"Oh my God! How did this fool provoke Master Kong to such an extent?"

Outside the door, He Fang, Duanmu Kui, and others were secretly alarmed.

Master Kong had shown this expression before.

After that incident, one of the Seventy-two Earth Spirits suffered Master Kong’s wrath.

Subsequently, that Earth Spirit’s Dantian was shattered, their cultivation dissipated into smoke, and they became utterly useless.

The most ridiculous part was that the true reason for Master Kong’s anger was merely that the person had slept in class and mentioned a woman’s name.

Since then, everyone knew that Master Kong utterly despised women.

He really, really despised them.

Now, Qin Hao had once again provoked Master Kong over a "woman" issue.

Is he really courting death?

"Qin Hao."

At this moment, Master Kong on the stage spoke, "Do you think you have great comprehension skills?"

"Not really," Qin Hao gently shook his head, "I just understand straightforward things."

"Straightforward, you mean to say that what I teach is straightforward?"

Master Kong’s words made everyone’s hairs stand on end. Was Qin Hao insane to fan the flames of Master Kong’s anger?

"That’s right!"

Qin Hao nodded slightly, as Master Kong raised an eyebrow and clenched his fist.

The next moment, Qin Hao continued, "But don’t think straightforward is a derogatory term. Quite the contrary, because the world is full of fools and there are too few people as wise as Master Kong. If you want to educate them, making things too profound won’t work. After all, not everyone is as extraordinarily smart as you are."

"And making principles straightforward is the most efficient shortcut for Master Kong to educate the masses."

This flattery improved Master Kong’s mood a bit, but he still didn’t intend to let Qin Hao go.

"Qin Hao, due to your demonstration of friendship, I’ve decided to give you an opportunity to touch the Dream Stone." Master Kong suddenly smiled, somewhat gently.

Initially, everyone thought Master Kong had had a change of heart.

But upon hearing "Dream Stone," everyone felt a chill to the core.

The Dream Stone! Is this the stone that had scared people to death before?

Master Kong, how deeply must you hate to torment Qin Hao like this!

"What is the Dream Stone?" Qin Hao asked with a face full of confusion.

Master Kong explained with a smile, "It’s a stone related to cultivation. By touching it, you enter a dream world where you can cultivate, and your progress there will be faster than in the secular world. Upon leaving the dream, your cultivation within it can materialize in reality."

"Is it really that miraculous? Isn’t it a divine artifact then!"

Qin Hao’s eyes brightened; according to Master Kong, the time within the Dream Stone surely differs from the outside world.

If I train inside the Dream Stone for ten years, wouldn’t I have ten years of cultivation upon coming out?

Damn! This is too crazy!

Seeing the interest in Qin Hao’s eyes, Master Kong gave a "benevolent" smile, "Would you like to try it?"

"Of course, of course!"

Qin Hao nodded eagerly, but someone tugged at his clothes from behind. He turned to see Wang Tu’s fearful face shaking slightly.

"Wang Tu, what’s wrong?"

Qin Hao noticed Wang Tu’s frightened face and asked.

"Boss Qin... don’t..."

Wang Tu only got halfway through before Master Kong on the lecture stage sneered, "Wang Tu, are you disturbing the classroom discipline?"

Upon these words, Wang Tu shuddered fiercely and chose to obediently close his mouth.

He intended to warn Qin Hao not to enter the Dream Stone.

However, under Master Kong’s threat, he chose to comply.

Qin Hao wasn’t foolish; he could judge from everyone’s expressions that the "Dream Stone" wasn’t something good.

But, as someone with absolute confidence in himself, a prodigy of his generation, Qin Hao was not afraid.

No matter what, the Dream Stone couldn’t be a malevolent object that harms life.

Otherwise, Master Kong wouldn’t dare present it to harm me.

After all, the Huashan Sect has its own rules.

"Let’s do it."

With Qin Hao’s crisp voice, Master Kong on the podium showed a pleased smile as he pulled a stone from his pocket and placed it on the ground.

"Please, come here." Pleased, Master Kong couldn’t help but use the word "please," which was very unusual.

Qin Hao strode over, sat on the cushion on the ground, and asked, "Should I just put my hand on it?"

"Yes, touch the stone, immerse yourself in the mood, and you can enter the world of the Dream Stone."

Master Kong’s voice had a hint of inducement.

"Alright!"

After speaking, Qin Hao placed his hand on the Dream Stone, his eyes closing tightly as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Watching this, Master Kong displayed a self-satisfied smile and said, "Good! What a courageous Qin Hao! I never expected that amongst the new disciples, there would be such talent!"

He suddenly changed his expression, the smile morphing into rage, with frantic twitching eyebrows, he shouted a sentence from his throat: "Now, repent well in the Dream Stone!"

Everyone saw Master Kong’s furious expression and felt a chilling fear; Master Kong’s fury was truly terrifying!

On the other side, Jin Ni’Er quietly asked Wang Tu, "What exactly is the Dream Stone?"

Wang Tu glanced at Master Kong, noticing the latter was intently watching Qin Hao, having no leisure to pay attention to himself, he gathered the courage to explain softly, "It’s a bizarre mental world. As long as you touch it and concentrate, you can project your spirit into it."

"Isn’t that like the Illusion Mirror in the Immortal Mansion?" Jin Kui realized, somewhat surprised.

"Martial Ancestor Mansion? Have you been there?" Wang Tu was somewhat surprised, then wryly smiled, "It’s probably a similar world, but I heard the Illusion Mirror in the Martial Ancestor Mansion tempts with beauty. The Dream Stone, however, is different; in that world, there is nothing but endless fear!"

"Fear?" Jin Ni’Er and Jin Kui were even more puzzled.

Wang Tu, however, stayed as silent as a cicada in winter, only shaking his head, "I’ve never been in, so I don’t actually know. But those who have entered say that world is like Hell, and anyone who has gone there once would never go a second time!"

"Moreover!" At this point, Liu Qing beside them, with a pale face, added, "Only twenty people have entered the Dream Stone. Of these, ten successfully came out, but later were unable to advance in power due to the Stone’s influence. Some even suffered from frequent nightmares and eventually became madmen, unable to bear the torment."

At this, the Jin Family siblings’ faces turned pale.

Only now did they realize how terrifying the Dream Stone actually was!

"Then, what about the other ten?" With a hint of curiosity, Jin Ni’Er couldn’t help but ask.

"Of the other ten, three died on the spot. The other seven reportedly went into mental collapse and entered a vegetative state, never waking up again."

"What!" Upon hearing this, the Jin Family siblings exchanged glances, their faces filled with regret.
