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 rtively 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 tomence the following day.


    The winners would directly gain a spot to enter the Pagoda of mes, 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 n’s territory. Quintina was the daughter of the Ancient n’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 exined 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 ate 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


    dy?”


    “Haah.” Quintina sighed.


    “Actually, it’s because of my father’s condition.”


    “What happened to the Ancient n’s leader?”


    Quintina exined, “My father was involved in an ident 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 n’s powerhouses to help suppress the Demonic Energy in his body.”


    Startled, Yoan asked, “Demonic Energy? What exactly happened to him?”
