Chapter 301: Entrance Examination (4)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bai Yao stood to the side while Jiu Han looked at the remaining two candidates.

Both of them were candidates he had been keeping an eye on.

The two young individuals remained calm and composed. After observing them, Jiu Han smiled and said, “Who's next?”

Lu Ming wanted to step forward, but he suddenly heard an arrogant voice coming from beside him.

'Til go…”

Beside him, a tall and young-looking individual stepped forward and stood in front of Jiu Han.

He spoke directly, “I'm also in the Ancient Realm… but I'm a bit different from the Ancient Realm expert before.”

“I'm not here for an errand. I'm genuinely here to study.”

As he spoke, this person opened his clothes

to reveal three faintly glowing golden patterns on his chest!

This elicited continuous exclamations from the onlookers, even Jiu Han squinted his eyes..

For ordinary Transcendents, golden patterns were rarer than silver ones.

This was because silver patterns could be gradually cultivated over time, but the golden patterns seemed to involve an element of luck.

Jiu Han extended his hand and touched the man's wrist. As he pinched his bones, Jiu Han asked, “What's your name?”

“Lin Feng, as in the 'forest' in Lin and the 'peak' in Feng,” the man replied.

Lin Feng replied, with a hint of pride in his tone.

A moment later, Jiu Han retracted his hand and looked at Lin Feng much more solemnly.

“Lin Feng.”

“First level of the Ancient Realm, three golden patterns.”

Age: 38 years old

“Average aptitude…”

Lin Feng was not an Aeonian. According to his bone age, his bone age was around 1.3.

However, when Transcendents reached the Ancient Realm, their bone age did not matter anymore.

For someone in the Ancient Realm, 38 years old was exceptionally young!

Lin Feng's aptitude was considered average.

This meant that his innate talent in Source Power Skills was not particularly good…

“Fortune…” Jiu Han muttered this word. He had some speculation about this freak in front of him named Lin Feng.

Fortune, or could also be called luck.

He had to admit that there were a few lucky people in this world.

It was as if they had been blessed by the supreme god, making their lives significantly smoother than others.

Hearing Jiu Han's muttering, Lin Feng nodded slightly. “Yes, it's luck.”

“I've had people tell me my fortune. I'm a person with great luck. They all call me the Lucky Child… I don't really understand what it means, but I know I've always had good luck.”

As he spoke, Lin Feng pointed at the three golden patterns on his chest.

“I have three golden patterns. I obtained one when I was seven, after I accidentally entered the deep mountains and swallowed a precious pill.” “Another one 1 gained at the age of 18 when I fell off a cliff and found a precious jade.”

“The last one was obtained when I awakened at the age of 31 after being struck by divine lightning.”

After saying this, Lin Feng paused and continued.

“And I've come to the Three Elements Academy this time to genuinely study.” “I've heard that Lord Jiu Han likes to nurture newcomers with potential. With my abilities and luck, I believe 1 should be able to catch Lord Jiu Han's attention. I wonder if this old man can help recommend me?”

When Jiu Han heard this, he raised an eyebrow and asked strangely, “Do you want to become a disciple of Lord Jiu Han?”

Lin Feng immediately nodded and said, “Yes.”

“Are you aware that Lord Jiu Han hasn't taken on any disciples in a long time?” Jiu Han inquired.”

Lin Feng nodded again, saying, “I'm well aware, but 1 believe that if I'm outstanding enough, maybe, just maybe, I can pique Lord Jiu Han's interest…” Jiu Han chuckled and shook his head.

Lin Feng did not know that the old man in front of him was Jiu Han, but Jiu Han knew very well why he was reluctant to take in another disciple.

Of course, this reason did not need to be told to others. Although luck seedlings were rare, with Jiu Han's age and experience, he had indeed seen lucky seedlings before.

It had to be admitted that at this moment, Jiu Han was slightly tempted…

Lucky Child, he was definitely one of the few good talents in the world.

However, out of concern, Jiu Han did not have such a strong desire to take in a disciple.

After thinking for a moment, Jiu Han sighed and made a decision.

“I'll discuss this with Lord Jiu Han. However, since you're here to seek knowledge, you still have to pass the test of temperament.”

“Please wait at the side for a while.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he watched Lin Feng walk down the examination area. However, Jiu Han already had a plan in his heart.

“Let's forget it…”

He had no intention of taking Lin Feng as his disciple.

He then turned his gaze to the last person, who was none other than Lu Ming.

Jiu Han beckoned to Lu Ming with a cheerful smile.

“Come over here.”

After seeing the lucky seedling, Jiu Han was already very satisfied with this round of examination.

However, everything must have a beginning and an end. This last examinee did not look ordinary either. Jiu Han might as well finish everything together.

Lu Ming obediently walked into the examination area and stood in front of Jiu Han before looking at the crystal pillar.

He spoke directly.

“I'm also in the Ancient Realm.”

With that said, he pulled open his clothes, revealing the three silver patterns on his chest.

This was not beyond everyone's expectations.

Bai Yao and Lin Feng sensed the aura on Lu Ming's body and could confirm that Lu Ming was at the Ancient Realm.

The Ancient Realm examiner could also determine Lu Ming's approximate strength level in this way.

The other weaklings could also roughly deduce Lu Ming's strength from the attitude of the Ancient Realm experts.

There was no need to mention Jiu Han.

Even without using the methods of the Divine Spirit Realm, Jiu Han could roughly determine with the naked eye, who was strong and who was weak.

“First level of the Ancient Realm, three silver patterns.”

“What's your name?”

“My name is Lu Ming.”

“So you've come to the Three Elements Academy for what purpose?”

“To study, and preferably to become a disciple of Lord Jiu Han,” Lu Ming replied candidly, choosing to tell the truth.

This made Jiu Han speechless once again.

Studying was fake, but becoming a disciple was the real motive.

But then again, who among these young geniuses did not want to obtain guidance from the Divine Spirit Realm?

He asked, “Did you hear my conversation with Lin Feng just now?”

Lu Ming nodded honestly and said, “I heard it.”

“Then you should also know that Lord Jiu Han no longer takes on disciples.”

As soon as Jiu Han said this, Lu Ming continued, “I believe my talent is more than deserving of Lord Jiu Han's personal guidance.”

Lu Ming's words were quite arrogant, but Jiu Han did not mind.

He had always advocated that people had to have personalities. Strong individuals needed to stand out, and people who followed the rules couldn't make a significant impact.

Instead, Lu Ming's words made Jiu Han want to continue the conversation.

He smiled and asked, “You're very confident… So, I assume you're quite young?”

“I'm fairly young,” Lu Ming said. After a brief pause, he added, “I'm 27 years old this year.”

Jiu Han was immediately stunned.

If one did not pinch their bones or use special techniques, it was very difficult to tell the age of a Transcendent from their size and appearance.

Not to mention that many people had techniques of altering their appearance.

Looking at Lu Ming's appearance and figure, it was obvious that Lu Ming was probably not old. However, Jiu Han did not expect Lu Ming to blurt out the number 27!

The old man frowned, finding it hard to believe, and said, “Quit kidding!”

The people around them began to gossip and chuckle.

It was really because the number Lu Ming dropped was just too unbelievable!

As mentioned earlier by He Qing, the Eternal Clan had its share of super-genius individuals who could advance to the Source Realm within a few years.

However, entering the Ancient Realm in just 27 years through the silver patterns was almost unheard of in the Black Mist Zone.

Unlike Lin Feng's golden patterns, the formation of silver patterns required a great deal of time and effort.

Moreover, Lu Ming had three silver patterns.

Looking at Lu Ming's surging blood qi, it was evident that the progress of his body forging technique was not bad, placing him among the top tier in the Ancient Realm first level..

Twenty-seven years old.

Three silver patterns + physical strength which was considered formidable even among the first level of the Ancient Realm…

“Even if you started cultivating in your mother's womb, it's impossible for you to make such progress.”

As soon as Old Jiu Han finished speaking, Lu Ming had already extended his hand toward Jiu Han.

“Don't you know how to pinch bones?”

“Pinch it.. Wouldn't you know if you pinch it?”
