying Zheng in this training camp, his Emperor Power was suppressed by his opponent's Universal Equality. If he had strong enough Physical Body strength at that time, it would also be a way to break the situation.

Another example is Xi He, whose talent was Sealed in Tianlei City; if she had a strong enough Physical Body at that time, it would have been impossible for Xiao Fan to shatter her Physical Body.

Furthermore, there are also mutual restraint characteristics between elements!

But Physical Body strength does not; for example, Wukong, he directly shattered the virtual mustard seed with brute force, and after coming out, he actually injured three people.

When Chen Changsheng told Xiao Fan that elemental power was important, it was because Xiao Fan had a special talent and could absorb multiple elements, and was not afraid of being countered.

But in the outside world, the more common saying is—the end of Martial Dao is close combat!

Therefore, the combat style of elemental entanglement around the Physical Body also emerged!

In people's eyes, Xiao Fan's Demon King Armor is a classic example of elemental entanglement around the Physical Body, and because it is an entanglement after elemental conflict, it is not just classic, but a classic among classics.

Currently, not many people in the Super God Class have mastered this combat style, but they are still young.

Although talent can be measured at seven years old, the golden period for Cultivating Martial Dao is still from twelve to fifty years old. Although longevity increases with higher Realms, it does not extend this golden period.

Because before the age of twelve, children are still in a period of rapid development; their internal organs, bones, and flesh are still unstable. Several hundred years ago, there were often accidents where children started Cultivating before the age of twelve and ended up crippling themselves.

So, in the time before Cultivation, parents' task is to give their children nourishing tonics every day to ensure their bodies grow well!

This is why Xiao Fan started Cultivating on the mountain at twelve, and Ouyang Guanyue went to Shanhai Pass at twelve.

In other words, up to now, the people in the Super God Class have only Cultivated for about five years, and they still have thirty-three years of the golden period.

Ouyang Guanyue, on the other hand, has had ten years, exactly double their time, so it's natural he is strong!

Demon War God's generation are all striving to break into Martial Emperor before the age of fifty. They are on average forty-eight, with only two years left.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have gotten married and had children so young; General Jiang Shenyi only found a wife when he was over a hundred years old.

But at that time, Chen Changsheng said that the world was changing, and the Human Race was about to have great luck!

He urged them to get married and have children quickly, saying their talent would definitely be very high. Then everyone saw that the Ouyang family had given birth to Ouyang Guanyue, a Myth-Grade, early on, so they started to try.

And the result was indeed so.

However, unexpectedly, the alien races next door also seemed to have had great luck, with the number of Emperor Blood-level powerhouses born being similar to the number of Myth-Grade among the Human Race.
