As James gazed at the city before him, he murmured, “This should be Doncaster City, the core cityof Doncaster. I wonder if the Welkin Academy is still admitting disciples. I hope I can make it.”
James had nowhere to go in this foreign land. Since the Welkin Academy was the strongest in theAncient Realm, he might be able to receive its protection in the future by becoming its disciple.
Besides, he also learned that the Welkin Academy had bad blood with the Divinity Sect. This wasthe reason Melany came here.
James walked through the busy streets teeming with people. On both sides of the street, manycultivators were selling weapons, elixirs, and cultivation methods.
After entering the city, James grabbed a random person and asked, “Excuse me, I heard that theWelkin Academy is admitting new disciples in Doncaster City. May I know where should I go?”

“James, thirty-six, rogue cultivator, no established residence,” James answered truthfully.
The woman noted down everything.
