For the next two days, the entire border of the Blue Sea was filled with an unusually strong fragrance.

The aroma wafted continuously from the ventilation openings of the canteen kitchen, spreading along the corridors and passageways throughout the entire base. Even the sentries on the edge could smell the rich, fresh scent wafting from afar when changing shifts.

Top-grade spiritual food interacts with the spiritual energy of the outside world. Each time it is cooked, it causes a brief redistribution of the spiritual energy in the surrounding air, so its aroma is truly not something that can be suppressed by ordinary means.

Every time the strange fragrance wafts over, people unconsciously become momentarily dazed, let alone the spirit beasts with their keen sense of smell.

The patrolling beasts that are training will suddenly stop, and the clerks who are working on their papers will unconsciously look up.

Even the most disciplined messenger couldn't help but slow down when passing by the cafeteria.

If the pressure at the border hadn't eased so much recently, something might have gone wrong.

"The aroma is so enticing, it makes my soul tremble! I'd do anything to taste it!"

On the stone steps beside the training field, a young team member put down his water bottle, took a deep sniff in the direction of the canteen, and stared unabashedly at the outline of the rooftops opposite.

"Me too." Another team member next to him closed the scroll, clearly also distracted by the aroma.

The two exchanged glances, as if they had quickly reached a consensus during their eye contact.

"How about we rush into the cafeteria all night? Even if we can't eat there, just smelling or seeing it will be good enough."

"This isn't a good idea, there's also the issue of discipline..."

"If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll have another chance? Besides, didn't you say you were willing to do anything?"

"Yeah, then add me in too." The little hesitation was instantly forgotten.

These conversations didn't just happen in one place.

Because of his breakthrough in spiritual power after connecting with heaven and earth, Qin Ming was always particularly sensitive to these endless discussions, and he felt somewhat uneasy whenever he heard these conversations.

So he tried to find a solution.

He may not have time to deal with it right now, but judging from Xiao Pang's behavior, if he doesn't find a solution, he'll cause trouble wherever he goes, and sooner or later something bad will happen.

If this level of exotic fragrance is exposed to the wrong place at the wrong time, the resulting loss of control and trouble will be considerable.

With Qin Ming's current array formation skills and talent, he naturally has a plan.

He quickly sketched out the general structure of several closed formations in his mind. Each one was designed with a corresponding isolation layer based on the frequency of interaction between spiritual energy and the outside world. Once formed, it could effectively limit the spread of fragrance.

But once he started cooking, he suddenly realized that the main ingredient was of the seventh rank, and the residual energy in the sea beast's body far exceeded the volatilization threshold of ordinary spiritual materials.

The head chef is indeed quite capable, and he did not compromise on the quality of the ingredients. He brought out the best in the characteristics of each ingredient, which directly resulted in the final product, Ling Shan, having an energy supermodel.

So Qin Ming had an idea, but his strength and level were insufficient to make it happen!

Those array structures are theoretically feasible, but in actual operation, they require a more powerful framework and energy to maintain a stable isolation effect, which is indeed a step behind his current level.

Even if we have enough strength in the future, the material consumption of the formation will still be a problem.

Qin Ming smoothly turned to remind Xiao Pang to strengthen his practice of spatial isolation skills, so that he could reach the point where he could remotely control it, use it without interruption, or move it on its own as soon as possible.

This is very important; it concerns the long-term stability of their catering business!

Under Qin Ming's nagging, Little Fatty picked up the skill he had given up halfway through.

With these complex feelings in mind, Qin Ming left the Blue Sea border three days later.

The head chef finished processing the last batch of ingredients as promised, and Qin Ming stood in front of the teleportation array to check his luggage.

Originally, Xiao Pang's strength and realm were insufficient to charge the key of the teleportation array, but when the Thousand-Armor Turtle Ancestor helped Xiao Pang break through, the energy overflowing from his body actually made up for the missing key on its own.

It even has enough energy surplus for a long-distance teleport back to the Magic City Academy.

Yes, Qin Ming needs to go back.

With his current strength, he could graduate early; his current level of ability far surpasses that of ordinary graduates.

However, in peacetime, he needs to go through a process to complete the assessment.

At the same time, I will participate in the once-a-decade inter-school festival as the last student enrolled.

The college will invite outstanding alumni from all years to participate in this celebration, exchange ideas and showcase their talents. Sufficient resources and space have been reserved for each section, from future prospects to external exchanges.

Qin Ming had been reminded by Senior Wang long ago that he didn't want to be absent unless there were special circumstances.

He also took this opportunity to complete his certification as a high-level spirit master and learn relevant knowledge.

The advancement was too fast, and the fact that we were in the unreliable underwater environment beforehand meant we were still behind on information.

For example, he only has a superficial understanding of the rights and interests of high-level spirit masters, the procedures for cross-regional contract registration, and the application process for exotic resources.

The celebration happened to have high-level spirit masters from all over the world, so he could observe and learn more after consulting with Senior Wang Tianbing.

Qin Ming quickly browsed through the academy's related posts, and the next second his gaze was drawn to a certain section—

"Are there any registrations for the coaching tournament? Or is the deadline today?"

The coaching competition is open to current students, with alumni serving as coaches. The two sides compete in a designated venue, and professional instructors will break down the operational details of both sides after the competition.

As current students, they are naturally the ones being guided. Among the students from previous years who come to exchange ideas, the top performers are no less than or even surpass their current mentors. This is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for current students.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Ming discovered that all expenses were waived, the venue and medical facilities were of competition standard, and top-notch commentators had been invited.

As for whether his opponent can complete the coaching match with peace of mind, given his skill level, that's completely unimportant.

At a high level, finding a suitable opponent of similar skill without incurring venue costs or post-match medical support is no easy task.

"Sign up! Sign up!"

Qin Ming quickly downloaded the registration form and filled in a lot of information.
