The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 517 - 440: Victory

As long as you follow what was done in the past.

Just follow the arrangements.

But at this moment, he suddenly had an indescribable impulse.

For the first time in the entire competition, or even the entire state tournament, he spoke out on the field.

"What are you... saying?"

"What am I saying?"

Lin Guang’s gaze suddenly sharpened as he stared at him intensely.

In an instant, the rotating shadow of the Black Crown above his head grew more solid, and the dark golden Spiritual Power was almost overflowing.

Meanwhile, a layer of mist rose on the bright light behind Jiang Nalan, like a mirror, with flickers of water shadows deep in his azure eyes.

Their Spiritual Powers clashed again.

Thus, Lin Guang saw the essence of Jiang Nalan.

Just as he suspected...

It was a blank slate.

His soul was like a pure mirror, reflecting the will of the Jiang Family ancestors, carrying the family’s expectations, but... lacked his own self.

Lin Guang’s expression did not change.

Because he had long anticipated it.

The Water Shadow Heart and Heart of Terra were indeed somewhat similar, both absorbing and replicating information from the outside world.

They were perhaps akin to containers.

And their destinies seemed somewhat alike.

Jiang Nalan had been cultivated as a vessel for Jiang Buxi from a young age.

While Lin Guang had already become a vessel for the will within the Source Stone.

But...

"But you and I are not the same."

This was a declaration.

Jiang Nalan’s sealing gesture paused.

"Don’t understand?"

The Galaxy was gradually sliced by the Sword Tide, water sprays soared to the sky, silver points of light attempted to gather but failed under unparalleled swift swords and strikes, revealing the painful shadow of the Fish Dragon within.

The Galaxy suddenly halted and returned to Jiang Nalan’s side, exposing the Fish Dragon’s body covered in sword scars, rapidly healing—even shedding bits of Source Stone fragments.

It clutched the Surge Core like a Dragon Pearl, watching Lin Guang and Chelina warily.

The muscles on Jiang Nalan’s expressionless face twitched slightly.

For him, the situation was progressing toward the worst scenario.

The True Intent and Domain were becoming more sluggish.

The destructive power of the Otherworldly Catastrophe was immense, making his thoughts seem as if they were crystallizing and coming to a halt.

But it wasn’t just the Otherworldly Catastrophe interfering with his operations; the true lethal threat was the embryonic form of Lin Guang’s Intention, endlessly cutting through the inconsistencies between the Mystical Technique and True Intent within the Sword Intent.

Forget about the Domain, even the Mystical Technique was about to come to a standstill.

At this moment, he finally understood that now it was useless to try and mend the Domain or expel the Otherworldly Catastrophe within.

Being besieged on two fronts meant losing on both.

If he didn’t fully empower the Fish Dragon, but instead distracted himself by mending the Domain, the situation would worsen.

"You have accepted others’ will, becoming that person’s agent, but I do not wish to exist as a container. That’s our biggest difference."

Chelina’s Sword Light halted, and Lin Guang took a deep breath, clasping his hands at his chest suddenly raising his right hand above his head, forming a fist.

The two assumed a posture that many True Men present were extremely familiar with.

The opening stance of the Mystical Technique, Silent Drizzle, which had slain the Demon God Qing Yueyang.

—This move had previously not been used out of caution toward Jiang Nalan’s countermeasures, now it seemed likely related to some ability concerning True Intent and Domain.

But now the Domain was about to break.

Then, there was nothing more to worry about.

Within Lin Guang’s eyes, Intention burned fiercely.

This move would determine the victor.

At this moment, Jiang Nalan also raised his hand again, ignoring the Domain that was crumbling bit by bit.

Silver brilliance shone once more, and the Fish Dragon transformed into a massive Galaxy, churning vast volumes of water, crashing towards him.

Lin Guang raised his right thumb and forefinger, and two indescribable, silent, and colorless Sword Lights shot out quietly.

The Galaxy paused, cut open into two waves.

The Sword Lights, undiminished in momentum, pierced through the waves, stabbed into the outer wall of the Domain, and a crystalline fishbowl-like wall spread with a web-like crack, with water beginning to seep out.

It wasn’t just the clash of Mystical Techniques; he was taking advantage of Jiang Nalan’s distraction to forcibly sever his True Intent and Domain, completely dismantling his chances of retaliation!

His voice, accompanied by the Sword Light, charged out of the Domain: "Talent is merely traces of the past; the True Intent and Memories of predecessors are the same."

"One may cherish the past, but should not be confined by it alone."

"If you cannot understand this point, you will always be a mere replication of Jiang Buxi."

As soon as he finished speaking, he extended his middle finger, and a third Sword Light followed closely.

The Galaxy paused again, parts of the water body disintegrated.

Another crack appeared in response, with more water gushing out, forming several tiny waterfalls along the "fishbowl" wall.

"No matter how strong, the Jiang Family can only recreate a Jiang Buxi, a Seven-Star Peak Master, not even reaching Eight-Star Spirit Master status."

His words, accompanied by that extremely mocking gesture, made Jiang Wencha on the Floating Immortal Island almost furious.

However, most of the response was laughter from the True Men.

"Good! Good! Good boy!!"

The voice of the Ethereal True Man came from within the giant bear puppet, almost overjoyed.

Even Yin Tianxing’s dragon face showed a slight smile.

—Not yet Eight-Star?

With so many Seven-Star Peaks present.

You really dare to say it, kid.

But it is true...

Having personally slain the Demon King Qing Yueyang and now pushing Jiang Nalan’s Domain to the brink of collapse, Lin Guang perhaps truly has the right to say this.

Perhaps foreseeing something, the True Men on the Floating Immortal Island all wore expressions of irrepressible anticipation and excitement.
