"Good, good, good!"

Huai Shouren's right hand trembled twice, as if he wanted to summon his Spirit Beast, but upon seeing the amused expressions of the Jiang and Wang families, he forcibly restrained himself and sneered, "You'd better hope I don't see you in the Secret Realm of the final exams."

After saying that, Huai Shouren flicked his sleeves and left the Flame Turtle Secret Realm through a spatial rift.

The young masters and misses of the Jiang and Wang families also seemed to lose interest in watching any further drama. After giving Lin Guang a long look, they too turned and left the Secret Realm.

It was at this time that three Gale Eagles descended onto the nearby open ground, and Lv Rui, Lv Jiangxue, and Wu Zhiwen jumped down—their volcano seemed to be the furthest from here.

With the light provided by the "Sunny Day" above, the trio could clearly see Liu Buhui lying on the ground like a dead dog, the River-devouring Toad blown into a charred mess, and the murky Water Elf wrapped around him, whimpering anxiously.

"Hiss..."

Wu Zhiwen gasped, nudging Lv Jiangxue's arm lightly with his elbow, "You still plan to slap that one time you mentioned?"

"Heh." Lv Jiangxue rolled her eyes, with his current state, another slap might just be the end of him.

After joking around, Wu Zhiwen clicked his tongue in amazement. He looked at Lin Guang with disbelief and asked Lv Jiangxue beside him, "This junior of yours... is he really a first-year, not a repeating student? Two Spirit Beasts of Blue Elite Level, with not even considering attribute suppression, one is a Tier Two Spirit Beast!"

"Who repeats in the first year, Wu Zhiwen, have you finally gone foolish?"

"Ahem."

At this point, Lv Rui finally came back to her senses, but couldn't hide the shock on her face no matter how she tried, "He... his Contracted Spirit Beast is less than two months old."

Upon hearing this, Lv Jiangxue and Wu Zhiwen fell silent. It was a long while before Wu Zhiwen finally said, "Did he secretly awaken some super rare time-based talent in human history, like the famous [Eternal Moment] or [Celestial Light Illusion], where a day could be equivalent to a few days of an angel?"

"..."

This time, surprisingly, Lv Jiangxue didn't refute, as if she was seriously considering whether Lin Guang really had "opened up."

"If I had his talent. The Wu Family might send over some big figures to hug my thigh and beg me to return, totally like a script where the Dragon King makes a comeback." Wu Zhiwen mocked again.

"Stop spouting nonsense."

Lv Jiangxue shook her head, pulled Lv Rui forward, and sincerely said to Lin Guang, "Thank you, both Lv Rui and I owe you a big favor."

"Hey hey, you're not including me?" Wu Zhiwen widened his eyes and quickly came over, putting away his playful demeanor and earnestly said, "Honestly, I owe you a big favor too."

"You're welcome, you spoke up for me, of course I had to repay you."

Lin Guang shook his head with a smile, "By the way, judging by your looks, you all had quite a harvest?"

"Yes."

At the mention of this, even Lv Jiangxue's slightly cold face revealed obvious delight, "I comprehended a Two-Star Fire Attribute Spirit Pattern [Fire-Attracting], which can enhance both fire attribute Spirit Beasts and my own Perception and control over Fire Attribute Ether."

Lin Guang gave a slight nod, his eyes showing some admiration, and subconsciously said, "Two-star? Your foundation is indeed solid, you must have accumulated quite a few thoughts and insights normally."

"The way you say that, it sounds just like my teacher..."

"Ugh, I've been overshadowed by you again." Wu Zhiwen pouted with some dissatisfaction, "I got a One-Star Fire Attribute Spirit Pattern [Fire Spray], it only enhances the fire attribute attack skills of Spirit Beasts."

"But it's quite good, I feel touched, and the future road seems clearer in my eyes." Wu Zhiwen sighed.

— The so-called natural Spirit Patterns are essentially human perceptions of those magnificent scenes in nature.

Just like previously mentioned, a thousand people seeing the same scene might comprehend something different due to their distinct understandings, talents, cultural environments, and life experiences.

Rather than saying it's [natural], it's better to say it's [the nature understood by the Spirit Master themselves].

In other words, even if natural Spirit Patterns are low tier and immature, they entirely belong to the Spirit Master themselves.

These things will be greatly useful on the future road of a Spirit Master.

On the other hand, Lv Rui somewhat emotionally said, "I couldn't complete the depiction of a Spirit Pattern..."

Everyone was taken aback.

Before they could offer comfort, she solemnly continued, "However, my Huo'Er comprehended a new skill from the spectacle [Bath of Fire Shock]. Although it's still not mature, it currently holds nearly Blue Level power."

Hearing this, everyone looked at her with some surprise, even Lin Guang was a bit astonished, because the chance for a Spirit Beast to comprehend a skill from the "Heaven-Burning Water" is actually not high. For example, Vishdair gained nothing, and for a Green Excellent Level Spirit Beast to master a Blue Level skill at Tier One, it drastically increases the Fire Spirit Bird's strength.

"I understand." Lin Guang suddenly realized something and nodded slightly, "This is the same situation as Wang Dawei's back then. The Fire Spirit Bird's trait is [Blazing Zeal], which allows it to sense the Spirit Master's mood. It must have truly felt your recent gloomy status and wanted to prove its strength to you. With this intense zeal, it comprehended a skill in 'Heaven-Burning Water'.

After a pause, Lin Guang continued, "Although it's a bit delicate for me to say, victory and defeat are common events in military operations. Don't lose heart over a temporary win or loss. Besides, your partner hasn't given up yet; how can you easily admit defeat?"

Lv Rui turned her head to look at her partner, the little bird, which was now the size of a hawk, after two months. It held its head high and stared intently at Lv Rui, as if flames were burning in its eyes.

Closing her eyes, Lv Rui took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, the confusion in those eyes had been completely dispelled. Compelled by her emotions, she walked up to Lin Guang and bowed.

Upon rising, her tone had returned to its usual confidence and determination, "From now on, I'll work with Huo'Er to develop and perfect [Bath of Fire Shock]. I won't let you, or those who have expectations of me, down!"

Lv Jiangxue and Wu Zhiwen also bowed deeply to him in the same manner.

Lin Guang waved his hand, "No need to be so solemn."

"This is not exaggerated at all," Lv Jiangxue said with a serious expression. "My teacher told me that the earlier one comprehends the Natural Spirit Pattern, the better, as it helps Spirit Masters to clearly see their path early on, which is much better than correcting a deviation later."

"Moreover, the principal once inquired for me that the low-tier Fire Attribute spectacle controlled by Great Xia's authorities will not appear until after five years; the earliest is in three years at the secret realm controlled by a certain aristocratic family in Yumen Province."

"You've really helped me a lot."

"By the way, regarding the situation with Jiang Wanghuai's three families, is there really no problem?"

Wu Zhiwen looked a bit embarrassed, "I can't say anything in the Wu Family, and they probably won't give me face or negotiate for you."

"Thanks for the concern." Lin Guang looked into the distance, "I believe I understand that guy's character quite well."

"He's likely plotting against me in the joint exam in two months, scheming how to take substantial moves against me in the secret realm. Therefore, there's no need to fear his small private moves during this period."

"As for what will happen after the joint exam..."

Lin Guang displayed a meaningful smile, "You'll know by then."

By that time, the achievements on hand should start to blossom.

At that point, whether these families would offend themselves for an ordinary young master who isn't a heir candidate… it truly is something to look forward to.

"Uh..."

Wu Zhiwen hesitated slightly.

He initially wanted to ask Lin Guang what to do if targeted during the exam.

After all, in his original view, a commoner could never compete with the young lords and ladies who grew up surrounded by spiritual materials and various precious educational training.

But Lin Guang was far beyond his imagination.

Having achieved so many "impossibilities," overcoming the unintended consequences seemed not impossible at all.

On the other side.

Liu Buhui, lying on the ground, did not completely lose consciousness.

He watched as Huai Shouren turned away without any intention of helping but did not get up himself. He merely endured the severe pain all over his body, digging his fingers deep into the soil, with dirt filling even the gaps in his fingernails.

At this moment, the turmoil in his heart was even stronger than when he was defeated and tormented by Lin Guang, his eyes almost glaring to the breaking point.

How could it be... how could it be?!

That method and tool for triggering the spectacle were given to those three by Lin Guang?!

How could a commoner know such high-level secrets?

Is there someone behind him?

If... if I hadn't wanted to ingratiate the aristocratic families and gave face to Wu Zhiwen as a neighbor, would the other side have handed the tools and methods to trigger the spectacle to me too?

At this moment, Liu Buhui was truly regretting to the core.

However, Liu Buhui had not thought about one thing.

The reason he ended up in this situation, his eternally utilitarian thought process and way of doing things...

Is there no relation to that?
