ording 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 be 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 thepetition 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 will join the challenge tomorrow. While I admit that you''re a powerful cultivator, you should still be cautious."


    Miguel patted Wilbur on the shoulder. Suddenly, a cultivator with red hair walked over and asked, "Why are you talking to him, Miguel? The match is over, let''s go."


    "Can''t you see, Eugene? Wilbur is a dragon n cultivator. Also, don''t you think he was benevolent? Kaden treated him like that, but he still gave Kaden a second chance."


    Eugene said with an unfriendly face, "Perhaps we can be friends with him if he can survive, but he doesn''t have that chance. Talking to him is aplete waste of time."


    Then, Eugene pulled Miguel and left. Wilbur thought that his exposed identity as a dragon n cultivator would lead to a surrounding crowd. However, everyone left after the matches were over. No one even gave him a second nce.


    Wilbur knew that it was not what they truly felt. It was probably because he offended Horst, so they wanted to avoid trouble by keeping their distance.


    "Wilbur, I heard you won the battle," said Lord George when Wilbur was in a daze.


    "Huh?" asked Wilbur. He turned around and saw Lord George approaching him with his servants. Lord George was smiling because his servants had informed him of Wilbur''s win.


    Lord George felt d, so he decided to congratte Wilbur in person to escort him back to the ruler''s residence.


    "Lord George," greeted Wilbur.


    Wilbur approached Lord George, and after a brief conversation, they headed towards the City Lord''s quarters.


    Wilbur told Lord George about what happened at the arena after they returned to the City Lord''s quarters. Wilbur said, "Kaden was malicious. I promised to spare his life, so I was quite surprised that he would use a hidden weapon on me."


    Wilbur thought that Lord George would me him. However, Lord George only smiled and said, "You did well today, Wilbur. Kaden deserved his death. By doing so, you also humiliated Horst March. He''lle for you for vengeance in tomorrow''s match. Come on, cheers to you."
