Chapter 4654


    Wael was considered one of the top cultivators of the Verde Academy. The man was even deemed a


    genius cultivator who had shown the greatest potential in achieving the Chaos Rank in the Verde


    District.


    Unfortunately, hemitted a grave mistake in the past. Since then, Wael had been tormented by his


    internal conflicts and inner demons. Not only did he not make any progress in his cultivation, but Wael


    had also noticed signs of his powers regressing.


    Therefore, Wael nned to make James the next head of the Tempris House. After the transition, he


    could then embark on a journey with the hopes of finding sce for his personal issues.


    “We are not sure when the Headmaster will return. Once he is back, he’ll officiate the battle between


    you and Wynona. You should prepare yourself for the time being. Wynona Yurro is not an easy


    opponent.”


    After sharing that advice, Wael got up and left the room to give James privacy. A short whileter,


    James cast a formation around his room to keep his aura contained within the space. Then, he also set


    up a time formation.


    James began absorbing the Acme-grade herbs to grow and improve his bloodline power. He had no


    idea how much time had passed since he was focused on his cultivation.


    After some time, James detected slight movement outside his formation. He stopped training and


    removed the formations around his room. In an instant, he sensed that 300 years had gone by in the


    outside world since he started refining the herbs.


    Someone opened the door and came in the next instant. It was Wael again.


    The elderly man had a bright smile on his face. “How did your training go?”


    “It went well,” James replied cheerfully.


    After awakening the Thousand Paths Holy Body and reaching thete stage in the Ninth Rank of


    Omniscience Path, James’ spiritual powers had grown substantially as well. He could tell that even his


    spiritual powers had entered thete stage of Caelum Acme Rank, just like his bloodline power. On the


    surface, his cultivation rank still remained the same as before.


    “That’s wonderful news.”


    Wael continued, “Our Headmaster has returned to Verde Academy, and is waiting at the main hall now.


    I’m here to take you there right now.”


    Wael grabbed James by the arm and dragged him along.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Soon enough, both of them arrived inside the hall. James could see over hundreds of cultivators had


    gathered in the main hall. Most of them were incredible and well-known powerhouses from the Five


    Houses of the Verde Academy.


    A sagely-looking elderly gentleman stood at the center of the stage. He was the Verde Academy’s


    Headmaster, Lothar Qoreto.


    “That’s James Caden!”


    “Mhm. Even Eamon Jezekiel from the Zastra House was no match for him.”


    There were soft murmurs among the crowd as soon as James entered the main hall. Ady in a pink


    dress standing just a few steps away from Lothar silently directed her gaze at James as well.


    “Sir Lothar, I’ve brought James Caden here.” Wael bowed to Lothar slightly.


    “Thanks.” Lothar nodded. “Since everyone is already here, I’ll briefly exin the rules of the battle.”


    James and the youngdy in pink turned their attention toward Lothar.


    “Contenders are allowed to use any signature skills, weapons, and tactics during the battle. Still, both


    parties must exercise respect and demonstrate good sportsmanship at all times.


    “If any one of the contenders admits defeat during the match, the other person has to stop their attack


    immediately. Those who do not adhere to the rules will be severely punished.


    “Alright. Let’s head to the arena now.”


    When James and the group of cultivators had made it to the arena, they could see that many students


    had shown up at the venue as well.


    “Good luck, James!”


    “James, we’re counting on you!”
