131: Chapter 131 Support Group

Being a True Spirit Professional is inherently a process of shedding the mundane, removing impurities, and developing towards perfection.

The stronger their power, the more their inherent aura as a True Spirit Professional allows others to immediately perceive their extraordinary nature.

This process is very slow; normally, noticeable changes and differences only appear at the Legendary Rank.

Fang Yuan, who had just broken through to Gold Rank, perhaps due to devouring the Origin of monsters, had already undergone a tremendous transformation in his body, which led to the change in his physical appearance and temperament.

Before this, he gave others the impression of a very ordinary, calm young man, difficult to spot in a crowd.

Now, if he were placed in a crowd again, he would likely be one of those who particularly attract others' attention; people would be drawn to him at first glance.

Recently, not only did the few people beside him look at him with a somewhat strange gaze, but even when he walked outside, pedestrians would always unconsciously glance at him.

Fang Yuan, who originally intended to keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious, felt somewhat helpless about this; such changes made it difficult for him to avoid being noticed.

Gu Yue, who had upgraded to Gold Rank Two just like him, hadn't undergone many changes herself, but she already possessed a great deal of charm.

Even with Fang Yuan's improved demeanor, placed next to her, most people would probably only look at her, not him.

He was just an ordinary person; even if his temperament had improved slightly, he still couldn't compare to the naturally beautiful Gu Yue... "Ah, I really wish this Void Realm Instance was effective for Gold Rank Professionals."

As the last day arrived, and they were about to step onto the teleportation array to return to Heaven's Capital, Lin Zhizhi looked back with reluctance.

Over the past month, all four members of Squad had achieved their desired results, with Fang Yuan and Gu Yue even advancing to Gold Rank Two.

Li Xuefei, a Gold Talent holder, had also broken through to Gold Rank about ten days prior, becoming a powerful True Spirit Professional comparable to Gold Rank Three.

Lin Zhizhi herself only managed to break through on the second to last day; although it was a bit late, she was very satisfied to have broken through to Gold Rank.

After this trip, Squad of four had made huge gains, all of them breaking through two major Ranks.

...The teleportation array is about to activate, hurry up and get on.

Among them, only Thank Rain, who was originally the strongest, had the smallest gain, only breaking through from Silver Rank Five to Silver Rank 10.

Breaking through three Ranks had achieved her goal before coming, which should have been a happy occasion, but with the comparison to the other four, Thank Rain couldn't smile.

To this day, she finally understood what a Heaven-Defying existence a Genius was, leveling up constantly, completely defying common sense.

As soon as these words were spoken, the teleportation array emitted a beam of light, officially activating and teleporting dozens of people away.

In the teleportation channel, Thank Rain wore a slight smile, responsibly leading the four members of Squad. She was somewhat envious of them, but as someone who actively took initiative, she had also gained something during this month.

Now she was Squad's logistics personnel.

After such a long time together, both intentionally and unintentionally, Thank Rain's relationships with Li Xuefei and Lin Zhizhi rapidly warmed, turning them into close friends.

Finally, at Thank Rain's suggestion, Li Xuefei decided to expand her team, not by recruiting more squad members, but by recruiting some logistics personnel.

After reaching Gold Rank, Li Xuefei gained a deeper understanding of Professionals, realizing that the number of people was not the standard for measuring a team's strength.

Later on, only squad members with powerful Talent, at least Silver Rank Talent, were barely useful.

The further along one went, the more important Talent became. For example, Lin Zhizhi, despite breaking through to Gold Rank right after, her future growth would inevitably be limited by her Bottleneck.

As time passed, due to her Talent, she would fall behind Fang Yuan, Li Xuefei, and others, unable to keep up with them.

Having a deep understanding of these various aspects, she no longer even wanted people with Silver Rank Talent.

It was precisely while Li Xuefei was lost in thought that Thank Rain, at an opportune moment, brought up the role of Squad's logistics personnel.

In the Human Alliance, teams with a large number of members are generally only suitable for ordinary people.

Prodigies with Gold Rank Talent, for example, often do not team up with others, as no one submits to anyone else; Prodigies do not want to be one of someone else's squad members.

Even if a team is formed, it would be difficult to scale due to the scarcity of people with powerful Talent.

One can't always be alone, can they? People have a strong sense of honor, and most Prodigies want others to look up to them.

Under various constraints, the Alliance developed a model where a powerful Genius (or a powerful squad) leads a large Support Group.

The former possesses formidable strength, capable of easily hunting powerful monsters, providing a strong backing for the latter.

The latter, in turn, performs miscellaneous tasks for the former, leveraging the former's powerful strength to seek benefits for themselves. At the same time, this is also a form of alternative investment for them, becoming the Support Group for an individual (or squad), waiting for him (or Squad) to grow; these Support Groups will inevitably gain some advantages.

This model has been verified multiple times; many Support Groups for powerful Gold Rank Talent and even Transcendent True Spirit Talent have a much higher probability of breaking through to Gold Rank or even Legendary Rank than people with equivalent Talent.

As a Support Group develops, it will essentially transform into a force exclusively for their supported object.

Building a powerful force can also provide support to oneself; individual strength is ultimately limited, and hundreds or even thousands of people, their combined strength is not small, at least it can provide them with help.

A belonging force is also of considerable help to a strong person, hence many Prodigies with Gold Rank Talent choose to form Support Groups.

As for Silver Rank Talent holders who wish to form a Support Group, they are only qualified if they are very wealthy or possess exceptionally powerful Talent, much stronger than ordinary Silver Talent.

Otherwise, with such mediocre Talent, even if a Support Group is formed, no one would follow... Under Thank Rain's various explanations about Support Groups, Li Xuefei quickly became interested, and thus, Thank Rain became the leader of Squad's Support Group.

It wasn't just her; Thank Rain was an Alliance staff member and knew many sisters who hadn't joined a Support Group. According to her, she intended to bring them in.

As someone who cared for her friends, especially knowing that someone in Squad possessed a Transcendent True Spirit Talent, her first thought was to bring them in.

Becoming the support for a Transcendent True Spirit Talent Holder is the pursuit of countless Alliance members; such a Prodigy has a high probability of achieving Epic War God.

Following such a person, not to mention breaking through to Legendary Rank, one could at least reach Gold Rank Peak, and Legendary Rank is not impossible.

If it were just Li Xuefei, a Gold Rank Talent holder, Thank Rain probably wouldn't have too many thoughts.

Gold Rank Talent is not uncommon in the Human Alliance, and given her conditions, joining a particular Support Group would not be difficult...
