Chapter 5189
After all, the Headmaster of the Dieux Academy only reached the peak of Great Celestial
Rank.
However, this was James' understanding based on his knowledge from his previous life.
After countless ages had passed, the Headmaster of the Dieux Academy might have
already broken through to the Martial Celestial Rank.
They were all astonished while acknowledging that Aurelius was at the Petit Celestial
Rank. They wondered how they could secure first place if even a Petit Celestial Rank
powerhouse was taking part in the discipleship assessment.
"Forget about the first place," James said. "Being selected by the Dieux Academy as their
disciples is good enough."
Gaius glanced at James and asked, "Forty-nine, can you honestly say that you can
compete with a Petit Celestial Rank powerhouse given your current strength?"
James was currently at the early stage of Sovereign Third Rank, a realm far inferior to the
Petit Celestial Rank. In theory, it was nearly impossible for a living being to leap several
realms and be victorious in battle.
However, James was a mystery, which piqued Gaius' curiosity. King Marciais, Gurgen, and
Taran also focused their attention on James.
James replied, "I should be able to hold my own in a battle if I were to go all out, but I can't
do it here due to the many
restrictions in the Central Plane. Many of my signature martial art skills cannot be
employed."
Upon hearing James' response, everyone took a deep breath. It was terrified that an early
stage of Sovereign Third Rank powerhouse could contend with a Petit Celestial Rank
powerhouse.
James looked at their shocked companions and smiled, without offering further
explanation.
They obediently stood in line. After several hundred years in the queue, they finally
entered the universe where the Dieux Academy was located.
The universe was vast, and for the recruitment of new disciples, the Dieux Academy had
created a planet for the candidates to reside. However, most of these candidates came
from minor planes. Those from major planes with status and backgrounds did not live on
this planet but resided in more prosperous ones.
This planet was enormous, filled with countless spiritual mountains and lands, each
housing a building. James and the others had been arranged to stay in one of these
accommodations.
'That's excessive," King Marciais said. "Every living being on this planet is here for the
disciple assessment. The Dieux Academy can’t take in that many disciples even if it is
incredibly powerful. Achieving recognition and becoming a disciple is already remarkable."
'This is the terrifying aspect of the Dieux Academy," James explained. "Even some
powerhouses wish to join and cultivate within this academy for a certain duration. Over
time, this has contributed to the Dieux Academy's unparalleled network of connections."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGurgen leaned back in his chair, hands cradling his head, and said, 'Trying to get first
place is too difficult. I wonder if any Great Celestial Ranks will participate. It would be
interesting if they joined the assessment."
James said, "It's highly unlikely for anyone at the Great Celestial Rank to attend. The Dieux
Academy would extend respect to the Great Celestial Rank powerhouses, and they
wouldn't be required to participate in the assessment. In fact, they might hold the position
of an elder within the academy. The same principle applies to those at the Petit Celestial
Rank. However, occasionally, some Petit Celestial Ranks participate in the assessment just
for fun."
"Rest well, guys. I'm going out for a walk," James said as he stood up.
Since a considerable amount of time had passed since his previous life, he did not know
the current state of the
Central Plane and the countless planes. He wondered which powerhouses had emerged
after his death. He needed to seize this opportunity to gather information.
