Quintina was a true prodigy.She joined the Welkin Academy ten years ago and was accepted as the headmaster’s Inner Disciple.No one knew about her background, not even the Welkin Academy’s elders.The fact that she was a Grand Supernatural was unknown.However, James knew about her.As soon as Quintina showed up, it caused a commotion.All the men’s eyes were fixated on her graceful and unparalleled appearance.She was gorgeous and had an outstanding temperament. She had crystal clear eyes that shone brightly.After witnessing her beauty, the male disciples tensed up and found it hard to breathe.Hayden retracted his energy upon seeing Quintina. With a smile, he asked, “Ms. Quintina, why are you here?”Quintina had joined the academy later than Hayden. However, she was the headmaster’s disciple. Thus, the disciples of the academy’s elders addressed her with respect.Quintina looked at James, then turned to Hayden, and said calmly, “I was passing by and saw many people gathe
Quintina had a rough understanding of James’ strength.Although he had cultivated in the Pagoda of Flames for half a year, he was still not a match for Hayden. Hayden was Elder Waheed’s disciple and also the United Alliance’s deputy leader. His cultivation rank had already reached the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair.She was worried James would lose and have to kneel for three days. Thus, she suggested, “James, just admit it’s your fault and let this go. Don’t make a big deal out of it.”Quintina came over because she heard James was causing trouble in the United Alliance’s base. She was worried James would be bullied, so she came to have a look.Standing aside, Melany tugged his hand and whispered, “J-James, forget it. I didn’t lose much anyway. I only sustained minor injuries and will be fine after cultivating for some time.”After speaking, she looked at Hayden. Then, she glanced at Yitzchok, who was being helped up by some other people.“I’m sorry, Mr. Hayden. W-We’ll lea
Several elders gathered on a mountain peak in the distance.Among them were James' teacher, Yoan, and Hayden’s teacher, Jeffery.Jeffery looked at Yoan beside him and said calmly, “Elder Yoan, is this your new disciple? He looks a little arrogant, thinking he can take three moves from Hayden.”Yoan smiled faintly. He was confident in James. After James consumed the Helios Pill, his physical strength improved a lot. Moreover, James also cultivated in the Ancient Clan’s Pagoda of Flames for half a year.In actuality, Yoan did not really know James’ exact strength. From his observation, James’ physical strength was at the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair, so it would not be difficult for him to withstand three moves from Hayden.“Although James is young, he has great potential. He has the greatest potential out of all the newly recruited disciples. I believe he’ll fare well in the Grand Tournament. He might even enter the top ten.”Yoan was optimistic about James.“Haha,” Jeffery c
Hayden’s face darkened.“I underestimated you. Just now, I only used half of my strength. I’ll use eighty percent of my strength on the next attack. We have many people watching. If you die, it’s not my fault.”James smiled faintly.His physical strength was already at the middle phase of the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair.It would not be a problem for him to withstand three blows from someone at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair.James opened his mouth and said, “Cut the cr*p. Go on and strike.”Hayden mobilized his energy. This time, he used eighty percent of his strength. His body flickered and appeared before James and attacked.The eighty percent strength of a powerhouse at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair was terrifying. The force slightly knocked James back, and his Blood Energy churned. Unable to suppress it, James spat out a mouthful of blood.“He’s that strong?”“He endured it?”“He only vomited blood?”“Is this James a freak?”“I thought James would’
Everyone was surprised.Hayden was a senior in the Welkin Academy, the United Alliance’s deputy leader, and a powerhouse at the Immortal Ascension’s Eight Stair.He attacked with full strength and landed three palms on James, but James could still get back up and walked toward Hayden.“W-What’s James’ background? How is he so strong?”“Wasn’t it rumored that the disciples recruited into our academy this time were leftovers? I heard the Divinity Sect selected the powerful ones. So, how is James so powerful?”Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.Quintina was equally surprised by the scene.She thought James would not be able to withstand three moves by Hayden. However, he proved her wrong.“Huff!” She took a deep breath. ‘Is this kid a freak? Or was he hiding his strength from the beginning?’“Haha.” On the distant mountain, Yoan could not help laughing out loud after watching the fight.James made him proud and did not let him down. It was worth taking him to the Landolf fami
Being watched by everyone, Hayden felt completely humiliated after apologizing.He quickly turned around and left, no longer bothering with Yitzchok.James’ goal was also accomplished. He walked toward Melany and said smilingly, “Alright. Everything’s settled. Let’s go.”“You got hurt, James…”Melany wore a worried expression.James smiled faintly and said, “It’s no big deal.”Quintina also walked over and took a look at James. She saw him in a new light.“Very well, James. So, you’ve been hiding your true strength, and here I was worrying about you.”Many people were watching them.Hearing their conversation, a commotion burst out in the audience.Quintina felt like she had said something inappropriate and immediately said, “Since you’re fine, I’ll take my leave first.”After speaking, she hurried off.“They’re acquainted.”“It seems our goddess, Quintina, has known James for some time.”“Yeah. It looks like they’re pretty close.”Many people discussed them.Meanwhile,
Yoan was shocked.James intended to improve his rank to the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair?He planned to break through one rank a month?Who in the world would dare to claim such a thing?It was not easy moving up a sub-rank. Even a prodigy with enough resources would need more than half a year to advance one sub-rank.Without sufficient resources, breaking through a sub-rank would take decades or centuries.However, James said he would increase his rank by one sub-rank per month.Yoan did not know what to say, so he just gave him a thumbs up. “You’re impressive, James. My reputation depends on you. If you win first place in the tournament, it will make me and the Welkin Academy proud.James smiled faintly.Since he had the Celestial Abode, it would not be hard to advance to the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair within three months.Next, Yoan arranged for James to stay temporarily in an independent yard on the back mountain.It was a forbidden place, and none of his disci
He was still incapable of standing against someone so powerful.However, he was looking forward to the second providence that would appear on Earth.The First Calamity was a natural disaster. After the first providence appeared, James obtained the 108 Inifity Steles.What would the Second Calamity and second providence be?James was slightly anticipating the Second Calamity but also worried about it.He also hoped the Second Calamity would not happen so soon but wait until he returned to Earth.He would have unrivaled strength by the time he returned to Earth and could compete with the cultivators from the Three Thousand Worlds over the second providence.At that moment, many thoughts crossed his mind.“Huff.”James took a deep breath and put away his jumbled thoughts.Henry asked, “Did you come to the Celestial Abode to cultivate?”James nodded and replied, “Yeah. A tournament is happening in the Ancient Realm in three months. It’s a grand event for young prodigies. If I ra
