An Understated Dominance Chapter 1174
The girl with the ponytail hugged Dustin and Cornelius. "I'm Lyn Rosier, a disciple of the Moonlight Reverence. What's your name?""I'm Rhys, and this is Mr. Adler," Dustin replied."Hello, Mr. Rhys and Mr. Adler," Lyn responded respectfully."Damn it! How dare you hit me?" Having been slapped earlier, Toddy was still seething with rage. He immediately lunged at the unconscious enforcement team captain. Then, he let loose a barrage of punches and kicks to vent his frustration.The unjust slap had filled Toddy with murderous intent."That's enough, Toddy, stop it. If you keep this up, someone could die." Lyn quickly intervened when she saw the situation was getting out of hand."Hmph! He deserved it. He's just a bully!" Toddy, still angry, kicked a few more times before finally walking away."Mr. Rhys, Mr. Adler, this is Toddy," Lyn said."Nice to meet you." Dustin nodded with a faint smile."Hmph! Who told you to get involved?" Toddy looked hostile."Huh?" Dustin was baffle

"Alright, Toddy. Please stop this nonsense." Lyn pleaded when Cornelius's patience had reached its limit.She continued, "No matter what, Mr. Rhys and Mr. Adler have helped us. Aren't you being rude to them?"She knew that if Dustin hadn't stepped in sooner, she might have died. Now that Toddy was being so rude, it really annoyed her."Lyn, these guys are looking down on us. I just want to prove that Moonlight Reverence is just as good and show them what we're made of!" Toddy asserted."That's not proof, that's provocation. If you keep acting like this, I'm going to get angry!" Lyn scolded."Okay, I'm sorry. I won't act up anymore. Please don't be mad," Toddy apologized and tried to appease her. "Mr. Rhys, Mr. Adler, I'm really sorry for Toddy's behavior earlier. I hope you can forgive him." Lyn turned to Dustin and Cornelius to apologize."Since you're a reasonable young lady, I'll let it pass," Cornelius finally relented."Tsk, you're just putting on a show," Toddy muttered.

At those words, some martial artists looked at Toddy with disdain.They were stunned at the audacity of this newcomer. He claimed to be better than the young grandmaster.The young grandmaster had defeated Augustus and was now challenging Ronald. Even the most talented leaders of the major guilds would not have the audacity to be so arrogant. They were baffled as to how a nobody like Toddy could muster the courage to boast in such a manner."Toddy! Choose your words carefully!" Lyn frowned. She whispered, "The young grandmaster is a once-in-a-century prodigy. He's in a league of his own, far above the rest of us. How can we even begin to compare?"Without a pause, she added, "He became a grandmaster in his twenties. Meanwhile, we haven't even reached the divine level. The difference between us is immeasurable. Even if we practice endlessly, we will never be able to catch up.""Hey, Lyn, you are making someone else look good while making yourself look bad. You should know that

"What? Josie of the Frostlanders?"As those words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar. Boulderthorn was already one of the top major guilds in Balerno. As the chief of the subsidiary guild, Josie was renowned in the martial world. She stood out among her peers with her unfathomable cultivation skills and outstanding swordsmanship."I've heard that Josie is cold and ruthless. She never hesitates to kill others. Those brats are in trouble now.""Serves them right. A disciple from some third-rate guild dares to compare himself to a young grandmaster? He's really ignorant and arrogant!"The crowd began to whisper as if they were preparing for a show. In martial arts, strength spoke for itself, and the strongest was in charge."So, you're Josie. I've heard so much about you," Lyn greeted Josie respectfully. At that moment, Lyn tried to defuse the tension. However, Josie ignored her and glanced at Toddy. She said coldly, "You just claimed to have extraordinary talents and

Josie impressed everyone with her agility."Cloud palm technique!" she shouted. As she got closer, her palm hit Toddy from below. She aimed for his chest and abdomen.Toddy scoffed, "Just a petty trick." But before he could fight back, her palm hit his chest.In an instant, it felt as if he had been hit by a speeding car, and he flew several feet into the air. He spat out a cloud of gruesome mist in the form of blood. With a dull thud, he crashed to the ground and slid several feet before coming to a halt."Toddy!"The Moonlight Reverence disciples were shocked and rushed to his side. They couldn't believe their senior had been defeated so easily.A single blow was enough to send Toddy flying. It surprised them, and they began to doubt his supposed strength. Some wondered if Toddy was as weak as he looked."He was talking big before the fight. I thought he'd be strong because of his confidence. It turned out to be the opposite.""He's completely useless. He couldn't even take

"If you're not skilled enough, you shouldn't even think about trying a surprise attack.""Being brought down in a single move is embarrassing, and now, you've also lost your dignity.""If I were you, I'd probably look for a place to hide."When Toddy's surprise attack failed, the crowd erupted in laughter at his expense. Their faces were full of scorn and mockery.Dealing with such public humiliation was hard for anyone."No … this can't be real."Surrounded by ridicule, Toddy began to doubt himself for the first time. He was the strongest senior disciple in Moonlight Reverence. With his exceptional talent and strength, he was destined to become a grandmaster.Yet, he had suffered a humiliating defeat and injured himself in a failed surprise attack. He wondered if the difference between them was so great or if he really lacked the ability."You ungrateful punk! I spared you, and you still had the gall to launch a surprise attack?" Josie's expression turned icy. "If you want t

When did another skilled young martial artist emerge in the martial world?"Josie, are you in any trouble?"Suddenly, a man dressed in green approached her. He was accompanied by a group of young martial artists. The man in green had a commanding air and a piercing gaze. His presence was so powerful that it forced onlookers to avert their eyes."Look at their clothes. They seem to be the members of the Soul Reapers?""You're right. He's Lance Alcott, the top disciple of the Soul Reapers.""Huh? Lance Alcott? I've heard that he's an outstanding young martial arts master. He has unmatched marksmanship and mysterious strength. He's considered to be the best martial artist of the younger generation. He even surpassed Josie.""If Lance is here, the situation will only get more interesting."The appearance of Lance caught everyone's attention. It was worth noting that the Soul Reapers was a prestigious guild like Boulderthorn. Although they didn't have as many members, the Soul Re

Seriously! Is this guy crazy? Is that how he talks to Lance?""The kid is pretty rude, doesn't he? He doesn't seem to realize how serious the situation is.""Can you believe it? A martial artist from a small guild challenging the chief senior disciple of the Soul Reapers? He's just looking for trouble!"Dustin's words caused a stir in the crowd.The martial artists were pointing and talking, and everyone stared at Dustin as if he were a fool. They wondered if it would be wiser to back down in the face of such a capable fighter as Lance.Dustin could have shown some respect and used polite words, even if it made him uncomfortable. That would have been safer than provoking Lance when he clearly couldn't win."What's going through that guy's mind?"Josie frowned. She didn't want to escalate the situation, but Dustin's words had only made things worse. It wasn't her problem anymore. But now, the reputation and honor of the Soul Reapers was at stake."Mr. Rhys, he's the Soul Reapers

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

"We're ready for the ultimate showdown of this tournament. The winner will be crowned the Combat Tournament Champion. Now, let's welcome both contestants to the ring." Oron's voice thundered as he stepped onto the battle ring.There was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.The long-awaited showdown was finally at hand. Today's outcome wasn't just about personal glory, but it would also decide the future of the martial world.If Glenn triumphed and claimed the crown, the Sword Union would rise as the undisputed guild. The Celestial Alliance and the Mystic Arts Order would have no choice but to bow to their supremacy.But if Dustin won, it would be even more sensational. A dark horse, without any guild affiliation, defeating the elite disciples of the major guild—such a story would send shockwaves through the martial world.Once that happened, every major guild would fight tooth and nail to claim him. It would spark a fierce battle for dominance."Dr. Rhys! Good luck!"

"H-Hold on! I-I surrender!" Abigail said urgently. With the sword inches away from her throat, she decisively raised both hands in a gesture of surrender.She didn't expect herself to win the match. Her goal was simply to take this opportunity to test Dustin's strength and also gauge her own progress. But now, it was clear that there was still a sizable gap between them."You've done well. In a few more years, I might not even be able to keep up with you." Dustin smiled and lowered his Celestial Blade. His words weren't flattery; he genuinely saw potential in Abigail.The dark Phoenix flames carried a corrosive power that even his mystical pure energy couldn't resist. In other words, Abigail's black flames were the bane of any martial artist.Her journey in the martial world was still short—barely two years. She hadn't unlocked the full potential of her Phoenix bloodline yet. But with more training and experience, the sky was the limit for her."Don't try to console me, Sir. I'm n

With a resounding bang, the golden light erupted with a burst of terrifying energy wave. In an instant, the earth trembled, and fierce winds whipped through the air.Dustin and his sword were sent flying several yards. After landing, he stumbled back several steps before finally steadying himself.He looked up and saw that Abigail's body was now covered in a layer of golden armor, though he couldn't tell when it had happened. The armor glowed brightly, and it made her look imposing and striking.It was clearly a divine artifact.The Mystic Arts Order had been around for centuries, with deep roots and countless treasures. As the Grand Sorceress, Abigail would obviously have several divine artifacts for protection.Dustin wasn't surprised, but the armor's counterforce caught him off guard. Not only did it protect her, but it also had offensive capabilities.When his sword struck the armor earlier, the blow didn't leave a scratch. Instead, the armor absorbed the hit and sent the for

Dustin raised his hand as the black feathers rained down on him. A white energy shield flared into existence to form a wall before him.The feathers slammed into the shield and sent ripples across its surface but failed to break through. However, the black flames on the feathers spread across the shield and burned through its energy at a visible pace. In the blink of an eye, the once impenetrable barrier cracked open and left a gaping hole.Dustin couldn't hide his surprise. His mystical pure energy was far stronger than the average grandmaster's internal energy in offense and defense. It was meant to be impenetrable. He hadn't anticipated it couldn't hold up against Abigail's phoenix flame.Seeing the raw strength of her bloodline, he knew he couldn't afford to take any chances. As the black flames spread, he swiftly waved his hand to summon a furious gust of wind that sent the feathers and flames flying."Glaring Wings!" Abigail wasn't done yet. She quickly formed hand seals and

Abigail moved with lightning speed, and her figure weaved in and out like a shadow. Her swift movements left a blur of afterimages that was hard for anyone watching to keep up.On the contrary, Dustin stood still without making any movement."Fallen Fist!"After closing in, she unleashed a flurry of strikes—dozens of black palm shadows slamming toward his body, and each one was like a bullet aimed at its target.Abigail practiced a unique martial art, and it was imbued with voodoo-like properties that could kill anyone who made contact with her. But Dustin's body was immune to all poisons, so it was a perfect counter to her deadly attack.As the shadow palms closed in, he remained unshaken and thrust his palm forward.A fierce gust of wind surged and ripped through the air with unrelenting force. It collided with the black palm shadows.Abigail's black palm shadows exploded on impact and disintegrated into thick clouds of dark mist that quickly spread. Within moments, the mist e

The whole arena suddenly fell dead silent. Everyone stared blankly, and not a soul dared to breathe. Alloy shot to his feet in the main spectator seats, and his face was tense with worry. Yet, he didn't dare make a sound. He feared it might startle Glenn into making a mistake that could cost Fenley's life.After all, Fenley represented the future of the Celestial Alliance. Alloy had invested all his effort into Fenley, and he provided him with endless resources. If Fenley were to die in the match, it would deal a devastating blow to the entire guild.While Alloy was gripped with worry, Cyrus and Penelope cheered silently. They secretly hoped Glenn's sword would strike Fenley. If that happened, the Celestial Alliance would take at least a decade to regain its former glory.Fenley's body stiffened as he stared at the Fang Master hovering inches from him. A shiver ran through his spine as goosebumps prickled his skin. Sweat trickled down his face, and each drop hit the ground with a
