"Really? Did he win purely on hard strength?"

"Doctor Yang diagnosed it, so how could it be wrong?"

"But, why exactly?"

"Can Blue Talent really reach such a level? I've lived for so many years and have never even heard of it."

Amidst the discussion, someone suddenly suggested, "Why don't we ask Master Hua Bo? He's the strongest among us and has seen a lot, he might have some insights."

Everyone turned their gaze to the elderly man with white hair. After a moment of contemplation, the elder slowly took out his phone, dialed Hua Bo's number, briefly explained the situation, and put the phone on speaker.

"Old Xu, it's my negligence, I thought this level of logical reasoning wouldn't be missed by anyone."

From the speaker came the steady voice of Master Hua Bo, "Just get to the conclusion, I've never doubted he used medicine."

"I just realized... he received Rote Chairman's True Intent Implantation."

Everyone was stunned.

Another leader, who looked young but spoke with a very old-fashioned tone, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, then nodded slightly and declared, "Master Hua, are you saying he endured the Illusion Realm left by Rote Chairman, thus Rote Chairman acknowledged him and performed the True Intent Implantation? Indeed, that could explain why he can use the Explosion Fist, perhaps Rote Chairman's Will gave him some benefits."

But he immediately shook his head: "But a child with a plain background can really accomplish such a thing? The matter of the Blast Punch Crystal should be somewhat known to everyone, the pain in the process is difficult to bear even for children of noble families or warriors who've ventured into the Wilderness, let alone passing the Illusion Realm, might there be some external means involved? Rote Chairman officially produced over 4,000 skill crystals, so overlooking something isn't impossible."

"And even if he truly succeeded through his own talent and effort, the True Intent within the crystal is only meant for the younger generation below Three-Star. The emphasis is on Intention, not quantity. Even if it can amplify some Spiritual Strength, how could it turn a Blue Talent into something so powerful?"

Master Hua Bo's voice suddenly became much calmer through the speaker:

"Old Wang, if Rote Chairman's methods were so easily cracked, how would these skill crystals still re-enter the ordinary market from the hands of the noble families?"

"Currently, there are less than ten Nine-Star Spirit Masters known worldwide, each one can be considered a deity walking among mortals, even the ordinary Holy Beasts, and those High Tier Secret Realm Masters have to bow their proud heads to them, Rote Chairman being one of the best among them."

"In the eyes of the common people, we might appear high and mighty, but in Rote Chairman's eyes, we might be no different from ordinary mortals."

"His methods and vision are not something we can comprehend."

After a pause, Master Hua Bo hinted:

"What I mean is, some people's talent and strength cannot be measured by the color of their talent or the prominence of their birth."

"You shouldn't think he's strong because of Rote Chairman's recognition."

"Perhaps it was precisely because he saw his talent and capability that Rote Chairman chose to perform the True Intent Implantation for him."

"..."

"Do you have no more doubts?"

"...Yes."

The call ended.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Hua Bo is indisputably the strongest among them, so his words carried extra weight.

The spiritual power incongruous with Blue Talent is indeed rare, but even if enhanced several times, it would just barely compare with those Purple Talents at the end of the sequence, nothing special.

Lin Guang's real peculiarity lies in his growth speed and combat prowess.

With these two points, and Rote Chairman's special attention, Lin Guang's future becomes a topic worthy of discussion.

"Hiss... Master Hua means that he not only received the Implantation but also gained Rote Chairman's favor?"

Someone nodded, acknowledging this interpretation: "Although saying so might seem like jumping to conclusions, I indeed haven't heard in the past two years of anyone receiving Rote Chairman's True Intent Body. A Blue Talent succeeding against odds, especially at such a young age, seems reasonable to hypothesize."

"That Terra Magical Beast... that little girl performed quite well, I reckon she has some {Explosion} related talent or affinity, otherwise there's no way she could master it so quickly, with such power."

"Moreover, her combat talent and intuition are quite impressive too, she not only dodged several attacks using her footwork but also hit the Molten Dragon Lizard's body at least five times at the places with the densest and most chaotic Ether flow."

"If guided by Rote Chairman, the mental issues caused by magical beasts, he likely has a great chance to overcome, then the biggest flaw of the Terra Demon would no longer exist, this young man has a bright future."

"Rote Chairman's measures, it's no wonder he has the confidence to challenge across tiers."

"Wait, I remember the young master of the Huai family..."

"Ahem, this is not something to be discussed."

The topic was diverted.

Among the high-star Spirit Masters in Zhen Sheng City, this wasn't a secret, the young master of the Huai family managed to master one of Rote Chairman's killer moves in just one and a half months when he first entered high school, and the Huai family leveraged it for hype, but there was no more news after quite some time, obviously, he failed to win Rote Chairman's approval, let alone get the True Intent Body.

In other words, this student with no background is seen by Rote Chairman as having more potential than the young master of the Huai family, who has a Purple Talent within the top 500 of the sequence, augmented potential from exposure to heavenly materials and earthly treasures since childhood, and guidance from a High Tier Spirit Master?

Has a Golden Phoenix truly flown out of the wild grass?

As the discussion continued, the gaze of the crowd turned unusually bright—with even Master Han Lingxi scheming something themselves.

Some assumed that contracting a demon, even if it led to astonishing combat power at the same tier, meant limited future potential, but now it seemed otherwise... didn't the legendary Rote Chairman also endorse those who contracted magical beasts?

Trouble!

Our precious has caught their eye!

Principal Liu Feifan felt a chill, slammed the table, and with a furious face said, "What are you all doing?! Let me tell you, Lin Guang is the ace of our school, we've signed an agreement! Whoever dares to have any crooked thoughts, I'll fight against you all!"

Of course, on the surface, no one would disagree, all agreeing with smiles and making assurances.

But Liu Feifan could see through their little schemes, feeling both pleased and troubled, thinking that he hadn't been decisive and generous enough back then, that the benefits in the agreement were too little, far from enough to tie a genius like Lin Guang completely to the Experimental School's chariot.

While the group was heatedly discussing, Principal Liang Xing left the podium disheartened, with no one stopping him, not even noticing his exit.

Scrambling around pulling strings just to get two Daoist School Leaders to watch the competition, only to see them interested in students from other schools, and to waste precious favor from Doctor Yang, not to mention the worry that there might be leaders eager to please Lin Guang who would voluntarily demand strict handling of the Wu Jie drug matter.

This time, he truly got himself into quite a pickle instead of trying to reap benefits without doing any work.
