Although Lin Guang also wanted to ask this question, the truth was indeed so.

If there were no obstructions, the measurement of Spiritual Power and the exertion of the Hand of Full Mastery would definitely be more accurate.

Lin Guang shook his head and said, "The difference won't be significant. After all, you're not wearing Spiritual Artifact clothing, and regular fabric only slightly hinders my Perception. Vishdair always washes up before the tests, deliberately not wearing anything in front of me just to see my reaction."

Lisa caught the main point, her face turning completely red, eyes wide open and ears standing straight as steam seemed ready to burst out: "Vishdair did it on purpose?!!!"

"Uh, about that..."

It was clear that Lisa, though growing up under her parents' protection, was not entirely naive.

Lin Guang felt somewhat awkward and tried to steer the conversation away: "In any case, the difference is minimal, you can rest assured."

Lisa looked at Vishdair's bedroom door, tightly shut, and then at Lin Guang, her eyes bearing a hint of innocent shyness. It took her a moment to calm down, the redness still on her cheeks, she spoke softly: "Then there is still a difference."

The fox ears on her head twitched, and she spoke earnestly: "I want whatever Lin Guang thinks works best!"

"..."

Lin Guang squatted down slightly, patting her on the head, meeting her golden-green eyes: "May I ask why?"

The girl's pupils briefly trembled and expanded, she bit her lip, intense emotions flashed in her eyes that Lin Guang couldn't discern, but she quickly became determined. She pulled Lin Guang's hand down, holding it, looking earnestly into his eyes: "I want to get stronger quickly, so I can help Lin Guang."

Once again, Lin Guang sensed Lisa's intense desire to "get stronger," which bordered on a pathological level.

He had previously advised Lisa not to push herself so hard, there was no need to forcefully emulate him.

After all, Lin Guang knew he wasn't exactly a normal person, his mental status was somewhat abnormal, able to maintain high-intensity effort while enjoying it.

But Lisa's efforts seemed different, as if she was being chased by an invisible beast, one that would swallow her whole if she stopped moving.

Once, when Lin Guang tried to get her to relax a bit, Lisa even used the words of a powerful Spirit Master she had read before to argue back—

Fast in one step, fast in every step, slow in one step, slow in every step.

Sighing inwardly, Lin Guang didn't say anything further.

The two of them returned to the room, Lin Guang closed the door, and with a click, locked it.

This was to prevent Lisa from making noises in a moment, that might wake Vishdair who, after practicing hard all day, had just eaten and bathed before going to bed. Otherwise, further explanation might be needed.

After thinking for a while, Lin Guang opened the music app on his phone and played a soft piano piece.

"Does it itch?"

"...A little bit."

"That's normal, the sensation of itchiness in human form is more sensitive than that of a Spirit Beast, you'll get used to it."

While finding topics to talk about, Lin Guang gently massaged her, easing Lisa's tension.

"Friday is the final joint exam, how do you feel?"

"A bit nervous... The combat intensity won't be on the same level as our usual matches, especially since the Spirit Beasts inside have been infected with Demonic Qi. I, I don't know if I can do well."

"Lisa has done great already, just maintain a normal mindset. When envisioning the joint exam a month ago, I didn't expect you to join, originally it was meant for only Vishdair and me to clear the Secret Realm. Regardless of how Lisa performs, it's an additional support for us."

"Hmm..."

During the chat, Lisa's tense muscles gradually relaxed.

"It might be a bit sore next."

Lin Guang took a deep breath, activating the Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence and the Hand of Full Mastery, began massaging using the [Corrective Meridian Opening Technique], smoothing out blockages inside her body.

The soothing piano music flowing in the room perfectly masked the awkward noises.

It's almost done... Lin Guang thought to himself.

Over the past month, Lisa's rigorous training had resulted in many blockages in her body, but clearing them all at once would affect her current Status, so Lin Guang switched focus to ease her Ore Disease.

He placed his right hand on Lisa's back and his left hand on her left arm— the Active Source Stone had invaded her body through her left arm, infecting her, so the Source Stone growth was densest there and needed special attention.

Lin Guang didn't notice that when he focused the massage on her left arm, Lisa slightly bit her lip, a hint of realization and disappointment flashed in her eyes.

...

Zhen Sheng City is an important city and resource node in Fenghai Province.

This city is near the South Sea, serving as a crucial port for Great Xia to the outside world. On the other side, in the Wilderness, there are seven unique resource Secret Realms, three functional Secret Realms, along with a few trial Secret Realms under its jurisdiction to train talents.

This excludes the data of those Secret Realms not open to the public controlled by the three major families.

Even in the vast Fenghai Province, perhaps only two or three cities can compare to it.

Therefore, the allocation of resources, organization of events, and treatment of public schools are unlike those of any other ordinary city.

The Spirit High School Joint Exam is an event in Zhen Sheng City, second in excitement only to the 'Fenghai Provincial High School Beast Guard League,' where novice Spirit Masters from 239 Spirit High Schools in Zhen Sheng City will display their strength to everyone.

The Demon Qi Secret Realm serves as the exam site, located beyond the walls of Zhen Sheng City, in the Wilderness.

Children are the future, and young Spirit Masters from combat-oriented Spirit High Schools are the pillars of Great Xia's future, bearing the responsibility of fighting against the Demon Race and protecting the territory.

Such an important event, again taking place in the Wilderness, naturally requires guardians.

Contestants from each school are transported by special vehicles arranged by the education bureau, accompanied by dozens of soldiers escorting. Merely for the escort, they have dispatched over a thousand Three-Star Spirit Masters and over a hundred Four-Star Spirit Masters, not to mention countless soldiers operating in unseen places, either scouting out potential dangers in the Wilderness or using mechanical Spirit Beasts and Spiritual Spirit Beasts to search for miscreants.

The high-end combat power is beyond elaboration, on the surface, there is a Six-star True Man, namely the Director of Education in Zhen Sheng City, who is organizing this joint exam, and along with four Five-Star Peak Spirit Masters providing full protection.

And this is just on the surface, considering the location is in the Wilderness, and with military and family mobilization, there might secretly be a second or even third True Man from the military or noble families.

Even if numerous Beast Kings suddenly lead beast tides from the sea and Wilderness, these strong individuals could suppress them head-on.

Such a large-scale operation isn't merely for this so-called joint exam alone.

In fact, regularly clearing unstable factors in the Wilderness near the city is naturally necessary, which also serves as an actual combat exercise for the military corps.

After preparing a hearty breakfast for his companions, Lin Guang took them to school early, only to find out he wasn't the earliest. Wang Dawei, Lv Rui, homeroom teacher Ouyang Wei… even the principal Liu Feifan had already gathered in the pre-decided area.

Seeing Lin Guang arrive, a gleam seemed to flash in Lv Rui's eyes. She took a step forward, hesitated for a moment, then saw a figure rushing over first.

It was Miaomiao.
