Chapter 2251
James came to the Ancient Realm while trying to flee for his life. He was unwilling to cast the Sacrilegious Ascension or use the Infinity Stele because it would cause unnecessary problems. He simply wanted to cultivate unbothered and improve his strength as soon as he could.
After that, he would return to Earth and kill the Divinity Sect’s elder.
Swoosh!
After a myriad of thoughts flashed through his mind, James took a deep breath. He looked at Harold and said calmly, “Go ahead.”
Harold replied nonchalantly, “Draw your weapon. It’ll be child’s play to crush you if you’re going in unarmed.”
“If that’s the case, then I shall admit my defeat.”
After weighing the pros and cons, James forfeited the match.
The audience was shocked to hear James admit defeat.
No one expected James to surrender before the match even started.
Even Harold was blindsided.
He knew James had impressive physical strength at the Immortal Ascension’s Fifth Stair. He still stood a chance against harold but chose to surrender instead.
Under countless gazes, James slowly walked out of the arena. He arrived beside Yoan and said, “I’m sorry, Sir. I don’t think I stand a chance against Harold. Let’s give up on the opportunity to enter the Pagoda of Flames and head back.”
James chose to give up. He did not want to be in the spotlight and risk exposing his trump cards.
Anyway, he could still use them to rapidly enhance his strength in a short period, even if he lost the opportunity to enter the Pagoda of Flames.
There was still nearly a year before the Grand Tournament. Plus, he also had the Celestial. Abode.
He would have enough time to train himself if he entered the Time Chamber.
The current competition was not that important to him.
Thus, he chose to forfeit.
Yoan nodded lightly and said, “Mhm. You’re indeed no match for him right now. It’s
“These people will be eligible to enter the Pagoda of Flames.
“However, there are still three spots remaining. In the name of fairness, all the defeated participants may join the survival round. The losers of the first round will be given a chance to challenge the losers of the second round. Then, the winner will move on to challenge the losers of the third round, and so on. If James can keep winning, he’ll still have a chance to enter the Pagoda of Flames.”
Hearing this, Yoan sighed in relief.
Yoan walked back to James and explained the competition’s rules.
“James, you still have a chance. After seven spots are occupied, the losers from the previous fights will participate in a survival round. The losers of the first round will challenge the losers. of your round, and the winner will move on to challenge the losers of the third round. If you can keep a winning streak, you may still be able to enter the Pagoda of Flames.”
“Is that so?”
James’ face lit up with joy. He had already given up and was not expecting to still have a shot at entering the Pagoda of Flames.
With his current strength, he could surely win if he did not have to duel against the strongest prodigies in the competition.
In fact, he could win if he were to go against someone like Harold. However, he was not willing to expose his true strength.
Yoan said with a smile, “Yeah, so we’ll stay for a few more days. After the top seven are determined, you can participate in the survival round.”

"Good things take time" Lol yeah, a hundred and fifty trillion years, apparently....
How was Sheldon Jame's first disciple? Wasn't the Black Eagle King the first? Where has he disappeared to all this time?...
Unbelievable... I thought James was rid of the annoying "honey, darling" Thea by going to the Demonic Realm, but now she's gone there too *puke*...
This Thea is the most narcissistic woman of all, constantly interrupting James's cultivation, getting in the way of his plans and slowing him down. He was well rid of her but the author went bonkers a few hundred chapters into the story and decided to pair her back with James.. Yuck!...
Thea doesn't deserve James, it so sad he loves her...
Thank you so much for all the effort. I love all the stories I've read. I hope to continue reading "The Almighty Dragon General" story. 😊...
