Chapter 2284

Being watched by everyone, Hayden felt completely humiliated after apologizing.

He quickly turned around and left, no longer bothering with Yitzchok.

James’ goal was also accomplished. He walked toward Melany and said smilingly, “Alright.

Everything’s settled. Let’s go.”

“You got hurt, James…”

Melany wore a worried expression.

James smiled faintly and said, “It’s no big deal.”

Quintina also walked over and took a look at James. She saw him in a new light.

“Very well, James. So, you’ve been hiding your true strength, and here I was worrying about you.”

Many people were watching them.

Hearing their conversation, a commotion burst out in the audience.

Quintina felt like she had said something inappropriate and immediately said, “Since you’re fine, I’ll take

my leave first.”

After speaking, she hurried off.

“They’re acquainted.”

“It seems our goddess, Quintina, has known James for some time.”

“Yeah. It looks like they’re pretty close.”

Many people discussed them.

Meanwhile, James quickly pulled Melany away from the United Alliance’s mountain and returned to

Melany’s accommodation.

After returning to her accommodation, Melany looked at James with wide-open eyes. With a faint smile,

she said, “James, I didn’t expect you to have become so strong in just half a year. You even withstood

three blows from Hayden.

“Hayden is at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair.

“After this fight, you’ll become a star in the Welkin Academy.”

James smiled faintly.

He took out the Energy Enhancement Elixir he got from Yoan and handed it to Melany, saying, “This is

an Energy Enhancement Elixir that Sir Yoan gave me. It isn’t useful to me, so you can have it.”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing it was an Energy Enhancement Elixir, Melany was shocked

She refused him, saying, “No, I can’t accept this. It’s too valuable for me to accept, James.”

James forcibly stuffed it into Melany’s hands

“Even though you’re in the Welkin Academy, it’s still a place where the strong will suppress the weak. If

you don’t want to be bullied, you have to practice hard and improve your strength.

“Thank you, James,” Melainey sincerely expressed her gratitude.

James smiled and said, “I’ll head back first. I’m staying on Sir Yoan’s mountain, not here. You can go

there to look for me if you need me for anything.

“Mhm.” Melany nodded.

James did not linger any longer. He got up and left Melany’s accommodation.

After he left, Melany tightly clenched the elixir in her hand, and her pretty face had a hint of sorrow

“James is so powerful now. Even if I had more elixirs, I wouldn’t ever be able to keep up with him. He

and I are destined to be people from two different worlds. It won’t take long for him to become the most

dazzling person in the Ancient Realm

“And me, what am I?

“I’m the most beautiful woman in Kineallen City.

“However, my beauty isn’t going to get me anywhere in the Welkin Academy. Quintina is so much

better than me in every aspect,” Melany murmured to herself.

James returned to Yoan’s mountain.

When he reached, Yoan showed up.

James called out respectfully, “Sir.”

Yoan said smilingly, “I didn’t expect your physical strength to have improved so much after entering the

Ancient Clan’s Pagoda of Flames. You were even capable of taking three hits from Hayden. With your

current physical strength, it’ll be a piece of cake for you to achieve good results in the Grand

Tournament.”

James smiled.

“By the way, what’s your current cultivation rank?” asked Yoan.

James replied truthfully, “I’m only at the Immortal Ascension’s Second Stair.”

“You’re only at the Immortal Ascension’s Second Stair?”

Hearing this, Yoan had a look of disappointment.

Then, he smiled bitterly and said, “The Immortal Ascension’s Second Stair is already considered a very

fast improvement. You’ve surpassed even prodigies. However, seeing you take three hits from Hayden,

I expected you to have reached a higher rank.”

James said with a smile, “There are still a few more months before the Grand Tournament. In these few

months, I’ll definitely reach the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair.”

He was full of confidence.
