Chapter 4704
James accepted Qasim's challenge, earning a faint smile from the previously somber-
looking Qasim. The latter looked as if his sinister plan had come to fruition.
"James, in the event of your defeat, your path to becoming the Head of Tempris House will
be thwarted," Qasim remarked. His gaze remained locked onto James, expecting a
response from him. Amidst the gathering of numerous powerhouses, Qasim saw an
opportune moment to challenge James in their presence.
"Oh, is that so?" James responded, surprised.
The demand from Qasim caught him off guard. However, as long as Qasim's cultivation
rank remained suppressed at the Permanence Boundless Rank, James found little cause
for concern.
James had transcended the Eternal Boundless Rank long ago and had acquired profound
expertise in the Permanence Boundless Rank during his prior encounters in the Supreme
Illusion. He was confident that he would emerge victorious should he once again cross
paths with Wynona, the Verde Academy's remarkable prodigy.
Furthermore, James had successfully harnessed the formidable Verde Power. Equipped
with this advancement, he was fearless against opponents of equal cultivation rank.
"And what if you lose?" James' curiosity was evident as he directed his gaze at Qasim.

"Lose?" A cold, disdainful chuckle escaped Qasim's lips. " That's ridiculous. Losing is
inconceivable for me."
James' demeanor remained composed as he casually stated, "There are only two
outcomes in every battlevictory or defeat. If I lose, you win. If that happens, I shall
relinquish my position as head. However, tell me, what consequences await you in the
event of your loss? Am I entering into battle without reason?"
"If I lose, I will renounce my role as an elder in the Tactir House and take on the position of
a mountain patroller in the Tempris House."
"Fine," James said with a faint smile.
At that moment, Lothar stepped forward, his voice commanding attention as he declared,
"Since we've come to an agreement, we will now transition to the battle arena."
His gaze carried a touch of regret as he addressed the assembly of powerhouses within
the main hall, his words carrying an apologetic tone. "Ladies and gentlemen, I extend my
apologies for any inconvenience caused. I humbly request your presence in the battle
arena, where you will bear witness to this confrontation."
Those assembled had done so out of respect for the Verde Academy. Apart from Waleria,
the other powerhouses knew little about James. They were intrigued by James' strength
and wanted to uncover the mystery behind his assuming the position as the Head of

Tempris House despite his inferior cultivation rank.
The powerhouses moved to the battle arena. Word of the battle quickly spread throughout
the Verde District. Powerhouses who had been paying attention to the Verde Academy all
knew about it.
Visuals of the battle arena were being disseminated by the Verde Academy across various
universes within the Verde District. The central planets of some universes were even
granted the privilege to partake in a panoramic observation of the events unfolding within
the battle arena.
Qasim stood at the center of the arena. With his hands leisurely tucked behind his back,
his gaze settled upon James.
He said with a mischievous smile, "James, I won't deny your strength as you'd defeated
Wynona. However, it's worth noting that Wynona spent a relatively short time in the
Permanence Boundless Rank-only a few epochs. Even with her cultivating on the
Boundless Rock during those epochs, she isn’t exactly strong. I, on the other hand, have
spent countless eons in the Permanence Boundless Rank."
Facing James, Qasim exuded unshakable confidence. Despite acknowledging James’
formidable strength, Qasim remained certain that he would emerge victorious against
him.

"Is that so?" James responded, a faint smile on his face. " Well then, go ahead and make
your move."
Qasim knew of James' proficiency in the Blithe Omniscience and his incredible
Supernatural abilities.
Raising his hand, Qasim conjured mystic inscriptions within his palm, and they permeated
the surroundings.
Soon, the entire battle arena was enveloped in these enigmatic inscriptions. Qasim's
control covered the whole arena, allowing him to trace James' every move, even if James
were to utilize the Blithe Omniscience.
Observing this, a faint smile formed on James' face. His experiences within the Supreme
Illusion had not only honed his mental resilience but also greatly improved his mastery of
the Blithe Omniscience.
"Show me what you got." James gestured for Qasim to begin, his stance masterful.
"How arrogant." Qasim’s face darkened. He vanished from his previous spot, only to
rematerialize instantly before James. In the span of this sudden transition, a longsword
had manifested within Qasim's grasp, propelling toward James' head with unrelenting
precision.
Qasim did not hold back. His attack was merciless, intending to end James' life in the
battle arena.
