The higher-ups at Canglong Academy not only swiftly approved the exchange student application submitted by Zhao Lie and his group, but also assigned a mentor to personally lead the team.

This mentor is also quite prestigious within the academy. His famous contracted spirit beast is a rare "Drunken Dream Rainbow Wing Butterfly," which is addicted to alcohol, especially the spirit wine brewed with the chef's exclusive secret recipe.

Therefore, it's difficult to say how much of this mentor's volunteering to lead the team was for official business, and how much was driven by a personal motive of "chasing after drinks"...

In any case, the Azure Dragon Academy exchange group, composed of elite students and highly capable instructors, embarked on their journey to the Magic City Academy with a subtle purpose.

……

At the Magic City Academy, in recent days, Qin Ming's main battle spirit beasts have not only been systematically absorbing the resources provided by Master Zheng and steadily accumulating spiritual energy, but have also completed a massive amount of practical combat training in the academy's various training grounds and combat halls.

From the initial mixed results that required Qin Ming's careful command, to the gradual development of exquisite tactical coordination, and now, as long as the opponent does not have an absolute suppression in a major realm or an excessively exaggerated attribute restraint, they are almost never defeated.

The Magic City Academy, after all, gathers the most outstanding young spirit masters in the southern region. The level of competition here is far superior to what it was like in Siyuan City.

Every victory is hard-won and all the more valuable. Under this high-intensity practical training, Keda and Cangxuan not only made rapid progress in their strength, but also made a name for themselves in the student circle.

Due to her elegance and affinity with the moon, Keda earned the nickname "A Stunning Beauty Under the Moon".

Cang Xuan earned the praise of the "Omniscient Wolf King" with his calm fighting style and his overall control and insight.

Little Fatty, however, wasn't very enthusiastic about training.

Qin Ming had tried to entice him to participate, but he always lacked interest and relied entirely on his thick skin and the strange spatial abilities to wear down his opponent.

No matter who the opponent is, his template doesn't need to be changed; it's clearly not a serious match.

After just a few games, Little Fatty started arriving late and leaving early.

However, when he is absent, he always delivers a unique answer.

When Keda and Cangxuan returned to their lodgings after a long day of training, they were starving, only to find a delicious and visually appealing "feast" laid out on their table!

These dishes are not only incredibly delicious, but they also effectively replenish energy, gently nourish the body and mind, and have remarkable effects on cultivation.

From the initial whole fish banquet to the later medicinal cuisine paired with various exotic flowers and herbs, and then to the recent "specialty dishes" with miraculous effects that even Qin Ming couldn't name, the "logistical support" provided by Xiao Pang can be described as ever-changing and extremely creative.

When you're exhausted and hungry, the temptation of such a carefully prepared meal is irresistible.

Not to mention Qin Ming, even Keda and Cangxuan were completely fooled.

Once, while munching on a crispy and fragrant fried fish made of spirit crystals, Keda mumbled to Little Fatty, "Gah! Turtle Bro! Your skills... are amazing! From now on, you just focus on this! Leave the training and fighting to Duck and Wolf Bro! They'll make sure you don't get hurt!"

Although Cang Xuan didn't speak, he chewed very quickly, and his eyes revealed his approval that "this is very reasonable."

However, this wonderful proposal of "specialized division of labor" ultimately failed to be implemented, surprisingly because Little Fatty himself objected!

"Hmm," Little Fatty swallowed a mouthful of delicious fish soup and said slowly, "I appreciate Brother Keda and Brother Cangxuan's kindness. However, improving one's strength is also very important for the turtle's 'career development'!"

"A more stable space allows for the raising of more things; enhanced perception makes selecting food and monitoring growth more accurate; and a stronger body makes it easier for the turtle to 'collect' food! Therefore, cultivation cannot be neglected!"

These words stunned everyone on the spot, and even Qin Ming exclaimed that Little Fatty had grown up!

Then, a shrewd glint flashed in Little Fatty's eyes as he continued, "However, things like daily classes and repetitive, tedious combat training... Turtle thinks it's indeed possible to ask the two brothers to help out, so that Turtle can focus his energy on tackling the key technical challenges!"

Qin Ming was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by these "profound" remarks.

He had learned about Xiao Pang's business development and even watched Xiao Pang's breeding industry flourish and thrive.

Qin Ming sometimes wondered if he had held back a "commercial breeding prodigy" when he was young, by not enrolling him in a few preparatory classes.

That day, Qin Ming had just finished a class on the theory of spirit beast coordination tactics and returned to his dormitory when he saw Little Fatty crawling over, head tilted back, his round face full of pride.

"Hmm, boss! The tortoise succeeded again! He's successfully planted two new spirit trees!" He gestured with his paw, indicating the names. "They're growing very well, not far from the sapling of the Brahma tree!"

"Really? That's amazing, Fatty!" Qin Ming's eyes lit up, and he praised sincerely.

He knew the difficulty of cultivating spiritual plants, especially rare spiritual trees.

Like the sapling of the Bodhi tree, even though it sprouted unexpectedly, the more precious the spiritual plant, the more delicate it is. If the environment is even slightly unsuitable, all the previous efforts may be in vain.

It's not that with Cangxuan's help, Little Fatty can rest easy.

Even Xiaopang, a carnivore, had never been very interested in non-fruiting plants and had a serious lack of planting experience, let alone such inedible tree species.

His willingness to now put in the effort to try planting other sacred trees is clearly to accumulate experience, create a better growing environment for the bonfire seedlings, or explore more suitable companion plants.

Qin Ming saw this extra effort put in for the "ultimate goal" and of course he had to give it a good commendation.

"You did a great job!"

The chubby little boy, feeling appreciated, wagged his tail and boasted, "Hey, boss, you don't know, the turtle discovered that some tree species are good for fish!"

Qin Ming understood that a healthy ecosystem promotes mutual benefit. But he was genuinely curious about the specifics of how it was beneficial, so he eagerly pressed, "Oh? How exactly are the benefits? Tell me in detail?"

Little Fatty's eyes lit up, and he declared confidently, "Grilling the fish makes it even more flavorful!"

Qin Ming: "..."

His smile froze instantly, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.

So, Little Fatty planted trees so... he could use them as seasoning for the fish?!

Is this good for the fish?

Do the fish know?

Little Fatty, oblivious to his boss's subtle feelings, was still basking in his own smugness and continued to share, "These leaves, though sour and astringent, have a sweet aftertaste and are perfect for cleansing the palate after meals."

Cleansing the palate after a meal? Qin Ming fell silent again.

Perhaps because no one responded for a while, the chubby boy got anxious because he hadn't received any affirmation.

"Really! Boss, don't you believe me? Turtle asked Master Liu about this!"

He said that a complete meal, from the appetizers and ingredients to the seasoning and aroma of the main course, and then to the cleansing and refreshing dishes after the meal, all require careful attention!

"The tortoise is a professional!"
