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

"Get lost! I'm not in the mood for anything right now. If you want to eat, go on your own." Warrick snapped, looking annoyed."I'm not going either," Percival refused flatly. "I'm on a health regimen these days—only tea, no alcohol.""Fine. If you're going to wait, then keep waiting. I won't be sticking around." Huxley forced a smile and acted like he was about to leave.But as he turned, he almost bumped into Boston, who was approaching from the other direction."Sorry, Sir Thatcher! I hope I didn't startle you." Since he was surrounded by so many high-ranking officials, Boston was already on edge. He had momentarily spaced out and almost caused a mishap by running into Huxley, which left him flustered and a bit tongue-tied.Unlike the other generals, Boston didn't come from an influential background or have any powerful connections. He had worked his way up from the bottom, and the last thing he wanted was to offend Huxley and risk losing everything he had fought so hard for.

After parting ways with Boston, Jovian checked into a nearby hotel to await the good news. Boston wasted no time. After changing into a fresh set of clothes, he headed to the castle to deliver a letter of introduction. But when he arrived, he was stunned by what he saw.The gates of the West Lucozian monarchy had already gathered quite a few people, and among them were several figures he immediately recognized. These included Huxley Thatcher, the Commander of the Militia; Warrick Prescott, the Major General of the State Guard; and Percival Wentworth, the Chancellor of the National Academy.These three were first-ranking officials. In West Lucozia, they were nothing short of kingmakers who wielded immense power and influence. Warrick, in particular, was two ranks above Boston. Hence, he felt the need to be cautious in his presence and was eager not to make a bad impression.Alongside these three prominent figures, several second- and third-ranking officials also stood in line at

The following morning, Jovian stood at the entrance of West Lucozia Airport, wearing a sharp suit.Before the trip, he had contacted his comrade with whom he had fought side by side in the military. After earning military merit and with the Ballard family's influence, he was fortunate enough to stay in Oakvale and secure a decent position.His comrade, on the other hand, had moved to West Lucozia to carve out a life for himself. Years of hard work had paid off—he was now a third-rank general with considerable power, influence, and a strong network of connections. Jovian's meeting with the Prince of West Lucozia would depend entirely on his comrade's connections.Just then, the roar of an engine cut through the air as a military jeep pulled up beside him. The window rolled down, and the first thing that came into view was a bald head gleaming in the sunlight like a lightbulb. The glare nearly blinded him.Under that shiny dome was a face that looked ordinary at first glance. But w

"Grandfather, I understand why you sent Uncle Jonathan and Uncle Jensen to the Spanner and Fallon families to gather information," Natasha began. "But West Lucozia is thousands of miles away."She shook her head slightly. "They've always stayed out of the government's political matters. Sending Uncle Jovian there wouldn't achieve anything. He'd likely just be turned away." Oakvale and West Lucozia were worlds apart. The fight for the Oakvale throne didn't really affect the West Lucozian monarchy. Both sides had long adhered to an unspoken agreement to avoid meddling in each other's affairs."I know, but it'll be different this time. The royal throne is at stake, and every faction will do whatever it takes to secure West Lucozia's support. If the West Lucozian monarchy picks a side, the balance we've maintained for years will collapse. That's why I need to be ready for whatever happens," Simon replied.It would be best if the West Lucozian monarchy stayed out of the political strug

At the Ballard estate, Dustin was warmly welcomed to stay after dinner. This was the first time Natasha had brought her boyfriend home, so the Ballards made a big deal of it.Simon personally accompanied the young couple and invited them to the study to chat over tea. With his sharp eye, Simon could tell Dustin was no ordinary martial artist. His manners, speech, and broad knowledge set him apart from most people."Dustin, I fully support your relationship with Natasha. Your background or status doesn't matter. What matters most is that you two are happy together." Simon paused and said earnestly, "I want you to understand that she's been pampered all her life and hasn't faced much hardship. Now that she's with you, I hope you'll take good care of her.""Don't worry, Mr. Ballard. I would never let her down," Dustin replied sincerely.Though they had known each other for some time and hadn't yet taken their relationship to the next level, they had already made their feelings clear

After hearing Nathaniel's words, Tristan's expression darkened. His brow furrowed as he sank into deep thought.It seemed he had underestimated the situation. He had assumed it was just a simple rivalry between brothers; he hadn't anticipated Seamus seizing the chance to further his own agenda.Seamus already wielded considerable influence. Under the guise of supporting Matthias' ascension to the throne, he had been forming alliances and recruiting talents. His influence had grown to rival the royal family's.If Seamus really supported Matthias' ascension, he'd overshadow the king, and no one would be able to stop him. The worst-case scenario would be Seamus using Matthias as a puppet to overthrow the House of Linsor."Nathaniel, is everything you said true?" Tristan frowned."Absolutely. Every word," Nathaniel replied solemnly. "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate.""I believe you. But… taking down Seamus won't be easy. Do you have a plan?" Tr

An hour later, Nathaniel quietly entered a private mansion wearing a disguise.Inside the living room, Tristan had already prepared tea and refreshments. He looked as if he had been waiting for a long time."Sorry to have kept you waiting, Tristan." Nathaniel took off his coat and walked forward with a smile."No need to apologize. I'm happy that you made the effort to arrange this. A few extra minutes are nothing, especially since it's rare for us to meet." Tristan gestured for him to sit while he poured two cups of tea and handed one to his brother.Nathaniel accepted the cup and discreetly set it aside. Whenever he was out, he was always cautious about food and drink—this wariness had become second nature."You asked to meet me on short notice. Is this about official matters or something personal?" Tristan took a sip from his cup and got straight to the point."Both," Nathaniel replied, still smiling."Oh?" Tristan raised an eyebrow. "Let's hear it, then.""Given how things

In another luxurious mansion in the Inner City, a female spy dressed in black, cloaked in a hood, was reporting the results of her investigation to Nathaniel."Your Highness, the Moseys have been particularly active recently and are rallying allies. Many of the eight great families and other influential factions have already allied with them. If left unchecked, they'll pose a serious threat to us," she said, kneeling with her head lowered slightly."So the Moseys are backing Matthias, huh?" Nathaniel sat quietly, his expression unreadable."The Moseys have grand ambitions. While they claim to support Prince Matthias, they're merely setting him up as a puppet to rise to power and expand their own influence," she revealed.She had been infiltrating the Moseys' mansion for years and had gained a deep understanding of their operations, from the smallest details to the key players.Though Seamus appeared as a benevolent philanthropist, it was all a façade. Behind closed doors, he was r

That night, two young men sat playing chess inside a secluded mansion in the Inner City. On the left was Anders, who had visited the Ballard estate earlier. Across from him sat Matthias, a broad-shouldered man dressed in richly adorned robes.The game was intense, with fast moves followed by moments of deep thought. About ten minutes later, Anders finally conceded defeat."Anders, you've really improved since we last played. You almost had me there," Matthias said, stroking his beard in mild surprise."You flatter me, Your Highness. My chess skills are nothing compared to yours. If you hadn't gone easy on me, I wouldn't have lasted half as long," Anders replied with a modest smile."You're as smooth with words as ever." Matthias let out a hearty laugh with a look of smug satisfaction. Winning was in his nature—whether in war or on the chessboard, defeat was not an option."Well, we've eaten, and we've played. Let's get to business." With a wave of his hand, he signaled his men t
