Chapter 2224
Yoan, the Sect Elder of the Welkin Academy, appeared and looked at the crowd below, saying, ” Next will be the
battle royale. There are no rules whatsoever, and you’re allowed to use any weapons and resort to any
underhanded tricks until only ten of you remain. In any case, you’ll be forfeited the moment you fall off the arena.
However, this does not mean that you’ll be disqualified.”
“In the event that we’re short of a thousand finalists, the battle royale will continue until we reach the number.”
Yoan’s voice boomed.
Upon hearing this, the crowd was looking forward to the battle royale.
By arriving at the central region and advancing to the current round, they were all confident in their own strength.
Soon, a disciple of the academy entered the arena and began calling out names. Those whose name was on the list
entered the arena and prepared for battle.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJames did not participate in the first round, and neither did Melany.
The first round began.
The battle was fierce. Swords clashed and fists collided.
Melany watched the battle nervously. James, on the other hand, paid no heed to the battle and instead focused on
cultivating. The examinees were much weaker than he was. As such, there was no need to spectate the battle.
The first round lasted a few hours. Then, the second round began. It was not James’ turn
either.
James simply waited patiently. A few more rounds continued.
“James Caden.”
After some time, it was finally James’ turn. He stood up.
Melany offered him words of encouragement, “You can do this, James!!

“Mhm.” James nodded slightly. Then, he leaped into the air and appeared in the arena.
As the disciple continued reading through the name list, Melany waited nervously. She really wished to be on the
same team as James. That was the only way she could emerge victorious and become a disciple of the Welkin
Academy.
However, as more and more people entered the arena, she was dismayed. There were already more than ninety
people in the arena. Seeing this, Melany knew she would soon be saying goodbye to the academy. Without James’
help, she would be disqualified without a doubt.
“Melany Yanis.”
Just as she had given up hope, she heard her name. At that moment, she could not believe her ears. She simply
remained rooted to her spot, petrified.
“Melany Yanis,” the disciple said once more.
Melany collected herself and swiftly entered the arena. Immediately, she rushed toward James ‘side and shouted in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmexhilaration, “James, I’m on the same team as you!”
“That’s great!” James laughed.
He never thought Melany would be on the same team as him. With him by her side, she would be able to enter the
top ten easily.
At that moment, Yoan appeared on the stage and looked at the examinees, especially James. He had specially
made arrangements for James and Melany to be on the same team. As he had been watching James intently, he
knew just how powerful he was and how weak Melany actually was.
The examinees present on the stage were specially arranged as well. They all had great strength. If randomly
assigned, all of them should be able to become disciples of the Welkin Academy.
Among the examinees, there was also a handful of Immortal Ascensions. Apart from James, he had also taken an
interest in another individual. Though the individual kept a low profile, he demonstrated strength that was
comparable to James.
“Do your best, everyone. The final ten remaining will become academy disciples.”
Then, he turned to leave the arena.
Immediately, the examinees dispersed and maintained a certain distance from the others for fear of being
ambushed.
