Chapter 2247


    Under Quintina’s gaze, James entered the cave once more.


    After he entered the cave, he stood two meters away from the divine sword. The sword’s aura was


    potent, and its Sword Energy was savage. James felt like his body was being scorched by fire.


    Quintina followed him into the cave again. Seeing that James could stand unscathed close to the


    sword, she found herself murmuring. “This guy doesn’t seem that weak after all. He can actually


    withstand the Sword Intent within this cave.”


    James stood still, and a vigorous Spiritual Power came from within the Celestial Abode. Itmuned


    with the divine sword and forcefully snatched the sword technique recorded within it


    A fiery red light sank into James’ forehead.


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    At that moment, James’ head was filled with massive amounts of information.


    It was aplete set of swordsmanship skills, including the cultivation method and the sword


    techniques.


    The information felt like it had been branded by hot iron into James’ mind.


    Since the sword glowed with a red light, Quintina did not catch the small red light that melded into


    James’ forehead.


    A few secondster, James turned around and left.


    Quintina nced at the sword and did not linger any further, quickly leaving the cave.


    Along the way, James encountered a few more stone caves that were a short distance away from each


    other. Divine swords rested within these caves. With Sophie’s help, James mentally acquired these


    various techniques.


    However, he did not have the time toprehend or practice them right now.


    The Ancient n’s Mound of Sabers was immense.


    Following the canyon’s natural route, James could feel some pressure bearing down on him from the


    atmosphere. Luckily for him, it was still tolerable.


    In less than a day, he reached the canyon’s exit.


    During the entire time he was there, he obtained all the sword techniques from the swords stored in the


    Mound of Sabers. In total, there were about 108 sets of sword techniques.


    He did notplete the first trial particrly quickly. Dozens of people had already passed through the


    Mound of Sabers by the time he reached the end.


    After walking out of the Mound of Sabers, he waited patiently.


    He sat in a lotus position with his eyes closed and reviewed the 108 sword techniques stored in his


    mind.


    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.


    Out of the 3,000 participants, only a hundred or so passed through the Mound of Sabers safely, and the


    rest were eliminated from thepetition.


    Therge arena on Mount Trinvard’s main peak was about 10,000 meters wide and was surrounded by


    a protective formation in the form of a mysterious circle of light.


    At that moment, the hundred or so young people who passed through the Mound of Sabers were


    standing in the arena. Thoryn stood in the front and exined the rules, “The next challenge is very


    simple. It’s a one-on-one battle. The winner advances to the next round until the top 10 contestants are


    determined. The way you’ll be matched up is also equally as simple. Participants will be divided into


    two groups, and you may freely choose your opponents from the opposing group.


    “If you win against your chosen opponent from your first match, you won’t be able to choose. your


    opponent for the next match. Instead, you’ll have to wait to be challenged by someone else.


    “Everyone clear?”


    “Yessir!”


    A neat and loud response came from the participants.


    The hundred or so participants randomly lined up and formed two rows.


    Thoryn said, “First, the group on the left will choose an opponent from the opposite side. going down


    the line.”


    James noticed he was the first person in the line on the left side.


    “We’ll start with you.” Thoryn’s voice resounded.


    James returned to his senses and looked at the group of people opposite him.


    He noticed those on the other side were all powerful people.


    Among them were Quintina and a Grand Supernatural from Divinity Sect. James learned that his name


    was Harold Carmelo.


    Loki Xabi, the Infernal Emperor’s disciple, was also on the opposite side.


    Emperor Tamen’s disciple, Demetrius Lev, also stood amongst the opposing crowd.


    Yoan had specifically pointed out these people to him. They were all extremely formidable and were


    likely going to be in the top ten in the next Grand Tournament.


    James frowned as he spotted them in the opposite group.


    He would definitely have to fight one of them in thepetition’s final rounds.


    Seeing James take a long time to choose an opponent, Thoryn frowned and urged him, What’re you


    nking out for? Hurry up.”


    At the sound of his voice, James finally came back to his senses.
