Lu Yunzheng read the report several times, and even asked for real-time data to verify it again before he believed such an absurd thing.

The integrity curve of the array pattern on the monitoring screen resembles a steadily climbing mountain road, having risen from a low of 37% to 72%, and is still going up.

Each repaired array pattern has a detailed timestamp and location marker, accurate to the specific array pattern node number.

It doesn't seem like a system false alarm at all.

Lu Yunzheng put down the report and let out a long breath.

He recalled the college recommendation letter he had received a few days earlier.

One sentence, which he had only glanced at and moved on from at the time, now lingered clearly in his mind:

The spirit beast this student has contracted possesses top-tier aptitude, and his own talent in formations is equally exceptional. He is destined to shine wherever he goes.

He didn't take those words too seriously at the time.

It wasn't that he was dismissive, but rather that he had seen too many geniuses. Besides, the praise in recommendation letters was always the same old thing; after seeing it so many times, he became immune to it.

The knowledge of formations is profound and the system is complex. Even with the best talent, it takes time to hone one's skills.

It takes three years to get started, five years to achieve some success, and ten years to be considered an expert – this is a consensus in the world of formations.

Even if one has mastered a few minor categories and reached a high level of skill, one cannot be considered a master.

According to Qin Ming's records, he has only been a Spirit Master for a little over a year.

Lu Yunzheng didn't show it on his face, but he was surprised in his heart—this little guy has quite a wide range of knowledge!

No, it's not "a bit broad", it's "outrageously broad"!

The Spirit Gathering Array is the foundation, the Purification Array is the advanced one, the Constant Temperature Array is an application in a specialized field, and the Soundproof Array involves acoustic principles and spiritual resonance. The theoretical basis and practical skills of each array are very different.

How did he manage to master such a vast amount of knowledge in such a short year after becoming a Spirit Master?

Ordinary patterns seemed to distort his behavior.

Lu Yunzheng remained silent for a moment, offering no answer.

But one thing he was certain of was that this young man was worth his time and effort.

Although Qin Ming had not yet come out, Lu Yunzheng's mood had already calmed down.

He stood up, straightened his robes, and said to his teammates, "Let me know when that kid comes out."

He then strode away.

He still has many documents to approve. The daily operation of the border city, the dispatch of patrol teams, and the inventory of supplies all require his signature for confirmation.

Due to the unusual situation in the cultivation room these past few days, he has accumulated a lot of tasks to be done, and if he doesn't deal with them soon, his adjutant will come to urge him.

Of course, there was another reason, which Lu Yunzheng didn't say aloud: he really didn't want to be forcibly encountered by the two "old men" and have them try to find out his information again!

The Myriad Armor Tortoise and the Mysterious Nether Serpent have been practically living near the cultivation room these past few days.

I don't force my way in, and I don't cause any big trouble, but I just love blocking him!

……

Inside the meditation room.

"Oh my, it's finally fixed!"

Qin Ming let out a sigh, and without caring about the dirt, he plopped down on the ground.

His arms ached so much he could barely lift them, his eyes were dry from concentrating for so long, and his spiritual energy was completely depleted!

If it weren't for the invigorating and nourishing feedback during Qingchen's transformation, he might not have been able to handle it.

This is a huge project!

Even with the basic framework intact and only needing some patching, he was already seeing stars due to the complex combination and overlap of multiple formations!

The array in the training room is not isolated, but a sophisticated system.

Each array pattern interacts subtly with the others, causing a ripple effect throughout the entire array.

When repairing, you can't just focus on one pattern; you have to pay attention to the balance of the entire system at all times.

Qin Ming had to redo the work once halfway through, but fortunately, Xiao Pang's material reserves were reassuring.

So when the last array pattern was activated and the entire training room was lit up again, Qin Ming felt a surge of pride.

He also received a moderately strong pounding massage on his back shoulder, neither too light nor too heavy, neither too fast nor too slow, with every inch of force landing precisely on the stiffest part of his muscles.

Qin Ming squinted his eyes comfortably, feeling a warmth in his heart. He knew who it was without even turning around.

Qingchen.

Previously, Qingchen realized from Qin Ming's actions that she seemed to have done something wrong.

Although he didn't fully understand human "repair costs" and "compensation bills," he could see Qin Ming's exhaustion and feel the deep-seated fatigue emanating from his master.

He went through periods of apprehension and anxiety, but eventually learned snake tail massage on his own.

He discovered that the tip of his tail possessed an unexpected dexterity.

Perhaps it's the complete upgrade of his nervous system after the metamorphosis, or perhaps the bloodline of the Azure Emperor Python inherently contains a certain ability to finely control the body, but his tail can perform many operations that he couldn't do before.

Furthermore, his thermal imaging field of view also appears to have been enhanced.

It's so precise that it can detect which muscles are stiff, which muscles are relaxed, which blood vessels have smooth blood flow, and which blood vessels have slight blockages.

It can even determine the depth and extent of fatigue based on subtle differences in skin surface temperature.

It's a strange feeling, like having X-ray vision.

But Qingchen did not act rashly.

He carefully arranged for Qin Ming to be admitted after consulting with his family doctor, Keda, and conducting live experiments on Xiaopang and Cangxuan.

Among them, Keda provided human body data; Xiaopang was thick-skinned and didn't feel much when pressed; Cangxuan was more particular and gave a lot of useful advice.

After this rigorous "clinical trial," Qingchen finally felt comfortable extending his tail towards Qin Ming.

Thus, Qin Ming's experience was excellent.

The tail was like a massage tool tailor-made for him, with just the right temperature, thickness, and pressure, and every press landed precisely on the spot where he needed it most.

He could feel his stiff muscles gradually softening and his aching tendons slowly relaxing.

Under the dual satisfaction of mind and body, Qin Ming unconsciously developed some inappropriate delusions.

If Little Fatty could be a little more perceptive and offer some food and drink, that would be even better.

"By the way, Fatty," Qin Ming adjusted his posture to make himself more comfortable, "where do you want to break through? Here, in the Void Realm, or perhaps check if the Myriad Armored Turtle Palace has any suitable resource space?"

The most important thing for Xiaopang is to make a breakthrough.

The spiritual energy must be abundant, the environment must be stable, and it would be best to have some additional resources to assist, such as special spiritual veins, rare natural treasures, or some kind of formation that can increase the success rate of breakthroughs.

The training room is one option.

Although Qin Ming's repairs haven't completely transformed the place, it's still a decent option considering the almost unlimited energy supply.

The ethereal realm is very familiar to me.

The Wanjia Turtle Palace was the next place they were going to, but judging from the elder friend who was pretending to be young, Qin Ming knew that Little Fatty's gains would definitely be substantial.

The chubby boy's eyes darted around, and he already had a plan in mind.

"Hmm. Let's go to the deep sea. The turtle's friends always brag to him about how many treasures there are in the sea, and the turtle wants to see for himself if there really are that many."

He would talk about things like thousand-year-old coral essence, ten-thousand-year-old cold iron ore, sea spirit pearls that could transform a person, and ambergris that could prolong life. Every time, Gui Ze would talk about them in a flowery way, his spittle flying everywhere, making Xiao Pang's mouth water.

Qin Ming looked at the chubby boy's eager expression and slowly nodded.

Going to see the deep sea is exactly what he wants.
