Wilbur sped all the way to Noir Nightclub, barging into room 888. Matt hurried to bow when he saw Wilbur. "Sir, that's the guy!" He pointed to a young man. Wilbur looked over and saw that the guy seemed to be in his twenties. He was a pretty handsome guy, with most of his hair covering half his face. Wilbur then spotted Gerard on the floor and hurried to help him up. He also channeled some spirit energy into Gerard to stabilize his condition. Gerard looked down indignantly. "Sir, we've embarrassed your name." Wilbur said nothing. He glanced at the gamblers before his gaze finally landed back on the young man. "What should I call you?" "Skyler White, King of Thieves," the young man said, taking a drag of his cigar. Wilbur replied coldly. "King of Thieves, huh? That's some big name you got." "Of course." Skyler did not seem humble in the slightest. Wilbur's expression darkened. "You stole in my territory and even attacked others. How dare you still act so smugly!" Sky
Jerome himself was rather fired up as well. "How are you going to pay?" Jerome had a bit of a name in the industry, and those two gamblers could hardly afford to mess with him. With the addition of Skyler, Matt, and the rest, the two gamblers said at once, "We'll follow the rules and pay up three times how much we won." "Is that alright with you, sir?" Jerome looked at Skyler. Skyler replied nonchalantly, "Sure." The two gamblers made the transfer to Skyler at once, apologizing to him once again. Wilbur said, "So, I take it the whole cheating debacle is done with, Skyler White?" "It's done." Wilbur nodded. "Well, what about you stealing in my territory and attacking others when you get caught?" It was the gamblers' fault for cheating, and they deserved to pay up for that. But after that was sorted, the stealing was to be dealt with. Skyler chuckled. "That's just what I do. Besides, I stole from rich people. It's like a Robin Hood situation." "And who were you fee
Splitmove was a technique that allowed the cultivator to travel within short distances in a split second, a very handy and useful technique. This was a type of technique that even Sanctuary level cultivators might not be able to master. However, Wilbur had looked up information on Skyler before this. He was just a beginner Ambience level cultivator. He must have some secrets of his own to be able to master the Splitmove at that stage. Skyler himself was shocked as well. He was a master of Splitmove and had never lost before. However, this man before him had just nullified his attack with just a wave of his arm, all while being able to attack Skyler as well. How had Wilbur been so sure where Skyler was going to travel to? Skyler could not understand the situation at all. Of course, Wilbur understood it fully. Whenever Wilbur got into a battle, he would extend his spirit energy to form an invisible sensor within a one-meter radius around him. That allowed Wilbur to sense
A heavy thump echoed through the room as Skyler felt like his entire system was upended. The spirit energy in his body flowed out uncontrollably, unable to condense at all. It could be said that Wilbur had rendered Skyler unable to fight anymore. The other gamblers stared at them in shock. Skyler was already terrifyingly powerful, but this man was even more so. He had taken Skyler out with just one move, and none of them could understand just how this man had done it. Matt and Gerard were much more relieved upon seeing Skyler taken down, and they turned to the gamblers and owner of the club. "Tell anyone a word of what happened tonight, and we'll have your heads." The owner of the club barely dared to say a word, hurrying off with the other gamblers as they ran out of the club. Jerome drove right home. Whatever happened to the club was out of his control now. He was fine with anything as long as he did not get swept up into this terrifying battle. Just then, Wilbur turned
A cultivator did not usually care much about money, but they did care about precious ancient treasure. That was much, much harder to find compared to money. Cultivation methods, weapons, pills, and antidotes. Anything of that sort was important to a cultivator. Wilbur raised his brows. Who would have thought that something would actually come out of scaring the guy? He fell silent for a brief moment before saying, "Go on. I'm listening." Sensing Wilbur's interest, Skyler crawled up slowly and put on a mysterious expression. "I stumbled across these ancient remains a while back when I went to Jarlinville, but it was sealed shut with a powerful spell. I was afraid I might be getting myself in trouble, so I didn't go in. However, I'm sure you'll be able to do so since you're so powerful! Judging from the spell sealing it shut, I'm sure it's hiding something pretty good." "Heh. You didn't go in, or you weren't able to?" Wilbur mocked. Skyler flushed, saying nothing further. W
Of course, there was no way Faye was convinced. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking up at the ceiling. Wilbur resigned to taking out the Marrow Cleansing Pill, waving it in front of Faye. "Look, I've got a present for you." "What is it?" Faye's curiosity was piqued, and she glanced at the pill. Wilbur said, "This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill. I got it just for you. Once you take it, I'll channel spirit energy into your body and you'll be able to start cultivating as a cultivator." "Really?" Faye was overjoyed. Ever since Faye had witnessed just what Wilbur was capable of, she had fantasized about what it would be like to have powers like his. She knew, however, that she would never have such a chance. However, upon seeing Faron and Elsa becoming cultivators too, frustration began to bubble up within her again. Faye was not actually mad about Wilbur helping Sammy. Faye knew that she would never be able to control Wilbur, and she was happy enough that Wilb
Faron chuckled. "It's a very misleading scene to walk into." "Exactly, Miss Yves. Did you consent to this? If you didn't, I can get the authorities involved in this," Elsa said seriously. Wilbur's expression darkened. "Still going, I see." Faye covered her body with Faron's shirt and blushed. "Cut it out, you guys. I'm going to take a shower." She got up and fled at top speed. Elsa snorted. "Yeah, she definitely could use a shower." "Not bad, dude! You must be spent, man," Faron piped up. Wilbur glared at the both of them. "I was using the Marrow Cleansing Pill to channel spirit energy into Faye. What are you two trying to imply?" "Oh, it's nothing. We just thought we'd come to see you since we haven't in a few days. We didn't expect to walk into something so… intense," Elsa giggled. Wilbur's expression was ashen. "Do you need anything? Get lost if you don't." "Nope, nothing needed! We'll be on our way to work, then." Faron turned to leave, whistling playfully. Elsa
The golden hourglass turned over, and there were only ten grace points left in there. The Builder Pill appeared in front of Wilbur. He took one last wistful glance at the Emperor's Whisper and left the demiplane with the pill in his hand. Noticing that it was still early, he took the pill at once and began to meditate. As time passed, Wilbur's body lit up with a myriad of colors as a powerful energy filled his room. The colorful light finally faded during the evening, and Wilbur slowly opened his eyes. Overjoyed, he realized that he had leveled up. After all those years, he was still stuck at the first stage of the Dragon's Chant. He had meditated tirelessly, and with the help of the Builder Pill, he had broken through to the second stage. Wilbur could clearly feel that his Dragon Crystal had doubled in size. That meant that he would be able to store even more spirit energy. On top of that, Wilbur was also able to cast some low to mid-level spells without even mutteri
