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.


    James did not participate in the first round, and neither did Mny.


    The first round began.

    The battle was fierce. Swords shed and fists collided.


    Mny 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 roundsted 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.


    Mny 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, Mny waited nervously. She really wished to


    be on the same team as James. That was the only way she could emerge victorious and be a


    disciple of the Welkin Academy.


    However, as more and more people entered the arena, she was dismayed. There were already more


    than ny people in the arena. Seeing this, Mny knew she would soon be saying goodbye to the


    academy. Without James’ help, she would be disqualified without a doubt.


    “Mny 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.


    “Mny Yanis,” the disciple said once more.


    Mny collected herself and swiftly entered the arena. Immediately, she rushed toward James ‘side


    and shouted in exhration, “James, I’m on the same team as you!”


    “That’s great!” Jamesughed.


    He never thought Mny 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 Mny to be on the same team. As he had been


    watching James intently, he knew just how powerful he was and how weak Mny 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 be 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 wasparable to James.


    “Do your best, everyone. The final ten remaining will be 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.
