Chapter 4663

Wael turned to James, grabbed him, and left the area.

Although the two were out of sight, Wael’s voice resounded in the area.

“James shall challenge the trials three days later.”

The two returned to James’ residence in Tempris House.

James inquired, “What are the three trials?”

Wael explained, “The founder of the Verde Academy created some illusions. Initially, it was our custom

for the next head of each house to go through these trials. However, we gradually stopped practicing it.

The retiring head would eventually choose the next head. The illusions would only be utilized when

most authorities oppose the chosen candidate.”

“What are the illusions like?” James asked curiously.

Wael shook his head lightly and replied, “Nobody knows what the illusion is precisely. Everyone

experiences a different illusion. Moreover…”

“Yeah?” James urged him to continue.

Wael explained, “The Verde Academy’s sacred scroll is placed at the end of the third illusion. You must

enter the illusion and pass the third trial to read the sacred scroll. If you fail to succeed in the trial,

you’re not qualified to read it.”

“Is that so?” James rubbed his chin pensively. He murmured, “Looks like I’ll have to challenge the

trials.”

Then, he asked, “Is there anything I should be careful of while in the illusion?”

Wael shook his head lightly and said, “There’s nothing much to pay attention to. After entering the

illusion, everything is up to your fate. But, in theory, the higher one’s cultivation, the greater the

chances of passing through the trials.”

James asked, ‘Then how many in the Verde Academy have successfully passed the trials in the past?”

“Quite a lot. Almost all the current heads have challenged and passed the trials. I’ve passed the trials

before as well. However, I’ve been corrupted by an Inner Demon after a past incident and won’t be able

to pass the trials anymore.”

Wael explained some things about the trials.

However, the information was useless because the illusion every challenger would experience was

different, and the trials they had to go through varied.

‘You just went through a battle and should rest immediately. You’ll challenge the Supreme Illusions

three days later.”

Wael left after leaving a few words.

Afterward, James stayed in his residence’s yard. He took out an Acmean Herb and began to refine it

and heal his wounds.

Although the injuries from the previous battle were not fatal, he had to recuperate to challenge the

Supreme Illusions in his peak condition.

James began to recuperate in the foundation.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Wael appeared on time and brought James to the Verde Academy.

Many powerhouses and core members from the Verde Academy’s Five Houses gathered in the back

mountain.

Wael and James arrived punctually under the countless gazes.

James scanned the area and saw a bright portal at the mountaintop. A huge crowd gathered around it,

awaiting their arrival.

Wael led James to the portal and asked, “Are you ready?”

James nodded lightly and replied, “Absolutely.”

Lothar took out a token and handed it to him, saying, ‘Take this. If you want to give up during the trial,

pour your power into this token. It’ll teleport you out of the illusion.

Remember that the illusions are very dangerous, and you might lose your life.”

“Alright.” James took the token and entered the portal, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
