Chapter 351 Being powerful is not just about having great strength.

David's claw strike was incredibly fast. Had he been facing an ordinary warrior, that move would have surely been lethal.

Unfortunately for him, his opponent was William.

David felt as if his life were like a video game with cheats enabled, and William was like that person who, just as you're enjoying your game with cheats, pulls the plug, cuts the power, or even smashes your console to pieces.

Before David's claw could even touch William's neck, William merely extended a finger and lightly touched it...

In an instant, David's wrist snapped, bending at an odd angle.

The intense pain made David let out an agonizing scream.

However, this scream didn't escape the private room, as William didn't want those outside to hear such an unpleasant sound.

"Soulmancer, huh? Sorry, I'm not a Soulmancer," William said with a smile, staring into David's eyes, which quickly lost their sparkle as his scream abruptly ceased.

Hypnosis?

Such a small trick, and William only needed to look at him to make him completely lose himself.

David stood there like a wooden figure. William glanced at Lila and asked, "Are you so eager to know my secret?"

Lila blushed and retorted, "Who wants to know?"

But she quickly regained her composure and asked, "How did you know?"

William smiled silently and said, "I'll take him with me now, you'll have to pay the bill."

With that, he turned to leave.

David followed William emotionlessly.

Unable to resist, Lila asked, "What are you going to do to him?"

Without turning back, William replied, "You probably won't see him again."

He then opened the door of the private room and walked out, with David slowly following behind.

Lila stood there, stunned, long after they had left the restaurant.

David had just claimed he was a Soulmancer and even demonstrated hypnotic powers, suggesting a significant upgrade in his abilities.

But even in front of William, he was still no match.

It seemed that William could also hypnotize...

For some reason, she couldn't fathom why she thought of being hypnotized by William...

At that thought, she couldn't help but blush and feel her heart race.

"What am I thinking?" Lila took a deep breath to clear her head.

Soon, she realized that the world seemed to have changed.

It wasn't her first encounter with a Soulmancer. She had also seen online that many mysterious Guilds had appeared, recruiting apprentices. Should she try her luck?

In this era, news could spread across the world overnight.

In ancient times, if a Guild was recruiting apprentices, perhaps only nearby people would know. Now, as soon as the news breaks, almost the entire world knows about it.

As William and Steven had said, who in this world wouldn't want to become a person with superpowers?

Movies, TV shows, and novels are filled with stories of people with superpowers, deeply rooted in people's imaginations.

Looking back at history, it wasn't just ancient kings who dreamed of immortality,ordinary people also harbored such fantasies, whether it was in pursuit of eternal life or exploring unknown powers.

Just after the information about superpowers exploded on the internet, various countries quickly discovered a problem. Within just one day, billions of people resigned or skipped classes to head to the newly emerged continent, hoping to find a "stroke of luck" there that could change their destiny.

The problem had arisen!

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Steven was already standing at the entrance to William's yard.

After William got up, he made his breakfast as usual.

"William, the whole world is in chaos," Steven exclaimed as he walked into the yard.

William, standing in the kitchen and not even glancing at Steven, asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"..." Steven, who had a lot to say, was stopped by William's unexpected question. "I... haven't eaten yet..."

William then asked, "How about some fried egg toast? Would you like some?"

"Alright... I'll have some," Steven replied, a bit restrained ever since experiencing William's formidable abilities.

As William prepared the ingredients, he asked, "What's causing all this chaos in the world all of a sudden?"

Steven answered passionately, "Now, many people are skipping work to seek adventures in the wilderness. If this continues, the order of our everyday lives will be disrupted."

William glanced at him and chuckled, "Why are you telling me this? If you didn't know me, how would you handle this situation?"

"This..." Steven paused, taken aback.

Right!

Why did he come to William?

If he didn't know William and faced this situation, he would probably have to figure out a solution on his own.

But ever since he became aware of William's capabilities, his mindset seemed to have subconsciously shifted.

"In times of great upheaval, there is always a sage who rises to the occasion." In Steven's eyes, wasn't William that sage?

So, seeking William's advice in such a situation seemed quite reasonable.

After a moment of silence, Steven said, "If it were up to me, I think deploying the military to seal off the newly emerged land would prevent all this from happening."

William didn't respond, quietly continuing to make the fried egg toast.

Standing by, Steven thought for a while and said, "It's like dealing with a burst pipe; I know it's better to channel than to block, but how do we channel this?"

An hour passed, and the fried egg toast was finally ready.

William took out some pickled cucumbers from a jar in the kitchen and prepared a bowl of oatmeal porridge for Steven, saying, "You can serve yourself."

Steven hurriedly went forward to serve the oatmeal. For someone like William who possesses great power, the act of personally cooking porridge for him made Steven feel very surprised and honored.

Sitting in the yard with their oatmeal porridge, William finally spoke slowly: "Actually, managing the current situation is quite simple. Just let those Guilds issue some requirements for recruiting apprentices."

"The idea of deploying the military to stop this doesn't make much sense," William continued. "In fact, there's no need to worry about this at all. Those Guilds will soon realize that setting up magical barriers is the best choice. They definitely wouldn't want their Guilds to be observed by ordinary people."

"Uh..." Steven was momentarily stunned.

William blew on his porridge and said, "So, it's the Soulmancers of those Guilds who should be worried right now, not you."

"Ah?" Hearing William's words, Steven had an epiphany.

That's right!

Not everyone can learn to become a Soulmancer.

Those Guilds don't just accept anyone as an apprentice.

With so many people going to the Guilds seeking adventures today, only a very few would be selected by the Guilds.

Even in the mysterious ancient times, not everyone could learn to become a Soulmancer.

It should indeed be the Soulmancers of those Guilds who are troubled by the current situation.

"I understand now!" Steven put down his oatmeal porridge and was ready to head to those Guilds. By discussing with the leaders of those Guilds, the chaos that occurred today would soon subside.

"Take Alice with you," William said. "You can ask her how to handle it."

After all, Alice was his apprentice, and today's events were a test of Alice's judgment.

To transform into a stronger individual, it's not just about increasing one's strength,one's thoughts and understanding must also grow stronger.
