Wilbur chuckled. "You're a brilliant fighter yourself, Senior."
"No need for the pleasantries. You may have beaten me in combat, but I'm going all out now. I'd be careful if I were you," said the elder.
Wilbur frowned. "Surely that isn't necessary."
"Why not? I'm faced with an expert. I'm definitely getting a good fight out of this! If you manage to hold up for three minutes within my spirit barrier, my promise from before still stands," the elder replied.
Wilbur shook his head in exasperation. "Are you really that desperate for a pupil?"
"Many people can only dream of being my pupil, young man! Let me show you what real power looks like."
The elder retracted the spear and shouted, "Wrath of Spear!"
All at once, spiritual energy exploded from the elder's body and lit ablaze into spiritual flames.
At the same time, a hundred spears appeared within a twenty-meter radius around both cultivators.
The spears were all different in shape and size, burning brightly with overwhelming spiritual pressure.
All that spiritual energy condensed into one, rolling toward Wilbur with overwhelming pressure that trapped him in a sea of spears at once.
The elder stroked his beard. "Have you heard of what a Sanctuary level cultivator can do? This is the power of one. I don't even have to do anything. You won't last three minutes."
A Sanctuary level cultivator was already impossibly terrifying, and the channeling of a spirit barrier only made all the Wrath of Spear radiate with an even stronger spiritual pressure that would usually take any cultivator below Sanctuary level down before they could even fight back.
However, Wilbur merely smiled in response to that. The blade of his cleaver lit up with spiritual flames and lightning sparks. It had transformed into the thunder cleaver.
The spiritual pressure of the Wrath of Spear was no longer enough to hold Wilbur down.
The elder's expression turned to one of shock at the sight of the spiritual flame on Wilbur's thunder cleaver, but he nodded with a smile. "Yes. I'd say you're the strongest below Sanctuary level."
