Without a doubt.

After the joint exams, Lin Guang became famous.

Throughout the streets and alleys of Zhen Sheng City, and even on the city's network, people were talking about Lin Guang's achievements.

The three major families, which take two to three decades to nurture a new batch of geniuses destined for greatness, even possibly reaching the Realm of the True Master, were successively defeated by a previously little-known civilian — even two of them were eliminated under besieged circumstances.

The last person to achieve such feats was over sixty years ago, known as Hua Bo, the strongest Daoist School Leader in Fenghai Province.

For ordinary people, many secrets are unknown. They aren't familiar with the ecosystem and various strengths of High-Star Spirit Masters, but that doesn't prevent them from drawing an understandable conclusion.

In the future, Lin Guang might also very well become a figure that Zhen Sheng City can be proud of, just like Hua Bo.

Some enthusiasts even dug out videos of the Vishdair exchange competition and the training center battle with the top student Liu Zhiyong.

While some people earnestly analyzed Lin Guang's talents and Vishdair's skills and traits, others focused on Lin Guang's appearance and his two beautiful maiden partners — even though Lisa didn't leave any battle recordings at public events, many had seen her figure.

In a short time, there was indeed a trend of searching for "Terra Beautiful Maiden," but it came and went quickly.

Upon learning that creatures from Terra have a high probability of carrying a deadly contracted disease and causing abnormal mental states, the majority quickly calmed down, and the few who weren't afraid couldn't even find any traces of the Terra people, only hearing some unfounded rumors.

After all, the distribution, quantity, and existence of colonies of Terra people in this world remain a mystery unknown to the public.

Regardless, this surge in popularity certainly caused some trouble for Lin Guang. In the two days after the exams, a group of opportunistic journalists and online celebrities gathered at the entrance of his neighborhood, but Lin Guang didn't want to waste his time there.

Moreover, with the seven-day exams equivalent to the end of the semester, although the school's research building's cultivation facilities and resources were still available to him, he, Lisa, and Vishdair all needed rest. Lin Guang simply asked Dr. Kaiwen for leave, wanting to have a few quiet summer holiday days at home to rejuvenate — but after sending the request, he received a reply that she also seemed to have some matters to attend to and wouldn't be at school for the next few days.

However, just two days at home, Lin Guang had to admit that he was too naive.

He couldn't remain idle because there was a mountain of various tasks waiting for him to address.

For example, there was the celebratory banquet that Principal Liu organized for him and other students, and discussions with Wang Dawei and Hu Tuzhi about the paper on the White Illusion Phoenix's evolutionary path and subsequent handling, as well as the writing of papers post-evolution of the Swaying Lily.

The seeds Lin Guang painstakingly planted and nurtured finally bore fruit, and they naturally deserved to be treated well.

The celebratory banquet was held at the only Six-Star Hotel in Zhen Sheng City, the Dragon Soaring Hotel.

It's said that a certain free-spirited True Man, who has a passion for cooking, occasionally brings bursts of inspiration to the hotel's kitchen to create dishes, though they aren't for sale, and tasting them relies entirely on luck.

Principal Liu reserved the largest "Dragon Leaping Hall" in the hotel. All first-year students from the Experimental School who passed the Demon Qi Secret Realm assessment — meaning they stayed there for seven days — could attend, and they could bring parents or friends along.

However, there weren't actually many attendees, just a dozen or so students. Even with family members and teachers, there were only a few dozen people.

School leaders and teachers were, of course, present at the celebratory banquet, all filled with curiosity for the "big star" Lin Guang.

Principal Liu's consideration was quite thorough. He knew Lin Guang wasn't fond of socializing, so after Lin Guang delivered a customary speech and shared some of his insights, he took him to a smaller "Dragon Leaping Hall."

Those invited here were people related to Lin Guang, such as students from his class and teachers and coaches who had taught him.

However, slightly disappointing to Lin Guang, both Miaomiao and Dr. Kaiwen, though they congratulated him on his victory, politely declined to attend the banquet.

Though Lin Guang didn't press for a reason, he could roughly guess that they weren't from the same circle, and forcibly joining might make them uncomfortable.

Not to mention, Dr. Kaiwen is a True Man, and this kind of party might seem like child's play to her.

The banquet was formatted as a buffet, originating from the Federation Country. The large tables were filled with cold dishes, soups, hot dishes, desserts, fruits, and ice cream.

Among them, there were delicacies made from Spirit Beast Meat of even Green excellent or Blue Elite Level, which, although not as well handled in terms of spiritual material as by Lin Guang, the food created by professional chefs tasted exquisite. Vishdair, being naturally vigorous, needed no special mention, and even the elegant Lisa was fetching food a bit more frequently.

Homeroom teacher Ouyang Wei and instructor Yu Haidong approached with wine glasses in hand.

"Lin Guang, congratulations."

Ouyang Wei, with his usually stern face, actually smiled this time, speaking with a somewhat emotional tone, "From the day you suddenly perked up and asked me for a pass to the black market, I was certain. No matter what you pursue in the future, as long as you don't follow the Evil Dao, you'll accomplish something extraordinary."

"But I never would have thought you'd shine so brightly so soon."

"Old Wei is quite bold. If it were me, I wouldn't dare take responsibility, and surely wouldn't lend it to a student."

"But, perhaps this is a kind of destiny."

Yu Haidong also filled with emotions, "No one could have expected you'd defeat the heritage and so-called pride of the three major families only months after forming your contract."

"I still remember the first class when my earth guardian could still injure your partner, but now, even if I gave my all and brought out my old partner to spar, it would be entirely insufficient."

He paused, then joked, "Perhaps years from now, I can brag to my descendants that back in the day, I sparred evenly with that 'True Man Lin'."

"This is thanks to the nurturing of my teachers and instructors," Lin Guang said modestly. "Without Instructor Yu's sparring, she couldn't have adapted to this world's battles so quickly."

"And without your trust, I couldn't have met her... Without her, I might indeed have accomplished nothing."

These words seemed to catch Vishdair's ear as she gobbled her food, turning her head with a slight blush on her side face and her slender tail lightly swaying.
