Female Novel
Chapter 1394
After absorbing the Spirit Turtle’s core, the eighth-rank grandmasters must have begun ascending the
Skyward Stairway. As James had never fought against grandmasters at such a level, he could not be
sure of their strength. He only knew that their existence alone was terrifying.
Even for Callan Maverick, James would feel a shiver down his spine whenever he was reminded of the
strength Callan demonstrated as a grandmaster who had ascended the second stair of the Skyward
Stairway.
During the Mount Thunder Conference, Callan was first ambushed by Lucjan Owen, an eighth-rank
grandmaster. After being ambushed, he was struck by eight other powerful martial artists. However,
despite being gravely injured, he was still able to fight to a standstill against Lucjan. He even
participated in the battle against the Spirit Turtle and seized its core. Only after a series of battles did
he finally exhaust himself. Such power was truly unparalleled.
After absorbing the Spirit Turtle’s core, James crossed into the eighth rank from the early-stage
seventh rank. Meanwhile, the eighth-rank grandmasters must have already begun ascending the
Skyward Stairway after absorbing the core.
James prayed that he would not come across any ancient martial artists from Sol at the Internationalnovelbin
Martial Arts Conference. However, he knew that this was impossible. Lucjan, for one, would certainly
be present.
That was because the victor of this conference would obtain Excalibur, a sword that commanded the
knights. With how ambitious and power-hungry Lucjan was, he would never let this opportunity slip
through his grasp.
Wearing a solemn expression, James left the hotel. After leaving the hotel, he called for a taxi and
headed toward Mount Olympus. Sitting in the passenger’s seat, he shut his eyes and rested.
“We’ve arrived.”
A voice interrupted James’ meditation.
“Are we there yet?”
The taxi driver glanced at James, saying, “Mount Olympus is right in front of us. Hey, are you from Sol?
Are you here on an adventure? I have to say that Mount Olympus is no ordinary place. The mountains
are steep, and it’ll be difficult to make your way up.”
“Thanks for the reminder.”
James smiled slightly and handed over the wad of cash he had prepared in advance to the taxi driver.
After getting off the car, he stood on an empty plot of land and gazed at the snow-capped mountain
before him. From afar, the mountain seemed to be enveloped in a thin mist. This was the world-
renowned Mount Olympus, an international tourist attraction where countless people would flock over
for a vacation. There were many hotels, food streets, and shopping malls around it.
Though James was in a place full of buildings, the place was desolated at the moment. Only a few
fully-armed knights could be seen passing by.
“What are you doing here?”
Just as James was scanning his surroundings, a few knights rode over to him.
“No one is allowed to approach Mount Olympus for now.”
The knights glanced at James.
Holding the Blade of Justice in his hand, James said coldly, “Can’t you see that I’m here to participate
in the International Martial Arts Conference? It’s on that mountain, isn’t it?”
“Yes, the conference will be held on Mount Olympus.”
“Got it.”
James said coldly.
Then, catalyzing True Energy, he disappeared without a trace.
The knights were stunned.
“What?”
“What speed!”
