As soon as the man appeared, the crowd either knelt or bowed in unison once again.
“Greetings to the Dravon War King!”
The man was none other than Wyot Dalibor, the Dravon War King who ranked sixth among the Jademora Empire’s Thirteen Warriors.
Wyot raised his hand in response to their greetings, casting Zared a sideways glance.
Adair hurriedly said, “Dravon War King…”
Wyot waved his hand dismissively.
“The Mortal Emperor once said that all beings in our realm are equal. The people of the Jademora Empire have always treated the Mortal Emperor’s Daoisms and teachings as our lifelong mission. We don’t instigate fights. At the same time, we don’t avoid them either.”
Wyot gestured to Zared.
“We welcome everyone to our arena for battles.”
Zared slapped his thigh and pointed to Wyot. “Mhm! That’s what a real hero from the Jademora Empire should be like. You’re generous and flexible, unlike some who betray their previous master after gaining power and influence for themselves.”
Zared grinned at Adair smugly, then led the dozens of disciples behind him toward the stage.
Adair’s face turned red with anger. She was about to rush toward Zared, but Wyot stopped her.
“Zared!” Wyot bellowed.
Zared had just passed through the layers of men circling him and his disciples when he halted in his tracks. He slowly turned around.
“That man, the Dravon War King, is smart. He gave the other man an opportunity and warned him at the same time. He has the aura of a charismatic leader.”
James smiled slightly.
Wyot was a sensible, cool-headed, and gifted man. He had what it took to become a general or a regional governor. James admired him for these reasons.
“As for Zared Maguire, he seems to be up to something,” Yianni continued. “I’ve observed some of the matches his disciples have competed in. Their cultivation ranks are roughly in or around the Seventh Xaeclon Rank, which isn’t really high. However, they’ve demonstrated exceptional skills and great potential, making them dangerous opponents during battles.”
Yianni elaborated, “If Zared’s group takes up all the available spots for the next round of the Wyrth Selection, the Jademora Empire will lose face and credibility.”
James remained silent.
‘It’s fine even if that happens. The problem is… Did Zared show up here just to cause a disturbance at the Wyrth Selection?’ he wondered.

"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. 😊...
