In fact, the final confirmation of the Azure Dragon exchange list is not something that can be achieved simply by submitting an application.

According to the normal procedure, the selection process involves a selection round, an interview round, a practical assessment round, and finally a comprehensive evaluation by the mentor group to determine the final candidate.

But perhaps fearing that Qin Ming might cause some more trouble, he quickly received confirmation of his place and did not mention any further selection or review process.

The notification was sent directly to his communicator, and the wording was so polite it didn't sound like an official document: "Qin Ming, after comprehensive evaluation, you have passed the Canglong Academy's exchange student qualification review. Please assemble at the east gate of the academy on time three days from now..."

Qin Ming looked at the message and remained silent for two seconds.

A comprehensive assessment? He didn't do anything, so what assessment could there be? But he was too lazy to investigate further. He just accepted the favor.

So while others were struggling for the final spot, Qin Ming was preparing for his departure.

With Keda by his side, he completed all the assessments for the semester ahead of schedule.

Going on an exchange program does not mean you can be exempt from courses at your current college. Although for students who get an exchange spot, it's not difficult to make up the exams upon returning.

But Qin Ming would rather finish the exam ahead of schedule than retake it.

After all, he has the ability.

With both diligence and talent, Ke Da was invincible. Qin Ming's academic performance and formation skills were also excellent. In just two days, he managed to finish all the subjects for the entire semester.

The teacher in the academic affairs office looked at his report card with a complicated expression, as if she had seen a ghost.

Meanwhile, Cang Xuan was not idle either.

He went to the Creation Spirit Project Team and inspected the plant growth in the Ink Butterfly Ecological Park time and time again.

The Ink Butterfly Ecological Park is a key project of the academy, specializing in cultivating rare spiritual plants needed for the growth of Ink Butterflies. Cang Xuan, as a "special advisor," checks on the plants' condition every week.

He checked each item one by one: the moonflower was growing well, dew had already formed on the leaves of the starflower, and the vines of the purple water lily had climbed all over the support...

Next, he exchanged all the points allocated by the project team for cultivation resources and spirit crystals that he could use in the near future.

Finally, we bid farewell to the sacred deer.

After hearing the news of his departure, the sacred deer remained silent for a long time. Finally, it nodded its antlers slightly and said, "Go, go see the outside world and broaden your horizons."

Cang Xuan bowed his head as a farewell.

As for Little Fatty, he was in high spirits and didn't completely relinquish his responsibilities as manager.

Just like the loan sharks he once kept accounts for, shrimp can indeed reproduce at an astonishing rate in a suitable environment.

Although he was no longer at the academy, he left behind a large number of tricolor mantis shrimp.

He even wrote a detailed breeding manual, although the handwriting was crooked, the steps were clear and illustrated.

If it weren't for Mr. Liu's insufficient breeding skills, he would have even wanted to keep the colorful mantis shrimp.

Of course, it's also because he has found a species he prefers and needs to clear out his inventory in advance.

And so each of the spirit beasts was busy with its own tasks.

Keda followed Qin Ming to the assessment every day; Cangxuan shuttled back and forth between the project team and the Holy Deer; Xiaopang guarded the shrimp, counted the number, and checked the water quality; Heidong originally had nothing to do, but Xiaopang dragged him to help out; only Huolin was relatively free, lying at home sleeping soundly, euphemistically calling it "recharging".

Time flew by, and the day of departure arrived quickly.

It was early morning, and the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Qin Ming stood in the courtyard, took a deep breath, and pulled a small cloth bag from his pocket.

Those are black hole scales.

He carefully poured the scale powder into his palm, clasped his hands together, and murmured, "Please bless my journey to the exchange site with a smooth one, without any accidents! May I not encounter any strange things! May I go safely and return safely!"

The black hole perched on his shoulder, watching this scene with its small eyes full of confusion.

Brother Turtle, what's the boss doing?

Little Fatty glanced at it and calmly replied: Superstition.

Qin Ming didn't care what they thought.

The Magic City Academy and the Azure Dragon Academy are far apart, with no direct teleportation array, requiring a long journey through the wilderness.

Although the team leader's seventh-tier Drunken Dream Butterfly was theoretically enough to ensure safety, he was still afraid that his luck might be strange and that he might encounter some outrageous adventures.

For example, ancient ruins suddenly open, sleeping beasts suddenly awaken, and powerful figures from two factions fight on the road, affecting innocent people... Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Although Huo Lin has returned, he is, after all, an avatar. Qin Ming does not want him to use the energy of his main body, which would affect his own advancement.

Of course, he didn't tell anyone about this worry; he kept it to himself.

Several spirit beasts that hadn't traveled far before were quite excited. Only Cang Xuan kept his gaze fixed on Qin Ming.

He seemed to understand Qin Ming's worries, his gaze steady and firm, as if he were offering comfort.

He lowered his head and nuzzled Qin Ming, then rubbed Qin Ming's hand against him.

Qin Ming casually picked a large handful, and the feel was as good as ever, which comforted him a lot.

"gather!"

The voice of the teacher leading the group came from not far away.

Qin Ming looked up and saw a middle-aged man standing at the front of the group, with a huge butterfly beside him—the Drunken Dream Rainbow Wing Butterfly, a powerful spirit beast at the peak of the seventh rank, with a halo of light flowing on its wings.

Meng Yu's compound eyes shifted slightly, as if he had spotted Qin Ming's small head near his collar. His whiskers twitched gently, as if in greeting.

"Is everyone here?" The teacher in charge counted the number of people. "Attention, we need to cross the North and South Grand Canyons without stopping along the way. The flight time is about three hours. During this time, no one is allowed to leave the group or act on their own."

His gaze swept over the crowd, lingering on Qin Ming for a few more seconds.

He continued, "Land-based spirit beasts below the third rank are not allowed to be released, as they cannot withstand the pressure and air currents at high altitudes. Released spirit beasts must also be properly controlled and are not allowed to disrupt discipline! Violators will have their exchange privileges revoked and be sent back to the academy!"

Everyone agreed.

Qin Ming left only the Fire Scale and the Black Hole outside, and took the rest back into the Spirit Control Space.

"Ready?"

The teacher in charge confirmed that everyone was in place, and then raised his hand and waved.

Meng Yu flapped his wings and took flight, his enormous wings unfurling. He hovered in mid-air, his wings gently fluttering, casting a dreamlike halo of light.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible force enveloped everyone.

Qin Ming felt his body lighten, as if he were being lifted up by an invisible force. The others were the same; they floated up as if being pulled by invisible threads, converging towards Meng Yu.

With a strong push-back sensation—

The field of vision suddenly rose.

Qin Ming opened his eyes again and looked down. The Magic City Academy was getting smaller and smaller.

Those familiar buildings have all turned into small cubes, shrinking on the ground.

A moment later, the entire academy became a tiny dot, disappearing among the mountains.

The wind howled past.
