Chapter 2294
The deafening roar of monsters reverberated throughout the mountains.
“I-Is this Mount Walvern?” Henry glanced at the mountain range before him and looked at James, saying, “We should be able to
enter the top three, right?”
James smiled faintly and said, “Unless something unexpected comes up, we should be able to enter the top three.”
He was confident in Henry, Delainey, and his own strength.
Putting aside the fact that Delainey was at the Mage Rank, Henry was at the Immortal Ascension’s Ninth Stair, making him one
of the highest-ranked cultivators present. Besides, James’ physical strength was at the middle stage of Immortal Ascension’s
Eighth Stair, making him comparable to Henry in strength. Not only that, but he also had many ultimate moves hidden up his
sleeves. By working together, they should be able to annihilate even monsters in the Mage Rank.
After all, who else would be capable of accomplishing such a feat? That was why James was fully assured that they would be
able to make it into the top three.
After leaving the void passage, many began searching for their partners. “James.”
A voice came from behind.
James turned his head and saw Quintina standing behind him.
With a smile, he greeted her, “Hey, Quintina.”
Quintina walked over to him and glanced at Henry and Delainey, asking, “Are they your teammates?”
“Yes.”
James nodded.
At that moment, a group of people approached them.
They were disciples of the Welkin Academy. Apart from Zayn Bridger, a disciple of Yoan, James could not recognize anyone
else.
“Quintina.”
The man in the lead called.
Wearing a white robe on which the words ‘Welkin Academy’ were written, the man had a somewhat handsome-looking
appearance. Not only that, but he was also suave and elegant.
Quintina introduced the man to James, “This is my senior and an Inner Disciple of the headmaster. Though he’s young, he’s
already at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair. He’s currently the tournament’s top contender.”
“Eighth Stair?”
James froze momentarily.
He never thought the Welkin Academy would have a cultivator at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair.
“Mhm.”
Quintina said, “Yunus possesses great strength. He’ll surely make the academy proud.”
“You must be James Caden, a disciple of Sect Elder Yoan.” Yunus’ gaze was fixed on James. Then, he said smilingly, “I’ve heard
of your deeds while I was in closed-door meditation. Since you managed to withstand Hayden’s blows, I guess you aren’t that
weak. Why don’t you join my team? With me, you, and Quintina, we’ll definitely make it into the top ten.”
Yunus Lucca was an Inner Disciple of the headmaster. As such, he was arrogant and vain. Though there were more than twenty
disciples from the Welkin Academy participating in the Grand Tournament, he only chose Quintina and James to be his
teammates.
Hearing this, the others instantly panicked.
“Yunus, the headmaster ordered us to form a group.’
“That’s right! You can’t invite only Quintina and James!”
The others said.
Without Yunus in their team, they would stand no chance against the powerful monsters.
James looked at Yunus and smiled faintly, saying, “Yunus, since I already have a team of own, I have no choice but to turn down
your offer.”
Saying that, he looked at Quintina.
“Quintina, do you want to join my team or Yunus’?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, even Yunus.
Yunus was at the Immortal Ascension’s Eighth Stair. With him in the team, they would be able to enter the top ten easily.
Now, however, James had turned down his offer.
“Hmph!”
Since James had rejected him, he only smiled faintly and said, “In that case, I wish you the best of luck.”
Saying that, he looked at Quintina and asked, “So, what’s your decision?”
