"No need, I don't really mind." Lin Guang also laughed and shook his head, "I can't guarantee it will work, I should thank you for your trust, your father is just concerned about you."

"Is that so?"

Wang Dawei looked doubtful, as he felt Lin Guang had always been confident from the start. Saying he wasn't sure was just habitually being modest, but he had no proof, so he let it go.

The phone was still ringing, and he slapped his forehead: "Oh, I remembered, it should be Didi Spirit Beast urging the passenger to hurry up."

Finishing his words, Wang Dawei's face showed an excited expression: "If we rush over now, we should still be able to see that old lamp questioning its life."

Wang Dawei had always been a man of action. He removed the leg ring of the White Phoenix Parrot, thanked the three of them, and ran towards the door. The White Phoenix Parrot, known for its high intelligence, stood on Wang Dawei's shoulder and made its way out while flapping its wings and yelling at Lin Guang, "New boss! New boss!"

"These two..."

Lin Guang chuckled and shook his head, then nodded slightly at Miaomiao, "Thanks for your help."

"Oh, it's nothing."

Miaomiao waved her small hand in a proud manner, and even the cowlick on her head seemed more spirited, "You're too polite."

She reached out, picked up the two leg rings used to collect data from the White Phoenix Parrot, weighed them, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Lin Guang, your uncle and aunt's data was indeed correct! This is incredibly valuable firsthand data! If you have trouble with your paper, feel free to ask for my help. After all, before your paper is completed and published, I can make a small profit by buying some spiritual materials."

Lin Guang just smiled and corrected, "It's our paper."

"Huh, ours?" Miaomiao felt a bit embarrassed, "I didn't really do anything..."

Lin Guang sincerely said, "No, without your help, I would probably struggle with creating even the most basic potion, let alone this venue."

"Then I will accept it gladly." Miaomiao hesitated for a moment, then smiled and agreed. After glancing at the time, she said, "It's getting late, let's just eat at the cafeteria."

"Hmm..."

Lin Guang paused, his gaze shifted to Vishdair, who inexplicably looked stern again, "What do you say, eat here?"

"Forget it, let's eat here." She touched her somewhat empty stomach and said, although perhaps she didn't get along well with Miaomiao, her face didn't look good all the way.

This situation only improved when the cafeteria auntie served Vishdair's tray with a big bowl of braised meat, she wasn't dumb, it was obvious the auntie's shaking hand was because someone suddenly 'cured' her.

After the meal, Lin Guang wanted to return to the laboratory to help clean up, but Miaomiao said it wouldn't take much time — which indeed it didn't — and pushed him onto the bus.

Watching the two leave, Miaomiao returned to the lab and started the clean-up work.

Buzz—

A vibration came from her pocket, she took out her phone and looked.

[Come visit sometime, Vishdair is just afraid you'll steal her food, with a big meal she won't mind.]

The smile at the corner of Miaomiao's mouth widened, she tidied up while humming an unknown tune.

...

In Wang Xiaosheng's eyes, there was a faint bird call from the phone, followed by shaking footage, and after the White Phoenix Parrot's beak pecked at it multiple times, the call was hung up from the other side with a cracking sound, plunging into a black screen.

"This wretched beast!" Wang Xiaosheng instinctively cursed, then realized there were other people present.

After quickly composing himself, Wang Xiaosheng turned his concern to Hu Tuzhi, immediately saying, "Professor Hu, I'm sorry, don't take it to heart... Professor Hu… Professor Hu? What's wrong with you?"

Wang Xiaosheng looked puzzled at Hu Tuzhi.

At this moment, Hu Tuzhi showed no anger or desire to speak, rather he was like a soul being entranced by a ghost, his eyes blankly staring.

"..."

After a while, Hu Tuzhi finally came around, but his expression was still a bit dazed.

If it were an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't understand what had just happened, but as an expert, he wasn't someone who merely sought fame without substance.

Wang Dawei's random collapse seen in the video and the visible expanding Ethereal Fluctuation indicated that a skill was certainly activated.

But this skill wasn't sound-based, not even fire, common, steel, or wind, because this skill caused almost no interference with objects, otherwise, the phone's recording system wouldn't be intact, it would've been shattered along with everything else, not capable of being pecked by the White Phoenix Parrot for so long before the call ended.

Excluding the possibility of the father and son teaming up to fool him, someone who had nothing better to do, leaves only one possibility.

Spiritual Skills.

It was indeed a Spiritual Skill.

He murmured, "No doubt, that's a Spiritual Skill similar to [Spiritual Explosion], such explosive abilities can only be mastered by Spirit Beasts that belong to this element, but how could the White Phoenix Parrot possibly be a Spiritual Spirit Beast?"

As an Intermediate Researcher of avian Spirit Beasts, he had studied the evolution of the White Phoenix Parrot for nearly a decade and had never considered that the White Phoenix Parrot could develop in the direction of the Spiritual Element since the White Phoenix Parrot cannot naturally comprehend any Spiritual Skills after leveling up, and almost no parrot-form Spirit Beasts exist within the Spiritual Element.

The researcher's energy is limited, no one would choose not to explore the four attributes (wind, common, steel, fire) that the White Phoenix Parrot can use and instead pursue an attribute with no clues.

But now, the truth was in front of Hu Tuzhi, although the exact principle was unknown, the White Phoenix Parrot could indeed learn skills that are extremely difficult for non-spiritual Spirit Beasts, almost allowing a bold conjecture that no one had ever thought of before.

The White Phoenix Parrot is actually a dual-element Spirit Beast of "fire and spirit."

This White Phoenix Parrot of Wang Dawei's is among the top tier of green-grade Spirit Beasts, and a significant reason why he has the chance to contract it is that the White Phoenix Parrot's grade is somewhat inflated.

Though it can evolve to gain blue-grade potential like the {御三家} series, with high intelligence, able to use skills of four attributes, each skill's power isn't impressive compared to Spirit Beasts specializing in one attribute. Its practical performance in the wilderness or secret realms, compared with the same grade Spirit Beasts, indeed shows no advantage.

Even in the academic world, there's an ongoing debate about what the primary attribute of the White Phoenix Parrot is.

Hu Tuzhi was promoted to Intermediate Researcher because he helped a White Phoenix Parrot evolve back to an ancestral "Fire Immortal Phoenix," at least proving that the main attribute of the White Phoenix Parrot's Phoenix Bloodline includes the Fire Attribute.

"Mr… Wang."

After a long silence, Hu Tuzhi looked at Wang Xiaosheng, forcing a smile, "Your son and that student Lin have a great relationship, could you help introduce me?"

"...Ah?"

Wang Xiaosheng was baffled by this sudden closeness, it was the first time he heard Hu Tuzhi refer to him as "Mr. Wang," and thus misunderstood Hu Tuzhi's intention, he wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, hesitated for a moment, and still said, "Professor Hu, the kid's just being thoughtless, you are magnanimous, don't hold a grudge."

"..."

A subtle expression flashed on Hu Tuzhi's face.

Apparently, Wang Dawei's unpredictability wasn't without reason.
