Chapter 5458

Thea had an outstanding figure. At her cultivation rank, it was possible for her to adjust her

appearance, including her body curves. James was perfectly satisfied with her current figure.

After spending enough time together, James rolled out of bed and left the room.

He stretched his body and was refreshed by the potent power he gained after improving his cultivation

rank.

Thea walked out of the room after recovering her strength to join him and said, “Although my

Tenebrous Body is handy, I don’t think you should rely on it to improve your cultivation rank too often.

You should cultivate and improve the old- school way.

“I know” James chuckled.

At that moment, Zeno returned to the manor.

“Huh?” Zeno immediately noticed James’ cultivation rank had improved and exclaimed surprisedly, “I’ve

only been gone for a few days, but you’ve already made a breakthrough?”

However, he immediately came to a realization after sensing that Thea’s energy was nearly depleted.

He chuckled and said, “Having a partner with a Tenebrous Body sure is great. It sure is worthy of being

called the best physique. I also want to try…”

“Get lost.” James swung his leg at Zeno.

Zeno was knocked away and crashed into the ground. Immediately afterward, he spat out a mouthful of

blood.

“Seriously? I was just joking. You have such a bad temper. You can’t even take a joke,” Zeno walked

over with a dissatisfied expression.

“Joke all you want, but Thea shouldn’t be part of it.” James glared at him. After a while, he changed the

subject and asked, “So, have you gotten any useful information?”

Zeno’s demeanor shifted, and he replied seriously, “Yeah. An ancient beast is indeed in the

Dunhamvale World. However, the place has already been surrounded by powerhouses from the Avenir

Academy. It’s not going to be easy for us to get close.”

“What’s the origin of the Avenir Academy?” asked Thea.

Zeno sat down, wiped the blood from his lips, and replied, ” I’ve asked around and heard the Avenir

Academy is a major force created by a few powerhouses.

It’s one of the strongest forces in the Prison World. The Avenir Academy is pretty strong, but I think we

still have a chance to obtain the ancient beast.”

‘The birth of an ancient beast means that new primitive inscriptions have formed. It’s a great

opportunity we shouldn’t miss.”

Zeno’s eyes filled with desire as he spoke.

James frowned and said, “Didn’t you say powerhouses from the Avenir Academy have already

surrounded the Dunhamvale World? How will we get in?”

“Hehe,” Zeno chuckled and said, “I heard a grand event of the Prison World is being held right now.”

“What kind of event is it?”

Zeno explained, “It’s the Prison World’s Grand Tournament. Most of the Avenir Academy’s

powerhouses should be participating in the tournament. Thus, I assume the guards the Avenir

Academy sent to watch the Dunhamvale World aren’t that strong. At most, they’ll probably only be at

the Holy Celestial Rank’s early stage.”

James said dejectedly, “Even if they are only at the Holy Celestial Rank’s early stage, we don’t have a

chance. I’m only at the Great Celestial Rank’s early stage. Although powerhouses at the Holy Celestial

Rank can’t kill me, I won’t be able to overpower them either.”

“We’ll just have to devise a plan.” Zeno was unwilling to give up. It was unlikely they would ever

stumble upon an ancient beast and brand-new primitive inscriptions again. Therefore, he refused to let

the opportunity just pass them by.

James began to analyze his strength and chances of winning. He was only at the Great Celestial

Rank’s early stage. However, he had the Supremusse Sword and the Tempestencia Completare Art. It

was still possible for him to defeat an ordinary opponent at the Holy Celestial Rank’s early stage unless

he encountered an exceptional powerhouse like Yui. Even if he had ten times the strength he did now,

winning against such a formidable powerhouse like Yui would be impossible.

After thinking about it for a while, James said, “Alright. Let’s give it a shot.”

James was also quite intrigued by the ancient beast and primitive inscriptions.
