The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2226
However, almost immediately, a group of cultivators approached them.
“Get lost!”
James’ face darkened as he exuded a terrifying aura. Then, he waved his arm, summoning a hurricane with his True Energy.
Seeing this, the cultivators hurriedly staggered backward.
After learning of James’ strength, no one dared approach him.
Melany sat on the ground, her face pale. With great difficulty, she said, “I’m injured, James. Just leave me be. I don’t want to drag
you down. If you’re disqualified because of me, I’ll feel guilty for a lifetime.”
James smiled faintly and said, “Since I made a promise, I’ll keep my word. I’ll definitely make you a disciple of the Welkin
Academy.”
Then, he raised his arm, and a steel wire fell from his sleeves, which transformed into many silver needles. Holding Crucifier in
his hand, he treated Melany’s injuries. Soon, her injuries were healed.
“What is this?” She was stunned.
James smiled faintly and said nothing, storing Crucifier away.
Melany stood up with a shocked look on her face. Though she was injured just a moment ago, her injuries had completely
healed. Whatever James used to heal her was more effective than elixirs.
The Primordial Dragon Blade materialized in James’ hand. Holding the sword in one hand and grabbing Melany’s arm with
another, he observed the chaotic arena.
Then, he moved at lightning speed around the area, slashing with the Primordial Dragon Blade. As powerful Sword Energy burst
forth, the nearby cultivators all staggered backward. After watching the battle that unfolded in the arena, Zayn Bridger said,
“Master, it appears that your arrangements did not work as intended. The cultivators at the Immortal Ascension avoided fighting
directly against James. Meanwhile, no one else could stand a chance against James.”
Yoan watched the arena and murmured, “To think he’s able to demonstrate such strength when someone is dragging him
down... He’s a rare talent indeed.”

“I disagree.” Displeased, Zayn said, “He is at most at the Immortal Ascension’s Third Stair, just like Wendel. There were many
other disciples with a similar strength who were admitted to the academy in the previous examinations.”
“Indeed...” Yoan said, “I wouldn’t have taken an interest in him in the past. Perhaps I may have gotten my hopes up after the
talents have flocked to the Divinity Sect.”
After he spoke, he sighed.
The examinees in the current examination were simply too weak. Ten years ago, cultivators at the Immortal Ascension’s Third
Stair would only be able to become normal disciples. Back then, the top ten was comprised of at least the Fifth Stair and above.
Meanwhile, the cultivator at the first place was at Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair. He had reached the peak of the
Ninth Stair and had gone to Earth for the providence.
In the arena, with the Primordial Dragon Blade in hand and Melany by his side, James used his physical strength and True
Energy to defeat every opponent that stood in their path.
Similarly, the other cultivators at the Immortal Ascension were knocking out the weaker ones from the arena.
Soon, only ten remained.
Seeing this, James sheathed his sword.
At that moment, Yoan entered the arena and looked at them, saying smilingly, Congratulations on becoming disciples of the
Welkin Academy. Please rest for now.”
Hearing this, Melany could not believe her ears.
“A-Am I now a disciple of the Welkin Academy?”
It felt like a dream to her.
“Come on, let’s get going,” James said.
Hearing this, Melany collected herself and thanked him, “Thank you very much, James.”
James said smilingly, “Well, you saved my life, after all.
