The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 4641

The four disciples departed contentedly. As for James, he kept a certain distance from the elder.

He could not shake the persistent feeling that something was wrong.

“Who are you?” James looked at the elder puzzledly.

“Ahem.” The elder straightened his posture, cleared his throat, and said solemnly, “Young man, listen carefully. I am the Head of Tempris House at the Verde Academy and one of the top ten powerhouses of the academy. I place third amongst these ten powerhouses.

“So, are you impressed?” He gazed at James, his old face lighting up with a bright smile. James attempted to gauge the elder’s cultivation rank, but it seemed the latter had mastered a technique to obscure his aura. James could not ascertain his exact cultivation base.

Nonetheless, being ranked third in the Verde Academy was sufficient to denote his formidable abilities. At the very least, he must have reached the Late Boundless Rank of the Caelum Acme Rank.

“Beginning today, you’ll be a disciple of the Tempris House,” the Head of Tempris House declared as he stroked his beard solemnly. He continued, “In fact, it is only fitting that we arrange a grand initiation ceremony after successfully recruiting such a promising disciple. It’ll undoubtedly astonish the other academies.

“It’s set. That’ll be the plan.” The man smiled warmly, directing his gaze at James. He then asked, “Young man, what is your name?”

James matched his seriousness and responded, “I am James Caden.”

“That’s a nice name. For the time being, make yourself at home in the Tempris House. There are numerous spiritual mountains within this domain, and this entire area falls under my jurisdiction. Feel free to explore as you wish. I’ll notify the other academies and extend invitations to their Heads for your initiation ceremony,” the Head of Tempris House concluded before disappearing, leaving James in a state of bewilderment.

Had he truly become a disciple of the Verde Academy? He had some understanding of the Verde Academy. It had five major branches, and the Tempris House was one of them. Other than that, the specifics were unclear to him.

Intrigued by this revelation, James inquired, “What event?”

“Um, I’m afraid I can’t reveal that. It would be best you asked the master directly.” With evident apprehension, the young man hurriedly scuttled away.

James stroked his chin and muttered, “There’s definitely something going on here.”

Releasing his Zen, he surveyed the Tempris House and sensed the presence of the Head of Tempris House on a spiritual mountain. In a swift motion, James vanished from his original position and materialized beside the Head of Tempris House the next instant.

However, upon arriving, James was startled by what he saw. The area was blanketed in graves. As far as he could see, there were potentially millions of them. Taken aback by the scene, he could not restrain himself from inquiring, “Why are there so many graves here?”
