After all, the Headmaster of the Dieux Academy only reached the peak of Great Celestial Rank.
However, this was James’ understanding based on his knowledge from his previous life. After countless ages had passed, the
Headmaster of the Dieux
Academy might have already broken through to the Martial Celestial Rank.
They were all astonished while acknowledging that Aurelius was at the Petit Celestial Rank. They wondered how they could
secure first place if even a Petit Celestial Rank powerhouse was taking part in the discipleship assessment.
“Forget about the first place,” James said. “Being selected by the Dieux Academy as their disciples is good enough.”
Gaius glanced at James and asked, “Forty-nine, can you honestly say that you can compete with a Petit Celestial Rank
powerhouse given your current strength?”
James was currently at the early stage of Sovereign Third Rank, a realm far inferior to the Petit Celestial Rank. In theory, it was
nearly impossible for a living being to leap several realms and be victorious in battle.
However, James was a mystery, which piqued Gaius’ curiosity. King Marciais, Gurgen, and Taran also focused their attention on
James.
James replied, “I should be able to hold my own in a battle if I were to go all out, but I can’t do it here due to the many restrictions
in the Central Plane. Many of my signature martial art skills cannot be employed.”
Upon hearing James’ response, everyone took a deep breath. It was terrified that an early stage of Sovereign Third Rank
powerhouse could contend with a
Petit Celestial Rank powerhouse. James looked at their shocked companions and smiled, without offering further explanation.
They obediently stood in line. After several hundred years in the queue, they finally entered the universe where the Dieux
Academy was located.
The universe was vast, and for the recruitment of new disciples, the Dieux Academy had created a planet for the candidates to
reside. However, most of these candidates came from minor planes. Those from major planes with status and backgrounds did
not live on this planet but resided in more prosperous ones.
This planet was enormous, filled with countless spiritual mountains and lands, each housing a building. James and the others
had been arranged to stay in one of these accommodations.
‘That’s excessive,” King Marciais said. “Every living being on this planet is here for the disciple assessment. The Dieux Academy
can’t take in that many disciples even if it is incredibly powerful. Achieving recognition and becoming a disciple is already
remarkable.”
‘This is the terrifying aspect of the Dieux Academy,” James explained. “Even some powerhouses wish to join and cultivate within
this academy for a certain duration. Over time, this has contributed to the Dieux Academy’s unparalleled network of
connections.”
Gurgen leaned back in his chair, hands cradling his head, and said, ‘Trying to get first place is too difficult. I wonder if any Great
Celestial Ranks will participate. It would be interesting if they joined the assessment.”
James said, “It’s highly unlikely for anyone at the Great Celestial Rank to attend.
The Dieux Academy would extend respect to the Great Celestial Rank powerhouses, and they wouldn’t be required to participate
in the assessment. In fact, they might hold the position of an elder within the academy. The same principle applies to those at the
Petit Celestial Rank. However, occasionally, some Petit Celestial Ranks participate in the assessment just for fun.”
“Rest well, guys. I’m going out for a walk,” James said as he stood up.
Since a considerable amount of time had passed since his previous life, he did not know the current state of the
Central Plane and the countless planes. He wondered which powerhouses had emerged after his death. He needed to seize this
opportunity to gather information.
