James pulled Maxine off the ground and left.
After they had walked a few meters away, they suddenly heard someone exclaim angrily. James felt a powerful force sweeping toward him. The intensity of the threat raised goosebumps all over his skin.
He pushed Maxine away with all his strength and turned around as he raised his hands to confront the threat.
Boom!
The forces collided and resulted in a loud explosion.
Remnants of the forces lingered in the air and caused the nearby Caden disciples to stagger from its sheer potency. Those without True Energy fell to the ground and coughed up blood.
James felt the powerful force surge through his palm and into his body. His arm went numb, and he stumbled several meters backward. In addition to that, the Blood Energy in his body bubbled over and caused blood to gush out of his throat. He forced himself to withstand the pain as he swallowed a mouthful of his own blood.
Tobias stood firmly on the ground and his eyes shone grimly as he glowered at James.
He could barely process the fact that James was strong enough to withstand an attack from him.
“James, you’ve done well in hiding your strength.”
“Heh.” James smirked.
Tobias questioned, “Your True Energy has grown a great deal. Seeing as you’re still standing, am I right in assuming you’ve already entered the sixth rank?”
This outsider… is a sixth-rank grandmaster?!
Everyone stared at James in disbelief.
They never thought it possible that James had already reached the sixth rank so quickly.
James smiled lightly and did not reply Tobias’ question. Instead, he changed the topic and asked, “Can I take Maxine with me?”
Tobias clasped his hands behind his back as he replied, “Of course. However, I’d to remind her that once she steps out of these gates, she’ll no longer be a part of the Caden family nor have anything to do with us.”
James did not say anything in response and turned to leave.
