The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 7468

“Are you crazy?” Thea immediately grabbed James’ ear. “Youcef is at the Daeclon Mahayana Rank. Our son...”

“True heroes rise in the face of adversity,” James interrupted. “If Jacopo truly claims to be the strongest in the myriad realms, he should accept any challenge. It’s his basic duty as the foremost powerhouse.

“If he’s only after fame without the substance to back it up, then this challenge will serve as a punishment, teaching him the virtues of humility and restraint.”

Thea released James’ ear, stunned by his words. It was clear that her husband was displeased with their son’s title as the strongest in the myriad realms.

Reflecting on it, she realized that James had never declared himself the strongest, even when he dominated Xyndaros Genesis World and fought the Grand Patriarchs of various Orthodox factions in the Genesis World.

He had never sought the empty title of the top powerhouse, even when he defied Tai Chi and fought against Zymurgy alone. Now, as the ruler of Haleth Realm, he had achieved the Supreme Path without assuming any exalted titles or claiming to be the best.

James understood that there was always someone stronger, and one should not aim to be a target by claiming the top spot. Strength was intrinsic and irremovable, but no amount of power could eliminate all enemies. It was about making the most significant impact at the critical moment.

“Young Master, can you arrange this now?” James looked at the stunned Jaime.

“Now?” Jaime’s face twitched. “Senior, we are in the middle of the Wyrth Selection. This timing...”

Youcef’s eyes lit up with excitement. He was unable to hide his joy. Getting a promise from the Supreme Path was a dream come true for many gods, an opportunity often sought but rarely obtained. Now, he could gain it just by defeating an arrogant young man from the myriad realms. It was too good to be true.

James continued, “However, I will punish you if you lose, and even your mother’s pleas won’t save you.”

Youcef immediately knelt down and kowtowed to James. “I will not fail!”

Yaretzi and Thea exchanged worried glances. As mothers of the two children, they were anxious but could do nothing about James’ decision. After all, he was now the Supreme Path, the ruler of Haleth Realm, with his identity concealed. It was not suitable to publicly oppose him.
