"I'm sorry, Ancient Sage. I misspoke earlier." Dustin apologized with an awkward expression."It's okay. I'm not bothered by it." Arion laughed heartily. He then waved at Kaden. "Bring out his reward.""Of course," Kaden replied, then retrieved a jade box and placed it on the table beside Dustin."Go ahead and open it." Arion smiled and motioned for Dustin to look inside.Dustin nodded and carefully opened the box with both hands. Inside, he found three translucent orbs—one gold, one red, and one green.Each orb glowed faintly, and inside, a small snake of the same color slithered. Their movements were graceful and almost alive."Dracan essence!" Dustin's eyes widened in surprise.He had encountered Dracan essence before and immediately recognized the orbs. But what surprised him was that Sacred Wyrm Summit had not one, but three of them. It made him wonder what kind of treasure-filled land this was."Well, how do you like the reward?" Arion asked with a smile."Ancient Sage,

"The younger generation truly is taking the lead," Alloy said, narrowing his eyes. His expression showed a mix of surprise and delight.Even though he knew Dustin was Seth's disciple, he never believed Dustin could defeat Glenn. The outcome was completely unexpected.He lost his bet, but he wasn't upset. At the very least, the Sword Union didn't claim the title. The Celestial Alliance still had a chance to make their move.The next challenge was figuring out how to recruit Dustin into his guild. Training resources and empty promises wouldn't be enough, especially with the Sword Union and the Mystic Arts Order also having their sights set on him.Alloy knew he needed a more creative approach. Then, he thought about Dustin's close ties with his daughters. He figured a little matchmaking might just tip the scales in his favor."You've been holding back all this time, and now you're finally making waves," Penelope said, grinning. She was pleased with Dustin's performance.Since Abiga

"A draw?"Kaden's announcement sent the crowd into an uproar. This outcome was unexpected by many.In martial arts, there was no room for a draw. Once the match started, someone had to come out on top, especially in this highly anticipated championship match. Otherwise, what was the point of fighting if no winner was declared?And more importantly, what would happen to the bets without a winner? Would the bookmaker take all the wagers?"Yes! A draw is fine," Abigail exclaimed, practically jumping with joy.She had only planned to take some handling fees to enjoy herself. Yet, she hadn't expected this outcome at all. It seemed like fate was making her rich."I wonder if the two contestants are satisfied with this arrangement." Kaden turned his gaze to Dustin and Glenn.Both men had pushed themselves to their limits. Their energy reserves were drained, and they had no strength to continue. The battle ring was destroyed, and the defense formation was shattered. There was no place

A thunderous boom shook the ground like an earthquake.When the purple sword aura clashed with the nine-colored divine swords, a terrifying energy wave suddenly erupted like a volcanic eruption. Wherever the waves of energy swept through, the air thundered with an ear-splitting roar, and the space around them seemed to warp.The once-solid battle ring cracked like brittle glass and shattered into rubble. Above it, the massive blue protective shield expanded to its limit and trembled violently under the strain. Cracks spread like spider webs across its surface. It weaved together into a web-like pattern that spread across the entire shield."Hold it together!" Oron shouted. He and several other Sacred Wyrm Summit masters frantically channeled their internal energy into the formation.But no matter how hard they tried, the cracks continued to spread. A moment later, the barrier shattered with a deafening crash.Oron and several other masters from Sacred Wyrm Summit were blasted ba

Glenn now wielded nine legendary swords, but they still paled in comparison to the Dragon Sparrow, a true treasure. If he could get his hands on it, he would consider half his life's goals accomplished."I didn't want to bring out the Dragon Sparrow. But at this point, I can't win without it."Dustin raised his hand and gripped the Dragon Sparrow firmly. It was the legacy Seth had left him.Dustin had sworn never to use it unless absolutely necessary, but the pressure Glenn was putting on him was overwhelming. So, he had no choice but to call upon the sword."If you care so much about winning this match, how about we make a deal?" Glenn said eagerly. "I can put you on the champion's throne, but in return, you'll have to give me the Dragon Sparrow. What do you say?"Compared to the fame of winning the tournament, the sword was priceless. Giving up the championship meant nothing to him. He wouldn't hesitate to betray the Sword Union if it meant getting the sword."Are you insulting

"Glenn has unleashed all nine of his divine swords. He's unstoppable now!""The pressure's overwhelming, and those strikes are deadly!""It's over for Dustin. There's no way he can survive this!"As the Voidreaver came crashing down, the spectators held their breath. No one had anticipated the ninth divine sword to pack such devastating power. It was as if it could tear the world apart."Dragon Sparrow!" Seeing the tide turn against him, Dustin shouted sharply.Next, a brilliant purple light shot down from the sky and slammed into the enormous Voidreaver with lightning speed.The impact was deafening, and the purple light erupted outward. The Voidreaver shattered instantly and revealed its true form beneath. It was sent flying more than 30 feet away.After sending the Voidreaver tumbling, the purple light kept its momentum. It struck and knocked away several flying swords in its path before hovering in front of Dustin.It was a divine sword, purple with golden accents."Oh my

Glenn wasn't just skilled in swordsmanship, but his technique was also flawless. Every strike was unpredictable, relentless, and impossible to block. His attacks came in waves, and each one was stronger than the last.What made him even more terrifying were the six divine swords that obeyed his every command. They were like extensions of his will. The swords threw Dustin off balance, attacking from every direction and blocking any chance of escape. They moved in perfect sync with Glenn and left no room for counterattacks.Dustin had no choice but to dodge and parry. If not for his incredible agility and mastery of the sword, he wouldn't have lasted more than a few breaths.Even so, the pressure was overwhelming. It felt like he wasn't just facing Glenn but six or seven skilled opponents at once. Any slip in focus, or any opening, could be his last.The real challenge was that Dustin wasn't gaining any ground. While he had to stay focused on dodging and blocking, he also had to se

Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Dustin and Glenn stepped onto the battle ring. They stood about 30 feet apart, and their eyes locked across the distance. Their gazes met like sparks, and they could feel the weight of the other's stare."Are you Logan?" Glenn asked, breaking the silence.He had heard the rumors about this dark horse before stepping into the ring, but now that he was facing him, he wasn't sure."Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is who wins this fight." Dustin didn't confirm or deny it, but his words left Glenn with no doubt.Both men were at the top of the Legendary List and held equal rank on the Champ-Tier List. Until they fought, no one could say who was the stronger of the two."I heard you're Seth's disciple, so I'm really looking forward to this." Glenn's gaze sharpened.Many years ago, his mentor, Cyrus, was defeated by Seth. That loss had always haunted Cyrus ever since. Now, with the disciples of both men about to face off, Glenn was determin

"Since Madam Penelope has spoken, I’ll follow her lead," Alloy said with a smile. "What about Mr. Hadley and Sage Foyer?""I'm in if you want to make a bet," Cyrus replied coolly."It's not every day we get an opportunity like this. Let me stir things up a bit." Kaden nodded with a grin.Once the three had agreed, Penelope waved for Abigail to come over.Soon, Abigail approached them with a wide grin. "Esteemed guests, I hear you want to bet. The current odds are—bet on Dustin to win, and you'll get 1.6 times your stake. Bet on Glenn, and it's only 0.4."She continued, "And no worries—if you win, I'll exchange your winnings for celestial stones." Abigail smiled brightly, and the other parties' eyes gleamed with the unmistakable shine of greed.Many had already placed their bets with her. Though she couldn't control the match's outcome, she knew how to adjust the odds to her advantage. Over time, that could turn into a huge fortune."I'm betting on Glenn to win." Cyrus quickly

“Dustin, here is the divorce agreement prepared by Ms. Nicholson. All you need to do is sign them.”In the president’s office of the Quine Group, the secretary, Lyra Blaine, placed a piece of A4 paper on the table. A man sat opposite her, dressed in plain clothing.“Divorce? What do you mean?”Dustin Rhys was taken aback.“Do you not understand what I’m saying? Your marriage with Ms. Nicholson is over. You’re not even on the same level anymore. Your existence is nothing but a smear on the president’s reputation!”Lyra pulled no punches as she spoke.“A smear on her reputation?” Dustin frowned. “Is that how she thinks of me?”Back when they first got married, the Nicholson family was in ruinous debt. He was the one who helped them when they were at their lowest point. Now that they were rich, Dahlia Nicholson was ready to just kick him out.“Something like that.” Lyra jerked her chin toward the magazine on the table. A photo of a beautiful woman was printed on the front page. “Look at t
