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

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, he or she 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 was a youthful man. Wearing a red robe and holding a sword in his hand, he looked

“What?”
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.”

smilingly, “How did it go, James?”
James smiled, “I won.”
“As expected!” she cheered.
James smiled faintly as he entered the rest area. Then, he sat in a lotus position on the ground and cultivated.
Since the situation on Earth was dire, he did not wish to waste even a second of his time. After becoming a Welkin
Academy disciple, he planned to enter the Celestial Abode and cultivate in the Time Chamber. That way, he 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, he 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…
