The Almighty Dragon General

“Let’s fight at the mountain range outside the city.”
Woodson flew toward the mountain range in the distance and appeared on its peak in a flash.
James followed him without hesitation and stopped on another mountain.
The two stood on opposite mountains and locked eyes.
James crossed his hands behind his back and calmly looked at Woodson. It was evident he did not expect much from his
opponent.
Meanwhile, Woodson gave him an intense glare.
James took part in the Third Stage Divine Rank test and won a spot to inspect the Sacred Blossom. For him to stand out against
more than a billion geniuses meant that he was indeed an outstanding cultivator.
Even so, Woodson was not afraid. He had full confidence in his strength.
He was only worried about the Five Great Paths’ Ousias that James had recently acquired.
The Five Great Paths were extraordinary, and he was unsure if he could withstand their power.
Woodson said, “I’d like to set a few rules in this battle, James.”
James gestured for him to continue. “Go on, I’m listening.”
Woodson stated. “You’re not allowed to use the Five Great Paths’ Ousias, nor can you use the Five Great Path’s Power.”
A crowd had gathered around them to watch the fight.
Hearing his statement, many of them burst out laughing.
“Woodson’s a strange one for sure. He wants to defeat James to make a name for himself but is afraid of the might of the Five
Great Paths.”
“He’s clearly trying to take advantage of James.”

“Yeah. James already cultivated the Five Great Paths’ Ousias, and it’s one of his techniques for combat. Why isn’t he allowed to
use them? If he’s not allowed to use his techniques, then wouldn’t this battle be unfair?”
Hearing everyone’s disdainful comments, Woodson’s face burned with embarrassment.
However, he could not care less since he had already stated his terms.
Woodson asked. “Do you accept this condition?”
“Sure, why not?”
James smirked. “I’m not after a one-sided battle anyway. I’m fine with whatever rules you want. Would you like any other rules?
Go ahead and tell me all your terms in one go.”
Woodson replied. “I have one more condition. You can’t use the Ancestral Sword Master’s weapon, the Crepe Myrtle Divine
Sword, either.”
“Okay.” James agreed and asked. “Is there anything else?”
“No,” said Woodson.
“If there’s nothing else, then may the best man win.”
James smiled brightly.
On the other hand, Woodson had a solemn look. The battle was very crucial to him. His intention was just as the bystanders
suggested.
James had displayed great potential. With time, he would certainly become one of the greatest with the Five Great Paths’ Ousias
in his possession.
Woodson wanted to defeat James before he could grow stronger. He aimed to take advantage of James’ current fame to boost
his reputation.
James was still relatively unknown at the moment. Once he became a famous figure, his past would be unearthed to all. Then,
the world would learn of how he had won against James on this day.

Woodson unleashed his full strength, and concentrated energy erupted from him.
He had four Ousias, each representing a different Path and Power.
The four different forces merged and formed a spectacular force, which caused his sleeves to flutter wildly.
James remained calm. He casually waved his hand, and a branch flew into his hand from a distance.
He grabbed the branch and pointed it at Woodson on the opposite mountain.
“Come at me.”
James’ voice resounded throughout the area.
Woodson said, “Since I’ve set some conditions, this battle is highly unfavorable to you, so I’ll let you make the first ten moves.”
“Haha.” James chuckled lightly.
‘He wants to let me have ten moves? The battle would end before he even has a chance to make his first move,’ thought James.
