Chapter 2214

The woman was losing ground. Blood trickled down the wound on her arm and stained her white dress.

Regardless, she fought on, unwilling to yield.

“Is that Melany?”

James stood in mid-air and watched the battle below.

The woman’s aura felt familiar. Without the slightest hesitation, he descended from the sky and landed

steadily on the ground, yelling, “Stop right there!’

His voice boomed.

Hearing this, Melany and her opponent turned to look at James. When she saw him, Melany was

dumbfounded.

“Isn’t that…”

Meanwhile, her opponent stared at James. Sensing his unusual aura, he threatened, “This is none of

your concern! Stay out of this.”

James paid no heed to him and walked toward Melany.

The gorgeous woman before him had fine and delicate features. However, she was currently in a

wretched state. Her arm was wounded, and her dress was blood-stained.

Unsure of her identity, James asked, “Melany Yanis?”

“Wh-Why are you here?” Melany immediately recognized James. This was the man whom she saved.

“It really is you.” Hearing the familiar voice, James was now certain that the woman before him was

Melany.

“You have a death wish!”

Swish!

The man behind them cursed and swung his sword, summoning a wave of Sword Energy that

shredded through the air.

“Watch out!” Melany cried out.

However, James grabbed her hand and dodged the Sword Energy with ease. Then, in the next instant,

he appeared a hundred meters away, put Melany down, and charged toward the man who ambushed

them.

His speed was so extraordinary that no one could see his movements. In the blink of an eye, the man

was struck and sent flying before collapsing heavily to the ground.

James walked over to him and said, “Your token, please.”

The man was frustrated. However, faced with James, he was powerless. So, he obeyed his command.

Upon seeing this, his comrades ditched him behind and hurriedly fled.

James did not give chase. With the token in hand, he walked toward Melany.

She looked at him in surprise. “Y-Your injuries…”

She knew that James suffered grave injuries. However, he was completely rejuvenated in a few short

days. She also did not expect that James would be this powerful, defeating those who backed her to a

corner with ease.

James nodded and said, “They are almost recovered. Speaking of which, I owe you my My injuries

wouldn’t have recovered this quickly if not for your care.”

“Why are you here at the Welkin Academy’s examination?”

Melany asked.

James said smilingly, “Well, I came here in a hurry after learning that you are here as well. Besides, as

I don’t have any place to go, I wanted to find a place to cultivate. As the Welkin Academy sounds like a

pretty nice place, I came here for the examination.”

Then, he glanced at Melany. Based on the battle a moment ago, he knew that she was only around the

Supernatural’s Seventh Inner Gate. She would not be able to join the Welkin Academy with such

strength.

“Since you saved my life, I have to repay you in some way. Do you really want to join the Welkin

Academy?” he asked.

“Yes.” Melany nodded.

James promised her, “I’ll lend you a helping hand and escort you to the arena in the central region.

However, I won’t be able to help you during the battle afterward.”

“Thank you.”

Melany was thankful for James’ help.
