Chapter 310: This Disciple Is Too Simple (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Feng’s face had turned deathly pale.
Looking at Lu Ming’s calm and composed expression, Lin Feng’s lips trembled, and he was speechless for a long time.
He looked at Jiu Han again and saw that the way Jiu Han looked at Lu Ming was filled with complexity… admiration!
Lin Feng’s heart sank immediately.
He probed, “Teacher, is what Junior Brother said true?”
Jiu Han nodded gently, “It’s true…”
“He killed Jie Hai?”
“With his own hands…”
“386 years?”
“No, it’s 385 years and 3 months… The time you both experienced in the dream realm is the same.”
Lin Feng felt his head buzz, as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer.
“This is impossible!”
How could someone reach quasi-divine level in just 386 years of cultivation?!”
“This doesn’t make sense!!”
Lu Ming asked, “Don’t you think that the body in the dream realm has exceptional talent?”
Lin Feng’s face turned red.
Yes, the body in the dream realm had exceptional talent… but Lin Feng felt that reaching quasi-divine level was still a distant goal…
He had not been lazy in cultivation every day. However, at the end of the assessment, his strength had only reached the fourth level of the Ancient Realm.
He continued, “Even so, it’s impossible for him to cultivate to the quasi-divine level in just a few hundred years!”
This time, Lu Ming did not respond. Instead, Jiu Han spoke, “It’s possible.”
“If it were an ordinary person, then, it definitely wouldn’t be possible… but my disciple, Lu Ming, can do it…”
At this point, Jiu Han had a look on his face that seemed to say, “I can’t believe it either.”
He finally could not hold back and asked, “You cultivated for 16 hours a day, aren’t you tired? Aren’t you fatigued?”
Lu Ming thought for a moment and replied, “I do get a bit tired and fatigued, but I can’t slack off when I haven’t taken revenge yet.”
Jiu Han asked again, “You didn’t rest a day in 386 years and didn’t leave the house for a day, to enjoy the scenery, or experienced love and affection. Don’t you find it boring?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingyun became enthusiastic.
His expression brightened, “Not at all boring.”
“My Father left behind many cultivation techniques and secret skills, as well as many resources for cultivation.”
“In the dream realm, there are no bottlenecks for candidates from the mortal realm to the quasi-divine level.”
“Since I know that I can reach the quasi-divine level, it’s like having a goal. With abundant resources, I can also feel my own growth every day. I can’t think of anything more joyful.”
Jiu Han opened his mouth, not knowing how to describe Lu Ming.
After a long time, Jiu Han did not know how to react but just asked, “Aren’t you just a cultivation machine?”
Lu Ming countered, “What’s wrong with being a cultivation machine?”
“Being a cultivation machine means no troubles or trivial matters to worry about. It means abundant resources without the need to go on risky adventures, and It means having sufficient security.”
“I won’t go looking for trouble for no reason.”
“With my personality and temper, I don’t care much about the outside world.”
“What else can I do if 1 don’t cultivate?”
“Go on adventures? That’s too risky.”
“Stir up trouble for no reason? Isn’t that being foolish?”
This conversation left Jiu Han and Lin Feng speechless…
A moment later, Jiu Han smiled and said, “You’re right. The path of cultivation is endless. When will you ever reach a limit with your cultivation?”
Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, “Being invincible is the end… First, one has to cultivate to be invincible before thinking about the next plan. If one is not invincible, why bother thinking about anything else? Isn’t this getting upset over nothing?”
Jiu Han,”…”
At this point, Lin Feng finally came back to his senses. He said in a sarcastic tone, “Can you be even stronger than a god? As the saying goes, there is always someone who is stronger than another, being invincible in the world is too far-fetched…”
The sarcasm in these words showed that Lin Feng was eaten up with jealousy…
Lu Ming directly retorted, “Even gods had to start from scratch in their cultivation. Besides, if being invincible in the world is too distant, then there’s no need to consider anything else. Just focus on cultivation and that’s it.”
Lin Feng opened his mouth.
He had so many rebuttals to state…
Facing ordinary people, he could still refute. However, facing someone strange like Lu Ming, who practiced tirelessly for 386 years, training eight hours a day without rest, his counterarguments had become a joke.
Jiu Han then looked at Lu Ming solemnly.
After a long pause, he said, “Your talent is truly rare in the world.”
“Your hard work is enough to make anyone admit defeat.”
Although Jiu Han felt that Lu Ming was a little too much.
He was too simple…
But the combination of a talent freak and a hard worker monster…
He had never seen such perfect material for a transcendent being!
He hadn’t even thought that he could have such a disciple!
So perfect that Jiu Han could not find words or expressions to describe the joy in his heart right now!
He could only let out a long sigh involuntarily, “Your future is limitless.”
“Come to the Boshi Tower tomorrow morning to see me. 1 will take a day to consider how to nurture you…”
With that said, Jiu Han turned around and left.
It was not until he had walked far away that Jiu Han thought of something.
Turning around to look at the stunned Lin Feng, Jiu Flan said gently, “You should come tomorrow morning as well.”
Jiu Han left.
Only Lu Ming, Lin Feng, and the others remained.
Watching Jiu Han walk away, Lu Ming scratched his head.
Then, he turned to Jiang Weiquan, saying, “Senior Brother…”
Jiang Weiquan smiled warmly, “Don’t call me senior brother. I’m not qualified to be the Palace Master’s disciple… Just call me Teacher Jiang.”
“Alright, Teacher Jiang.” After changing the way he addressed him, Lu Ming said, “I wonder if there’s accommodation on our campus.”
Jiang Weiquan was stunned, “Didn’t you book a room in the hotel outside?”
Lu Ming replied sincerely, “I just offended a Divine Spirit Realm expert. I’m a little flustered not being by Teacher’s side… Being closer to Teacher would be good…”
Jiang Weiquan wanted to say that there was no danger for him to stay outside and that his teacher could watch over him… However, when he saw Lu Ming’s sincere and earnest gaze, Jiang Weiquan nodded and said, “We should have waited a few more days to handle the enrollment procedures collectively, but since Student Lu Ming wants it, our academy will definitely help you solve the problem.”
“How about 1 arrange a room for Student Lu right at the foot of Boshi Tower?”
Lu Ming immediately smiled, “Thank you, Teacher Jiang.”
Just as he was about to leave with Quan Chao and Jiang Weiquan, Lin Feng’s voice sounded from behind.
“Junior Brother, wait a moment.”
Lu Ming turned to see Lin Feng approaching with a smiling face.
“Junior Brother.”
“Senior Brother.”
“The words and actions of Junior brother just now greatly impressed me. Do you have some free time tonight? How about we have a drink together?”
Lin Feng’s expression was friendly and cordial…
But Lu Ming shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t have time. 1 need to focus on my cultivation tonight.”
“How about next time?”
Lin Feng’s smile froze for a moment. Then, he quickly nodded, “Sure, another time then. Definitely!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming had already turned around and left.
Looking at Lu Ming’s back, Lin Feng’s eyes twitched, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
And as Lu Ming had turned away, he changed his previous naive appearance and a shrewd gleam flashed in his eyes.
“This Lin Feng, something’s not right..”
