Chapter 306: Temperament (3)

‘Boshi Tower.’

Jiu Han raised an eyebrow, carefully pondering the meaning behind Lu Ming’s words.

“It’s not too late to work hard now, how can I waste time on matters of the heart?”

“Oh, just this sentence alone, and 1 can let you pa.s.s…”

Without a doubt, these words spoken by Lu Ming greatly satisfied Jiu Han.

With his endless lifespan and vast life experience, he naturally understood the wisdom of the saying “The best time to plant a tree was a year ago, the second-best time is now.”

As an educator, Jiu Han was not afraid that one was not talented, but he was afraid that one would not work hard.

The most tragic thing was those with exceptional talent who squandered everything due to laziness and temptation – Jiuhan had seen many such geniuses….

From the looks of it, it seemed that Lu Ming was not one of those people.

He immediately arrived at the Cultivation Hall. Both Lu Ming and Lin Feng were in different dream scenarios, yet they were both waiting quietly.

For an entire two hours, neither of them displayed any impatience. Lin Feng simply waited, while Lu Ming a.s.sumed a posture and began to cultivate the Body Forging technique pa.s.sed down from his family.

One time, two times, three times, four times…

After repeating it four times, when Lu Ming was drenched in sweat and panting, a voice came from not far away.

“Why are you so diligent today?”

Lu Ming raised his head to look at the source of the voice and respectfully greeted, “Father, I just felt that I’ve wasted my time in the past, so 1 want to work hard to make up for my past mistakes.”

Old Lu, a plump middle-aged man with a striking resemblance to Jiu Han in his demeanor and appearance, heard Lu Ming’s words and immediately chuckled.

“It’s good that you have this realization. You’re still relatively young. It’s not too late for you to work hard now.”

After a pause, Old Lu continued, “I want to give you two options for today’s cultivation imparting.”

“The first is a fast-track method that can get you to the Ancient Realm within a hundred years.”

“The second is the foundational method. Although it progresses more slowly, your potential in the future will be much greater. Which one do you choose?”

In the examination area, both Lu Ming and Lin Feng fell into silence.

After a long time, Lin Feng spoke first, “Father, which option do you want me to choose?”

Jiu Han turned his gaze to Lu Ming and heard Lu Ming make his choice.

“I choose the foundational method.”

The temperament tests did not have an absolutely correct answer; they merely provided insights into a person’s character, temperament, and his concepts of good and evil.

Just like the previous scenario involving temptation—even if he did not pa.s.s it, it did not mean that he would fail the examination.

This was because being lecherous was definitely not a major fault. In fact, it was not even a fault. It was just a human instinct.

Similarly, in this cultivation impartation scenario, there was no clear right or wrong choice.

“Lin Feng asked his father for guidance, not because he lacked a decision of his own, but because he listened to the elder’s words. His father is a quasi-divine-level expert, naturally more knowledgeable than a profligate son like him. And the choice he offered was probably better than what Lin Feng might have chosen himself.”

“He’s obedient and not rebellious, which is good.”

After evaluating Lin Feng in this way, Jiu Han looked at Lu Ming. “Choosing the foundational method indicates that this boy is actually ambitious and has great aspirations. He doesn’t want to settle for mediocrity. That’s good.”

But choosing the first option was also acceptable.

Choosing the first option meant the person was down-to-earth, lacking grand ambitions but excelling in diligence – it was also good.

In fact, there was another option.

Asking his father for a fast and solid cultivation technique. This meant that this person was flexible and quick-witted, with a suspicion of taking shortcuts. However, as the saying goes, everything has two sides; this was also acceptable.

At this moment, Jiuhan’s two promising disciples had different choices.

This made Jiu Han narrow his eyes and smile, “The real challenge is still ahead. What will you two do next?”

Inside the dream, the good ol’ dad imparted different cultivation techniques to the candidates based on their choices.

-Of course, there was no technique that was both fast and strong.

Lu Ming and Lin Feng had both received the slow but promising foundational techniques.

While explaining some key points of their cultivation, Old Dad suddenly received a whisper from the steward, causing a trace of concern to appear on his face.

Lin Feng immediately asked, “Father, is there something troubling you?”

Old Dad shook his head slightly and did not say a word.

On Lu Ming’s side, he was just chewing over the key points of the cultivation technique that Old Dad had just explained, seemingly oblivious to the worry on Old Dad’s face.

Old Dad was the first to speak, “That’s all for today’s lesson. 1 have some matters to attend to. If you have any questions about your cultivation in the future, come find me at any time.”

After saying that, he stood up and left, and Lu Ming did not say a word from the beginning to the end; he was completely immersed in his cultivation state.

Only when Old Dad hurriedly reached the door did he suddenly turn around to look at Lu Ming. “By the way, there may be some turbulence in the city during this period. Stay at home and don’t go out to hang out with your friends.”

Lu Ming nodded, “1 understand.”

Then, he watched as Old Dad walked out of the door.

When Lin Feng heard his Old Dad’s words, his eyes flashed.

Upon returning to his courtyard, Lin Feng summoned a servant, and in no time, he learned about various events, both big and small, that had happened in the city during this period of time.

“Enemies?”

“Duel?”

Lin Feng could not help but frown.

The life experiences of every quasi-divine-level expert were legendary.

And Old Dad in the dream was no exception.

And legendary experiences were invariably accompanied by antagonists and enemies.

Recently, without the knowledge of the candidates, a significant event had created a big commotion in Xuanshui City.

The newly promoted quasi-G.o.d, Jie Hai, has arrived near Xuanshui City and openly challenged Old Dad to a life-and-death duel to avenge his father and brother!

It was a personal blood feud and a matter of prestige.

Old Dad could not refuse this battle and could only agree to it.

The decisive battle was tentatively set for a month from that day.

After summarizing this information, Lin Feng pondered for a long time.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming had no knowledge of this matter and had no intention of inquiring about it.

Returning to the courtyard with the cultivation technique, Lu Ming went into seclusion and immediately began intensive training!

The contrasting behavior of Lu Ming and Lin Feng naturally received different evaluations from Jiu Han.

“In comparison, Lin Feng’s thoughts and observation skills are sharp. His performance can even be considered quite perfect…”

“As for Lu Ming…”

Watching Lu Ming in the dream relentlessly training, other than eating and sleeping, he was focused on cultivating. Jiu Han admitted that he could not quite understand Lu Ming.

“Why does this disciple of mine seem a bit odd…”

It could not be said that Lu Ming had made the wrong choice.

How could a profligate young master like him interfere when it came to quasi divine level matters? And if his Old Dad did not share certain information with him, there was no need for him to know, and even if he knew, he would not be of much help.

In any case, there was no problem or mistake in Lu Ming’s choice.

However, it gave Jiu Han a very strange feeling…

“Forget it, Let’s observe a little longer.”

Muttering to himself, Jiu Han refocused his attention on the dream examination hall..
