Kaiwen showed no intention of accommodating him, continuing to probe: "Revenge is never too late; why choose this mont?"
"Because the True Man is not here; now is the best opportunity."
Lin Guang seed to have anticipated this, and said calmly, "Even if a few years later I have the ability to fight ordinary Six-Stars or even defeat them, for the sake of social stability, I can never fully exert my strength in the city."
Kaiwen slightly raised her head, her expression indifferent, and even her speech quickened slightly: "Do you still care?"
"The current social model of Great Xia is essentially still one of the strong."
"This country has transford into its seemingly tender and non-icy appearance today entirely due to the consensus of Great Xia's four Nine-Star Supre Beings, High Tier Secret Realm Masters, Holy Beasts, Divine Beasts, and nearly two thousand True n."
Kaiwen used straightforward and direct words, icy cold, to reveal the truth of this world.
"What laws or regulations... are essentially compromises among the top powerhouses, forged from external pressure and shared cultural background."
"Great Xia's relatively stable social order exists because of this consensus."
"A reckless True Man can cause imnse damage that no side can afford, hence the great forces compromise with each other and establish laws and regulations, and society is ford based on these consensuses."
"You used Kong Guofeng's Spiritual Artifact, and it will certainly leave corresponding traces at the scene; though that True Man has certain misunderstandings due to Lei Wanting and the Spirit Alliance, he will surely realize afterward, connecting you with Kong Guofeng and Great Xia."
"True n not acting is a social consensus, but while you can be arbitrary, powerhouses naturally have their own whims as well."
"In the eyes of the True n of the Divine Heart Association, the base being destroyed and the critical experintal items being taken is not so much done by you as it is by Great Xia."
"If even Great Xia doesn't follow the rules, then what's the necessity for the Divine Heart Association to comply?"
"Even if you have a student's identity, the Divine Heart Association will surely try to forcefully sever the contract and take her, and the conflict between Great Xia and the Divine Heart Association will further escalate, causing more losses."
"This is the consequence of your reckless revenge."
"Do you think if I don't take revenge, they would treat with respect?" Lin Guang did not back down at all and said sternly, "Even under the current rules, they would still find ways to harm and those around ."
"Lisa is like this, I am like this, and it's the sa for Miaomiao on her side... You should know this."
Kaiwen paused for a mont, then said, "You should have waited for to return; I would have helped you handle it—"
"But wouldn't that still be a compromise, a muddying of the waters?"
"I know, if I'm not impulsive, waiting until I gradually make a na for myself, eventually reaching the pinnacle."
"Perhaps those who once targeted would co to curry favor, pay for their past actions, apologize, and bow and scrape..."
Lin Guang took a deep breath.
The turbulence in the Sea of Spirit seed to have diminished his emotional control, or perhaps it was because he was in front of a teacher he deeply trusted, thus he spoke the truth from his heart—
"But, I can't swallow that resentnt."
"Despite doing nothing wrong, being ostracized and oppressed by power, having to compromise... Even if I forget past events, this suffocating feeling makes angry."
The young man raised his head, his composure still steady, but the dark golden light in his eyes suddenly flared intensely.
"Why?"
"Is my revenge a mistake, disregarding the bigger picture, breaking the consensus, while what they do is universally accepted?"
"Just because I'm not significant enough, just because I have a 'soft spot', I must compromise, and they don't have to face any consequences?"
"They were the ones conducting forbidden human experints, those who nearly killed , those who oppressed with power."
Lin Guang slowly shook his head: "If I could swallow this grievance, I wouldn't be able to break through to a True Man in this lifeti, I'd live a diocre life, never aspiring to this path, struggling through battles to reach my current status."
"They're the ones blocking my path, wanting to end things once and for all, ensuring no further progress in this life."
"This ti is just the beginning."
Lin Guang said coldly, "In the not-so-distant future, I will make the Divine Heart Association repay twice over for the cris they've committed and everything they've plundered."
Everyone fell silent.
Kaiwen said nothing.
Vishdair instead showed his trademark wanton smile, though he said nothing, his gaze was victoriously fixed on Kaiwen.
Lisa's little face also showed a look of firm support.
While the wolf-eared girl at the side silently watched him, her gaze seed sowhat moved.
After a while.
Lin Guang finally cald down.
He slightly bowed his head: "Teacher, I didn't control my emotions well... I indeed should have discussed it with you first."
"I'm sorry for worrying you."
"But please trust , I have a way to handle these matters."
"If the situation becos dire, I can enlist in the military directly after the provincial competition. True Man Tian would likely be happy to offer protection, and the Divine Heart Association won't be able to extend its reach into the military."
After saying this, Lin Guang obediently closed his mouth.
However, to be honest, he didn't quite understand Kaiwen's concern.
The ability to expand the Divine Heart Association's influence across the entire Fenghai Province and take root in Zhen Sheng City indeed relied on power, but the intricate exchanges of interests and alliances were also indispensable. The leader of the Divine Heart Association must be adept at strategizing, and it's unlikely that the True n under their command would act impulsively.
One must realize that the re exposure of human experintation is already a significant taboo.
Making a move against an erging, undeniably promising civilian genius would be virtually akin to tearing open relations with Great Xia.
On the way to school, Assistant Wang had sent Lin Guang a ssage, roughly indicating that although things had not yet been settled, Lin Guang need not worry too much about retaliation from the Divine Heart Association—should they go too far, they would be placed on the "eradication list" by the authorities, prompting top-ranking individuals to hunt them down relentlessly.
The Divine Object is indeed precious, and Advanced Researchers and Miracle Masters are hard to co by, but with likely data backups in the Divine Heart Association, their foundation remains unshaken.
As long as the Divine Heart Association doesn't get wiped out, these losses can eventually be "recovered."
—After all, the Divine Heart Association is not like savages or the Demon Race; they need to rely on Great Xia to exist. If they truly wished to plot sothing, they wouldn't engage in self-destruction.
Kaiwen should understand this reasoning too. Even if she truly cares about him, it's hard to imagine soone as usually calm and rational as her being so furious.
It's almost as if... Lin Guang was just one step away from falling into an abyss.
Perhaps, True Man knew so insider information he was unaware of.
Kaiwen looked at Lin Guang, who had his head lowered, seeming to wait for her judgnt. She remained silently contemplative, her eyes lowered, with a flicker of heartache and self-bla flashing through her erald gaze.
"You really are..."
When she lifted her head again, the coldness on her face had completely lted, and her beautiful eyes showed a look of helplessness.
Another pen cap flew from Kaiwen's hand. Lin Guang, having learned from previous experience, instinctively wanted to dodge but was still a bit slow. It hit him square on the forehead, though this ti, it didn't hurt much.
She said a little exasperatedly, "Do you really think just a one-ti-use Spiritual Artifact given by Kong Guofeng can fully protect you? At that ti, it wasn't only Lei Wanting who arrived."
With a slight start, Lin Guang understood Kaiwen's words: "...You also arrived yesterday?"
Kaiwen didn't respond.
Realizing this, Lin Guang's initially self-assured deanor suddenly beca sowhat sheepish. He slid a bit further down his chair, even his shoulders slumped slightly, like a wilting plant.
He might not know what Kaiwen goes out to do for those one or two days each month, but it must be quite important.
Lin Guang could already imagine her being busy all day, only to open her phone when she was ready to rest and seeing his ssage, prompting her hurried arrival.
If he thought in a worse direction, there had also been a Tier Seven Secret Realm yesterday. Perhaps she had just finished her work and was getting ready to take the first scoop from the Secret Realm.
Lisa, naturally, didn't need to say much. Even Vishdair, who was initially displeased with Kaiwen's intervention, had his expression soften sowhat.
"..."
Kaiwen shook her head: "Go back and rest first. Starting tomorrow, I'll adjust the power of your ditation Pod and the formula of the nutrient solution. And you need to use it an extra hour every day, so distribute your ti wisely."
"I'll have the specifics of what to watch out for, along with your dications, ready when you co tomorrow."
Lin Guang appeared even more sheepish: "Thank you, teacher."
"Don't thank . Think carefully about what to do next."
Lin Guang pondered for a mont and finally revealed a little: "Teacher, I actually have a bit of a solution to the Sea of Spirit disturbance..."
Listening to Lin Guang's words, Kaiwen showed no surprise and instead shook her head.
This ti, she finally brought up a topic the two of them had been avoiding: "Having observed for so long, I am not unaware of your own fortuitous encounter."
"Whether you stumbled upon the inheritance and relics of so powerful individual, or were favored by so Divine Beast and received a blessing."
"Nonetheless, your own safety is most important."
"No matter how powerful your abilities, if your status is too weak to use them, it's of no use. This is what they an by a physician being unable to heal themselves."
"Hmm... I will be careful."
The atmosphere in the room imdiately softened.
However, none of the three noticed.
The black-haired girl standing at the back of the group, with an indifferent expression, gently looked at Lin Guang.
In those orange-red eyes, a subtle flicker of sympathy and pity passed by, perhaps a complex gaze akin to sharing the sa affliction.
But as she slightly turned her head to look at Kaiwen,
Those deep eyes finally revealed a hint of...
A strong aversion, desperately suppressed and concealed but evident nonetheless.
