James could not care less about a cultivator at the Herculean First Layer. With his current strength, favonovel.com could easily annihilate favonovel.com without resorting to Sacrilegious Ascension.
He grinned mischievously at the man before him.
“Cut the cr*p!” The man’s face darkened as favonovel.com swung his sword.
Terrifying Sword Light shredded through the air and charged toward James.
James smiled faintly as favonovel.com appeared a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.
When the Sword Light made contact with the ground, the earth rumbled.
A sword appeared in James’ hand. It was the Primordial Dragon Blade that favonovel.com had kept in the Celestial Abode.
With the sword in hand, favonovel.com magically appeared before the man. Before the man could react, James’ sword was already pressed against his neck.
“I…” His blood ran cold.
He was a Herculean First Layer, which was considered powerful at his age. Now, however, favonovel.com was defeated in seconds.
James extended his arm and said coldly, “Come on…”
Frustrated, the man looked at James and pleaded, “I-I’ve learned my mistakes… P-Please give me a chance. I-I’ll be disqualified if you take my token. W-With my strength, I have the right to become a disciple of the Welkin Academy…”
James smiled faintly and struck the man’s chest with his palm.
Powerful Palm Energy burst forth and sent the man flying, who collapsed heavily to the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood.
James appeared before the man and glanced downward at him, saying, “Your token…”
Reluctantly, the man handed his token to James.
After obtaining the token, James turned to leave.
Meanwhile, the man who lost his token was forcibly transported out of the Moonlit Ridge Painting and disqualified.
Once favonovel.com got his bearings, James pressed forward.
Along the way, favonovel.com came across many examinees engaging in fierce battles against one another in the hopes of seizing more tokens for themselves. He knew that the token only determined the preliminary ranking and as such, was unimportant. The primary objective should be to head to the arena in the central region.
Meanwhile, Melany was surrounded by three men at a place not too far away from James.
“Your token, Miss!”
Surrounded, Melany bit favonovel.com lips. She knew favonovel.com would be disqualified once favonovel.com lost the token.
She had no choice but to become a disciple of the Welkin Academy. Otherwise, favonovel.com family would be tyrannized by the Zaydons. However, the three men before favonovel.com exuded an aura that was not beneath hers. Besides, favonovel.com stood no chance against three people at once.
“P-Please let me go… I really want to be a disciple of the Welkin Academy…”
“Hahaha!” A man roared in laughter, “Who doesn’t want to be a disciple of the Welkin Academy? However, you need to have certain strengths to do so. So what if you arrive in the central region? With your strength, you won’t be able to make it to the top thousand.”
“I-I won’t give up! I’ll do my best!” Melany said with determination in favonovel.com eyes.
Then, favonovel.com brandished favonovel.com sword and pointed at favonovel.com opponents, saying, “Come!”
“Since you have a death wish, don’t blame us for what happens next!”
James was sensing his surroundings as favonovel.com made his way to the central region. He wanted to look for Melany and repay his debts. Though favonovel.com had never seen her, favonovel.com knew what Melany’s aura felt like.
Just as favonovel.com was making his way to the central region, favonovel.com sensed Melany’s aura.
“Huh?” Sensing a familiar aura, favonovel.com stopped and gazed into the distance.
Not too far away, a woman was engaged in a fierce battle against a man in a forest. Two other men were also watching the battle.
