Chapter 302: Entrance Examination (5)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Ming’s words left Old Man Jiu Han momentarily stunned.

The surrounding discussions also quieted down considerably.

It was really… Lu Ming’s expression and tone were just too genuine.

It was as if he really was 27 years old…

Seeing this scene, Jiu Han narrowed his eyes, but in his heart, he made a decision.

You young lad think I’m ignorant, huh?

Or did you use a secret technique to change your bone age?

Fine, I’ll pinch you, but if 1 find anything fishy, 1’11 definitely teach you a lesson, young man.

Jiu Han did not believe that he was a 27-year-old Silver-Patterned Ancient Realm expert.

However, since the other party had already stretched out his hand, he still had to pinch it.

Not only did he have to pinch it, but he had to pinch it carefully and seriously!

“I don’t believe it…”

Without another ado, he grabbed Lu Ming’s arm.

Then, Jiu Han fell into deep contemplation…

Just as Jiu Han was pinching Lu Ming’s bones, the people below were whispering among themselves.

Those who knew Jiu Han’s identity were all waiting to see Lu Ming make a fool of himself. Those who did not know Jiu Han’s identity directly considered Lu Ming a fraud.

“The kid might be young, but he’s a compulsive liar. It’s obvious he has a bad character,” Bai Yao shook his head and said.

As a fellow Silver-Patterned Ancient Realm expert, Bai Yao knew the difficulty of cultivating silver patterns too well.

Even with high talent, it would take a hundred or more years, let alone those with lower talent who might never achieve Silver Patterns in their lifetime. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝓌𝑒𝒷𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝑜𝓂

Even Bai Yao, with mediocre talent took over 4,000 years to cultivate two Silver Patterns. In other words, it took 2,000 years for one silver pattern to be cultivated…

On the side, Lin Feng, with a cold and arrogant expression, heard what Bai Yao said and immediately snorted.

“He probably has some secret technique that can change his bone age, so he wants to take a shortcut.”

He sneered and said, “The key is that if he can think of this method, don’t others think of it too? He didn’t even ask around to find out how many fakes have been kicked out of the Three Elements Academy over the years!”

He could fool the crystal pillar, the Ancient Realm examiner, but could he fool the gods? Could he fool Jiu Han?

A 27-year-old Silver-Patterned Ancient Realm….that kind of talent would definitely attract Jiu Han’s attention.

When the time comes, the gods will witness it themselves, and it will be clear whether it’s real or fake. At that time, wouldn’t it be obvious if the god was telling the truth?

Thinking of this, Lin Feng shook his head and said, “In my opinion, this person shouldn’t resort to these tricks. He’s probably guaranteed admission to the academy, but if he pulls off these tricks, he’s going to have a hard time.”

As for whether what Lu Ming said was true… Sorry, no normal person would consider that possibility.

“Mm—”

“Mm—”

At this moment, Jiu Han, who was pinching Lu Ming’s wrist, kept making muffled sounds. As he contemplated and distinguished, the time passed incredibly slowly.

His face turned into various colors as if he had visited a dye factory.

After a long time, Jiu Han suddenly spoke.

“This isn’t right…”

Lu Ming was stunned, “What’s wrong?”

“There are imprints of other Divine Spirit Realm experts in your body.”

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment and then cautiously asked, “Can you even tell that?”

“And there are imprints from… someone 1 have a deep and deadly feud with,” he immediately whispered. Halfway through his sentence, Lu Ming had already understood the meaning of the old man’s words.

This was the truth, though he did not go into detail, and there was no need to.

Jiu Han did not care about this. He frowned again.

“It’s still not right…”

Lu Ming asked carefully, “What’s wrong now?”

“Your cultivation time is so short?”

Lu Ming said, “Indeed, to be honest, I’m a contemporary tribulation transcender. I’ve only been on the path to transcendence for two and a half years…”

After Lu Ming finished speaking, he clearly felt the hand of the old man in front of him tremble as he tightened his grip.

After a long time, Jiu Han said, “It’s still not right.”

Lu Ming was perplexed…

“What’s wrong now?”

The old man thought for a moment and said, “You’re not right at your age either.”

“You’re not 27.”

Lu Ming said firmly, “I really am 27.”

Jiu Han shook his head and said, “No, according to your bone age, you’ll only reach 27 in three months. You’re 26 years and 9 months old this year, at most add another five or six days.”

Lu Ming was surprised, “Can you tell with such precision?”

Jiu Han smiled, “You’re too young and easy to pinch. Moreover, I’m no ordinary person; can’t 1 figure this out?”

“Your talent is indeed extraordinary… but even though it’s extraordinary, it’s not unique.”

As he spoke, Jiu Han continued calmly, “Thinking about it, that Zero was extremely talented. He achieved the Ancient Realmin in just a few years from the Mortal Realm.”

“Moreover, that Eternity is even more ridiculous. He only took less than five years to go from the Mortal Realm to the Ancient Realm.”

“In the entire Black Mist Zone, there are many people who can break through from the Mortal Realm to the Ancient Realm in a hundred years with the power of silver patterns. Your talent is not unique.”

“In any case, don’t be arrogant and complacent!”

Although Lu Ming did not know who Zero and Eternity were, he had no reason to be arrogant or complacent about his talent…

If he wanted to be proud, Lu Ming would only be proud of his current strength, not his talent. Talent meant nothing and would be useless if it could not be translated into strength.

Lu Ming immediately nodded, “I understand.”

Jiu Han could not help but stroke his beard and smile.

This was because he could tell from Lu Ming’s eyes that Lu Ming had no trace of arrogance or complacency.

In this aspect, Lu Ming and Lin Feng were worlds apart.

With this in mind, Jiu Han finally released his grip on Lu Ming’s wrist. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, “Good, 1, Jiu Han, have nothing to do lately. As the saying goes, after a prolonged rest, one thinks of a move. Moreover, your talent is indeed outstanding.”

“I might as well take you under my wing, and become my direct disciple. What do you think?”

Lu Ming had already figured out the old man’s identity from his earlier words.

At this moment, Lu Ming was not shocked when Jiu Han introduced himself. He simply knelt down in front of the old man and said loudly, “Greetings, Master!”

Jiu Han stroked his beard again, nodded slightly and said, “However, you still have to pass the temperament test. Although your talent is outstanding, if your temperament is not good, you can’t be my direct disciple…”

With that said, Jiu Han thought for a moment and added, “You can only become a named disciple.”

Being a direct disciple and a named disciple were clearly not the same.

Lu Ming immediately nodded, “1 understand, Master.”

“Well, in that case, continue with the assessment for now. I suddenly remembered that there’s something else 1 need to attend to, so I won’t stay with you any longer.”

With that said, Jiu Han turned around and hurriedly left.

Everyone present was also shocked speechless by the recent turn of events.

In the silence, the only sound in the entire venue was the hurried footsteps of Jiu Han.

When Jiu Han passed by Lin Feng, he suddenly turned to look at Lin Feng.

“You’re… Oh, that lucky seedling, right?”

After Jiu Han finished speaking somewhat absentmindedly, he saw Lin Feng looking at him blankly. He thought for a moment before asking, “I still have a spot available for an in-name disciple? Do you want it?”

As the saying went, whether you herd a sheep alone or you herd a flock of sheep, you were using the same effort.

Since Lu Ming had already ignited Jiu Han’s desire to take on a disciple, he might as well accept this lucky seedling along as well. It wouldn’t be a waste of such a promising talent.

Of course, being a direct disciple was out of the question.

This Lin Feng was not qualified…

At most, he would be a named disciple.

Lin Feng just felt a surge of warm current rushing to his head, and his face instantly turned bright red.

It was unknown if he was embarrassed or excited, but Lin Feng was stunned for a long time before kneeling on the ground and bowing.

“Greetings, Master!”

“However, you also have to pass the temperament test.”

After saying this, Jiu Han shrank into nothingness and instantly disappeared..
