Chapter 5340
James was bluffing them. It was impossible for him to show mercy in such an intense
battle. He was fighting with everything he had. Throughout the match, he had struck five
times and completely drained his three forms of all energy. He had unleashed his
strongest moves and could no longer take on another opponent. Although he maintained a
calm composure, he was already powerless.
After the five souls left the arena in embarrassment, James slumped to the ground. He
propped himself up with difficulty and sat in a lotus position. Then, he began to restore his
strength.
Countless powerhouses were gathered in the auditorium outside the arena, but it was
dead silent. The battle had ended as quickly as it started. Moreover, the outcome was
different from what everyone expected.
At that moment, the bets placed by the five races added to James' previous prize pool.
After James recovered some strength, he waved his hand and collected all the resources

into a storage treasure. He was still weak but was grinning happily.
"Huff!" Latrusse took a deep breath and said, "He's too strong. I can't believe he was
hiding such a powerful technique."
Lemuel was equally as shocked as everyone else. He did not expect James to have
defeated his five opponents so easily.
Halianor stroked his white beard and said smilingly, "This kid is talented. Bring him to the
main hall to see me."
After leaving a few words, Halianor walked away.
Yuvin looked at James, who was healing his injuries, for a while. Then, he turned to Thea
and said praisingly, "He's outstanding and will have a bright future. However, the premise
is he doesn't get on the bad side of people he shouldn't."
Thea could tell he was referring to the Yefteros. She was happy to see James win but also
worried about his safety.
The crowd in the auditorium gradually dispersed.

After James recovered enough strength, he left the arena.
While inside the arena, he could not see the outside world. Thus, he was unaware Thea
had come to see him. When he stepped outside, he spotted Thea in the auditorium. He
was slightly surprised to see her but did not approach. Instead, he walked directly to
Latrusse and Lemuel.
James smiled and said, "My good friends, I'll be counting on you guys to help me leave the
Yefteros' territory safely. I might not be able to leave without you two accompanying me.
Through the arena's battles, James won a tremendous amount of resources. It was
impossible for him to leave safely. Even if Latrusse and Lemuel were with him, they were
bound to run into many troublemakers.
Latrusse looked around and noticed the unfriendly gazes. He immediately warned them,
saying, "I brought him here, so I'll ensure he gets out safely. Anyone who dares to stand in
our way will be waging war against the Taeytons."
His voice echoed throughout the auditorium.

The Taeytons were considered a powerful race in the Dark World. Thus, Latrusse's words
had some weight.
"Let’s go." Yuvin looked at Thea.
Thea stood up, cast a final glance at James, then left with Yuvin.
James, Latrusse, and Lemuel stood together.
Clotilde, the person in charge of the place, walked over with a beautiful smile. Then, she
said, "Congratulations, Sir. After this battle, your name will be a household name in the
Dark World. The resources you've acquired will be enough to build a powerful force in the
Dark World."
James smiled lightly in response.
Clotilde continued, saying, "Our Great Elder would like to see you. I’ll lead you to our main
hall."
"He wants to see me?" James frowned.
Lemuel quickly reminded him, "He probably doesn't have good intentions."
Latrusse also advised him, saying, "If you don't want to see him, don't. I doubt the Yefteros
will try anything funny in their own territory."
