Chapter 2252
The Almighty Dragon General
âAlright.â
Knowing there was still a chance for him, James was delighted.
After the seven people were determined, the other participants would all be relatively weaker. Thus,
James was confident he could win the opportunity.
âIâll head back to rest first, Sir.â
Since James had no matches today, he did not want to loiter around the area needlessly.
Yoan frowned and said, âHow can you go back to rest right now? You should watch the matches and
learn more about your opponents. Itâll be beneficial to your next matches.â âAlright.â James relented.
The remaining matches continued.
Todayâs matches were much faster than the previous day.
In no time, the second round was over. Those who won their second matches chose new opponents
and continued with their next matches.
By nightfall, the top 13 were determined.
Todayâs matches came to an end.
The qualifier matches were to commence the following day.
The winners would directly gain a spot to enter the Pagoda of Flames, whereas the losers would have
to wait for the losers of the previous rounds to challenge them.
At night, James sat in the yard in a lotus position. Intense Empyrean Spiritual Energy surrounded his
body.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching him.
Creak.
The courtyardâs door was pushed open, and a beautiful woman with an excellent figure wearing a blue
dress walked inside. She was about 180 centimeters tall and had a slim figure with a dignified air
around her.
Yoan, who was sitting on a stone chair in the yard, stood up when he saw Quintina walk into their
courtyard. He greeted her, âGood evening, Quintina.â
Although he was an elder and Quintina was a disciple in Welkin Academy, they were within the Ancient
Clanâs territory. Quintina was the daughter of the Ancient Clanâs leader. Thus, he did. not assert his
seniority over her, instead, he was rather respectful to her.
âSir Yoan.â
Quintina walked over and greeted him back. She saw James cultivating on the ground not far away,
and she sensed the strong Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the courtyard. She felt the Empyrean Spiritual
Energy around Jamesâ body about to materialize.
She was slightly surprised.
âThis is really strong Empyrean Spiritual Energy. Even I am unable to amass such strong Empyrean
Spiritual Energy. How is he doing it?â
Quintina was shocked.
She was also a Grand Supernatural with a Supreme Spiritual Root, which gave her a higher affinity
with Empyrean Spiritual Energy. She could gather Empyrean Spiritual Energy much faster than
ordinary cultivators.
However, that which she could not do was now being done by James with ease.
It was inevitable that she would be stunned by him.
Yoan explained with a smile, âItâs because heâs using a cultivation method handed down from the
Primordial Age.â
Quintina was envious of James. She said, âHe must be really lucky to have obtained a cultivation
method from the Primordial Age.â
âBy the way, what brings you here at such a late hour?â asked Yoan.
Quintina replied, âOh, right. Elder Thoryn asked me to inform you that tomorrowâs matches. will be
postponed.â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Hearing this, Yoan was slightly taken aback. He asked, âEverything was going well. Why the sudden
delay?â
âHaah.â Quintina sighed.
âActually, itâs because of my fatherâs condition.â
âWhat happened to the Ancient Clanâs leader?â
Quintina explained, âMy father was involved in an accident years ago. This is why he has been
meditating in seclusion in recent years. His condition has deteriorated again. Elder Thoryn has
summoned some of our clanâs powerhouses to help suppress the Demonic Energy in his body.â
Startled, Yoan asked, âDemonic Energy? What exactly happened to him?â
