"Equip item!"
Yin Zhang selected Overlord Reboot for use. In the next instant, his body felt heavy, as if it were sinking. Upon closer inspection, he could clearly sense subtle changes occurring throughout his body.

The first two rounds of the finals quickly came to an end.
The final top ten of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament were officially decided. They were: Spirit Hall Academy Team, Huang Dou First Team, Imperial Luo Team Two, Huang Luo First Team, Divine Wind Academy Team, Thunder Academy Team, Blazing Academy Team, and Tianshui Academy Team.
"Brother Qin Ming, how does it feel being in Imperial Luo Team Two?"
Yin Zhang smiled as he looked at Qin Ming.
While watching the matches, he had seen Imperial Luo Team Two easily defeat another advanced Spirit Master academy from the Star Luo Empire. Qin Ming's mood was clearly quite good.
When Qin Ming realized it was Yin Zhang, his smile deepened.
"It feels great. Everyone was a bit unwelcoming at first, but after a few matches, they all started accepting me. Most importantly, I have no regrets."
"When I heard that the two great Empires and Spirit Hall were jointly hosting the Elite Tournament every four years, I was thrilled. I finally found a stage where I could fully show my strength. What really made me despair was that Shrek Academy failed to obtain official recognition and ended up being classified as a so-called wild academy…"
At this point, Qin Ming's expression turned a little awkward.
"Well… strictly speaking, Shrek Academy is a wild academy. But that didn't stop me from wanting to compete in the finals. Thanks to meeting you, Xiao Zhang, I plan to go to Spirit City with you after the Elite Tournament ends. I hope you'll look out for me then."
Yin Zhang nodded and smiled.
"That's easy. Don't worry, Brother Qin Ming. Once you join Spirit Hall, I'll arrange a relatively relaxed position for you. You'll mostly focus on cultivation and only occasionally participate in missions with the main force…"
Midway through speaking, Yin Zhang suddenly paused. He remembered that in the original storyline, Qin Ming later became the lead instructor of the Huang Dou Battle Team. His talent in teaching was clearly not bad.
He immediately changed his tone.
"Brother Qin Ming, are you interested in becoming a teacher?"
"A teacher?" Qin Ming was stunned.
"Yes. What you may not know is that Spirit Hall Academy is different from other academies. We're divided into four tiers: Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, and Superior. There's no rigid division between junior, intermediate, and advanced Spirit Master academies."
"If you come to teach, at most you'll need to conduct classes daily. The rest of your time can be devoted entirely to cultivation. You'll also have weekly opportunities to train in the spirit mimicry environment. You should know—Spirit Hall Academy's mimicry environments are the best on the entire continent."
Qin Ming was immediately tempted.
He had always been interested in teaching; otherwise, he wouldn't have become the instructor of the Huang Dou Battle Team in the future.
Now, hearing Yin Zhang describe it like this, his interest surged.
"Then it's settled, Xiao Zhang! I'm very interested in becoming a teacher!"
"Deal," Yin Zhang replied with a gentle smile.
Spirit Hall Academy received a bye in the second round, so Yin Zhang spent the entire day observing the matches.
Through these matches, he discovered that aside from Spirit Hall Academy and the two imperial academy teams, the four elemental academies—Divine Wind, Blazing, Thunder, and Tianshui—were the strongest.
As for Elephant Armor Academy?
They were eliminated before even reaching the finals after encountering Divine Wind Academy.
In the third round, Spirit Hall Academy's opponent was Thunder Academy.
Thunder Academy was backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects. Both the captain and vice-captain possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, and only one person on the entire team was below the Spirit Ancestor realm. They could be considered formidable among all academy teams.
Unfortunately for them, they had drawn Spirit Hall Academy.
[Captain]: Yu Huiming, 24 years old, Spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Level 47 Attack-Type Spirit Ancestor
[Vice-Captain]: Yu Dehua, 24 years old, Spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Level 46 Attack-Type Spirit Ancestor
[Members]: …
After briefly skimming the information, Yin Zhang handed it to Zhou Wu and the others for closer review.
Qiangu Yunying had been leaning against Yin Zhang's shoulder, reading along.
After a moment of thought, she asked softly,
"Xiao Zhang, who should we send out this time? Should I go on stage?"
Yin Zhang smiled faintly.
"Honestly, I think any one of the three of us could win on our own. But as the saying goes, never underestimate your enemy. It wouldn't be good if Thunder Academy is hiding some trump cards."
"How about Zhou Wu and I take the stage, and Sister Yunying rests this round? What do you think?"
Qiangu Yunying pouted, clearly unhappy, but didn't object. She simply sat beside Yin Zhang, looking somewhat sulky.
Yin Zhang smiled helplessly.
After all, Qiangu Yunying was a Spirit Emperor. Looking at the entire first Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, she was already two full realms above the strongest members of any other academy team.
"Alright then," Qiangu Yunying whispered, "but you have to finish quickly. Next time, we go on stage together."
Yin Zhang smiled and nodded.
He then turned to Zhou Wu.
At the moment, Zhou Wu was sitting beside his younger sister, Zhou Yuanyuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan was twenty-two years old. Her Spirit was the Healing Egret, inherited from her and Zhou Wu's mother. She was a Level 47 support-type Spirit Ancestor.
Her Healing Egret Spirit was also a flying-type Spirit. Although she couldn't sustain long-distance flight, she could glide and perform short bursts of flight. More importantly, her healing abilities were extremely powerful.
However, in the previous first-round match against Imperial Luo Team Two, Spirit Hall Academy had crushed their opponents so thoroughly that there had been little need for her support abilities at all.
