When George was young, he was a person with a calm demeanor but had a strong sense of pride in his heart. He never bowed his head and surrendered to anyone. Looking at Wilbur now, George, as the lord of the town, had set up a banquet for him, only to be rejected tly.


    If it were any other cultivator who received such courtesy, they would have been deeply moved. The most important thing for a person was not to forget his or her identity and to be true to themselves no matter who they were facing. Therefore, a cultivator should always maintain a moderate stance.


    Wilbur was such a person. A person with a strong self-awareness would naturally be less likely to make mistakes when doing things.


    After returning to the City Lord''s quarters, Wilbur returned to his room. After closing the door, he sat on the bed, crossed his legs, adjusted his breath, and began to heal himself. Although none of the opponents in the five battles today was strong, their attacks each had their own specialty.


    Among them, the most important thing was that these five people each had their trump cards. The moves they had kept to themselves were all extremely powerful moves that could bring about a fatal blow.


    Moreover, at the beginning of the fight, it waspletely impossible to tell that the opponent had such strength. They would only attack suddenly at a critical moment, making the fight unpredictable.


    Although Wilbur dodged the opponent''s attack from the front, he inevitably received some scratches from the side. Therefore, while adjusting his breath to recover from his physical injuries, Wilbur recalled the moves of the five people and gradually learned from them.


    After a night of meditation, Wilbur''s body hadpletely recovered and was full of energy. After a big meal in the restaurant, he bade goodbye to George and headed to the square alone.


    By the time Wilbur arrived at the square, there was already a huge crowd. This day was a promotion match and a positioning match. The guards were divided into Senior Guards, Middle Guards, and Junior Guards. Those who passed the preliminary round yesterday and won three games in a row today would bepeting against the Junior Guards in the fourth game.


    The winner would be granted the title of a Junior Guard. However, if he won the fourth game and obtained the position of the Junior Guard, the participant must withdraw from the challenge to keep this identity.


    If the participant wishes to continue fighting, there would be a chance of losing in the subsequent battles, and with it, the position of the Junior Guard. Therefore, the Guard Challenge not only tested the cultivator''s strength but also tested the cultivator''s judgment.


    The promotion match was undoubtedly the final one for some of the cultivators. After all, bing a Junior Guard was already the goal for most cultivators. They knew full well that it would only be more difficult in the future. To be a Middle Guard would be ten times harder than bing a Junior Guard.


    If the Junior Guard uses the teleportation array, no matter the destination, it would be at least a twenty percent discount on the gold coins required. Meanwhile, Middle Guards would get a half price discount.


    Therefore, the gap between the two was huge. There were only ten Middle Guard positions open every year. Even so, most of the time, only five people could attain the position of Middle Guard each year.


    The probability was too low, and it was too difficult to be a Middle Guard. Therefore, no one would dare to challenge a Middle Guard unless that person had been practicing for thousands of years.


    After queuing up to get the number, Wilbur came to the tform. Since he drew the number five, there would be four battles before his turn.


    Therefore, Wilbur had some time to watch the battles first and see what tricks the previous cultivators might have. After all, the winner among them was likely to meet Wilbur in the subsequent battles.


    He figured that by understanding the other party''s situation in advance, he would not be caught off guard when the other party suddenly made a move.


    As expected, today''s battle was much more exciting than the previous day. As the previous day was the preliminary round, the strength of the cultivators varied greatly. Therefore, many matches were not useful for reference. However, after passing the preliminary round, those who survived were the cultivators with a certain level of skills.
