Chapter 311: Lin Feng
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was not that Lu Ming had noticed any big problems.
It was mainly because he had a lingering feeling that something was off with Lin Feng. He felt that Lin Feng was hypocritical…
In short, it gave Lu Ming a sense of unease.
However, upon closer reflection, Lu Ming thought he might be overly suspicious.
Since Lin Feng could pass the temperament test, it meant that even if he had some issues, they might not be significant, at least not in the eyes of Jiu Han.
“It’s better to have less interaction with him.”
Lu Ming was not a social butterfly and did not need many friends. In fact, not having friends was preferable to him. So, he decided to stop thinking too deeply about what secrets Lin Feng might have or what kind of person he was.
‘It has nothing to do with me.’
He followed Jiang Weiquan to the Boshi Tower.
At the base of the tower, there were a few rows of standalone courtyards arranged in order, in a beautiful and serene setting.
“What do you think of courtyard number 54, Student Lu?” Jiang Weiquan asked.
Jiang Weiquan pointed at the courtyard number 54. Lu Ming asked, “Is this the place for students to stay?”
Jiang Weiquan smiled faintly, “It’s indeed for students, but not for ordinary students… In short, you don’t have to think too much about these things. Just tell me if you’re satisfied or not.”
Lu Ming immediately nodded, “I’m definitely satisfied.”
The accommodation issue was thus resolved.
Next up was the cultivation and waiting for Jiu Han’s teaching session the following day.
As he watched Lu Ming walk away, Lin Feng took a deep breath.
A refreshing smile appeared on his face. Soon, he left the examination hall and even left the Three Elements Academy.
He walked into a hotel, went to his reserved room, took a shower, and rested for a while. Eventually, he lay on the couch, and unconsciously, he drifted into a dream…
His consciousness began to blur and he sank as if he had fallen into an abyss.
Soon, in his dream, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes.
In front of him, he could see a half-human-high crimson pupil hidden in the shadows. Within those crimson eyes, there was a tall and strong figure whose face could not be clearly seen, standing quietly.
This made Lin Feng take a deep breath. Then, he lowered his head respectfully and said, “Master.”
“Hmph.”
The figure in the crimson eyes made a low sound.
“How did the assessment go?”
“I passed it smoothly, and 1 have to thank Teacher for the Source Dream Power. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t have been confident enough to pass the temperament assessment.”
The temperament assessment did not just test on the candidates’ temperament. The Crystal Pillar also had the ability to detect hostility intent. If there were spies from the external factions trying to infiltrate the Three Elements Academy, the temperament assessment served as an insurmountable barrier for them.
For a long time, the Three Elements Academy and even the Hundred Schools of Philosophy had used this move to screen out countless secret agents. However, in this world, there was no perfect method.
Especially after the appearance of a mutant some time ago that specialized in the dream system…
After Lin Feng finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment and added, “However, even though I’m a lucky seedling and have retained my original memories in the dream realm assessment, I’m only an in-name disciple and not Jiu Han’s personal disciple.”
The figure in the crimson eyes said, “An in-name disciple is already not bad.
Old Jiu Han has long stopped accepting personal disciples.”
Lin Feng continued, “However, Master, Old Jiu Han made an exception this time. He accepted a guy called Lu Ming as his personal disciple…”
“Oh—”
The figure in the crimson eyes expressed its astonishment. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Tell me in detail about that person’s characteristics.”
Lin Feng then proceeded to describe the events that had taken place.
Soon, Lin Feng finished speaking, and the figure in the crimson eyes fell into deep thought.
A moment later, he chuckled softly, “This person is quite interesting. Old Jiu Han has really struck gold this time. It’s not your fault that you can’t compare to him because you truly can’t compare to him…”
Lin Feng,”…”
“But there’s one thing you’re better at,” the figure in the crimson eyes said softly, “You’re on the right side, while he chose the wrong side.”
“This has already determined the outcome of the two of you… After all, a dead genius can never be a true genius.”
Lin Feng’s face lit up, “1 appreciate your guidance, Master.”
The figure in the crimson eyes waved his hand, “It’s not so much guidance as 1 have my own plans for taking you in as my disciple.”
“And your most important task now is to stay hidden around Jiu Han and not give yourself away. When we, the subversives, attack the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, you might be able to play an important role.”
Lin Feng nodded again, “I won’t let Master down.”
The figure in the crimson eyes continued, “You can enter the dream and contact me at any time if you lack anything or need assistance. However, you must not enter the dream within the Boshi Tower. It’s easy for Old Jiuhan to see through it.”
Lin Feng responded, “Understood, Master.”
“By the way, there’s one more thing. You mentioned that Lu Ming used a communication token to insult a Divine Spirit Realm expert from the subversives, right?”
“Yes, that’s correct.”
“Hmm, find an opportunity to lure him out of the Hundred Schools of Philosophy, and someone will kill him. This will not only eliminate a competitor but also give you all the credit for it. It will be a way for me to pave the path for you within the organization when you do a favor for the Spirit Realm experts in the organization.”
A ferocious glint flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes.
If Lu Ming were to die, his days beside Jiu Han would be much easier.
“I will definitely handle this matter well and not reveal any flaws.”
It was a good night of sweet dreams.
Early the next morning, Lu Ming arrived at the Boshi Tower and saw Lin Feng waiting there.
Lin Feng still had that same smiling face, but Lu Ming could not help feeling that it seemed insincere.
As a result, their conversation was limited to Lin Feng speaking and Lu Ming listening. Lin Feng’s words were dry and lacked substance, and Lu Ming’s responses were equally dry and unenthusiastic.
After a few minutes of such communication, Lin Feng decided not to push further and simply stood by Lu Ming’s side, not too close, not too far, waiting in silence.
Around 8 o’clock in the morning, accompanied by a thunderous noise, the two large doors of the Boshi Tower opened with a resounding crash.
Jiu Han’s voice came from inside.
“Come in.”
When Lu Ming and Lin Feng heard this, they walked into the Boshi Tower.
Boshi Tower was over a thousand meters high and was the tallest building in the entire Xuanshui City.
This place was the residence of Jiu Han, a Divine Spirit Realm expert. The interior was personally designed by him, with all the runic arrays personally created by Jiu Han himself.
There were rumors in the outside world that Boshi Tower was a divine artifact in the hands of Jiu Han.
While this claim lacked concrete evidence, it indirectly confirmed that the Boshi Tower was not an ordinary structure.
As soon as they entered the Boshi Tower, a dense spatial power enveloped Lu Ming and Lin Feng. This spatial power contained a trace of Divine Source, rendering the two of them unable to resist. They could only be wrapped up and teleported to an unknown place.
When the two of them stabilized themselves again, they had already arrived at an indoor space that looked like a classroom. Jiu Han was holding a teaching stick and standing in front of the two of them with his hands behind his back..
