Chapter 2228

Yoan shrugged and sighed, “This is out of my control. I didn’t expect the Divinity Sect to admit new

disciples before us.”

Jeffery stepped forward and looked at the new disciples. Obviously displeased, he said, “Look at the

quality of disciples you admitted.”

Jeffery looked around fifty years old and was wearing a yellow robe. Scanning the crowd, he was able

to see through the cultivation base of every cultivator using his Divine Sense.

Then, his gaze was fixed on Melany.

“What the hell? Why is there a cultivator at the Supernatural rank here? What the hell have you been

up to, Sect Elder Yoan? Don’t tell me you’re practicing favoritism now!”

Hearing this, Melany lowered her head and did not dare utter a single word.

Just as Yoan wanted to explain…

“Enough,” the man in the white robe said.

He was the headmaster of the Welkin Academy and one of the strongest individuals in the Ancient

Realm.

He said, “This is not Sect Elder Yoan’s fault.”

Hearing this, Yoan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Headmaster, based on past traditions, we’ll hold

a tournament once the finalists arrive at the academy to determine the top ten rankings. The top ten will

be admitted as the Sect Elders’ disciples, whereas the disciple in the first place will be made an Inner

Disciple. Please give us your orders, Sir.”

Before the headmaster could speak, Jeffery chimed in, “No need for that, Sect Elder Yoan. These are

all leftovers from the Divinity Sect. Even if there are a few talents among them, they are a million light

years away from challenging the Divinity Sect’s disciples. If you ask me, we’ll make them sweep the

courtyard for ten years before making a decision.”

“You…”

Yoan’s face darkened.

The headmaster, on the other hand, had yet to make plans for a tournament. That was because the

disciples this year were comparatively weaker.

He waved slightly and said, “There’ll be no need for a tournament. Sect Elder Yoan, I’ll leave these

disciples to you.”

“Understood.” Yoan reluctantly obeyed. Then, he left alongside the newly-admitted disciples. After

leaving the main hall, he looked at them apologetically and said, “Don’t overthink things. I’ll prepare

your accommodation for now. Soon, disciples will be here to inform you of your tasks.”

“Understood.”

No one dared disobey him.

Then, Yoan took them to another mountain where the disciples would reside. Though they

were only ordinary disciples, each of them was assigned an independent room. This was the Welkin

Academy, after all.

Without the tournament, James was secretly overjoyed.

After all, his objective was to find a place to cultivate. Since he had Sophie as his master, there was no

need for him to seek guidance from elsewhere.

Just as James was sitting in the courtyard all by himself, the door opened, and a glamorous- looking

woman with a curvaceous figure walked in. It was Melany, who greeted James with a smile, “Hey,

James.”

“Mhm.” James nodded.

“I owe you my thanks, James. It’s only because of you that I become a disciple at the Welkin Academy

and make my family proud. Now, my family back in Kineallen City will no longer be intimidated by the

Zaydons anymore.”

James smiled faintly and said, “You’ll have to depend on yourself from now. Cultivate hard and

increase your cultivation base.”

“Mhm, I will.” Melany nodded.
