"Mister Marco?" muttered Wilbur. He frowned as he recalled the match from the day before. That guy named Marco March had been extremely vicious, and it was only fitting that he ended up being killed. He deserved it. Could it be that the March family was so unreasonable that everyone who offended Marco had to die? If that was the case, did Marco consider all the cultivators in the same arena as him the previous day having offended him? The muscular cultivator turned his head to glance at Wilbur while Wilbur was still lost in thought. They never spoke, only having met a few times, so they could be considered acquaintances. However, he pointed at Wilbur all of a sudden, and he jabbed twice. It seemed that he was sure Wilbur was among those who had offended Marco. Everyone looked toward Wilbur, and an immediate tension filled the air. They knew that Wilbur was likely to be in trouble. However, Wilbur found the situation to be ridiculous. He had never fought Marco, and his death w
However, they soon found out why. The organizer of the Guard Tournament, Bale Tier, stood in the arena after every participant made their choice. He faced everyone and said, "Everyone, I believe you've all seen the previous matches, and I'm sure you each have a question in mind. Why is it that fifty people have advanced this year, and why have only ten chosen to take on the Junior Guard position?" He paused for a moment, then continued, "Very well, I’ll answer these questions now. The answer to the first question is that Junior Guards are actually qualified to participate in the tournament from the advancement round. They are allowed to do so as long as they hold the title of Junior Guard!" After a moment's pause, he added, "This year, the March family, the leading family of Walker Town, sent thirty Junior Guards to participate. Among those thirty cultivators, twenty-five of them successfully earned their advancement, and five of those cultivators chose to retain the role of Juni
Each participant hoped to avoid strong opponents when drawing lots since everyone who had made it that far was a formidable cultivator. When Wilbur drew his lot, he encountered the cultivator who had torn his previous opponent in half. The cultivator's name was Kaden, and he had the werewolf bloodline. He was 1.8 meters tall before his transformation, and he could reach three meters in his transformed state. Kaden and Wilbur both reached their hands into the drawing tube and drew their lots. Kaden clenched his jaw and said, "Dude, you better pray that I'm not your match, or else I'll kill you." Wilbur chose to ignore the arrogant Kaden. Kaden had the bloodline of werewolves, but compared to the physically powerful Derek, Wilbur felt like Kaden was inferior to Derek. Therefore, he was not afraid. Kaden expected Wilbur to beg for mercy, but much to his surprise, Wilbur was unbothered. Wilbur only looked at the number on his stick, which made Kaden feel disrespected. He said angri
It was finally Wilbur's turn, so he let out a sigh of relief and leaped onto the arena. Kaden also jumped onto the platform at the same time. Kaden stared at Wilbur, his eyes flashing with a cold glint, and said coldly, "Wilbur, you dared to disrespect Mister March. Today will be your last." Wilbur smiled slightly and asked, "So, you want to kill me because I disrespected Mister March?" "Exactly!" exclaimed Kaden. "If I disrespect you, will you kill me too?" asked Wilbur. "Not necessarily," replied Kaden. Wilbur let out a cold snort and said, "What a loyal dog." "Hahaha!" The crowd could not help but laugh when they heard that. Kaden realized what had happened, so he glared at the onlookers, then turned his gaze back to Wilbur. He said, "You're playing word games with me, but don't get too cocky. Let's see how long you can keep this up!" Kaden suddenly tore his shirt apart after finishing his sentence, revealing his upper body. His body began to grow rapidly, and in
At that point, Kaden felt like he could tear Wilbur in half right in front of Horst, satisfying his grudge and earning Horst's admiration at the same time.No one had ever withstood a blow from Kaden, after all. However, Kaden was stunned to see that even with his speed suddenly doubled, Wilbur still managed to evade his attack. It left Kaden in disbelief.Truthfully, before Kaden suddenly increased his speed, Wilbur sensed the change in Kaden's energy, which allowed him to anticipate what Kaden would do. Sensing the energy within the surrounding environment was a unique ability of dragon clan cultivators. Therefore, it was nearly impossible for any cultivator to launch a surprise attack against a dragon clan cultivator. Wilbur wielded the Magic Dragon Blade after dodging several times. He leaped into the air, and then, with a powerful swing, slashed down fiercely. The powerful blade energy swept across, and Kaden quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest to block it. The blad
Wilbur intended to dodge, but there were innocent bystanders behind him. He did not want to hurt the innocent in the course of the battle. Therefore, he reluctantly recited a spell and activated the Azure Dragon astral defense. Roar! The figure of the Azure Dragon soared and shattered the stones in mid-air. Then, the shattered stones hovered harmlessly before they dropped to the ground. Kaden howled angrily and leaped. He landed next to Wilbur and attempted to claw his heart out. Wilbur activated the Azure Dragon astral defense again at that critical moment. Bam! The astral defense exploded when it came into contact with Kaden's claws. Wilbur was knocked back several meters because of the impact. All of that happened within a few seconds. It was a sight that stunned the crowd. They had never seen such an intense battle before. When the crowd snapped out of their daze, someone yelled, "Wilbur Penn is a dragon clan cultivator!" "I can't believe a dragon clan cultivator is
Kaden was still unwilling to accept defeat. He gathered energy in his hands to form a white light ball. The ball grew rapidly, soon reaching the size of a table, and was hurled violently towards Wilbur. Wilbur moved swiftly and flew into the ball. Kaden roared in fury, continuously channeling more energy into the expanding light ball. However, the light ball gradually shrunk despite his efforts. The light ball was fully absorbed by Wilbur in the end. Wilbur then struck Kaden on the chest with a powerful blow, unleashing a burst of white light from his palm. Wilbur used the force of the impact to transfer the energy from the light ball into Kaden's body. Bam! Kaden was heavily wounded, and he began to shrink in size rapidly after a thunderous sound. He quickly returned to his normal human form, then he collapsed onto the ground. Wilbur landed and walked towards Kaden. He looked at Kaden, who was lying on the ground and gasping for breath. Wilbur said, "I will spare your life if
According to the rules of the challenge, Middle Guards could join the final match. However, if a Middle Guard enters the challenge, their goal must be the position of Senior Guard. Those who could become a Senior Guard must be extremely powerful in cultivation. Typically, a Senior Guard would only appear once every five hundred years, so many cultivators overlooked the competition for the position of Senior Guard in the final match. Everyone had their focus on the third match of the finals, as it was the qualifying match for the Middle Guard. Wilbur did not expect that Horst would join the challenge, so he felt very shocked when he heard it from Miguel. Miguel sighed and said, "Actually, I'm not sure if Mister March would join the challenge, but the March family sent thirty cultivators to join the challenge. Five of them forfeited, and five of them were defeated, with twenty members remaining. The March family must have their agenda in doing so. It's highly possible that Horst wi
