The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 1696

Chapter 1696

Thea was hesitant. In the end, as she was fearful of death, she decided against consuming the blood. So, she carefully stored it somewhere else.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Today was the day of the tournament.

There was an arena in the castle in the middle of the Nashaxi Desert. At that moment, the venue was crowded with people

The First Blood Emperor appeared in the arena and looked at the crowd, announcing. “Everyone, the Blood Race will hold up its end of the bargain. Whoever emerges victorious shall be awarded the dragon blood left behind by our ancestors a millennium ago

“Not only that, but we will also reveal the whereabouts of the dragon.”

Dragon blood allows one to attain immortality. This is a fact and not a lie. The Blood Race has treasured the dragon blood for a thousand years. Today, we shall offer it to the strongest of all. However, be mindful that you may lose your life in the arena”

Saying that, he left the arena.

Many people gathered outside the arena. Among the three hundred or so people, approximately fifty of them were Solean martial artists, the vast majority of them being the creme de la creme

James was acquainted with many of them.

He could see his grandfather, Thomas Behind Thomas were a bunch of masked men, whose identities James could not discern

Though the First Blood Emperor had left the arena, none dared step forward.

Standing beside Sky, James whispered in his ear, “Since no one dares step forward, why don’t you take the lead? I’ll be your replacement if you’re defeated. But, I don’t think you’ll be defeated. After all, you’re one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful individual in the world.”

James’ words fed Sky’s ego. However, he was not so foolish as to send himself to his death. If he stepped forward now, he would have to defeat every challenger to emerge victorious.

At that moment, no one dared step forward

Now, he could no longer trust his grandfather completely. The fewer people who knew his strength, the better.

“Not telling the truth to your grandpa now, huh?” Thomas looked at him and said, “Once everything’s resolved here, I’ll arrange a meeting between you and your father.”

Upon hearing this, James was delighted, “Really?”

“Of course! When have I ever lied to you?”

James took a deep breath. He had shouldered the burden of hatred for more than ten years. So, after learning that his family was still alive, he was delighted. However, he had yet to meet them even though a long time had passed. Now, at long last, he could finally meet them again.

“Tell me the truth, James. Have you crossed into the ninth rank?”

Thomas lowered his voice and whispered. 7 plan to slay the dragon once I learn of its whereabouts. You should tag along. After all, Thea needs the dragon blood to be saved.”

James nodded. “I’m coming along Inform me when you plan to make a move.”
