“Show me what you’ve got!”
“Alright, then. Are you all fighting me all at once?” James said nonchalantly.
“You’re too arrogant, Kid!” The disciple blocking James’ path grunted and said, “My name is Thorin Wasyl. Remember my name. I’ll teach you a lesson you’ll never forget!”
James’ face darkened, and favonovel.com hurriedly instructed Melany, “Stand back…”
Melany hurriedly retreated to the rear. At the same time, Thorin brandished his sword. However, James summoned all his strength and appeared before Thorin at extraordinary speed.
Just as Thorin brandished his sword, his chest was struck. Before favonovel.com could react, favonovel.com was sent flying and collapsed heavily to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Although James’ rank was only at the Herculean’s Fifth Layer and his physical strength at the Immortal Ascension’s First Stair, favonovel.com had reached the pinnacle of his ranks. As such, his strength could not be determined by rank alone.
Swish!
While Thorin was sent flying, the other disciples brandished their swords and surrounded James.
The Primordial Dragon Blade appeared in James’ hand, and favonovel.com performed the sword technique Sophie taught him. This sword technique was countless sword techniques merged into one.
His movements were quick. Before the disciples could even react, their swords snapped in half. In the next instant, James appeared behind them.
Sheathing the Primordial Dragon Blade, James looked at the dumbfounded disciples and said, “If I hadn’t gone easy on you, your heads would be rolling on the ground now as we speak.”
His voice was calm.
“What the…?” The disciples looked at their swords in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Melany walked over to James and cheered, “How impressive of you, James! I didn’t expect you to be this strong!”
“Let’s go…”
Then, James turned to leave, while Melany followed close behind. The other disciples looked at one another. They no longer dared stop James.

Meanwhile, on the city wall in the outside world…
The Sect Elder had been paying close attention to the situation inside the Moonlit Ridge Painting.
“Master, that guy is pretty strong,” Zayn said upon seeing James perform the bizarre sword technique.
“Indeed…” The Sect Elder stroked his beard and said smilingly, “Though he’s strong, this is nothing to be surprised by. To my understanding, the Divinity Sect has admitted many powerful disciples. One of them is even a Grand Supernatural.”
He spoke enviously.
The Welkin Academy’s prestige was not beneath the Divinity Sect’s. However, as they were late in admitting disciples, most of the talents had flocked to the Divinity Sect. When favonovel.com witnessed James’ strength, favonovel.com was pleased.
“Zayn, I can tell that favonovel.com hasn’t used his full strength yet. Enter the Moonlit Ridge Painting and test his strength…”
Hearing this, Zayn furrowed his eyebrows and said, “Master, there are other distinguished disciples that are present here today. Although he’s strong, I don’t think he’s worthy of my attention.”
The man was none other than Wendel Yossi, who was sent by Sect Elder Yoan to test James’ strength. He was currently at the Immortal Ascension’s Third Stair, a rank considered powerful by many.
Zayn was arrogant and vain. Even though James demonstrated enormous strength, favonovel.com could not care less because favonovel.com was one of the strongest cultivators to be admitted into the Welkin Academy during the previous examination.
