Just as Keira was about to leave with Elder Grant, a

voice rang out.

“Some genius, Elder Grant, I think you’ve gone senile, haven’t you? Are your eyes failing you?”

The two turned their heads, only to see James approaching, looking at her with a mocking sneer.

Elder Grant hurriedly said, “How could I be senile? I’ve observed her for a long time, and besides, didn’t she pass three moves against you?”

James sneered coldly. “That’s because I

underestimated her and was careless! If we were to

fight now, she wouldn’t last a single move against me!”

Keira furrowed her brows. “Then let’s have a match. If I

can last five moves against you, you’ll let Elder Grant take me to see the Sect Leader, how about that?”

She still knew nothing about her own strength.

James, however, scoffed. “I won’t fight you, but neither

can you go. Elder Grant, Inner Sect Disciples must go through strict assessments, and even their character

Elder Grant was taken aback, “Where is her character

Leaving these words behind, James strode away.

Elder Grant immediately showed a troubled look as he anxiously turned to Keira, “Keera, it’s one thing to provoke the Gill family, but why would you provoke this scourge? His older brother is famously a good-for-nothing in Clance, and he’s known as the devil in the Freeman Sect. Moreover, he’s the second senior brother ranked right below our senior sister. Having offended him, how could the Inner Sect possibly accept you!”
