Chapter 2248


    James casually pointed to one of the Ancient n’s disciples.


    “I choose him.”


    After James selected his opponent, those behind him also began choosing theirs in order.


    Then, the contest began.


    Since James was the first to pick an opponent, thepetition began with him versus his chosen


    opponent.


    His opponent was a disciple from the Ancient n.


    Outside the arena, Quintina looked at Yoan with a bright smile and said, “Sir Yoan, your disciple has a


    bad eye for opponents. The person he picked isn’t just some regr guy. He’s the eldest grandson of


    one of our eldersand had been personally tutored by the elder since he was a child. Although he’s


    young, he isn’t weak. He is already at the Immortal Ascension’s Fourth Stair.”


    Yoan smiled faintly and said, “Just sit back and wait to be surprised, then. I’m confident in James.”


    At that moment, the Ancient n disciple drew his sword. He pointed his long sword at James, and


    Sword Energy rippled through the air. He looked at James calmly and said, “Draw your sword.”


    James smiled faintly.


    Since there were plenty of powerhouses in the opposite group, he would have to go against them


    sooner orter in thepetition. Thus, he wanted to disy monstrous strength so these stronger


    opponents would avoid him and choose someone else instead.


    “I don’t need a sword to fight you.”


    “Haha! You’re just being arrogant.”


    The Ancient n discipleughed out loud.


    Then, extremely powerful energy burst out of his body.


    He gripped his sword and charged at James.


    James stood in ce motionlessly like a tree rooted in the ground.


    The long sharp sword zeroed in on his chest. James remained in ce and the sword failed to pierce


    through his body.


    “That’s all you got?” James smirked.


    “You?”


    The Ancient n disciple was shocked.


    He attacked with all his strength, but he was not able to wound James’ body.


    James suddenly released his energy. His body’s physical strength was unleashed, and his opponent’s


    sword broke as a result.


    The Ancient n disciple was sent flying and mmed into the ground, spitting out a mouthful of


    blood.


    “He has such potent physical strength.”


    “He’s a cultivator that practices body refinement techniques.”


    “Jasper Gideon is at the Immortal Ascension’s Fourth Stair yet could not deal any damage despite


    going all out. How strong is this guy’s physical body if he can resist the attack?”


    Outside the arena, many people from the Ancient n were shocked.


    Even the Divinity Sect’s leader was stunned. With a solemn expression, he murmured, “I never


    expected someone to have such a strong physical body in the Welkin Academy.”


    While everyone else sat bbergasted, only Yoan had a smile on his face.


    Quintina looked at Yoan. Her pretty face was astonished as she said, “I wasn’t expecting James to be a


    cultivator that practices body refinement techniques. How strong is his physical strength? He must be


    at least at the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair, right?”


    Yoan smiled proudly, “You’ll know for yourself during the Grand Tournament.”


    Without using much strength, James easily defeated his opponent.


    Thoryn entered the arena and said, “James is the victor of the first round!”


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    After speaking, he looked at James and said, “You can head down and rest for now. After all the


    preliminary matches are over, we’ll proceed to the second round.”


    “Alright.”


    James nodded and turned around, walking out of the arena. He came to Yoan’s side and said.


    smilingly, “Did I tarnish your reputation, Sir?”


    “You did well! Very well.”


    Yoanplimented him a few times.


    Standing to the side, Quintina gave James a thumbs up and said, “It seems you’re a body refinement


    cultivator. I underestimated you.”


    James gave her a bashful smile and said, “You’re ttering me.”
