Chapter 4706
"James is undeniably strong.
"Indeed, his youth belies the astonishing power he wields. A truly remarkable feat."
Beyond the battle arena, many powerhouses had gathered. Many of these powerhouses
were renowned figures from all over the Endlos' Nine Districts. They were able to
immediately discern the progression of James’ Cycle of Life. It had grown considerably in a
short amount of time. The attainment of such a cultivation rank so rapidly was nothing
short of extraordinary.
Having departed the battle arena, James reemerged outside its bounds. With a subtle
pivot and a gaze cast back toward Qasim, he reminded, "Recall your promise, to assume
the role of a mountain patroller within the Tempris House."
James' words ignited Quasim’s rage which was on the verge of boiling over. However,
before he could retaliate, Billy, the Head of Tactir House, intervened. "Once an oath is

sworn, you are honor-bound to fulfill it," warned Billy.
"Yes, sir," Qasim acquiesced, biting back his words. Thus, the battle reached its
conclusion.
After the battle ended, many powerhouses gathered within the Tempris House's main hall.
Within those hallowed confines, James carried out the ceremony successfully and affirmed
his ascension as the Tempris House’s official head.
As the ceremony drew to a close, Lothar's gaze alighted upon James. He playfully tapped
James' shoulder. "From today onward, you're the Head of Tempris House. Among the Five
Houses of the Verde Academy, Tempris has eternally stood strong. Dedicate yourself and
endeavor to return the house to its former glory," said Lothar.
With unwavering determination, James pledged, "You have my word, Sir Lothar. I shall do
my best. It’s merely a matter of time until Tempris House reclaims its past magnificence."
In this vow, James asserted his commitment to Lothar, putting the latter’s heart at ease.

After that, many powerhouses departed one after another. Despite the ceremony ending,
a select few powerhouses lingered as per Lothar's orders. Lothar expressed his desire for
them to remain as adjudicators for the upcoming Five Houses Competition within the
Verde Academy. The Five Houses Competition was one of Verdes’ grand events.
The upcoming competition was hardly important to the Tempris house. They only
possessed a meager number of disciples. This relieved James from the duty of
participating in the competition as its current head. With no desire to engage in the Five
Houses Competition, James chose to forego it instead.
In the blink of an eye, the Five Houses Competition arrived. The Verde Academy was abuzz
with excitement, as numerous disciples perceived this event as a chance to ascend. In
stark contrast, the Tempris House was relatively unbothered and calm.
In a manor at the rear mountain's peak, Waleria was studying Saachi’s Dobro Eyes. She
saw the fragmented inscriptions deep within the Dobro Eyes and interpreted them all. She
presented her findings to James.
"It's all here," Waleria said. "These inscriptions are from the deepest part of the Dobro

Eyes. The ones on the left correspond to the left eye, and the ones on the right correspond
to the right eye. See if you can restore them."
He gazed upon the dense and expansive inscription sigils before him, resembling a vast
expanse of stars. James gathered them with a flick of his wrist and smiled. "There's no
need to rush with this matter. Um, Waleria, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
Abruptly, James adopted a courteous demeanor, which caught Waleria off guard.
Unconsciously, she stepped back and remarked, "You can forget the idea of me giving
birth to your son."
She withdrew several meters, her arms crossing protectively. Upon hearing this, Saachi,
who was standing beside them, could not suppress her laughter. James was rendered
speechless. What was going through Waleria's mind? He had simply wanted her to
become an elder at Tempris House. How had it turned into a conversation about having a
son?
"Ahem." He gave a couple of dry coughs.
