The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2248
James casually pointed to one of the Ancient Clan’s disciples.
“I choose him.”
After James selected his opponent, those behind him also began choosing theirs in order.
Then, the contest began.
Since James was the first to pick an opponent, the competition began with him versus his chosen opponent.
His opponent was a disciple from the Ancient Clan.
Outside the arena, Quintina looked at Yoan with a bright smile and said, “Sir Yoan, your disciple has a bad eye for opponents.
The person he picked isn’t just some regular guy. He’s the eldest grandson of one of our eldersand had been personally tutored
by the elder since he was a child. Although he’s young, he isn’t weak. He is already at the Immortal Ascension’s Fourth Stair.”
Yoan smiled faintly and said, “Just sit back and wait to be surprised, then. I’m confident in James.”
At that moment, the Ancient Clan disciple drew his sword. He pointed his long sword at James, and Sword Energy rippled
through the air. He looked at James calmly and said, “Draw your sword.”
James smiled faintly.
Since there were plenty of powerhouses in the opposite group, he would have to go against them sooner or later in the
competition. Thus, he wanted to display monstrous strength so these stronger opponents would avoid him and choose someone
else instead.
“I don’t need a sword to fight you.”
“Haha! You’re just being arrogant.”
The Ancient Clan disciple laughed out loud.
Then, extremely powerful energy burst out of his body.
He gripped his sword and charged at James.

James stood in place motionlessly like a tree rooted in the ground.
The long sharp sword zeroed in on his chest. James remained in place and the sword failed to pierce through his body.
“That’s all you got?” James smirked.
“You?”
The Ancient Clan disciple was shocked.
He attacked with all his strength, but he was not able to wound James’ body.
James suddenly released his energy. His body’s physical strength was unleashed, and his opponent’s sword broke as a result.
The Ancient Clan disciple was sent flying and slammed into the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
“He has such potent physical strength.”
“He’s a cultivator that practices body refinement techniques.”
“Jasper Gideon is at the Immortal Ascension’s Fourth Stair yet could not deal any damage despite going all out. How strong is
this guy’s physical body if he can resist the attack?”
Outside the arena, many people from the Ancient Clan were shocked.
Even the Divinity Sect’s leader was stunned. With a solemn expression, he murmured, “I never expected someone to have such
a strong physical body in the Welkin Academy.”
While everyone else sat flabbergasted, only Yoan had a smile on his face.
Quintina looked at Yoan. Her pretty face was astonished as she said, “I wasn’t expecting James to be a cultivator that practices
body refinement techniques. How strong is his physical strength? He must be at least at the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair,
right?”
Yoan smiled proudly, “You’ll know for yourself during the Grand Tournament.”
Without using much strength, James easily defeated his opponent.

Thoryn entered the arena and said, “James is the victor of the first round!”
After speaking, he looked at James and said, “You can head down and rest for now. After all the preliminary matches are over,
we’ll proceed to the second round.”
“Alright.”
James nodded and turned around, walking out of the arena. He came to Yoan’s side and said. smilingly, “Did I tarnish your
reputation, Sir?”
“You did well! Very well.”
Yoan complimented him a few times.
Standing to the side, Quintina gave James a thumbs up and said, “It seems you’re a body refinement cultivator. I underestimated
you.”
James gave her a bashful smile and said, “You’re flattering me.”
