It was only their first exchange of blows using their swords, yet aiready James’ long sword had been knocked away.
After the woman disarmed James, she charged at him at lightning speed. Her long sword pressed against James’ chest, but she did not push it in to stab him. Then, she looked at James with a smirk.
“You lost.”
“I… lost?”James was stunned.
He did not expect to lose so easily.
After two years of rigorous training, how could he still lose so easily?
“Not yet.”
At that moment, James seized the opportunity and raised his hand. Suddenly, two completely different True Energies materialized in his palm.
The True Energies merged instantly and formed a brand new force, bursting out suddenly.
The whole process took only less than a second.
The woman was not expecting James to continue fighting her. Truthfully, she was completely capable of dodging the attack, but she received a message from the Spirit Tool at that critical moment.
This led her to not dodge the attack and block it instead.
However, James’ True Energy was much stronger than it was two years ago. Back then, he was capable of pushing back the defender. Currently, it was impossible for her to completely disperse the force of his blow, and she was flung away. Her body began to show signs of disintegration right then.
At that critical moment, a mysterious energy flowed out from her body and held her body. together.
She stood up from the ground in a disheveled state and said with a smile, “You’ve really put me through my paces, young man.”
James had a despondent expression.
It was not his intention to sneak an attack on her.
However, the allure of owning the Celestial Abode was too tempting.
He looked at the woman in the white dress walking toward him and asked, “Does this count as my victory?”
“Yeah.” she nodded.
She intended to dodge James’ attack but suddenly received a message from the Spirit Tool. She was slightly confused as to why the Spirit Tool instructed her to let him win.
At that moment, the Spirit Tool walked over and said cheerfully, “Congratulations, James.
You’ve successfully advanced through all barriers and are now qualified to refine the Celestial Spirit. However, whether you obtain it depends on our master. You may advance further.”
Hearing this, James’ expression was full of anticipation.
He approached the altar ahead of him.
The woman in the white dress questioned the Spirit Tool, “Why’d you tell me to suddenly let him win?”
The Spirit Tool sighed and said softly, “Master’s time is running out. Back then, he died, and a fragment of his soul escaped into the Celestial Abode, allowing him to remain in the area. However, it’s been a while since the Celestial Abode reappeared, and if we don’t find a new owner soon, what’s left of his soul will vanish.
“James excels in every aspect. He’s only slightly less accomplished in his martial art techniques. I’m sure he can beat you if he is given a little more time. However, I don’t think our master can afford to wait anymore.”
Hearing this, the woman in white did not pursue the topic further.
She turned around and looked at James approaching the altar.
James went up to the altar and stood in the center. He could see the Celestial Spirit. It was within his grasp.
Suddenly, a ray of light shone brightly and descended from above, appearing before James.
The light ray slowly coalesced and formed a vague silhouette. Although it was an immaterial figure, James could see it was a handsome young man.
“I’ve waited so many years. Has someone finally succeeded?”
The figure looked at James, and a touch of disappointment flashed on his barely opaque face.” Why is he so weak?”
He could tell James’ cultivation base with a glance.
Initially, he wanted the person inheriting him to be an unrivaled powerhouse. However, the person who showed up was a weak human.
James looked at the figure and said, “I may be weak now, but I’ll definitely become a peerless martial artist in the future, Sir. I will not squander your inheritance and disappoint you. Please hand over the Celestial Abode to me with that confidence.”
The figure stared at James.
After some time, he could sense something from James.
“Tch. I wasn’t expecting this to happen. It’s beyond my wildest imagination, for sure. Never mind, it’s fine. I’ll still hand over the Celestial Abode today, and trust you will not tarnish my reputation.”
“Haha!
“The countless years spent waiting for weren’t in vain afterall!”
The illusory figure burst out laughing.
