Chapter 4648
On the spiritual mountain of Tempris House, James was refining an Acmean Berry to
enhance his bloodline power. Although his personal cultivation rank was not particularly
advanced, his bloodline power was extraordinarily potent, having already reached the
Middle Stage of Caelum Acme Rank. He planned to elevate his bloodline power to the Late
Stage next.
"James," a voice called out from the manor at this moment. James immediately set aside
the Acme grade herb he had yet to fully refine, ceased his cultivation, and stepped
outside.
Outside the courtyard, stood two men. They were the only two male disciples of Tempris
House. They were brothers by the names Yusef Leinde and Westley Leinde. Yusef had a
swollen nose and blackened eyes. His body sported many injuries while Westley supported
him.
"James, you've got to help me out here," Westley said with a mournful expression, his
battered appearance reflecting the distress in his voice. "Disciples from other houses have
been targeting us. Since Tempris House has no disciples of its own, they see us as an easy

target and have come to our doorstep to harass us."
'Tell me the truth," James gave him a skeptical look. He found it hard to believe that
disciples from other houses would deliberately seek trouble. It seemed more likely that
Westley himself had provoked someone and ended up getting into a fight.
Yusef who was supporting Westley, sighed in resignation, " James, here's what happened.
The disciples from the Five Houses of the Verde Academy got wind of a powerhouse's
arrival at Tempris House. This powerhouse apparently plans to challenge the prodigious
talent, Wynona, from the Verde Academy. Other powerhouses from various houses have
gathered with the intention of testing their skills against you. Westley mentioned that you
were meditating in seclusion, but they decided to take matters into their own hands."
"Is that right?" James mused, stroking his chin as he regarded the two brothers. He
contemplated whether their intentions were sincere in standing up for him. "Well then,
let’s go see what's happening." After a moment of consideration, he decided to personally
investigate the situation.

"Just outside the entrance of Tempris House," Westley exclaimed, his excitement evident
as he grasped James' arm and led the way down the mountain. Within moments, they
found themselves standing at the entrance of Tempris House.
Upon reaching the entrance, James was met with a congregation of numerous men and
women, seemingly in their 20s or 30s. Nevertheless, he understood that these individuals
were all powerhouses who had dedicated countless eras to their cultivation. Around a
hundred such powerhouses had gathered at the entrance.
The Leinde brothers gained a renewed sense of assurance in the presence of James. "This
is our junior from Tempris House," Westley declared with newfound confidence." Anyone
seeking to challenge him, step forward individually, or face him collectively."
"Judging by what I’ve observed, in a one-on-one duel, there isn't anyone who can match
him."
The two brothers exchanged confident words, reassured by James' presence. James
scanned the group of around a hundred individuals. Their cultivation bases were
exceedingly advanced, each one was a powerhouse who had attained the Caelum Acme
Rank. Moreover, a few emitted auras of astonishing strength.

"Are you James?" A man stepped forward from the crowd. Dressed in a purple robe, he had
a dashing. As he appraised James, a hint of disdain colored his expression. He remarked,
"You actually have the audacity to challenge Wynona of the Verde Academy solely based
on your skills?
Aren't you being too disrespectful?"
From the side, Westley's voice chimed in, "James, that's a disciple of Zastra House. He's
immensely powerful and is at the Late Stage of the Caelum Acme Rank. Within the Five
Houses of the Verde Academy, he's regarded as a formidable powerhouse."
James nodded imperceptibly, unconcerned by a powerhouse at the Late Stage of the
Caelum Acme Rank for the moment. As long as he did not come across an exceptional
individual who had achieved Boundless at every stage, he remained largely undaunted.
"Well, shall we go together?" James looked out over the assembly of a hundred
powerhouses.
"Let's settle it in the arena," the Zastra House disciple taunted, his patience wearing thin.
"Absolutely." A broad grin appeared on James' face. "I'm not keen on indulging in
meaningless fights. There has to be something at stake to compel me to fight you all."
"Oh?” The disciple from Zastra House gazed at James with a playful smile, asking, "What
treasure can you wager?" James casually summoned the Chaos Sword.
