Famous Sword · Siming:
A magical item originating from a certain canyon. After equipping it, the user's physical attack power is enhanced. When the user receives fatal damage, they will not die immediately; instead, they gain temporary invincibility and a 30% increase in movement speed for one second.
Cooldown: 120 seconds.
After reading the description of the famous sword Siming, Yin Zhang was instantly overjoyed. He hadn't expected that even the effects and cooldown would be exactly the same as what he remembered.
With an item like this, as long as he didn't recklessly seek death in the future, his personal safety would basically be guaranteed—and he might even be able to turn the tables and kill his enemies instead.
Without the slightest hesitation, he made his choice.
"System, I choose the first option!"

Meanwhile, in the spectator stands of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.
Qin Ming was walking alongside a bespectacled man and a short, muscular middle-aged man.
On the Spirit Arena below, the two competing teams were locked in an intense battle, drawing waves of enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
Yet Qin Ming felt deeply uncomfortable.
He was only twenty-three years old this year, already possessing forty-sixth-rank Spirit Power. Among Spirit Masters of his age, he could definitely be considered outstanding.
And yet, because his academy was nothing more than a small, obscure school—one that didn't even qualify to participate in the Elite Tournament—he could only sit in the stands, watching with longing eyes as those academy teams whose overall strength was far inferior to his, teams that didn't even have a single Spirit Ancestor, fought on the arena like chickens pecking at each other.
How could he possibly accept that?
"Sigh…"
Seeing Qin Ming's clenched fists and the unwillingness written all over his face, Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly as well.
They, too, wanted to lead their academy team to dominate the Elite Tournament. But the problem wasn't just that their academy lacked the qualifications to participate—right now, they didn't even have seven students in total. Even if they were qualified, without seven members, there was no way they could compete.
After some searching, Yin Zhang finally found Qin Ming.
It wasn't that he remembered Qin Ming's appearance particularly well.
Rather, Flender's crafty, merchant-like face and Zhao Wuji's short yet powerfully built physique were deeply etched into his memory.
So after spotting the two of them, he naturally noticed Qin Ming sitting beside them.
Qin Ming had short red hair, which suited his Blazing Wolf Spirit perfectly.
"He looks extremely unwilling," Yin Zhang thought. "In that case… I do have an idea."
With things being like this, it wouldn't be difficult at all.
When it was time for a break, Yin Zhang said, "Uncle Qiangu, I have something I'd like to ask you."
Unexpectedly, Qiangu Yuan merely glanced at him and said nothing.
Yin Zhang's heart skipped a beat. Had his relationship with Yunying been discovered?
That seemed very likely.
After the morning matches of the Elite Tournament ended, Yin Zhang went straight to find Qin Ming.
"Who are you?" Qin Ming asked curiously, looking at the tall, handsome boy in front of him.
"Hehe. Your name is Qin Ming, right?" Yin Zhang said with a smile. "I came to find you because I know you're very strong, and you're not even twenty-five yet. There's an academy that wants you to join their team and help them participate in the Elite Tournament."
Yin Zhang made it up on the spot.
"Huh?" Qin Ming was stunned at first, then overjoyed.
The sudden happiness completely clouded his judgment, and he failed to notice the obvious loopholes in Yin Zhang's words.
"Which academy?" he asked eagerly.
Yin Zhang smiled and shook his head. "No. You have to agree first. Otherwise, it could cause trouble for them. You know, many academies value talents like you. I also know you're still with an academy right now, so I'll give you some time to think it over."
"Then… I'll go talk to my two teachers and explain things clearly first," Qin Ming said quickly. "Where should we meet afterward? It won't take me long."
"If it won't take long, I'll just wait here," Yin Zhang replied with a smile, nodding.
"Alright, alright, I'll go find my teachers right now!"
Qin Ming hurried off to look for Flender and Zhao Wuji, who hadn't gone far.
Seeing Qin Ming rushing over, Flender asked in confusion, "Xiao Ming, what's wrong? Why do you look so flustered?"
Qin Ming felt a little guilty, but thinking about the opportunity to participate in the Elite Tournament being right in front of him, he steeled his resolve.
"Dean, Teacher Zhao, it's like this," Qin Ming said. "Just now, someone came to find me. He said he can recommend me to an academy that has the qualifications to participate in the Elite Tournament. I… I wanted to ask for your opinions."
Flender's heart skipped a beat. After exchanging a glance with Zhao Wuji, he said, "Xiao Ming, are you sure this information is reliable? Don't get scammed."
"That's right," Zhao Wuji added. "This sounds a bit fake. The competition is already halfway through—how could someone suddenly transfer to another academy to participate in the Elite Tournament?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming hesitated as well.
Flender, however, sighed. "But it doesn't really seem like there's anything to scam you out of. Take us to see him. The two of us can judge whether it's true or false."
Qin Ming immediately led Flender and Zhao Wuji to Yin Zhang.
"You're the one who wants to recommend Xiao Ming to participate in the Elite Tournament?" Flender asked skeptically. "Do you really have that kind of capability?"
He looked Yin Zhang up and down. Although the boy appeared extraordinary, there was no way to know whether his words were true.
Zhao Wuji nodded as well. "That's right. Show us some proof."
Yin Zhang smiled faintly. He placed a hand on the golden bead chain around his neck and took out the uniform of Spirit Hall Academy from it.
Chuckling softly, he said, "I am a member of Spirit Hall Academy. I think Brother Qin Ming has excellent talent, so I want to help him fulfill his wish."
"Spirit Hall Academy?!" Flender was greatly shocked.
Zhao Wuji, on the other hand, kept a gloomy expression and said nothing. Back then, he had been hunted by Spirit Hall and only barely escaped to Suotuo City, where he later partnered with Flender to open their academy.
"Yes," Yin Zhang nodded. He then looked at Qin Ming and saw that he had fallen into deep thought.
"I can ask the Dragon Turtle Douluo who is leading this trip to help," Yin Zhang continued calmly. "That way, Brother Qin Ming can enter an academy and participate in the Elite Tournament. As for the price… it's very simple. As long as Brother Qin Ming joins Spirit Hall after graduating, that will be enough."
