After Qin Ming skillfully filled out all the registration information, he scrolled through the page from beginning to end to make sure there were no other important projects with close deadlines.

In the Lingwu Continent, martial arts are revered, and official announcements are mostly written in concise and straightforward language. Qin Ming didn't have to read for long before scrolling to the bottom.

Therefore, he understood the situation.

He then found Zheng Wenjie's and Wang Tianbing's contact information and left messages for each of them.

The message to Zheng Wenjie was casually worded, just a greeting between senior and friend. At the end, it asked if there were any new activities or hidden projects worth noting during the school anniversary celebration. Overall, it expressed anticipation of meeting him.

The messages left for senior Wang Tianbing were more formal. In addition to the usual greetings and best wishes, they focused on confirming in advance whether their dormitory and student information verifications had expired or become invalid.

This was also because Qin Ming had learned from his experience at Canglong Academy; he didn't want to go through another embarrassing chase and escape.

After editing and sending, the "read" status has not yet appeared.

Qin Ming wasn't in a hurry. Putting himself in others' shoes, he was the same way when he was cultivating or fighting. He couldn't guarantee that he would be online all the time, but he would always reply as soon as he saw something.

Therefore, leaving a message is the best way. He has already conveyed the information, and both of them are reliable people, so he is not worried.

Having finished his work, a civil official in uniform walked out from the side door with even steps. After scanning the area around the teleportation array, he walked straight up to Qin Ming, confirmed his identity, and then spoke:

"Your teleportation array will activate in half an hour. Please plan your time accordingly, do not leave, and gather your belongings. Have a pleasant journey!"

Qin Ming nodded slightly: "Okay, thank you."

He had Little Fatty and the Space Stone, so the backpack he carried was only for concealment, which may have given others the illusion that he was not well-prepared with supplies.

Qin Ming didn't mind other people's good intentions, and of course, he didn't need to say anything to explain.

He recalled the patterns he had vaguely seen during the last teleportation array, and wondered if they would change this time due to the different starting point.

Or perhaps the pattern is actually another form of proof for this key; in that case, he'll have to observe it even more carefully this time.

Activating a large teleportation array consumes a significant amount of resources. In addition to the crucial activation of the key, it also involves the tidal utilization of surrounding energy, making it a culmination of the wisdom of spirit masters.

When the markings on the edge of the array circle were filled in one by one, Qin Ming knew that the time had come.

He rose and stepped into the shining light.

……

"The holder of the third key is coming!"

Outside the waiting area of ​​Shanghai Academy, several student representatives responsible for guiding students were standing behind the fence.

One of them turned to his friend and whispered, "These outstanding alumni really bring honor to our alma mater. I wonder how spectacular this year's anniversary celebration will be!"

"I wonder which one it will be, Pan Jiang or Yan Jun?" Another person flipped up the list in their hand, their fingertip pausing on a certain spot on the paper.

The two examples he cited were both outstanding students from the previous years of the academy. They not only performed exceptionally well while in school, but also held important positions in the military and earned their respective nicknames.

The former is known for its impenetrable defense, and every public match is characterized by pure head-on confrontation. It rarely takes the initiative to attack, but it is never defeated.

The latter is known for his masterful use of firepower, which dominates warfare. His operational precision is among the best of his time. In one joint exercise, he once completed a coverage area with three times the standard firepower with just a small team.

"The fluctuations from this teleportation weren't overwhelming, so it doesn't seem to be Yan Jun," another observant person remarked, tapping their finger lightly on the recording panel.

"But Pan Jiang's spiritual energy fluctuations should be more substantial; this light and ethereal feeling doesn't seem like his style."

He paused, finished the sentence, and then a few doubts arose in his own mind.

"They're here!" Several pairs of eyes simultaneously turned towards the center of the teleportation array from behind the fence.

The light within the array circle spreads evenly outward from the brightest point, while the silvery glow at the edges resembles fine sand blown away by the wind, slowly flowing along the direction of the array patterns.

A figure emerged from the light, walking steadily and unhurriedly. As he took the last step out of the array, he slightly turned his head to confirm his direction before coming to a complete stop, revealing a face that most people present could recognize.

"Qin Ming!?"

Qin Ming is far more well-known at Shanghai Academy than at Canglong Academy.

His matches during his hospitalization were repeatedly replayed, and he also participated in several subsequent public events. He was a frequent sight on the training field.

So when he appeared, even though he didn't summon any of his signature spirit beasts, and he didn't need to introduce himself, everyone recognized him.

However, the outstanding student representatives who were receiving the guests were not calm.

They craned their necks and looked back again and again, their gazes passing over Qin Ming's shoulder, landing on the slowly closing array behind him, then moving to the empty space to his left, and then to his right—where was he?

Why is Qin Ming all alone?

The key holder must be at least level 7 to use it. This standard was repeatedly emphasized during their onboarding training. Every activation of the array must be completed by the strong person holding the corresponding key, without exception.

Qin Ming... went out for exchanges before reaching the fourth level, and after half a year away, he was completely transformed and has now returned as a king.

This is like something out of an idol drama! This kind of advancement doesn't make any sense!

The group quickly mentally reviewed the timeline and promotion path.

Unable to confirm the exact strength of the spirit master who was higher than herself, student representative Yin Xi firmly chose the latter, trusting her ability to recognize people and the common sense of advancement.

He closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, quickly composed himself, and stepped forward.

He stopped about two steps away from Qin Ming, bowed slightly, and said, "Hello, senior. May I ask your surname and which year you are from? This will help us register and arrange accommodation and communication later."

His expression was serious, his eyes focused, and his tone carried a humility unique to those facing elders. The registration board in his hand had been turned to a blank page, waiting for him to put pen to paper.

Qin Ming: "?"

His gaze lingered on the earnest and sincere face of his senior, unable to believe what he had just heard.

He clearly remembered being called by his full name just now, so how did he suddenly become a senior? Did something happen in between that he didn't see? Or is it some new kind of welcoming farce?

Qin Ming even turned around to look, but there was no one behind him.

The teleportation array has been completely shut down, and the light within the array circle gradually faded, leaving only a few faint lines remaining on the surface of the stone bricks.

Turning back, Qin Ming was shocked to find that the senior students facing him were humble and patiently waiting for his answer, which did not seem like a trick.

Even the registration board in his hand was held at an angle ready to be used at any time, and his posture was professional and stable. It was not hard to see that there was no trace of wavering in his heart!

Based on the principle of majority rule, Qin Ming himself was somewhat shaken at this moment.
