Chapter 5189

After all, the Headmaster of the Dieux Academy only reached the peak of Great Celestial Rank.

However, this was James’ understanding based on his knowledge from his previous life. After

countless ages had passed, the Headmaster of the Dieux

Academy might have already broken through to the Martial Celestial Rank.

They were all astonished while acknowledging that Aurelius was at the Petit Celestial Rank. They

wondered how they could secure first place if even a Petit Celestial Rank powerhouse was taking part

in the discipleship assessment.

“Forget about the first place,” James said. “Being selected by the Dieux Academy as their disciples is

good enough.”

Gaius glanced at James and asked, “Forty-nine, can you honestly say that you can compete with a

Petit Celestial Rank powerhouse given your current strength?”

James was currently at the early stage of Sovereign Third Rank, a realm far inferior to the Petit

Celestial Rank. In theory, it was nearly impossible for a living being to leap several realms and be

victorious in battle.

However, James was a mystery, which piqued Gaius’ curiosity. King Marciais, Gurgen, and Taran also

focused their attention on James.

James replied, “I should be able to hold my own in a battle if I were to go all out, but I can’t do it here

due to the many restrictions in the Central Plane. Many of my signature martial art skills cannot be

employed.”

Upon hearing James’ response, everyone took a deep breath. It was terrified that an early stage of

Sovereign Third Rank powerhouse could contend with a

Petit Celestial Rank powerhouse. James looked at their shocked companions and smiled, without

offering further explanation.

They obediently stood in line. After several hundred years in the queue, they finally entered the

universe where the Dieux Academy was located.

The universe was vast, and for the recruitment of new disciples, the Dieux Academy had created a

planet for the candidates to reside. However, most of these candidates came from minor planes. Those

from major planes with status and backgrounds did not live on this planet but resided in more

prosperous ones.

This planet was enormous, filled with countless spiritual mountains and lands, each housing a building.

James and the others had been arranged to stay in one of these accommodations.

‘That’s excessive,” King Marciais said. “Every living being on this planet is here for the disciple

assessment. The Dieux Academy can’t take in that many disciples even if it is incredibly powerful.

Achieving recognition and becoming a disciple is already remarkable.”

‘This is the terrifying aspect of the Dieux Academy,” James explained. “Even some powerhouses wish

to join and cultivate within this academy for a certain duration. Over time, this has contributed to the

Dieux Academy’s unparalleled network of connections.”

Gurgen leaned back in his chair, hands cradling his head, and said, ‘Trying to get first place is too

difficult. I wonder if any Great Celestial Ranks will participate. It would be interesting if they joined the

assessment.”

James said, “It’s highly unlikely for anyone at the Great Celestial Rank to attend.

The Dieux Academy would extend respect to the Great Celestial Rank powerhouses, and they wouldn’t

be required to participate in the assessment. In fact, they might hold the position of an elder within the

academy. The same principle applies to those at the Petit Celestial Rank. However, occasionally, some

Petit Celestial Ranks participate in the assessment just for fun.”

“Rest well, guys. I’m going out for a walk,” James said as he stood up.

Since a considerable amount of time had passed since his previous life, he did not know the current

state of the

Central Plane and the countless planes. He wondered which powerhouses had emerged after his

death. He needed to seize this opportunity to gather information.
