Chapter 305: Temperament (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

For a moment, everyone was collectively stunned. After a long time, the examiner turned to Lu Ming and smiled gently, “I’m Jiang Weiquan. Junior, I look forward to learning from you in the future.”

Even if Lu Ming’s temperament did not meet the standards, with his extraordinary talent, he would be a disciple-in-name of Jiu Han.

If he did not pull strings now, when would he?

Lu Ming politely responded, “h.e.l.lo, Senior Jiang, I look forward to your guidance in the future.”

At the side, Lin Feng seemed to have figured something out. He deliberately approached Lu Ming, saying, “Brother Lu, we’ll probably be fellow disciples in the future. We should take the time to get to know each other.”

For some reason, Lu Ming felt that Lin Feng’s smile seemed a bit fake.

However, as the saying went, one should not slap a smiling person. So, Lu Ming nodded and said, “We’re fellow disciples, so we should get along well.”

“Hehe,” Lin Feng chuckled, making people feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze, his arrogance from before completely gone.

At this moment, Jiang Weiquan led everyone to another empty room.

He pointed at the empty s.p.a.ce surrounded by the four crystal pillars in the room and said, “This is the examination hall for the temperament test.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Lu Ming, Lin Feng, and the others.

“Enter, sit cross-legged, and focus your thoughts.”

“Wait quietly for the exam to begin.”

When everyone heard this, they walked into the a.s.sessment venue in sequence.

The area of the temperament test examination hall was quite large. It was about 60 to 70 square meters.

It was more than enough s.p.a.ce to accommodate ten people.

Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground. Lu Ming lowered his head and looked at the ground. He could see complicated array patterns carved on the ground.

Jiang Weiquan’s voice echoed from a distance.

“This place, with four crystal pillars as the core, is supplemented by other array formations and restrictions. The effect is to allow the candidates to sleep and fall into a dream, and experience certain events within that dream.”

“Everyone, there’s no need to panic. Just treat it as a short rest, have a good dream. Our Three Elements Academy guarantees that it won’t have any impact on you when you wake up.”

Jiang Weiquan said this probably mainly for Lu Ming and Lin Feng to hear, as a form of goodwill.

After seeing Lu Ming and Lin Feng both nod, Jiang Weiquan waved his hand gently, controlling the source power to activate the crystal pillar.

At the same time, he said, “Ancient Realm candidates, please focus your minds and enter the dream voluntarily!”

This formation could not forcefully affect those from the Ancient Realm; they needed to cooperate willingly.

After hearing this, Lu Ming simply closed his eyes and completely relaxed.

His consciousness drifted, as if sinking into a bottomless abyss.

The profound sensation of weightlessness made Lu Ming a little uncomfortable, but he quickly adapted.

His thoughts began to gradually firm up.

Just like an ordinary person, he drifted into a dream.

Subtle snoring sounds subconsciously sounded from Lu Ming’s mouth…

When Lu Ming opened his eyes again, he found himself in a luxurious room.

A flood of memories began to surface.

“My name is Lu Ming, the only son of the Lu family.”

The Lu family, a powerful family in Xuanshui City, could be considered the local tyrant of the city. The head of the Lu family, Lu Ming’s father, was the strongest expert in Xuanshui City, a quasi-divine-level expert.

These fake memories filled Lu Ming’s mind and completely replaced his original memories.

At this moment, Lu Ming fully accepted his new ident.i.ty, but his personality and temperament remained as they were under the influence of the a.s.sessment array.

Just as there was a knock on the door, Lu Ming walked towards the door.

When he opened the door, he saw two beautiful girls in seductive clothes kneeling before him.

“Young Master, you’re awake.”

In order to protect the candidates’ privacy, the temperament test was not publicized. Even the chief examiner, Jiang Weiquan, could only discern if there was anything wrong with the candidates’ temperaments through the colors on the crystal pillars.

However, this did not pose a challenge for Jiu Han.

As the candidates entered their dreams, a faint light glowed in Jiu Han’s eyes, allowing him to see the candidates’ dreams clearly.

He could clearly see everything that the ten candidates had experienced in their dream.

Although the pa.s.sage of time in reality and in the dream world was different, everything was crystal clear to Jiu Han.

His primary focus was undoubtedly on Lu Ming, with Lin Feng also under his observation.

When he saw in the dream that both of them opened the door and found the maids waiting outside for the purpose of procreation, Jiu Han could not help but laugh heartily.

“Appet.i.te and desire, facing one’s instincts, how will you handle it?”

In the examination hall, the faces of the eight examinees instantly turned red, as if they had experienced pa.s.sionate encounters in their dreams.

This made Jiang Weiquan shake his head slightly.

“The allure of beauty is a significant challenge for most people…”

This was the instinct of living beings to reproduce.

However, the key difference between humans and animals lay in human self-control.

It was not that there was anything wrong with being l.u.s.tful; it was the lack of self-control that could indeed interfere with one’s path to greatness in the future.

Looking at Lu Ming and Lin Feng again, Jiang Weiquan smiled knowingly when he saw the two of them sitting calmly.

“Palace Master Jiu Han indeed has sharp judgment. These two not only have exceptional talents but also decent temperament.”

However, he did not know what the two of them had experienced in their dreams.

Seeing the two beautiful maids, Lin Feng immediately frowned. His face was filled with dignity as he said solemnly, “Today is the day Father imparts his cultivation. How can I delay such an important matter for matters of the heart?!”

“You two, quickly move aside, lest my father becomes impatient!”.

With that, he pushed the two maids away and strode out.

This scene made Jiu Han stroke his beard and smile.

“Understanding the importance of prioritizing, not letting pa.s.sion hinder one’s duties, very good…”

Seeing the two alluring maids, Lu Ming also furrowed his brow..

“Isn’t today the day Father imparts his cultivation? What are the two of you doing here?”

The younger maid coquettishly replied, “We’re here to a.s.sist Young Master with dressing and grooming.”

The other more mature maid added, “There’s still two hours before the Master imparts his cultivation. Young Master could take a moment to rest in the room. At this point, the two female maids blushed and said in unison, “If Young Master can leave an heir, the Old Master won’t blame you even if the impartation of your cultivation was delayed.”

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes as more memories flowed from his mind.

The Lu family had only one descendant for three generations.

The Old Master of the Lu family was a quasi divine level expert, but like father, like son, Lu Ming had excellent resources and apt.i.tude. However, in his youthful arrogance, he cared more about worldly pleasures than cultivation.

Old Master Lu might have given up too, and he just hoped that Lu Ming could at least provide him with a grandchild – if the firstborn was raised astray, then have an illegitimate child…

Therefore, the maids’ words were not entirely wrong.

If he could indeed leave an heir, it would be even more meaningful to the old patriarch than imparting cultivation.

But, at this moment, Lu Ming vaguely sensed something was amiss.

It was not because he sensed that this was the examination hall.

Instead, he felt that he had suddenly matured overnight and come to a realization….

“My strength is low and I’ve wasted my talent. Now that I’m only twenty-six years and nine months old, it’s still not too late to work hard. How can I waste my time on matters of the heart?”

With a sense of righteousness, Lu Ming finished his speech, pushed aside the two maids, and walked out of the courtyard.

At this moment, only one thought filled Lu Ming’s heart.

Cultivate, cultivate, and keep cultivating!

A life without cultivation had no meaning for Lu Ming!

Under normal circ.u.mstances, Young Master Lu could not have gained such enlightenment overnight.

But, this examination process created fake dreams while retaining the candidates’ personalities and temperament.

Because of this, the dream version of Lu Ming did not feel that there was anything strange about his transformation in the dream.

However, the word “cultivation” kept surfacing from the depths of his heart, and he would feel restless if he did not cultivate for a moment..
