"Such a short time!"
"Such speed!"
Ignoring Ning Feng's increasingly radiant smile, Number 86 was completely unaware that he was already sentenced to death in someone's heart.
"Truly admirable! Such unwavering will!"
Completely oblivious to Ning Feng's gaze searching for a place to strike him, Number 86 continued to exclaim in surprise:
"To think they could pass the test in such a short time, and be able to distinguish between dreams and reality the moment they came out!"
Finally, the applause stopped. Number 86, through his mask, gazed intently at Ning Feng, his admiration lingering.
"I admire you very much!"
I admire you very much!
With a bright smile, but a dangerous glint in his narrowed eyes, Ning Feng lowered the dagger he had been holding behind his back.
It's hard to believe you didn't do it on purpose to praise someone like that.
Are you doing this on purpose? Or are you just naturally naive?
Ning Feng remained skeptical.
Because anime fans say that only women are naturally naive, while men are all pretending.
Ning Feng became more wary of No. 86 and did not intend to completely trust that he was unaware of anything.
After all, anime fans don't lie, right?
"Cough cough."
Ning Feng interrupted the other person's reverie with a light cough and gestured for them to explain the current situation.
"Mr. 86, before you continue to exclaim, could you please explain to me what's going on?"
About the dream I just had.
It also relates to where we are now.
Ning Feng and the others have now emerged from that space and arrived in a desolate woodland.
It was just past noon, and the sunlight shone directly on the earth, sweeping away all the gloom.
It doesn't feel cold or gloomy here; instead, it's warm and cozy under the sun.
"Oh, my apologies."
Realizing his lapse in composure, Number 86 adjusted his hat, revealing a head of medium-length, dark blue curly hair.
"I'm so excited. You may not know what you've accomplished right now, but I think you'll understand how I feel after hearing my explanation."
"Simply put, the dream you just had was a test."
It was indeed a test.
Ning Feng nodded knowingly, maintaining his smiling expression so that No. 86 wouldn't notice anything amiss.
"So, this is a test to prove whether I lied before?"
So meticulous, and then they still have to pull a surprise attack?
No, that's not the case.
Shaking his head, Number 86 patiently explained:
“Your suspicion in that matter was cleared when you took the oath; this test is for something else.”
"Shortly after I reported all your information, I received a new assignment notification."
Looking intently at Ning Feng, he slowly spoke:
"Invite Ning Feng, an operator from the Watchers' City, to become a member of the [Trial Chamber]."
Ning Feng made no comment on this, his face showing neither surprise nor fear, but rather a slight frown.
He wanted to know, what was the reason?
Why was I chosen?
Seeing Ning Feng's confusion, Number 86 couldn't explain either, but simply said sincerely:
"I'm sorry, I don't know the specific reason either. I was only responsible for sending you the invitation, and I don't know anything else."
"But based on my personal speculation, they probably value your talent and personality."
"Your strength has reached the second tier upon your first awakening. The purity of your bloodline is very high, and it may come from a high-ranking demon."
The source of bloodline is the nobility of one's ancestral bloodline, which comes either from status or from power.
The offspring of legendary powerhouses naturally have an advantage over others in terms of improving their strength.
Bloodlines with special significance are even rarer.
Few people have actually witnessed Ning Feng's awakening. After discussing it with Xilin, he considered his previous display of first-tier strength as the behavior of a low-key, unassuming person.
"Furthermore, you have received high praise for your handling of previous incidents."
Personality is easier to understand.
By combining Ning Feng's recent actions with past records, we can develop a highly credible profile of his character.
Loyalty, rationality, fairness, strictness...
It is a personality perfectly suited for the courtroom.
But these alone are not enough.
Finally, it must be ensured that Ning Feng has no problems in other aspects.
And what could be more thought-provoking than a test that leaves one unconscious and allows one's behavioral choices to be entirely determined by one's true self?
Every member of the court, in their first trial after joining the court, is themselves the one being interrogated.
This is a tradition.
However, please note that this painful tradition will not end easily.
Most people face various situations after waking up from a dream: nausea, pain, disbelief, and most importantly, being unable to break free from the dream.
There are even quite a few cases of people falling into comas, and everyone needs time to accept all of this.
Generally speaking, it can take anywhere from half an hour to half a day, and these are all considered normal situations.
At this point, the differences in willpower training among the various lineages become even more apparent.
The spiritual lineage is the strongest, followed by the knowledge lineage, and the bloodline lineage is simply the younger brother.
Among all the bloodline awakeners who underwent the test before Ning Feng, the shortest time was five minutes.
Ning Feng, however, only lasted a moment!
