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 n cultivators.


    Therefore, it was nearly impossible for any cultivator tounch a surprise attack against a dragon n cultivator. Wilbur wielded the Magic Dragon de after dodging several times. He leaped into the air, and then, with a powerful swing, shed down fiercely.


    The powerful de energy swept across, and Kaden quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest to block it. The de energy struck the iron ring on his left hand, and with a loud ng, the iron ring shattered instantly. The powerful force of the attack pushed Kaden back several meters.


    The pain radiating from his left hand made Kaden clench his jaw, but instead of immediatelyunching an attack at Wilbur, he turned his head to look at Horst.


    "Mister March!" eximed Kaden as if he was begging.


    "Yeah." Horst nodded slightly as if he was granting Kaden permission.


    Kaden instantly became excited and turned to look at Wilbur. He said excitedly, "I have been waiting for this day."


    Wilbur wielded his Magic Dragon de and sprinted toward Kaden, saying, "You attacked me just now, and now it''s my turn."


    Just as Wilbur was about to close in on Kaden, a sudden surge of energy erupted from Kaden, sending a powerful shockwave that sted Wilbur away. Wilbur quickly thrusted his weapon into the arena floor when he was about to be thrown out of bounds. He used the force to spin his body mid-air, dissipating the shockwave''s impact andnded back on the tform.


    Wilbur looked up and saw that Kaden''s energy surged from within, which triggered a second transformation. His body rapidly grew, reaching a towering height of five meters. Fur began to sprout across his skin at the same time, and his hands extended into sharp ws.


    "Oh!"


    "He... Could it be that Kaden awakened his werewolf bloodline?"


    Awakening bloodline required immense cultivation. From Wilbur''s earlier observations of Kaden, he seemed to have a fiery temper. Wilbur thought Kaden would have awakened his bloodline earlier during the fight if he had the ability to do so.


    Moreover, he recalled Kaden''s earlier plea to Horst and the fact that the March family sent thirty Junior Guards to the Guard Challenge.


    No matter how powerful the Junior Guards were, it was nearly impossible for them to advance to the level of Senior Guards in a short amount of time. Moreover, as Wilbur observed earlier during the matches, he noticed that the Junior Guards from the March family were not particrly powerful. They were only slightly more powerful than the average Junior Guard, but still far weaker than the Middle Guards.


    It would be like throwing straws against the wind to attempt to challenge the Middle Guards. They were doomed to fail with their level of cultivation. The March family sent thirty contestants to the challenge, so it would have been impossible for them to have made such a bold n without some tricks up their sleeves.


    The only method to rapidly increase cultivation in a short amount of time was to consume special pills that enhanced cultivation. That would allow a significant boost in cultivation quickly. It seemed that the March family, in their eagerness to gain more Middle Guard positions, had relied on this approach to achieve their goals.


    Wilbur did not know what the March family''s intentions were, but he knew that Kaden was more dangerous than before because his cultivation suddenly increased by several folds.


    Kaden had blood-red eyes in his werewolf state as Wilbur expected. He stared at Wilbur, then turned into a blur as he sprinted toward Wilbur, with his right w aimed to strike Wilbur down.


    Wilbur moved swiftly as he evaded the attack. Kaden mmed into the ground with a resounding bang. The arena shook violently, and arge crater formed on the surface. Debris and rocks were sent flying into the air, and Kaden abruptly hurled the debris toward Wilbur.
