An Understated Dominance Chapter 1649
"An ultimate grandmaster … Sir Anders' strike is definitely one of an ultimate grandmaster's!" The Silver Sage was looking up with awe and shock. He had thought Logan was a force to be reckoned with, but he didn't expect Anders to be even stronger. Reaching the realm of a grandmaster yet displaying the skills of an ultimate grandmaster was simply unimaginable!Was this what they called an unparalleled prodigy? He would never be able to catch up to him in his lifetime. "Wow! What a powerful strike. Just how many people in the world could defend against it?" Madam Monroe was left dumbfounded and utterly shaken. She had considered herself skilled, but her skills felt inconsequential in the presence of a powerhouse like Anders."Incredible! If I had even half of Sir Anders' skills, I'd be filled with pride!" The disciples of Nexus Gate were both shocked, awed, and even slightly envious. They finally understood what it meant to be a true prodigy."Hmph! Nothing but showy moves!
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1650
Right then, Anders' body convulsed, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Instantly, his face turned pale, and the Frostflame Demonblade he was holding was thrust into the ground with a clang, used to support his slightly trembling body. It was evident that Anders had been seriously injured in their last clash. "What?"The entire crowd was in shock at the scene before them. Their eyes were wide open, and everyone was in disbelief.Anders had lost? How was that possible? Anders was the strongest of the four Gods of War, an enemy of thousands on the battlefield. The power he displayed earlier had been comparable to that of an ultimate grandmaster. How could such a powerhouse be defeated?Was Dustin really so strong that not even Anders matched him? "You ... You've been hiding your true strength all along?"Anders gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, looking incredulous. He had given it his all in the previous strike, thinking he could eliminate Logan eas

"Huh?"When Dustin's gaze flickered over to Anders, Anders was taken aback, feeling inexplicably uneasy. Earlier, while the Fang Legion was buying him time, he had swallowed a pill to heal himself faster and restore his vitality. After a few minutes of rest, the discomfort from his internal injuries had disappeared, and most of his energy had been restored. In contrast, Dustin must have used up most of his energy from the continuous fighting. In this situation, he still had a chance of winning. Anders gained more confidence from the thought of this. However, to be on the safe side, it would be best to overwhelm Dustin with numbers. Even if it wouldn't be an honorable win, it was better than taking unnecessary risks alone. "Dear heroes, Logan is almost out of energy. If we join forces, we will surely succeed in slaying him!" Anders declared loudly. Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged doubtful glances. Dustin didn't appear to be tired. If they approached him rashly, th

The Silver Sage was pleasantly surprised, looking like he had found a savior. Despite the Stormfire Order's reputable status, they were leagues behind the Celestial Alliance.As early as two years ago, there were rumors that Fenley had already glimpsed the threshold of an ultimate grandmaster. An extraordinary talent like him was truly unparalleled."With Fenley on our side, there's no way for Logan to escape!" Madam Monroe's eyes gleamed with delight.Just moments ago, she had been considering seizing the opportunity to flee for her life. Now, such considerations were unnecessary since Fenley's presence had instilled a sense of peace. "Greetings, Sir Hudson!" The moment Fenley landed, the crowd immediately showered him with the utmost respect."Esteemed heroes, kindly step back and leave the battle to me," Fenley announced with a resounding voice."Yes, sir!" The crowd acknowledged him in unison, promptly positioning themselves on both sides.They were eager to just stand on t

"Hey guys, who do you think is stronger between Logan and Fenley?" "If both are at their peak, it's hard to say. It would depend on how they improvise." "Nonsense! Of course, it's Sir Hudson! Logan is already past his prime, and Sir Hudson is the true unparalleled genius now!" "I also think Sir Hudson has a better chance of winning. After all, Logan had just finished a battle and must be tired."As the martial artists took in the confrontation between Dustin and Fenley on the field, they began to whisper and speculate. Since both were top-tier talents and seemingly unattainable existences, their public face-off inevitably generated high expectations. However, most of them leaned toward Fenley.Fenley had become widely renowned and seemingly unstoppable in recent years. He seemed poised to be invincible. Although Dustin was powerful, he was still relying on his past glory. Compared to Fenley's current dominance, he would still fall somewhat short."Get on with it, both of y

The illusory image was enveloped in swirling flames. The scorching heat looked like it could melt the ground."Fury of Fire God!"As his energy reached its peak, Fenley thrust both palms forward forcefully. The illusory Fire God behind him instantly mirrored his motion. Following that, a crimson-flaming dragon shot forth, lunging toward Dustin."Vermilion Bird!" Dustin's energy transformed once more and materialized above his head into a massive, flaming divine bird."Soar!" The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings, making it rain sparks. Then, it shot forward like an arrow released from the bow, colliding with Fenley's flaming dragon in a resounding clash.Another explosion rang out. While the Vermilion Bird exploded on the spot and dispersed into a myriad of firelights, the flaming dragon shattered into pieces upon impact. Once again, both sides found themselves in a stalemate. Fenley was not surprised by the outcome, unleashing his third move instead. He took a deep brea

"Here it comes! The ultimate move of the Four Elements of God's Technique is finally coming!" "There's a rumor that no one has ever witnessed the Fury of Lightning God since everyone who's seen it is already dead. I can't believe we will have the privilege of witnessing one of the five supreme skills of the martial world today.""Considering Logan's identity, it's an honor for him to die from the Four Elements of God's Technique." Looking at Fenley rise gracefully into the air with an imposing and majestic aura, the crowd couldn't help but feel awed as if looking up to a God.The Four Elements of God's Technique was not only the Celestial Alliance guildmaster's signature skill, it was also recognized as one of the five supreme skills in the martial world. They had only heard about it but had never witnessed it before.The previous three techniques were already very impressive, and now, as Fenley prepared to unleash the strongest move, nobody had an idea of how terrifying it co
An Understated Dominance Chapter 1656
The moment the Lightning God manifestation crumbled, Fenley coughed up a mouthful of blood as if dealt a heavy blow. His face turned as pale as paper, and he staggered, appearing completely drained of vitality."How is this possible? How could I lose?" Fenley stared at his hands in disbelief. For years, he had stood unrivaled, making any genius pale in comparison. He believed he would be invincible, defeating all challengers.However, today dealt him a resounding and harsh defeat. The Four Elements of God's Technique were unleashed without reservation. Logan confronted each strike head-on, devoid of defense or evasion.Every move represented a direct clash of absolute strength without compromise or trickery. Though it might seem unbelievable, Fenley must acknowledge that he had lost. With his formidable strength, Dustin had openly shattered the Four Elements of God's Technique and dismantled Fenley's invincible myth. In this battle, Fenley genuinely accepted his defeat."My goodn

The next morning, Nathaniel was inside a lavish mansion. He was in his study, flipping through an ancient manuscript. One of his most trusted aides hurried in and lowered his voice, "Your Royal Highness, word just came in. Another trace of Dracan essence has been found."Nathaniel raised an eyebrow and closed the manuscript. "Where?""Our investigation shows it ended up in the hands of Logan Rhys," the aide replied."Logan Rhys?" Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly and was surprised by the name.He had tried to win Logan over before and spared no expense, but never received a response. Later, he discovered that Tristan and Matthias had done the same.Fortunately, Logan still hadn't picked a side. He might be holding out for the best offer, but at least he hadn't shut the door on Nathaniel.With the Dracan essence in his hands, Logan had become an even more valuable target. In addition to the West Lucozian monarchy, Logan was an ultimate grandmaster, which made him worth recrui

"Give me a moment to think," Dustin said.Grace's words sent him into deep thought.After all, carrying the fate of Dragonmarsh was no small burden. First, he had to be tough enough to handle it. Then, he needed the resolve to accept what came with it. Once he carried that burden, it meant taking on a heavyweight.He used to act on his own terms and do things as he pleased without worrying too much about the consequences. But once the nation's fate was involved, everything changed.Not that he had many options.Dustin could either hide in Sacred Wrym Summit and hope Arion would protect him, or take a risk and absorb the Dragonmarsh's fate to push through his cultivation's bottleneck. Between the two, he was leaning toward the latter."I can give your plan a shot," Dustin said suddenly. "But we're still missing a piece of the Dracan essence. If we're doing this, we need to find that last one first."Only once all five pieces of Dracan essence were united could he truly wield the

"Royal gods? And two of them?" Dustin frowned at the news.His battle with Poseidon in West Lucozia had shown him firsthand that the Hall of Gods didn't send weaklings into the field.One royal god had already pushed him to his limit. If two came at him together, winning wasn't even the question. He'd be lucky just to make it out alive."That's right," Grace said solemnly. "The royal gods, Zeus and Hera, have crossed the border. They're even stronger than Poseidon. If they ambush you together, your chances are slim."She knew Dustin was strong, but he was still young. Moreover, Zeus and Hera weren't just anyone. They were world-class powerhouses. Surviving a fight with them would be next to impossible.The Hall of Gods had probably figured out how dangerous Dustin could become. If they had given him a few more years to grow, they might not have been able to stop him."Well, that complicates things." Dustin rested his chin in one hand with a thoughtful expression.Two royal god

Soluna Hall had one rule—they wouldn't accept unfamiliar customers. They only served those they knew well or people introduced by someone they trusted. Every transaction required an appointment. Exceptions were made for urgent matters, but those came with an additional fee.When Dustin reached the entrance, two security guards stopped him. After stating his name and being verified by the guards, they let him through.Inside, a female attendant with a pleasant smile greeted him and led him across the main hall straight into the back garden. They passed a small fish pond and stopped in front of a secluded private room."This is Ms. Linsor's private reception area. Mr. Rhys, please come in," the female attendant said with a smile."She's not here?" Dustin asked curiously."She had something come up, but she'll be here soon. Please make yourself comfortable," the attendant said, still smiling."Alright then." He nodded and walked into the room.The room was spacious, with a vintag

"You're wrong, Tristan," Matthias said with a meaningful look.He continued, "Sure, I've got the Moseys to back me, but I'm still far from securing the throne. Nathaniel's got strong backing too, and this won't be an easy win. But if you were to support me, I'd say my chances shoot up to 80%."In his eyes, Tristan's support was worth more than the Ballard family.If he could win Tristan over, his odds would jump from 60% to nearly 80%. The only question now was whether Tristan would be willing to shelve his own ambitions and place his bet on Matthias."You know me, Matthias. I've never been one for ambition or glory. This kind of power struggle just isn't for me. I hope you can understand that," Tristan said.After thinking about it thoroughly, he finally turned his brother down. He knew his chances of winning were slim, yet he couldn't let go.Tristan was the eldest legitimate son, the rightful and undisputed heir to the throne. Aside from his poor health, he had no real shortco

Tristan, Matthias, and Nathaniel weren't fools. They understood the unspoken message loud and clear.Their purpose for this trip was to take advantage of the opportunity to offer their condolences and win the Ballard family's support. Should it work, all the better. If not, they'd at least make a good impression. The key was that as long as the Ballard family didn't pick a side or turn against them, there was still room to make things work. No need to rush into anything.Tristan spoke first. "You're being too kind, Duke of Lachshire. We've always admired Mr. Jovian's loyalty and courage. We're simply here to pay our respects—nothing more."Matthias added, "That's right. Your family has a lot to deal with right now. Plus, you're not as young as you used to be, so don't wear yourself out over this. We won't take up more of your time today."He gave a respectful nod, then turned to leave."Duke—"Nathaniel opened his mouth to speak, but Tristan interrupted. "That's enough, Nathani

"Oh? I didn't expect both of you to be here," Nathaniel said.He was just about to pay his respects when he spotted Tristan and Matthias inside the mourning hall. He gave a respectful nod and said, "Hello, Tristan, Matthias."Truthfully, he wasn't surprised. He had already guessed they would show up.The four ancient houses and the eight great families were all key players he needed on his side. And with the Ballard family still undecided, he wasn't about to miss the chance to make an impression."I heard you left Oakvale on official business. Funny how quickly you came back," Tristan said, his tone laced with meaning."It wasn't anything important. When I heard about Mr. Jovian's passing, I returned immediately. I wanted to pay my respects in person," Nathaniel answered smoothly, without missing a beat.He brushed off Tristan's subtle jab and used the moment to show the Ballard family he was genuinely there to pay his respects."Don't just stand there, Nathaniel. Go pay your re

"Your Royal Highness, it's an honor to have you here," Jonathan said.Upon seeing the distinguished guest arrive, he quickly pulled himself together and aside his grief. He led his family to greet Tristan, and they bowed in respect.Before they could finish the gesture, Tristan raised a hand to stop them. "No need for such formalities," he said. "The deceased deserves our respect."He turned to Jovian's portrait, which was displayed in the mourning hall, and sighed deeply.Tristan continued, "Mr. Jovian's untimely passing is truly a great loss to Dragonmarsh. May his soul rest in peace. My condolences to your family during this difficult time."Jonathan's eyes were filled with tears as he bowed his head slightly. "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kind words. My family is heartbroken over my brother's tragic death."Tristan nodded slightly. His gaze quickly swept across the hall before asking, "I've heard that Duke Lachshire fainted from grief. How is he doing now?"Jonathan

The unrest in West Lucozia finally ended with the capture of Warrick.Every official who was his accomplice was thoroughly investigated. Those who needed to be arrested were taken into custody, and those who deserved to be punished were executed.After the purge, more than 300 officials in West Lucozia were removed from their posts. Those guilty were arrested, and those whose crimes were severe were executed.Under Austin's iron-fisted reforms, West Lucozia's government underwent a complete overhaul. Corruption, bribery, and the tangled web of illegal deals were swept away like dust in the wind.The citizens quickly noticed the difference. When they visited government offices, they no longer faced delays, refusals, or demands for bribes.Long-neglected public issues began to move forward, thanks to the organized efforts of newly appointed officials. Things were improving across the board.Instead of fearing the crackdown, the citizens welcomed it. The corrupt officials who had dr
