Chapter 2059
It was only their first exchange of blows using their swords, yet already James’ long sword had beenknocked away.
After the woman disarmed James, she charged at him at lightning speed. Her long sword pressedagainst James’ chest, but she did not push it in to stab him. Then, she looked at James with asmirk.
“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 completelydifferent 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 completelycapable of dodging the attack, but she received a message from the Spirit Tool at that criticalmoment.
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 wascapable of pushing back the defender. Currently, it was impossible for her to completely dispersethe force of his blow, and she was flung away. Her body began to show signs of disintegration rightthen.
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 methrough 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.novelbin
He looked at the woman in the white dress walking toward him and asked, “Does this count as myvictory?”
“Yeah.” she nodded.
She intended to dodge James’ attack but suddenly received a message from the Spirit Tool. Shewas 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’vesuccessfully 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 himwin?”
The Spirit Tool sighed and said softly, “Master’s time is running out. Back then, he died, and afragment 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’msure he can beat you if he is given a little more time. However, I don’t think our master can afford towait 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 withinhis 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. “Whyis 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 personwho showed up was a weak human.
James looked at the figure and said, “I may be weak now, but I’ll definitely become a peerlessmartial artist in the future, Sir. I will not squander your inheritance and disappoint you. Please handover 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’sfine. 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.
