Chapter 2229


    This was all James could do to help. From now on, Mny would have to depend on herself.


    After greeting James, Mny turned to leave.


    Coincidentally, she lived just next door to James. Perhaps this was Sect Elder Yoan’s special


    arrangement.


    After joining the Welkin Academy, James cultivated in the courtyard each day. Though he wanted to


    enter the Celestial Abode’s Time Chamber, he was worried that he would be assigned tasks by his


    seniors. Things would certainly be troublesome should he simply vanish without a trace. So, he


    decided against heading to the Celestial Abode for the time being.


    Three dayster, Yoan appeared in James’ courtyard.


    Seeing this, James hurriedly stood up and greeted him respectfully, “Sect Elder.”


    Yoan waved slightly.


    James looked at him, intrigued by his sudden visit.


    “You must be James Caden, aren’t you?” Yoan asked.


    “Yes.” James nodded and asked, “Is something the matter, Sect Elder?”


    Yoan stroked his beard and said smilingly, “I have taken an interest in you ever since you entered the


    Moonlit Ridge Painting. Your sword technique is impable, and you have enormous strength. To think


    you’d have such power at such a young age… I must say that you’re the most distinguished disciple of


    this examination.”


    “You tter me.” James was humble.


    “Would you like to be my disciple?” Yoan asked.


    “…” Hearing this, James froze momentarily before asking, “Pardon?”


    Yoan said, “Since you demonstrate considerable potential, I have ns to admit you as my disciple. Of


    course, I won’t force you if you’re unwilling to do so.”


    James was lost in contemtion. After some time, he asked, “What do I gain in return by bing


    your disciple?”


    “Hahaha!” Yoan roared inughter and said, “Well, I can’t count them all. For one, ordinary disciples of


    the academy will have to constantly work in the fields. By bing my disciple, you’ll be exempted


    from all that. Besides, some of the academy’s instructors will asionally hold sses. By bing


    my disciple, you’ll gain VIP ess to those sses.”


    Hearing this, James believed this was a fair deal. At least there would be a Sect Elder shielding him


    from outside threats. Based on his previous calctions, he nned to secure first ce and be


    the headmaster’s disciple. However, one of the Sect Elders believed that was no point in organizing a


    tournament as the disciples this year were ordinary in strength.

    James hurriedly knelt. “Please take me in as your disciple.”


    A smile crept up on Yoan’s face as he said, “Please rise.”


    James stood up.


    Yoan asked, “All this while, I wasn’t able to see through your true strength. I can’t sense any fluctuation


    of True Energy inside your body. Have you cultivated some sort of cultivation method to conceal your


    True Energy? By the way, what rank are you at now?”


    James was able to attract Yoan’s attention because thetter was unable to see through his true


    strength.


    James smiled and nodded, “Yes.”


    He had cultivated Sacrilegious Ascension, and there were now energy seas in his acupuncture points


    where he could store True Energy. As long as he did not catalyze True Energy, none would be able to


    see through his strength.


    Faced with his master, he chose to disclose his strength.


    “Though I’m only at the Herculean’s Fifth Layer, I have been cultivating my physical body. My physical


    strength is now equivalent to a cultivator at the Immortal Ascension’s First Stair.’


    Hearing this, Yoan was stunned.


    “The Herculean’s Fifth Layer but with physical strength at the Immortal Ascension’s First Stair?”
