In truth, the training method based on Paths, which Dan had developed, was neither the only nor the absolute method, nor was it mandatory for the members of his family.
It was merely one tool among many, and a means rather than an end in itself. The only thing was that Dan wanted to provide his family with an organized and easy training method that would help them structure their development, direct their efforts, and avoid becoming scattered, but that did not mean this method was the best for everyone, as each person had a style suited to their own nature and goals.
Therefore, he left every member of his family free to choose whatever method they wanted, even if it was completely different.
For example, his eldest son, Sam, did not train according to the Path-based method he had designed, because his style was not specialization in a single field, but rather comprehensiveness.
He was the type of person who preferred to have a broad background in every field instead of becoming an expert in only one. Therefore, Sam trained for tens of thousands of years across the Outer Continent and the Tower without specializing in a single Path or achieving the title of King over one.
Instead, he moved between different fields, acquiring diverse skills and constantly broadening his horizons rather than focusing on building a single towering path. As a result, Sam became extremely versatile and capable of adapting to any situation, using any tool, and facing any opponent without having an obvious weakness or exploitable flaw.
This made him an extremely difficult opponent, because his movements could not be predicted, nor could his fighting style be anticipated, as he constantly changed his tactics.
Likewise, his daughter Hoshi, who was considered the smartest person in his family after him, did not specialize in a single Path when she entered the Inner World either, because she was fundamentally a universal scholar who researched every field and refused to limit herself to a single discipline.
She loved understanding everything, learning how every system worked, discovering the relationships between different sciences, and connecting the countless branches of knowledge.
This made her different from everyone who had come before her. She was not merely a fighter seeking power, but a researcher seeking knowledge. Every battle she fought represented a new experiment for her, every challenge she faced was an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding, and every enemy she defeated became a new source of information.
Therefore, her journey through the Inner World was one of the most beneficial journeys of all, and she could be considered one of the greatest beneficiaries of the Inner World journey. She raised her level in numerous fields to the highest heights, not only in combat, but also in science, the arts, technology, engineering, medicine, and everything imaginable.
This immense diversity was directly reflected in her strength, as she became capable of applying all this knowledge in battle and using it against her opponents, making her the most difficult person to face among the Walt family.
Thus, Hoshi could almost be considered the worst person anyone could ever choose as an enemy, because she had nearly limitless methods for dealing with any situation, no matter what it was.
This was especially true after she reached an extremely high level of power and acquired enough ability to withstand interacting with the Library of Wisdom, allowing her to access the knowledge contained within this enormous library.
The Library of Wisdom was not merely a collection of books or records, but a vast repository containing all the knowledge accumulated throughout the Inner World over the ages, from every culture, every era, and every kind of creature.
This greatly increased her strength and foundation, adding more and more techniques, ideas, and plans to her already vast arsenal. This was what made her unique within the entire family, and one of Dan's greatest achievements.
