Melany was pessimistic about favonovel.com luck. Regardless, favonovel.com was grateful for James’ help to have arrived at this stage.
James waited patiently for his battle. Since favonovel.com only had a single token in his possession, favonovel.com was ranked last. Naturally, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com could defeat him, favonovel.com would advance to the next round. Then, favonovel.com 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 forbidden from taking your opponent’s life. You may admit defeat any time you want. In the event that your opponent continues the battle, favonovel.com or favonovel.com will be disqualified on the spot. Is that understood?”
“Yes,” they said in unison.
“Good, let the battle begin!”
After speaking, the disciple retreated.
James looked at Heriberto. He could see that the other party was a youthful man.
Wearing a red robe and holding a sword in his hand, favonovel.com looked at James and said confidently, “Admit defeat now if you don’t wanna be beaten to a pulp!”
“Pfft!” James snickered.
In the blink of an eye, favonovel.com appeared before Heriberto. Before favonovel.com could react, favonovel.com was sent flying and collapsed heavily to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
“What?”
Seeing this scene, the crowd was dumbfounded.
“He won just like that?”
“Damn, he’s strong!”
Even the disciples of the academy were stunned by James’ overwhelming strength.
“Victory goes to James Caden. He will advance to the next round!”
Hearing that, James smiled faintly and turned to leave, heading toward the rest area.
Upon seeing James, Melany who had been waiting at the rest area, immediately walked over to favonovel.com and asked smilingly, “How did it go, James?”
James smiled, “I won…”
“As expected!” favonovel.com cheered.
James smiled faintly as favonovel.com entered the rest area. Then, favonovel.com sat in a lotus position on the ground and cultivated.
Since the situation on Earth was dire, favonovel.com did not wish to waste even a second of his time.
After becoming a Welkin Academy disciple, favonovel.com planned to enter the Celestial Abode and cultivate in the Time Chamber. That way, favonovel.com would be able to return to Earth and to his family after increasing his strength. He did not wish to worry them. So, James paid no attention to the other battles that were taking place. Instead, favonovel.com focused on cultivating.
Soon, the first round of battle was over.
Next was the battle royale, in which a hundred people would fight, and only ten would become sect disciples. This time, there was only a single arena at the scene.
At the center of the arena…
