Chapter 2220

The man was none other than Wendel Yossi, who was sent by Sect Elder Yoan to test James’ strength.

He was currently at the Immortal Ascension’s Third Stair, a rank considered

powerful by many,

Wendel looked at James with a bright smile and said, “You’re in luck, Kid. The Sect Elder has noticed

your strength, and I’ve been sent here to test your cultivation base. If you defeat me, you may advance

directly to the central region and even secure the top ten openings.”

Wendel gave an explanation.

Hearing this, James furrowed his eyebrows. He never expected he would attract the Sect Elder’s

attention. After all, he came here to the Welkin Academy to cultivate in peace. However, this was an

acceptable scenario. By attracting the Sect Elder’s attention, he would be able to become an Inner

Disciple under him. Besides, the Welkin Academy and the Divinity Sect were arch-rivals. Meanwhile,

he had deep grievances against the Divinity Sect. If he obtained the number one spot, he would be

able to become one of the Sect Elder’s Inner Disciples and receive his protection.

“Defeat you?” James looked at Wendel and grinned, “In that case, make your move.”

Seeing this, Melany hurriedly retreated.

Wendel, on the other hand, beckoned for James to make the first move. As a disciple of the Welkin

Academy, he acted gentlemanly and did not make the first move against James, who was only an

examinee, saying, “You have no problem joining the Welkin Academy. By then, I’ll be your senior

disciple. You should make the first move.”

“Haha…” James laughed.

Then, he charged at Wendel with clenched fists at extraordinary speed. In the blink of an eye, he

appeared before Wendel and struck him with all his physical strength.

His physical strength was equivalent to the Immortal Ascension First Stair.

As he struck with his powerful fist, Wendel simply raised his hand to block his attack while wearing a

calm expression on his face.

He could feel a terrifying force spreading throughout his body. Wendel unconsciously staggered

backward as his arm went limp, and the excruciating pain almost made him lose consciousness.

The moment James’ fist struck him, he immediately knew how powerful he was. Although James was

merely an examinee of this examination, he was not to be underestimated.

Wendel gritted his teeth and said, “I guess I underestimated you a little.”

Then, he catalyzed True Energy.

“Eat this!”

After he spoke, he charged at James, who met his attack head-on.

Boom!

Their fists collided, and the battle waves shredded through the air, uprooting trees and shattering rocks

on the ground.

James was immediately sent flying by the powerful energy and smashed against the trees. The

moment Wendel fought seriously, James was immediately at a disadvantage.

At that moment, the Blood Energy inside his body churned, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing this, Yoan Xenocrates who was in the outside world broke into a smile and said, He’s

pretty good, I must say. He was able to withstand Wendel’s blow. He should be at least at the Immortal

Ascension Second Stair or even the Third Stair. Such power at such a young age…. He’ll be a

distinguished cultivator if properly nurtured.”

Yoan was satisfied with James’ performance, who could easily be one of the best examinees in this

examination.

“He’s indeed strong,” Zayn said with a slight hint of displeasure.

His master seemed to have taken an interest in James. If James became Yoan’s Inner Disciple, he

would be cast aside and fall from grace.
