Lin Feng, feeling confident in his performance, took the initiative and quickly spoke up.
“If I’m not wrong, my junior brother’s and my a.s.sessment should be different from ordinary candidates.”
Upon hearing this, Jiu Han did not say anything, so Lin Feng continued, “In my opinion, the entire dream realm a.s.sessment should be divided into two stages. The first stage is a month before and after the quasi-G.o.d battle. This stage is what ordinary candidates should experience.”
“At this stage, the examination is mainly about the temperament of the candidates. As long as they’re not completely evil or solely seeking pleasure, it shouldn’t be a problem for them to pa.s.s.”
“However, the subsequent phase is likely the unique a.s.sessment for junior brother and me, given our family’s decline and the deep enmity with Jie Hai.”
After Lin Feng finished explaining, Jiu Han nodded slightly.
“Yes, you’re right.”
Lin Feng smiled, as if he had everything under control, and he continued, “The first-stage of the a.s.sessment is actually not difficult. To me and Junior Brother, the difficulty should be in the second stage of the a.s.sessment.”
“After inheriting the techniques, it’s only two months between seeking revenge for our family and avenging ourselves. This amount of time is simply insufficient for us to gain enough power.”
“Therefore, when facing a quasi-divine-level enemy like Jie Hai, how to survive and exact our revenge has become the focus of the second-stage of the a.s.sessment.”
“My train of thought is like this…”
Lin Feng’s logic was clear as he explained.
“Since he’s a quasi-divine level expert, Jie Hai must have his own enemies.”
“In addition to the connections my father left behind, I obtained a crucial piece of information from Uncle Fei Qixiao—Jie Hai has a vendetta against the Crown Prince.”
“Starting from there, I think that seeking protection from Uncle Fei Qixiao while secretly acc.u.mulating power and leveraging my relationship with the Crown Prince would enable us to exact revenge on Jie Hai when our power is sufficient!”
Recalling his experience in the dream examination hall, Lin Feng sighed leisurely, filled with vicissitudes.
“It took hundreds of years, but I have finally seen the possibility of revenge! It’s a shame that if my teacher had given me three to five more years, 1 could have easily handled Jie Hai.”
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Jiu Han smiled gently and said, “You’ve indeed done well. You can even be said to be perfect…”
Lin Feng displayed his tenacity and scheming in the dream examination hall!
Though he had done some unsavory things, it was only out of necessity to achieve his goal of revenge.
Generally speaking, not only did Lin Feng have great luck, but he also had great courage and ability!
Jiuhan’s praise made Lin Feng smile brightly. He bent down, lowered his head, and said respectfully, “Teacher, you flatter me.”
Humility!
On this occasion, Lin Feng had to be humble!
Then, Jiu Han turned his gaze toward Lu Ming.
Jiu Han said in a complicated tone, “What about you, Lu Ming? What exactly are you thinking?”
After Jiu Han finished speaking, Lin Feng still lowered his head, but he subconsciously p.r.i.c.ked up his ears and focused his attention on Lu Ming.
He was indeed very curious about Lu Ming’s performance.
Although he would definitely not perform better than him…
However, Lu Ming’s words stunned Lin Feng on the spot.
“I don’t really have any thoughts.”
“Cultivating and then killing the enemy with your own hands is nothing more than such a simple process…”
With that said, Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said in realization, “Senior Brother Lin has said so much, and he’s thinking about it in such detail. It’s only now that I realize there are so many aspects to this a.s.sessment.”
“But 1 don’t think any of this matters…”
Lin Feng was left momentarily stunned, and he reacted as if someone had stepped on his tail. “It doesn’t matter? How can you say that all of this doesn’t matter!?”
His family had fallen, and he had a quasi-divine-level enemy!
To complete revenge as a profligate son was almost an unachievable goal!
How much effort have I, Lin Feng, put into all of this? How did it become meaningless in Lu Ming’s perspective?
Perhaps sensing that he was a little agitated, Lin Feng hurriedly took a deep breath and said to Lu Ming in an experienced tone, “Junior brother, our views are completely opposite… I believe this a.s.sessment is very meaningful!”
“The examination hall that Teacher prepared for us not only tested our temperament, but also our abilities and methods.”
“Junior Brother, consider this. What’s our starting point in the examination hall? We’re profligate sons! We don’t have any cultivation to begin with.”
“To exact revenge against a quasi-divine expert, given our family’s decline, we need so much…,”
With that said, Lin Feng still felt depressed and subconsciously said with an indignant tone, “Why? Could it be that you think this matter is really very simple, Junior Brother?”
Lu Ming scratched his head and looked at Lin Feng, “Yes, it’s very simple…”
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, “What did you say?”
“I said, isn’t it just revenge? It’s very simple…”
“When I came out, 1 had already killed Jie Hai. What? Senior Brother, you haven’t killed Jie Hai yet?”
“Ah… Huh?”
Lin Feng’s mouth dropped open involuntarily….
Lu Ming frowned and said, “Then Senior Brother, you didn’t pa.s.s this a.s.sessment… You didn’t even fight the boss at the bottom. How can you be considered to have pa.s.sed?”
Lin Feng looked at Lu Ming in a daze and saw that Lu Ming ignored him and turned to look at Jiu Han.
“My train of thought is actually very simple.”
“Master, the starting point you gave us was too high. This time’s a.s.sessment was not difficult at all…”
“First of all, the innate talents of our bodies in the dream examination hall were quite exaggerated. Although they may be slightly inferior to my actual self, they can still be considered rare geniuses…”
“Then, you even arranged a segment for us to choose cultivation techniques. In that segment, I selected the Foundation-Building Technique, which has greater future potential.”
“This cultivation technique is also very interesting. It cultivates both source power and physique. Moreover, if one cultivates it to the highest level, one can reach the quasi-divine level… It should be my Old Dad’s primary cultivation technique.”
“Lastly, there’s the problem of cultivation resources.”
“Although our family was wiped out by Jie Hai, the resources and wealth left behind by my Old Dad are a considerable amount… There are several secret treasure vaults, and the resources within are enough to help me advance to the quasi-divine level.”
At this point, Lu Ming glanced at Lin Feng and then at Jiuhan.
“Good apt.i.tude, sufficient resources, and cultivation techniques. All that’s left is a matter of time.”
“Cultivate and enter seclusion. After I become a quasi-divine level expert, I’ll come out of seclusion to kill and seek revenge. That’s the end of it…”
Having said that, Lu Ming looked at Lin Feng, who was dumbfounded.
“Why do you make this a.s.sessment sound so difficult? I actually find it quite simple. It’s just a matter of secluding yourself for 386 years…”
“It’s just a pity…” Lu Ming sighed. “The physical fitness in the dream was slightly inferior to my actual self.. Otherwise, I would not have needed a hundred years to turn Jie Hai into ashes…”
