Clang—

As the sound waves spread, invisible space began to unfold.

In an instant, it was like a drop of ink silently dispersing in water.

Where Kong Guofeng disappeared, the boundaries of the domain formed by "True Intent" quickly expanded, swiftly covering the original world.

The fox below was gently enveloped without the slightest anomaly, yet it suddenly realized with alarm…

At this moment, all the blood-colored flames had stopped swaying and flickering.

It was like... being trapped in amber or glass.

And in the next moment, a crisp and clear sound like mountain streams resonated throughout the domain.

The ether-driven sound wave became fully tangible, with countless circle-like iridescent waves beginning to spread, resonate, and reflect within the domain.

And the size of this domain… happened to encompass the realm of the Beast King.

But these sound waves were not chaotic; they were arranged with extreme order, the peaks not canceling each other out but skillfully overlapping, beginning to cyclically undulate within the domain, faintly resembling a melodious ancient Great Xia melody.

This was the domain Kong Guofeng constructed with the traditional musical system of Great Xia, based on the principles of Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, and Yu, rigorous in law yet capable of adaptation with variable tones like Bian Gong, Bian Zhi, Run, and Qing Jue.

Just like his own character and style.

Its name is…

"Great Xia Five Melodies"!

In a matter of seconds, as the sound waves reverberated and overlapped, the momentum became increasingly exaggerated, and the two overlapping domains had already decided the winner, transforming the vast space as if into iridescent glass of extreme brilliance.

The blood-colored flames within had completely lost dominance, now mere embellishments within this glass domain.

From the outside.

It was like a dazzling, multicolored sun descending upon the land, its harmonious melody ringing out over the purgatory-like earth like rainfall in a drought.

And within the sun, the Beast King let out a fierce roar, seemingly unwilling to escape, retracting its domain and forcing itself to bear the attack of the sound waves, charging towards Kong Guofeng's figure.

...

Ten minutes later.

Kong Guofeng, unscathed, collected the enormous tiger head and the scarred tiger body into his storage spiritual artifact, then went for a stroll, picking up a large, bright red, high-temperature-emitting strange flower, roots and soil included, and packed it all in.

The blue-and-white fox then obediently stood in the air, unmoving, until Kong Guofeng leisurely sat back down, revealing a flattering look, then continued to walk in the previous direction.

From its demeanor, there was no trace of its earlier reluctance.

Though he had killed a Beast King, Kong Guofeng showed not an ounce of arrogance, merely continuing the conversation he had just connected.

"I've handled things here."

He casually remarked, "It's nothing, continue on."

—Though this tiger was indeed a bit stronger than the fox, having broken through to the Beast King realm without the support of a clan, definitely with purple grade potential, even possessing purple skills.

But in the face of Kong Guofeng, who had already condensed a second Dao Mark and mastered extremely powerful exclusive mystical techniques, its methods were still too primitive.

The total power was indeed considerable.

But in terms of power control, the strength of skills and talent amplification, such a primitive Beast King realm who couldn't even consciously reduce its size in this secret realm was far, far behind a Da Xia True Man who had mastered and integrated many mystical techniques and inheritance systems.

"Got it."

Assistant Wang didn't ask further and said, "There are two matters."

"One is good news."

"The day before yesterday, a paper on the evolution of Swaying Lily was published in the journal 'Botanicals.' Meanwhile, someone submitted a proposal concerning Meditation Potion No. 13 to the education bureau, with the main ingredient being the evolved form of Swaying Lily. Experts in the bureau have looked at it, and the chances of it being wrong are low."

"And quite miraculously... the authors of both papers are Lin Guang and his friend."

Kong Guofeng was first slightly surprised, then a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth, "Lin Guang..."

He instructed, "Verify it early, then put it into production to benefit the wide student body of Zhen Sheng City— but remember, make sure the confidentiality work is well done."

"Of course."

Assistant Wang replied with a slight smile in his voice, "Neither Protective Umbrella Company nor the clans will find out."

"A young talent indeed... Lin Zian really has a good son."

Kong Guofeng smiled.

—Lin Guang is not only a genius, but everything he does truly aligns with his appetites.

Protective Umbrella Meditation Potion No. 13 may only be Tier One, almost ineffective for Spirit Masters above Tier Three.

But it must be known that the most populous in this world are Tier One and Tier Two Spirit Masters.

With Great Xia holding its formula and spreading it at a low cost, it can impact and benefit a vast number of people.

"The second point... I'm not sure if it's good news."

"Let's hear about it."

"It's still about Lin Guang."

Kong Guofeng was a bit curious: "Oh, what did he do this time?"

"He made a contract with a Tier Three Terra girl." Assistant Wang's voice grew heavy, "According to him, this girl is an experiment of the Divine Heart Association."

"Not entirely unexpected."

Kong Guofeng nodded slightly.

But the next sentence was enough to make this seasoned True Man, known for his cultivation and composure, stand dazed on the spot.

"This girl possesses... three Dao Marks."

"What! Hmm?!"

In an instant, light burst from Kong Guofeng's eyes.

The news was so explosive that it sent his thoughts into turmoil, causing him to lose control of his strength, squeezing the big fox in his hand which showed a pained expression, but dared not move, only letting out a whimpering sound.

After a few seconds, Kong Guofeng released his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Three Dao Marks? And he's unharmed?!"

"Yes, he's unharmed, and it doesn't affect his cultivation or battle. I confirmed it several times, and it seems the conclusion about the Dao Marks was made by his teacher, so there should be no mistake."

"..."

Dao Marks, which can be regarded as an external manifestation of one's life level, can also be seen as the understanding and mastery of rules.

The insurmountable gap between Five-Star and Six-Star, the noble status of talent sequences ranked in the top 500, is largely due to the existence of Dao Marks.

It should be noted that, if contractual partners are not counted, Kong Guofeng himself only has two Dao Marks!

At the ripe old age of over 140, Kong Guofeng is still striving to engrave his third Dao Mark.

Furthermore, obtaining Dao Marks before Six-Star and Tier Six carries completely different significance. To have three Dao Marks as early as Tier Three means her future potential is simply immeasurable; she will have no obstacles breaking through to the Beast King Realm, and her breakthrough to Tier Seven is almost a certainty!

Even in the "Golden Era" where holders of Golden Talent fight for supremacy, this is quite an extraordinary achievement, second only to those top prodigies who contract with a juvenile Holy Beast.

But this gift is not one that anyone can bear.

Cross-tier contracting with such a powerful Spirit Beast poses substantial risks, even an Equal Contract is quite dangerous.

Lin Guang's ability to accomplish this once again proves his stunning potential.

Moreover.

This is something very important.

Even though Kong Guofeng does not know the Divine Heart Association's plot, their investment in this experiment subject is to a degree that would shock even an old True Man like him.

Obviously, the leader of the Divine Heart Association will not let this go easily.

Could this become, in some sense, the fuse to drive them to act recklessly and all-out?

On the surface, Kong Guofeng is the Director of the Education Bureau of Zhen Sheng City. Although only Six-Star, his status is not low, almost equivalent to a representative of Great Xia's Will in Zhen Sheng City.

While his opinion can reach the heavens, he has to consider many stable things as well.

But in just a few seconds, this True Man's gaze calmed again, clearly having made a decision.

He said calmly, "Let Wenxin give my seal to Lin Guang."

Assistant Wang murmured, "Your official seal? But, if it's a token, besides stamping official documents, the spiritual fluctuation only proves your identity, without any protective function..."

"..."

He suddenly understood.

Precisely because there is a detectable spiritual fluctuation, it denotes one thing.

Anyone who can sense the Spiritual Power on this official seal, confirming Kong Guofeng's identity...will realize this token is a pure declaration.

A declaration that Kong Guofeng will use all possible forces and means to staunchly protect Lin Guang.

——In the name of Great Xia!

Kong Guofeng sat calmly on the fox, restoring his earlier tranquility.

He spoke calmly and said: "I don't care who the leader of Divine Heart Association is among my two old friends."

"If they intend to act against a genius of this level and background from a civilian, it truly crosses the line."

"They can try and see if they think they can overturn the heavens of Great Xia..."

"Are they worthy?"

…

Zhen Sheng City, unknown region.

Tap, tap, tap.

A series of crisp footsteps echoed down the silent corridor.

Moonlight spilled through the window, lending an extra pallor to the white coat.

The woman stopped at the end of the corridor.

Strangely, there was nothing there.

No door, no window, only a gray wall standing silently.
