But the problem is, if Lin Guang really did take medicine in secret, then it would be impossible to clear his name!

Once there is leadership backing him, Liang Xing immediately straightened his back: "Hmph, the problems don't stop there. Just tell me, how did he manage to use the [Explosion Fist] with just his body?"

The old man pondered for a moment: "Indeed, that doesn't quite make sense..."

"This..." Liu Feifan grit his teeth, unable to think of a rebuttal at the moment. After all, he didn't know what was going on either. Could Lin Guang really have taken something?

The leaders and notable figures present were widely knowledgeable and could tell that the method Lin Guang used to manipulate the Fire Attribute Ether was not a Spirit Pattern, but directly copied the way a girl named "Vishdair" used the [Explosion Fist].

There are roughly three methods humans can use to directly manipulate Ether through Spiritual Power.

The first method is that of the Ancient Martial Spirit Masters from Chairman Rote's era, but this mostly relies on the power of the Magical Beast within, merely seeming to be released by humans.

The second is to possess an Attribute Class Talent, or to master a Spirit Pattern of a certain attribute, which can greatly enhance a Spirit Master's ability to control the corresponding Ether of that attribute, or there's a special talent that allows the Spirit Master to mimic a Spirit Beast's skill release.

The third method requires the Spirit Master to have a high level of precision and intensity in their Spiritual Power, but that demands a very deep and solid foundation, as well as a high degree of understanding of Ether—in other words, a high skill level and daring to directly go hands-on and forcefully manipulate it.

It's unlikely for Lin Guang to be the first type, since although he did contract with a Magical Beast, the beast is currently fighting in the field, and he himself hasn't undergone Ancient Martial Spirit Master training, lacking the conditions to release skills.

And according to Lin Guang's data, his talent is named [Heart of Terra], and it's known to currently only benefit the category of [Terran Demons], the Spirit Pattern he understood isn't related to the Fire Attribute, ruling out the second option.

Theoretically, Lin Guang is only possibly the third type, forcefully mastering Ether.

But does Lin Guang have the level to create miracles like this?

He's only level 14!

Even if this talent really has hidden effects like Liu Feifan mentioned, with mental class enhancements, it's just a Blue level talent with limited effects.

Even Daoist School Leader Han Lingxi shook her head, her talent isn't an Attribute Class one, and even with her strength qualifying her as a Daoist School Leader, she can't release skills so rapidly and barehandedly like Lin Guang.

Eliminating these three methods, it's indeed hard not to suspect some external means were used.

"I feel like something's off here."

"Principal Liu Feifan, if you really have something you want to explain, do it now before the doctor arrives—admit it while there's still time, or you'll be in a really awkward spot."

Although no one openly voiced their doubts, quiet discussions broke out—though to a Five-Star Spirit Master's hearing, volume makes no difference—as they doubted Lin Guang's achievements.

In fact, even Liu Feifan himself was starting to have doubts.

Liu Feifan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his Mediterranean forehead, pondering how to counter.

Swoosh—

"Excuse me for a moment."

At that moment, Daoist School Leader Hua Bo suddenly stood up and left the podium.

After a brief pause, Liang Xing burst out laughing and pointed at Principal Liu Feifan's nose: "Old guy, see that! Even Daoist School Leader Hua Bo was angered by your shameful actions!"

"Even the good-natured Daoist School Leader Hua Bo left, there must be something wrong here."

"Indeed, it seems a bit exaggerated to exceed ranks like this."

"..."

Principal Liu Feifan wiped off some cold sweat but still refused to concede: "What's your barking worth, can you detect things from thin air?"

"All you can do is be stubborn for now," Liang Xing sneered.

Several minutes later, a giant eagle-shaped Spirit Beast descended from the sky next to the podium, and an elderly lady in a white coat dismounted the eagle and was assisted by a young woman as she walked over.

"It's really Doctor Yang Huimin."

"Liang Xing actually managed to invite her here?"

"Now this is going to be interesting."

The leaders on the podium were astir, aware that Doctor Yang Huimin specializes in Spirit Medicine and is a Four-Star Miracle Master. Deceiving her under her watchful eyes is impossible unless one possesses 'True Man' level methods.

In an instant, Principal Liu Feifan's face looked like he'd swallowed a fly, cold sweat dripped continuously from his forehead, yet he still forced a stubborn expression: "Well played, Liang Xing, you actually brought Doctor Yang over. This must have used up quite a favor. For a little exchange match, is it really worth it?"

"Heh." Seeing Liu Feifan's expression entirely, Liang Xing's last bit of hesitation vanished, and he sneered, "It's not up to you to decide if it's worth it."

As long as they could secure victory in the exchange match, with Experimental School being the 'jewel' prior, Daoist School Leader Hua Bo might agree to invest in First Middle School, using up the favor owed by Director Yang from years ago is worth it.

Liang Xing quickly went up and smiled, saying, "Doctor Yang, thank you for your hard work."

He seemed to be about to offer some pleasantries, but Doctor Yang waved him off without giving him much of a friendly face: "Cut the small talk, it's a drug test, isn't it? Where's the sample?"

"Here it is."

He hurriedly took out four vials containing a few milliliters of blood, just drawn from Lin Guang and Vishdair's arms, and he and Liu Feifan personally went to the lounge to ensure there were no mistakes.
