Chapter 2222
Saving James’ life was perhaps the wisest decision she had ever made. Not too far away, a group of Welkin Academy disciples was stunned to see them. “How did they manage to arrive at the central region in three days? They must be insanely powerful.” “I wonder who they are.” “Why don’t we test their strength?” “I’d advise against it. The Sect Elder will be mad if he hears about it.” They began conversing upon seeing James and Melany. James paid no heed to them. He found a random spot, sat in a lotus position on the ground, and began absorbing the Empyrean Spiritual Energy of the Moonlit Ridge Painting. Melany, on the other hand, simply observed him. Time passed. In the blink of an eye, five days passed. Though there were two days remaining, those who had yet to arrive at the central region had been disqualified as ten thousand people had already gathered there. Then, the disciples of the academy began counting the number of tokens each examinee had in their possess
Chapter 2223
Melany was pessimistic about her luck. Regardless, she was grateful for James’ help to have arrived at this stage. James waited patiently for his battle. Since he only had a single token in his possession, he was ranked last. Naturally, he would be the first to fight. The arena was divided into many sections. In the section where James was, a disciple of the academy announced, “First round, James Caden versus Heriberto Yehoshua.” Then, a man walked toward the center of the arena. The arena was divided into many tiny arenas where many cultivators gathered. James looked at the man. He knew that was his opponent, Heriberto Yehoshua. As long as he could defeat him, he would advance to the next round. Then, he would emerge victorious by being in the top ten and become a disciple of the Welkin Academy. He walked toward the center of the arena. The disciple looked at them and reminded them, “This is a sparring match and not a fight to the death. As such, you’re strictly forbid

Yoan, the Sect Elder of the Welkin Academy, appeared and looked at the crowd below, saying, “Next will be the battle royale. There are no rules whatsoever, and you’re allowed to use any weapons and resort to any underhanded tricks until only ten of you remain. In any case, you’ll be forfeited the moment you fall off the arena. However, this does not mean that you’ll be disqualified.” “In the event that we’re short of a thousand finalists, the battle royale will continue until we reach the number.” Yoan’s voice boomed. Upon hearing this, the crowd was looking forward to the battle royale. By arriving at the central region and advancing to the current round, they were all confident in their own strength. Soon, a disciple of the academy entered the arena and began calling out names. Those whose name was on the list entered the arena and prepared for battle. James did not participate in the first round, and neither did Melany. The first round began. The battle was fierce. S
Chapter 2225
James’ opponents were specially arranged by Yoan, who was curious to see if he could emerge victorious with someone dragging him down. He was intrigued by James’ true strength. That was because he could easily see through any other cultivator out there. Yet, the opposite was true for James. At that moment, the examinees hurriedly dispersed. Meanwhile, James remained at the center. Scanning his surroundings, he looked at Melany and ordered her, “Stay close, and don’t move around by yourself. If you fall out of the arena, you’ll lose the right to enter the academy.” “I will.” Melany nodded. James was her final hope. Without his protection, she would be able to join the Welkin Academy. In the arena, everyone was on high alert, frantically searching for the weaker ones to knock them out of the battle. James, on the other hand, could not care less as he possessed extraordinary strength. The only thing he needed to do was to knock the others out and end the battle as soon as po

However, almost immediately, a group of cultivators approached them. “Get lost!” James’ face darkened as he exuded a terrifying aura. Then, he waved his arm, summoning a hurricane with his True Energy. Seeing this, the cultivators hurriedly staggered backward. After learning of James’ strength, no one dared approach him. Melany sat on the ground, her face pale. With great difficulty, she said, “I’m injured, James. Just leave me be. I don’t want to drag you down. If you’re disqualified because of me, I’ll feel guilty for a lifetime.” James smiled faintly and said, “Since I made a promise, I’ll keep my word. I’ll definitely make you a disciple of the Welkin Academy.” Then, he raised his arm, and a steel wire fell from his sleeves, which transformed into many silver needles. Holding Crucifier in his hand, he treated Melany’s injuries. Soon, her injuries were healed. “What is this?” She was stunned. James smiled faintly and said nothing, storing Crucifier away. Melany sto

As the other examinees were simply too weak, James managed to become a Welkin Academy disciple alongside Melany. After the battle, they headed to the rest area and rested. Once she became an academy disciple, Melany kept thanking James profusely, to which James only smiled and said nothing. The other battles raged on. Some examinees were disqualified, while a selected few were able to emerge victorious. After a fierce battle, a thousand disciples had been selected. “Congratulations on becoming disciples of the Welkin Academy,” Yoan’s voice boomed. “There’ll be another battle that determines the top ten rankings. Keep in mind that there are many benefits to being in the top ten. For example, you will gain the right to be admitted as a disciple of the Sect Elders, whereas the cultivator in the first place will be allowed to be admitted as a disciple of the headmaster. “Apart from that, the top ten will gain the right to enter the Welkin Academy’s library chamber and choose

Yoan shrugged and sighed, “This is out of my control. I didn’t expect the Divinity Sect to admit new disciples before us.” Jeffery stepped forward and looked at the new disciples. Obviously displeased, he said, “Look at the quality of disciples you admitted.” Jeffery looked around fifty years old and was wearing a yellow robe. Scanning the crowd, he was able to see through the cultivation base of every cultivator using his Divine Sense. Then, his gaze was fixed on Melany. “What the hell? Why is there a cultivator at the Supernatural rank here? What the hell have you been up to, Sect Elder Yoan? Don’t tell me you’re practicing favoritism now!” Hearing this, Melany lowered her head and did not dare utter a single word. Just as Yoan wanted to explain… “Enough,” the man in the white robe said. He was the headmaster of the Welkin Academy and one of the strongest individuals in the Ancient Realm. He said, “This is not Sect Elder Yoan’s fault.” Hearing this, Yoan breathed

This was all James could do to help. From now on, Melany would have to depend on herself. After greeting James, Melany turned to leave. Coincidentally, she lived just next door to James. Perhaps this was Sect Elder Yoan’s special arrangement. After joining the Welkin Academy, James cultivated in the courtyard each day. Though he wanted to enter the Celestial Abode’s Time Chamber, he was worried that he would be assigned tasks by his seniors. Things would certainly become troublesome should he simply vanish without a trace. So, he decided against heading to the Celestial Abode for the time being. Three days later, Yoan appeared in James’ courtyard. Seeing this, James hurriedly stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Sect Elder.” Yoan waved slightly. James looked at him, intrigued by his sudden visit. “You must be James Caden, aren’t you?” Yoan asked.“Yes.” James nodded and asked, “Is something the matter, Sect Elder?” Yoan stroked his beard and said smilingly, “I hav
