In the high sky, Huai Risheng suddenly stopped his laughter, as if his throat had been cut off, and the Spirit Masters from the three great families below also halted their voices, as silent as cicadas in winter.

"This is...?" There was unstoppable astonishment in Huai Risheng's voice.

As a True Man, even if he wasn't specialized in perceptive abilities, he naturally could see that, in the recent battle, Lin Guang, even if not exerting himself fully, had used at least eighty percent of his strength, but now the aura he was emitting was much stronger than it had been at the peak of the battle.

This is definitely not True Intent Implantation. If it were the use of someone else's True Intent Inheritance, the aura different from Lin Guang himself could not possibly be unnoticed right under their noses.

Then, there's only one explanation.

Kong Guofeng also flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes, thought for a moment like he realized something, and couldn't help but say: "Do you remember Yin Long from Li Hai City?"

"You mean... this kid's talent is somewhat like Rising Dragon Transformation, acquiring a permanent enhancement after defeating enemies?"

Rising Dragon Transformation, a Purple Grade talent, serial number 111, its effect is a comprehensive superior of Dragon's Heart, possessing the ability to grow stronger with every battle, the stronger the opponent, the greater the progress, reaching the peak, the talent enhancement can almost contend with a Golden Level talent, its downside is if one deems themselves defeated, they will lose all ground gained, even suffering from severe internal injuries and a broken Taoist heart, a very powerful, but also very dangerous talent.

"That seems to be the case, after all, it's a talent not registered on the rolls, probably the True Man from the Experimental School saw this potential and guided his cultivation."

Suddenly, Kong Guofeng laughed, "It seems, he is not intoxicated by victory, but very much awake, wanting to seize this rare opportunity, to use the geniuses of the three great families as stepping stones to elevate his own 'momentum' even further."

"For a Blue Talent, this kind of progress is absolutely not ordinary, who knows how long he has been accumulating for this moment? It's even possible he has reached his limit."

After a moment of silence, Huai Risheng snorted coldly, a gleam of cold light flickered in his eyes, proving he wasn't as indifferent to victory or defeat as he pretended: "To accumulate momentum, he must actually win, mistakingly trying to bite off more than he can chew, without choking himself."

Kong Guofeng just smiled slightly, noncommittally: "Let's just watch."

...

On the ground, He Shenghuang finally recovered from that aura, although he didn't understand how Lin Guang could suddenly erupt, he understood that the latter's act of challenging the two was not out of madness.

In the months since he transferred to Eighth Middle School, He Shenghuang had been doing quite well, relying on his father's and school's resources to evolve his Thunder Bull into a Blue Elite Level Thunder Wild Bull, becoming undoubtedly the big brother of the upper grade, being greeted wherever he went.

Later, his father used connections at the trading post to introduce him to the young master of the Huai family, the latter agreed to take care of him in the joint exam, to help him score and fly high, but he never expected the Huai family's young master to be knocked down so hard.

He Shenghuang would never have thought that this once stepping stone in his eyes would continuously surprise everyone, creating one miracle after another.

His father would surely be disappointed… While He Shenghuang's heart was filled with bitterness, a hint of relief passed through his mind.

After the Thunder Bull evolved into the Thunder Wild Bull, his father had specially bought a Purple Grade Skill Crystal, supplemented by expensive potions and renowned teacher guidance, finally enabling Thunder to master the skill Celestial Beetle Disintegration.

Using this skill grants a Spirit Beast exceptionally powerful strength for a short time, but in return suffers almost irreparable heavy injuries afterwards, in other words, a permanent significant drop in all attributes, almost impossible to remain as a main Spirit Beast.

Huai Shouren also probably saw that this skill might be of help in a critical moment, hence he agreed to take him along.

Earlier, when blocked by Wang Dawei, if He Shenghuang had immediately commanded Thunder Wild Bull to activate the skill, he could have eliminated Wang Dawei and rushed to support Huai Shouren, but he had some hesitation in his heart.

Upon introspection, He Shenghuang felt he would ultimately follow his father's instructions and activate the skill, but who would have imagined Huai Shouren would lose so quickly, not leaving him even a moment's hesitation.

Forget it…

He Shenghuang took a deep breath.

At this time, Lin Guang had already retracted his gaze, casually brushing off the silver-haired girl's hand that was curiously poking at him due to the mysterious surge of aura, and also eased the worried Lisa who approached.

With one last deep look at Lin Guang, He Shenghuang turned, mounted the Thunder Wild Bull, and left the place.

—He was going to deliver a message for Lin Guang.

...

The battle with Huai Shouren left the three with no injuries.

Lin Guang and Lisa, who supported from afar, didn't need much said, just somewhat exhausted and a bit tired.

And Vishdair, who took the front line, gained comprehensive attribute enhancement due to Beast Soul possession, plus the combat intuition and experience honed in her mercenary career, she hadn't let the Sea Mist Shark land a direct hit, always using her Explosion Fist to collide with the opponent, retreating unscathed from such fierce attacks and defenses.

Only her hands looked somewhat battered, appearing somewhat terrifying.

Lin Guang carefully treated her wounds, applying the quick-acting advanced healing medicine from a treasure chest, which healed completely in a few minutes, leaving not even a scar.

The surrounding Magical Beasts were cleared out by Huai Shouren, and with the aura emitted from the recent battle, likely no Magical Beasts would disturb them for quite some time. The group rested on the spot after using various supplies and potions.

Lv Rui and Wang Dawei leaned against their Spirit Beasts, quickly falling asleep.

Before resting, Lin Guang used the Corrective Meridian Opening Technique to help Vishdair and Lisa relax their muscles and alleviate fatigue—of course, since there was an outsider around, he didn't go all out.

After finishing, he found a big tree, cleared the ground, sat cross-legged below, holding the Daoist School Badge gifted by Hua Bo, and closed his eyes to meditate.

Lisa mimicked him, sitting on his right side, also beginning to use the meditation skill to maximize the absorption of her supplies, quickly recovering her energy and ether.

As for his other side, Vishdair, fed and watered, leaned against his shoulder, sleeping peacefully.

...

About a few hours later, everyone was fully awake.

The supplies from the Purple Supply Box indeed had abnormally strong effects, Lisa and Vishdair were already in full peak condition, even Wang Dawei and Lv Rui, who only got a few bites of the advanced supplies, had almost fully recovered most of their combat power.

Lin Guang prepared to continue ascending the mountain.

Before leaving, he tried inviting Wang Dawei and Lv Rui to continue up the mountain, but both declined.

The reason was simple.

The higher they go, the higher the level and strength of Magical Beasts, for the two, it's quite sufficient to stay and rack up points by supporting Lin Guang at times during his inevitable battles with the remaining enemies on the mountain.

Since Huai Shouren, who had shown hostility towards Lin Guang, was already eliminated, they didn't wish to be left as burdens on him.

After not forcing further, he took the black Hook Jade that hadn't been transported away with Huai Shouren and cleaned the ground under a big tree.

He made his preparations, attempting to use the Corrective Meridian Opening Technique to fully relax Vishdair, and relieve her of fatigue at most—of course, as there were outsiders around, he didn't pay full attention to it.

Afterwards, he found a big tree, cleaned the ground, sat close, and opened a quick recovery potion, fully digesting his intake of energy and ether before rest.

On the other side, Lisa, having eaten and drunk enough, was leaning against his shoulder, already peacefully asleep.

...

A few hours passed, but for the group, the difficulty remained insignificant.

Looking up from afar, shrouded in thick black clouds at the mountain top, radiating an ominous feeling, it almost obscured the gigantic blood moon in the sky, while the bone-chilling wind carried slight dampness.

Lisa tightened her grip on the magic staff with some confusion: "I don't see any Magical Beasts at all..."

Lin Guang nodded: "Yes, because we are almost there."

Just as he expected, the closer they got to the summit, the fewer Magical Beasts there were, to the point where half a day passed without a single sighting of one.
