I Stack Attributes in the Apocalypse

Chapter 308: Temperament (5)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Four of the ten candidates passed.

In the second wave of attacks by Jie Hai, the reactions of Quan Chao and another candidate were too slow and they failed to escape in time, resulting in them being directly eliminated by Jie Hai.

At that moment, only Lu Ming and Lin Feng were left in the dream examination hall.

These two individuals were the ones that Jiu Han paid the most attention to.

As he peered into their dreams, Jiu Han stroked his beard and smiled, “The hatred of killing your father is irreconcilable… What methods will the two of you choose to confront your sworn enemy who is a quasi-divine-level expert?”

Although Jiu Han was reasonably satisfied with the temperament of the two of them—in fact, as long as they were not treacherous and evil people, he was fine with accepting them as disciples.

The two of them had already passed the test on Jiu Han’s side, but the old man still wanted to see more…

It was mainly Lu Ming.

Jiu Han had never seen someone so dedicated in his life…

On their way to escape, Lin Feng’s thoughts raced.

“Uncle Qing.”

He turned to the equally panicked butler and quickly asked, “Did Father leave any instructions?”

Uncle Qing thought for a moment and shook his head, “None, this incident happened too suddenly.”

Lin Feng asked again, “Then, did my father have any close friends who were at the quasi-divine level?”

Uncle Qing thought for a moment and said, “He did have a good friend, the City Lord of Pingye City in Wudong Province, Lord Feng Qixiao.”

Lin Feng hastily asked, “Can Uncle Feng help us to kill that villain, Jie Hai?”

Uncle Qing showed a hint of difficulty on his face.

A person’s death was like the extinguishing of a lamp.

Even though his Old Dad had a good relationship with Feng Qixiao when he was alive, at this moment, his Old Dad was already dead. Would Feng Qixiao really go against another expert of the same level for the sake of friendship?

That might not be the case…

Lin Feng was no fool. From Uncle Qing’s expression, Lin Feng could tell that Feng Qixiao might not be reliable. Nevertheless, after some thought, Lin Feng had made up his mind.

“Let’s go to Pingye City first.”

On the escape route, Lu Ming’s thoughts were also racing as he turned to Uncle Qing and asked,

“Is there a safe hiding place in the outside world?”

Uncle Qing thought for a moment and said, “Yes, Old Master had a secret residence in Tiandu when he was alive.”

Tiandu, the capital of the Eternal Clan.

As the city lord, his Old Dad had amassed an unimaginable amount of wealth, and even in the capital, he owned a large mansion.

Lu Ming asked further, “In Tiandu, did my father have any good friends or enemies?”

Uncle Qing shook his head, “None.”

“Alright, let’s go to Tiandu!”

Uncle Qing immediately nodded.

With his father’s death, Lu Ming had become the new lord.

However, he still could not help but ask, “About Old Master’s revenge…”

Lu Ming said righteously, “A gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years. I will handle the blood feud of my father personally!”

Uncle Qing did not say anything more.

The same situation led to completely different consequences and developments depending on their personalities.

Lin Feng brought his servants to Pingye City and sought refuge with Feng Qixiao. His intention was to use external forces to exact revenge.

On the other hand, Lu Ming brought his servants to Tiandu, choosing to bury his hatred deep in his heart.

It was hard to say which choice pleased Jiu Han more.

Jiu Han just looked at the two of them who had entered their dreams. He saw Lin Feng arrive at Pingye City, trying to persuade Lord Fei Qixiao with little success.

On the other hand, he saw Lu Ming arrive at Tiandu and immediately entered the cultivation room, dedicating himself to even more intense and profound cultivation.

“Mm—”

Jiu Han surrendered.

This time, Jiu Han truly lost his patience.

He could finally tell that Lu Ming’s train of thought was completely one-track…

Cultivate, then cultivate some more, and then cultivate again…. again…

He was really a cultivation machine…

Time in the dream world passed rapidly.

Compared to Lu Ming’s “cultivation, cultivation, and cultivation”, Lin Feng’s dream experience was undoubtedly more eventful.

He suffered setbacks with Feng Qixiao but refused to give up. On the one hand, he rooted himself at Pingye City, expanded his network, and strengthened his power while gathering information on Jie Hai, seeking out Jie Hai’s enemies, and exploring Jie Hai’s weaknesses.

The various hardships he endured during this period were beyond words.

However, Lin Feng only stuck to his heart and displayed the strong and intelligent side of his personality. He benefited from many factions, and the strength of the factions steadily advanced.

Jiu Han accelerated the passage of time in the dream world.

At the same time, Jiu Han released the Divine Source to nourish the souls of the two of them, who had fallen into exhaustion from dreaming for a long time, to ensure that the long dream experience would not harm them.

And so, in the external world, only about ten minutes had passed, but in the dream world, hundreds of years had flown by.

Watching the vastly different outcomes of the two individuals, Jiu Han sighed softly.

“I’m really convinced…”

In Lin Feng’s dream examination hall world.

Today, the City Lord of Pingye City: Lin Feng officially declared war on the City Lord of Xuanshui City: Jie Hai!

The purpose of the war was to seek revenge!

The outside world generally thought highly of Jie Hai.

This was because Jie Hai was a quasi-divine level expert, while Lin Feng was only at the middle stage of the Ancient Realm. He even had many tricks up his sleeve to become the City Lord of Pingye City.

The outside world even had such speculations.

The death of Feng Qixiao several decades ago might have been caused by Lin Feng.

Standing at the highest point of the Lord’s Mansion in Pingye City, Lin Feng was filled with determination.

Endless thoughts swirled in his mind.

“The four city lords around Xuanshui City have long been dissatisfied with the domineering and tyrannical nature of Jie Hai. Taking action this time, they will be a great help to me.”

“However, 1 can’t place all my hopes on the four City Lords. I’ve already established a connection with the Crown Prince, and if necessary, I can request the assistance of two quasi-divine members of the royal family.”.

“And with the quasi-divine brother I’ve befriended…”

Muttering to himself, Lin Feng subconsciously clenched his fists.

“This time, it’s settled!!”

However, in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng felt the surrounding scene suddenly blur.

As his thoughts drifted, real and not illusory memories began to surface continuously in his mind.

This left Lin Feng in a state of confusion.

However, under the protection of the Divine Source, his thoughts did not become chaotic, leading to mental issues.

Very soon, the surrounding scene was completely overturned.

Lin Feng actually returned to reality from the dream examination hall.

The memories from the dream remained vivid and clear, thanks to Jiu Han’s methods.

This made Lin Feng involuntarily blush.

After some thought, he sighed, saying, “It’s a pity that if I could have stayed for a few more decades, I would have ensured that Jie Hai met a gruesome end!”

Lin Feng’s experience in the dream was indeed quite legendary.

His family was in decline, and he had a formidable quasi-divine enemy.

However, he had nearly achieved his revenge through his own means!

If he could give himself a score, Lin Feng would give himself a perfect score!

He then looked at Lu Ming beside him and saw Lu Ming remained calm, with no discernible expression.

Lin Feng could not help but smile and say, “Junior Brother… well, you’re younger than me, so I’ll take advantage of that and call you junior brother.”

After Lu Ming nodded, he heard Lin Feng continued, “The difficulty of this dream realm assessment is indeed not small. Junior brother, how far have you progressed?”

Lin Feng did not believe that Lu Ming could do better than him.

Before Lu Ming could respond, a figure flashed from not far away and Jiu Han’s figure appeared in front of the two of them.

After the two of them greeted Jiu Han in unison, they noticed that Jiu Han was staring at Lu Ming intently.

After a long while, Jiu Han heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Tell me about your thought process for the examination..”
