Chapter 2225
James’ opponents were specially arranged by Yoan, who was curious to see if he could emerge victorious with someone
dragging him down. He was intrigued by James’ true strength. That was because he could easily see through any other cultivator
out there. Yet, the opposite was true for James.
At that moment, the examinees hurriedly dispersed.
Meanwhile, James remained at the center.
Scanning his surroundings, he looked at Melany and ordered her, “Stay close, and don’t move around by yourself. If you fall out
of the arena, you’ll lose the right to enter the academy.”
“I will.” Melany nodded.
James was her final hope. Without his protection, she would be able to join the Welkin Academy.
In the arena, everyone was on high alert, frantically searching for the weaker ones to knock them out of the battle.
James, on the other hand, could not care less as he possessed extraordinary strength. The only thing he needed to do was to
knock the others out and end the battle as soon as possible.
Spotting a group of cultivators on his left from the corner of his eye, he smiled faintly and said, “Stay in the middle. I’ll go wipe our
opponents out.”
After he spoke, he appeared before a cultivator in the blink of an eye. He was so fast that the cultivator could not react in time.
He could only feel an overwhelming wave of True Energy slamming into his chest. Unable to withstand the great force, he was
sent flying out of the arena and collapsed to the ground, losing the right to continue.
James struck with lightning speed.
In just a few short seconds, he knocked a dozen cultivators out with ease.
At that moment, someone screamed, “James!”
James turned his head. Realizing that Melany was sent flying by a powerful force, he summoned all his strength and flew toward
her. Before she flew out of the arena, he managed to embrace her in his arms.
Someone appeared in mid-air. Holding a sword in his hand, terrifying Sword Energy burst forth. Sensing the looming threat,
powerful True Energy gathered in James’ palm, forming a hurricane that stopped the Sword Energy in its tracks.
At the same time, the hurricane shredded through the air and hurled toward the ambusher. After being struck by the hurricane,
the man plummeted from the sky and collapsed heavily to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood. Then, he lay there
motionless.
Knowing that he could potentially lose his life, the man endured the excruciating pain and stood up with great difficulty. Then, he
hurriedly made his way to the periphery of the arena to avoid battle.
However, many examinees had been looking for the weaker ones to knock them out of the fight. Seeing an injured person, they
hurriedly rushed over to him and knocked him out of the arena.
James landed steadily on the ground.
Melany, however, was injured. Blood trickled down her lips, and her face was pale. The moment James released his grip, she
collapsed to the ground.
James immediately helped her up.
“Are you alright?” he asked.
