The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 2252
“Alright.”
Knowing there was still a chance for him, James was delighted.
After the seven people were determined, the other participants would all be relatively weaker. Thus, James was confident he
could win the opportunity.
“I’ll head back to rest first, Sir.”
Since James had no matches today, he did not want to loiter around the area needlessly.
Yoan frowned and said, “How can you go back to rest right now? You should watch the matches and learn more about your
opponents. It’ll be beneficial to your next matches.” “Alright.” James relented.
The remaining matches continued.
Today’s matches were much faster than the previous day.
In no time, the second round was over. Those who won their second matches chose new opponents and continued with their
next matches.
By nightfall, the top 13 were determined.
Today’s matches came to an end.
The qualifier matches were to commence the following day.
The winners would directly gain a spot to enter the Pagoda of Flames, whereas the losers would have to wait for the losers of the
previous rounds to challenge them.
At night, James sat in the yard in a lotus position. Intense Empyrean Spiritual Energy surrounded his body.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching him.
Creak.

The courtyard’s door was pushed open, and a beautiful woman with an excellent figure wearing a blue dress walked inside. She
was about 180 centimeters tall and had a slim figure with a dignified air around her.
Yoan, who was sitting on a stone chair in the yard, stood up when he saw Quintina walk into their courtyard. He greeted her,
“Good evening, Quintina.”
Although he was an elder and Quintina was a disciple in Welkin Academy, they were within the Ancient Clan’s territory. Quintina
was the daughter of the Ancient Clan’s leader. Thus, he did. not assert his seniority over her, instead, he was rather respectful to
her.
“Sir Yoan.”
Quintina walked over and greeted him back. She saw James cultivating on the ground not far away, and she sensed the strong
Empyrean Spiritual Energy in the courtyard. She felt the Empyrean Spiritual Energy around James’ body about to materialize.
She was slightly surprised.
“This is really strong Empyrean Spiritual Energy. Even I am unable to amass such strong Empyrean Spiritual Energy. How is he
doing it?”
Quintina was shocked.
She was also a Grand Supernatural with a Supreme Spiritual Root, which gave her a higher affinity with Empyrean Spiritual
Energy. She could gather Empyrean Spiritual Energy much faster than ordinary cultivators.
However, that which she could not do was now being done by James with ease.
It was inevitable that she would be stunned by him.
Yoan explained with a smile, “It’s because he’s using a cultivation method handed down from the Primordial Age.”
Quintina was envious of James. She said, “He must be really lucky to have obtained a cultivation method from the Primordial
Age.”
“By the way, what brings you here at such a late hour?” asked Yoan.
Quintina replied, “Oh, right. Elder Thoryn asked me to inform you that tomorrow’s matches. will be postponed.”

“What’s wrong?”
Hearing this, Yoan was slightly taken aback. He asked, “Everything was going well. Why the sudden delay?”
“Haah.” Quintina sighed.
“Actually, it’s because of my father’s condition.”
“What happened to the Ancient Clan’s leader?”
Quintina explained, “My father was involved in an accident years ago. This is why he has been meditating in seclusion in recent
years. His condition has deteriorated again. Elder Thoryn has summoned some of our clan’s powerhouses to help suppress the
Demonic Energy in his body.”
Startled, Yoan asked, “Demonic Energy? What exactly happened to him?”
