The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2038
Her tone was icy. It lacked emotion, like a robot.
After being briefly stunned, James asked, “Draw my sword? Why?”
With an emotionless face, the woman said indifferently, “If you’ve made it this far, you must be extremely competent, talented,
and excellent in all areas. If you defeat me now, you’ll receive the Celestial Spirit. Once you’ve refined the Celestial Spirit, you’ll
be able to control this Celestial Abode.”
A white light emitted from the woman’s eyes while she spoke. This ray of light fell on James. “Your rank is not high, yet your
physical body is quite strong. This is a bit of a tough call.” The woman furrowed her brow. She was the defender of the last
checkpoint.
She was neither a human nor a living being but was created by humans, much like the Spirit Tool’s shadow.
Simply put, she was an artificial intelligence. In a more basic sense, she was a robot.
Her master programmed her strength to match the rank of the person trying to pass through the checkpoint. If they defeated her,
they would get the Celestial Spirit.
However, while James’ current rank was not high, his physical strength was very powerful.
After giving it some thought, she said, “Right now, your physical strength is comparable to the peak Supernatural Eighth Inner
Gate. How about this? I’ll adjust my strength to the peak Supernatural Eighth Inner Gate. If you defeat me, you’ll be the owner of
this Celestial Abode.”
After hearing that, James let out a sigh of relief. He did not mind the Supernatural Eighth Inner Gate because he could fight
powerful individuals of that rank even before his physical strength improved.
When he heard the woman’s words, he felt as if the Celestial Abode was within his grasp.
With an eager expression, he said, “In that case, don’t mind if I do.”
He gathered his strength, clenched his fist, and struck hard. Since his opponent was a woman, he did not use all of his strength
because he was afraid of injuring her.

The woman remained motionless in the same spot. When James’ attack appeared right in front of her, she raised her hand,
extended her delicate fingers, and gently pointed at James.
From her fingertip, a mystical force appeared.
James’ attack was instantly neutralized. His attack power vanished into thin air, and he was sent flying by a surge of incredibly
powerful force.
Boom!
His body landed hard on the ground.
Even though the impact was powerful, this was the Celestial Abode. The ground was very hard. Even after he fell to the ground,
the stone slabs on the ground were unharmed.
James’ body hit the ground, and the impact left his entire body in excruciating pain.
He got up with difficulty. Looking at the pristine woman in the spotless white dress in front of him, he could not help but clenched
his teeth. “How powerful.”
He admitted that he had underestimated this woman.
“Be careful, lady. I’m going to use my full force now.” James gave a kind reminder.
“Heh.” The woman chuckled.
It would not be so easy to get past her checkpoint.
She put one of her hands behind her back and motioned James to proceed with one hand.
James immediately started to gather all of his strength. True Energy coursed through his body as a powerful force filled his entire
body. His aura was constantly rising. After gathering all of his strength, he attacked once again. 1
The woman’s body mysteriously vanished from where she stood. James immediately lost track of her.
When he finally reacted, his back had already been struck. He was thrown to the ground again, and he could not get up for a
while because the bones in his back were broken.

Demonic Evergy flowed through his body, and the broken bones on his back miraculously healed.
James got up from the ground. With astonishment on his face, he looked at the woman in the flowing white gown and asked,
“You... Are you sure your strength is at the Supernatural Eighth Inner Gate?”
