Chapter 2213
James could not care less about a cultivator at the Herculean First Layer. With his current strength, he could easily
annihilate him without resorting to Sacrilegious Ascension.
He grinned mischievously at the man before him.
“Cut the cr*p!”
The man’s face darkened as he swung his sword. Terrifying Sword Light shredded through the air and charged
toward James.
James smiled faintly as he appeared a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye. When the Sword Light made
contact with the ground, the earth rumbled.
A sword appeared in James’ hand. It was the Primordial Dragon Blade that he had kept in the Celestial Abode.
With the sword in hand, he magically appeared before the man. Before the man could react, James’ sword was
already pressed against his neck.

“L…”
His blood ran cold.
He was a Herculean First Layer, which was considered powerful at his age. Now, however, he was defeated in
seconds.
James extended his arm and said coldly, “Come on.”
Frustrated, the man looked at James and pleaded, “I-I’ve learned my mistakes. Please give me
a chance. I’ll be disqualified if you take my token. With my strength, I have the right to become a disciple of the
Welkin Academy.”
James smiled faintly and struck the man’s chest with his palm.
Powerful Palm Energy burst forth and sent the man flying, who collapsed heavily to the ground and vomited a
mouthful of blood.
James appeared before the man and glanced downward at him, saying, “Your token.”
Reluctantly, the man handed his token to James.
After obtaining the token, James turned to leave. Meanwhile, the man who lost his token was forcibly transported

out of the Moonlit Ridge Painting and disqualified.
Once he got his bearings, James pressed forward.
Along the way, he came across many examinees engaging in fierce battles against one another in the hopes of
seizing more tokens for themselves. James knew that the token only determined the preliminary ranking and as
such, was unimportant. The primary objective should be to head to the arena in the central region.
Meanwhile, Melany was surrounded by three men at a place not too far away from James.
“Your token, Miss.”
Surrounded, Melany bit her lips. She knew she would be disqualified once she lost the token.
She had no choice but to become a disciple of the Welkin Academy. Otherwise, her family would be tyrannized by
the Zaydons.
However, the three men before her exuded an aura that was not beneath hers. Besides, she stood no chance
against three people at once.

“p-Please let me go. I really want to be a disciple of the Welkin Academy.”
“Hahaha!” A man roared in laughter, “Who doesn’t want to be a disciple of the Welkin Academy? However, you
need to have certain strengths to do so. So what if you arrive in the central region? With your strength, you won’t
be able to make it to the top thousand.”
“I-I won’t give up! I’ll do my best!” Melany said with determination in her eyes. Then, she brandished her sword and
pointed at her opponents, saying, “Come!”
“Since you have a death wish, don’t blame us for what happens next!”
James was sensing his surroundings as he made his way to the central region. He wanted to look for Melany and
repay his debts. Though he had never seen her, he knew what Melany’s aura felt like.
Just as he was making his way to the central region…
“Huh?”
Sensing a familiar aura, he stopped and gazed into the distance.
Not too far away, a woman was engaged in a fierce battle against a man in a forest. Two other men were also
watching the battle.
