Chapter 2216

James scrutinized them. However, as their aura was suppressed, he could not figure out their strength.

Regardless, he asked, unafraid, “So what do we have to do?”

“It’s very simple. You just have to withstand three blows. If you don’t think you can do that, take a

detour. However, there are many ferocious beasts in this area. You might lose your life, just saying,” the

disciple spoke.

The others were wearing mischievous grins.

To them, James and Melany were simply children.

“Alright then, understood.” Wearing a composed expression, James asked, “So do you go one by one

or all at once?”

Hearing this, the disciples were stunned.

Then, one of them smiled and said, “Arrogant, aren’t you? In that case, allow me to test your strength.”

Brandishing his sword, he pointed it at James. Shapeless Sword Energy reverberated throughout the

forest, causing the fallen leaves on the ground to swirl in the air.

“Unsheathe your sword, Kiddo.”

The disciple who brandished his sword said, “Regardless of the outcome of your examination, my

name is Xavyer Malachi. Keep that in mind.”

Xavyer introduced himself.

With a calm expression, James said, “I don’t need a sword to defeat you.”

“This is the first time I’ve encountered such an arrogant youngster. Today, I’ll show you true strength of

the Welkin Academy.”

After he spoke he charged at James.

Right then, Melany had retreated to the rear.

James, on the other hand, remained where he stood.

Swish!

Terrifying Sword Energy shredded through the air. Leaping thirty meters into the air, James dodged his

attack with ease.

Boom!

As Sword Energy struck the ground, the earth shook, and a fissure appeared on the ground.

“Not bad…”

Xavyer collected himself before charging at James once more. Before making contact with James,

powerful Sword Energy burst forth from his sword.

Standing in mid-air, James stomped on nothingness. Then, powerful energy gathered at his foot and

charged downward, colliding with the Sword Energy.

Boom!

The two energies collided, and the Sword Energy immediately shattered into pieces.

Sensing a powerful energy hurling toward him from above, Xavyer hurriedly sidestepped and dodged

the attack.

As James’ powerful energy struck the earth, the ground trembled violently, and debris swirled in the air.

“He’s pretty strong.”

“Not bad… I didn’t expect such a powerful guy among the examinees.”

“Xavyer is in deep trouble now.”

Many conversed in whispers at the rear.

The moment James launched his attack, they immediately knew how powerful he was. His strength

might have even surpassed that of Xavyer’s.

Although Xavyer managed to dodge the attack, his arm went limp after energy brushed through his

body. His hand shivered, and his sword almost fell to the ground.

He appeared several meters away and looked at James who was wearing a composed expression.

Then, his face darkened as he murmured, “He’s pretty strong. I might be defeated if I don’t use my full

strength. With everyone here watching, I’ll be humiliated if word of me being defeated by an examinee

spreads.”
