William didn't remain idle in the Auction House after getting what he wanted. He had hardly any Spirit Jades left, and he wanted to upgrade his Mind Talent as soon as possible.
With the hours invested in understanding the Primordial Soul Devourer Technique, William's Sea of Consciousness was under much less stress than before, and color had fully returned to his face.

Forget the Fitness Talent; too many sudden movements and his Sea of Consciousness would shatter like tossing a rock through a window.
