On the battlefield.

At this moment, the White Illusion Phoenix and Fire Spirit Eagle were at their limit, almost collapsing from exhaustion—they were both Blue Elite Level Spirit Beasts, but ultimately their status wasn't ideal, and evolution couldn't directly refresh this status.

However, all of Huai Shouren's henchmen involuntarily stopped their attacks.

"Young Master Shouren lost...lost...?"

"How is it possible, a mere commoner, how could he defeat Young Master Huai? He must have cheated! He must be carrying some illegal high-tier Spiritual Artifact!"

"...Face the reality, I'm afraid Lin Guang has inherited something from a great power, we'd better run."

Their voices suddenly halted.

Just because Vishdair, after seeing off Huai Shouren, already turned and stared at them, his expression unfriendly.

Someone stammered nervously, "Wait, I..."

Vishdair, uninterested in listening to nonsense, directly pulled the trigger on them one by one.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, these individuals' silhouettes were engulfed in flames and transported out of the scene, leaving only one person standing slightly at a loss.

That person was He Shenghuang, who hadn't made a move the entire time.

Perhaps witnessing Lin Guang's victory in person and seeing this group of henchmen disappear on the spot, Wang Dawei's tightly wound spirit suddenly relaxed, a tidal wave of fatigue from the Sea of Spirit surged forward, causing him to collapse straight ahead, caught quickly by Lv Rui.

"Can you still hold on?"

Lin Guang quickly approached Wang Dawei, took out a Tier One potion that could swiftly replenish Spiritual Power, and administered it to him. The effect was immediate, the pain on Wang Dawei's face alleviated significantly. He raised his head, grinning broadly, giving Lin Guang a thumbs up before rolling his eyes and fainting from exhaustion.

The White Illusion Phoenix, now nearly 1.3 meters tall, landed beside Lin Guang and gently nudged him before moving next to Wang Dawei.

It looked at its Spirit Master, couldn't help but open its beak, and with a proud posture and a voice that wasn't human, carrying a unique bird's melodious tone, lightly said, "Silly."

But despite saying this, it still used its feathers to brush against his face, seemingly trying to wipe away the dirt on Wang Dawei's face.

Lin Guang couldn't help but say, "You bird... really haven't changed a bit."

Lv Rui walked over, couldn't restrain herself from reaching out to touch the White Illusion Phoenix. It wasn't unkind, permitting her to stroke it.

"...So beautiful, so it's a new evolutionary path, Lin Guang, was this also your handiwork?"

"Kind of, remember to keep it a secret for me... Oh, never mind, the paper will be published soon anyway."

Lin Guang's lips curled up slightly as he looked at her and the Fire Spirit Eagle, "Anyway, thanks for your support."

"You're being too polite." Lv Rui panted a few breaths and returned a smile, "Didn't we already agree to face the enemy together with you?"

Lin Guang seemed about to say something else when Lv Rui motioned with her mouth towards something behind him, "We're fine here. Your partner is still waiting for you, you know."

"..." After a moment of pause, Lin Guang nodded, "Okay, let's talk more later."

As Lin Guang turned and left, he didn't notice the fleeting loneliness and helplessness in Lv Rui's eyes.

The silver-haired girl with a tired yet excited expression returned to Lin Guang's side, raised her hand towards him, and Lin Guang responded with a smile, their two palms crossing in the air.

Pa!

After a brief pause, Lin Guang raised his hand and touched Lisa's small head, which, although showing no apparent injury, was still very tense. Of course, he wouldn't treat anyone less favorably.

"Lisa, you did very well too."

The fox ears atop the girl's head trembled slightly, and she softly said, "Did I really help?"

He crouched down gently, meeting those big turquoise eyes with his gentle gaze, "Of course, if it weren't for your skilled use of strong mental thoughts, we wouldn't have been able to restrain the Blue Fiend Lizard and achieve victory so smoothly."

"Moreover, aren't you our secret weapon?"

Hearing Lin Guang's voice, Lisa's taut expression seemed to relax slightly, though her grip on the magic staff tightened.

"Uh... Uh!!"

After comforting Lisa, Lin Guang suddenly straightened up and turned his head, directing his gaze toward He Shenghuang.

He Shenghuang's eyes narrowed, but he didn't back down.

Lin Guang stared at him.

Even amidst the fierce battle just now, he could slightly pay attention to the situation here, thus he clearly saw He Shenghuang's abnormal behavior.

He Shenghuang did not attack Wang Dawei and Lv Rui.

So, when Vishdair wanted to eliminate him, he was stopped by Lin Guang.

Although he didn't know why He Shenghuang acted this way after joining Huai Shouren's camp, this behavior undoubtedly saved him once.

"You can go."

Under He Shenghuang's somewhat complicated gaze, Lin Guang slowly spoke, his tone indifferent.

"After repairing myself, I will head toward the mountaintop. Go and tell Wang Feng and Jiang Xinyue, on this mountaintop, I will give them an opportunity, a chance to challenge me together."

He Shenghuang was stunned: "What?!"

His eyes stared into the void, as if focusing on something others couldn't see: "If you don't want to be defeated by me, a commoner, one by one, then stop pointless infighting, come at me together."

Even after witnessing Lin Guang's stunning performance just now, all the Spirit Masters present who could hear him were in an uproar.

"What? This kid is crazy?!"

An elder from the Jiang family laughed angrily: "Let Xinyue and Wang family kid join forces to fight him? Such arrogance! Has he lost his mind?!"

"I admit his previous performance was indeed stunning, and like Huai Shouren, his extreme offense restrains Xinyue's combat technique, in a normal encounter he does have a considerable chance of winning, but it still wouldn't exceed fifty percent!"

"If we count the Wang family kid, it's even more impossible!"

"Ridiculous!"

An elderly woman scolded: "I admit he has some strength, and luck by his side, contracting a Purple Legendary Level Magical Beast, along with several True Intent Inheritances, but even so, he thinks he can overcome our family's nearly century-old accumulation? Does he really think our family is easy to bully?"

"This child is just seeking his own humiliation."

Even Kong Guofeng frowned slightly upon hearing this, though he didn't speak, inwardly he wondered how Lin Guang could be so reckless.

Huai Risheng laughed heartily, as if he had anticipated this scene.

"As expected! As expected indeed! Contracted two Magical Beasts, even before reaching Low-Star had mastered several True Intent Inheritances, all from various formidable practitioners' Scattered Hand Techniques, how could it come without a price?!"

At this moment, Lin Guang, still staring into the void, fixed his gaze and blasted the brilliant Starlight, only visible to himself, into that crystal clear crystal.

No doubt, exerting all-out effort in battle skyrocketed the progress bar, directly gaining two Star Shards, plus recent training and the accumulation of killing Magical Beasts over three days, Lin Guang had another 10 Star Shards on hand, synthesizing one Starlight.

If at this moment, Lin Guang invests this Starlight into a talent that could bring immediate combat power, he had no doubt he could trounce the geniuses of the Wang and Jiang families, but after a moment's thought, he abandoned the idea.

Because even without investing in combat abilities, as long as this Starlight is consumed, the upcoming self would be enough to defeat them.

Therefore, Lin Guang invested the Starlight into the[Holy Secret Text·Front], which is a talent capable of changing fate.

Closing his eyes, Lin Guang swiftly digested the incoming memories and experiences.

Since the[Holy Secret Text]was of the same origin, the scenes were almost the same as the previous two times, he quickly digested it all.

But he still kept his eyes closed.

Because Lin Guang knew, the big moment was about to happen.

Every three Starlights invested would upgrade the corresponding core talent by one level.

And this meant that, at this very moment, one of the most critical three core talents, the "Power of Whole Heart and Soul," was about to be upgraded.

Silently, a sudden change occurred in his Sea of Spirit.

The crystal in the center of the Sea of Spirit once again emitted a white light, with incredible power, started to remodel his Sea of Spirit.

In an instant, an inexplicable majestic aura began to rise from within Lin Guang's body, as if something huge had finally awakened inside him.

Foremost, He Shenghuang and Lv Rui's pupils suddenly shrank, feeling a wordless pressure emanating from the boy in front of them—as the ground beneath him suddenly began to tremble, pebbles slightly jumped, dust rose, and invisible ripples spread, sweeping across the ground.

He abruptly opened his eyes.

In an instant, in this open space that had lost its Sunny Day and returned to darkness, it was as if a flash of lightning cut through, resembling daylight.

Out of nothing, it became white!
