The Almighty Dragon General

Drenched heavily in sweat, James gasped for air. Still, he felt a sense of joy and exhilaration in him.
Ever since he had arrived at the Endlos, he was oftentimes forced to face opponents or cultivators who were way stronger than
him. He was always trying to look for ways to avoid battling them as he had no wish to foolishly challenge
them.
James never had a chance to engage in a proper fight all this time. Finally, he got to face Wynona, who was an equal match to
him in many aspects.
Til use this opportunity to assess the results of my training and cultivation.’ James thought.
While most of the people assumed that James had clearly been defeated at that point, they began to notice the wounds on his
body were curiously healing again, including the huge, bloody hole on his abdomen.
“You’re truly a worthy opponent. I should also get serious
then, ” he muttered.
As the new muscles on James’ abdomen had finished forming, James straightened himself and directed his gaze at Wynona.
Then, he activated the Thousand Paths Holy Body.
The audience instantly felt a drastic change in the air. Almost everyone could sense how the Path Energies existing around them
were all flowing toward James rapidly. At that moment, James’ body appeared to be in full sync with his surroundings as he
began absorbing an immense amount of energy.
“W... What?!” Quite a number of cultivators got up whilst staring at James.
‘The Thousand Paths Holy Body?!”
“He possesses and has even awakened the Thousand Paths Holy Body?! With that ability, he could increase almost any Path
Power multiplefold!”
Most of the audience was shocked to see the battle’s current development.
After he had stopped suppressing the powers of the Thousand Paths Holy Body, James began to absorb the Path Powers into
his body. As it instantly rejuvenated him, the aura emanating from his body grew substantially as well.

A deep frown creased Wynona’s forehead. She had never come across any cultivators at the Permanence Acme Rank with such
an overwhelming amount of aura.
After a moment’s consideration, Wynona lifted her hand. Just then, a beam of golden light shot down from the sky and shone on
Wynona’s hand.
As the light slowly faded away, the audience could see the object that in her hand was a sword.
“It’s the Caelandor!”
“It’s the sword previously owned by our headmaster.” “It’s hailed as the most powerful weapon in the Verde District.”
“Some say the sword might have first belonged to the founder of the Verde Academy. It’s a superb weapon that transcends the
Acme Rank.”
There was a stir in the crowd as Wynona summoned the Caelandor Sword.
She pointed the Caelandor in James’ direction. Then, she said in a low voice, “I admit you’re pretty good. You’re the first to make
me use the Caelandor Sword in a battle. Even if you lose this battle, everyone in the Verde District will know your name from this
point onward.”
Wynona was extremely confident that with the power of her sword, she would not lose to James.
On the other hand, James could sense an overpowering sword intent coming from the Caelandor. It was a superior energy that
was powerful enough to affect its wielder’s opponents.
James could feel his pulse race and the strength of the Thousand Paths Holy Body drop due to the Caelandor* s ability.
He let out a small chuckle. ‘The Caelandor is indeed a superb weapon. However, what matters more is the skill of its wielder.
Since you’ve decided to use the Caelandor, I’ll use my own sword to defeat you and show everyone who’s the better fighter.”
James conjured the Death-Celestial Sword at that instant. Then, he shot up into the air. As he rocketed upward, a wave of sword
energy and countless inscriptions were produced from his sword simultaneously.
